declined for lack Of time.

FAVORS KEEPING
ABLE OFFICIALS
GOOD GOVERNMENT BODY RE-
-PEATS ENDORSEMENTS
ONLY ONE INCUMBENT OPPOSED
BY ORGANIZATION
Choice for Council Is Left to Voters,
Though Three Men Seeking
Reelection Are Not
Recommended

Regarding it's recommendations as to
candidates at the primary nominating
election tomorrow the Good Govern
ment organization issued the follow
ing statement yesterday:
To the Voters of Los Angeles: The
Good Government organization made
no nominations for any municipal Of
flee, but after the time had elapsed
for the filing of petitions by or on be-
half of the candidates, at meeting
consisting of delegates from all parts
of the city the Good Government or
ganization Endorsed the following can
didates for the offices named:
For mayor, George Alexander, in
cumbent.
For attorney, Leslie R. Hewitt, In
cumbent.
For clerk, Harry ]. Lelande, incumb-
ent.
For assessor, Walter Mallard, in
cumbent.
For treasurer C. H. Hance, incumbr
ent.
For auditor, John S. Myers.
For tax collector, Clarence NJ. Tag
CART.
For board of education, Joseph Scott,
Incumbent; Melville Dozier, incumbent;
H. W. Frank, incumbent; J. M. Quinn,
incumbent; Roger S. Page, incumbent;
F. w. Steddom, incumbent; Fielding j.
Stilson, incumbent.
1t will be observed that all of the
candidates Endorsed by the Good Gov
eminent organization are incumbents,
with the exception of the candi-
dates for auditor and tax col
| lector. The Good Government organiz-
alton believes in retaining in office Of
fcials who are faithful and efficient.
Such officials are entitled to COM
mendation and Endorsement from an
organization, the object of which is to
obtain and secure good government for
our city.
One Change Recommended
Only one incumbent for office is
opposed by the Good Government or
ganization. The public good would
seem to require a change in the ad-
ministration of the office Of tax col
| lector. It has been unsatisfactory and
the Good Government organization in
dorsed the candidacy for that office of
Clarence NJ. Taggart who, of all the
candidates before the people for tax
| collector, in the opinion of the Good
Government organization seems most
likely to conduct that office along
strictly business lines and in the in
terest of the people.
FOf AUDITOR the GOOu EoNSILiiSHI VI =
ganization Endorsed John S. Meyers as
a candidate, who is not only good
accountant, but who is well balanced,
has good judgment and is not subserv-
lent to Interior influences.
On account of the large number of
available candidates for the office of
councilmen, the Good Government or
ganization determined not to indorse
| or pick the candidates for council. No
candidate for council can truthfully
| say that he has or was promised the
| Endorsement of the Good Government
| organization. Those candidates for
council who are at all worthy of sup
port by the Good Government organic
alton stand on an equal footing and
the public must judge from their past
records, their platforms and their re-
cent public utterances, which candi-
da es they will favor

C0OPER'S FOLLOWERS GIVE
REASON FOR THEIR BELIEF

With theory that huma., health is
dependent on the stornesk and with a
medicine which he says proves this
theory, L. Trooper has built up an
immense following during the past
year.
Cooper has visited most of the lead
ing cities OF the country and in each
city has aroused storm of discussion
about his beliefs and his medicines.
Wherever he has gone people have
called upon him by thousands and his
preparation has sold in immense guam
titles.
The sale Of this medicine has now
spread over the entire country and is
growing enormously each year. In
view of this the following statement
from Mrs. Nettie C. Harris, living at
16 S. South Carolina avenue, Atlantic
City, N. j., with reference to her re-
cent recovery from a severe affliction,
will be of uncommon interest. Mrs.
Harris says:
"For the past five years 1 have been
a sufferer from acute indigestion, nerv-
BUSINESS, constipation and hemorrhoids.
on December %, 1906, my husband,
thinking l might at any time die
in one of the spells of Indigestion,
took me to London, Ohio, in order
that / might be near my relatives
While there l had twenty-seven at
tacks. in each of which my life was
6espaired Of.

SAN PEDRO VOTERS TO
BOOST FOR ALEXANDER
Mayor Of Los Angeles and Two Other
Excellent Speakers Will Address
Citizens Tonight

SAN PEDRO. Nov. s-The voters
of this section of the consolidated city
are warming up to the primary election
wednesday and will by that time be
well supplied with information con-
corning the numerous candidates SEEK
ing office at the hands of the people.
The first public meeting was surely a
frost, when about 100 persons stood and
shivered at the corner of Sixth and
Palos Verdes streets Saturday night
while the machine Republicans told
how they would open up the town II
they were allowed to run the govern
ment.
Tonight Mushet went one better by
hiring a hall and speaking to a few
people and a large number of vacant
chairs.
1t remains, however, for Mayor Alex
ander to draw the crowd, and a crowd
1t will be which will greet him to-
morrow night at the big Fifth street
auditorium. With him will be Judge
John d. Works and Hon. Lee c. Gates.
who will make one of the principal
addresses of the evening. The San
Pedro Good Government club has
charge of the meeting and many local
men will be there to indorse the can
didacy of "Uncle George" and the
good government men who are on the
ticket.
The report of the Municipal league
on the various candidates for council
is being largely circulated here and
every opportunity is being given the
voters to learn of the qualifications
of the men on the ticket.
Indications are that San Pedro will
poll a big vote for George Alexander
for mayor and make an intelligent Sc
lection OF the good men running for
council,

ELECTION INVOLVES
IMPORTANT ISSUES
VOTERS ARE URGED TO CAST
BALLOTS EARLY
New System of Direct Nominations
Will Be Given Its First and
Decisive Test Here
Tomorrow

Suggestions to voters relative to to-
morrow's election were prepared yes
terday by President Lissner of the Good
Government organization and embodied
in the following circular:
1.-THE election to be held tomorrow is,
in many respects, the most important
election ever held in the city of Los
Angeles. At that election the citizens
of Les Angeles will have an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate whether they
have the desire to nominate their mu-
nicipal officers directly and without
the Intervention of conventions, politi-
cal bosses and machine politicians.
IF the candidates selected by the
people for office are no better than the
product of the machine controlled con-
Ventions our new election law must be
admitted to be a failure. If, on the
other hand, a superior ticket of candi-
dates is nominated by the people 1t will
be a Vindication and triumph of the
system of direct nominations. We urge
every voter who prizes his elective
franchise to be sure and vote at this
election, and we urge him to VOTE
EARLY because, on account of the
length of the ballot, considerable time
will be consumed in voting; and unless
voter does vote early he may lose
his vote altogether
I'VE urge all voters who approve of
the present administration of our city
officers to go to the polls and vote for
the triumphant denomination of George
Alexander and of those city officials
who are incumbents and who, like him,
have made good and should be kept on
the job
"All citizens who viii volunteer to
give some time for the good of the
cause Wednesday are urged to either
remain at their polling places working
for the good government candidates or
to call at headquarters to be assigned
to those precincts where workers are
needed
Automobile owners who are willing
to give the use of their machines to
the Good Government organization for
all or part of the day are requested to
communicate with headquarters or to
get in touch with the good government
workers at their polling places.
Let every voter who approves of the
present administration do his whole
duty as a citizen at this primary cleo
tion and there will be no question but
that an overwhelming vote of conf
dence in Mayor Alexander and in the
other city officials who have so faith
fully co-operated with him will be reg
istered at the polls.

does not hesitate to say. however, that
it cannot recommend to the voters OF
Los Angeles the three present council
men who are asking for reelection.
The councllmanic ticket is most inn
portant. A good mayor without good
council to back him up is handicapped.
We urge voters to consider qualiftca-
tions of candidates most carefully In

Influenced by ready-made tickets pre-

Voters are especially cautioned

WHITEHEAD TALKS
TO STATE GRANGER

The feature of yesterday afternoons
session Of the New Castle County Pomo-
ma Grange, was an address by Mortimer
Whitehead, of New Brunswick, n. j.,
lecturer for the National Grange. He
treated OF problems now before the ma
tional grange. In speaking of the need Of
good roads Mr. Whitehead mentioned tho
bill now before Congress providing for
an appropriation Of S50,0oO.OOO TO be divided
among the States for the benefit Of their
roads, large sums have been appropriate
ed for rivers and .harbors. Mr.. Whitehead
said. but no question is so vital to the
farmer as good roads. and the farmer,
accordingly, should see that his interests
are protected at the capital.
Tariff revision was one Of Mr.. White
heads sub-topics
f"Farming." he said 'is less protected
than any other American industry" II Is
his belief that there should be tariff on
certain articles grown by the farmers in
order that they might be properly econ-
omized.
The parcels post question also consumed
a great portion OF the meeting. The gram
ges all over the country are favoring
this bill. Mr.. whitehead noted with great
surprise that the Wilmington Board Of
Trade should have taken a stand against
the proposition and he feels that they do
not understand IT, The phase he believes
they overlooked when they passed their
resolution against the bin was the local
merchants special rate" This provides
that merchants within localities, counties
or districts are to have a special rate
lower than the big mail order houses arc
TO have. II is claimed by the grangers that
instead Of this bill tending TO break up the
business OF the local merchant it will
strengthen their advantages. They win be
able TO deliver their goods at much
lower rate than Il will be possible for the
mail order house and the service viii give
them an excellent margin for competitive
purposes.
The session was presided over by
Thomas T. Weldin, who viii be installed
Master of Pomona at the June meeting.
The literary entertainment was under
charge OF Worthy Lecturer Mrs. W. p.
Peach. Following the songs by the Grange
Worthy Master b. A. Groves Of Diamond
State Grange gaze a select reading on
''Woman's Influence on Character" that
was appreciated highly by the bachelors.
Miss Helen Gregg gave a humorous reel
tation. "How Moses Counted His Eggs"
County Superintendent Spaid spoke on
Lincoin's Gettysburg address.
The Grange adopted the following reso-
luton:
Resolved. That we. the members OF
Pomona Grange in session in. Wilmington.
Delaware. on this the Fourth day OF
March, A. d.. 1909. wish to express our
appreciation and thanks to those members
of the Legislature who have assisted ms
I'm any way with the bills offered by the
Grange to the said General Assembly.
