II believe that no man is able or
good enough to take the place of anoth-
er man that is making good; that prin-
Ciple should never be sacrificed for
principal; that a square deal is only
circle of justice to all, rich and poor,
famous or unknown; that no legisla
ton should be made without a thought
of the effect on every child in the city;
that the Los Angeles way a combina-
tion of Chicagos energy and life, New
York's steady and persistent greatness
and Cleveland's civic pride, should spur
to renewed activity every citizen to aid
the councilman in working for a better
city.
These principles are given not alone
to aid in my election, but that they
may constitute my policy in the service
of the people and help me to accom-
plish the greatest good for the greatest
number I stand for good government,
together with thousands of others; am
member of that organization, and if,
after knowing my principles, and be-
lieving in my ability, you still desire
my candidacy by filing the petition
with the city clerk, I will make the
fight, and assure you that I will prove
all questions before cast my vote, and
the result will be based on the policy
outlined above"

ART FESTIVAL
IS SUGGESTED
GAMUT CLUB HAS PLAN FOR
ADDING TO CIVIC BEAUTY
WOULD KEEP PACEWlTH GROWTH
IN LINES WORTH WHILE
Consolidation, Harbor and Great Out
look for the Future Seem to
Favor Latest Pro-
posal
BY VI. y. BRIDGHAM

Directly traceable to that enthusi-
astic body of good fellows. the Gamut
club. but so far-reaching and compre-
hensive, so big and splendid in its sig
nificance that even Greater Los An
geles itself need not disdain to farther
the project, comes a suggestion that,
since our business interests have so
sturdily and successfully worked to Sc
cure consolidation, it is time for the art
forces of the city to combine and inau-
gurate an annual celebration in COM
memoration of the event. and thus
compel recognition as legitimate fac
tor in the development of this big
scheme.
An annual festival, that shall be
made perpetual and commensurate
with the size of our projected Greater
Los Angeles should take distinctive
art form, such as a historic pageant,
a water festival or a big musical event
that shall include all choral Organiza-
tions and orchestras in the city and
bring in people from all surrounding
sections.
While Los Angeles can point with
pride to many costly private residences
set in the midst of beautiful grounds.
while the business section of the city
daily is growing in Importance and val
uation, and while we have at our very
doors the blue sky, the clear. golden
light and the fair winds of the land
of hearts desire, our fair city is entire
ly devoid of beautiful art objects. the
legitimate possession of the artistic
people.
This annual enterprise, If properly
conducted, would result in profits that
should be devoted to the purchase of
permanent works of art owned by the
municipality, and Los Angeles would
own, in time, a series of fountains,
bridges and beautiful columns all COM
memorating the great day which
brought assurance of a magnificent city
fOreordained to become the city beau
tiful of the golden west and the
crowned queen of the Pacific.
We of this generation should build so
wisely this new city of our dreams that
our children's children shall glory in
the work of their fathers. that made
possible the magnificent City of the
Angels of 1860.
Such a project should be entered into
with no idea of private gain or loss,
but wholly in a spirit of civic pride
and the thought that we are building
the art center of the new world which
shall eclipse the fame and glory of
ancient Greece and Rome. Shall we be
as big artistically as We have proved
ourselves commercially-shall we take
hold together and work for not only a
greater city, a better city, but also a
beautiful city of Los Angeles?

COUNCIL RACE
REAL ESTATE DEALER GIVES
OUTLINE OF IDEALS
URGES DEVELOPMENT OF THE
GREATER LOS ANGELES
Woman Suffrage and Establishment of
Public Utilities Commission to
Develop Power Also
Commended

In announcing his candidacy for the
common council at the coming munich
pal election, John T. Pope, real estate
dealer living at 64OO Roble avenue,
comes out squarely with the platform
upon which he will seek the suffrage
of the voters of Los Angeles.
His platform is not clouded in doubt
or speculation, and he comes out
strongly for woman suffrage extension
of the public park system, the eXten-
sion and development of Greater Los
Angeles, consolidation OF civic and
county offices. and is in favor of every
act of legislation that will make Los
Angeles the great seaport city Of the
west, believing firmly in the motto that
principle never should be sacrificed for
principal" His letter of acceptance
follows:

should govern a councilman in the
proper discharge of his duties, assuring
you whatever the result | win always
strice, as I have in the past, to aid in
my humble way the forces that go for
making good, and advancing the inter-
ests of the greatest city ON the Pacific
coast.
Outlines His Campaign
"I believe in and will work for:
"First-The Greater Los Angeles, not
only as to area, but for good govern
ment, artistic construction, industrial
activity.
"Second-The rapid completion Of the
Owens river aquedUct not alone for it's
great water supply, but that the power
developed may be used by the city,
under its direct supervision, for the
payment of the bonds and interest.
"Third-For the immediate develop
ment of the great harbor, so that the
commerce Of the world may enter the
Angel Gate. To accomplish this bonds
of ten million dollars should be voted,
that improvements may be made by
the city to fulfill pledges given to Will
mington and San Pedro. To this end
the harbor commission should be re-
tained to help supervise and aid in
these improvements.
"Fourth-The consolidation of city
and county offices and the establish
ment of a civic center for the economy
and convenience of the entire city.
"Fifth-For a greater park and bou-
levard system, in which the entire city
should constitute an assessment dis
trict for in beautifying the arroyo,
hillside drives river bed and sandy
plains the benefit will be to the entire
community. To this end the city should
adopt the Robinson or some other care
fully prepared plan, that year by year

began have been enormous - the buy

immense reserve warehouse stock is be-

The opportunity, thus, for satisfactory
selections and to secure specially note
worthy values becomes even more ad-
vantageous as the Clearance progresses.
And when the splendid character of this
furniture is considered-its reliable quail

apparent that no such inducements can
be found elsewhere.

and therefore less inclined to steal,"
was the verdict Of one postmaster
Here, however, a woman clerk gets

government offices and the big st. Pc

are quite as we'll paid as the men and
some women doctors take higher fees
than their male colleagues. The Rus

type. She goes in for advanced poll
tics and has as a rule a talkative hus-
band, whom she keeps as we'll as a
large family. She educates her child
rem we'll, though rather impractically.
Her house is gloriously untidy and all
the meals are movable feasts. But
nobody minds and she herself is full
Of life and good spirits. Her husband
admires her immensely and spends
most of his time in restaurants and
cafes. She works like the proverbial
horse and never has time to dress her
self properly.
And these women live In country
where 200 years ago they were as Sc
cluded as the Turkish ladies Of today.
This was due of course to the Tartar
influence. But customs die hard, even
when the reasons behind them have
long since been forgotten. Today no
Russian peasant woman would dream
of going without having a handker-
chief closely tied around her head

Turning OFF the Gas.-At a frater-
nal banquet in Washington one Of the
speakers, getting back at the toast
master, a clergyman, for some Of his
witticisms, told the following:
At a church service conducted by
the POSTMASTER, a lady in the congre-
cation suddenly remembered that she
had left her dinner, a roast, in the
stove at home and had forgotten to
turn down the gas. In her anxiety
about her Sunday dinner she hastily
wrote a note and handed it to her hus-
band, a deacon, then engaged in taking
up the collection. Mistakins the per-
sonal note for a church notice, the
deacon carried it up and handed 1t to
the minister, who among other no
tices, read:
60 Immediately home and turn of
the gas"
When the laughter had subsided a
member of the banqueting party arose
and said: II would like to suggest that
the lady got her note wrong end fore
most. Sending 1t up to the minister
she probably meant to say: Turn
off the gas Immediately and go home

recent convention Of the advertising
men brought together people from all

benefit resulting from a meeting like
that is the rubbing of elbows and get

cialism disappear, and until everybody
understands everybody else better
there will always be more or less of

some work to be done along this line,

Two other assistants were pressed

as the boy called the articles of. He
wanted all kinds Of things, and he
asked the price Of each article as he
went along, making note Of 1t on his

One Of the shopmen called out the
price, and the boy continued, in his
