Los Angeles herald., 1910-04-24

is believed he will become the Demo-
cratic candidate. In this district, also,
as in a number Of others mentioned,
the Republican machine has been un-
able so far to find a man willing to
enter the contest.
c. O. Hawley Is Democratic candi-
date for the nomination to the assem-
bly, in the Seventy-second district Mr.
Hawley made many friends for his
well remembered crusade against the
loan sharks" In the race for the as
sembly in the Seventy-scond district
also probably will be Arthur Kinney,
a member of the board of directors of
the chamber of commerce, who un-
doubtedly will get the support of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league If he con-
sents to run. Otto Rech already has
announced his candidacy. Friends of
former Councilman Walter Wren also
are urging him to become candidate
for the assembly in this district.
In the Seventy third assemly district
Jake Transue. of course, is a candi-
date for recollection and expects the
hearty support of the Southern Pa
cifc for his faithful services in the
last legislature; but the machine is
wary and It Is reported "de gang may
not back Transue because he is too
deeply dyed in the ink of the S. P. illS.
The cat hoped from the bag last
night when it was learned definitely
that Henry Lyon, who has virtually
abandoned the race for the city coun-
ell and turned his "chances" over to
Doc" Houghton, had decided to try
for the assembly in the Seventy-third
district.
The machine is in favor of Mr.. Lyon
and Transue therefore can get no help
from it.
When the rumor was first circulated
that Mr.. Lyon would abandon the race
for the council The Herald predicted
he would do so at the urgent request
of the machine to make the race for
the assembly. Mr.. Lyon last night re-
fused to make a statement, but ad-
mitted he 'is considering such a
course"
FLEMING MAY MAKE RACE
But the real candidate in the Sew
enty-third district will be E. ]. F1em-
ing, say the Lincoln Roosevelt men.
Mr.. Fleming formerly was prosecuting
attorney of Los Angeles and the Lin
coin Roosevelt league and his friends
are urging him to try for the assem-
bly, He undoubtedly will be indorsed
by the league, say his friends, and if
he enters the race it is quite probable
adhere to his original quest for the
council. In this district also it seems
probable Police Commissioner John
Topham will be the Democratic can
didate for the assembly and the Dem
ocrats are confident they will have put
up the best man available If he con-
sents to try for the nomination.
No definite announcement has been
made relative TO the candidates in the
Seventy fourth assembly district, but
former Assemblyman Hanlon, ma
chine Republican. is expected to come
out for reelection. Frank S. Hutton
is spoken of among the leaders of the
Lincoln Roosevelt league, and it is said
If he consents to run he will get the
leagues Endorsement.
In the Seventy y-fifth district the ma
chine is backing Deputy District Attor-
ney Percy Harmon, former assembly
man, who hopes to be reelected. An
effort has been made to get S. c. Gra-
ham to run and he has been promised
the support of the Lincoln Roosevelt
league if he consents to enter the con-
test with Harmon. Louis Guernsey is
the Democratic candidate for assembly
in this district.
