cellent soprano voice of considerable
power.
in some cases has only aroused the
greater suspicion.
To satisfy the candidates, nearly all
of whom are more or less uneasy, the
Republican city central committee au-
thorized the printing of a card OIL
cially signed by Chairman D. c. Cas-
selman, stating that "the Republican
party of Los Angeles indorses the fol-
lowing" and giving the names of the
candidates selected at the outlaw con-
vention. At the bottom is the warn
ing: Preserve this list for reference
at the primary election November TO-"
The card will be extensively clrcu-
lated among the faithful who will need
directions for voting the straight
ticket at the primary nominating cleo
ton.
A curious inaccuracy arising from
the desire to discredit the city charter
provision for the direct primary is that
under the heading "councilmen at
large the list Of candidates for coun-
Gil is given according to wards.
Not satisfied with this evidence of
intended good faith, the Republican
steering committee met yesterday aft
ernoon and solemnly asserted that no
body would be knitted. The candidates
were assured that the assertions OF the
officers holding down headquarters
that all candidates selected by the con-
vention would be supported through to
the primary nominating election might
be taken as official. The Republican
city central committee requires two
secretaries, as one has his entire time
occupied pacifying the rampaging can
didates and their friends. The sug-
gestion was made at headquarters yes
terday that this secretary be given
two assistants and a sergeant-at-ar arms.
The union label slip will cause no
mutterings from any of the candidates
candidacy is only contingent and de-
pends on the election of Uncle
George" Smith, he will be allowed to
shut himself out. None of the candi-
dates will worry, as union labor has
no recognition on the Republican party
ticket On the contrary, one of the
most popular of the slated candidates
was ousted at the last moment to meet
the non-union dictation Of the Times
and a strong supporter of anti-unton
policies was put through instead.
The Good Government organizations
executive committee yesterday selected
Meyer Lissner as its chairman and
Marshall Stimson as first vice chair
man. They succeed S. C. Graham and
DR.. Sherwin Gibbons, who resigned be-
cause they are connected with the city
administration. New members of the
executive committee are "Uncle Billy"
Workman, Councilman A. J. Wallace,
Z. D. Owens and Captain Lewis Han
sen of San Pedro.
Marshall Stimson will preside and
make the principal address at the

phony hall, 232 South Hill street, to-
night. A number of precinct workers
have been unusually successful in the
work in their respective precincts and
several will tell of the sentiment they
find favoring the Good Government
movement.
The Saturday night meetings of pre-
cinct workers and sympathizers with
the movement will be held every Sat
urday evening in Symphony hall until
the close of the campaign. In addi-
ton numerous neighborhood meetings
will be arranged and an active cam
paign will be carried on. The selection
of Mr.. Lissner as active head of the
campaign work was made much
against his will, but the demand for
his experience and ability came to the
committee from all parts of the city.
didate for council at the outlaw con-
vention, denies that he indorsed w. c.
Mushet for mayor at the Liberal alli-
ance meeting, so many who heard have
given testimony to that effect that sew
eral opposing candidates for the coun-
Gil have been kept busy carrying away
large sections of his support Even one
of his compatriots on the machine tick
ct is said to have invaded Mr.. McKee's
precinct and secured votes not pledged
to the full ticket by suggesting that
they had better take a man already ex
perienced in the council routine so long
as they were for one known Republi-
can.
Since the Mushet incident Mr.. Mckee
has had sung to him the campaign
song, 1--WE Won't Knife Anybody" at
least eighty-three times.
DR.. A, D. Houghton has made nine
ty-seven speeches, all without excep-
ton favoring his candidacy for the
council, which he points to as a most
consistent record. He will make three
more today and tonight. Lately he
has been devoting his addresses to
proof that he is the originator and dis
coverer of the owens river power pro-
ject, and he supports his assertions
with astronomical observations pro-
cured by himself. If necessary, DIR.
Houghton says he will send up the
auueduct for two inhabitants of Inyo
county, who will make affidavits that
he cached the power project there sew
eral years ago.
John T. Pope made a telling Good
Government speech at the precinct
meeting in Masonic hall on East First
street last night. Mr.. Pope is making
vigorous campaign, and has made a
rumber of speeches at the foundries
and large factories. He intends to keep
up this kind of campaigning until the
ospera1 electfou December z.
