All along the line through the cam
paign the machine Republican central
committee has initiated the ideas orig

! Government organization and President
Meyer Lissner. When Good Govern
ment workers who did effective work
were pledged a banquet, the machine
| newspaper sneered at the idea, but it
was soon seized on by the Republican
city central committee. Now the Re

"As one who signed Mr. Mushet's
original petition for the mayoralty,"
says DR.. j. e. Cowles, Il have no hesi-
fancy in avowing myself now as an
ardent supporter of Mr.. AleXanders
election. Not in a spirit of pique, how
ever, but because feel convinced that
his election means much for the well
fare and advancement of our beloved
city. Mr.. Mushet was supported by
many of our best citizens, and l hope
and believe that the large majority of
them will support Mr.. Alexander.
TT would seem incredible that in the
light of the last machine rule any fair
minded and right-thinking man would
want to return to it by voting for Mr..
Smith, who, If he represents anything,

| West Pico street, a telegraph operator
on the Santa Fe, met Capt. Broadhead
coming down on the train December 8.
Broadhead got on at Corcoran, where
he has a ranch. 1t will be remembered
that he claims to have bought this
ranch with money loaned him by DIR.

Nick Oswald was paid to him by Os-

Broadhead, who knows owens, con-

here to help beat to a finish that old
Whiskered goat Alexander"
Broadhead said: "If we beat Alex

other hand, Alexander is reelected, 1
am going back to the ranch"
Fred Sanborn, deputy in the office
of the surveyor general at Sacramento,
machine lieutenant, is down doing pol
itics in the Ninth ward, which is his
particular bailiwick. Mr.. Sanborn
comes down regularly for every cleo
tion and spends week or two in Los
Angeles doing machine politics. 1t
would be interesting to inquire whether
Mr.. Sanborn's salary goes on as usual
during all this time, and who pays his
travelling expenses
