this car Hudson went to Venice and
continued his negotiations for the
supposed acquisition of a tract of
land offered him in that vicinity for
winter quarters"
Hudson was much surprised when
arrested by the dete ctives in front
OF the Hotel Lankershim. To Cap
tain Flammer he admitted he was
not John. Ringing, confessing later,
so that official says, that he was
using the name with especially pre-
pared rubber stamps to aid him in
his proposed deals.

-ACTS AND NOT LABELS

1 1t is trying time for the voters
when they are called on to decide
among the candidates. for when there
is a popular feeling abroad on any
issue ii is common procedure for all
candidates for office to pin on the
popular colors, and they are very apt
to do this with honest intent. them
selves influenced for the time being
as other men are influenced.
But persons of serious purposes
must look beyond the labels the office
seekers wear for the real man behind
the flaming colors.
This is said because We are told
that s c. Evans who is seeking nom
inatiOn for congressman. is the pro-
gressive candidate" and the facts in
the case should be known 70 all men.
The facts are these:
Riverside was anxious TO have one
Of its own citizens selected as con
gressman, in part because OF local
pride, and in part that the district
might have a man who would Sacri-
flee any thing else 10 the one point of
maintaining a high protective tariff
on citrus fruits. and all the Republi-
cans of Riverside county were per
IiIlICu " NOlC CtS DCJNIVll wv ANiFNA
side candidates seeking nomination.
and Mr.. Evans was chosen-as he has
said. primarily as the citrus fruit
candidate.
Riverside was for many years un-
der the control OF what was locally
known as the steering committee,
ond the controlling factor III that com
mittee was the admitted local repre-
sentative OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany. That Southern Pacific repre-
sentative, all the members of the
steering committee and the orange
growers of Riverside in general are
behind Mr.. Evans, not as a Progress
sive, nor as a Standpatter, bur as the
man selected TO bend his whole
thought on a protective tariff for cit
rus fruits.
II is true that Mr. Evans wears the
Progressive" label, as he or any per-
son has a right TO do but no body of
citizens anywhere. with authority 10
act, has bestowed upon him any par
ticular designation as the candidate
of the Progressive voters of the dis
trict, and the people of Ell Centre
have occasion to know that in his
public addresses Mr.. Evans ignores
the big issues of national import and
confines himself TO the discussion Of
such harmless and irrelevant issues
as the superiority of commission gov
ernment for cities and the fine public
library in Madison, Wisconsin.
The congressional primaries will
not be held until September, but it is
time for other candidates TO get into
the field. 1t surely is to be hoped
that a candidate can be found who
will go forth to win or lose upon the
general issues Of progressive Republi-
canism, treated on statesmanlike
basis, but if such candidate is not
70 ~ found and the fight must once
more degenerate into a scramble for
Industrial and locality representation,
il is to be hoped a candidate will be
presented who will stand for interests
of greater import to this valley than
the maintenance Of a high tariff on
citrus fruits.
