Los Angeles herald., 1909-09-22

assisted in driving the delegation
! along the Southern Pacific right of
way by Henry Stieglitz, VINO as city
attorney of san Pedro was against
consolidation because ms trlends
We're that way and who knows his
friends" in the convention, and by
sam Storer, partner of former Mayor
Joe Walton, leader of the solid
three" in the San Pedro trustees.
When consolidation was declared to
be the greatest issue before the people
of Los Angeles and the harbor cities
the delegation now sent up TO the out
law convention opposed 1t. 1t is not
likely now that they are not represen-
tative of the views of the power be-
hind the so-called Republican conven-
tion which is scheduled to meet tomor-
row night Perhaps this has no signif-
icance to the voters who stood by the
Ios. Angeles consolidation committee.
In Wilmington the situation is SINH
lar as may be seen by a counting of
noses of the delegates to the "rump''
convention, headed by Ben Hayes, one
of the three men in Wilmington. who
openly fought against consolidation.

harbor precincts is as follows:

Here is the straight dope" on the
Republican machine program as 1t
stands today:
Don c. McGarvin will call the outlaw
convention to order tomorrow night in
| the Shrine auditorium in defiance of
the city charter, but according to or
! ders from Sauthern Pacific political
headquarters. He will ask who will be
had as their chairman, and r. w.
| Richardson will be had. After other
! preliminary business which will be
draped as effectively as possible to con-
ceal the machines bad order although
this will be imperfectly done owing to
| lack Of draping material because of re-
! fusal of many to serve. George N. Black
| slate by nominating George A. Smith
will open the announcement of the
| for mayor.
The full slate to be chosen is as
! follows:

If any changes are made in the fore
going they may be attributed to an
attack of fright on the part of the
machine leaders induced by premature
publicity.
A part Of the program not to be
indorsed by the outlaw convention, but
| which will be carried out, is in part
| as follows:
November 10-Crushing defeat Of
| machine candidates at the primary
nominating election.
| December machine leaders will
/ sra nd Cf6a . nd q fba
election to proceed according to the
city charter which they are ordered to
subject to contempt tomorrow night.

| atty candidacy of o. E. Parish at
Akey hall, 11O6 East Vernon avenue,
| tonight will be addressed by Mr.. Far
| ish, Grove E. Walter. Frank ]. Baum,
Harry Arnold and Frank F. Pratt DR..
A. C. Pratt will preside.
! Not wanting to take any chances,
the fourteen delegates in DIR. Austin's
precinct met last night and appointed
an ironclad steering committee to stay
| by the Endorsement of DIR. Austin as
the machine candidate for the council
at tomorrow nights trump" conven-
tion. DR.. Austin was put forward
through feeling on the part of resi-
dents Of his neighborhood that their
| section should be recognized, as that
neighborhood has not had a local rep
| resentatiYe in the council for many
! years.
The steering committee was made
up by selecting Frank Dominguez, Err
vim Dingle and Isaac Wolff, who were
/ instructed to put through the indorse-
ment of DR.. Austin with a whoop-
two whoops If necessary. 1t was re-
ported at the meeting that the home
! precinct Of DR.. Austin's announced
opponent for the Endorsement, William
E. Mckee, had been turned over to
the Austin camp.
Will A. Knighten, who has been Sc
| lected to nominate Dr. Austin, yester-
! day issued letter to neighboring dele
! gates asking them to fall in line, if
| possible, for DR.. Austin, saying that
the east end of the ward feels that
! it is entitled to a choice at this cleo
| ton"
