MUCH SPEAKING AT THE TENT SUNDAY YOUNG PEOPLES' SOCIETIES AND LONG BEACH BUSINESS MEN FURNISH ORATORS ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE REV. BROWN WILL BE IN THE FIELD AGAIN SATURDAY Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock will be the first appearance of Evangelist Brown in the second chapter of his campaign against the saloons of Anaheim. This was the announcement made by Rev. F. W. Mitchell, chairman of the meeting when a large delegation of Long Beach citizens, headed by three or four Long Beach speakers of local reputation, came over and took possession of the tent at the corner of Lemon and Broadway, Sunday night. Mr. Brown is expected to remain in Anaheim during the balance of the campaign, and some lurid pictures of the evils of intemperance will probably be presented at the tent, as he is a forceful talker. Mr. Garth, the singer, who occupies Mr. Curry's place while he is absent owing to illness in his family, was present Sunday and had charge of the musical part of the program. and they all agreed that unless the saloons were voted out of Anaheim the boys of the city were almost certain to follow in the footsteps of their fathers and go to destruction. They wanted temptation removed so that the young men of Anaheim could develop into honorable, upright and worthy citizens. Dating from Saturday Evangelist Brown will have charge of the forces opposed to the present conditions in Anaheim. It is expected that numerous spell binders from other sections of the county as well as from far-away Whittier and Long Beach, will hold up his hands and assist in the work. All the guns at their command will be brought into action to drive out the forces of evil and make Anaheim as pure as its neighbors. Wednesday night, the evening preceding the election, a grand rally will be held, six meetings in various places of the city being engaged. An immense procession with automobiles, torch lights and banners will parade the streets with all Orange county in line. If Anaheim does not sit up and take notice of this demonstration the good people who are endeavoring to save it will give up and permit it to suffer the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Mr. Brown is expected to remain in Anaheim during the balance of the campaign, and some lurid pictures of the evils of intemperance will probably be presented at the tent, as he is a forceful talker. Mr. Garth, the singer, who occupies Mr. Curry's place while he is absent owing to illness in his family, was present Sunday and had charge of the musical part of the program. Editor Young, of the Anaheim Herald, announced that on Wednesday evening, November 5, six Richmonds would be in the field fighting in the cause of righteousness and reform. It was understood, he said, that the wets contemplated a great rally at the tent opposite the postoffice when Judge Bowman would speak, and he had been informed that considerable red fire would burn. The drys were expecting to have six speakers in various sections of the town that night and were not going to burn red fire alone but expected to turn loose a little blue blazes. They have also made preparations for an automobile procession which will be at least a mile long. When the demonstration is over, he continued, Mr. Bowman will go home and stay so close that he will be a hard man to find. "This is war," declared Mr. Young. "I want you for the next ten days not to get sick, not to leave home and to have no social functions." C. J. Walker, president of the Farmers' and Merchants' National Bank, was the first of the Long Beach delegation introduced. He told how Long Beach had prospered during the 18 years of his residence there and said that its population was greater than the combined population of all the neighboring towns along the coast. He gave a few figures to prove the growth of Long Beach and attributed its rapid development to the fact that the town had always been dry. E. W. Townsend, a leading real estate man of Long Beach, was next introduced and related how that city and Pasadena had both outstripped all their rivals because they eliminated the saloons in the early days of their being. Orange Grove avenue, he said, used to be called Millionaire row. There are now three millionaire rows in Pasadena and the growth is undoubtedly due to the fact that the city is dry and always has been. C. A. Buckel, one of the prominent business men and capitalists of the town, was also introduced and related a similar tale of Long Beach's prosperity and rapid growth and arguing that take notice of this demonstration the good people who are endeavoring to save it will give up and permit it to suffer the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. MEXICAN REBELS DEMAND $20,000 Cut Water "Main Supplying Mazatlan, Threaten to Blow Up Plant" Mrs. Gertrude Ward, of Los Angeles, was in town on Sunday automobiling with a party of friends. Mrs. Ward was formerly a resident of Mazatlan, Mexico, where her husband now resides as manager of a company supplying that city with water. This water is piped from a river 25 miles distant, and the enterprise represents a large investment of capital. Recently a band of rebels cut the large mains supplying the city, and left the people without water. They demanded of Mr. Ward that he pay them $20,000 for permission to turn the water on again. He politely declined the proposition, and the rebel band notified the company they would blow up the plant unless the money was immediately forthcoming. Conditions in the western part of Mexico are most intolerable and Mr. Ward is of opinion that the matter of American intervention cannot much longer be delayed. He and other members of the company are guarding its property, but the rebel bands now devastating the State of Sinaloa are desperate men and it is impossible to imagine to what lengths they would go in order to secure money from this and other corporations doing business there. FARMER COLE WEARS BROAD SMILE Happy Over Exclusion of His Property From Stanton Municipality—Wants Paved Roads W. J. Cole, of Hardscrabble, was in town the first of the week shaking hands with his many friends hereaway. Mr. Cole wears a broadening smile since being excluded from the municipality of Stanton, into which he was forced against his will two years ago, and against which he was the first to put up a fight in the courts. His suit against that city, contesting the legality of its incorporation, is now before the appellate court, and a decision is looked for before long. Mr. Cole isand was considered unmacher said that a superdistrict accidents occured or neglect of any of tha taining to his office wally responsible for an mentioned that one of Los Angeles county damage suit now pending and he (Schumacher)to take such chances.sequently, would bewould probably be eight year before the new opened to traffic.

Orange Grove avenue, he said, used to be called Millionaire row. There are now three millionaire rows in Pasadena and the growth is undoubtedly due to the fact that the city is dry and always has been. C. A. Buckel, one of the prominent business men and capitalists of the town, was also introduced and related a similar tale of Long Beach's prosperity and rapid growth and arguing that it was due to the fact that the city had no saloons, while the development of neighboring towns along the coast was retarded because they were wet. At 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon the young people from various sections of the county took possession of the tent and held a session, the Orange County Christian Endeavorers, the Epworth Leagues, the Baptist Unionists, the county Y.M.C.A.'s and a few other societies being concerned in the meeting. Several hundred young folks from Santa Ana, Fullerton, Orange and other neighboring points were present. The Epworth League choir of Santa Ana, with Mr. Garth in charge, furnished the musical part of the program. There were a number of speakers from the ranks of these several societies introduced, and they were so numerous that it was necessary to limit them to 10-minute talks. "Why Anaheim should vote dry" was the subject on which all of them dwelt, and there was a remarkable unanimity in the speeches. The saving of the rising generation of Anaheim, especially the boys, was the foundation upon which each speaker constructed his sermon, W. J. Cole, of Hardscrabble, was in town the first of the week shaking hands with his many friends hereaway. Mr. Cole wears a broadening smile since being excluded from the municipality of Stanton, into which he was forced against his will two years ago, and against which he was the first to put up a fight in the courts. His suit against that city, contesting the legality of its incorporation, is now before the appellate court, and a decision is looked for before long. Mr. Cole is among the people recently excluded from Stanton, and while he expresses himself as being particularly happy thereat, he has not quit fighting. An offer to relieve the excluded property owners from their pro rata of this year's taxation if they will agree to withdraw the suit, has met with positive refusal on his part. He has enlisted for the war, and will fight it out if it takes all winter. He also wants to see the westside road paved through the segregated strip of two and one-quarter miles recently cut out from Stanton, and if the highway commission desires to escape trouble it will comply with his request, and proceed to the improvement forthwith. The district attorney's office has brought an action against 11 property owners along the state highway between Fullerton and the county line in La Habra Valley to secure rights of way for the highway. The road must be 60 feet wide, and at present part of it is only 40 and 50 feet. Another suit against 13 property owners between Santa Ana and Anaheim will be started next week. A. A. Mills suggested committee take up forming a protection thought would be the settling the question on the bridge to traffic near him and great income ple living beyond the people who now trade be compelled to go or give it up and traded Olive Milling Company greatest sufferer as daily trips to Anaheim loaded wagons. It is them to cross through of the river bed, conserve be compelled to go and Yorba. The bridge closed a year. Closing of the bridge one of the most heavy ways will undoubtedly stimulating the superb action in beginning a concrete bridge. It will old bridge would resemble the new one was coined action will make that no thoroughfare during months when the river Persons living in Su OLD BRIDGE AT OLIVE WILL BE CLOSED STRUCTURE CONDEMNED BY SUPERVISORS AS UNSAFE, WILL NOT BE OPEN TO TRAVEL NECESSITY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF CONCRETE BRIDGE BECOMES MORE APPARENT Another move has been made in the Olive bridge controversy and one that is likely to prove.exceedingly annoying to the people of that vicinity. Supervisor Schumacher announced at the Board of Trade meeting Monday night that he would take action toward closing the present bridge to traffic as it had been condemned after examination and was considered unsafe. Mr. Schumacher said that a supervisor in whose district accidents occurred by reason or neglect of any of the duties appertaining to his office was held personally responsible for any damage. He mentioned that one of the supervisors of Los Angeles county had a $50,000 damage suit now pending against him, and he (Schumacher) could not afford to take such chances. The bridge, consequently, would be closed and it would probably be eight months or a year before the new one could be district on the other side who do their trading in Anaheim will no doubt get busy and speedy action in beginning work on the new structure is anticipated. The only thing delaying the matter now is the easements from property owners on the river. Mr. Ahlborn made a report on the recent visit of John Lind of the American Chamber of Commerce, who was here two weeks ago soliciting membership in that body. Mr. Lind’s scheme is to enlist as many boards of trade and chambers of commerce as possible in the national organization for the purpose of mutual assistance and concerted action in getting needed legislation and making advancement in trade, commerce and manufactures. The board appropriated $10 for a membership fee and joined the association. The Associated Chambers of Commerce met at Orange last night. A number of the Anaheim board were present and the matter of the bridge was discussed. HIGH SCHOOL CHOOSES TWO CHAMPIONS Edmund Bradley and Arthur Turck Will Debate With Pasadena Monday afternoon and evening contests were held to select a team of students of the Anaheim Union high school to debate against the Pasadena high school. Eighteen young men took part in the contest and all showed a knowledge of their subject and a skill in presenting it that is very gratifying. REGISTRATION LIST IN COURT TOMORROW ATTORNEYS DUTTON AND HEAD PRESENT AFFIDAVITS FROM VOTERS CITED BY DRYS NINETY PER CENT OF LIST WILL BE FOUND TO BE LEGALLY REGISTERED IS CLAIMED Tuesday, in the superior court, Roger C. Dutton, attorney for the Taxpayers’ League, and H. C. Head, of Santa Ana, filed a demurrer in the first suit brought against a number of Anaheim voters citing them to appear in court and show cause why their names should not be stricken from the registration rolls, and compelling them to prove their citizenship and their right to the ballot. In this action, in which Edward M. Schlotter is plaintiff, 53 defendants are named. Tuesday morning a demurrer was filed for 41 defendants by the attorneys. The usual grounds of demurrer were alleged, with the more specific allegation that the complaint in declaring that some of the defendants are unable to read the constitution is ambiguous in that it does not state what constitution is meant. This demurrer will come up for rul- and was considered unsafe. Mr. Schumacher said that a supervisor in whose district accidents occurred by reason or neglect of any of the duties appertaining to his office was held personally responsible for any damage. He mentioned that one of the supervisors of Los Angeles county had a $50,000 damage suit now pending against him, and he (Schumacher) could not afford to take such chances. The bridge, consequently, would be closed and it would probably be eight months or a year before the new one could be opened to traffic. The Board of Supervisors would take no action toward the establishment of a river channel, he said, until easements for the land are given by the property owners along its banks. There is some uncertainty as to whom the easements are to given to as the supervisors refuse to accept them in the name of the county, the city of Anaheim cannot accept them, and the Board of Trade has no authority to take them. It was the suggestion of the county board that the property owners along the river grant easements among themselves but how this can be done is not clear unless they form a corporation. It is perfectly clear, however, that nothing will be done toward the establishment of an official channel until the easements are given and the supervisors relieved from possible entanglements. J. F. Ahlborn reported that the committee soliciting funds for protection to the bridge approaches was meeting with excellent success. Between $400 and $500 had already been secured and he thought the solicitors would have no difficulty in making it a thousand. The railroad companies had signified their willingness to aid in the work by the contribution of piling, and the people of Buena Park, Garden Grove, La Habra and other points had promised aid. His suggestion that a bridge day be designated and that all the people from this and the other points who can get away, clothe themselves in overalls and blouses and put in a day on the bank of the river building wing dams and breakwaters, was endorsed. The day was not fixed but it will probably be early in November. Mr. Ahlborn thinks at least 200 men and numerous teams will be on the ground and a prodigious amount of work will be accomplished. It will reduce the money cost of building the protection banks. The ladies of Anaheim will provide an ample and suitable lunch on the grounds while the work is in progress and hot coffee will be the only drink. A. A. Mills suggested that the bridge committee take up the question of TWO CHAMPIONS Edmund Bradley and Arthur Turck Will Debate With Pasadena Monday afternoon and evening contests were held to select a team of students of the Anaheim Union high school to debate against the Pasadena high school. Eighteen young men took part in the contest and all showed a knowledge of their subject and a skill in presenting it that is very gratifying. During the afternoon contest nine were selected to compete in the evening. At the evening contest several hundred students and other friends of the speakers were present. Great enthusiasm was shown, school songs were sung and school yells given. The two chosen to represent their school in the debate against Pasadena are Edmund Bradley and Arthur Turck. These young men are members of the senior class. They promise to put up a good fight for the championship of the league. The subject for debate is "Resolved that the labor unions in demanding a closed shop are working for the best interests of the American people." Anaheim will support the affirmative of the question. ENJOYABLE BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION FRIDAY Mrs. Harris, Mother of Mrs. Falkenstein, Reaches Her 75th Year It was an extremely enjoyable family party that gathered at the home of William Falkenstein last Friday to celebrate the 75th birthday anniversary of Mrs. J. Harris, mother of Mrs. Falkenstein. In addition to the family of Mr. Falkenstein those present were Mrs. I. Asher, of Los Angeles, Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Harris, of Redlands, Mrs. R. Ancker and Mrs. M. D. Katz, of San Bernardino, Miss Rosenthal, of Berlin, Germany, Herman and Arthur Harris, of San Bernardino, Leo Harris, of Lancaster, Mrs. Herschfeld, of Los Angeles, and Charles Schmidt, of Alhambra. Mrs. Harris makes her home with her daughter, Mrs. Falkenstein, and these sons, daughters and grand children gathered to honor her in her old age and to rejoice that she is still among them. A dinner worthy of the occasion was served by Mrs. Falkenstein. PETE NICOLAS IS 80 YEARS OF AGE In this action, in which Edward M. Schlotter is plaintiff, 53 defendants are named. Tuesday morning a demurrer was filed for 41 defendants by the attorneys. The usual grounds of demurrer were alleged, with the more specific allegation that the complaint in declaring that some of the defendants are unable to read the constitution is ambiguous in that it does not state what constitution is meant. This demurrer will come up for ruling tomorrow. The judge must give the defendants time to answer, and the case must be set for trial and heard, all before November 6, which is Thursday of next week, if the result is going to have any bearing on the Anaheim election. The first action may be completed, but it looks as though the second and third actions, in which 103 registration are attacked, stand a chance of not getting to trial before the day of voting. District Attorney West, appearing for County Clerk Williams, filed answers in the three cases. The answers merely state that the names as alleged do appear upon the great register. The actions are civil actions, and the district attorney and county clerk will take no part in the trial. The great register will be made to conform to the ruling of the superior court. The defendants in the action are: Frank Mauerhan, H. A. Donahue, J. R. Murray, A. D. McClellan, Stanley Simpson, Frank Champion, Charles Otto Rust, Kate S. Rust, Otto Percival Rust, George E. Hatfield, George M. Ross, Marian J. Ross, Carrie M. Schroff, Nellie S. Schroff, Conrad Schroff, Ernest Huenemeyer, Maria Huenemeyer, Delia Smith, Manuel Crespin, Jr., Lino Romero, John Knutzen, Santiago Espinoza, August Krause, Elizabeth Neipp, Maria Klinger, Eli C. Sheldon, John Hassen, Elizabeth Ingram, J. J. Blackmore, Anne A. Bonkosky, W. F. Bonkosky, Rita Miranda, George H. Westerman, George Kuennen, Earl C. Dutton, Jim B. Martinez, Arthur Needham, Barnard Castillo, Edward B. Smyth, Alex A. Ware, Chris Kemper, Rosa La Griggs, James B. Atloff, Stella Mang, William A. Winter, Will Rannow, Charles H. Schaefer, Emma Moinecke and H. E. Kindgren. This list of 53 persons is the first of the three blocks of registered residents of Anaheim cited to appear in the superior court and prove their citizenship and their right to vote on November 6 or lose the franchise. Editor Young of the Anaheim Herald is the mainspring in the movement but he is alded and abetted by others of the dry PETE NICOLAS IS 32 YEARS OF AGE His Friends Celebrate the Occasion by Giving Him a Banquet Tuesday, October 21st was the 32d anniversary of the birth of Pete Nicolas, one of the chiefs of the Orange County Wine Company. Pete had forgotten all about the important circumstance but his friends had been keeping tab on the calendar, and in the evening he was escorted to the residence of Joseph Backs where a sumptuous banquet was spread and a number of congenial friends were waiting to congratulate him and give him an enjoyable and sociable time. Those present besides the family of Mr. Backs were Mr. and Mrs. E. Bayha, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Noll, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Osburn, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Foster, Charles Osburn and J. J. Ortega. It was one of the jolliest nights ever experienced by Mr. Nicolas and in addition to the sociability of the occasion and the splendid supper he was the recipient of a beautiful and costly present. James B. Atloff, Stella Mang, William A. Winter, Will Rannow, Charles H. Schaefer, Emma Moinecke and H. E. Kindgren. This list of 53 persons is the first of the three blocks of registered residents of Anaheim cited to appear in the superior court and prove their citizenship and their right to vote on November 6 or lose the franchise. Editor Young of the Anaheim Herald is the mainspring in the movement but he is aided and abetted by others of the dry forces. The two petitions acted upon later contain 103 names and these persons will be arraigned also and either prove their citizenship or lose their votes. Just why these people should be summoned to appear before the superior court to prove their citizenship is not understood by themselves or the attorneys who represent them. The election boards are the proper tribunals to determine the legality of a vote offered at the polls, and should a man vote illegally or swear falsely before the board the long arm of justice will reach forward and hail him before the superior judge and ample punishment will be meted out to him. But the idea of dragging a registration list into court to be purged before election is a new one. Perhaps Editor Young and his coherts believed the four election boards of Anaheim would not conform to the oaths administered to them and would not be very diligent in weeding out the false from the true. Many of the names on the list are of persons who have moved out of town. Among the 53 summoned in the first citation appeared the name of Charles OTTO RUST, ex-mayor of Anaheim. Mr. Rust has recently acquired a tract of land in Arizona and declared a residence there, forfeiting his citizenship in this city. His name still appeared on the great register but he had no intention of attempting to cast a fraudulent vote. Several other cases are similar to his. None of the defendants will appear personally in court Friday. They will be represented by Messrs. Dutton and Head. Mr. Dutton, with a corps of aids, has been busy this week gathering affidavits from those cited who have not moved away and will present them to the court Friday. The date for hearing on the other two lists summoned has not been fixed, but owing to the short time between this and election day it is doubtful if the ponderous machinery of the superior court can get action enough upon itself to decide the cases before the 6th of November even if it cared to do so. “There has been no order of the court,” said Attorney Dutton yesterday, “requiring these people to appear personally and establish their citizenship, consequently we have been busy collecting affidavits declaring their rights and will present them to the court. From what we have gathered I am satisfied that 90 per cent of the persons on the list are qualified voters and the only ones cited who cannot prove their citizenship are those who have moved away. We can establish the right to the ballot of every voter registered by the clerks of the Taxpayers’ League. The charge of false registration and colonization is simply a bluff. It is extremely doubtful, how- WHISKY EASY AT LONG BEACH BLIND PIG SEA-SHORE REAL ESTATE MAN KNEW ROPES INTO QUALID SPEAK-EASY PURCHASED BOTTLE OF LIQUOR, DRANK MOST OF IT HIMSELF, BECAME “PICKLED” C. J. Walker, of the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank of Long Beach, was one of the principal speakers at the meeting at the temperance tent on Sunday evening. Mr. Walker is said to be one of the leading financial lights at the coast city, and headed a delegation of the business men and women of that place and drove over to tell us of the evil of our ways in connection with the liquor traffic. During his remarks he said: “You never hear of anybody at Long Beach asking to purchase property in Anaheim. Long Beach is a city of a high standard of morals, and no one in our town has any desire to come to a place where saloons are permitted to exist in search of a home for his family, or a locality in which to invest his money.” When Mr. Walker made this statement ITS ONLY JEALOUSY SAYS A BUSINESS MAN Pertinent Remarks by a Man Who Knows the Facts Anaheim, Oct. 27, 1913. Editor Gazette: Your editorial last week, in which you brought out the business questions involved in the coming election, met with the very hearty approval of your readers. For, in spite of what the speakers say about it at the "dry" tent, the business question is the one, which is the side uppermost in the minds of the majority of the people of Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana and all the other surrounding places, which are taking such an interest in this contest. Has any sane person any idea that these outside places are interested in the moral or spiritual welfare of Anaheim? Not in a million years. We could roast in Hades before any of them would lift a finger to help us; but it is the business which they see being done in our thriving city, which causes them to turn green with envy. of the evil of our ways in connection with the liquor traffic. During his remarks he said: "You never hear of anybody at Long Beach asking to purchase property in Anaheim. Long Beach is a city of a high standard of morals, and no one in our town has any desire to come to a place where saloons are permitted to exist in search of a home for his family, or a locality in which to invest his money." When Mr. Walker made this statement, intimating that no person at Long Beach would think of coming to Anaheim to buy property or invest his money, he overlooked the fact that a friend and associate and depositor in his bank, had come from Long Beach to Anaheim not so many months ago and purchased ten acres of orange land on the east side, paying therefor $16,000 in cash. The sale of the property was made to him by a gentleman now in business in this city who was present at the tent meeting on Sunday evening and who, on hearing Walker's statement, was upon the point of rising to his feet and bawling him out. The purchaser still owns this property, has made considerable improvement upon it, and now holds it at a very substantial advance over the purchase price. Other Long Beach people have come to Anaheim recently and purchased property here. Their names and their purchases may be available at a moments' notice. The deal for the purchase of Anaheim property was consummated at Walker's bank in Long Beach. The money was turned over to the Anaheim man at the institution. After the money had been paid Walker asked the Anaheim man whether he would not like to look over Long Beach property with a view to purchasing and locating there. The latter replying that he would not be averse to doing so, Walker called in a real estate dealer and the Anaheim man was invited over into the latter's office. They were no sooner ensconced in the real estate office than the Long Beach man said: "Will you have a little drink?" There were four gentlemen in the party. The local residenter replied that he was not averse to taking a drink at that time of the day, but remarked that inasmuch as he was in dry territory he did not understand how the procuring of a drink could be possible. "Come with me," said the Long Beach real estate dealer, "and I will show you how we do it at Long Beach." The party emerged through the rear door of the real estate office into an alley proceeded to a dingy little blind ship, consequently we have been busy collecting affidavits declaring their rights and will present them to the court. From what we have gathered I am satisfied that 90 per cent of the persons on the list are qualified voters and the only ones cited who cannot prove their citizenship are those who have moved away. We can establish the right to the ballot of every voter registered by the clerks of the Taxpayers' League. The charge of false registration and colonization is simply a bluff. It is extremely doubtful, however, if the superior court can get in action in time to handle this matter before the election. If not the challenges will probably be presented before the election boards which is the proper place and if any man votes illegally the court will see that he pays the penalty." Mr. Dutton and Mr. Head will present the affidavits to the superior judge tomorrow of all those cited who claim the right to vote. What action the court will take is a question, but it is possible that he may turn the matter down and leave it to the election boards to pass upon the legality of the voters. Whether the prohibition forces carried this matter to the court because they were distrustful of the election boards of Anaheim or whether they expected to frighten some of the voters is not quite clear. persons is the first of registered residents to appear in the surrogate their citizenship to vote on November 1st franchise. Editor Anaheim Herald is the movement but he is by others of the dry institutions acted upon times and these permeated also and either ship or lose their people should be prior before the superiors their citizenship is themselves or the present them. The proper tribune legality of a vote and should a man wear falsely before arm of justice will hail him before the sample punishment to him. But the idea distraction list into before election is a Editor Young and the four election would not conform mastered to them and diligent in weeding the true. Lies on the list are of moved out of town, damned in the first name of Charles permost in the minds of the majority of the people of Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana and all the other surrounding places, which are taking such an interest in this contest. Has any sane person any idea that these outside places are interested in the moral or spiritual welfare of Anaheim? Not in a million years. We could roast in Hades before any of them would lift a finger to help us; but it is the business which they see being done in our thriving city, which causes them to turn green with envy. One Saturday night this month there were 92 rigs, mostly automobiles, packed around Center street, while at the same time in Fullerton, were counted eight rigs, some of which, too, were probably waiting to get tinkered up so that they could come over here. Now the people in those automobiles did not come over to hear the oratory at the tent, as they had no meeting that night, nor were there services at any of the churches, so they were all here on shopping or pleasure trips, and if there was some liquor sold, did not the whole town get the benefit from the money spent in all the other lines of business which were patronized. There is no doubt about it, that these invasions of orators or blather-skites from our neighboring cities, are like the sword of Damocles, which cuts both ways. We citizens of Anaheim realize that it is purely jealousy which is the "bug under the chip." Let them leave us alone to run our business to suit ourselves, which we are quite as well capable of taking care of, as of our spiritual and moral life. BUSINESS MAN. The local residenter replied that he was not averse to taking a drink at that time of the day, but remarked that inasmuch as he was in dry territory he did not understand how the procuring of a drink could be possible. "Come with me," said the Long Beach real estate dealer, "and I will show you how we do it at Long Beach." The party emerged through the rear door of the real estate office into an alley, proceeded to a dingy little blind pig establishment, 6x9 in dimensions, with a table in the center of the apartment and four chairs placed at the table. The Long Beach man pounded upon the table, when a bottle of whiskey was poked through a blind aperture in the wall. The party took seats, the Long Beach man pulled the cork, and glasses being supplied to the aperture whence the bottle of whiskey had come, they proceeded to their morning's morning. The Long Beach men went after the fiery fluid with avidity, consuming most of the vile stuff. After the lapse of half an hour the Long Beach real estate dealer was so thoroughly pickled and soporific that he was unable to show the Anaheim man about the town, and the latter drove in his automobile back to this city. That Long Beach is filled with this sort of illicit liquor establishments is common rumors. This city believes in making liquor dealers pay their just burdens of municipal taxation. Which is the proper method to pursue? To take $10,000 annually from these men
