LAWYERS FORM NEW
PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE
President FuIWider Announces the
Clubs Plans for Selecting a
Better Government Ticket

The Progressive league, the newest
political organization in Los Angeles,
has entered into its campaign under
the personal direction Of David e. Full
wider, eIecLeu preSlaenC vi LIIo cruz
at it's first meeting, more than a week
ago. Mr.. Fulwider announced yester-
day that the club bids fair to be a
real power in the fight for better gov
ernment land civic decency in South
ern California"
The Progressive league is composed
entirely of young andactive men, law
students and practicing attorneys, who
organized, according to their plat
form, "for the purpose of getting in
line the new voters and interesting
them in the fight for good govern
ment."
"Their efforts" said Mr.. Fulwider,
will be to continue and sustain the
good work already begun in this city,
and extend it into the county. They
demand thorough and efficient busi-
ness administration of all officers, and
the extension of civil service to cover
all appointments.
"The league is in no way affiliated
with any other organization, con-
tinued Mr.. Fulwider, explaining the
prospects and purposes of the new or
ganization. "It is an Independent
body, whose sole aim is to labor un-
ceasingly for the cause of good, clean
government The members of our
league expect to indorse a ticket In
the pending campaign, and will do ac-
tive work in every precinct in the
county for the ticket they select.
''None but the best men on the
tickets of the old parties will be con-
sidered, and every mans record viii
be thoroughly investigated in order
that the league may stand squarely
behind him without the necessity of
an ultimate apology to the voters. |
believe that we will indorse many, II
not all, of the nominees Endorsed by
the Good Government organization, ex-
cept that we may go further and In
dorse q full ticket, which, of course,
we will have on the ticket at the gen
eral election November 8, in an in
dependent column. by petition.
"The league is to be a permanent or
ganization and will stand and work
for all projects in the city and county
that are for the best interests of the
community. We favor the consolida-
tion of city and county government.
Meetings will be held every We'd
nesday evening at 5S6 Stimson build
ing. Once a month an open meeting
and a dinner will be held at one OF the
downtown hotels"
Besides Mr.. Fulwider, the president
of the league the officers are G. A.

dents: Isadore Morris, secretary; wen

the machine and corrupt politics.

honest, competent and conscientious
man, such as Mr.. Woolwine.
"If there is any man in the state who
has repeatedly manifested his machine
affiliations and proved himself unfit to
occupy the bench of the state supreme
court, one of the highest offices in the
gift of the people and involving tre-
mendous responsibilities of public trust,
that man Is M. A. Melvin, the machine
incumbent whom the push managed
to nominate at the recent primary cleo
tlon. Judge M. c. Sloss, the other Re-
publican nominee, Is of course highly
satisfactory to the good government
forces; but we must defeat Melvin.
Hence I regard the action of the Good
Government organization In indorsing
William p. Lawlor and Benjamin F.
Bledsoe as one one of the most mag
nificent steps yet taken by two organ
ization, and everything possible will be
done to insure the election of these
nominees. The success of Lawlor and
Bledsoe insures the defeat of Melvin
and, naturally, insures also the success
of Justice Sloss.
I'VE expect to wage a strenuous con-
test for the election of every nominee
indorsed by the Good Government or
ganization, and believe the people will
stand by the organization in every in
stance. Coroner Hartwell, whose rec
ora ldS De6D LOO AIoQutHIly dApOSSu "
require a review, probably will get the
solid support of the machine; but we
have indorsed clean and competent
man against him, DIR. A. c. Pratt, who
has the added qualification of being a
reputable physician, which is highly
important In It's bearing on the system
and tactics OF the coroner's office. and
I am satisfied DR.. Pratt will be elected
by an overwhelming majority.
CANDIDATES ARE ENDORSED
"For judges, the Good Government
organization is going to work soul and
sinew for the election of Frank c. Fin
Lee stephens, the first two OF whom
are Republicans and the last named a
Democrat. It is the sense of the Good
Government organization that Gavin
Craig, the man who was indorsed and
nominated by the Lincoln Roosevelt
league, should be defeated.
"I am already mapping out the plans
for the campaign, and it will be a
strenuous one. We are going to make
a special effort also to insure the elec-
tion of Walter J. Desmond for tax COL

WIFE'S CHARGES GET MATE
60-DAY JAIL SENTENCE
Mrs. Frank A. Yoakum Accuses
Husband of DeSertion

Drunkenness, abuse and desertion Of
his wife caused Frank A. Yoakum of
Seventy first street and Compton ave-
nue., to be sentenced to sixty days in
the county Jail yesterday by Justice
Summerfield.
Yoakum's wife was the complaining
witness. She said her husband black
ened one of her eyes with a blow. AS
further evidence against him Mrs.
Yoakum presented the following letter,
alleged to have been written by hel
husband:
Carrie: 1 am gone for good. Be a
woman and don't murder me, for l will
die before ever do the chain gang.
Sell everything you want to, whatever
you want to, but don't set officers after
me, as 1 don't want to hurt anybody.
In a few days you can go home ana
get your deeds. Goodbye,
FRANK"
Justice Summerfield warned Yoakum
that IL he was ever brought up for a
similar charge again he would get the
limit OF the law.

REPUBLICANS FRIGHTENED
INTO GETTING TOGETHER

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept. 2O.-The
Lincoln Roosevelt league last night
closed the breach between the Repub~
lican organizations, which developed
last week, by the action in taking the
campaign of Johnson out of the hands
of the county organization, by indors-
ing the Republican county candidates.
There has been much talk on the part
of radical members of the league Of
boiling to the Democratic county can
didates, but the realization of the fact
that Bell is making a campaign that
indicates his election has caused them
to switch to the support of the county
candidates with the hope that the or
ganization will give it's entire support
to Johnson.
