Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-04


mittee of the Good Government organ
ization, "the Good Government organ
ization cannot recommend to the Vot-
ers of Los Angeles the three council-
men who are asking for reelection.
There are, however, a number of eN-
cellent candidates for council from
which the voters will no doubt exer-
else an intelligent choice. The Good
Government organization, after giving
the matter very careful consideration
determined not to indorse candidates
for council"
Candidates who know not where to
lay their cards have an unusual OPP
portunity tonight at the chamber of
commerce. where the Federated I'M
provement association will meet to
listen to any who may want to talk
about their candidacy or other matters,
material or lmmateriaL The associa-
ton requests that candidates who at
tend come prepared to answer ques-
tions about the proposed improvement
of the. river bed.
Ernest Mckenzie is loud for the
election of Candidate Mushet and is
said to be authority for the statement
that Nathan Cole, jr., formerly of Los
Angeles but now registered from Visa
liza, is likewise a Mushet supporter and
is contributing money for the Mushet
cause. Mr.. Cole came down from San
Francisco to observe the workings of
a direct primary plan, which. however,
he is not in favor of establishing as a
permanent proposition in Visalia
1t has developed that Dick Ferris has
been approached several times with
the request TO become a candidate for
mayor and that each time he refused
the crown. what, me be mayor?" Mr.
Ferris is said to have snorted DO
you see me coming down at o'clock
in the morning and signing my name
1901 times a day? Not in a million
years-the balloon game for mine. It's
safer any way you look at 1t. And be-
sides they tell me one of the commits
sions meets on fight night"
The west end lately annexed to the
city is getting in line with the Good
Government organization. for which
several clubs are organizing this week
with good membership lists in the new
precincts.
l. W C. Mushet, escorted by r. V.
Meier. general manager of the Liberal
alliance, visited the colony of French
citizens. In Mr., Meier's best German
and Mr.. Mushet's broadest Scotch
| leading French citizens were told IL
election de w. c. Mushet pour maire
de Los Angeles est la principale af-
| faire de la presente campagne." The
French vote is divided between Alex
ander and Smith.
Meetings win be held for Pico
| Heights voters every night except Sun
day up to election day at Good Gov
ernment headquarters at 1858 West
Pico street. City Attorney Hewitt,
| Rev. Dana Bartlett, r. NJ. Lusk. Ed
ward A. Regan, Haines w. Reed and
others have agreed to speak, and live
| ly meetings are planned by the COM
mittee in charge.
The headquarters of the Good Gov
ernment organization at 204 Germain
! building. 224 South Spring street, are
| now kept open evenings to accommo-
date precinct workers and others who
cannot call in the daytime.
Fred Spring, the one-time Socialist
agitator, is the only union labor leader
to swallow the Times and fall in be-
hind Smith, for which he is slated for
city hall job in case the unexpected
happens. Stanley Wilson is at present
supporting Mushet. The common, or
thinking, labor vote is very much else
where as to the mayoralty.
The estimates at Republican machine
headquarters are that Barney Healy
will lead the rump convention ticket
He has done everything the machine
has asked and Is considered the ideal
straight Republican candidate now be-
fore the people. RumOrS have been
started in the Eighth ward that he will
be given big vote as a sort of groom
ing for the mayoralty in the future,
and for that reason traders" who
have been affecting the other candi-
dates worse than feas have been
warned to keep away from Barney.
A call has been sent out to every
Christian Endeavor society in the city
to send at least one delegate and as
many more as possible to the political
meeting of the local union at the First
Christian church, Eleventh and Hope
streets, Saturday evening.
Councilman Henry Lyons constitu-
ents on the east side of Main street
are making it hot for him because he
forgot his own neighbrohood and voted
to give fire alarm boxes to the other
side of the city. They are keeping
him busy answering pointed questions.
81 was so placed that l couldn't
help it," is Mr.. Lyons response.
What we want is councilman who
won't place himself that way-there
are plenty of candidates." said one of
his friends yesterday. I'VE need fire
alarm boxes in our neighborhood, and
I think O'Brien can get them.''
