LEAGUE PETITION
WORK IS STARTED
Headquarters Buzzing with ACtiv-
ity as Candidates Papers
Are Being Circulated

Kemper B. Campbell, secretary Of the
Los Angeles Lincoln-R Repub-
lican league, announced yesterday that
the circulation of the various candi-
dates petitions is we'll under way, and
the headquarters of the league, on the
third floor of the Rindge building,
Third and Broadway, where the Pc
titions are segregated according to pre-
cincts, presents an unusually busy ap-
pearance. One room, which has here
tofore been used for meetings OF the
executive and county central commit
tees, has been turned over to the ham
ding of petitions of candidates. Peti-
tions are being handled simultaneous
ly for between forty and fifty diff
erent candidates, in seventeen or elgh-
teen different territorial districts.
The system for handling these petit
tions was thoroughly worked out and
arranged by Mr.. Campbell long in ad-
vance, and every detail prearranged.
Within two days after the county tic
ket was completed, the petitions were
printed and ready for circulation, bound
in books and arranged in accordance
with number required in precincts in
which circulation was to be made.
Some seventy-five or eighty certifica-
tion deputies have qualified for the
circulation of these petitions. The pa
pers required to be filed for this alone
number between three and four thou
sand. Petitions of candidates for state
offices indorsed by the Lincoln-Roose-
velt Republican league will be filed
by Mr.. Campbell either Monday or
Tuesday, and will aggregate some fif-
teen thousand signatures, all of which
have been obtained in three days time.
The petitions of candidates for county
and township offices indorsed by the
Lincoln Roosevelt Republican league
will be ready for filing about the mid
die of next week. All of these petit
tions will have been obtained in six
days time. They will aggregate over
fifty thousand signatures.
THE RESULTS
"I am greatly gratified," said Mr..
Campbell, 'over the results of our two
days canvass for signatures to petit
tions of candidates indorsed by the
Lincoln Roosevelt Republican league.
Although the county of Los Angeles
has been for the last three or four
months covered by hordes of verification
deputies, importuning voters to sign
the petitions of all kinds Of candidates,
we are finding no difficulty whatever
in securing in a remarkably snort time
more signatures than are necessary.
I'm fact, we are receiving many
telephone calls of those who are anx-
ious to assist by signing petitions Of
the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league candidates, which assistance Is
very greatly appreciated by our corr
of verification deputies. The result OF
the canvass already has assured the
election of a complete reform delega-
tion to the legislature from Los An
geles county. The new direct pri-
mary law will accomplish this result.
After the election of the next legisla-
ture, changes will be made in the di-
rect primary law, rendering 1t more
simple and still more effective"
In answer to a similar letter to that
addressed to the clerk and district at
torney of Los Angeles county, Mr..
Campbell is in receipt of the following
