PURPOSES OF
THE CONTEST
Campaign Will Greatly Increase Her.
aid's Patronage—Some Things
V That the Contenders |
Should Know j
Many complimentary remarks have
| been heard of the liberality and pro
gresstveness of The Los Angeles
Herald in offering to the young wo
men, boys and fraternal lodges or
Southern California an opportunity to
win $15,000 In premiums. It has been
queried on many sides also as to how
a publication can afford to do such a
thing. The question might be an
swered in two ways:
First—A campaign such as this con
test being conducted by The Los An
geles Herald is a great advertisement
for the paper.
Second—The Los Angeles Herald de
sires to increase its circulation and
takes this means of doing so. Many
candidates are now among their friends
securing subscriptions to The Herald.
The paper does not expect to get rlcn
on this scheme; it simply, desires to
extend its subscription list, and is will
ing to pay for it in the following pre-

MACHINE TO RULE
PRECINCT CAUCUSES
OILED PROGRAM WILL NOT BE
INTERRUPTED
Nearly One Thousand Delegates Nee
essary to Choose 103 Candidates
Before the Primaries.
Where They Meet
Without the participation of the
Lincoln-Roosevelt Republicans the
Republican caucuses will be held in
every precinct in the city and county
tonight to select delegates to the dis
trict caucuses which are to meet Sat
urday at 1 o'clock at places designated
in each of the assembly districts.
In these precinct caucuses Walter
Parker and the railroad bureau manip
ulators are to have their plans com
pleted without interruption by the
"long-haired" and "bolters," as the
valiant league members are variously
styled.
The program is for each precinct to
select its delegates to the district
caucuses which in turn will select the
candidates for district delegate to the
state convention to be voted for at the
general primary next Tuesday. The
league hosts have cut across the lot
liy ignoring the caucuses and announc
ing their tickets direct, through the
various club organizations, and thus
evading the necessity for precinct and
district contests.
In all the precincts of Los Angeles,
Pasadena and the precincts outside of
either there will be elected 970 pre
cinct delegates, who art to select the
103 delegates to the state convention.
The machine work haw been done
quietly and effectively in the districts,
there being little concentration
through the central committee. No
tices of the caucuses have been posted
in various places in the precincts by
the committeemen. The organization
has been Just us careful as if the
league intended to invade the caucuses
and upset the plans.
Arrangements have been made by
Chairman Lee and Secretary Peter
mlchel of the Republican committee to
receive the returns at the rooms of
the Republican league, 122';. South
Spring street tonight.
Where They Will Meet
The places for holding the district
caucuses Saturday in Los Angeles and
Pasadena, together with the number
of precinct delegates and the number
of candidates to be chosen follow:

dena; G3 delegates; 7 candidates.

ROOSEVELT LEAGUE
SCORES CAUCUSES
GIVES REASONS WHY METHOD
IS WRONG
Are Easily Manipulated and Are
Effective Means in Promoting
Boss Rule and Bad
Government
The Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league in defending its attituue in Ur
nonug tile caucuses called by the Ru
publican county central committee, has
Issued a statement of reasons. The
(iocument is addressed to the "Repub
lican voters of Los Angeles" and is
signed by Sidney A. Butter, chairman
of the Lincoln-Roosevelt county com
mittee. The reasons given follow:
"I—Caucuses (particularly in the city
of Los Angeles.) do not and cannot
express the wishes or desires of the
iank and file of Republican voters.
"3 —The caucus, because of the ease
and none of the safeguards of the law
surround it.
"3 —The caucus, because of the case
with which it may be manipulated by
tricky or designing persons, is an ef
fective means in promoting boss rule
and bad government.
"i — Frequently caucuses are design
edly held at times and places that ren
der it impossible for voters to take
part in the proceedings. A fair ex
pression oi the Republican voters of
the precinct is not wanted at such
gathering!. Usually a few men meet
in some out-of-the-way place; put in
nomination a set of delegates previous
ly selected by the local boss and ad
journ before the real voters of the pre
cinct appear.
"G—Particularly in the large cities,
where the voters are not personally
known to each other, and because of
the further fact that no protection of
law is thrown around them, caucuses
give opportunity for all sorts of chican
ery and fraud. It is not infrequent
that gangs of men not living in the
precinct and having no right to vote
there attend the caucuses and nominate
the tickets.
"6—ln order to win at the caucuses
the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league would be compelled to resort to
the same tricky methods employed by
the Southern Pacific machine gang.
It cannot do so. It believes in the
principle of the 'square deal.' To re
sort to the skulduggery of packing
caucuses would be to forfeit the con
fidence of the people.
Opposed to Caucuses
"7 —As an organization the Lincoln-
Roosevelt Republican league is opposed
to the caucus and convention system.
It believes party nominations never
will become true expressions of party
choice until each member of the party
is given an opportunity to express at
the polls his preference for each can
didate to be nominated. To this end
the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league is pledged to support a direct
primary law, which will require that
every candidate for office, either in
city, county or state, submit his claims
to be voted upon by every member of
the party.
"The Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league through the various clubs in
each assembly district has placed in
nomination for delegates to the Repub
lican state convention tickets com
posed of sterling Republicans affiliated
with the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league, and who can be depended upon
to carry into effect the principles upon
which the league is founded.
"These tickets will be submitted di
rectly to the Republican voters of the
various assembly districts at the pri
maries to be held May 5. All Repub
licans who are tired of boss rule for
the benefit of a mercenary railroad
corporation, and who believe in the
principles enunciated in the platform
of the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican
league, are urged to go to the polls
May 5 and cast a ballot for their own
interests by voting the league ticket.
"It is for self-respecting Republicans
to determine whether they will send
to the state convention at Sacramento
delegates named by the Southern Pa
cific machine to perpetuate boss rule,
or delegates pledged to oppose and
destroy the machine which has been
the prolific source of bad government
and misrule. The issue is clear. It is
for you to decide."
Will Go to Pomona
Members of the Lincoln-Roosevelt
Republican league of Los Angelas will

ARCHIBALD SESSIONS,
Los Angeles organist, who made a de

FINED $10 FOR BEATING
ONE OF HIS CUSTOMERS
Prosecuting Attorney Tells How Cer.
tain Class of Merchants Work
Flim Flam Game on
Foreigners
Charged with battery H. W. Blum
was arraigned in Police Justice Rose's
court yesterday and fined $10.
Blum is a clerk employed In Maiden
berg Bros.' clothing store, 250 South
Main street. He is alleged to have
beaten T. Makazura, a Japanese who
refused to take and pay for more
goods than he had purchased.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ford,
who issued the complaint against
Blum, said:
"When a Japanese or Borne other
foreigner who has but a slight knowl
edge of the English language enters a
store of this character he la usually
made a victim. The common method
is to have the customer examine about
twice as much clothing or other ar
ticles as he wants. Then the clerk
wraps up everything and hands It to
the purchaser, who only tenders money
for what he really bougth.
"The clerk gets Indignant and tells
the victim to go and get the balance
of the money and holds the amount
paid as a deposit. If the purchaser re
turns with more money, he gets the
goods, otherwise he loses the deposit.
If the vicitlm protests he is thrown
out of the store."

tion for letters of administration of
tho estate of Patrick If. Lyons, the
policeman who was shot and killed
by Daniel F. Meskil, a footpad, on the

This petition is in contest with the
one iile<i several weeks ago by Mrs.
Anna Munson, mother of Lyons, who
lives in Brashear Falls, N. V., In
which she asked that Henry Hart be

SCION OF A WEALTHY
BOSTONIAN ARRAIGNED
THEATER MAN SAYS HE WILL
WHIP HIM
Youth Who Bought Automobile on a
Worthless Check Tells Stories Not
Credited by Police —Mother.
in.Law Involved
Charged with buying an automobile
with a worthless check for $2150. Jay
W. Crawford, son of a wealthy Boston
attorney was arraigned in Police Jus
tice Frederickson's court yesterday
and his preliminary examination set
for today. His bail was fixed at $2000.
Crawford made a statement and says
he is a victim of mistakes. The po
lice, however, are skeptical.
"I sold my automobile and gave the
money to my former mother-in-law,
Mrs. A. H. Day. to keep for me said
Crawford. "I thought she would de
posit it in a bank. If I could reach
her sh* would put up the money for
the check, as she said she would do.
"I will get out all right. My father
will make It all right, if she does not.
He Is a prominent attorney and Is
wealthy. He has often sent me
money."
A telegram from Worcester, Mass.,
stating that he has a wife there and
that there was a criminal indictment
against him, was shown to Crawford.
He denied there was anything to it.
"I married Ida Foster Day, an Eng
lish girl. We eloped from Worcester
four years ago and were divorced in
Detroit, Mich., three months later.
That is what the message refers to."
"I met the Days here in California,
and when I sold my automobile I gave
the money to Mrs. Day to keep for me,
for I knew if I carried it with me I
would soon run through with it.
"I never have been married but once,
and this Is the first time I have been
In trouble. There are no criminal
charges against me in the east."
The detectives reported that Craw
ford told them that Mrs. Gustave
Flgge was his mother-in-law, and this
has caused another mlxup in Craw
ford's troubles. Figge Is manager of
the Wonderland theater, 315 South
Main street. Crawford often visited
the theater and became acquainted
with Flgge and his family.
"Crawford showed us letters and pa
pers and lod us to believe he was all
right and that his father was a prom
inont eastern attorney.
"He was never married to my daugh
ter and she never had any intention of
marrying him. He told me he knew

of some furnished apartments for rent
and I allowed him to take my family
to Inspect them.
!'lt he ever gets out of Jail I will
give him a beating that he will re
member the remainder of his life."
Crawford said he never said Mrs.
Figge was his mother-in-law, and says
he does not blame Figge for wanting
to whip him.
The detectives say Crawford has
borrowed money from several persons;
that he owes for the hire of the rig
in which he took the Flgge family to
see the furnished houses, and that he
also pawned his overcoat and watch.
They do not believe he gets money
from home.
