FRIENDSHIP IS ONLY
EXCUSE OF THE ANTS
SAN PEDRO SWINGING INTO
CONSOLIDATION LINE
Many Declare That with Wilmington
in It Would Be Suicide
for San Pedro to
Stay Out
Especial to The Herald ]

SAN PEDRO, Aug. 5.-"There is
nothing left for San Pedro to do but to
Join in with Los Angeles and Whining
ton now" said one of the old oppon-
ents to the measure today.
Then I suppose you will vote for it
August 1872" he was asked.
"Oh, no. l will stay with the bunch, "
he said.
This is the sentiment expressed by
several of the obstructionists who re-
alizes now that, with Wilmington in, 1t
will be suicidal for San Pedro to re-
main out of the greater city. They
cling, however, to old political affilia-
tions with the gang which has run
the politics of this city practically all
of the time since it's incorporation and
is loath to let go.
The 'bunch" is losing many former
loyal supporters. The fact that Will
mington is now in has been the last
straw to break down waVering op-
position.
With no outspoken leader, a general
stampede is now threatened, many or
the rank and file of the old political
ring leaving the ranks like rats from
a sinking ship.
''Plenty of seats are still vacant on
the band wagon and all new recruits
are welcomed, with no questions asked
bv the ever increasing consolidation
forces" said Secretary Seward today.
"a feeling of loyalty to the bunch is
still keeping some within the camp of
the opponents, but others have today
come out flatfooted for consolidation.
''City Attorney Henry Stieglitz con-
ceded the election for consolidation by
sixty majority the other day and today
saws that there will be margin of
ito the fifty added votes coming be-
cause the Wilmington election carried.
Mr.. Stieglitz, however, still says he
will vote against the measurement that
de does not consider it a good thing,
but because of his friends
eff the anti-consolidation forces hope
to win the election by friendship, real
or political, they certainly will have a
small vote on election day. With most
voters an issue of this nature, based
entirely on sound business principles
and a chance for better conditions
along every line, does not rest on old
personal friendship and the result on
election day will undoubtedly show
that the good business sense of the
voters was shown by the overwhelming
vote for consolidation"

PROF. FRANCIS TALKS TO
SUMMER SCHOOL STUDENTS
Superintendent of Polytechnic Out
lines Secrets of Success to 200
Boys Studying at Y. M. C. A.

Prof j. II. Francis, principal of the
Polytechnic high school, addressed 200
summer schoolboys of the Y. M c. A.
yesterday afternoon.
Prof. Francis said in part:
"The American boy needs to learn
that the secret of success is nine
tenths hard work and one-tenth genius,
while at the same time giving a proper
proportion of his time to wholesome re-
creation.
"There are three phases of special
occupations that l want to suggest to
you as Offering a wonderful opportu-
nifty at the present time to the Ameri-
can boy.
First, the occupation of agriculture.
We need farmers who make farming
their vocation, not their avocation,
There are two phases of engineering
which offer wonderful opportunity TO
the boys of today, sanitary and hy-
draulic."
