BOTH SIDES SET UP
REGISTRATION SHOPS
WATERH0USE PARTY CHARGES
SHARP PRACTICE
Farley Partlsans Said to Have Got {
Corner on the Official Clerk.
Expert Imported from
Los Anaeles

PASADENA, March 6.-Claiming
that the Farley party had hogged the
only registration clerk in the city, the
Waterhouse parties today imported a
second from Los Angeles and set up an
opposition shop to that of the Farley
party, which is In the Brunswick, on
the south side of Colorado street. The
Waterhouse people have installed their
man in the Carlton, just across the
way.
They went to the county clerk yester-
day morning with a howl which could
be heard all over the court house, for
they had learned that w. 10. Cooley,
the official registration clerk of the
city, had been circulating a. petition for
one OF the Farley councilmen. He had
the registration list In his pocket, and
II is asserted that when he found d
man unregistered he listed him at once
and added the signature of the new
citizen to the Farley party's petition
Yesterday the Waterhouse faction
discovered, to its dismay, that the reg
istration office had located itself in the
Farley headquarters, chamber of COM
merce building, and the clerk wis reg
istering voters there, where they could
get at him.
Hence the protest made to the county
clerk, and a letter last night to Mr..
Cooley ordering him to find an Office
of his own and not affiliate himself
with any one party.
Still the Waterhouse people were not
satisfied. and as they offered to pay the
expenses of another clerk, the Los An
geles office shipped Walter Devereaux
OF that city out here today.
Both offices have been doing a rush.

the care with which votes are being
transferred and new registrations TAX

single point In its favor.

Eight basketball teams, including
some of the best players in Southern

cell Fitzgerald. just east of Duarte, for
q price said to be 100000.
Mr.. Baird came to Southern Califor-
MIA at the time of the cattlemen's con-
vention and was so struck with the
beauty OF the country that he deter
mined to make it his winter home in
the future.
The Fitzgerald ranch has long been
one of the beauty spots of this section,
and tourists are always taken to see
1t. About fifty acres are in oranges,
the remainder being in ornamental
grounds and lakes. There is big
cement house on the property and
stables, cottages for the employees and
q number of other buildings are scat
tered about the premises. The whole
ranch is made up of terraces rising
among the foothills from the main au-
tomobile road through Glendora.
Mr.. Fitzgerald, the former owner, is
now in London, England. He spent
over 100000 in developing the estate,
which is known as Mount Olive.

passed most of the day here flooding
the city with cards which read as
follows:
"Citizens! Merchants!
SAN PEDRO
Long Beach Wilmington,
THE FUTURE GREAT CITY.
Consolidate Do 1t Now"
The local nti-consolidation, anti
Improvement organization, which
styles itself the "citizens' committee .
disclaims any knowledge of the source
Of these cards, which are evidently in
tended to create sentiment in favor of
a union of the three harbor cities.
This combination was sprung here
some time ago, the disgruntled and
discredited senator from this district,
who has gone down to defeat with his
blocking amendments to the consolida-
ton act, was the instigator of this
scheme, but. like some others. it never
has received much support from the
voters.
ut is hard to realize said one mer-
chant today, "how the saloon crowd
and the corporation men can think of
making any kind of a combination
with a city like Long Beach, which is
recognized as a strict prohibition city.
These men seem to object to annexa-
ton with Los Angeles for fear of Sun
day closing, and now talk of going into
Long Beach, which would certainly
mean prohibition
at is the same old story, anything to
fog the issue. First 1t was borough
system. That has now been provided
in the charter amendments of Los An
geles. Then 1t was terminal rates.
This petitioning the Southern Pacific
soon proved to be political dodge.
Then when Savage saw he was in n
tight place he got our city council and
the trustees of Long Beach to indorse
his ttwo-thirds vote blocking amend
ment' to the consolidation bill.
MANY have stated they were not in
favor of dividing the city in order to
annex to Los Angeles, but would be in
favor of taking in the whole city; but
now that the consolidation bill has
passed they don't want to go to Los
Angeles, but talk about joining Long
Beach. They are no more sincere in
this dodge than they were In the 9TH
ers. I tell you those city employees and
corporation hirelings who will be hurt
when we get into Los Angeles are
willing to do anything to~fog the is
sue and confuse the honest voter but
I, for one, can see through the scheme,
and predict 1t will fall through like
Savage and all his schemes for the
bottling up of the harbor have fallen
through
This is but sample of the talk heard
on the street today, but the average
voter here who has no personal ak
to grind and is therefore free to see
the Unreasonable benefit which will
result when the union with Los An
geles is effected has considered all
these things long ago. He was willing
to divide the city in order to get the
benefits, and now that the way is clear
to unite the whole city with Los An
geles he is even more ready to vote for
consolidation.
