tices which have disgraced seVerai
other cities during recent elections.
"In order to prevent any chance OF
tho violation of election laws at the
coming primary and regular elections,
we propose to organize in this city a
purity of elections league similar TO
the one organized by District Attorney
] rome in New York. For that pur-
pose we have called a public meeting
to be held Monday night.
1--WE appeal to all citizens interested
in preserving the purity of elections
laws of this city to come to symphony
hall, 232 South Hill street, Monday,
November 8, at o'clock p. m, to help
organize a purity of elections league
to prevent irregular voting and other
violations of the election laws at the
coming primary and regular elections.

men and students, individually and
collectively, to assist in the organiza-
tion of this non-partisan league for the
upholding OF the law and enforcement
of a square deal"
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-06

Having in it's possession evidence
that the political machine which has
heretofore used dubious methods to
control Los Angeles has arranged to
import an outfit of trough necks' and
rowdies from San Francisco to partici-
pate in the coming municipal elections
in Los Angeles, the League of Justice
is taking a vigorous stand for talr
and decent election.
The reward of $100 is in addition to
that provided by law to detect election
frauds. and there is a possibility that
the aggregate may be increased to $500
within a few days. In any event. every
effort will be made to apprehend men
who vote fraudulently, and the severest
penalty the law allows will be inflicted
on any offender who is caught.
Large posters bearing the foregoing
notice will be put up at every polling
place. The old system of voting the
oil derricks and running in fioaters
which has been a feature of machine
rule, will no longer be tolerated.
In order to create permanent move
ment for protection of the ballot, the
league has called a meeting at sym
phony hall Monday evening to organize
for purity of elections. Frank G. Fin
lc ..'son, president of the League of
Justice, will preside; City Attorney
Hewitt will expound the election law,
and Marshall Stimson will make an
address on tdecency in elections.
Secretary H. w Reed of the League
Of Justice yesterday issued the follow
ing statement regarding the meeting
"a very important election Will be
held in this city in a few days, The
people OF Los Angeles are vitality inter-
ested in the issues which are at stake
and which will be decided on that oc-
casion 1t is of vital Importance to
this city that this election should be
conducted in fair and impartial man
ner, without any of the disgraceful
episodes which have soiled the repu-
tation of other American cities during
recent municipal elections.
"The coming primary election should
be conducted in such a manner as will
give all parties, organizations, interests
and candidates a fair, square deal,
The result of the election should show
the relative strength and popularity of

Los Angeles, Oct. 28, 1909.
To the Voters of the City of Los An
geles:
The Democratic league from the be-
ginning of the Recall campaign has
been in sympathy and cooperation
with the movement in TINS CITY 10 re-
store the city and its government INTO
the hands of the people and of honest
servants of the people.
The league hitherto has waited until
those in charge of the campaign nave
formulated and announced the policy
to be pursued, and when that has been
done has accepted such policy ana
done its best to insure its success at
the polls. In the recall and the cleo
tion following it the league accepted
the action and followed the lead of the
Municipal league
When the Good Government organi-
zation was organized and undertook
the task of carrying forward the work
which had been so auspiciously lnau-
gurated by the Municipal league In
The recall, the Democratic league and
is still to cooperate with that body
in its action. In common with the
other voters in this city who are in
favor of this movement 1t hoped and
axnected that the Good Government
orga nization through it's proper com
.nittees and other agencies would find
out and suggest to the great body of
voters of the city from among the
numerous candidates for the council
nine persons whom 1t could recon-
mend to the electors as fit, competent
and suitable candidates to be voted
for at the primary election, and who If
nominated at such primary election
would be suitable persons to be voted
for at the ultimate election in Decem-

Democratic League. Cooperating with
Good Government Organization,
Endorses Council Candidates

her But in the wisdom of it's counseIs
that body has determined that 1t will
make no recommendation or sugges-
tion in this behalf. There is little
doubt that if the Good Government
organization had made such recon-
mendation this league would have ap-
proved the same. But since 1t failed
to do so this league has felt that 1t
was incumbent upon it to investigate
as far as practicable the character
and qualifications of the numerous
candidates for the council, and par
ticularly of those who have been affil-
lated with the Good Government move
ment, and it has accordingly under
taken to do so.
AS a result of such investigation and
consideration of the personnel of that
body of candidates II has determined
to suggest and recommend the follow
ing list of names as those of persons
who, as this league believes. will carry'
forward the policies and reforms for
which the movement for good govern
ment in this city stands, to wit:
JOHN ID. WORKS, RICHMOND PLANT,
T. L. OBRIEN, ROBERT M. LUsK,
CHARLES II. RANDALL. II. J. woOLLA-
COTT. JOSIAS j. ANDREWS, FRANK
WALKER, MARTIN f. BETKOUSKI.
In recommending these names this
league is not insensible of the fact
that there are other men in the long
list OF candidates for the council who
are we'll qualified for the position and
in all respects worthy of the confidence
and suffrage of their fellow citizens,
but it must be remembered that there
are but nine councilmen to be elected
and but nine names can be voted fos

Respectfully submitted,

and that position all irrespective of
the question of whether they are fit

Judge Trask, in speaking of the eff
fects Of good municipal government,
said: Nobody can dispute the fact
that there never has been anywhere
long continued prosperity and progress
unless there was a good government.
Wherever there has been bad govern
ment there has been a failure of prog

GREAT MEETING
HELD BY FORCES
FOR CLEAN CITY
ENTHUSIASM RUNS RIOT AT
SIMPSON AUDITORIUM
GOOD GOVERNMENT SPEAKERS
cHEERED TO ECHO
Biggest Audience of Present Campaign
Subscrbes to Policies Expounded
by Champions Of Non-Partisan
Municipal Politics

Enthusiasm for the good government
cause and the candidacy of men sup
ported by the Good Government organ
ization was manifested throughout the
big meeting at Simpson auditorium
last night 1t was especially shown
when Mayor Alexander appeared on
the platform. He was given most
hearty ovation with continuance or
the cheering by an audience standing
on its feet for several minutes. Presl-
dent Iissner and several OF the speak
ers were accorded rousing welcomes by
the audience, which lost no opportunity
to express the determination to see the
cause of good government triumphant.
The main auditorium was filled more
than half an hour before the speakers
appeared on the platform, and the en-
thusiasm of the auditors contlnued
until after II o'clock, when the meeting
was closed.
In calling the meeting to order Mr..
Lissner refuted vigorously the insinua-
tions by men who are so accustomed TO
bosses they cannot conceive any other
condition that the Good Government
organization is held in the control OF
any set of individuals. Amy man or
set of men or any newspaper that
would attempt to dictate to the organ
ization," he said, would find himself
pulled up with very short jerk. The
speakers for the evening were Maj.
Henry T. Lee, William D. stephens,
Lee c. Gates, Rev. ]. 7. Hill, Judge ID.
x. Trask, Judge John D. Works, Frank
c.. Finlayson and the mayor.
Against Partisanship
Major Henry T. Lee, the first speak
er, explained why partisanship should
not control in municipal elections He
stated that national party lines were
all we'll and good so far as applied to
national politics and possibly to state
and county politics, "but when we get
right straight down to our homes and
the places where we live" he said,
when we come to the administration
of all of the utilities of life, which
make life liveable and the building of
our streets and the police protection
of our properties and of our person and
the fire protection and the education
of our children and all the various
ramihcations of the public service for
our own individual lives, what differ
ence does it make whether the men
who do the work are Republicans or
Democrats whether they are high tar
iff or Row tariff? We want the men
who WIFI do the work well and hon
estly.
"'rhe more voters there are the more
work tn ere has to be done, and to keep
up the upremacy of the national party
they I'D We to promise these men If
you viii look out for that ward and
carry that for the Republican party we
will see that you are made so and so.

get such and such an office. Those

IF THE argument advanced by the
Southern Pacific political bureau
Il against George Alexander, that he
should not be reelected because he has
been retained in office for a number of
years, is a good one, it applies equally
to Harry ]. Lelande. But with its
customary inconsistency the machine
nominated Harry ]. Lelande on its slate
because he has made good, while it op-
poses Mayor Alexander for the same
reason.
City Clerk Lelande has undoubtedly
made good-that is admitted by every
body. 1t is a most encouraging indica-
ton of the popularity of the idea for
which the Good Government organiza-
ton has been fighting. that the good of
the municipality should be placed SUI
perior TO corporate and private profit,
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-06

that a machine organization once 81
dominant and powerful as the Southern
Pacific political bureau should be COM
relied to accept such capable and inde-
pendent men as City Clerk Lelande, not
merely in one election, but as often as
he can be persuaded to take the office.
Like George Alexander, Mr.. Lelande
believes in attending to the city's busi-
ness. His office, under the impulse of
the city's rapid growth, has many
emergency calls. particularly under the
election laws. In none of these has the
city clerks office failed to handle the
demand adequately and so quickly that
the large amount of extra work was
taken by the public as regular routine.
Few persons outside the admirably
chosen working force under Mr.. Le-
lande realize how much work is accom-
plished in the city clerks Office.

AUTO LEAPED THE GAP.

Milwaukee. June 24-Leaping the
gas as performed in the circus was
a simple feat as compared with the
experience of DR.. William E. Durr of
this city when his autom oble made
a spectacular jump across the ten
foot space between the rapidly rising
wings Of the Bascule bridge at First
avenue viaduct, Dr. Durr was hur-
rying on an emergency call when he
approached the bridge. The yiaduct
at this point is nearly so feet above
the river.
When he approached he did not
hear the warning cries of the bridge
tenders until his machine. going at a
rapid rate was upon the north lift.
Then he found the bridge was as
ccnding, with the south arm of the
bridge slightly below that on which
he was ascending. Putting on full
power, his machine leaped the cross
ing to the south arm a space of ten
feet AZ

Washington, June 24.-The Re-
publican members of the Senate fin

final consideration of the proposed
corporation tax amendment to the
tariff bill. For several hours they
were in session with Senator Root,
in consultation over various features
of the amendment as drawn up by
Root and Attorney General Wicker
sham.
II is believed the amendment will
be accepted as prepared, but some
members have suggested slight
changes with a view of making the
amendment as impervious to attack
as possible. The fact has become
known that not only will some of the
strongest corporations over the coun-
try aRtagonize the bill, but after pas
sage they will attempt to overthrow
it. 1t is believed the amendment will
reach the Senate tomorrow.
Senator Beveridge today continued
his efforts for an amendment to cor
rect the size of tobacco packages
He declared that although the Span
ish- American war tax has been re-
pealed, the manufacturers continue
selling the decreased size for as great
cost, with the result that many mil
lions are taken from the people
wrongfully He said his amendment
would bring $21.000.0 600 revenue into
the treasury annually ana give the
people the size package they pay for.
The bill appropriating $4,000. 900
