| kkNTENER before in the history of
v Los Angeles were nine men
~ better qualified for public duty
than the nine candidates indorsed and
supported by the Good Government

referred are Josias j. Andrews, Martin
F. Betkouski. Miles S. Gregory, Robert
M. Lusk, II. L. O'Brien, Richmond
Plant, William j. Washburn, George
Williams and John ID. Works. Each
of these men has made a record for
doing things in Los Angeles. Each is
man capable of earning many times
what he will receive as councilman,
but he is willing to give up private
gain for public good, the spirit which
actuates every candidate on the Good
Government ticket.
Josias J. Andrews is a retired
capitalist and has thousands Of SSsends
who swear by him because of his fair
dealing and general business probity.
Martin Betkouski is engaged In man

Democrat in national affairs, but

years ago because of the iniquity of
bossism.
Miles S. Gregory is a real estate
operator and although still a young
man, has been remarkably successful.
He will give up his private business
when elected to the citv council, and
will devote his whole time and atten-
tion to looking after the city's busi-
ness.
judge Lusk has held numerous pub
lie offices, among them superior court
Judge, member of the legislature, dis
trict attorney and mayor In all his
public life he has never been criti-
cized for any unjust or ill-advised act.
He is the kind of man that makes
heavy councimanic timber.
Richmond Plant is in financial
position to give up all his time to the
city's business. He has made an en-
viable name for himself. being a man
of superior mental attainments and
exceptional business acumen.
T. L. O'Brien is a self-made man
who has made good He is engaged
in the real estate business and has
done more for the Improvement of the
Sixth ward than any other man living
in that section. He is believer in
"I.os Angeles, the City Beautiful"
William ]. Washburn needs no in
PRODUCTION to Los Angeles, He is
heavyweight in financial circles. His
record as a member of the school
board is enough to make any man
proud, and any city proud of the
man.

Of the state supreme court and
1910 900 year man." He is vitallv in
terested in civic matters and is willing
to give his time for practically no
compensation.
George Williams is grocer who
has lived for years in the University
district. He has the confidence and
respect of all who know him and is
certain to retain that opinion as
councilman. He is peculiarly well
fitted for a CITY father. as he knsws
we'll the needs of the entire CITY. hav-
ing been a student Of municipal ar
fairs for years. with no thought Of
holding office.
The character of the men selected
at the primaries by the peoeple, as the
Good Government nominees, is a dis
tinct triumph. Balanced against
these men are the nominees of the
machine. such as Healy, Yonkin and
"Doc" Houghton.
