DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES

MANY independent Republicans
VH as well as all Democrats wish to
AL see Judge Albert Lee Stephens
elected to a superior judgeship. This
result can be brought about il voters
will take note it is not necessary to
mark four superior judges on their ball
lots. The words "Vote for Four
printed on the ballot are not COM
mand. and voters who wish to make
certain of the election of Judge steph-
ems may vote for him solely. Judge
stephens is well fitted for the impor-
tant office for which he is a candidate.
Moreover, it Is highly desirable that
the Democracy should be represented
on the superior bench.
If the Democrats support him solidly.
Frank B. frey, candidate for state
senator for the Thirty-fifth senatorial
district, should be elected. He is a
resident of the city of Pomona, and at
the present time is the Democratic
mayor of that city.
When Mayor frey was Democratic
candidate for the assembly in 1909
against w. A. tombstone of San Dimas
he ran over 1000 ahead of mis- ticket in
Pomona, and had a majority in that
Republican city. In the election he cut
the Republican majority OF 1000 down
to about $50.
Messrs. George P. Cary, ]. S. Allison.
Frank L. Hilton, Charles J. Creller, G.
c. Martin, John w. Satterwhite, B. F.
Hard, M. G. Yoakum and S. A. Wald-
ron are the Democratic candidates for
assembly. They are good, honest,
square-deal men with excellent records,
and are opposed by candidates whom
independent Republicans as we'll as
Democrats should take delight in ''vot-
ing down and out" One of the ma
chine candidates for the assembly is
P. A. Stanton, a politician who takes
his orders from the machine bosses,
who is a programer in every political
sense of the word. and in the legisla-
ture represented not his district, but
his political makers. Another is
Transue, well known as Parker's floor
leader in the assembly, a man through
his long experience probably able to
accomplish more for the railroad than
any other Transue has never failed to
let it be known he is organization"
By supporting the Democratic candi-
dates for assembly, Democratic and in
dependent Republican voters will give
the railroad push" a setback and Jolt
the railroad machine, and Democrats
and Republicans alike should vote for
H. j. Woollacott, Frank D. Haddock
and Anthony Schwamm, Democratic
candidates for the board of supervisors.
From the ''Solid Three" this community
has learned a lesson which II has taken
to heart. We do not think any self
respecting citizen wishes to see i'm
portant public affairs menaced by any
possibility of another "Solid Three" or
any other combination. The one way
in which to make It absolutely certain
there can be no "Solid Three" nom
sense on the board is to vote for the
Democratic candidates, who most as
suredly should be elected if voters will
have a regard for the best interests of
this city, of Los Angeles county, and
of Southern California, rather than for
mere partisanship.
Jud Rush, candidate for congressman,
has done some excellent campaign work
both for the national and local ticket.
He is entirely Independent of any kind
of machine influences, and in congress
would represent the interests OF the
people and not of a corporation. On
the election of Jud Rush and others like
him depends to great extent the
progress of California. We must exer-
else rigid discrimination in. the selec-
ton of our law makers, both local and
national. We must not give or sur
render any part of the birth right of
this community to the control Of men
who sell it for a mess of pottage. If
you wish to do your duty periodically
remember this is Democracy's year.
Democracy is pledged to good govern
ment, national and local. Voters
should give it the opportunity of put
ting it's promises, intentions and plans
into execution. Vote the Democratic
ticket from top to bottom. Go to the
polls early, and after you have voted
devote the rest of the day to getting
out the Democratic vote. Visit or tele-
phone to every Democrat or indepen-
dent Republican of your acquaintance.
Tell him man who does not vote this
year is negligent of his duty. Plain
language is sometimes the best. If
your friend is a sensible man he will not
take offense, but will get out and vote.
Hard work on the part of Democrats
will result in the greatest Democratic
victory of modern times. Let us all
WORK.
