CARBOHYDRATES REPORT
Albert M. Norton, chairman of the
Los Angeles county Democratic central
committee, when shown this statement
said:
Il know for a fact that such a plan
is being urged by certain Lincoln
| Roosevelt men who belong to the Good
Government organization. For two
days the campaign committee of the
| Good Government organization, com
posed OF George II. Dunlop, president,
| Edward A. Dickson, a. M. Dunn and
Charles E. Bent, have been trying to
secure information from me as to the
qualifications of the various Democrat
ic candidates. They have stated that
they were delegated us campaign
committee, by the executive committee
of the Good Government organization,
to secure this information, and that
they would be prepared by July n
to go before the executive COM
notice at its meeting on that date
in Blanchard hall, and submit recon-
IlenudIlDllS lOE Lll0 lIllOl oCllCIlL VI ppbil
a Democratic and Republican ticket
"Cognizant of the influence being eX-
erted III the interest of this machine, L
and other Democrats of the steering
committee have drafted resolutions of
protest, which will be adopted by us
Thursday morning"
WILL ADOPT RESOLUTIONS
Following are the resolutions referred
to by Mr. Norton, which he said Will be
adopted by the Democratic steering
. committee this morning:
To the Executive Committee OF
the Good Government organization
of the City and County of Los An
geles:
Gentlemen: 1t having been
brought to the attention of the
steering committee of the Demo-
cratic county central committee of
Los Angeles county that certain
members of your committee, VINO
are also Identified with the Loncoln-
Roosevelt league executive commit
tee, are making a determined effort
to bring about the Endorsement at
this time, before the primaries or
August 49, of candidates on both the
Democratic and Republican tickets
in this county, and that a meeting
to effectuate this purpose has been
called for Wednesday, July u, at
O'Clock p. m.
We urgently protest against this
intended action for the following
reasons:
First-That such Endorsement, al
though upon its face appearing TO
be non-partisan, would be a paftl-
san measure in the extreme, for the
reason that the Democrats VINO are
running are, with one exception
that can hardly be considered an
exception-unopposed for the nom
nations they seek, and any cam
paign made prior to the primaries
bv your organization would simply
be in the interest of the Llncolh-
Roosevelt end of the RepuDllcah
. marty. and we think that the sup
mort Given the Lincoln Roosevelt
; organization by both The Herald
and the Express, and the people
connected with them, is sufnclent 10
> inform the Republicans OF Los An
! gelese county that the Lincoln
I, Roosevelt organization is the re-
form end of the Republican party,
and needs no bolstering up by the
Good Government organization.
Second-The Good Government
fund, which supports the Good
Government organization, was CIV
en- for the purpose of fostering nom
partisanship in politics, and the
preamble of your Good Government
| organization distinctly states Inc
, Good Government organization is q
; non-partiSan organ
ization of the forces of good gov
ernment in the city and county or
Los Angeles" and any Endorsement
of a distinctive Republican or DEM
ocratic ticket, as such, is perVer-
sion of the purposes of the Good
Government organization, ana Will
probably result in the withdrawal
of subscriptions to your permanent
good government fund.
Third-That certain of the candi-
dates indorsed by the LINCOLN
Roosevelt league are not Good Gov
ernment people, have never att1ll-
ated or associated with the good
government movement, but always
| have been and now are part OF
) the machine which the Good Gov
ernment forces in Los Angeles
county have been fighting during
t the past, and a blanket indorse-
( ment of the Lincoln can
didates would have the erect or q
| partial Endorsement of machine can
didates and a direct contradiction or
the purposes of the Good Govern
ment organization.
[ Fourth-We think that the pur-
poses of the Good Government or
t ganization is only to point out atter
the primary election the good gov
3 ernment men on both the Repubn-
can and Democratic tickets, without
regard to partisanship, recommend
/ ing both Democrats and Republ-
: cans alike upon merits alone, ana
: that the Good Government organiz-
l alton should not mix in or take
mart in the present fight within the
ranks of the Republican party, when
il is assured that the Democratic
ticket in its entirety presents a
: clean government ticket, and that
: there will be at least one Good GOV
2 ernment candidate for every office
to be filed by the election IN NO
Vember.
In conclusion, we wish to say that
: should your endeavors prove sue
oessful in the Endorsement OF both a
. Democratic and Republican can,
didate before the primaries, 1t Woula
9 mean the turning over of the Good
Government organization to the
= . lincoln Roosevelt league, the diver
sion of it's fund to fight the battles,
g of the Lincoln Roosevelt league
and would destroy the confidence
D of the people of Los Angeles coun-
