yEl HE Democrats of Los Angeles
county. represented by delegates
l. from practically every town and
village, in one of the most harmonious
and enthusiastic conferences ever held
in the state, yesterday indorsed city.
county and legislative candidates for
the Democratic primary nomination to
be held in August.
The conference was held at Long
Beach, following a big banquet ten
dered by the Jefferson club at the
Palace cafe there. and was the best at
tended in many years.
The auditorium at the end the pier
where the conference was held was
beautifully decorated, and the dele
gates had scarcely been seated before
they were down to business.
Charles Wellborn, police commits
sioner of Los Angeles, presided as
chairman Of the conference, and reso-
lutions relative to the wisdom and ex-
pediency of bringing out a candidate
for the United States prior to the
primary election promised for brler
moment to precipitate a spirited dis
cussion, but Chairman Wellborn et-
fectually used his gavel and held the
speakers in parliamentary obedience.
The conference then took under con-
sideration resolution setting forth the
object and motives involved in the reso-
luton indorsing candidates submitted
by the general committee.
An effort was then made by G.. w.
Crouch of Los Angeles to prevent in
dorsements. He evidently was un-
aware of the conditions under which
several of the leading candidates had
agreed to enter the race. When it was
explained in several speeches by Albert
M. Norton, S. M. Smyser, Joseph
Simons, Charles Wellborn and others
that some of the most desirable candi-
dates would not have agreed to run IL
they had not expected the Endorsement
of the party the supporters of Mr..
Crouch admitted their error, and the
candidates were finally indorsed with
only one dissenting voice, that of the
original opponent, Mr.. Crouch.
CROUCH CONVINCED
After the conference, when it was exc
planned that the general committee
had worked in conjunction with prac-
tically every reputable Democrat in
the county in selecting its list OF cans
didates, many of whom would not have
run unless assured of official indorse-
ment, and when it was also explained
that these candidates were not seeking
office, but that the office was seeking
them, and the presence of such men on
LHe IlChtl WAS UtcQCu " AASoAO Wv
feat of the S. p. machine, Mr.. Crouch
admitted the wisdom and expediency OF
q conference Endorsement.
AS the names of the various candl-
dates were called off in the report OF
the general committee for the lndorse-
ment of the conference round after
round of applause greeted their names,
until the big auditorium echoed with
enthusiasm.
Prof. Lorin A. Handley, candidate for
congress, was given a rousing ovatlon'
and when he attempted to make
speech was unable to begin for several
minutes. The same enthusiastic ap-
plause greeted w T. Harris, Lloyd Nc
Atee, Thomas Lee Woolwine and 9TH
ers. The mention of Mr.. Woolwine's
name was the occasion of a remarkable

1t has been decided to set aside a
day in the Fall, to be selected later
as Monument Day for the State, as
has been or will be arranged for

so that every man and boy may
have the chance to contribute as
they may feel able and wish, and
thus take part in this tribute to cur
splendid womanhood. The funds
so raised will be used for the cree
ton in this State of a monument
to our glorious women of the Con-
federacy. The plan has been pro-
posed by the Confederate Women's
Monuments Committee, and will
have the assistance Of the Veterans,

Solid Fuel For Autos Is
Likely In Future
It's Cheaper, Eliminates Carbu-
rettor

New York, Nov. 28.-Fuel for au-
tomobiles in solid forms is one OF
the joys which the near future holds
according to advices received here
from abroad. The "solikiied petrol
is the invention of a Roumanian
doctor.
1t is said to have many virtues.
Among other things it burns with
out smell or smoke, its cost is two
thirds that of the liquid, eliminates
the use of a carburetor, is safely
portable in wooden box or even
wrappedinto paper; affords complete
combustion: is of greater smoothness
than the liquid, will develop great
er power and is easily convertible
into liquid. 1t may be used for ship
engines, lamps and other purpose.

COLD WAVE is ON;
WATCH THE PIPES
Temperature Nay Linger a Fit
Below Freezing.

The day of the plumber is at hand
The cold wave has come, and it
will be here for the remainder of
of the week, according to Weather
Observer Won Hermann.
And it is a good time to protect
the water pipes.
The onset of winter began Monday
morning, when the mercury took
the downward slide on account of a
storm which cut up capers on the
north Atlantic coast and caused an
influx of cold air from the northwest.
At the weather bureau the opin-
ion was prevalent Tuesday that
with the passing of this storm
another comparatively warm wave
would dominate this section of the
country for at least a week or so.
But this particular storm. as all
storms will at times, upset all the
dope, kicked out of the traces and
hiked off up the coast to Nova
Scotia, and thereby hangs this tale.
SOME REAL COLD WEATHER.
The lowest temperature Wednes-
day night was q degrees. and prac-
ticalIy the same temperature will be
maintained throughout Thursday.
The weather man figures that the
rest of the week will be cold.

Enthusiasm In The

Locating the missing word in the

task for contestants in the initial IS
sue of the 29tn inst, but a number
also missed it. Coupons have pour

past two days thereby evincing
widespread interest in this novel

iy the entire lot of 80 advertisements
have been carefully read and the
business of the advertisers brought
prominently before the notice OF
people who were scarcely aware
that some of the firms THIS repre-
scented were in existence.
If anything were needed to prove
that we have a premium circula-
ton" and that it covers this terri
tory like the dew, the result in this
contest furnished the proof conclu-
elusive.
The missing word in the issue of

ment of Central Meat Market, be-
tween the words The" and Cuts. "
In this issue a word is omitted

some curiosity to know how many
expert guessers will name tue right
word in all the issues. 1t is not 60

time for new contestants to win or
