MAYHAM OUT FOR
STATE ASSEMBLY
Prominent Contractor Is Indorsed
by Democrats as Candidate
from 73d District

Edwin A. Mayham, a prominent con-
tractor and insurance adjuster, who
has been leading Democratic worker
in the Seventh ward for the last eight
years, has announced himself as the
Democratic candidate for the state as
sembly in the Seventy-third district,
and it was stated yesterday by Albert
M. Norton, chairman of the Los An
geles Democratic county central com
mittee, that he would receive the full
support of the Democracy of Los Ange-
les county in his fight for the election
to the assembly from this district.
"Mr. Mayham has always been on
the side of clean Democracy" said Mr..
Norton yesterday "and is regarded as
one of our ablest candidates He is a
delegate to the Building Trades coun-
ell, and also to the Central Labor coun-
ell, and a member of the executive
board of the Building Trades council.
He is from one of the most prominent
families in New York, and has an uncle
on the bench of the court of appeals
in that state. He is a good campaigner,
q conscientious Democrat devoted to
Los Angeles and familiar with its de-
velopment, needs and prospects, and If
elected he will support good govern
ment movements favored by the people
of Los Angeles"
Mr.. Mayham's opponents are j. p.
Transue and Henry Lyons, machine
Republicans, and r. S. Saunders, the
Lincoln Roosevelt league candidate. 1t
has been claimed by the Republicans
that Lyons has retired from the race,
and this report is backed up by his
opponent, j. p. Transue, but Lyons
yesterday denied it. 1t is admitted,
however, that he has ceased to make a
fight for the nomination, and has con-
ceded the contest to someone else-be-
lieving, undoubtedly, that Mr.. Saun-
ders, the league candidate, has the
nomination virtually in his hand.
Mr.. Mayham says he doesn't care
how the Republican nomination goes,
and that he is not interested in the
question of whether Lyons remains in
the fight or not, as he considers the
Seventy third assembly district unques
tionably Democratic, and expects to be
elected regardless of his Republican
opponent.

lar Republican candidate to succeed

dates opposing Judge Hervey are f.
G.. Finlayson, Gavin w Craig and j.
Perry Wood. The contest promises to
be exceptionally strenuous, and it is
claimed by the many advocates of the
non-partisan judiciary reform that the
pending struggle for the superior bench,
involving incumbents and other can
didates for this high office, will do a
great deal to emphasize the need of
such a reform and hasten its adop-
ton.
Judge Hervey was born in somer-
vile, Tenn, March 26, 1870. and was
educated at Central Collegiate insti-
tute, University of Arkansas, Univer-
sity of Virginia and University of
Michigan. He is a graduate in law,
and since 1898 has been practicing in

retary Of the Los Angeles Bar as
sociation, and for some time was man
aging vice president of the American
National bank and vice president of
the American Savings bank. He is
also a member of the California, Jona-
than and University clubs and of the
chamber of commerce, He was ap-
pointed judge of the superior court in
1909 to fill a vacancy, and during his
first year on the bench tried more than
300 cases.

a serious question being asked by the
postmaster at Alameda, according to
a northern exchange. A letter was re-
ceived there addressed to Andrew B.
Kelley, Republican candidate for gov
ernor," and the postmaster sent the
letter to Republican headquarters at
San Francisco. No one in the north
ern city seems to know him, however.
But there are really so many Repub-
ncans in the present gubernatorial
contest that 1t is difficult to keep track
of them. And yet-if Kelley should
get the nomination.? 1t is hardly
probable, though

S. P. MACHINE TO HOLD
ALLEGED CONVENTION

The machine Republicans of the
county committee, so-called regulars,
have called a county convention for
August 27 to be held in the old Elks'
hall on Spring street. AS there will
be no county ticket to nominate, be-
cause the people and not the S. P.
will name their tickets this year, 1t
will be interesting to learn just what
business the machine convention ex-
poets to transact. The ratio fixed for
the county convention is one delegate
for each fifty votes cast for Grant as
presidential elector. The affair is ex-
pected, therefore, to pass off with all
due harmony and without much stren-
uous ado.

REFUSED NEW YORK OFFICE


Mr.. Guernsey was born in Pough
l1eepsie, N. Y, July 4, 1888, and has
lived in Los Angeles since 1904. He
was at one time a prominent news
paper man of Texas and Arizona, and
at present is the Democratic candidate
here for the state assembly in the
Seventy-fifth district. Mr.. Guernsey
was for some time secretary to former
Lieutenant Governor Louis S. Chan
Ter of New York, and was at one time
secretary of the Democratic county
central committee of Dutchess county
New York. He refused the Demo-
cratic nomination to the New York
state assembly in order to come west.
He was educated at Brown university,
where for a number of years he was
prominent in athletics as well as in
oratorical contests, and attained ma
tional reputation as a devotee of va
rious sports.
Mr.. Guernsey is a member of the
Gamut club of Los Angeles, an active
member of the City club, and belongs
to the Los Angeles Athletic club, in
which organization he takes a deep in
terest, believing that "a sound mind
goes with sound body" He is also
an active member of the Jefferson
club, the Good Government organiza-
tion and the chamber of commerce.
He has become widely known in col
lege circles here, ana Is a memDer OF
the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, and
also belongs to the Southern California
Alumni association, the Brown Uni
versity association and the New Eng
land College association. He has done
much efficient work in the interest of
Kidding the Democratic party here of
the S. P. influence, and has done much
to bring that party up to its present
high standard. He has also taken an
active part in the Good Government
crusades here, and his friends are con-
fident that he will be remembered for
his work by receiving the honor now
sought for him. 1t is urged also that
he has had a great deal of valuable ex-
perience in politics and is particularly
adapted for the strenuous position of
the secretaryship of the Good Gov
ernment organization, which is con-
sidered to be one of the most important
political offices in the county.
