The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. THE SENATORIAL FIGHT OF 1904 The astute Riverside Press, always interesting in its political observations, always insisting it is everlastingly right and the other fellow everlastingly wrong; sometime amusing in its arguments as to politics, prints a reference to the fight for state senator four years ago which will occasion a broad smile in Orange county. Quoting from our recent reference to the contest in the Thirty-ninth district in 1904, and charging us with inaccuracy as to the attempt on the part of Riverside to secure the renomination of Senator Caldwell, it proceeds: Either the memory of the editor of the Gazette is poor or else he was very inadequately informed as to the course taken by Senator Caldwell and his friends in Riverside county four years ago. As a matter of fact, Mr. Caldwell was never an active candidate and no campaign for his nomination was made by politicians or newspapers in this county. His services in Sacramento were highly satisfactory to his constituents in both counties and his activity was specially valuable in connection with the fight against the Works bill in the defeat of which both counties were vitally interested. A number of prominent republicans supported Caldwell who supported Caldwell wily McFadden, the reason bein response to McFadden’s Caldwell bolted the legislature for United States senate Perkins secured his passage. McFadden kins had been like unto Pythias in politics, fell out when Steve Kelly get Johnny Lynch’s job or of San Francisco. McFadden forced Caldwell Riverside in 1900. Caldwell’s bidding in memorial caucus at Sacramento the following legislature wonder, then, that McFadden to renominate his tool from McFadden and his not a single republican in county would for an institution Caldwell’s reno. The Press’ suggestion Riversiders considered their impropriety in “co-operating republicans of this county well’s renomination is coy, disingenuous. The Riversiders out for everything in sight confident of landing their when they arrived at Orford only James McFadden to help them—only Jim and more. Our memory is not these premises, nor are formed. On the contrary reverse. As to Caldwell’s record Works bill, an Orange man Either the memory of the editor of the Gazette is poor or else he was very inadequately informed as to the course taken by Senator Caldwell and his friends in Riverside county four years ago. As a matter of fact, Mr. Caldwell was never an active candidate and no campaign for his nomination was made by politicians or newspapers in this county. His services in Sacramento were highly satisfactory to his constituents in both counties and his activity was specially valuable in connection with the fight against the Works bill in the defeat of which both counties were vitally interested. A number of prominent republicans in Orange county suggested that it seemed doubtful if that county could unite on a candidate and in this case they would be glad to see Caldwell returned. Mr. Caldwell and his friends naturally did not try to discourage any such a movement; they felt that if when the convention met a considerable part of the Orange county delegation desired to support Caldwell there would be no impropriety in the Riverside delegates co-operating with them. They did not, however, do any active campaigning in Orange county; they left the situation there to be developed by the party leaders of the county. The final outcome was that while a warm fight was waged between Anderson and Melrose and the delegates did come to the convention at Orange seemingly hopelessly divided, they got together at the last and stood solid back of Anderson. Then the Riverside delegates cordially agreed to his nomination. That Riverside desired Caldwell’s renomination and exerted an effort to secure it in the fight between the two factions in the party in Orange county, is perfectly well known throughout the district, and especially to those who are at all conversant with Riverside’s grab-it-all policy. If Riverside did not wish the renomination of their man, what did the delegates to the Orange convention mean by beginning their customary button-holing tactics the moment they reached Orange? In the knowledge that the county was in a scrap over the office, they tried with all their force to win over a sufficient number of delegates to give him the nomination. In fact, seeing that this could not be done, a scheme was hatched by these ever fertile men of the hills to entice a single vote away from support of the two Orange county men, and thus give Caldwell on first ballot as many votes as his two opponents com- Taft a Winner There is considerable gratification over the pro-Taft boom. The earl force to win over a sufficient number of delegates to give him the nomination. In fact, seeing that this could not be done, a scheme was hatched by these ever fertile men of the hills to entice a single vote away from support of the two Orange county men, and thus give Caldwell on first ballot as many votes as his two opponents combined. This would of course have nominated him on second ballot. If Riverside did not desire Caldwell’s renomination, what meaning must be attributed to the words of Mr. Mills in referring to “Caldwell’s self-effacement” in retiring from the fight when the valley delegates came to an agreement on Anderson? Of course George Frost was in the convention and shed no tears over Caldwell’s retirement. Four years before, at Riverside, San Bernardino forced Caldwell upon the senatorial district, with the co-operation of the James McFadden wing of the party in this county, and Mr. Frost, who was Riverside’s choice, had to bow his proud head in defeat. Frost sawed wood in the Orange convention, but as he pulled his whiskers and said nothing, perhaps his memory went back to Y. M. C. A. hall at Riverside four years before. Yet Caldwell himself was at the convention, exerting his every endeavor to secure a renomination. Taft a Winner There is considerable gratification over the pro-Taft boom. The early rises, following the declaration Taft in over sixty out of eight counties in Ohio, stained to clear up all doubt may have existed as to the state and the report sections indicate that the of the Secretary of War is rapidly. The Taft people that their candidate will vote on the first ballot national convention without any state which has son, while they also count ditional 109 votes as good which they believe will be Taft; 491 is all that are nominate. It has always been the strong points of the party that it stands staunch the party nominee and that is decided who the nominee the better it is for the polls. An early decision ample time for the dis ones to forget their disappea and to get into line. For all diseases and operative eyes and the scientific adj glasses see Drs. Smith & A Center St. only man in Orange county reported Caldwell was James Fenner, the reason being that, because to McFadden's bidding, he bolted the legislative caucus of United States senator when he secured his party's entrant. McFadden and Perlid been like unto Damon Chias in politics, but they when Steve Kelly tried to deny Lynch's job as collector Francisco. Kelly and then forced Caldwell upon him in 1900. Caldwell did Fenner's bidding in the senateucus at Sacramento duringrowing legislature. Small then, that McFadden tried eliminate his tool. Apart from Fadden and his satellites single republican in Orange would for an instant countrie Caldwell's renomination. Press' suggestion that the editors considered there was no unity in "co-operating" with maps of this county for Caldwell nomination is coy, naive and fugous. The Riversiders were everything in sight, and were out of landing their man, but they arrived at Orange they only James McFadden there them—only Jim and nothing our memory is not at fault in premises, nor are we misin-On the contrary quite the Caldwell's record upon the bill, an Orange man—Samuel NO JAP "SITUATION". Now that the Jap situation seems (by the announcement of Count Hayashi that no more Japanese will be permitted to come to this country) to have resolved itself into a very thin brand of hot air, it might be worth while for the hysterical Los Angeles papers, as well as timid correspondents of the associated press, to give themselves pause and size up the character of the ridicule which ought to be showered upon them. The latest of these outgivings came from Washington the other day, when the associated press gravely announced that "Japan would probably be displeased" at Secretary Metcalf's statement to the senate committee on naval affairs that the United States navy was more powerful than that of any western power. A day or two previously a French editor, interviewed in New York upon the situation in the Far East, was quoted as saying that Japan would in case of war land an army of 80,000 soldiers on the Pacific coast, and that it would require five years to drive them out! Not so long ago we read in the day's telegraphic news that 40,000 Japs were encamped in Sonora, ready to rush over the American border and seize Texas, sweep over New Mexico and Arizona, and invade California. An editor who would print such stuff had best be in an insane asylum. Caldwell's record upon the bill, an Orange man—Samuel Staught Caldwell his ABC's treasure.

Not so long ago we read in the day's telegraphic news that 40,000 Japs were encamped in Sonora, ready to rush over the American border and seize Texas, sweep over New Mexico and Arizona, and invade California. An editor who would print such stuff had best be in an insane asylum. What would the two million sturdy sons of Texas—decendants of sires who fought at the Alamo and at the ever glorious battle of San Jacinto—do to this handful of pagan invaders? We desire to softly whisper in the ear of the alarmist editor who printed this "news" (for the sake of raking in a few extra shekels from his street sales) that the Texans, in the parlance of the street, wouldn't do a thing to them. These other reports, including that of Lieut. Hobson recently referred to in these columns, are quite as ridiculous. This hysteria about the "defense-less position of Los Angeles," the "defenseless condition of Hawaii;" the lack of fortifications here, the lack of fortifications there, must be superlatively amusing at Washington. As a matter of fact, our Pacific ports are tolerably well fortified, San Francisco's defenses being well-nigh impregnable. San Diego's fortifications are not formidable, but the battery of great disappearing rifles at Point Loma, with a range of 14 miles, throwing projectiles weighing 650 pounds at the rate of one every ten seconds, could make it interesting for any hostile fleet that might essay the capture of that city. These fortifications are to be greatly strengthened and amplified, as they should be, and so should the northern ports be more adequately protected, but there is no necessity Remember me ANAHEIM, CAL.

The early primal showing the declaration for over sixty out of eighty counties in Ohio, seems clear up all doubt which he existed as to the situation in Ohio and the reports from all indicate that the strength Secretary of War is growing. The Taft people figure their candidate will have 504 votes in the first ballot in the national convention without drawing state which has a favorite one they also count on an ad-109 votes as good as assured they believe will be cast for it is all that are needed to do. It has always been one of long points of the republican that it stands staunchly behind any nominee and the earlier it had who the nominee shall be after it is for the party at the early decision affords time for the disappointed forget their disappointment set into line. Diseases and operations on the coast the scientific adjustment of Drs. Smith & Agnew, 105½ ft. projectiles weighing 650 pounds at the rate of one every ten seconds, could make it interesting for any hostile fleet that might essay the capture of that city. These fortifications are to be greatly strengthened and amplified, as they should be, and so should the northern ports be more adequately protected, but there is no necessity for such things in many places now clamoring for them, any more than fortifications are necessary at Tomato Springs. Let us fortify our coast ports, but let us be men for a moment and cut out this hysteria. That the present generation, or the next, will live to see a Japanese fleet in these Pacific waters is greatly to be doubted. What would befall a fleet six thousand miles away from its base, against the American fleet? No combination of fleets could exist in these waters against us, possessed as we are of our naval bases, coal supplies, the cables, as well as our coast defenses. If ever a foreign fleet appears in these waters, it will be because the American navy has been swept from the seas, and our country lies prostrate at the feet of the foreign foe. That time, we rise to remark, has not yet made its appearance, nor is it likely ever to. Count Hayashi has issued an or- disturbed by visions invasion.
