best man possible should be enlisted TO
conduct its affairs.
Mayor Alexander has been tried
ont and has made good Why should
we make any change at this time?
Il am a stoCkholder in several large
corporations, and in voting for the
officers of these companies | do not
interest myself in their religious or
political beliefs. The only question *.
Are they the proper men to conduct
the business Of the company" This in
a nutshell, is the question before us.
In my judgment Mayor Alexander is
the man best equipped to further tho
interests of this big corporation-the
city of Los Angeles

dealers, says:
ION account of my personal regards
/ for Mr.. Parish and my satisfactory
! business experience with him | hoped
| to see him nominated for mayor at the
recent primary. Since he is out of the
race there is no question in my NINA
as to who should be supported.
THE Good Government organization
represents my ideas. and l will use my
influence in aiding the election OF
George Alexander, who has proven him
self capable and efficient, with indi-
Viduality enough TO be free from the

Il wish to make clear to my German

George Alexander has been called a
'long-hair.' and it has been said that
under his administration we would
have a prohibition town. 1t has not
been such since Alexander has been
mayor, and he has said that if re-
elected he will continue his present
policies, | have become convinced
that he is just as liberal in his atti-

violating his oath of office. lie Is not
narrow, but he will not stand for IL
legitimate business or violation of law,
either in the liquor business or any

the following statement:
Several weeks ago | handed IN my
resignation as a member of the Lib
eral Alliance. having discovered, TO my
regret, that this organization, instead
of working for the real commercial IN
terests of our city, was, on the con-
trary, seriously damaging the same.
Before my resignation, like a great
MANY others, was convinced that the
MAYOR. George Alexander, was illiberal.
Since then l have learned that my
opinions of the attitude of this candi-
date were entirely misconceiVed. | am
now convinced that Mr. Alexander is
as liberal as the requirements of the
law permit him to be in his capacity
as mayor, and that all that has been
said against him by the Liberal AL
lance and similar organizations Is
simply political calumny.
eft is for these reasons that after
mature reflection, I have ranged my
self under the banner of George Alex
ander, and / am working for the sue
cess of his election. | am, furthermore,
convinced that no voter will ever re-
gret having cast his ballot for him
