NOT HOT AIR BUT STUBBORN FACTS BACKED UP BY THE RECORDS OF THE COURT AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHO PROSECUTED SILVER Sow savings accounts and reap financial independence. Money can be saved, suggests Norman Houston, by keeping so busy earning it that you have no time to spend it. Circulation of foul calumny under guise of fraternal information is not the least despicable act one may expect from supporters of namby-pamby executives, but in this particular instance nothing but good to the mayoralty candidacy of former U. S. District Judge Beniamir F. Bledsoe will result. When "Ideal American Girl" won the contest on account of her beautiful orbs, the judges no doubt announced that the "eyes have it". Under an indeterminate April, 1925, date, a letter reputedly bearing the signature of an alleged high officer in a prominent fraternal order foully maligns the judicial act of Benjamin F. Bledsoe in sentencing a confessed murderer to answer the penalty prescribed by law for first degree murder. False (continued on page 4) Wife (coldly)—You needn't speak to me for a month.

Casnave who has lived in this district for 24 years and gained for himself an enviable record as a clean cut business man. Also his unselfish attitude and devotion to the welfare of the community is making a most phenomenal showing in the race for Councilman from the 11th District. His friends are leaving no stone unturned for his success on next Tuesday, and freely predict for him a magnificent success: Mushet Campaign For Controller With the endorsement of thousands of men and women prominent in the social, professional and busi ness life of the city, Councilman W.

How To Cure A Cold Listen to everything everybody tells you to do for it, and then go to bed and do none of them. Head of N. A. A. C. P. Strong for Bledsoe TO THE PUBLIC: I am supporting Judge Bledsoe for Mayor because I believe him to be the man best fitted to serve the city and all classes of its citizenry. Judge Bledsoe has promised to fairly administer the law without favor to any individual or group. Since the laws of this municipality are just and fair, all my group desires is an impartial administration of the same. There is much talk of what the present administration has done for Negroes. Even a slight investigation will show these claims untrue. Had the Civil Service Commission appointed by the present administration certified those highest on the list without regard to color, our position would have been improved. The best interests of Los Angeles and all of its citizens require the election of Judge Bledsoe. DR H. CLAUD HUDSON W. M. SHELTEN -INDIANA REALTY CO.-REAL ESTATE, LOANS INSURANCE W. C.

Bledsoe's candidacy for mayor. Rev. W. S. Buchanan, pastor of the Broadway Christian Church said: "I believe, as stated before, that Judge Bledsoe is the one man for the office of Mayor of Los Angeles, during next term. I believe in the man, his message and his ability". The Rev. James A. Francis, pastor of the First Baptist Church said: "The need of a change and improvement in our city politics is so evident and I believe so firmly that Judge Bledsoe is the man who can effect this change, though ill for several months I will be in my pulpit on Sunday morning to speak in his behalf." Doctor J. Whitcome Brougher, pastor of the Temple Baptist Church, said: "I think a man of Judge Bledsoe's commanding ability is needed at this special time for Mayor of our city. No one can deny that Judge Bledsoe is a man of unusual executive ability a clear-cut thinker, thoroughly trained by education and experience and fully capable to fill successfully the position of Mayor of Los Angeles. He is not a novice in governmental affairs, but has rendered successful service in various public positions of responsibility and power." "He is broad in his sympathies, fair in his judgments and absolutely just in all his dealings with his fellow new. He will be, if elected, the Mayor of all the people and not of any else. He is courteous, will not fear to do his duty fully in the enforcement of the laws, and I will love to use us a cleaner and better city than we have ever had." "The Rev. Frank Dyer, pastor of the Wilmington Congregational Church, said, 'I but Judge Blieose in the Mayors chair will so for Los Angeles the putting Theodore Roosevelt in our did for New York City. Good women and women will stick Heart and others will know a new cmn has a c." Pierson Hall For City Council Fron 11th District Pierson Hall For City Council Fron 11th District Toronto M. Hall carries onto a councilmanic campaign in the 11th district the support of more than 200 JOHN H. of 11 local confederates, who, in endorsing his candidacy, have pledged him their active support at the polls, May 5th. Prominent among the members of the Los Angeles- Bar who are backing Mr. Hall for the council in his, the eleventh District are: Norman A. Raitie, Alfred L. Bartlett, George Breiden, Henry G. Bodan, Lynden G. Bowring, Lusus K. Clouse, George Clarke, Oliver O. Clark, Zach Lamar Cobb, William T. Craik, Joe Crain, Joe Crider, Jr., Andrew J. Cipri, Jr., Loo R. Daze, Hugh L. Dickson, Isoade B.

POLITICAL POT PIE Here it is take it or leave it as you like has been the policy of the "Soaring Eagle" in this primary Campaign. In this every fellow has had a square deal and not one has been denied. To be sure those who sow not, will reap not in so far as we are concerned. S. B. W. Mav for City Council from the Seventh District has conducted a clean cut campaign in a business like manner. Thereby demonstrating his fitness for the position which he seeks. He desires to qualify and is worthy of your vote and support. Do not fail to give a vote to James M. Alexander who is running in the 8th District for the City Council. Every vote count in this contest, and his experience is such that he will be indicted a most valuable man in the City Council. W. H. Broyles has been making a consistent fight as member of the school Board. Every citizen regardless of the district in which he lives can cast a vote for Broyles, therefore do not forget to mark your "x" opposite his name. After the primaries the Councilmanic candidates will no doubt use a little more judgment as to how to get results in their race to win the seat to which they aspire. Just how they expect to get very far in having some outsider from the district to get them over is more than the ordinary person can solve. M. A. Casenave, you have seen his name, but don't be surprised at his vote, he is a thorough going business man, lived 24 years in the district, is personally known by hundreds and will stand the test. Don't be surprised to find him a runner up on next Tuesday. Noah D. Thompson has been putting in some hard licks for the present School board. Art Mitchell is still lost in the wilderness and R. G. Lamar is walking and talking to himself. Titus Alexander who was the unterrified Negro Democrat, has lost his sting and feathers as well and joined in the anvil chorus of handkerchief heads singing the sorrow songs of ante bellum days. One consolation to the Blodsoe people is that Titus has never been known to get down on a winner. Since the Sunday Forum has been turned over into a regular political organization, there is small hopes of any real, constructive racial effort coming therefrom. Last we forget our old time friend Frank H. Mouser is a candidate for the City Council from the 41st District. Billy Greenwood, al around good fellow day, the knack of standing by his friends and has left no duty stand in the way of his shooting and work in for Musket for Controller, Billy says. Musket must be elected at the primaries. Next, A Pierce is the big noise for Councilman in the 10th District and looks like a clutch to who top place if not his election on next Tuesday. A well-known Thomas L. Degee took from Evergreen and was out this week shaking hands with the owner in the Ninth District. Mr. Degee has a host of supporter who are leaving no stone unturned in his behalf. Rochester Making Great Finish For Council In The 11th District George W. Rochester has been making the fur fly in the contest for Councilman in the 11th District. He has lined up a strong following which Geo. W. Rochester 1. leaving no stone unturned to secure his nomination on next Tuesday. We look for him to be well out front when the votes are counted next Tuesday. JOHN S. MYERS, CITY AUDITOR, CANDIDATE FOR CONTROLLER You are asked to vote for a Controller next Tuesday, May 5, 1925. We wish to impress the fact that this office is one of the most important positions in our city government, and that the successful and harmonious management of all City departments can be effected by the man who becomes our Controller. Elect Thomas L. Dodge For Councilman For The Ninth District WILLIAM H. HARRIS The campaign of Thomas L. Dodge the popular candidate for councilman for the Ninth District, is growing in interest and enthusiasm. A canvass of the District attests Mr. Dodge's popularity and justifies the prediction that he will carry the Ninth by a big vote. Mr. Dodge is an outstanding personality. His wide experience in the business world has been such as to afford him a clean, clear vision which has enabled him to treat his fellows as man to man, and to demand for every man an equal chance in the field of labor. Mr. Dodge has bee redently entered into the political life, of Los Angeles, but year ago, once engaging in the business life of our city, the records show that he has made no discrimination in the matter of employment. For years, he has employed in the hotel of which he is owner and proprietor, five, colored helpers, not because they were colored people, but because they were qualified for the service they were rendering. Preparedness is the only qualification Mr. Dodge requires of any person in his employment. He know no race or creed. If he shows impartiality in his private business we may confidently expect fairness and justice in his administration of public affairs. The East Side Independent League is therefore asking every local and progressive voter in the North District to vote for Thomas L. Dodge, Tuesday, May 5, and thereby advance the interests of the East Side. Race Employees Speak Highly of T. L. Dodge And Ask For His Support We the undersigned colored employees of Thomas L. Dodge desire to enter this testimonial of our appreciation of him as an employer. Since we first came to work for him in the King Edward Hotel, which he owns and operates in an absolutely clean and legitimate manner, have never had the slightest discrimination shown between us and his employees of the white race. He tells us what he wants done in a gentlemanly manner and we are glad to give him the best service which we can render, never at any time has Mr. Dodge treated us as inferior. It is because of our pleasant association with him as a friend rather than an employer that we wish to urge those of our race to vote for him in his candidacy for the Council from the Ninth District. In so doing we believe our people will be sending to the City Hall a man who can, at all times be relied upon to look after the interest, of our race as loyalty as he will his own.

Sunday at Eureka Villa looked like a gala day at Big Bear. Never at any gathering has there been* such a group of well-groomed men and handsome women. Their bright costumes were just the needed touch to remind us that Spring is really here, and Eureka is callin. Hundreds answered the call. Solid West Side Becomes Eureka Villa Boosters The recent West Side purchasers in Eureka Villa; are Mr. James White, one of the city's most popular young men, a brother to Mr. and Mrs. Norman White, purchased a beautiful corner on Lincoln Avenue, Eureka Villa. Mr. White contemplates building on his lot during the summer. Mr. Joe Beavers, popular merchant on Denker Avenue also has bought a big corner at Eureka Villa and contemplates opening a general merchandise store. Mr. Costelle Andrews, owner of a barber shop at 3229 Denker Avenue, has also become a lot, owner and booster for Eureka Villa. Among the sports that the visiting young men engraved in was a spirited foot race that drew quite an audience. Base ball fans had an enjoyable time watching some amateur play a good game of ball. There were six private picnics. One picnic was especially attractive because it looked like "Down Home" with its beautiful repast of fried chicken, hot rolls, ginger bread and everything. There were thirty in the party. The Sunnyland orchestra offered a very attractive program. One of the members gave some wonderful selections which attracted a large crowd. The young people, who love to dance got a lot of wholesome enjoyment all afternoon and in the early part of the evening. The dance Pavilion, all during the afternoon, hold from fifty to a hundred couples. At seven, the electric lights were lit in the park and pavilion and created a great sensation as it was quite a surprise to those who had not been our recently.

Rally For Bledsoe In Furlong Tract JUDGE BLEDSOE.RECEIVES GREAT RECEPTION AND MAKES NOTABLE ADDRESS JAMES ALEXANDER FURNISHES THRILL.—HIS EXPOSE OF PRESENT ADMINISTRATION Out at the school house, 52nd and Holiness Avenue, the Blebsloe force-reunion on last Tuesday evening. It was a great meeting and the Junior-capped many votes by his own logical and telling address and the unassailable information given out by those who are in a position to know. C. H. Alston and Dr. Marion Trace. Whiting made opening addresses which were indeed inspiring as we as illuminating. James M. Alexander gave everybody something to think about when he opened up the big Bertha on the mayor. He gave inside information as to how the Mayor's bosses handled the vice situation. Quoted prices on the privilege of gambling, bootlegging, prostitution, street walking and amete. It was a sordid story of deprivacy of the parties whom the mayor allows to dictate his action. All the wise ones know that at one time he was close, very close to the administration. The future Mayor was in fine, fettle and delivered one of the best speeches of his campaign, made converts and immensely pleased all who heard him. Meeting of Brotherhood, Wesley Chapel M. E.

Pollock, Adjutant of Bowie Post Receives Home From State As a result of the drive of the American Legion, two years ago to provide homesites for California veterans, Thomas J. Pollock, popular adjutant of the Benj. J. Bowie Post is the possessor of a beautiful home on East 42nd Street. Pollock is the first member of the Post to osecure a home from the State which has appropriated 810,000,000.00 to obey homes for men who were draffed from California during the war war. American Legion Busy The American Legion is now one of the foremost organizations of America and its program for this year plus many benefits for World War Veterans and dependents. Bowie Post The local post, the Benj. J. Bowie Post No. 228 has taken it's place as one of the liveliest posts in Southern California. Commander Harry Beal during his four months in office has had this post participating in all American Legion affairs. Recently the host entertained the Verdugo Hills Post No. 288. Last Sunday several Bowie post members attended a barbecue at Mountain Lodge of South Pasadena Post. Monday night a dinner meeting was held at the Ben A Delle cafe at Adams and Central Avenue. It was decided at this meeting to give a dance twice a month at the Hummingbird Dancing' Academy. The first dance will be on the evening of Monday, May-eleventh. WILSHIRE OLYMPIC CLUB DE FEATS GRASSHOPPER On Saturday, April 18th at the Assembly Auditorium, marked the defeat of the Grass-hopper Club boxing team. Up until this time they were considered the Pacific Coast Boxing Champions. Mr. Watson Burns, manager of the Assembly witnessed the largest crowd ever attending a boxing show at his auditorium. Although the card was an all-star amateur affair there was plenty of action from the start of curtain raise to the last gong of the main event. Mr. Leon Whitaker acted as refugee in which use a very keen eye was used throughout the fraus, execut at the fourth bout of Hudell, (Grass-hopper) vs Augustine W. O. O. he gave Hudell the decision which was very unpopular with the fans. However no one can in any way cast any reflection on him, because he is a fair and square boy, and a referee is apt to make a mistake as any one else. So we take our hats off to Mr. Whitaker, with this execution, he did well. We wish to thank Mr. Ed. Calhoun, known throughout L. A. box-birre world who acted as timekeeper. The Wilshire Olympic Club owe a great deal of success to Mr. Clark Food and Young. Jack. Thompson. Jack Thorp on who needs no introducing as every one knows him as Prime of Southern California. Thompson acted as chief second to the W. O. C. boys exeget one bout, being the semiconductor when he coacher. Emmette Brunon (Grasshopper) against Joe Hires W. O. C. Now Mr. Clark Food was making himself known as assistant to young Jack in juggling the smelling salts and liniments in the W. O. C. corners. Two much credit can not be given Ford as in was he who put the W. O. C. boys in condition. Clark is a member of the club, but owing to the fact that he is a professional he is kept off the O. C. team. You may see him at the assembly in the near future as Jimmy Ford weighs 123 lbs. Mr. Bratton was a great help to the team, in offering his service also as a second, from the way he, threw those towels and fans, he must have been useful. He tapped the boys' hands and helped rub down the fighters. Mr. Ellison Wright acted as announcer and the writer believes the way he exhibited his lungs, the fans in the two-bits seats in the last row heard him. Wright as we know him was a members of th evarchy team of 23, 24 and as ever is a strong candidate for the 1925 grid machine (W. O. C. of course). The curtain raiser was sure great, being Wildcat Jobbie Amy (W. O. C.) vs Young Kewpie Pope (Grass- hopper). Jobbie took every round. It was sure noticed how he delivered, his trained right upper cut, which floored Kewpie three time. THE NEW YORK TIMES S. B. W. May For City Council From The Seventh District There is grave doubt as to whether any candidate in the field for Councilman has received such ringing declaration of praise as he: S. R. W. May, the councilman candidate from the Seventh District, Men of high finance and those of the common walk of life, who are intimately acquainted with Mr. May are loud in their praise of his honesty and qualifications. Mr. F. B. V. May has received the following endorsement along with many others from organization, and individuals: The John' M. C. Marble Co. Union Mortgage Co. American Woodmen. 7th District Community and Development Assn. Sojourner Truth Industrial Club E. H. Kjelleren, Past Comm of Admiral Glass Camp, No. 36, U. S. W. V. Louis Michel. Mr. Lloyd W. McAtee, Prec. of the Uton Mortgage Co. has this to say: "I am pleased to know you are one" The Olympic flash had Kewpie on verge of a knock-out, it wkould have had been had he not missed a terrible right cross. The boys weighed 115 pounds. The second bout was alo good, so much go that the referee let them go an extra round to come to a decision. This one was Roger Bod (W. O. C.) vs. Roy Johnson (Grass hopper). Needless to say but the Olympian chased the insect to a decision. The third bout was forfeited to Fighting Pete Thompson (W, O, C). Pete was to fight Elliott Qualls a Grashopper. When time to start Qualls changed his pard for some rea- son not yet known. Thompson weighed 140 pounds. The fourth bout was Louis Augustine (W, O, C) vs. Shei in Huddell (Grashopper). Augui ine kept his left jabbing up and on an ceasional opening would sink a right to the stomach in perfect time. It was in this bout referee Wintaker lost his keen eye by giving Huddell the very much unpopular decision. These scrapers were 130 pounders. The fifth bout was on the Grasshoppers won without the waste of time. It was Dave James (W. O. C); vs. Jimmy Harrison (Grasshopper). It can be said that Jimmy was really good even too good for Dave for he scored a technical knock-out over the O. C. Kid. It can be said Dave showed good spirit. He did his best but lost. Too, this was his first time to ever put on gloves. Next came the Swi-Wihip of Joe Hines (W. O. C) vs. Epimute Bauman (Grasshopper). Hines, who is athletic manager of the club and captain of the team put over the necessary fourth win to capture the meet. Evidently Bauman had forgotten that in meeting Joe Hines he was fighting the holder of the amateur middle weight championship prize cup of Southern California. Joe's short left hooks and right upper cuts put him well on top. Hines weighed 164½; Bauman 184. The main attraction of the evening was young Jimmy Norrman (W. O. C.) vs. Young Sailor Smith (Grasser). Again an Olympian came to the front. Smith has a keen left delivery but Jimmy's defence was almost perfect. Smith kept trying for the chin of the contestants for nomination for council from the Seventh Ward. From my observation of you I cannot but feel, if you should be elected, that your every effort and energy would be used to further the interests of your constituents and for your city. Mr. Towler Shanklin, of the John M. C. Marble eCo., writes in follows: "I am informed of your candidacy for councilman in the 7th District of Los Angeles, and take great pleasure in recommending you to the citizens of this city. "In the years of business dealings with you, wherein you have acted as broker for various real estate transactions; you have shown a spirit of fairness, honesty, and faithfulness to a marked degree. "Your business experience and moral qualifications entitle you, in my opinion, to the unanimous support of the voters." Mr. E.-H. Kjellgreen, Paet-Commander of Admiral Glass Camp No. to be avail, while Norman diet work around the Sailor's button. Again, these boys went an extra round, whose reason Jimmy of the Olympians won the band rake and goded an extra point. The Wilshire Olympic Club took the meet scoring five out of the seven houts. And now the last, but not the least, we will give three cheers—two for the team and one for John Long, our cheer leader. When it comes to pro- ducing thusiasm among our followers Johny toons the list, he sure kept his megaphone hot with his constan- t and never-ending cheer leading of team. MY BUDDY!

SHARP TRICKS IN POLITICS We have no objection to persons using every legitimate means against their opponent in political battle, but we do object to prostituting our churches and fraternal organizations in the cauldron of political garbage. It was nauseating news indeed to us when we heard that $200 was demanded because a candidate for mayor was granted the privilege to enter and speak, and we wondered if the church was in on the $200 or whether it was for some one or more members as individuals.

For this stand our District Attorney is to be commended, it shows him to be the type of public official who investigates before he acts thereby rendering justice to the people and to the defendant who could ill afford being incarcerated for an indefinite period in jail and the cost of a sufficient defense. What Mr. Keyes did do was to issue a warrant for both Mr. Miller and the Southern cracker for disturbing the peace and fixed a nominal bond of $100 for each person. It now devolves upon Mr. Miller to prove their case and get a fair sample of justice as it obtains in a land where real justice reigns supreme.

That the defendant, at the time of his arraignment, was terrorized by the fear of death at the hands of a mob and was thereby forced to enter a plea of guilty and consequently deprived of a trial by jury. "Upon the hearing of the motion evidence and affidavits were introduced showing that each and every of these grounds were wholly unfounded in fact. Before making his plea and until after the final judgment, the defendant consulted with and was advised by one of the leading attorneys of the county, a man of learning and of good standing in his profession, there was no collusion between him and the district attorney, and all the facts bearing upon the degree of the crime were fully exhibited to the court. From the time he was held to answer until the end of the proceedings there was no cause to fear mob violence nor any exhibition or expression of such fear by the defendant. These facts were fairly established by the testimony. There was some evidence to the contrary, but this only raised a conflict which gives this court no cause to interfere.

SANBORN FO From 9th Dist FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY NAILS LIE Further confirmation of the falsity of this letter is contained in the following statement made by Judge Hugh L. Dickson of Los Angeles: "I was District Attorney of the County of San Bernardino, during the years, 1907-1908 when Edward Silver, a colored man, who was employed in the plant at Daggett, San Bernardino Co., California, shot and killed one Smithson, who was then a Deputy Sheriff and was well known to Silver. "The evidence showed that Silver had some difficulty with one of the men whom he was working at the plant at Dagget and Smithson, the officer, sought to placate Silver so as to avoid further trouble; wherupon, without any warning, or any provocation, whatsoever, Silver drew an automatic, and shot Smithson dead on the spot. Silver immediately after the killing ran away from the scene and the Sheriff's posse on being notified at once began a search for him and he was taken into custody some time about two days later while travelling along the Santa Fe Railway near Cajon Pass, near San Bernardino." "On account of the fact that Smithson was of an old and prominent family in San Bernardino County, Sheriff John C. Ralphs, deemed it advisable to hold the preliminary examination at Ontario in the western part of San Bernardino County, and this was done. "At the preliminary, the evidence was introduced showing the slaying of Smithson as above stated and Silvers was held without bail to answer in the Superior Court and he was thereupon taken down to San Bernardino, the County Seat, and incarcerated in the County Jail, where he remained until he was arraigned in the Superior Court, a week or ten days later. Upon the arraignment, Silver requested the appointment of an attorney to represent him and Judge Bledsoe thereupon appointed Mr. C. C. Haskell, one of the ablest attorneys then at the Bar in San Bernardino County to represent sai dSilver." "After consultation with his client, Mr. Haskell, on behalf of Silver, entered a plea of guilty to the crime of murder and Judge Bledsoe thereupon directed me, as District Attorney, to have all of the witnesses before him at a given date, so that the degree of the crime might be determined and at the time appointed, I, as District Attorney, had in Court all the persons who had any knowledge whatsoever of the offense and they were put upon the stand and fully examined by me and by Mr. Haskell, representing Silver. "The testimony of all of the witnesses was fully heard and considered by Judge Bledsoe, who found the degree of murder to be that of First Degree and at the proper time sentenced Silver to be hanged, but his sentence was commuted by Governor Gillette. It is absolutely untrue that any mob or violence was threatened against Silver at any time during his detention and it is also absolutely false that Silver was not authorized to bring witnesses, but the fact is, that he was given every opportunity to bring any persons whom he would suggest that might be of benefit to him. "It is absolutely untrue that Judge Bledsoe at any time told Attorney Haskell not to bother the Court with objections, but on the contrary, Judge Bledsoe seemed to be particularly careful to see that Silver had the benefit of everything that might develop in his favor and it is absolutely false that Silver was denied the right to take the stand in his own defense, but it is a fact that Silver did take the stand in his own defense, and testified fully in regard to the crime. "Mr. Haskell was, it is true, the attorney for the Public Administrator of San Bernardino County, but he received his appointment from the Public Administrator himself and was not on a salary, but was in receipt of fees for services performed in various estates handled by the Public Administrator. "A reference to this case reported in 154 California at page 556 will disclose, that the Supreme Court affirmed the sentence imposed by Judge Bledsoe, but thereafter Governor Gillette commuted the sentence to life imprisonment. "This statement is made by me on account of the facts being known to me and in the interest of truth and fair play. (Signed) "HUGH L. DICKSON." PROF. W. T. WILKINS ON BLEDSOE MR. EDITOR:— To answer the inquiry why I signed a nomination petition for Mayor Cryer and one, also, for Judge Bledsoe, permit me to say that I had signed for Mayor Cryer before I learned that Judge Bledsoe was in the race for the mayoralty. I signed for and wish to support Judge Bledsoe because he is my friend. He won my friendship in 1923 when he didn't need my vote. At that time Judge Bledsoe was guest of a big dinner party of about 150 or 200 business and professional men of his own race, at the Hotel Alexandria, and also, the speaker of the evening. Some of my white friends had arranged to have myself and pupils presented in classical music recital for the occasion. After dinner our program, of some 15 or 20 numbers was rendered before that intelligent body of men. Judge Bledsoe, the after-dinner speaker, gave us the highest praise for the work done. He also praised our race for having produced such talent, saying that I was not only a fine player but an excellent teacher. He said, further, that not only my race but his race as well should be proud of the work being done in my music school. Judge Bledsoe and that body of intellectuals didn't ask us to render "Your folk's good old plantation melodies" which the white people like so well. The Judge did not ask me or my pupils to play "rag time" or "jazz" as the white American generally does, but he wanted to encourage us in the performance of the classics. Judge Bledsoe is a music lover. He, with some of the world's celebrated artists, has made it possible for Los Angeles and the West to have and produce Grand Opera and on this occasion wanted to give me and my classes a chance to show the talent of the race. Time and space will not allow me to tell the many things that this big man is doing for you and me. As for me, personally, I am for Judge Bledsoe. My presentation in a strictly classical program at the Hotel Alexandria, giving me and your children a chance to be heard by a race that has had hundreds of years of intensive training, warants not only my signing a petition for Judge Bledsoe but my vote for him as well. It matters not to me whether a man travels under the name "democrat" or "republican" is he is big enough and broad-minded enough to lend a helping hand to my people. And that is what Judge Bledsoe is big enough to do. Youre for the Race, WILLIAM T. WILKINS, 1325 Central Avenue. WIN J. SANBORN FOR COUNCIL From 9th District Mr. W. J.

He has been instrumental in the passage of much sensible legislation bearing on matters pertaining to traffic congestion which we are in the midst of, careful study and consideration, and due to his unceasing work along these lines, we now have six ductlets secured and more to come. He has secured for the Heights better police protection and equipment, has been instrumental in the opening, widening, paving and improving of streets and the installation of sanitary sewers.

It is regretted that we have the sorry spectacle of one so far forgetting himself and his position as to send out a letter filled with falshoods in order to prejudice our group of voters against a certain candidate, thereby making the Order of the Eastern Satr a political foot ball and laughing stock of all who read. A burning shame for the Grand Patron to use his office, the official letter head and its influence in a dirty and questionable-mess. It is a case of carrying filthy carrion for a buzzard's feast. Of all orders this one of which I have always been proud to be a member, has stood to the forefront as against self aggrandisement, politics, and religion being a part of its mission and there are those who indignantly resent the brazen effrontery of the Grand Patron who has ruthlessly imposed this most dastardly situation which tends to hold our theretofore unattarnished order up to the scorn of an intelligent citizenry. We hold no situation is to obtain which will justify the O. E. S. to be made a foot ball for designing politicians. "Roe from contented shad. Accept no substitute.
