DEMOCRATS ARE IN
TRIM FOR BATTLE
Norton Says Organization Is in
Condition to Wage the
County Campaign
HAS MACHINE HANDCUFFED
Party Will Have But Two Con-
tests at Primaries, De-
CIares Secretary
HAS MACHINE HANDCUFFED

Democratic headquarters at 418 Fay
building, Third and Hill streets, have
assumed an exceptionally busy appear
ance during the last few days, and
Albert NJ. Norton, chairman of the Los
Angeles county Democratic central
committee, is one of the busiest men
in Los Angeles, the work of circulating
and checking up The petitions of the
many state and county candidates no
sooner having ended than he was
called on to prepare for the primary
election and to outline the campaign
of the county candidates.
Il am glad that our organization IS
in such good shape" said Mr.. Norton
yesterday, for it will materially aid
US to conduct the proper campaign
and will facilitate the pre-prlmafy
fight Unlike the Republicans, we are
not called on to get together and TO
oVerwork in order to line up our
county forces, for the reason that we
prepared for the present complications
and emergencies some weeks ago and
now have men in every part OF the
county on whom we can rely and with
whom we keep in constant touch TO
carry out the details of the fight.
"There will be but two contests at
the primaries, and we have so ar
ranged it that the S. P. candidates,
who have laid claim to Democratic
principles, will not have single
chance to interfere. With the eXcep-
ton of the two contests 1 have men
toned the Democrats will nominate
their ticket without trouble, and these
two contests are unimportant, for L
believe the voters of Los Angeles
county understand the situation and
will stand by the Endorsements of the
county conference.
I'VE may have a little trouble from
Henry Mcdonald, the so-called Demo-
crat, who tried to corner all the sig
natures on his petition, to defeat the
regular Democratic candidate oppos-
ing him, Martin Bekins, but McDon-
AIDS bluff won't keep the Democrats
from nominating the right man.
1--WE have perfected an organization
which / must say-although 1 am
chairman-is truly remarkable, and
speaks we'll for the willingness and
loyalty of the rank and file of the
Democracy of Los Angeles county.
I'm Pasadena, for instance, we have
several pioneer Democrats now en-
gagged strenuously helping us who have
not previously taken part in active
Democratic organization work since
the days of stephen White.
1.-THE Democrats of Long Beach,
w nlILler, ReuOHuO, CdHld hOIllCei, san
Pedro and at Alhambra and Sawtelle
are doing great work, and reports
from those places indicate that we will
poll one of the heaviest votes at the
general election, if not at the primar-
les, that we have ever polled in the
history of this county"
In addition to the work of preparing
for the primary campaign Mr.. Norton
and his assistants are busy arranging
for the visits to Los Angeles of City
Attorney Thomas Anderson of ST.
Louis and of Congressman Lloyd of
Missouri, who are due here within the
next two weeks to make speeches, and
who will be rendered public receptions
and banquets at Levy's or elsewhere.

ACCUSED EMBEZZLER
IS STOCK SPECULAT0R
Warrant Charges Ropke with a
Shortage of $4,000

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 11.-Speeu-
lation in stocks is alleged to have been
the cause of the arrest today of Aug
ust Ropke, assistant secretary of the
Fidelity Trust company, on a charge
of embezzlement Although it is
charged in the warrant that Ropke is
short $4,000, experts are still at work
on his books and the full amount of
the shortage will be made known
later.
Ropke was regarded as the boldest
speculator Louisville has known in
many years. 1t was reported among
brokers that he won over 100000 last
year, but lost heavily this year. The
slump in securities during the last six
months is said to have been his un-
doing.
Ropke has been in the employ of the
Fidelity Trust company for eighteen
years. He is a director in the Toledo
Railways and Light company and is
said to be the owner of several thou
sand shares of that company's stock,

Swimming away, with grin of inno-

TRIED TO BUY US, SAYS
NEWSPAPER Of MACHINE
Riverside Press Declares S. P.
Road Roller Outfit Offered
Sum for 'FIopping'

The Riverside Press has bitterly de-
Pacific political machine to buy it off
to support one of the Republican
regular" candidates for the governor
ship. The Press has been strenuously
supporting Hiram Johnson, and has
made one of the best and cleanest
fights for good government, and for
the reform of the Republican party,
waged by any newspaper in Southern
California.
The Press quotes several paragraphs
from a letter received by machine
manager in Riverside last week. in
which the manager was asked to
learn what the Press would take for
Hopping. Evidently the Press did not
need the money, for it is still coming
out as strong as ever for Hiram john
son and the league. The letter, in part,
reads:
1--WE are extremely anxious to know
whether the newspaper published in
your city by Mr.. Clake could be in
duced to take up the end of
the campaign very strongly. OF course,
this cannot be done without cost, and
we would like to find out what the
service could be obtained for. 1t is
absolutely essential that we obtain this
service, and for which we are willing
to pay. We would not like to pay
lavishly for the service, as the cam
paign is requiring a tremendous outlay
of money, but believe you will be able
to make a proper business deal"
Concerning this, the Press says:
at is presumed that the machine
candidates are using this sort of in
fuence' otherwheres, which fact doubt
less accounts for some of the fulsome
Endorsements they are receiving. At
any rate, the Endorsement of machine
candidates at this time by the Cali
fornia press is likely to create a sus-
picion of undue influence"

UP to the most active and wealthy
state and county bosses. We began
at home, cleaned our party first, and
then set about to clean the county and
state administrations, AID to execute
the wishes of the people.
TT is going to be a great year and
a Democratic year. We have got an ad-
mirable state ticket, and here in the
county we have indorsed what [ be-
lieve is the 'cleanest ana strongest tic
ket ever presented to the voters IN

PEOPLE WILL WIN
Back east everyone was asking me-:
Will the Southern Pacific or the peo-
pie win the present battle" l replied,
and appreciate the fact that we have
the utmost confidence in the success
of our present crusade, and l believe
that the people will be quick to realize
and appreciate the fact that We have
cleaned our party, an0 nominated men
on whom the people can rely to fulfill
the promises which the Republicans
have for so many years been making,
only to break as soon as they have
stepped into office. I believe the peo--
pie are going to elect large part OF
the Democratic ticket, especially in Los
Angeles county, and 1 have no doubt

ter the primaries, for I do not see how

orous fight for his nomination and cleo

between Guernsey and Dr. Lamb, as
Harmon is conceded even by his

Resolutions in favor of partisan
