Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-07

dered the city more efficient service
than any man who has ever held the
position of city treasurer. In the last
year Capt Hance has made four trips
to New York, saving the city something
like $50,0 i'm the matter of taking the
Owens river bonds to the east. Again,
Capt. Hance has enriched the city by
over 100000 through his careful and
judicious lending of city funds. Had
Capt. Hance desired to do so, he might
have sent the bonds to New York by
express or through the banks, thus
costing the city a great sum. He
might also have failed to do his duty
by refusing to make loans of city
funds, claiming any of hundred rea-
sons for his laXity. Had he done these
things he would have earned the eter-
nal gratitude of the machine. But he
is not a machine man. He believes that
public office is a trust which no man
should not cherish lie is a good gov
ernment man first, last and all the
time. A machine man is running
against him for the doubtful honor of
having his name appear upon the
ballot.
Tribute to Mallard
Walter Mallard Is another man of
high type. AIushet gave up the possi-
bility of reelection to obtain defeat in
the primaries. Mallard will conduct
the office as it never has been con-
Quoted before. He is an experienced
man and knows right from wrong. Ho
will never allow a machine grab of
public funds to get by him.
Better not be too sure than to be
sorry, so don't forget to vote for all
the members of the present school
board. These men are Dozier, Frank.
Quinn, Page, Scott, Steddom and
Stilson.

of the absolute certainties Of today's
election is the reelection of the pres
ent school board. Nothing is certain
in an election until after the votes are
counted. A little too much confidence
may cause many persons to fail to cast
their ballots for the school directors.
1t is not only reelection of the pres
ent school board that is desired. The
majority these men receive today
should be so large that it will be a
rebuke TO those interests which have
opposed the development of the great
school system of Los Angeles The
seven men now on the school board
have rendered faithful service to the
city and have conducted the school
affairs in such a manner that reproach
cannot be made. They should be elect
ed with an overwhelming majority. To
do this 1t is necessary to vote, The
stay-at-home will bring Indignation
upon himself IT any OF these men Iail
of overwhelming election.
In all the history of Los Angeles
there never were nine better qualified
men for the office than the nine Good
Government candidates for city coun-
ell. Each of the candidates is high
class capable, honest and n believer
I'm good government. Rarely do SUCH
men as Judge Works and William j.
Washburn ask the people to make
them councilmen. But there are some
men in Los Angeles who consider their
duty to their fellow citizens greater
than private gain. Hence, the nine
Good Government councilmanic candi-
dates. When the roll is called after
January l and Andrews. Betkouski,
Gregory, Lusk, O'Brien, Plant, Wash
burn, Williams and Works answer to
their names, there will be no need of
fear on the part of Angelenos, that
river bed grabs and street steals will
get a single AYE"
