Members of Good Government Or
ganization Marvel at CirCu-
lar for Hebrews
ELDRlDGE BOOST ATTEMPTED
Campaign Managers Resort to
Peculiar Methods to Gain
Votes for Supervisor

Considerable indignation was ex-
pressed among officials and members of
the Los Angeles Good Government or
ganization yesterday when 1T became
known that Harry Lyon, a member
of the Good Government organization's s
central committee, but not prominent
in the work, has attached his name as
one Of the officials of an imaginary
STANDARD Republican Club" to cir
cular printed in the Hebrew language
and appealing to the Jewish voters of
Los Angeles to re-elect "TuS" FL
bridge as supervisor from the Third
district.
That Lyon has allowed his name to
be used in boosting the candidacy OF
"Tuss' Eldridge has been a great sur
prise to his friends, and has caused
considerable unfavorable comment
among the members of the Good Gov
ernment organization which, it is be-
lieved, will be asked to take action
in the matter
The circular letter signed by Lyon
states that "Eldridge has been the
friend of the Jews" All those who
reported having received copies of the
circular yesterday were highly 1ndlg-
nant, and stated that it had been done
to deceive a certain class of Jews
who, Lyon believed, we're not in close
touch with the political situation, and
therefore could be induced to support
the leader Of the "Solid Three"
JEWISH PEOPLE NOT DECEIVED
The Jewish people Of Los Angeles,
however, have taken an active part in
good government affairs and are well
versed in the present political situa-
tion. They are too loyal to the city,
and too intelligent to be deceived by
any such groundless appeal.
The circular sent out by Lyon was
translated by one of the prominent
Hebrews of Los Angeles yesterday
afternoon, and he gives the transla-
ton as follows:
EXTRA!
ITO all Jews from the Third super
visorial district: We appeal to all
Jews from this district that you come
to the mass meeting which will take
place Thursday, August IL, at 8 o'clock
p. M, at 933 Temple street, the pur-
pose Of which meeting is that we shall
Third district the one man who is with
us Jews. This one man Is only s.. L.
("Tuss) Eldridge. This man has
helped do good for all the Jews.
"Come all-come in masses-brine
your friends. Let us help elect Mr.
Eldridge for supervisor, then we will
have a true friend in the county. Mr.
ana OIISTS Will SpCoh' ASO
freshments free. Respectfully,
STANDARD REPUBLICAN CLUB

colin Roosevelt Republican league yes
terday charged that the polling place

at 1850 Temple street, situated in Pre-
cinct 48. The polling place in Pre-
