Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. TAFT REPUBLICANS OF CALIFORNIA Democrats and insurgent republicans of California are together facing a tremendous opposing force in the campaign that precedes the primary election. The issue is not so much political as commercial, while it has not figured to any great extent in public speeches and literature distributed, it promises to play havoc with the well laid plans of leaders representing four of the leading candidates for the presidential nomination. Briefly, the situation is this. More than 50,000 farmers, orchardists and others engaged or employed in tilling the soil have made up their minds that their own interests and those of the state are not to be entrusted to a congress made up of democrats and insurgent republicans, especially when backed up by a president professing the same doctrines. Growers of citrus fruit in Southern California and the Oroville district; raisin growers of the San Joaquin and beet sugar men scattered through a score of California counties are absolutely convinced that the downfall of the Taft administration would have a most disastrous effect upon every industry that could be reached through the medium of a free-trade bill. Democratic adherents vainly promise that there are to be exceptions, and insurgent statesmen from California who voted with the ers of prunes, of raisins, and of olives, are demanding of the progressives if they, too, must combine to resist interference with their pursuits and if each session of congress under the order of things proposed will make it necessary to engage in an expensive campaign to oppose experiments with the tariff laws of the country. A CRISIS IN BEET SUGAR A crisis in the life of the beet-sugar industry of California is at hand. A measure to surrender the beet sugar industry of the United States into the hands of the sugar trust is now before the senate finance committee. Should this bill become a law more than 1,800,000 tons of cane sugar raised in foreign tropics and by tropic labor will be admitted duty free into the United States. The measure is fostered by the cane sugar refining trust, against which a government suit for dissolution is pending. If this bill becomes a law the beet sugar factories of California must close down and an industry in which 108,000 acres devoted to beets paying $6,000,000 yearly to California farmers will be destroyed. When we had free cane sugar the sugar trust paid dividends of 25 per cent. Today they pay 7 percent. Does the sugar trust want cane sugar duty free for the benefit of the public? It has taken time to establish the beet sugar industry—to find the soil, the climate. In ten years more the United States can produce all the sugar it needs. Beet sugar is the only source of supply that can ultimately fill the American demand. On the other hand the price of cane sugar must inevitably advance because the countries from which we import are close to the limit of their productive capacity. We ask your help to fight this The full strength of the probable opposition to Roosevelt, La Follette, Wilson and Clark was evidenced a few days ago in an announcement by the California Beet Sugar Association, which has enrolled twenty-five thousand Southern California agriculturists in the fight against a free sugar bill as contemplated by the action of the democratic house. The sugar beet growers, who are just beginning to reap the benefit of years of scientific experiment, are fighting for the future of 108,000 acres of California land and an increase of approximately $6,000,000 per year. More than this, they are fighting for the preservation of an industry that has a magnificent potential future, since the limit of production has been reached elsewhere, while the consumption of sugar increases by leaps and bounds, making it positive that thousands of acres of idle California land may be devoted to sugar beet culture. So powerful is the influence of the beet growers in this one instance of opposition to tariff changes that they enlisted the activity of the chambers of commerce of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento and other cities and the California Development Board, which represents the entire state. It was in discussion before these and kindred bodies—not in political headquarters—that the policy of the democrats was assailed and the action of the progressives denounced. Former friends and supporters of two members of the California congressional delegation led in denunciation of the senator and representative who had deserted state interests for the sake of opposing the administration. The grow- FOREIGN LEMONS Neither the tariff nor blizzardly weather seems to affect the importation of lemons. In fact, the foreign lemon meets with such a profitable market in this country that it readily pays the tariff, and at the same time submits to a tax of from 5 to 10 cents per box paid toward a fund which has been used in fighting the tariff and trying to induce congress to put lemons on the free list. Last week there was real winter weather in New York—a blizzard, as some of the dispatches said; and yet that week the steamships Piedmont and Giulia brought in 23,600 boxes of lemons from Sicily and, according to the Fruitman's Guide, the "Demand was quite active, both from local and interior jobbers." As a result the prices were from 25 to 30 cents higher than last week's close." On Thursday the Alice, Princess Irene and Emelia brought in $2,000 boxes and prices jumped up again 10 to 15 cents a box more, firsts bringing $2.75 to $3.40 per box of 300, and seconds $2.30 to $3.05 per box of 300. Besides these cargoes the Taormina brought in 8200 boxes, and the Italia 31,000 boxes. The K. Albert was due the 23d of March with 9000 boxes. The Valsalice with 9700 boxes, and the Carpathia with 15,700 boxes were due the 27th. Besides these beet sugar industry—to find the soil, the climate. In ten years more the United States can produce all the sugar it needs. Beet sugar is the only source of supply that can ultimately fill the American demand. On the other hand the price of cane sugar must inevitably advance because the countries from which we import are close to the limit of their productive capacity. We ask your help to fight this measure. It is a fight for the life of a great California industry. If you are for beet sugar in California we urge you to let your convictions be known. To remain silent is to be against the industry. It is our hope that every loyal Californian will wire or write to Senators George C. Perkins and John D. Works at Washington, D.C., so that they may show their colleagues how California stands on the beet sugar industry. Every letter will help. Show our representatives at Washington that thousands of Californians are for this industry. FOREIGN LEMONS At EDGAR GROCER Why don't are right o 110 N.

HELMSEN Thursday the Alice, Princess Irene and Emelia brought in 32,000 boxes and prices jumped up again 10 to 15 cents a box more, firsts bringing $2.75 to $3.40 per box of 300, and seconds $2.30 to $3.05 per box of 300. Besides these cargoes the Taormina brought in 8200 boxes, and the Italia 31,000 boxes. The K. Albert was due the 23d of March with 9000 boxes. The Valsalice with 9700 boxes, and the Carpathia with 15,700 boxes were due the 27th. Besides these there are in transit the Franconia, 12,400 boxes; Oceanic, 2000; Hamburg 23,000, Laltico 14,000, Atlanta 6,000, Erodiade 28,000, and Laura 6900. This makes a total of 222,300 boxes, or the respectable amount of 17,784,000 pounds, or about 70,000,000 lemons received and afloat en route to New York in one week in very nearly the dead of winter. Almost one lemon for each person in the country. For an industry which has been pleading for favors at the hands of congress; which has alleged that the California lemon was crowding it out of the market because the home-grown fruit was better than the imported; which has been paying a heavy tax to try to influence legislation in congress, this seems to be a pretty healthy showing. Meanwhile the tariff on lemons is adding very materially to the income of the government. It helps pay the cost of running the country and incidentally it is helping develop an industry in this country which will, in time, supply all the lemons the people can use without dependence on the foreign article.

Center St. BASEBALL Tuft-Lyons Defeat Locals on Sunday by 6 to 3 Score Six to three, with the home team on the losing side of the board, was the score in Sunday's baseball game between Anaheim and the Tuft-Lyons of Los Angeles. Sawyer's base hit and subsequent score in the initial inning appeared to knock all the ginger out of the locals, and the game was listless and uninteresting throughout the nine innings. Even Pratt's drive over third base which netted him a home run in the ninth, failed to elicit a ripple of excitement. The game was lost and everybody knew it. In the first inning Henricks reached first on a grounder through the diamond, but was caught in attempting to steal second. Lind struck out Miller, Huntington and Schultz in the second, and the T-L's were retired on flys to Mensenkamp and Fisher and a grounder to first base. This story was repeated in the third but in the fourth Mensenkamp gave Collins a base on balls. He stole both second and third and scored on a fly into center field. Anaheim scored its first run in the fourth. Fisher flew out to center field, but Lind walked both Henricks and Buzzard. Miller's opportunity two-bagger at this point scored Henricks and advanced Buzzard to third, but Huntington struck out and Schultz was thrown out at first leaving Miller and Buzzard on second and third. In the sixth there was something doing for a time and the fans woke up and took an interest in the game. Mensenkamp walked the first man. He stole second and third and crossed the plate on a hit by Riley who stole second and scored on a hit. Fisher reached second in this inning on a fumble and a wild throw to At EDMINSTON CASH GROCERY is going fine Why don’t you get in. Our prices are right on all goods. 110 N.

Thus far Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Washington, Idaho, Utah, South Dakota, the Philippine Islands and Missouri have received deeds to their land and promise the widest participation at the 1915 universal exposition. Alaska will have a unique exhibit It will consist of a copper ball weighing 2500 pounds made of metal secured from the Copper River valley, Alaska. John Brisben Walker, former owner and editor of the Cosmopolitan Magazine, and one of the best-known literary men in this country, has been selected to be director of exploitation of the exposition. He has entered upon his work with enthusiasm and with a determination to help make the exposition one of the greatest ever held in the annals of the world. The Festival Associations of the Pacific Coast is the title of the new organization that has for its object the exploitation of the west and the attraction of visitors to the Pacific coast states to attend the various festivals and celebrations that are held in the leading cities. It is planned by every festival organization affiliated with the festival associations to advertise every other festival that is to be held on this slope. Immediately after the voters /of San Francisco approved the Civic Center bond issue by a vote of eleven to one, Mayor James Rolph, Jr., called upon the executive committee and requested that the $1,000,000 as pledged for the erection of an auditorium in the civic center be turned over to the city. This auditorium is to be constructed on land furnished by the city and will be one of the finest in the world. CHRISTIAN CHURCH CALLS NEW MINISTER Evangelist C. R. Moore who has been conducting a series of meetings in the Christian Church has so built up the work and pleased the people with his Scriptural discourses that he has been prevailed upon to remain with the work for a time and continue the great work started. Rev. Moore’s work and ability, as a Scriptural preacher, are known throughout Southern California among the Christian churches. He has a command of the scriptures which very few possess in being able to locate every quotation chapter and verse which he quotes and with the greatest accuracy. He thoroughly believes the Bible and preaches it from the heart with power. In private conversation with Mr. Moore I learned of the thorough preparation he has made for his work. Having spent eight years in the university in the study of the Bible, and is able to tell what he knows being a graduate of the School of Oratory. Besides the Bachelor of Oratory degree he also holds the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Divinity degrees. All who have heard Mr. Moore are elated over the fact of his consenting to remain with the church in Anaheim. He will move his family here next week and will be located at 111 Bush street. The public join in welcoming this man into our midst, but Huntington struck out and Schultz was thrown out at first leaving Miller and Buzzard on second and third. In the sixth there was something doing for a time and the fans woke up and took an interest in the game. Mensenkamp walked the first man. He stole second and third and crossed the plate on a hit by Riley who stole second and scored on a hit. Fisher reached second in this inning on a fumble and a wild throw to first. He scored on Buzzard’s two-bagger, and Miller followed with another one over the left fielder’s head bringing Buzzard across the plate. Three runs were added to the visitors’ score in the ninth. Pratt drove the ball over third base line and Schultz mistook it for a foul, allowing Pratt to gallop around the diamond before fielding it in. The next two scored on a hit, a stolen base, a passed ball by Henricks and a two-base hit, but the side was retired by two beautiful throws to home plate by Huntington and Schultz. Lind struck out six men and allowed two passes. Mensenkamp retired two and gave three bases on balls. When you want the best in fresh meats call on W. M. Cooper.
