political bosses of whatever party by
concerted and united effort was en-
phasized by Mann, by Bienfield and
others. Finally Chairman c. W. Eastin
said that the Lincoln Roosevelt league
was advocating principles in the repub-
lican party identical with those for
which the San Francisco democratic
applause and Arthur L. Barendt cried:
Next to the success of our own
movement, / want 10 see the Lincoln
Roosevelt league succeed. It's clean
movement and stands for clean poll
tiles"
URGE CLEAN ELECTION
Members of the club were urged by
Mann 10 work TO prevent the trading
of votes by political fnanipulators. He
was pledged the hearty support of the
club in making such efforts Intellectual
The members were urged to attend the
polls on the day Of the primaries and
forestau any efforts. to corrupt the cleo
tion.
Just before the close of the meeting
report from a committee, of which
Edwin r. Zion is chairman, appointed
some time ago by the club to inyesti-
gate the proposed ordinance granting
to George B. Willcutt, an employe of
the United Railroads, a "corkscrew"
franchise for a street car line on Va
lencia and other streets was received.
Zion read portions of communication
that had been drawn up for present
tion to Mayor Taylor protesting against
the granting Of the franchise by the
present board of supervisors, and speci-
fed several instances in which the ordi-
nance containd "jokers'' granting ex-
traordinary privileges to the new cor
poration.
The communication was for the pur-
pose of asking the mayor. in case the
franchise should be passed by the
supervisors, to submit IL to referen-
dunn vote of the people within 80 days,
as he would be authorized to do in the
charter.
Continuing. Zion recited the alleged
-jokers' In the ordinance. Among
other things, he said that by the old
franchise to the Valencia street line.
later merged in the United Railroads,
it was provided that only one other
company should ever be allowed to run
cars on the same street. whereas by
provisions OF the charter, any number
Of companies could be given the privi-.
iege of using the tracks for a distance
of not more than ten blocks. Will
cults move In asking for. the fran
chise, he said. as could be plainly SEEN
was to work in connection with the
United Railroads by grabbing the sec
'ond authorized franchise, and prevent
ing other companies from ever using
the street.
CALLS CALHOUN A PEST
It's whole purpose. as he and H. L.
Bienfeld outlined, was TO prevent COM
petition. Again, Zion said that the fran
chise usurped the right of having over
head trolley and feed wires in contra
diction to the charter; that it was so
worded that its books could only be ex-
amined by the supervisors to ascertain

Nature gets her laxatives from food.
If you ate plenty of fruit, coarse food
and green vegetables you would
get laxative enough.
But you eat fine food, and too much of
it. And you exercise too little.
So it is vital that you help the bowels
in another way.
But don't use salts or pill cathartics.
Never employ harsh physic.
Nature does all things gently. Give
her gentle help.
Cascarets are vegetable. They have
just the same effect as a laxative
food
They never gripe, so you know they
don't irritate.
They act in Natures way. Yet they
are just as effective as violence.
