Los Angeles herald., 1909-10-23

Mushet has added that of Frank G.
! Tyrrell, who has taken Guy Gardners 5
place as political lieutenant on the
| committee of seventy eight" which
now consists of thirty-one members
! Mr.. Tyrrell will be remembered as the
/ speaker at an anti-consolidation meet
ing at Wilmington, who bitterly as
sailed the honor of Los Angeles, com
pairing the city with slippery eel
that would bear watching, intimating
that no decent citizen outside the city
limits would think of wanting to be an
neXed. 1t was predicted then by men,
bers of the consolidation committee
that when Mr. Tyrrell secured legal
residence within the city he would not
be averse to falling in line for an ap-
pointiye office.
For five days the 141 candidates for
municipal favors will have their names
printed in the daily papers so that he
who runs may memorize them. There
is a candidate for mayor for each day
in the week, and fifty-nine varieties of
councilmanic aspiration which must of
necessity be labeled as having also
ran after November 10.
One of Frederick Freeman Wheeler's
friends has written the following ar
gument for his election as councilman:

two and four a few months since,
which eliminated ward and party lines
has resulted in producing a number Of
clean, capable candidates for the coun-
ell, even though the total number of
all kinds of candidates is large.
among the most conspicuous and
able OF these candidates for the coun-
ell is Frederick Freeman Wheeler,
who has been a resident of Los An
| geles for eleven years. AS the owner
! of Wheeler Place on Occidental boule-
ward, he has contributed in no small
measure to the improving and beauti-
| flying of our city. He has been a sue
cessful business man and is now out of
active business except for the over
sight of his private affairs.
LAS a merchant and banker in the
east Mr.. Wheeler was accustomed to
! handle large questions and is recog-
nized as especially fitted to grapple
with the large city problems of the
next two years. A clear thinker,
forcible speaker, good parliamentar-
ian, a hard worker in committee or in
investigations, his innumerable friends
believe he would make one of the best
councilmen the city could desire, and
they hope to see him elected"
George Baker Anderson. who is well
known to the Good Government work
ers of Los Angeles, and who achieved
a state reputation for his work for the
peoples lobby at the last legislature
] stopped in Los Angeles last night to
learn about the status of the municipal
| campaign. Mr.. Anderson is now work.

Heney campaign in San Francisco.

said Mr.. Anderson. "Heney's election
was sure from the start. Now we have
| cinched that of DR.. Leland, who is GER
tain to be the next mayor Of San
Francisco. He has not only the sup
port of the Democrats but that of the
/ Independent Republicans. The men
who want to see San Francisco pros
| per, who have a deep pride in the
reputation of the city, are rallying to
the support of DR.. Leland. His cleo
| ton and that of Francis J. Heney are
absolutely certain"
City Attorney Hewitt holds officially
that a candidate must not run up a
total of expenses for primary nomi-
mating and general municipal election
amounting to more than 10 per cent
of the annual salary of the office he Is
seeking. Most of the candidates are
not concerning themselves about eX
penses after the primary nominating
election as yet. Mr.. Hewitt said yes
terday:
"The limitation of expenses allowed
by the purity of elections law which
I believe to be applicable to the city
of Los Angeles, is 10 per cent of the
amount of one years salary of the Of
fee For the reasons 1 have stated I
am of the opinion that the candidates
for city offices can only expend, at
both the primary and general elections
taken together, an amount that shall
not exceed 10 per cent of one years
salary, and that all expenses incurred
after fling the nominating petition fall
within this limitation"
T. L. O'Brien and John T. Pope
are candidates for the council who are

Citations. Both are hard workers for
their respective improvement associa-
tiOns and Mr.. O'Brien was the founder
of one of the largest associations in
Los Angeles. c. T. Paul and J, NJ.
Glass are also candidates who stand
well with improvement association
workers. Mr.. Pope's candidacy has
been indorsed bv the Garvanza I'M
provement association, and that of
Mr.. Glass has received the indorse~
ment of the South Main Street I'M
provement association, Of which he is

Clarence. NJ. Taggart. candidate for
city tax license collector, is making an
aggressive campaign which is gaining
support for him in all parts of the
