LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22--[Editor
Herald: Your issue of today contains
an article by M. German giving rea-
sons why workers should not vote
for Taft" and 1 would like to give a
reason why workers" should not vote
for any one who will not further the
cause of those who produce all wealth
and live in poverty. / do not believe
workers should vote for candidates of

Those interested in the election of
Albert Lee stephens should take every
opportunity to explain to tLeir friends
that the words "Vote for four" on the
ballot do not mean that it is COM
pulsory to vote for four. You may
vote for Judge Stephens and for no
other candidate. This will insure the
election of one Democrat out of nine
superior judges. This is fair propo-
sition,

By his persuasive and tactful ad-
dresses Jud Rush, Democratic candi-
date for congress, has made many con-
verts and friends. He is speaker OF
winning qualities-he wins his audi

The American nation sympathizes
with John w. Kern, Democratic candi-
date for vice president, whose campaign
tour was interrupted by news of the
serious illness Of his little son, to whose
bedside he hurried. Mr.. Kern repre-
sents everything that is ideal in home
life. He is one of the finest and
grandest of living Americans; as the
country will discover when he takes
office as vice president.

Consolidation

San Pedro is the first city to move
officially in the matter of consolidation
with Los Angeles. The city trustees
have appointed a committee of five cit
izens to meet commissions from Long
Beach, Santa Monica, Ocean Park, Will
mington, Redondo, Pasadena, Pomona
and other Southern California cities to
discuss the proposed consolidation of
certain cities with Los Angeles.--River-

Need for Publicity Law

Let us illustrate Suppose the pres
ent law had been effective when Mr..
Hartman raised $250,000 to aid In Mr.
Roosevelt's election. Mr.. Hartman
would have violated the law, but no
body would have known of the VIOLA
ton in the absence of a publicity law.
Mr.. Bliss and Mr.. Cortelyou, who fried
the fat, would not have told about 1t.
Certainly Mr.. Roosevelt would never
have mentioned it. If 1t had been
against the law to give it, Hartman
would never have told about it. Hence
the need for a publicity law such as
Mr.. Bryan demands, and such as the
Chicago convention turned down by a
vote of 9 to 1, and such as is NOT on
the books, Mr.. Shortridge to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding. - Bakersfield

n F. HARD is the Democratic can
X didate for assemblyman from
D' the Seventy-third district. He
is being supported by Independent Re-
publicans as we'll as by Democrats, and
has excellent prospects of winning the
election. In fact, his success Is as
sured beyond reasonable doubt. Op-
posed to him is Transue, one of the
record Republicans. Transue support
ed and voted for the change OF venue
bill, one of the most atrocious meas
ures ever proposed in any legislature.
He. was an enthusiastic supporter or
the bill to confer further powers on the
railroad commissioners, proposed by
Johnson of Sacramento. This measure
was designed to give the railroad COM
mission almost unlimited power. 1t
was ardently advocated by the machine
members, but opposed violently by de-
cent members. With the aid of Bell,
Cogswell, Harmon. Leeds, Pierce,
Stanton, Thompson and Transue it was
carried. When the iniquity of the bill
was discovered Assemblyman Devlin
it had been passed without knowledge
of it's real character and import. In
the most dutiful manner Leeds, Pierce,
Stanton, Harmon and Transue lined
up with the Herrin gang and voted
against reconsideration.
Mr.. Hard is an Independent and
clear-headed thinker, who will not ac-
cept instructions from the machine
He has been a resident of Los Angeles
since 1891, is familiar with the city's
needs, and may be depended upon to
use his vote, voice and influence for

the public service, having served one
term creditably and successfully as
memher of the board of education.
