SAN PEDRO TO VOTE
WITH DlLIGENT CARE
HARB0R SUBURB TO CHOOSE
CAPABLE OFFICIALS
Seaport Section of Los Angeles Will
Support Mayor Alexander and
Men of Integrity for
Counclmen

SAN PEDRO, Oct. 24.-Probably no
section of the Consolidated city, it is
said, will exercise more care in the Sc
lection of men for the various civic
offices November 10 than the voters of
the harbor section. The educational
campaign which resulted in bringing
forth such a tremendous vote for the
merger August u showed the people
here had seen the results of various
forms of government and were anxious
for a change. That the new order Of
things which has resulted so bene-
ficially for the people of this section
should be continued there seems to be
no doubt, and that the administration
as conducted by Mayor Alexander Will
continue these conditions is the belief
of the people of this section.
The development of the harbor, the
fulillment of the pledges of the con-
solidation committee, which had the
Endorsement of the city council, and
the development of power from Owens
river are some of the great responsible
tiles for the coming city officials, and
with the burden resting as it does so
heavily on the people realize that with
him at the head of affairs and honost
men in the council San Pedro Will
certainly receive a square deal
machine are passing out cards with
the Republican machine list of names
for the various offices thereon. Asked
who these men are who are posing as
the Grand Old Party" nominees for
the council the distributor pointed
with pride to the names of Barney
Healy, Henry Lyon and H. H. Yonkin,
These men are known here, and 1t is
a safe prediction will receive the solid
vote of the saloon following, which
will include some of those who stand
for the Grand Old Party and some
who vote for other parties.
The distributor, when asked who the
six others recommended are, said:
We'll, there is Mcconnell, he is from
our ward
But I thought the councilmen were
to be elected at large" said the ques-
TONER
Forget it," said the Republican.
Don't you see each ward is represent
ed on this card, and as we are part
of the Fifth ward we will be represent
ed by this man Mcconnell"
He was unable to say anything about
the other five names for councilmen,
probably never having heard of them
or much less never having met them,
but he was ready to invite his fellow
CllZenS TO NOl6 lOI tie olcllC W MN iAeh-
been properly prepared in convention
assembled"
Aside from the 227 voters of San Pc
dro who voted straight against con-
solidation with Los Angeles the rest
of the voters will closely follow the
biography Of the various candidates
proposed for the various offices.
Years Of Southern Pacific and saloon
rule in San Pedro has made the citi-
zenship look well to the personnel or
their new public servants, and slight
intimation that the collar or the beer
mug is in the vicinity of the candidate
will queer him in the minds of those
who August II threw off the yoke OF
allegiance to the Southern Pacific and
the saloon and became a free people.
The prediction is made that Novem-
Der 10 a vote for good government by
good men will be reached in this por-
ton Of the consolidated city which
will astonish the public as the vote of
August 70 amazed those who believed
the seaport city could not awake from
the lethargy of years and dared not
call it's soul its own.
