Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-20

vim is regarded as triumph for the
machine which the good government
voters of California should not have
permitted. On the other hand, how
ever, the league members are enthuS-
iastic over the sweeping victory made
by the rest of the ticket, and particu-
larly over the nomination of M. C.
SlosS, who will occupy the supreme
court bench with Melvin.
With the exception of Melvin, and
possibly Richardson, the Lincoln
Roosevelt state ticket was nominated
in it's entirety.
In Los Angeles county, ]. D. Fred
ericks, district attorney, was remoni-
mated by the machine over Frank S.
Hutton, Lincoln Roosevelt candidate,
but the good government Democrats
and insurgent Republicans will now
unite on a common platform placing
Thomas Lee Woolwine, the Democrat
&c candidate for district attorney, on
the Good Government ticket, against
J. D. Fredericks, and this combined
good government vote of the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans is expected to
sweep Fredericks out of office at the
general election, November s.
With the nomination of Farwell and
Lamb practically assured, although by
small majorities, the Lincoln RooSe-
welt league has lost but one contest
for the state assembly, the leagues
candidate in the seventy-third-R. S.
Misunderstanding been defeated by
Henri H. Lyon, the notorious machine
politician who received the concentrat-
ed support of the eighth ward push"
For state senate, the league has
nominated all of it's three candidates,
Gates, Bell and Hewitt.
HAMMEL is WINNER
Sheriff Hammel, a regular Republic
can, has the nomination over M. H.
De La Monte, the league candidate.
This would not have happened, 1t is
said by many, If E. r. Werdin had
not wedged himself into the contest to
split the Republican sentiment; but un-
questionably Werdin drew his support
from Hammel and not from De La
Monte, so the elimination of Werdin
probably would have increased Ham
melS plurality.
L. D. Swartwout, league candidate
for county tax collector, also met de-
feat in his contest with the incumbent,
WEIGH, whose we'll organized machine
worked strenuously to renominate him.
E. E. Norton, league candidate for
public administrator, also was defeat
ed by Frank Bryson, machine candi-
date.
DR.. Sherwin Gibbons, one of the most
strenuous of the leagues campaigners,
has been defeated for the nomination
as coroner by Calvin Hartwell, push"
incumbent and one of the "big wheels
in the Republican machine OF Los An
geles.
William TRACER, league candidate,
has been defeated for police judge, and
George w. McDill, for township JUS
tice Of the peace-the incumbent, Rose,
having wrested the Republican nomi-
anton from the former.
With these exceptions the Lincoln
Roosevelt league has nominated its
state, county and legislative ticket and
the five exceptions named can derive
little satisfaction from their victory,
because it is we'll known that the hard
est fight is yet to come and in the
pending struggle the Democrats and
Republicans will join hands to elect
the third ticket" put up by the Good
Government (non-partisan) organiza-
ton, which will indorse the successful
Good Government Democratic candf-
dates running against the undesirable
Republican nominees, such as Freder-
icks, Lyon, WEIGH, Bryson and Hart
we'll.
A. M. Mcpherson, chief clerk Of the
hoard of supervisors, yesterday sent
ont subpoenas for the election boards
of sixty-six precincts, the returns OF
which had not been properly made, and
these boards will be asked to correct
their documents. Six election officers
also were subpoenaed from each pre-
cinct. SO altogether more than 400 Off
GERS will have to appear before the
supervisors and explain their errors.
