ANDERSON WAITING
FOR BELL TO RING
Parker in Town and Herrin Is
Coming From South With
Candidate Close Behind
Organization Dictator in Los AM
geIes Not Yet Recovered
From Dumping

The promise of action IN the organ
stations long deferred campaign for
Alden Anderson appears to be on fair
way toward redemption. Walter
Francis Xavier Parker. Herrin's Los
Angeles boss, is in town. Herrin him
e. self is expected To arrive from Los
Angeles today. Anderson is scheduled
TO return from the same place before
the sun sets.
Parker came from the east and gave
it out that he would continue his jour
ney TO Los Angeles tonight. Parker
has been seriously i'll. The humping
his organization received in the last
municipal election in Los Angeles did
nothing TO hasten his recovery. His
eastern trip was beneficial, but his con-
tour still lacks much Of its accustomed
rotundity.
When Parker left for the east it was
given out that he had gone TO fix up
the senatorial situation and that when
he returned Flints refusal to make the
race would be repealed. The same
brand of announcement heralded the
depart of Supreme Court Justice
1IenshaW. There was no formal an
nouncement of Elint's change of heart
Parker brought back a new decision on
the part of Flint he did not circulate
the information outside the circle Of
his immediate political friends and as
sociates.
WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL
Parker said that he had done moth
ing IN politics for A long time and
that il would be some time before he
got into action in the south. In so
fg
cerned Parker's statement of inactlv-
stv is borne out by the surrent reports.
His organization in Los Angeles. like
the machine forces in San Francisco,
has been marking time. That things
are to he changed next week is the
announcement from the Anderson
Headquarters and the fervent hope of
the machinemen. who have been wait
ing for the signal.
Anderson left last week for a trip
to Bakersfield. He was scheduled to
return Saturday He extended his trip
TO include Los Angeles. Herrin also
made q trip TO Los Angeles Both are
expected to be on the scene today,
and Parker's departure for Los Ange-
les is scheduled for tonight
The Lincoln Roosevelt league has

intentions and common honesty of
the membership of the republican
party of California (although in

has long been dominated by un-
republican infuences) the Lincoln
Roosevelt republican league invites
all republicans and citizens of the
state who believe in the principles
above enunciated to support the
league in it's efforts to carry out
those principles
LEVEY OUT FOR SENATE
The Endorsement of Assemblyman z.
J. Callan for the senate by the inde-
pendent republican club of the thirty
ninth assembly district and the Lincoln
Roosevelt leaguers of the fortieth dis
trict. has not dismayed Edgar c. Levey
who is hot footing for the republican
nomination to the seat lately occupied
by Gus Hartman. Levey is young
attorney. He was bond and warrant
clerk under District Attorney Langdon
His quest for senatorial honors is made
with an apparent understanding that
he viii have the support of neither the
machine nor anti-machine forces
Callan has pre-empted the Lincoln
Roosevelt support and il is generally
understood that Dan Curran is slated
for the machines good offices.
