Precinct caucuses were held in the
$50 precincts of Los Angeles county by
the Republicans last night to select
delegates to the district assembly eau
cuses which are to be held tomorrow
Afternoon at 1 o'clock
Secretary Petermichael had returns
from about 100 precincts last night at
the Republican league rooms, lS2s
South Spring street and telephone re-
ports from many more were that tne
caucuses had been well attended. MT.
Petermichael said the average at each
one would be about fifteen voters
which would give total of 425O par
ticipating in all the precincts.
AS the vote for Governor Gillett lase
fall was something over 10000 in the
county this is AMIDST 25 per centum
vote. Secretary Petermichael thought
this a very good representation, es-
necialIy as there was no IacIlondl
contest in the caucuses.
In a number of the precincts an at
tendance as high as sixty was reported.
this being caused by the riValry OF
MANY candidates for delegate. In
fayu the contests were warm but no
contested delegations were reported.
None of the country districts was
heard from.
The absence of the Lincoln-Roose-
welt Republicans from participation OF
course decreased the attendance, and
that such a large percentage should at
tend in spite of this fact was regarded
as very encouraging.
During the reception of the returns
the workers all talked confidently or
winning easily at the primaries. 1t
developed that several regular" COM
mitteemen had been named as candf-
dates for delegate by the Lincoln
Roosevelt slate makers and Secretary
Petermichael called up three of them.
They are z. A. Towne of Watts, Ira
A. Lee of Pomona and w c. Hendricks
of Azusa. Each of them Mr.. Peter
michael said declared he was placed on
the Lincoln Roosevelt ticket without
his knowledge and was still regular
committeeman.
Mr.. Petermichae1 laughed heartily
when he was told that the Lincoln
Roosevelt workers conceded only the
Seventy-fifth district to the regulars.

"Well, we're not shouting much now.
Well do that after the primaries"

THE TRUTH ABOUT

II asked what percentage ofAkidney
cases that show casts have enough of
the kidneys left for the patient TO re-

OF cases beyond recovery is smallA
One of the reasons for this belief is
that there are very few records in the

rare. Then again, Fulton's Renal Conn
