leant their names to the group because of their respect and
friendship for the doctor. One historian quoted a commentator on
the subject 3 0 years later who described Haynes as "an immensely
busy and popular physician, [who] had most of these people as his
patients, and succeeded in communicating some of his enthusiasm for
radical reform to persons who today [1930] are no doubt horrified
to think they ever, in any way, encouraged such heresies."26
Haynes, who was nominally a Socialist, had patients who spanned the
spectrum of the Los Angeles establishment, and his influence was
enormous, both in the city and the state.
Haynes' success came with a new charter in 1903, which
provided for the initiative, referendum, and recall, and made Los
Angeles the first city in the country to adopt the recall.
The democracy reforms did not, however, succeed in ousting the
SP, which took several years more. That work was taken up by a
group of younger Progressives in journalism and law: Edward A.
Dickson, who wrote editorials for the Los Angeles Express and
Record, and whose employer, Edwin T. Earl (a perennial foe of
Harrison Gray Otis of the Times) played an important role in
attacking the status quo; as did attorneys Russ Avery, Meyer
Lissner and Marshall Stimson, all of whom were young, idealistic,
and had some experience as reformers.27

| Title | Legal research regarding the history of the Los Angeles charter, 1850-1990 (3a of 3) |
| Description | Xandra Kayden. The Los Angeles past as it approaches the future: Policy Clinic report. Claremont, California: The Claremont Graduate School, The Center for Politics and Policy, Spring 1990. PART OF A SERIES: A critical component of the Commission's investigation centered on the idea that governance of the LAPD was shared between the Office of the Chief of Police, an administrative body, and the Board of Police Commissioners, a citizen body. To better understand the dynamic between these two entities, the staff of Heller, Ehrman, White, & McAuliffe researched the history of the Los Angeles City Charter, focusing primarily on its provisions regarding the distribution of power and the structure and organization of the LAPD. Included in the series are reproductions of reports, dissertations, article clippings, excerpts from city documents, and charter amendments related to the charter's conception and development over time. The series also includes several summaries of expert witness interviews regarding the effectiveness of this structure. |
