WILL FILL PLACES
ON Ills RETURN HOME
MANY OFFICES VACANT AS
RESULT OF ELECTION
Lose One Member Each Because
of Graduation to City
Council

Although there are several vacancies
he has to fill and a number of posi-
tions that will be vacant just as soon
as it sOaks into the brains Of some of
the holders of the positions that the
entire administration is good govern
ment and no longer under Southern
Pacific dominance, Mayor Alexander
stated yesterday that he would not
make any appointments until he re-
turned from his visit to Redlands.
The election of J. j. Andrews to the
council makes a vacancy in the police
commission, and the proper filling of
this is one of the most difficult tasks
in this direction the mayor has. As
the present police commission has
worked i'm harmony there is not likely
to be any change If the commissioners
will consent to accept reappointment
It may be difficult to convince some
Of them to retain their places, as the
long night sessions are not agreeable
and only a full realization Of their duty
TO the city has induced them to stay
in their disagreeable office
In the fire commission there is
vacancy by reason Of the election Of
Martin Betkouski to the council and
the same is true of the park commits
sion, because Richmond Plant has
moved from the commission room to
the council chamber.

SAN PEDRO CITIZENS
REJOICING OVER BIG
VICTORY OF ALEXANDER

SAN PEDRO. Dec. 9.--General salts
faction prevails here over the election
OF the engine Good Government ticket.
The majority of 1O2 votes given Mayor
Alexander in the four precincts form
erly comprising San Pedro is recog-
nized as a grand victory here. San
Pedro had been claimed for Smith, and
it was only the hard work of the San
Pedro Good Government club that
rolled up the majority.
The fact that 923 votes were cast as
against 953 on the consolidation cleo
tion shows that the entire vote was
gotten out. The Smith forces were sur
prised at the showing made by the
Alexander following. In precinct 1872
359 votes were polled, Alexander receiV-
ing a majority of eighty.
Already the people are talking about
the bond election in February. Since
consolidation many new voters have
moved into San Pedro and these are
also enthusiastic for the harbor bond
election. a registration clerk is still
here and an effort viii be made to
have every man entitled to vote regis
tered in time.
Although it is hard to believe that
any man living in San Pedro can vote
against the proposed $1,000 900 bond is
sue. this possibility may develop, and
already steps are being taken to keep
the issue before the people and to get
out the full vote when the election day
comes.

.EDELMAN SURPRISES
MAYOR BY RESIGNING
DR.. HAYNES MAY SERVE ON
COMMISSION
Civil Service Board Members Say
They Will Not Quit Office
Until Their Terms
Are Up

After serving nearly eight years on
the civil service commission DR.. D. w.
Edelman yesterday rendered his resig-
nation as a commissioner to Mayor Al
exander to take effect at once.
The action of Dr. Edelman was sur
prise to his colleagues on the commits
sion. w. Ona Morton declared he had
no intention Of following the example,
and expected to retain his place on the
commission until his term expires,
February 9, 1911. D. II. Laubersheimer
had not heard of DR.. Edelman's action,
but declared he had no intention of re-
signing NJ. *. Young's term expires
February 9, 1910, and he will probably
hold his position until that date.
When Mayor Alexander first took Of
flee he expressed a desire for the resig-
nation of DR.. Edelman and Mr.. Young
because he knew they were not in SYM
pathy with his administration. They
had assisted Harper in the recall and
had expressed opposition to Alexander,
but refused to resign their positions on
the civil service commission.
1t is believed DIR. John r. Haynes vii
be appointed to succeed DIR. Edelman.
DR. Haynes is an enthusiast on the
question of civil service, and was a
member of the civil service commission
from the time it was organized until
February of the present year when
his term expired, and Harper appointed
G. l. Cochrane as his successor. Dr..
HAYNES also is a strong supporter Of
good government and thoroughly i'm
sympathy with the new administration.

PRAISES HONEST VOTERS
FOR GOING TO THE POLLS
AND CRUSHING MACHINE

Editor Herald: 1t is difficult for Us
who are in the thick of the fight to
realize the real significance of the
events Of the past few days, weeks and
months Los Angeles has not only
won a victory which means more than
words can express for our own city,
but which will have a vast influence
in the encouragement of the forces
which stand for clean politics and good
government all over the country. After
all these years, through the supreme
effort of strong and true men in the
face of the bitterest animosty, the
people of this city found themselves
solidly lined up on straight issues.
it was the clean, honest, straightfOr-
ward and independent voters on the
one side. the political grafters, the pO-
Itcal slaves, the corrupting influences
on the other. With supreme thankful
ness the right has won. For the first
time in many years if ever our city
government will open up the first of
next January with men at the head
uf affairs who are not only above re-
prnaCh so far a s their personal life,
Intelligence and intentions are con-
cerned, but men who have mada no
pledges other than to give Los Angeles
the best possible government i'm tho
interests of all the people. They wear
no collars but their own.
Los Angeles has conferred an un-
speakIhle honor upon herself not only
in the character of the men who have
been chosen, from the mayor down
but also because there is enough hor-
esty and courage in the city to con
sign to what we trust may be an un-
ending political oblivion some who have
held Office i'm the past
One thing has been demonstrated in
the face of tremendous odds, and this
is that there are more good people in
Los Angeles than bad ones. more
strong, fair honest and independent
men than of the other class and that
the time has gone forever when good
men can longer be hoodwinked and
deceived and corrupted under the spell
of loyalty to a party name. 1t has been
demonstrated clearly at last that there
are really but two parties in Los An
geles, whatever names are used and
these two parties are good govern
ment" and bad government" The
good government forces have just won
their first victory. They will stay by
the situation. The people win be dealt
with fairly and honestly and under
the leadership Of true and honest mon
Los Angeles will vindicate its claim to
be the best and most beautiful city in
the world. c. c. PIERCE
