time residents of Los Angeles, where
they are both known as capable and
energetic men, familiar with the varied

and thoroughly able to represent the
people in the city council. ,
Both of these men are regarded by
the leaders in the Good Government
movement as the most fitted to deal
with the public questions to come be-

and while none of the candidates has
been indorsed by the Good Government
organization formally it is understood

are behind Messrs. Stewart and Whit

of five Good Government candidates,
Messrs. Stewart. Whiffen, We'll, Van
