Agent for Luzon Water Proof and Orchard Chief Shoes New Crop of Rubber Boots Just Arrived INEQUALITY OF REPRESENTATION LIMITATION OF FRANCHISE IN SOUTHERN STATES South Carolina Contrasted with Massachusetts, Alabama with Minnesota, Georgia with Iowa. It has been asserted that the Republican platform in demanding that representation in Congress and in the Electoral Colleges be reduced in states where the elective franchise has been limited by special discriminations is raising the race question. This is not true. The platform does not touch the race question. The clause in question has to do with a more vital and important matter, the equality of voters. Do you know that there are states represented on a basis of population in which less than two per cent. of the population votes, while the average vote in others is anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five per cent? Before the war these states were allowed to count three-fifths of their non-voting population; now they count the whole of their non-voting free population. Is this equality?

MARTIN, Proprietor Do you know that there are states represented on a basis of population in which less than two per cent. of the population votes, while the average vote in others is anywhere from fifteen to twenty-five per cent? Before the war these states were allowed to count three-fifths of their non-voting population; now they count the whole of their non-voting free population. Is this equality? Do you know that there is a district in Mississippi in which one-half of one per cent. of the population votes? Do you know that in another only one person in 133 votes, and votes for John Sharp Williams, who is protesting against government without representation in the Philippines? Do you know that one vote in Mississippi equals from seven to twenty-five in any northern state? Judge Parker says he objects to government by an oligarchy. Where do you think the oligarchy is in this country, and what do you want to do about it? The accompanying figures show the number of votes received by the winning candidate in each district, the whole number of votes cast in the district, its population and the proportion of the voters to the population. It will be observed that in many of the southern states the successful candidate ran without opposition, polling the entire vote cast in his district, while in northern states the opposition, divided among several parties, frequently cast more votes than were cast for the winner of the election. If a healthy opposition is a sign of wholesome political life, this fact is certainly significant. Compare the First South Carolina district, which takes in the city of Charleston and has a population of 196,-390, with the Fifth Pennsylvania, which includes part of Philadelphia, population 196,315. Mr. Legare of South Carolina received 3,749 votes out of a total of 3,924; Mr. Morrell of Pennsylvania 25,358 out of 25,640, both candidates having practically no opposition. Mr. Legare received the votes of one-fiftieth of the population of his district, Mr. Morrell the votes of one-seventh the population of his. One voter in South Carolina equals seven in Pennsylvania. Compare the Sixth South Carolina district, population 201,577, with the First Massachusetts, population 201,378. In the one Mr. Scarborough gets 3,981 votes, with no opposition; in the other Mr. Lawrence gets 14,093 votes, against an opposition of 12,009. In Mr. Scarborough’s district only one person in fifty voted; in Mr. Lawrence’s the proportion was one in seven. One South Carolina voter equals seven in Massachusetts.

In Mr. Scarborough's district only one person in fifty voted; in Mr. Lawrence's the proportion was one in seven. One South Carolina voter equals seven in Massachusetts. Compare the Seventh Carolina district, population 183,753, with the Nineteenth New York, population 183,375. In one the successful Democratic candidate was elected by a vote of 4,220, against an opposition of 167, Republican; in the other the Republican candidate got 17,878 votes against 17,338 Democratic and 1,529 divided among three other factions, the total vote polled being one-fifth of the population, as against one-forty-second of the population of the Seventh South Carolina. One voter in South Carolina equals eight in New York, and doesn't have to work so hard to elect his man. ALABAMA AND MINNESOTA Alabama sends nine Congressmen to the House; so does Minnesota. There is not a very wide difference in the population of the two states. Let us see how many voters it takes to elect a congressman in each. Representative Tawney, Republican, of the First Minnesota district, received 19,561 votes out of a total of 32,106, the population being 210,164. About one in six of the population voted. Representative Underwood, Democrat, of the Ninth Alabama, received 6,782 votes out of a total of 8,770, from a population of 213,820, one in twenty-four of the population voting. His Republican opponent received 1,793 votes—less than one-third of the Democratic vote. Alabama is in the "black belt." One white man in Alabama is worth four in Minnesota. In J. Adam Bede's district, the HEIM Weekly Gazette ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1904. STEADILY INCREASING Interest and Enthusiasm In the Prize Contest--Large Gains Made in Votes This Week The Gazette's prize contest has been in progress five weeks and it will be seven more before it is concluded. Saturday, the 17th day of December, has been decided upon as the last day of the contest, when the prizes will be awarded to the successful contestants. As yet there is nothing to indicate who will be the fortunate one to receive the first prize—the $500 Regent piano—which is apparently the one most of the contestants have their efforts centered upon. At the conclusion of the contest, the votes of each one of the contestants will be counted by a committee of disinterested business men. The contest is being conducted in such a way as to positively insure fairness to each one of the contestants, and it will be likewise concluded. Interest and enthusiasm in the contest is increasing unabated. New subscribers are being added to the Gazette's subscription list each week, and will continue so until the end of the contest. Within the next few days lists containing all delinquent subscribers to separated by only a small difference of eighty-five votes. Both are, indeed, making a very creditable showing. Mrs. Chas. Bauer's vote took a considerable jump this week, making an increase of thirty-one hundred over her vote of last week, which goes to prove that her efforts are being crowned with success. Mrs. Bauer has added a number of new subscribers to the Gazette's Westminster list, which fact advertisers will doubtless note with approval. The other contestants are also doing some very creditable work. It has been decided by the management of the contest to continue the coupon throughout the contest, thus giving the contestants the benefit of the same. The total gains made by contestants over their votes of last week amount to 9250 which is evidence sufficient to show that the interest continues to increase each week. The vote this week is as follows: Miss Belle Lyons... 883 Miss Nona McWilliams... 875 Mrs. Chas. Bauer, Westminster... 647 how that there are states in a basis of population in than two per cent. of the votes, while the average is anywhere from fifteen per cent? Before the votes were allowed to count their non-voting population, count the whole of their three population. Is this how that there is a district in which one-half of one the population votes? Do not in another only one per cent. of the population votes. In the Sixth district Mr. Reeder received 18,300 votes to 15,832 for the Democratic candidate and 306 for the Socialist. (There are as many Socialists in this district as there are Republicans in some of the southern states, according to the votes.) Mr. Reeder had 2,162 majority over the combined opposition—more than the entire vote, 2,124, which elected a Democrat in the Sixth Louisiana district. One in five of the population of Kansas votes. One in seventy-two of the population of three Louisiana districts votes. One Democratic voter in Louisiana is worth fourteen or fifteen Kansas Republicans. How about that? IOWA AND GEORGIA. Out of the eleven Georgia representatives in the House, ten were elected without opposition and the other one had an opposition of 860 to his 5,305 votes—not enough to worry him. He had the largest vote polled by any Georgia congressman, and Mr. Livingston of the Fifth district had the smallest—2,485 out of a population of 211,527. One in eighty-five of the people in his district voted. Iowa has the same number of districts and approximately the same population. In the Fifth district of Iowa Mr. Cousins received 19,516 votes out of 34,523, the total number cast in a population of 190,227. Twenty thousand difference in the population and 17,031 difference in the size of the vote cast by the winning candidate—and Mr. Cousins had the bigger vote and the smaller district. There is not one district in Georgia where more than four per cent. of the population votes. In the Seventh district the proportion is one to thirty-two; in the Sixth, one to forty-two; in the First, one to fifty; in the Second, one to fifty-nine; in the Eleventh and Third, one to sixty-three; in the Fourth, one to sixty-four; in the Tenth, one to sixty-seven; in the Eighth, one to sixty, and in the Fifth, as has been said, one to eighty-five. In the Second and Sixth districts of Iowa between one-fourth and one-fifth of the population votes, while the availance of Prohibitionist and Socialist in that election amounted to 934. The Prohibitionist and Socialist vote in the Fifth New Jersey district amounted to 1,529—more than is required to elect a Democrat in Mr. William's district, and the population is only 10,000 more at that. And the Democratic candidate for the Presidency talks of the danger of an "oligarchy!" Perished in Cave-In Jacob Kindt, aged 58, living near the river bridge south of town, lost his life in a cave-in at the Cole ranch, two miles northeast of Garden Grove, on Friday afternoon last. Kindt was at the bottom of a wellpit twenty feet deep putting in a cement floor when the accident occurred. James Klindt, his son, and Fred Loptien of Orange were at the top of the pit at the time and saved themselves from a similar fate by clinging to the well-pipe. The force of the falling earth was too great for the well casing, and the cement work was completely crushed. Kindt's body was recovered after two hours of incessant digging by a crowd which soon collected. Coroner Smith was summoned and an inquiry was held at the scene of the accident. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. Kindt leaves a wife and two children. THIEVES AT WORK Thieves broke into Hatzfeld's drug store on Friday night, effecting an entrance by breaking a large pane of glass in the front window. The cash register was broken into and a quantity of small change taken, amounting to $5.65. Cigars were taken from the cigar-bined votes of Prohibitionist and Socialist in that election amounted to 934. The Prohibitionist and Socialist vote in the Fifth New Jersey district amounted to 1,529—more than is required to elect a Democrat in Mr. William's district, and the population is only 10,000 more at that. And the Democratic candidate for the Presidency talks of the danger of an "oligarchy!" The Royal Month and the Royal Discus Sudden changes of weather are especially trying, and probably to non-more so than to the scrofulous and conspitive. The progress of scrofula its bunches, cutaneous eruptions and wasting of the bodily substance—with out thinking of the great good man sufferers from it have derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, whose radical and permanent cures of this one disease are enough to make it the most famous medicine in the world. There is probably not a city or town where Hood's Sarsaparilla has not proved its merits in more homes than one, in arresting and completely eradicating scrofula which is almost as serious and as much to be feared as its near relative, conspition. Saw Spirits J. H. Hughes, an employee of the quartermaster's department of the United States army, was taken into custody at Santa Ana some nights ago by Nightwatchman Baker who believed him to be of unsound mind. He was charged with a car of horses, which he was taking from the barracks at San Francisco to San Diego. He applied at several room houses for a room and acted in such a strange manner that he was refused each time. While talking to the proprietors of the lodging house in a sane manner he would suddenly cry out: "There she goes you can see her, but I can." To the officer he claimed that the spirit of a woman who was murdered in San Francisco by her husband a few days ago, because of jealousy, was haunting him, and that wherever he went it was present to aid him of being responsible for th There is not one district in Georgia where more than four per cent of the population votes. In the Seventh district the proportion is one to thirty-two; in the Sixth, one to forty-two; in the First, one to fifty; in the Second, one to fifty-nine; in the Eleventh and Third, one to sixty-three; in the Fourth, one to sixty-four; in the Tenth, one to sixty-seven; in the Eighth, one to sixty, and in the Fifth, as has been said, one to eighty-five. In the Second and Sixth districts of Iowa between one-fourth and one-fifth of the population votes, while the average throughout the state is about one in five. One Georgia Democrat equal to seventeen Iowa Republicans! It sounds like the old days when one planter and his two or three hundred slaves equaled some scores of free northern workmen. What ought to be done about this? MISSISSIPPI AND NEW JERSEY. John Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader of the House, is much troubled in mind about the rights of the Filipinos, who are deprived of proper representation. So long as there are 132 people in his own district who are not voting, to one who is, it seems as if the Mississippi might look nearer home. He was elected to the present Congress by the total vote in his district, 1,433, and there are 190,885 people in that district. One in 133 of them voted. There is another district in Mississippi, represented by Mr. Humphreys, who was also elected without opposition, receiving 1,146 votes out of a population of 232,174. The ratio in his district is 1 to 202. One-half of one per cent, of its population is Democratic. Perhaps the other ninety-nine and one-half is too, but there is no proof. The proportion of voters to the population in Mississippi is, in the First district, one to fifty-seven; in the Second, one to seventy-two; in the Fourth, one to seventy, and in the Fifth, one to ninety-one. Mr. McLain of the Seventh district merely received "every vote cast," which might have been 200,000 or 2,000. In the Eighth New Jersey district Mr. Wiley received 18,814 votes—more than ten times as many as Mr. Williams received in the Eighth Mississippi. The Democrat who ran against him got 22,005—more than eight times as many as Mr. Williams, and he was defeated at that. The com- THIEVES AT WORK Thieves broke into Hatzfeld's drugstore on Friday night, effecting an entrance by breaking a large pane of glass in the front window. The cash register was broken into and a quantity of small change taken, amounting to $5.65. Cigars were taken from the cigar case, which was found standing open Saturday morning when Mr. Hatzfeld entered his place of business. No one in the neighborhood heard the broken glass, although the size of the pane was large. There is no clew. TEACHERS' INSTITUTE County Superintendent of Schools J. B. Nichols has set the date for the holding of the annual county Teachers' Institute for November 21, 22 and 23, the three day's preceding Thanksgiving. Under this arrangement the entire week of Thanksgiving will be a school vacation throughout the county. The general programme of the institute will follow the precedent of former years, with the division of the teachers into groups for department work and general lectures for the whole corps by local and outside pedagogues. The date of the institute is set for that week in order to allow teachers to attend the Southern California Association meeting in Los Angeles, December 21, 22 and 23.

NUMBER 2 REASING In the Prize ns Made in Week CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS SEAWALL BONDS TO BE PAID BY SAN FRANCISCO Several Worthy Amendments Now Before the People Others which Ought to Be Defeated. A letter received at this office from Chas. H. Speer, president of the state board of harbor commissioners, states the proposed issue of $2,000,000 bonds for the extension of the seawall at San Francisco will be paid, principal and interest, by revenues collected from the seawall, and that no direct taxation will be levied upon the state on account of the bonds. Throughout Southern California there has existed a disposition to vote against these bonds, but in the light of Mr. Speer's letter upon the subject, voters should correctly inform themselves upon the question before voting in the dark. We have opposed these bonds, but shall now support them. The extension of the seawall at San Francisco is necessary, and if this indebtedness is to be met by revenues from it (which are large enough to so pay them), we do not understand why any voter in the state should oppose them. There has been no information upon this matter until Mr. Speer's letter. Let our voters inform themselves upon the subject and The Weekly Gazette.
