The following official Endorsement OF
the candidacy of Captain Fredericks
was issued yesterday by the Republi-
can county central committee:
To voters of Los Angeles county:
The candidates of the Republi-
can party for state, county and
township offices, were selected by
freely and individually, in the
primary election of August 16,
1910. and at the same time dele
gates were elected to the Repub-
lican county convention.
At this convention, after due de-
liberation, platform Of principles
was adopted by the convention
and the county central committee
was selected, and to this commit
tee was entrusted the conduct of
the campaign in Los Angeles coun-
The Los Angeles county Re-
publican central committee Is,
therefore, the agent OF the Re-
publican voters of Los Angeles
county, charged with the duty OF
conducting a campaign within the
county of Los Angeles for the ac-
complishment OF the following OBJ
jects:
First-The adoption into law of
the principles declared by the Re-
publican convention to be the prin-
ciples of the Republican party OF
this county.
Second-The election to office of
each and every one Of the can
didates of the Republican party
named by the Republican voters
at the primary election above re-
ferred to.
SERIOUSNESS OF CHARGES
This simple statement of funda-
mental principles is made for the
purpose of clarifying any. confu-
sion that may have existed in the
public mind.
The Republican candidate for
the office of district attorney has
been subjected to special attacks
by his Democratic opponent. The
charges made are serious, If true,
of If not satisfactorily explained.
They require special attention,
and should and will receive care
ful consideration and reply by
the one most vitality concerned
the district attorney himself.
This committee has engaged
Simpson auditorium for Satur-
day night, October Is. At that
place-the same rostTum from
which the charges were made by
Mr.. Woolwine-Captain Fredericks
will publicly reply to each and eV-
ery charge made by his opponent.
Captain Fredericks will also re-
ply to Mr.. Woolwine from each OF
the other public halls where
charges have been made, in ample
time before election to permit ev-
cry one to determine these matters
for himself.
In the interest of fair play, in
the interest of the truth itself, we
appeal to the Republican voters to
hear, with unprejudiced minds,
what Captain Fredericks has to
say in his own behalf, and to
withhold their judgment until they
have heard both sides. A judge or
a Jury would be recreant to his
trust who would decide a case
before he had heard all the evil
dence. You, the voters, are the
Judges. Your decision, as ex-
pressed on November 8, will be
final From it there should be- and
can be, no appeal. Do not be hasty;
do not pre-judge.
Issued by order of the commit
tee.
RUSS AVERY, Chairman.
