RY 7. sHELLEY sUTToN

George Baker Anderson, secretary of
the Good Government organization,
stated yesterday afternoon that a large
corps of special verifcation deputies
will be put to work Immediately to Sc
cure signatures for the petitions of the
candidates indorsed by the organiza-
tion Monday. He also stated that
deputy will be stationed at the Good
Government headquarters, 31S Fay
building, and at the city hall.
1.-THE campaign will be the most Wig
orous that we have ever conducted in
this county," said Mr. Anderson. I'VE
| have about completed final arrange
ments for the general campaign, and
are now considering the work outlined
by the individual candidates.
Thomas Lee Woolwine, our nominee
for district attorney against ]. d. Fred
ericks, incumbent, has prepared for a
particularly strenuous fight and is very
| anxious to get started. We have urged
him, however. to wait until our organ
ization has definitely devised its course
| of action.
"Mr. Woolwine is receiving a great
deal OF encouragement from voters of
all parties throughout the county. Both
| Democrats and Republicans seem to be
determined that the system which now
prevails in the district attorneys office
shall not continue and that j. D. Fred
ericks, the man who has done more
| perhaps than any other man in South-
| ern California to sustain the machine,
shall not be re- elected to that most I'M
portant position of public trust.
wooLwINE's RECORD CLEAN
"If there is any man in all of Los
Angeles county who Is pre-emlnentiy
| fitted by virtue of his moral and pusl-
ness character to occupy that office II
| is Mr. Woolwine. 1t will AFFORD me
| intense satisfaction to be able to work
| diligently for the success or so cleah
and competent a candidate, especially
as that candidate himself has so long
been an earnest and strenuous worker
in the Good Government organization
at times even sacrificing his law prac-
tice and denying himself much-need-
ed vacation to expose corruption Wher-
| ever ii appeared to him, and at the
same time to upbuild and encourage
the Good Government movement.
"As we all know, Mr.. Woolwine mas
done as much to defeat the machine as
| Mr. Fredericks has done to maintain 1t.
His record as citizen and as an ad-
yocate of civic purity should insure him
the support of every man who lays
claim to home pride and decency.
"Dr. A. c. Pratt, our nominee TOT
county coroner, not only is more nttea
| 10 act as coroner IOT SUCll ~ NOdiA1S
as Los Angeles by virtue OF the fact
| that he is a reputable physician, which
| Coroner Hartwell is not, but Is more
| entitled to the support of our decency-
loving citizens because he Is man
of integrity and established exper-
ience: neither has he ever been ami
| lated with pernicious politicians of the
g p tvpe. He has always been
actively and aggressively a good gov
ernment man, and in the political
nartv which gave him his nomination
! he has. long been recognized as one
of the most fearless and able leaders
in the crusade to rid that party OF cor
rupt influences. The same also may
be said of Edwin c. Mayhan, our can
| didate for the assembly from the sew
enty- third district.
BEST MEN INDoRsED
''For superior judges the Good Gov
ernment organization mas lnoo[sso s,,o
four of the cleanest and best men VINO
ever sought to preside in any court
of This district, Frank G. Finlayson,
John Perry Wood, Albert Lee Steph-
ems and (for the short term) Lewis II,
works, all of whom have been for
years prominently identified with the
| good government movement.
| .sT1be GOOD government movement
has radiated from Los Angeles clty
throughout the county. and from Los
Angeles county it has extended into
| the entire state. That is why we pe-
Iieve our organization will not only
have little difficulty in electing tnose
candidates. on the county tickets Wlilc. ~
| II has indorsed, but likewise that II
viii exert a tremendous influence in
behalf of the two candidates on the
| state ticket, which it has also IN
| dorsed. namely, Benjamin #. Bledsoe
| and w. p. Lawlor, nominees for asso-
ciate justices of the supreme court.
| 'T have taken part in the crussoe
| for better government III potn S s
Francisco and Los Angeles, and 1t mas
been a source of many gratifying sur,
nrises to observe how steadily ana
| how strongly the good government
non-partisan movement is extending.
INFLUENCE FAR FELT
"our influence is felt beyond the
boundaries of the county, and I believe
IL will be a great factor In insurlng
the election of Bledsoe and Lawlor'
AS for the candidates indorsed on the
Good Government ticket for superior
! Judges. Frank G. Ftnlayson, AlperS
| Lee stephens, John Perry Wood ana
| (for the short terrn) Lewis r. works;
there is every indication that we VIII
elect them without any difficulty.
0This ticket is going into the feld
as a nom partisan ticket. The fact
| that its men have been nominated py
the Republican or by the Democratic
party will have no recognition In our
pending campaign, To this organiza-
tion they are neither Democrats nor
| Penublicans, but merely clean and
trustworthy candidates for public Of
fce-candidates of whom the Good
| Government organization will not have
cause to be ashamed.
eve urge the voters of Los Angeles,
to get together in their support OF
the Good Government ticket, remem-
harine that the candidates thereon
have been drawn from both parties
and indorsed because Of their superior
| characters. Let us lay partisanship
| aside In this struggle to complete the
victory of the reform forces, and labor
patiently and diligently for the sue
