RESULTS OF THE ELECTION An observant republican of the north side expresses his surprise that the democrats did not make a clean sweep of things in this county, there was such "boot-jacking" and hairpulling among republicans. If this observation seems extreme, in the light of President Roosevelt's majority of 1700 two years ago, a glance at the footings in the election table published upon another page will serve speedily to dispel it. While the popularity of a number of republican candidates was such that they defeated their opponents by handsome majorities, yet where the democrats engaged in a real contest for an office, the vote is singularly close, and gives warning to republicans that while the county is reasonably safe for the republican national policy, this day. His association with anti-saloonists or prohibition ty undoubtedly cost him the tion. He was accused of siding one of the “pledge-cards,” he strenuously denied. His ment was followed by affliction from five men, living in different parts of the county, declaring had seen his name attached to card. They were challenge produce it. They retorted it been destroyed. Photograph cards bearing Walker’s signature are said to have been in circulation on election day. Thousands circulars were distributed throughout the county attacking him his disavowal of his alleged ing of the pledge card. If Walker signed one of political cards, and when questioned concerning it had stood fully by it, we believe he would have been elected; although would have been far better to steered clear of the whole political dry weather people. Walker had poor counsel during the campaign is admitted by familiar with political condition existing in the county. We lieve he is at heart honest and corruptible. Many of the stories circulated about him during campaign we know to be absolutely false. We are sorry at the come of the fight. That Mr. Potter should have defeated for treasurer by Joplin is one of the anomalies. of a number of republican candidates was such that they defeated their opponents by handsome majorities, yet where the democrats engaged in a real contest for an office, the vote is singularly close, and gives warning to republicans that while the county is reasonably safe for the republican national policy, it is no sure shot which man will win in a local election. That the democrats made mistakes during the campaign is admitted without argument. In the first place, their neglect to nominate candidates for assessor, recorder and coroner was a grave political blunder. It lent no strength to the bobtail ticket placed in the field. Three strong men up for these offices, making an energetic canvass through the county, would have been no mean adversaries for their opponents. The democrats' next mistake was in calling off their county meetings. Their candidates were reported to be at cross-purposes each with the other, and over and above them all seemed to hover a despair which was rooted in Roosevelt's great majority of two years before. Had they maintained a spirited instead of a listless fight, they might have landed more of their men. How fared it with the republicans? Was their campaign without political flaw? Not by a large majority. Calling the county convention in June, instead of having it follow the usual rule and come in August, was probably the worst "break" the party ever lent itself to since the organization of the county. That this was done in the interest of one of the defeated candidates is well understood; but it was worse than folly for him to begin the campaign with what existing in the county. We lieve he is at heart honest and corruptible. Many of the stricter circulated about him during his campaign we know to be absolutely false. We are sorry at the come of the fight. That Mr. Potter should have been defeated for treasurer by Joplin is one of the anomalies politics. No one can explain except that Potter was treasonously deceived by those supplying to be his friends. Vindictive personal attacks were made against him in secret, and these probabilities conspired to help bring about unfortunate result. Mr. Dutton's defeat for superior or is probably due more to the fact of his short residence in this city which was conceded the nomination, than any other one that Mr. Linebarger's large majority in Fullerton and Olinda were great to be successfully overcrowded. The party must bring back the fold those who have temporarily left it. True, some have given for the party's good, but the last majority of them are the very chief of independent republican voters whom the party needs in its councils and its battles at the ball box. They should not be ostracised from affiliating with the party by any semblance of machine work, either at the caucus, the primary or during the campaign. You can name scores of such republicans about us, and judging by returns, as compared with the party's magnificent majority of years ago, there must have been hundreds of others similarly minced in other precincts of the county. Hoity-toity! Here we hear folks getting their tomahawks on low the usual rule and come in August, was probably the worst "break" the party ever lent itself to since the organization of the county. That this was done in the interest of one of the defeated candidates is well understood; but it was worse than folly for him to begin the campaign with what savored so much of "machine politics." It was an act of political dishonesty to spring the convention in June. Mr. Ruef might be able to pull off such conventions in the stricken metropolis of the north, and political bosses elsewhere might be able to follow his example, but here in Orange county such tactics do not pass current, and the man achieving temporary success by such action is most surely riding to a fall on election day. Mr. Walker, for sheriff, was the worst beaten man on the ticket, when under different political management he might have won by the largest majority. Walker's first criticism at the hands of his party associates came with the early call for the convention. Rightly or wrongly, they associated his name with the plan for an early convention, and it left a bad taste in the mouth, that has not vanished to Hoity-toity! Here we hear folks getting their tomahawks out for use at the next county election. Drop this business, its bad politics and four years is a long way off. The party has too many knives unsheathed as it is. It is time to get together, fall upon one another's necks, kiss and make up. Otherwise we shall move to turn the county over to the democrats. Prince Kropotkin says that the Russian authorities are deporting voters wholesale prior to the elections. Just shows the difference here we import them. In order to enter the county treasurer's office after the first of the year, advance and give the Ku Klux countersign.

Potter should have for treasurer by J. C. of the anomalies of from corporations, all of which were promptly returned with thanks. Looks as though both ends of this story needed confirmation. SUPERVISOR LINEBARGER has requested us to extend his thanks to voters in neighboring precincts who supported him at last week's election. He promises that all road moneys shall be applied fairly in each road district, and that it shall be his endeavor to give the district the best roads in his power to bestow. Voters will take Mr. Linebarger at his word, and will expect him to live up to it to the letter. Roads south and west of town are in miserable condition—in fact they are bad all about us—but we believe the supervisor is determined to remedy this evil at the earliest possible moment. On the other hand, we invite readers of this paper in all parts of the district to write us regarding roads needing attention in their immediate vicinity. It is the super­visor's duty to repair these roads to the extent that he has money to do it with. Let us hear from you, and see if we cannot get to work upon some of these bum thoroughfares.

Let us hear from you, and see if we cannot get to work upon some of these bum thorough-fares. The three defeated candidates—Potter, Dutton and Walker—hail from Buena Park, and until recently could talk to each other over their back fences. It is the first time in the history of the county that Buena Park has been so unfairly dealt with—it has always returned home with the political bacon hitherto. Buena Park knows how to win because it knows how to stand together. It lost by a fluke this time. The indications are that Countess Anna's divorce suit will break up some eight or ten of Count Boni's happy homes. Tom Lawson announces that he is going to commence writing fiction. According to H. H. Rodgers, he has never written anything else. George Bernard Shaw has been picking a lot of flaws in the Ten Commandments. This won't hurt the Ten Commandments materially and is at least an indication that George Bernard has read them. That story that Croesus was worth only $100,000 in real money merely confirms the belief that he was one of the general high financiers of his day and generation.

William Isenberg, who had charge of large knitting works in San Francisco before the earthquake, is starting the factory here. The northern plant was destroyed and the company has been unable to collect its insurance. Mr Isenberg says he can turn out a large quantity of goods on the seven machines, and that in the near future he hopes to place an order for more machines and to give employment to a large number of people. His father operates a large knitting plant in Germany. Bill had a bill-board. Bill also had a board bill. The board bill bored Bill so that Bill sold the bill board to pay his board bill. So after Bill sold his bill-board to pay his board bill the board bill no longer bored Bill.
