Following a careful compilation of the
merits of every candidate for office the
Municipal league yesterday morning is
sued the following statement to its
members regarding the qualifications OF
the men and women whose names ap-
pear on the primary nominating elec-
tion ballot: ooo
Los Angeles, Nov. ., 1909.
To the Members of the Municipal
League:
In order to assist any members OF

committee tenders this statement oi

votes.
Elections for council being at large
for the whole city, there is little or nc
chance for the election of men whu
have had no experience in public life,
or who have no kind of business prom
fnence or whose names have never
been before the public; so there is no
reason why space should be devoted to
such, although many of these are no
doubt estimable citizens. All such, to-
gether with those who have withdrawn
from the contest are mentioned in the
list merely by name and address, and
with the words, "See Introductory
statement"
With respect to the remainder of the
list there is no attempt on the part OF
the league committee to select and
recommend any ticket or group of
nine nominees. The report does prac-
tically recommend several whose ac-
tivity and good work in the community
is a matter of history-not of opinion;
and ii does also specifically disapprove
several, whose record in public life dis
qualities them, In the judgment of the
committee. for the position they seek.
