WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT mas appeaFeu
before the American people once too
often. He and his candidate, II. l..
Stimson, are now nursing wounds as
the result OF yesterdays election. The
defeat of Stin,son is the virtual repudla-
ton of Roosevelt, and his new nation
aIism," the rag baby he has been
dangling, is DOW lying in state. A
large majority OF the suffragans OF
New York have shown their preference
for J. A. Dix, the democratic candl-
date for governor. The former presi-
dent OF he.Unitcd States has for some
time INDUCED the dream that he carried
the majority OF the votes of the Unlted
States in his pocket. The country has
simply grown tired of his assumptions,
and has, very properly, turned HIM and
his candidate down. From present
indications, Mr.. Roosevelt has seen
day and he will be compelled to step
aside and take his place among the
''has beens." During his career he
seems to have had Admirable Crichton
as his ideal, and, while minus the genius
OF that worthy, started out TO excel
his fellowmen in everything. His career
has been phenomenal, but the
recession in the tide Of luck has set IN,
and he will soon be soliloquising over
the words OF the late Horace Greeley
fame is vapor, Reputation an accl-
dent Caesarism was in evidence in
1876, when Ulysses S. Grant was the
receptive candidate for the nomination
for third term as president of the
United States. Roscoe Conkling at,
tempting to foist Grant upon the coun'
try for the third time, but the bulk Of
the delegates in the convention flinched
at such proposition, and Conkllng,
with all the influence he welded at
that time, saw his candidate showed
under. The country was not ready for
such a coup d. etat at that time, and
it seems they have not revised their
opinions. The republican party has
for years suffered the ex-president to
dominate them to such an extent as 10
make them no more nor less than silly
sheep following a bell wether. They
have allowed this aggressive individual
to capture their conventions and selec'
candidates after his own liking, and
this, too, in the face Of earnest cries for
deliverance from the cruel oppression
OF party from which honest men are
deserving daily The result OF the cleo
ton is naturally hailed with great salts

HIGH AUTHORITY ON
REALTY AND TRUST LAW
Judge w. H. JamiS0n. Pioneer
Attorney and Prominent in
Business and Social Life

Judge lillian II. Jamison is among
the pioneers of the Los Angeles bar.
Tor the past eighteen years he has
been closely identified with the larger
interests Of this community, figuring
prominently in it's professional and
commercial life
Judge Jamisou was born March 12,
1869 at Plalnwcu. Mich. son Of Flea
zer ". and catherine CShoarel) Jami-
son. After an early education in the
grammar and high schools OF Grand
Rapids he pursued literary and legal
studies in the University Of Michigan,
from which he graduated in 1889.
Thereafter he engaged in the practice
Of his profession at Grand Rapids,
whore he was married, September 9,
1892. to Abbie Norton But carly roa-
Iizing that the west offered a vastar
field for a real estate lawyer. the
judge gave up his Michigan practice
and in 1892 removed to Los Angeles.
Judge Jamison's long career in this
city is well known. During the years
of his residence here he has been an
important factor in our city's progress.
Immediately upon his arrival here he
became examining attorney for the
Guarantee Abstract company, and
later, for a period Of ton years. he was
associate counsel for the Title In
surance and Trust company. He con-
tinued in that responsible position un-
til 1908, when Governor Gillett ap-
pointed him judge Of the superior court
OF Los Angeles county. That the ap-
pointment was altogether fclicitous is
apparent from the general approval
that the judges service on the bench
met with both from the bar and from
the people Of the community At tho
close Of his term as Judge he became
general counsel for the Los Angeles
Abstract and Trust company. filing
that position until some months ago,
when he resumed the general practice
Of the law, with offices in suite 613
H. ". Hellman building.
At present the judge enjoys an ex-
tensive and lucrative practice. Hard
and careful study, years Of valuable
experience and AN exceptional ability
have brought him to the front among
the leaders of our bar He is recog-
nized by the bar and by the business
men Of our city as an authority on
trust, real estate and probate law. BY
reason Of his long experience IN the
handling of trust matters, and with
all phases of the business as we'll as

he has become peculiarly qualified to
formulate and carry TO q successful
conclusion any land deals and promo
ton matters. His thorough knowledge
Of these branches If the law well fit

comes up steadily through the new era
to the present day.
After the northern placers and the
Comstock days had been pretty well
spent prospectors and mining men in
general turned their attention to the
southwest, uniting forces with the old
miners of this region in further ex-
plotting the mines and prospecting for
others. Thus the industry centering
around Los Angeles has gone steadily
forward with the city as the mining
hub, gaining prestige and profiting
financially therefrom. Had it not been
for the mines tributary to Los Angeles
the city would not be the metropolis it
is today.
Money now being invested in real
estate, and that has been invested in
real estate FOR many years. has come.
in large degree, at least, from profits
derived from mines of this region. The
Bradbury building, one Of the first big
buildings i'm the city. was erected from
such profits. and many like incidents
could be cited. Factories have been
started and made to thrive through

territory was opened to Los Angeles
merchants. Supplies for many OIL the
camps of the west coast that had been
going down the coast from San Fran
cisco by boat were turned to Los An
geles. This soon became the base OF
supplies for the country long held by
other cities and the city is gradually
enlarging upon its mining territory.
There is scarcely a mining man OF
the southwest but visits here at least
once a year. and when he makes a
large stake he usually comes here to
live permanently. Like a magnet this
city draws all to its bounds and some
of the large mining companies of the
southwest have their headquarters in
Los Angeles.
The history of Los Angeles as the
mining hub of the southwest is the
history of the entire region and cannot
be told without including the entire
region. Tt has its roots in the history

vada and the west coast. Look around
