didacy of DR.. Jones for mayor, and in
tends to conduct a house to mouse can
vass. other precincts are belng or
| ganized by DR.. Jones' campaign com
mittee,
DR. SiIas A. Austin announced his de-
| termination to make the race for the
council despite the fact that the rump
convention switched at the last mo-
ment and indorsed his opponent He
saws residents of the eastern section
of the second ward, which has never
| had a Republican recognition in the
council, will take part in his campaign.
! Secretary Frank Dominguez of the
/ I,atin-American league has arranged
| Smith meeting under the auspices OF
/ the league at italian hall, $40 North
/ Main street, october 2. Speeches will
/ be made in four languages, and it is
estimated that even that number will
| be inadequate to explain away the
| frost of the outlaw convention.
| An effort was made to secure a speech
| from George A. Smith, but he has de-
clined. Il shall not make speech in
this campaign he said yesterday, re-
iterating the stand taken when he an
nounced his candidacy Since the out
law convention indorsed him, Uncle
George Smith feels less like speaking
than ever.
A Parish meeting will be held in
Highland Park Wednesday night, at
Woods hall, Sill Pasadena avenue. In
vitations will be sent to voters of the
first twelve precincts.
1t is gossip about Smith headquarters
that Erwin Dingle is to be made chief
of police should Mr. Smith happen to
get in as mayor. Mr.. Dingle, however,
has not yet purchased his gold star.
Col. Robert W. Richardson, the
chairman of Thursday nights conven-
tion, is an experienced delegate to mu-
nicipal, state and national conventions.
He has served in several of the ma
tional conventions Of the Republican
party as a delegate from Nebraska and
was prominent in the politics of that
state for many years.
Mr. Richardson was born in Ken
lucky and is so years old. Before COM
ing to Los Angeles six years ago he
was a resident of Omaha, where he
was noted as the most successful po-
litical opponent in debating with Will
liam ]. Bryan. He was sent as ma
tional convention delegate from Ne
braska five times. In addition to his
political work Col Richardson has
taken a prominent part in the Nation
al Highway Improvement association
and the National Good Roads associa-
tion. He is a member of the law firm
Of Richardson & Martin.
"Mr Mushet wants neither the in
dorsenent of the Republican party nor
the Good Government organization"
said w. J. Palethorpe, secretary of the
NT1feIat on
day. He considers both outside the
direct primary law I have watched
both very carefully, and have no hes
itation in saying that of the two the
Good Government organization is the
better organized and handled and the
more energetic OF the two.
But the Mushet campaign will not
tie up with any other organization than
that of the business men who are be-
hind him already. We have all the
leading business men now, and they
will not only indorse Mr.. Mushet, but
will be found working for him"
The Mushet evening organ intimated
that the failure of the rump convention |
to indorse the school board was due
to the efforts of the many Mushet men
in the convention. Mr. Palethorpe |
contradicted this statement and said !
that no Mushet men were at the out
law convention, stating that if that
We're the case he would know about it.
John W. Kemp Of the Hundredth
precinct was one of the many men
at the rump convention Thursday
night who were disgusted by what
they saw. He watched one man cast |
the votes on assessor and auditor for
precincts from the Forty sixth to the |
One Hundred and Sixth inclusive, /
which included his own.
When asked by Mr.. Kemp what his /
name was the man refused to tell, but |
inquiry proved that he is resident of /
the Thirteenth precinct. This incident |
was typical of the manner in which |
the convention which set at defiance |
the city charter was carried through.
The official name of the NIushet cam |
paign is the 'Mushet Mayoralty or
ganization.' 1t has an office in room |
204 Copp building. Mr. Mushet's pri- |
vate campaign office on the same floor |
has a sign with FIRE ESCAPE" in |
big, red letters on the doors and an .
alarm bell to warn him that they who |
seek the coin are approaching.
Bascom A. Stephens spoke at 1O35 |
Sunset boulevard last night before the |
Eighteenth Precinct club of the Good |
Government organization on Political |
Machines" He gave a review of the |
work Of the Southern Pacific political /
organization, showing it's ramilcations |
in transportation, trade, manufactur- /
ing, journalism and banking. and |
urged that every qualified voter par
ticipate in the primary nominating |
election.
