STANTON RETURNS FROM
CAMPAIGNING IN NORTH
Candidate Declares He Is in the
Race to Stay

Phil A. Stanton, candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor
has returned from an extended tour OF
Northern California. where he has been
endeavoring to persuade the push Re
publicans that he is the logical push
candidate. Stanton seemed enthust-
astic yesterday as to his prospects,
and smiled when the various claims
of the opposing gubernatorial candi-
dates were called to his attention, He
denied that he intended to drop out of
the race.
"I am candidate for the nomination
as governor of California" said Mr..
stanton, land all this rubbish about
me dropping out of the race is not
worth while discussing. I am going
to surprise a few of my enemies when
L go to the primaries
Stanton seemed in excellent health
and appeared to be exuberant over his
prospects. The same can be said OF
Nathan Ellery, Alden Anderson and
Charles Curry, all of whom are waging
strenuous fights.

CIRCULATION Of LEAGUE
PETITIONS UNDER WAY
Fifty Deputies Begin Undertaking
Made Hard by New Pri-
mary Law

The Los Angeles Lincoln-R Roosevelt
league has begun the circulation of its
candidates petitions, and forty-nine
different state, congressional, legisla-
tive, county and township petitions,
requiring a total of about 1000 names,
are now being circulated by an army
of fifty verification deputies. The petit
tions are also on file at the headquar-
ters of the league, in the Rindge build
ing, Third and Broadway, and in front
of the city hall, where those who desire
to sign the list before the veri1cation
deputy can do so, and thus facilitate
the work.
Secretary Kemper B. Campbell of the
league stated yesterday that the task
would be a tremendous one, as the
boundary lines of the various assembly,
senatorial, legislative, judicial, super
visorial, county and township districts
bear absolutely no relation to each 9TH
er, and so complicate the work under
the new direct primary law that a
great deal of care and hard work are
involved in the circulation of each doc
ument.
Mr. Campbell issued statement yes
terday calling the attention of the
voters to the complications of the new
system, and criticising the primary law
which has resulted in the present diff
cult problems. Mr. CampbelFs state
ment is as follows
LAS the public Is fully aware, the
California direct primary law was
framed by it's enemies. The act was
passed in response to an oVerWhelm-
ing popular demand, aroused by ag1ta-
tion in this state by the progressive
wing of the Republican party, the Lin
coin Roosevelt Republican league. IL
was the desire of the S. p. machine leg
islators in passing the bill to nedge II
about with cumbersome methods anu
to make it as burdensome and lnenect-
i've as possible, the evident purpose be-
ing to discourage good men from be-
coming candidates for office, while at
the same time, as they supposed, rem
dering it easy for s. p. machine candl-
dates, by concerted action, to erect
their nominations.
"Much to the CONSERVATION of the
machine forces, the S, P. organization
has not dared to organize and tnelr
petitions must of necessity be circulat-
ed separately and in an expensive, pur-
densome and dilatory manner. In the
wild efforts of the S. p. bosses to de-
feat the will of the people the direct
primary law, which the people COM
pelled the legislature to pass, they nave
placed upon themselves the greater
burden, and have unwittingly given the
cause of popular government a declded
advantage in one respect, at least.
"By the plan which l nave auopteu
for the circulation of petitions in Los
Angeles county, which plan can only
be carried out through such medium
as the Lincoln Roosevelt Republican
league, the cost and labor of circula,,-
ton will be reduced one-half and VIII
greatly minimize the burden upon the
Voters. While our present direct pri-
mary law will succeed in freeing us
from the domination of the interests
If is to be hoped that the next legis-
Iature will accomplish further needed
reforms in the method of direct nom
nation"

F. G. FlNLAYS0N ACCEPTS
JUDGESHIP ENDORSEMENT
Is LinCoIn-Roosevelt Candidate
for Nomination to Bench

Frank G. Finlayson. indorsed by the
Los Angeles Lincoln-R Roosevelt league
as a candidate for the nomination to
the superior court bench, yesterday
wrote the league accepting its indorse-
ment. Mr.. Finlayson's letter Is as fol-
lows:
ITO the executive committee of the
Lincoln Roosevelt Republican league
of Los Angeles county, Cal.
"Gentlemen-Please accept my
thanks for your Endorsement of me
as a candidate for one of the three
offices of superior court judge of Los
Angeles county to be filled by the vot-
ers of the county at the forthcoming
election. AS this Endorsement came
unsought, it is to me doubly grattfy-
ing honor. To the best of my powers
l shall strive to show that your con-
fidence in me is well placed.
with the patriotic spirit and aims
of the Lincoln Roosevelt league, as
we'll as with every plank in the
leagues platform, am in hearty ac-
cord.
1T is serious conviction that the ju-
dicial office, for which you have SO
kindly indorsed me, should be entirely
divorced from partisan politics. There
fore l earnestly hope that in the near
future our election laws, with respect
to the judiciary at least, will be so i'm
proved that nominees for the office of
Judge can go before the people solely
without regard to their political af-
filiations. He who Is chosen by his
fellows to expound their laws and ad-
judicate their rights of person and
property is charged with so sacred a
trust that he must ever guard himself
against the possible bias and preju-
dices of party contentious.
KNOWING that the Lincoln -Roose-
Welt Republican league is in hearty ac-
cord with these sentiments, and fully
appreciating the honor of its indorse-
ment. I remain. very truly yours
FRANK G.. FINLAYSON."

JAPANESE PAPER IS OUT
WITH BOOST FOR STANTON

Phil A. Stanton, who is making his
run for the governorship on a plat
form catering to the citrus fruit in
terests, and who, it has been frequent
ly charged and never formally denied,
is making his strongest fight on a pro-
Japanese platform, has received the
unqualified support of the leading
Japanese newspaper of the Pacific
coast, known as 1.-The Morning Sum-
and published at San Francisco.
Last week the Morning Sun came out
with two articles, one in English and
one in Japanese, urging the election of
Stanton. About one-fourth of the pa
per is filled up with boost for Stanton,
and when the article was shown to a
Japanese yesterday, he interpreted It,,
in part, to read that ''if the Japanese
of California all had vote, Stanton
would be elected by large majority

EXPLAINS LICENSE ORDINANCE

"The lighting corporations are making
threats that they will retard the develop
ment of Los Angeles. They are trying
to bulIdoze and intiniidate the voters
into sustaining the present exOrbitant
lighting rates by holding as club over
US the statement that If the 7-cent rate
ordinance is not repealed they will re-
fuse to lay extensions to all new tracts
and that by other curtailments they will
check the prosperity and growth Of our
city.
Everyone knows that except for few
instances in which they have shown
favoritism to several real estate interests,
they have never made an extension for
which they did not charge. 1 make the
assertion based on the proof of our city

mated against many new tracts, and that
in the past they have seriously retarded

All the Latest News and Notes in the Realm of Politics

1t is not intended to impose a tax on
workingmen and others, as has been
claimed by the agents of the corpora
tiOns, who have gone about the city
telling bookkeepers, teamsters, once
employees, clerks, etc, that the business
license ordinance will compel them
to pay a license to work for their bread
and butter.
He denounced this as a political lie,
and explained that the ordinance Is
to equalize the burden of municipal
taxation, and to make business con-
Germs pay a license according to their
earnings.
Under the present law, a man doing
a business of $1,000 a month is com
PEELED to pay about the same license
as the man who does business OF
$1,000 a month, and under the pro-
posed new license, to be voted on at
the election June 30 each business will
be taxed according to it's gross re-
ceipts, on the basis of one-third OF
1 per cent, which will result in the
man who does a $4,000 business pay
ing a much smaller license than now,
but which will cause the man who does
n S50,O00 business to pay larger tax,
thus reducing the burden of the small
er concerns, increasing justly the
revenues from the larger corporations

This story is said to have been told in
the smoking.room of transatlantic
liner: The young Marquis of Anglesey,
who died in Monte Carlo some five years
ago, went to extremes in everything. He
was very Intelligent, though. Once, at
his historic castle in Wales there was a
slight fire. So, lest the priceless pile
burn down, he ordered an enormous
quantity of hand grenades, or extinguish-
ers, from London. When the grenades
arrived they were hung all over the
castle, but though 1t was an enormous
place, there were still several dozen
grenades left over at the end Of hanging.
"And what shall l do with them. my
lordp" the butler asked. Lord Anglesey
coughed-he was already in pretty bad
way-and said dryly to the butler: "You
may put them in my coffin."
