" - 1 i j , It: was expected' that the henchmen of the public utility: corporations would exert themselves. to make additional nominations in an attempt to defeat the recall.

It should be remembered, however, that Oswald West received a. fee of $50,000 for consolidating the Home Telephone Company with the Pacific Telephone - & - Tele-' graph Company, thereby eliminating competition. c 7 " . - . , 4 J ;Be not deceived by ..the side plays o; the: telephone company.
