CURRY'S MANAGER
CLAIMS THE SOUTH
Douglas White Comedies Only
Los Angeles County to john
son, With Secretary Second
Declares Democrats Registering
as Republicans TO Vote for
League Candidate

That Charles r Curry will carry
southern California as q whole and run
second TO Hiram W. Johnson only in
Los Angeles county is the net estimate
Of the republican primary situation
south of the Tehachapi, according to
Douglas White, manager of the Curry
campaign in Los Angeles county.
according TO White. who has been in
personal charge of the Curry cam
paign in Los Angeles for several
months, the lines are well defined in
southern California, and the only ma
terial changes to be expected are the
losses stanton viii suffer when the An
derson campalgn Organization turns its
attention from johnson and Curry and
put the screws on the speakers lieu
tenants.
; COMEDIES Los ANGELES
White freely comedies that Hiram w.
Johnson. the Lincoln Roosevelt league
candidate for governor. will carry
Les Angeles county. with Curry second.
stanton third and Anderson fourth.
For Curry. White also claims San
Diego. Riverside and San Bernardino
counties. and something better than a
hghting chance to hold Orange county.
In San Diego county, according to
White, Johnson will run a bad second
TO Curry. while neither Anderson nor
stanton will make even a good show
ing.
We have succeeded beyond our eX-
pectations in Los Angeles county," said
White Yesterday I'VE have today a
better organization in Los Angeles than
we expected TO be able to show on July
!. Los Angeles is a conservative COM
munity and we have worked conser-
vatirely with no noise. What we have
accomplished is largely due 10 the per-
Sonal hold Curry has on the people.
HREAE< WILL AFFECT STANTON
we have today the second best or
2anizatien ever perfected in Los An-
seies and every effort to break through
our lines has failed. The same coercive
measures tried on the Curry organiza-
tions in other parts Of the state have
been tried on us Probably we have not
seen the last OF them. The only ma
terial brea kdown to be expected in
q Los Angeles will be in the stanton
forces. The organization Will get some
. OF the Stanton vote for Anderson.
we conceded Los Angeles county to
johnson. The Lissner organiza ton is
the best Los Angeles has ever known.
L flciudFs the good government league,
and neither stanton nor Anderson viii
take that vote away from Johnson.
Many Of the democrats in the good gov
ernment league are registering as re-

ing.
Conceding that johnson will carry
Los Angeles county. Curry VIII carry
southern California by a comfortable
margin. In San Diego stanton and An
derson win do virtually nothing. The
county is in two camps-Curry and
JohnsOn-and Curry will carry it by
a wide margin. He will do the same
thing in Riverside and San Bernardino
counties. Orange and Santa Barbara
should be close counties, but SO far
Curry has long lead in Orange"
Anderson is expected to return to-
day from trip to San Bernardino
county. His headquarters at Kearny
and Post streets are to be opened today.
and it is promised that his petition will
be started through the state immedi-
ately. His petition has been sent out
for week IN San Francisco. The
ratio of signatures taken by the verifi-
cation deputies at the registrars office,
while in no wise conclusive, furnishes
basis for the politicians computa-
tions and forecasts.
CURRY AHEAD IN SIGNATURES
Many electors refuse to sign for the
verifcation deputies and go to the
headquarters of their favorite candi-
date, there 10 pledge their support by
signing a nominating affidavit. At the
registrars Office last week Curry had
decidedly the best of it, while the
johnson petition attracted more sign
erss than did Anderson's. Nor was it
the fault of Anderson's Veriflcation
deputies. who worked as persistently
and fss1hfully az dis the representa-
tives of Johnson and Curry
