Southern Californian GEO. C. KNOX EDITOR. SATURDAY ... MAY 31 1873 L. F. FISHER, 20 and 21 New Merchants' Exchange, in our authorized Agent in San Francisco COUNTY DIVISION CENTRAL COMMITTEE: GEO. G. KNOX Chairman: A. L. BUSH, W. H. BPURGEON, E. W. CHAMPLIN FOR MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE A. L. BUSH, OF SANTA ANA. The Opening of the Campaign Today the Democratic Central Committee of Los Angeles county will convene for the purpose of determining the method and time of holding the primaries of their party. On next Saturday the Republican Central Committee will meet for the same purpose. The main question which will come up for discussion in both Committees will be, whether it will be preferable to hold conventions or whether the Crawford county plan shall be adopted. In all probability the Democracy will select their candidates by the latter system, whilst the Republicans will adhere to the time-honored convention. In discussing the merits and demerits of either method the Committees lose sight of the most objectionable feature of the primary system—the pledge of unconditional support of the person nominated by voters at the primary, a pledge, which is universally conceded, causes the absence from the polls of good and honest adherents of both parties, allowing opportunities for fraud and bribery to be used for the advancement of the purposes of dishonest politicians. We would commend to the attention our readers the article published on first page, headed "Representation Husbandry." The sentiments therein are substantially the same as advocated in our issue of May 17th indeed to be regretted that so few farmers are to be found in our legislative body and we believe that the only remedy that evil is in the organization of political societies among farmers, other words, the formation of "Grange." While agriculture is unrepresented interests must suffer," but with both intelligent farmers in a legislative capacity, we would have better laws for amelioration of the many ills the farm community now suffer, and be less suprised by the extortions practiced upon them, the gigantic monopolies which control railroads and our grain market. That farmers have the numbers and the ability to elect our law makers from among themselves, is a conceded fact, but only in the formation of Secret Grange that they can use their influence to aid stage and keep from their councils the and unscrupulous politicians, who seek to control and govern their actions. We believe that in Los Angeles county no Grange has yet been organized, but Fairview Club has taken the head and requested the necessary officer to them and officially organize them in Grange. They have also entered into Republicans will adhere to the time-honored convention. In discussing the merits and demerits of either method the Committees lose sight of the most objectionable feature of the primary system—the pledge of unconditional support of the persons nominated by voters at the primary, a pledge, which is universally conceded causes the absence from the polls of good and honest adherents of both parties, allowing opportunities for fraud and bribery to be used for the advancement of the purposes of dishonest politicians. The Press of the county, with no single exception, are united in opposition to the adoption of this pledge. In as much as their expressed opinions are generally an index to public sentiment, it may be safely asserted that a decided opposition to this requirement exists amongst the masses as well and consequently either party, exercising a certain degree of toleration, will receive to return a like amount of popular favor. It is only within the last few years that the greed for office has been so great as to induce defeated aspirants to run "sore-headed" or independent. Such a position will be taken by no man, imbued with a due sense of honor and principle; therefore a knowledge of the fact that it is impossible to secure a party nomination without truckling to the designs of unprincipled politicians will eventually cause those who desire to serve country, and not selt, to ignore party organization, or deter them altogether from entering the political arena. The Mirror, of Los Angeles City, in an article showing the bad influences arising from the requirements of unconditional pledges, advisingly says: "If the taxpayers, who are most interested, should select the best men for local offices from both tickets and reject the unit ones, regardless of politics, as should be done in local elections, political conventions would soon see the necessity of selecting the best men as candidates for office," in order to insure success." Would it not be better to make these selections before nominations are made not from the candidates placed in the field by political conventions, but from the solid and upright men of the community—men, who, not fired with the desire to acquire dishonest gains from the public parse, and d will serve their country try for their country's good Blatherskites. A blatherskite, according to Webster, "is a blustering talkative fellow"—in California vernacular, he is a 'blownhard.' The genus blatherskite is a numerous family, but the political blatherskite is a species of American growth, which blooms and blows most profusely during political campaigns. The constituent elements of a genuine blatherskite are egotism and bad themselves, is a conceded fact, but only in the formation of secret Gran that they can use their influence to add tage and keep from their councils the and unscrupulous politicians, who seek to control and govern their action. We believe that in Los Angeles county no Grange has yet been organized, but Fairview Club has taken the lead and requested the necessary officer to them and officially organize them in Grange. They have also entered into communication with the farmers of Los Norte and El Monte, with a view to establish order in those places. “What Shall We Do To Save?” In obedience to the clamor of the institutions, the San Francisco Board Supervisors have adopted strong cookie resolutions, and have in the hot checking the immense influx of Chicamen for interment in their new land be prohibited, and that Chicamen men pay a license of fifteen dollars per quarter for every Chicamen their employ. To devise ways and means to effect discourage Chinese immigration, will require more ingenuity and ability than possessed by the members of the Francisco Board of Supervisors. In doing their prohibitory, and to a certain extent, barbarous ordinances, they have actuated by the belief that in interment with the religious belief of the Chicamen they had found the true solution of great question which is agitating public mind—"How shall we stop China immigration?" But the pagan belief in Chinese—deep-rooted as it is succumb to the love of gain, and the gladly forego all hopes of interment their native land and submit with nation to the loss of their queues in presence to being excluded from the body to be derived from a residence of years among us. As to the evil effects of their multious presence along us, there is one opinion. That opinion is ably set in the following article, which we from the Los Angeles Star. Cheap labor may be a great desire to capital and of great value in respects to a new country; but when labor comes in the character of an unebene mass—one that must ever remain distinct and undesirable element midst—alien in every respect, and out of that reciprocity of interest which to make up a flourishing society question arises, are we not buying labor at too great a sacrifice? Are we encouraging a class, who can never Blatherskites. A blatherskite, according to Webster, "is a blustering talkative fellow"—in California vernacular, he is a 'blowhard.' The genus blatherskite is a num-rous family, but the political blatherskite is a species of American growth, which blooms and blows most profusely during political campaigns. The constituent elements of a genuine blatherskite are egotism and bad whisky, diluted with a modicum of brains. The chief end of his existence is to hang around corner-groceries, bar-rooms and saloons, to enlighten his benighted fellow citizens upon the political issues of the day and to instruct them for whom to vote. It was not for these disinterested patriots—the blatherskites—this great and glorious republic would go to the demission bowwows." Each and every individual blatherskite will assure you upon his sacred honor, that he controls a large vote, that the success of our party, "yes sir," the safety of the country itself, depends upon which way I influence my friends to vote at the coming election." Suppose the blatherskite should die or get drunk, and his friends, having no one to influence them, should vote for "tother fellow," don't you see that the country would be a "goner?" It was our good fortune some years since to reside in a Western village that abounded in blatherskites. There were no less than thirteen prominent blowhards in it. In the same town were about twenty adopted American citizens who were notorious for minding their own business and letting others enjoy the same glorious privilege. And, although not one of these citizens of foreign birth was ever known to sell his vote, yet each and every one of that devil's dozen of blatherskites claimed entire control of the foreign vote, and stood ready to bargain, sell and convey for any consideration, varying from a bar glass of whisky to a twenty dollar piece, NEW ADVERTISEMENT NOTICE.
