GOOD eoVERNM EMIT ELEMENT IN
CONTROL
All Signs Point to Complete AnnihIa-
ton of Southern Pacific Machine
In Los Angeles County
Democracy


! city April IL and IS, and after lengthy
discussion of the merits of the men
designated by the committee, the re-
port was unanimously adopted.
Several members of the committee
favored the Endorsement of a substitute
report in which we're included the
names of a. number of prominent DEM
ocrats whom it was desired to honor in
recognition of their services to the par
ty: but it was not deemed wise un-
necessarily to revise the original list
selected by the majority of the COM
mittee, so the substitute list was laid
ON the table.
Aside from the selection of the 110
delegates, several other important mat
ters were decided in executive session,
including the unanimous adoption of
resolution providing that every member
of the county central committee shall
meet at symphony hall, 292 South Hill
street, May Ia, at 10 o'clock a. m, to
select candidates for congress-, state
senate, state assembly, supreme court
and county and township offices, for in
dorsement at the primaries in August.
Each member of the central commit
tee is to bring with him one other
known Democrat to aid in the selec-
tions. Only one candidate will be nom
mated for each office.
The executive committee of the coun-
ty central committee expressed its re-
gret that with only 10 delegates to Sc
lect for the state conference, it could
not honor all or even satisfactory
portion of the numerous tried and true
leaders of the local Democracy, whose
work the last year in connection with
the Good Government party had so
marvelously transformed the political
history of Los Angeles.
The committee submitted, however a
list of names in which the old regime
was conspicuously absent. 1t was a
significant fact that there were many
Good Government workers present, and
that only the best element of the DEM
ocratic party was represented at the
meeting.
Men who in former days controlled
the caucuses, conventions and prina-
ries seem to have realized that they
have lost their power There was none
of the tactics of other days-none Of
the railroading of resolutions and ap-
pointments. Ward heelers, S. p. agents
and men through whom the Southern
Pacific political machine once exerted
its evil Influences, directed its destinies
and accomplished it's ruinous purposes,
had no voice in the action taken at the
meeting yesterday
Mcdonald Meets Defeat
If there had been any outside attempt
to influence the committee to place any
of these men in it's list for appointment,
there was no indication of 1t, although
it was brought out that friends of
Henry M. Mcdonald, secretary of the
Jefferson club, wanted his name in the
list; but when Milton Carlson of ocean
Park offered to withdraw and give his
place to Mr.. Mcdonald, the suggestion
was drowned in cries of mo! MOI" and
Carlson quit talking Mr.. Mcdonald
Immediately arose and left the hall.

success of the meeting, called attention
