HALE DEFEATS WALKER New Political Star Puts Espee Politician in the Down and Out Club—As Senatorial Delegate Will Stand Squarely Upon Instructions of Convention A new political star of the first magnitude shone out in bright effulgence in the councils of north-end delegates at the republican county convention on Thursday—a party of the name of H. H. Hale of Placentia, who, almost entirely unknown to party leaders in other sections of the county, beat down the Walker push, and tucked the chief of the Espee machine safely away in his political coffin. The story forms part of the political history of the county, and is worth telling. A week before the primaries, Hale was solicited by friends to enter the fight for delegate to the county convention. He refused point blank, saying he was too busy a man to meddle with politics, and had no hankering after the game. However a meeting of Placentia republicans was held and a ticket put up in opposition to the one prepared by A. S. Bradford, who is and has been personally friendly to the Walker convention, so that in the August vention, in the consciousness of well performed, he can look to sembled delegates in the face, and to them: "I have kept the faith That Talk About Trait From Riverside come reports the Estudillo push will make a to secure two delegates from the county to ignore their instruction vote for him. This will give nomination. Republican leaders in this dismiss the story as absurd. Hale the thirteen delegates from the county to the senatorial conference which meets at Riverside July 14. J. W.

They A week before the primaries, Hale was solicited by friends to enter the fight for delegate to the county convention. He refused point blank, saying he was too busy a man to meddle with politics, and had no hankering after the game. However a meeting of Placentia republicans was held and a ticket put up in opposition to the one prepared by A. S. Bradford, who is and has been personally friendly to the Walker outfit. Hale headed this opposition ticket, and it swept the precinct primaries by a vote of 38 to 11. In the convention at Santa Ana on Thursday, the delegates from Fullerton, Placentia, Orangethorpe and La Habra, 24 in number, caucussed and resolved to stand as a unit against Walker on whatever proposition he advanced, and to fight him in his efforts to get a place for himself upon either the senatorial district or state delegations. This was not a majority of the Third supervisor district delegates, but was an entering wedge which played havoc with the Espee man during the convention. These delegates favored the election of Hale as a delegate to the senatorial district convention, although he announced he did not care to attend the convention, but that Walker should not go. Walker's friends, hearing of what had happened, called a caucus of Anaheim and West Anaheim delegates, who voted, 17 to 3, to support Walker for delegate to either the senatorial or state convention. An effort had been made to get the entire membership of the Third district into a caucus, but, when the action of the Fullerton-Placentia - Orangethorpe - La Habra caucus was spread about the hall, it was given up. Walker made a personal appeal to delegates to support him, but he was turned down, and speaking to a friend, said: "I guess I'll step out of it." H. A. Dickel of this city had been elected a delegate to the senatorial district convention at large. He declined the honor, and after conferring with a number of friends decided to withdraw in favor of H. H. Hale. Dickel tendered his resignation to the new county central committee, and recommended Hale in his place. Walker, who is a member of the School Census Chester Spencer has completed school census of Anaheim school district and finds a total of 739 children school age in the district, between 17 years.

Dickel of this city had been elected a delegate to the senatorial district convention at large. He declined the honor, and after conferring with a number of friends decided to withdraw in favor of H. H. Hale. Dickel tendered his resignation to the new county central committee, and recommended Hale in his place. Walker, who is a member of the committee from Buena Park, arose and shouted: "No, no, no; if Dickel can't go, let him give his proxy." Chairman Morrison put the question and it was carried by a viva voce vote 10 to 5. Walker called for a standing vote, and Morrison, who seemed considerably rattled over the scrap, again put the question, after he had once declared it carried, and Hale again won by a vote of 12 to 11. Several members of the committee refrained from voting, but on a show-down they were anti-Walker. Later, when Morrison and Secretary Ulm were on the platform making out the list of delegates, Walker walked up and said: "That man Hale hadn’t ought to go on that delegation; he ain’t no good, and has no business on the delegation." Ulm proceeded to read the riot act to Walker, telling him the matter was over and he would not be permitted to create further trouble. Walker subsided. Hale is a Placentia farmer. He is a man of great force of character, and is clean. He knows Estudillo’s record as a Southern Pacific hireling, and will oppose his nomination for senator. He will stand by the instruction of the for the water company, and was one of the most efficient men in the employ of the company.
