upon the wealthy residents of Fair
Oaks and MenIo Park several weeks
ago when the San Mateo county super
visors called an election to be held to-
day to decide whether or not the citi-

the formation of lighting district

hanging over their shady lanes and
rustic roads.
Consequently the millionaires got
busy and did some ,electioneering of
their own. Prominent among the insur-
gents, it is said, were former Senator
Charles n. FELTON,. Joseph A. Donohoe

as long as l am in my right mind

While l was virtually defeated,
