prominent Democrats in the state of
California. He was for years chairman
of the Democratic state central com
mittee, and it is recognized generally
his interest in politics has been unsel-
fish and patriotic. Mr.. Spellacy says:
1.-The character and not the individ-
ual opinion of national politics should
be the standard for every office with
in a state. l sincerely believe in the
direct primary law as operated in the
city of Los Angeles. 1t destroys the
usefulness of the walking delegate of
the great cooperative political ma
chimes, and is the good seed sown
which If properly cultivated will place
government ultimately on a much saf-
er and flrmer basis.
I'm national affairs / am a Democrat,
and firmly believe the present high
protective policy Is a cancerous germ
that must be eradicated if the govern
ment expects to avoid the final out
come as predicted by Lord Macaulay.
Will Support Alexander
"In the last primary election l sup
ported Mr.. Parish, as / believed and
yet believe he represents the highest
standard of citizenship. AS his name
has not been placed on the final bal
lot | transfer my allegiance to George
Alexander as in my judgment he eX-
emplifes the same characteristics of
Mr.. Parish, and from my conversa-
tions l am satisfied that 80 per cent
of the following of Mr. Parish will give
loyal support to the present mayor.
"The greatest requisite for good
administration is honesty, which GER
tainly cannot be denied to Mr.. Alex
ander, and the only charge that has
been brought forward against his re-
election Is almost an insult to the in
telligence of the ordinary citizen; his
opponents say he is old. If this is a
crime, the franers of our city charter
should reconvene and place it on the
statutes and appoint a committee to
at once lead our Uncle George to the
guillotine. They should act in haste,
lest i'm a stampede from the good city
of Los Angeles culprits might escape.
II age is a crime, how fortunate that
men of the stamp of Gladstone and
Bismarck escaped before it became
such.
Mayor Alexander has certainly made
good. No man who respects the law
need fear him."
Vernon Ross, secretary of the
Brooklyn Heights Young Mems club,
which has indorsed George A. Smith,
denies Indignantly the rumor the club
received $3.50 from the Mushet may
orally organization. "All we received,
says Mr.. Ross, was S. each for sew
eral of our members who worked for
Mushet on election day. That did not
amount to $3.50 or 800. l think we
made votes for Mushet. Now, no mat
ter what happens, we are for Smith.
CAPTAIN Lewis Hansen's talk on har-
Dor possibilities is proving hit in the
present campaign, and he is receiving
many congratulations for the vigorous
manner in which he is standing up for
San Pedro. At the ratification meeting
Saturday evening he was the recipient
of a number of compliments from per-
sons who searched around the hall un-
til they could find him.
A "Handley meeting" will be held
tomorrow night at Diehrs hall, corner
of Central avenue and East Adams
street, at the special request of voters
i'm that neighborhood. They heard
Professor l.. A. Handley at meeting
prior to the primary nominating cleo
ton and were so impressed by the logic
of his speech they asked the Good
Government organization to arrange
meeting at which Mr.. Handley should
be the sole speaker. They have prom
ised him a crowded hall.
Benny Cohn and a number of his
friends started for the scene of the
wreck of the ST. CroiX Saturday night,
"but after trial of the first part of
the beach road they decided it would
not be possible to get back in time
for the December election" said the
chauffeur. Away out ON the Malibu
ranch road the party found a huge
sign adjuring them to vote FOR b, A.
Baker for councilman at large. HE
must have been running strong to
have got way out here" said Cohn.
somebody ought to catch up and tell
him to stop before he bumps into Pin
head Mccarthy"
