THE ORGANIZATION
1t is due to the complete organiza-
tion under which Dean has carried on
the work for Chairman Norton that
the decision of the appellate court did
not work complete havoc in the plans
of the office.
In order to carry out the campaign
it was necessary to obtain the services
of one capable of thoroughly organiz-
ing a large force of deputies into a
perfect working body, and Norton Sc
lected H. E. Dean, who had previously
assumed supervision of the nominating
petition campaign of Thomas Lee
Woolwine, Democratic candidate for
district attorney of Los Angeles county
the first county candidate to file a
completed petition with the county
clerk of this county.S
The campaign resulted in approx
mately $4,000 petitions being signed and
turned in by the small army of Veri-
fcation deputies These petitions were
submitted to a process of elimination,
so that burdensome bundles of unneces-
sary petitions not be unlOaded on the
county clerk for checking. 1t is esti-
mated by Dean that each petition in
the segregation, precincting, office
checking, binding into precincts, super
vision and compilation necessitated be-
ing handled not less than forty times
or in the aggregate over 100000 hand
lings. Up to this date there have been
filed and checked of by the county
clerk, as being sufficient, every petition
filed by Dean, amounting to twenty
eight petitions, the remaining petitions
not having been passed on yet, as the
county clerk has ten days to check,
but owing to the fact that the county
petitions are largely the same as the
petition of Lorin A. Handey, for con-
gress, which petition checked with a
comfortable margin, it is predicted that
every petition filed by Dean will pass
and the entire county, state and city
ticket will have complied with the pro-
vision of the primary law governing
the placing of the candidates name on
| the ballot
The Lincoln Roosevelt and other Re
publicans completed their petition work
/ Thursday afternoon in time for the
petitions to leave for the north early
| yesterday morning. These petitions
were taken to Sacramento by H. STAN
| ley Benedict, also deputized by the
county clerk for this duty The petit
tions will be filed at Sacramento this
morning.
