GAVIN NJ NAB IS COMING
+. To HELP HENRY NJ DONALD
Discredited Machine Man to Try
Hopeless Task in Behalf
of His Friend

Gavin McNab is coming to Los An
geles TO help Henry Mcdonald, the So
called Democratic" candidate in the
thirty-eighth senatorial district, who is
attempting to Wrest the Democratic
nomination in that district from Mar
tin Bekins, the candidate indorsed by
the Democratic county conference.
News of McNab's prospective visit
to Los Angeles was confided to sew
eral sof McDonald's personal friends
yesterday, and according to these men
McNab ought to arrive today or to-
morrow.
McNabs visit to Los Angeles un-
doubtedly will be in the interest of
the OLD push, the relegated Democrats
who are now said to be vainly schem-
ing to get the Los Angeles county
Democratic central committee back
where Walter Parker and such man as
McNab can run things.
McNab has never claimed TO De any
thing but a machine man. His record
as a politician in San Francisco rs too
we'll known to require reviewing: but
just what McNab hopes 10 accomplish
by encouraging the discredited NcDon-
aid, or by boosting his candidacy, if
that is the object of his visit, as stat
ed. is difficult for the goo- govern
ment Democrats of Los Ange!es to un-
derstand. for they insist Mcdonald is a
dead one" without the sllghteSt
chance of defea ting Bekihs, the regu-
lar candidate, although Mcdonald
started in early to buy up all of the
Democratic signatures in his district so
Bekins could not get enough names to
it to file his petition
McNab, according 70 a number of
prominent Democrats who nave been
keeping a watchful eye on the antics
of Mcdonald and other deposed NAL
contents, has been in frequent COM
munication recently with some of the
S. P. bosses weeded out of the party
by the present leaders, ana IS using
Mcdonald, it is charged, TO procure in
formation on which he hopes TO stir
up trouble. But, although Mcdonald
has openly stated he wants TO get a
different county central committee, -
who will put in a new chairman. the
Democracy of Los Angeles Is sailing
along smoothly and harmoniousuly not
the least perturbed by the dissatisfac-
ton of Mcdonald or the impending
visit of McNab.

can league, is taking an active inter
est in the present campaign is Judge
Frank r. Oster of San Bernardino, the
oldest judge in point of service on

BARBECUE OF BOOSTERS

"The Boosters Barbecue" in the in

BernardinO chamber of commerce and
was also president of the San Ber-
nardino county good roads committee.
He was chairman of the committee
which drafted the present Juvenile
court law and its principal author. He
is now chairman of the committee

charter of San Bernardino
Judge Oster drafted and caused to
be introduced in the last legislature a
constitutional amendment providing
that in all criminal cases pending on
appeal the appellate court should con-
slider the facts, disregard technicalities
and affirm the Judgment provided the
verdict appeared just. He is an ardent
advocate of reform in criminal pro-
cedure and the divorce laws of the
state.
While by no means a rich man,
Judge Oster is an active factor in the
material development of Southern Cal
ifornia. He is interested in orange
and lemon culture in San Bernardino
county, hay and grain growing in
Riverside county, sheep raising in I'm
perial county and oil development in
Kern county. He is also interested
in real estate in Los Angeles.
1t is said of him that as a judge
he is upright, industrious. quick and
courteous and believes that courts are
designed to insure substantial justice
rather than technical qulbbling. He
is unanimously indorsed by the bar
of his home county for the position
to which he aspires. He now is serv-
ing his third term as judge OF the
superior court and during fourteen
years service has never been reversed
in a criminal case. Two years ago he
was reelected unanimously, being in
dorsed by all parties He followed
Journalism for several years before
settling down to the law.

Candidates SPEAK
At LEAGUE RALLY

A rally in the interests of the Lin
coln-R Roosevelt Republican league was
held last night in precinct 179, corner
of Thirty-sixth street and Vermont av-
enue About 100 were present and lis
tened to Sherwin Gibbons, candidate
for county coroner; Frank Hutton, can
didate for district attorney; L. D.
Swartwout, candidate for tax collec-
tor; DR.. E. M. Butler, candidate for as
sembly from the SeVentieth district;
Walter Lewis Of Pomona, candidate for
MAYOR; ]. H. De La Monte. candidate
for sheriff; Gavin w. Craig, candidate
for Judge of the superior court, all
indorsees of the Lincoln n-Roosevelt Re
publican league.
All spoke along the line of absolute
freedom from corporate control and
the necessity for thorough organiza-
ton. Mr. Gibbons promised his expert
attention as a physician and surgeon
at all autopsies and emphatically stat
ed that if elected the relatives of the
deceased would be consulted as to the
disposal of the body, a proceeding suf-
ficiently startling in itself to commend
the doctor, as it has been the custom
in the past to sen dthe body post haste
to one of two undertaking establish
ments fovared by the incumbent of
the coroner's office.
All the candidates spoke of what they
termed the futility of electing some of
the ticket and rejecting others, as the
county offices are so interlaced that
harmonious action on the part of all
is imperative to secure good results.
In addition to the candidates Guy
Eddie, present city prosecutor and
Loyal c. Kelley prominent young
attorney, made strong addresses, call
in; for united action and citing in
stances of corporate control in various
county offices.
Gavin w. Craig who arrived late
from another meeting, devoted the
most of his time to his policies and
stand on important judicial reforms,
and spoke at length of the qualities
meriting attention at the hands of the
voters, of his two colleagues for nomi-
nation to judgeships Messrs. Frank G..
Finlayson and John Perry Wood.

which 34,9O5 are in the county, leaving
a total of 62 ,428 in the city, indicating
