The Highland Park plan for getting
careless Good Government voters to go
to the polls December Z might well be
adopted in every precinct in the city,
and the result could not possibly be
disappointing to the forces interested
in better municipal rule.
In precinct 2, Highland Park, an ac-
tive committee, headed by Editor Ran
dali of the Highland Park Herald, has
sliced up the streets and avenues into
fifty sections, each of which contains
an average of ten houses. Then
list of fifty known and active Good
Government men was selected. to each
of whom was sent a postal card con-
tanning the following matter:
I'VE asking fifty In this precinct
yourself included--tO assist in getting out
the full vote of the Good Government ticket.
As a Good Government man we are sure you
will give hour or two TO this cause. know
ing the great Importance of getting out
every vote, to prevent the success Of con-
spiraey 10 land five of the most offensive
men on the machine ticket In the council.
The territory assigned to yOu is both
sides OF ........ street, from .......... TO
.-.......s..
"And we ask you 10 get the name of every
voter and the other information called for
on q card which IL furnished for this pur-
pose. These cards, together with supply
of Good Government card tickets, are ready
for you Mt the Highland Park Herald office.
Kindly call and get them. On Monday night,
Nov. 20, all workers are requested to meet
at the Herald office at o'clock prompt TO
report progress.
''lEe are depending on yOu to take care of
the district named, and II for any reason
yOu cannot do so, phone at once 10 the
undersigned, so that we can assign someone
else 60 It,"
foot of territory i'm the precinct, and
puts only a small amount of labor on
any worker, thus insuring results which
are complete and satisfying in every
respect.
There is no doubt about Alexan-
der's election said Adam d. Warner
yesterday. He will beat Smith three
to one and If he doesn't beat him
worse ! shall be surprised.
But want to urge a solid vote for
the nine Good Government councilmen.
Remember that Healy and Houghton
voted for the riverbed steal. AS have
said before, If six machine councilmen
will pass an ordinance TO release con-
troll of all the aqueduct power and
light, what will nine machine-rum
convention councilmen do?"
italy one more Parish man for
I6OTBG AltAdllutT anu al Ontlt Altth
town." said Edgar r. Mills in letter
to The Herald. 81 know of eight other
voters that cast their ballots at the
primary for Parish and three for Mu-
shet, all of whom are now for the en-
tire Good Government ticket The
Times can't count on the 'anti-Alex-
ander vote November 10 as going for
Smith-hardly.
IF Smith gets one-half of the Far
ish-Mushet vote he will be lucky; and
that means Alexander on the job to
use common phrase. Uncle George
has made good, so continue him two
years more and we will all be happy
except the Southern Pacific push and
the saloon violators of the-law."
The directors Of the Democratic
league yesterday unanimously adopted
the following resolutions regarding the
coming election:
believing that the coming city cleo
tion has resolved itself into contest
between the machine and anti-machine
forces, and in view of the fact that the
Democratic league always has advo-
Gated and stood for nonpartisanship in
municipal affairs. it is therefore
"Resolved, by the board of directors
of the Democratic league, that we do
hereby indorse the entire Good Gov
ernment ticket as nominated at the re-
cent primary election. and we hereby
request all of the league members to
support that ticket"
Harry Lyons, who was a candidate
for councilman before the primaries
and is secretary of the Standard Re
publican club, is actively supporting
Mayor Alexander. Mr. Lyons received
many compliments, even from men
who were pledged to other council
manic candidates. for the strong plat
form on which he stood and for the
character of the campaign he made.
ST supported Mr.. Mushet in the re-
cent primary election because | thought
he would make the city a capable
mayor" he said yesterday, but since
Mr.. Mushets name will not be on the
final ballot and we must choose be-
tween the Southern Pacific candidate,
Smith, and our present mayor / am
unreservedly for George Alexander.
at is time for the people of Los An
geles to throw off the Southern Pa
cific yoke and do away with these un-
scrupulous political grafters. on De-
, cember Z I will vote and work for
George Alexander and I believe that he
will be elected"
A new card Of instructions for the
Republican henchmen to take their
voting orders from has been issued by
the Republican city central commit
tee, bearing at it's top the DR. Jones
motto, "Village or a city" The faith
full among the Organization" voters
look at it sadly, for it has a crippled
list. carrying only eight councimen
and no members of the board of edu-
cation. Like the other cards of the Re-
publican committee it is printed in
mourning type.
Friends of education in Los Angeles
have been making a quiet campaign to
roll up for the present board of edu-
cation vote which shall be a stand
ing rebuke to it's enemies and to the
forces which have been combating
City superintendent +. c. Moore. In
dications point to an overwhelmingly
strong vote for the seven candidates
who are now members of the board Of
education and a consequent vindication
of their policies.
These men are Melville Dozier Her
man W. Frank. James NJ. Quinn, Roger
S. Page, Joseph Scott. Francis W.
Steddom and Fielding J. Stilson.
The oldest, as we'll as the strongest
and most active Democratic club in
the city is the Old Hickory club, COM
posed of Democrats in the precincts
comprising Highland Park, Sycamore
Grove and Garvanza. 1t had an organ
ization prior to the presidential cam
paign last year and is an active club
between campaigns 1t is thus able
to exercise more than a mere cam
paign or partisan influence.
1t is understood that most of the
members supported Parish at the pri-
