There is no pretense of anything
else. 1t does not even make be-
lieve to take the peoples side. If
there's a railroad to be defended
union to be fought, capitalistic
job of any kind to be pulled off,
depend upon it the Los Angeles
Times is on the Job. 1t is sort
of New York Sun of the Pacific
coast, with something of the Sun S
ability, more than the Suns pros
perity, and almost the Suns
vindictive spleen against every
thing and every person inspired
by anything more laudable than a
corporations dollar.
I suppose the capitalistic ele-
ment voiced by papers like the
Los Angeles Times, is in mortal
dread of an uprising of the peo-
pie in Mexico. That is why they
are so sensitive. And I Judge
there are reasons for their alarm.
If had money in a Mexican pro-
ject of any kind l would take this
opportunity to pull it out. The
revolution may be delayed, but 1t
is bound to come, and the delay
cannot be for long. There are
omnibus sputterings at the safety
valve, and it will not be long now
before the old thing let's go. This
business of falling Mexican patri-
OTIS and breaking up their "jun-
tas" is only putting a niger boy"
on the safety valve.
And I'll bet, when she does let
go, a piece of scrap iron will go
through the pages of the Los An
geles Times. Sincerely,
RATH.

the Republican convention of Livingston County.
Mr.. Wadsworth has served five terms in the As
senably and has been Speaker for four terms.
In n speech following his denomination, he eN-
planned his opposition 10 the Hinman-Green direct
nominations bill. on the ground that it would ag-
gravate boss rule. lie also objected 20 the commit
tee provision. on the ground that few members
from city districts would outvote many others from
districts less thckly populated.
The placing Of this unlimited power in the
hands Of few" said Mr.. Wadsworth, would
result in professional politicians approaching them,
involving almost certainly the making Of deals and
contingent promises Of doubtful character. Ny
opinion is not uttered as a defiance 10 any man or
set Of men. Ny intention is not 10 criticise any
man. but the measure. Ny opinion has resulted
ifseIr and from nv knowledge of the practical
working of politics and the habits OF voters.
