The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....50 Cts. The Gazette is issued every Thursday morning. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. Has the Largest Circulation THOSE FEDERAL SHIPS AGAIN The Santa Ana Register continues its ghost dance upon the vote of Speaker Stanton and Assemblyman Melrose upon the Sanford resolution calling upon congress to establish a federal line of steamers between the western terminus of the Panama canal and Pacific coast points. Both gentlemen voted for this resolution, as the Register knows if it knows any thing at all. There is no question of "accuracy of transportation and interpretation of the legislative records," as the Register points out. That is absurd. What the Register and Mr. Hichborn say of the votes of these gentlemen in changing Sanford's preamble is true. But the objection we make to both the Register and Hichborn is this: That they hold, and have so declared, that because Stanton and Melrose voted to change the policies of Sanford's preamble. MR. STANTON AND MR. CURRY The fight for the republican nomination for governor is narrowing down to a contest between Mr. Stanton and Mr. Curry. We see a good deal in the newspapers about the relative "newspaper support" of both gentlemen. When it comes to purchaseable newspapers, Mr. Curry has the advantage, for he is understood to have the giving out of the governor's proclamation calling the November election. As secretary of state he will indicate in which newspapers this advertisement shall be printed. All the newspapers in Southern California which are for Curry have experienced the "sticking-up process" indicated. A complete list of these able and influential papers will be published in due time. Mr. Stanton has no such newspaper support; he needs none. The newspapers which are supporting him are doing so through patriotic motives, without fear of the loss of any advertising patronage from the affable secretary of state. Meantime, republicans of the south who are earnestly desirous of naming the governor will rally to the support of Philip A. Stanton, who never wore the collar of a corporation, does not now and never will. For Governor of California, Philip A. Stanton, the Man of the Hour. THE PARTY CIRCLE Excellent Reasons Why Speaker Stanton Refused to Abolish It Mr. Stanton and Mr. Curry Arthur Pillsbury, editor of California Weekly, who rins crouching behind even like the devil behind the dy to spring upon him his eyetooth, thus referent of Mr. Stanton for his issue of the 1st in heading, "The Near View": "It is easy to under influence of a small one. It is often greater in where it circulates than fluence of any metropolis that community." A smaller paper in the State the Anas ranks well, and it gets for Right Things. This not. It is boosting the P. A. Stanton and, straight because he 'bears scarce against the machine.' been occasions when Sact acted with the Herrin 'o he did not at the Santa tion, but none of the k got in any such fight scar, whereas such scarc received, and of which rid himself, he got for the ranks of the 'organization against it. The reason not made speaker of th three years ago is that lee was and Stanton h There may have been thing disciplinary in as the Register knows if it knows any thing at all. There is no question of "accuracy of transportation and interpretation of the legislative records," as the Register points out. That is absurd. What the Register and Mr. Hichborn say of the votes of these gentlemen in changing Sanford's preamble is true. But the objection we make to both the Register and Hichborn is this: That they hold, and have so declared, that because Stanton and Melrose voted to change the verbiage of Sanford's preamble, therefore they were opposed to federal ships. The Register continues "The question at issue is the purport of Mr Melrose's vote on the amendment striking from the Sanford resolution the request for a federal line of steamers." The Register knows this statement is false, and so does Hichborn; yet both have repeatedly made it—Hichborn in his book and in newspaper articles, the Register in its "correspondence," which is furnished by Boss Lissner, who is flooding the state with this attack upon Stanton. This is the only charge which Hichborn makes in his book against Stanton which, if true, would unfit him for the governorship. The other four "charges" are farcical. They involve political questions, and while Hichborn may chew the rag as a socialist concerning them, Stanton's course meets with the approval of his party. But this matter of federal ships is not a political question. It is squarely the People or the Railroad. Knowing this, the Register-Lissner-Hichborn menagerie are sounding the hew-gag and beating the tom-tom with a view to beclouding the issue and placing Stanton in false position. If the Register's statement is true, Stanton's unfitness for the governorship is proven. That is the reason, probably, of its continued harping of this single string to its lyre. Its offense consists in asserting that because Stanton and Melrose voted to change the verbiage of the Sanford preamble, that therefore they voted against the line of ships. This, as we have several times pointed out, is false. Both gentlemen voted for the resolution calling for the ships, as the Register and Hichborn are aware. Yet they persist in iterating and reiterating the charge. The irresistible conclusion is that Mr. Hichborn knowingly prevaricates, and the Register more than ever fits itself Meantime, republicans of the south who are earnestly desirous of naming the governor will rally to the support of Philip A. Stanton, who never wore the collar of a corporation, does not now and never will. For Governor of California, Philip A. Stanton, the Man of the Hour. THE PARTY CIRCLE Excellent Reasons Why Speaker Stanton Refused to Abelish It If the Santa Ana Register, which reprinted Franklin Hichborn's attack upon Speaker Stanton, will turn to the official returns of the election for associate justices of the supreme court in 1902, it will find that Judge Angellotti received 155,828, and Judge Shaw 108,516. The latter ran 47,312 votes behind the man whose name was first on the ticket. Judge Shaw is one of the purest jurists in California, and there existed no reason why 47,312 republicans should have voted against him. Had the state been more evenly balanced politically the election would have resulted in election of Judge Angellotti and the democratic candidate whose name appeared first in the column set apart for nominees for that party. Here is where the Party Circle was born. Its purpose was to simplify voting. Forty-seven thousand voters were so careless, so indifferent in that election as to endanger the election of one of the ablest jurists who ever sat upon the bench of this state. It was the brain of Assemblyman Stanton which devised the Party Circle, which protected all candidates whose names appeared upon the ticket. By stamping a cross in the Party Circle, a vote is cast for all the candidates upon a ticket. If a voter desires to cast his ballot for a candidate not in his party's column, he stamps a cross in the square opposite the name of such candidate as he desires to support. That is all. The Party Circle goes over the democratic, socialist and other party tickets, as well as that of the republican. For obvious reasons the democrats desired to abolish it in the last legislature. Speaker Stanton said no, and his course meets with the approval of his party. Mr. Hichborn may rant and roar and the Santa Ana Register may inveigh against Stanton, but the republican party endorses his action as it does in all other political matters in which he has participated since his death. he did not at the Santa Clara institution, but none of the kings got in any such fight nor scar, whereas such scarcity received, and of which he rid himself, he got for him ranks of the 'organization' against it. The reason not made speaker of this three years ago is that Lee was and Stanton had there was, it worked a Stanton became speaker sembly of 1909 he was to the Political Bureau ing up of his committee Beardslee had been two than which Mr. Herd have the assurance to say Mr. Stanton has his countrys over against Anaheim Kuchel feels called upon the ambitions of the hither than those of a sword though that stranger be broader and a freer m might not make a bad he would not make an governor. He might be dependent than Andersen but he would not be insured Southern Pacific control. Let us see about these When Mr. Stanton was speaker of the house he member to indicate superscript assignments as he prefers one was given 50 such assignments. This like "program," does it have been "a little so pliny" in his defeat fership two years before the only member of his district delegation at Santa Fused to take railroad may also have been "thing disciplinary" in one of his committee chairmanship that of the commissary and means. The display machine was freely shouting the entire session. Of it all he maintained as leader of the republican house. He was elected spite of the well known Herrin was against him port first, of a solid Southern California delegation and so of many independent parts of the states Southern California legalized as organization re Southern Pacific railroads but a very limited num MR. SPRECKELS' VERMIFORM APPENDIX The San Diego Union is the second newspaper in Southern California to endorse Curry's nomination for governor. The Union is owned by John D. Spreckels, the San Francisco millionaire, who owns the Call, and who is said to be financing Curry's campaign. Naturally the Call is for Curry. Mike de Young and the Chronicle are for Anderson, and Crothers and his Bulletin are for Johnson. Los Angeles is solidly behind Stanton, and as Los Angeles will poll more votes this year than San Francisco, it will be seen that Stanton starts out with considerably the best of it, so far as the two big counties of the state are concerned. The northerners are, of course, for a northern man. The south has the votes to nominate, and it will nominate its candidate. The south saved Gillett and Pardee from northern snowstorms four years ago, and eight years ago. The north regards the south as merely good enough to roll up majorities for the ticket—to have nothing to say regarding the choice of candidates. Mr. Spreckels and his Southern California vermiform appendix may talk to the marines. The people want Stanton. For obvious reasons the democrats desired to abolish it in the last legislature. Speaker Stanton said no, and his course meets with the approval of his party. Mr. Hichborn may rant and roar and the Santa Ana Register may inveigh against Stanton, but the republican party endorses his action as it does in all other political matters in which he has participated since his entry into political life ten years ago. Mr. Hichborn is a socialist. Naturally he wants the Party Circle abolished. He is within his rights when doing so. But he should not attempt to style Stanton a "railroad man" because he does not accept Hichborn's views upon this matter. One of the five charges made by Hichborn against Speaker Stanton is the refusal of the latter to vote for a second reading for the defeated bill. In this the Speaker was right, as he was right in refusing to vote for the bill abolishing the circle. What possible weight can a newspaper have in espousing the cause of Charles F. Curry, when it is known that its utterances are purchased by the promise of printing the governor's proclamation? Who are these able and influential editors? Their names will appear in due time. There is one in Orange county; one in River side; one in San Diego; one in Imperial; and one, we believe, in San Bernardino county. Can these bought newspapers stem the tide, now strongly setting in, in favor of Philip A. Stanton? We shall see. What must be said of a newspaper which will so far forget itself, which is so lost to the principles of common decency, as to set itself against the wishes of the people, as to barter its birthright for such a miserable mess of pottery? In the name of commons has Mr. Hiram Johnson done against the Southern lical bureau to entitle support of anti-railroad for governor of California ver uttered a word against him became a candid artnorship. Mr. Stanton fight against the railroad ago when Judge McKinley defeat him in the seventh district convention and his push came his scalp, but Stanton a majority, we believe vote. The opposition continued during the enquiry and it is an open secret of the state that Herrin since have put Stanton tics entirely if he had swung Stanton's district Stanton was offered to governorship at Santa Clara for his support of Gillett refusal was told by the should never return MR. STANTON AND THE RAILROAD Arthur Pillsbury, editor of the California Weekly, who sees a Herrin crouching behind every lamppost, like the devil behind the hedge, ready to spring upon him and yank out his eyetooth, thus refers to our support of Mr. Stanton for governor, in his issue of the 1st inst., under the heading, "The Near and Narrow View": "It is easy to underestimate the influence of a small country paper. It is often greater in the little field where it circulates than is the influence of any metropolitan paper in that community. Among these smaller papers in the smaller towns of the State the Anaheim Gazette ranks well, and it generally stands for Right Things. This time it does not. It is boosting the candidacy of P. A. Stanton and, strangely enough, because he 'bears scars of his fight against the machine.' There have been occasions when Stanton has not acted with the Herrin 'organization', as he did not at the Santa Cruz convention, but none of the knocks he ever got in any such fight ever made a scar, whereas such scars as he has received, and of which he will never rid himself, he got for fighting in the ranks of the 'organization' and not against it. The reason Stanton was not made speaker of the assembly three years ago is that Bob Beardslee was and Stanton had to wait. There may have been a little something disciplinary in this and, if ture. The railroad could not beat him, and it did not beat him. But there was "a little something disciplinary" at Sacramento, as Mr. Pillsbury so accurately points out. What has Johnson ever done to reform the politics of this state that Editor Pillsbury shouts for him so vociferously? Not only that, but why does Editor Pillsbury see in every other candidate a stalking horse for the candidate of the Southern Pacific railroad. Why does he say, as he does in another part of his issue of the 1st, that Stanton will be pulled down by Herrin for Curry? Why does he say that Alden Anderson will be so pulled down? Why does he say that Ellery has been put into the fight to help Curry's declining political fortunes? Why is it he sees nothing but Johnson on the one hand and Herrin and the railroad on the other? In a word, Mr. Pillsbury, who is probably the most forceful editorial writer in the state, sees nothing but Herrin in everything. We of Southern California are not provincial, but we want the governor to come, this time from the south. Four years ago, and again eight years ago, the republicans of the south saved Gillett and Pardee from the irretrievable defeat they had sustained in the north. We of the fourth equalization district have more votes, more taxable wealth and a third more territorial area than the three equalization districts of the north combined; yet the northern equalizers outvote our southern member and jab us with a raise of our assessed valuation to the extent of $321,000,000. Let Mr. he did not at the Santa Cruz convention, but none of the knocks he ever got in any such fight ever made a scar, whereas such scars as he has received, and of which he will never rid himself, he got for fighting in the ranks of the 'organization' and not against it. The reason Stanton was not made speaker of the assembly three years ago is that Bob Beardslee was and Stanton had to wait. There may have been a little something disciplinary in this and, if there was, it worked a cure, for when Stanton became speaker of the assembly of 1909 he was as obedient to the Political Bureau in the making up of his committees as Bob Beardslee had been two years before, than which Mr. Herrin would not have the assurance to ask more. But Mr. Stanton has his country residence over against Anaheim and Editor Kuchel feels called upon to sustain the ambitions of the home man rather than those of a stranger, although that stranger be a bigger, broader and a freer man. Stanton might not make a bad governor, but he would not make an anti-machine governor. He might be more independent than Anderson or Curry, but he would not be independent of Southern Pacific control." Let us see about these things: When Mr. Stanton was elected speaker of the house he asked every member to indicate such committee assignments as he preferred and every one was given 50 per cent of such assignments. This hardly looks like "program," does it? There may have been "a little something disciplinary" in his defeat for the speakership two years before, for he was the only member of his assembly district delegation at Santa Cruz who refused to take railroad orders. There may also have been "a little something disciplinary" in depriving him of his committee chairmanships, notably that of the committee on ways and means. The displeasure of the machine was freely shown him during the entire session. Yet in spite of it all he maintained his position as leader of the republicans in the house. He was elected speaker in spite of the well known fact that Herrin was against him, by the support, first, of a solid Southern California delegation and, second, by that of many independent party men in other parts of the state. While these Southern California legislators were rated as organization republicans the Southern Pacific railroad controlled but a very limited number of them. Delinquent Notice.

Let Mr. Pillsbury point out a single scar which Stanton bears in voting against the interests of the people and for the railroad. He cannot do it.Not a single time.Let him have faith and be cheerful.Not every man in California except Johnson, wears the railroad collar.In a word,let him assume his former stature,and shading his eyes as he peers to the southwardlooking over the Tehachapi,s sees the Man of the Hour in Philip A. Stanton whom republicans of the south and the north as well intend to elect to the high position of governor of California. The Gazette is not wrong in championing Mr. Stanton's candidacy.
