Republicans of Anaheim are making an effort to extend a welcome to J. C. Needham, the Eleventh district's itopublican candidate for congress that will prove a record breaker and be remembered in the future. Tonight is the date of the rally, and the Anaheim opera house is the place of meeting. This is the opening of Mr. Needham's campaign and Anaheim was selected for the initial rally because sixteen years ago today he opened his first campaign in this city following his nomination at Newport Beach. He spoke then from a stand on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, on the lot where Falkenstein's store now stands. He was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience, and the memory of that meeting is so green and pleasant that he expressed a desire to launch the present campaign in the same place. The Mitchell building now covers the lot on which he spoke, but the opera ber 21. The Captain is making a trip from San Diego to Los Angeles on that date, and will deliver four speeches in this county. He will strike the county at San Juan Capistrano at 12:30, will reach Santa Anna at 3, Anaheim at 4:30 and a night meeting will be held at Fullerton. C. C./Chapman who was strongly endorsed for the republican nomination for governor but declined to run and endorsed Fredericks, will be chairman of that meeting. It is proposed to give the next governor an ovation in his progress through the county, and prove in unmistakable language that sentiment in Orange county overwhelmingly favors the restoration of republicanism in California. Chairman Duckworth and other prominent republicans from different sections will meet the Fredericks party at San Juan and escort it through the county. The trip will be a triumphal one throughout as Fredericks was the almost unanimous choice of the republican voters of this county, and the people are awakening to the fact that they should rally to the support of the only party with a steadfast purpose—the party which demands protection for our own and brings prosperity to the nation. Part of the precinct workers who will look after registrations and transfers and make it a point to see that indifferent or careless voters get to the polls on election day were appointed by Mr. Duckworth Friday night. They are: Precinct 1, J. W. Sackett and Elmo Calkins; Precinct 5, J. N. Enearl and J. B. Root; precinct 6, Simon Lybarger and Dr. W. S. McFarlane; preincite 7, J. S. and J. W. Howard; preincite 8, J.

The Garden Groen association was somcause Anaheim fallgation to the recorner Associated Chambers his first campaign in this city following his nomination at Newport Beach. He spoke then from a stand on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, on the lot where Falkenstein's store now stands. He was greeted by a large and enthusiastic audience, and the memory of that meeting is so green and pleasant that he expressed a desire to launch the present campaign in the same place. The Mitchell building now covers the lot on which he spoke, but the opera house is available and the meeting will be held there. J. C. Burke, candidate for the assembly from Orange county, will also make a speech, and possibly others will make short addresses, but it is not deemed advisable to curtail or limit Mr. Needham's time. County Chairman Duckworth has appointed vice presidents from various points of the county who will spread the news of the rally, and it is expected that people will be here from all sections of Orange county. The Fullerton Military band has been engaged to furnish the music for the occasion and Judge Howard has been appointed chief of the firing squad. He will probably appoint assistants who will get all the noise possible out of a battery of unvils. This is Mr. Needham's first speech in his campaign and he should be greeted with a large and enthusiastic crowd. He is an apostle of protection to Orange county's interests, and there are few people in the county who have not suffered directly or indirectly during the past year from the inauguration into law of the free trade policy which his opponent advocates. He should be greeted by every man who believes California's industries should be protected and fostered. Preparations are also making for the reception of Capt. John D. Fredericks, who will speak here at 4:30 o'clock on Monday afternoon, September- Part of the precinct workers who will look after registrations and transfers and make it a point to see that indifferent or careless voters get to the polls on election day were appointed by Mr. Duckworth Friday night. They are: Precinct 1, J. W. Sackett and Elmo Calkins; Precinct 5, J. N. Enearl and J. B. Root; precinct 6, Simon Lybarger and Dr. W. S. McFarlane; precinct 7, J. S. and J. W. Howard; precinct 8, J. E. Baker; East Anaheim, Robert McKee; West Anaheim, F. H. Wessler. Precincts 2, 3 and 4 were not supplied at that meeting and there was also a vacancy of one in precinct 8 and East and West Anaheim. These vacancies have probably been filled by this time. The object of these precinct committees is to see to it that no voter falls to register or neglects to properly transfer if he moves into another precinct. Also to see that he casts his vote on election day unless prevented by reasons over which he has no control. At the primary elections the party suffered loss of some candidates because of apathy on the part of voters and it taught a lesson which will bear fruit. The republican registration in the county is almost equal to the combined strength of all other parties, and Chairman Duckworth is determined that at the election on November 3, this ratio shall be maintained. The upper story of the Spoerl-Murchenthaler building is being built for hotel purposes. It has been leased by Mrs. Frank Montenyohl, formerly of the Iowa house, and will be known as the Hotel Southland. The hotel portion of the block will contain more than thirty rooms and as it is built especially for hotel purposes will be supplied with all modern conveniences.

The Foley & Burk Carnival company of San Francisco, which has been engaged to furnish part of the entertainment, is considered one of the best aggregations of the kind on the road. It carries 125 people and more than twenty shows of various character, including beasts and curiosities from remote jungles. Testimonials show that everything the company exhibits is first-class, and nothing is offensive or objectionable. This company will be here five days, from Tuesday October 27 to Saturday night of the same week. mendations made by McPhee relative to berry boxes, etc. The Ebell society has expressed a desire to meet occasionally with the board and make suggestions along lines of civic improvements. The suggestion was welcomed by the members and an invitation extended to the society to meet regularly with the board or at such times as they felt inclined or had something of importance to suggest. Chairman Ahleborn of the advertising committee reported that he had added Prof. E. W. Hauck and C. R. Prince to the membership.

At least three new substantial business buildings are now being planned which are certainties and others are mentioned which may be confidently predicted in a short time. F. A.

This building will be OFFICERS CHOSEN FOR NEEDHAM MEETING RICHARD MELROSE, WHO PRESIDED AT OPENING OF CAMPAIGN 16 YEARS AGO, WILL OCUPY CHAIR COUNTY CHAIRMAN DUCKWORTH ANNOUNCES AID-DE-CAMPS FOR COMING STRUGGLE Richard Melrose has been chosen to act as chairman of the meeting at the Anaheim opera house tonight at which the campaign of Hon. J. C. Needham, Republican candidate for congressman from the Eleventh district, will be launched. In addition to being an admirable presiding officer, my Melrose was chairman of the meeting 16 years ago today in this city at which Mr. Needham's first campaign for congress was opened. Needham made a brilliant campaign following this meeting, and won a glorious victory. As he has again chosen Anaheim for his initial address, and fixed the 16th anniversary of the former speech as the date, it is fitting that the man who acted as chairman on the previous occasion should preside. of San Francisco, which has been engaged to furnish part of the entertainment, is considered one of the best aggregations of the kind on the road. It carries 125 people and more than twenty shows of various character, including beasts and curiosities from remote jungles. Testimonials show that everything the company exhibits is first-class, and nothing is offensive or objectionable. This company will be here five days, from Tuesday October 27 to Saturday night of the same week. By arrangement with the committee one half the receipts of the company and all its concessions go into the coffers of the Board of Trade and this fund will be used for advertising Anaheim. The committee announces that $3000 will be necessary to finance the celebration, and this sum will be raised by subscription. It is considered a good investment as thousands of strangers will be attracted to Anaheim during the week and an ample sum will accrue to the treasury to enable the Board of Trade to get Anaheim on the map. Hundreds of thousands of visitors from eastern states will shortly visit California because of the two expositions and Anaheim literature can be sown to some purpose among them. The committee will begin next week on its fund raising campaign. The carnival will open Tuesday with the coronation of the queen. This queen will be selected by popular vote previous to that date and will be crowned with appropriate ceremonies. She will then lead a procession in flicch floats and gaily decorated autos will be in line, with plenty of music to enliven the scene. On Tuesday evening the queen's ball will be given on Claudina street. One block of the paved street will be roped off and the revelers will tango and turkey trop on the asphalt pavement. This will probably be a masquerade. It is expected there will be a spirited contest over the election of the queen. Four days of high jinks will follow the opening night; the carnival winding up at 12 o'clock Saturday night. The Foley & Burk entertainments are only a portion of the show as many other stunts including a street fair and a barbecue will be provided by the committee. The Garden Grove Improvement association was somewhat peeved because Anaheim failed to send a delegation to the recent banquet of the Associated Chambers at that point. Angeles and Lemon do not intend to let that busy section of the city drop into the has been class. At least three new substantial business buildings are now being planned which are certainties and others are mentioned which may be confidently predicted in a short time. F. A. Yungbluth has completed plans for the construction of a hand-some new building on the corner adjoining the post office which he recently purchased. This building will be 27 1/2x90 feet, and will be two stories high. The ground floor will be divided into two store rooms, both of which are already rented. Joe Lauterback will occupy the corner room with a shoe store, but the lossee of the other room desires his name and business suppressed for the present. The upper story will be built expressly for a rooming house. It is already rented and will be opened as soon as the building is completed. All modern conveniences will be provided and the place is to be first-class in every particular. The building will set back from the sidewalk eight feet to conform to the new frontage, agreed upon by property owners in that block. MR. HOLDAWAY RETURNS FROM EAST Places Order for $90,000 Worth of Machinery for Tire Factory H. H. Holdaway, president of the Universal Tire Company, was in town on Monday from Los Angeles, having just returned from a month's visit to Trenton, N.J., and other points east, at Trenton Mr. Haldaway purchased $90,000 worth of machinery and supplies for the new tire factory in this city. This machinery will arrive immediately, and will be at once installed. The factory will probably begin operations about Dec. 1, when a daily output of several hundred tires will be placed upon the market. Mr. Holdaway mentions an eastern rubber tire factory which paid off $500,000 in indebtedness and paid $600,000 in dividends the past year. A large percentage of tires used in the United States are imported from France and Germany, and as a result of the European war no tires will be imported into the United States from those countries probably for some Anaheim—A.

O'Brien, James Forbes, Chas, Wagner, A. Pierotti, Frank Marter, John Scott La Habra, Harry Ray Brea, Slg Salveron, R.Y. Mr. Needham also justified the confidence placed in him by the electors as he speedily rose to be the most important member of Congress from the pacific coast. He was placed on the committee on ways and means and climbed to third place on that import committee. He has always advocated protection to American industries, and will again take his place on his old committee where he can look after the interests of California. After the general election of 1916, should the republicans win, he will assist in framing a new tariff bill, and California will not be forgotten when it is gotten up. Anaheim—Frank Shanley, Jno.

Object Or The enterprize prognosis Four days of high jinks will follow the opening night, the carnival wind-up at 12 o'clock Saturday night. The Foley & Burk entertainments are only a portion of the show as many other stunts including a street fair and a barbecue will be provided by the committee. The Garden Grove Improvement association was somewhat peeved because Anaheim failed to send a delegation to the recent banquet of the Associated Chambers at that point. The secretary reported that fifteen members would attend from the Anaheim Board of Trade and the Grove people prepared to feed them, but a count of noses was made it was discovered that only one Anaheim man was present. The meeting was something of a frost as it was held the day following election and many people who otherwise would have attended had not been to bed the previous night. The secretary was instructed to send a check for $14 to the Garden Grove committee. James H. McPhee wants the Board of Trade to induce the city dads to adopt the ordinance. It was decided to recommend the passage of such ordinance to the trustees, also that it should embody all the other recom- gin operations about Dec. 1, when a daily output of several hundred tires will be placed upon the market. Mr. Holdaway mentions an eastern rubber tire factory which paid off $500,000 in indebtedness and paid $600,000 in dividends the past year. A large percentage of tires used in the United States are imported from France and Germany, and as a result of the European war no tires will be imported into the United States from those countries probably for some time to come. No tires are now being imported from these countries, and this fact will add a large impetus to local manufacturing establishments. In California more than $20,000 a year is expended for tires alone, and this amount will be largely increased with the addition of thousands of new cars consequent upon the new system of state and county roads. Mr. Holdaway will be in this city again in the near future he will superintend the installation of the new machinery. The Ladies Catholic Benevolent Association held a most successful meeting on Tuesday afternoon at the Knights of Columbus Hall. Mrs. Dorsey of Los Angeles, the State Deputy, was present and assisted in the initiation of a large class. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: President, Miss M. Finney; 1st Vice-President, Mrs. J. Truxaw; 2nd Vice-President, Mrs. Servatius; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Wood; Financial Secretary, Mrs. Bushard; Treasurer, Mrs. J. L. Gates. C. E.

GERMAN AMERICAN IN NEW QUARTERS Popular Financial Institution Moved To New Home Saturday Night The German American bank, safely transferred all its documents, records, cash and other paraphernalia into its new home on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets Saturday evening, and is now transacting business in their spacious and elegant quarters. All the inside finishing is not yet complete and there is still a pronounced odor of paint and newness about the place, but the business is being transacted with the same geniality and courtesy that has always characterized this institution. This bank was established but a few years ago, but it prospered from the start and soon grew too large for its room on West Center street, and it was necessary to look for something larger. Several months ago the directors purchased the Schumacher building at the northeast corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, paying $42,000 for it, and began remodeling it to suit their purpose. The remodeling consisted in razing the entire structure with the exception of a couple of walls, and the structure was built anew. The banking room in the corner being constructed especially for the purpose, is one of the most commodious, convenient and elegant in the county. HOME AGAIN FROM THE EASTERN STATES MR. AND MRS. GEORGE W. HAMLER ARRIVE AT ANAHEIM AFTER 3 MONTH'S ABSENCE SAW MANY SIGHTS OF INTEREST BUT ARE EXTREMELY GLAD TO GET BACK TO ANAHEIM After wandering about for three months in the eastern and middle western states and a portion of Canada, Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hamler returned to their home Saturday evening and breathed a couple of sighs of relief on finding themselves once more within the gates of Anaheim. Though they had an enjoyable trip throughout its entire length they pined for a sight of the old friends left behind and were exceedingly happy to find themselves surrounded by Anaheim people once more. Mr. Hamler was in poor health when they left here in June, but he returns looking the picture of health and with 27 additional pounds of flesh on his bones. Mrs. Hamler is also in excellent health.

J. CHRISTOPHER HELD UP ON OCEAN Vessel Overhauled by Cruiser and Warned to Travel Only in Daytime Some of the uncomfortable incidents of war were experienced by L. J. Christopher, the Los Angeles caterer and his wife, who have been touring Europe. Mr. Christopher is well known to many Anaheim people consequently his movements are of interest here. On September 2nd they sailed from Rotterdam on the steamship Potsdam for Boston. When two days out of port the Potsdam was overhauled by a German cruiser and all Germans between the ages of 18 and 50 taken off and returned for service in the war. The Potsdam was also cautioned to lay up in the night and only run by daylight. This delayed the vessel and at last reports she had not yet arrived at her destination. Miss Marie Roos, niece of Mr. Christopher, has been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Klstler, and is growing anxious over the non-arrival of the vessel. M. Pellesler, the Whittler dairy man, with his wife and family, accompanied the Christians. He was born in France but came to America at the age of three. While visiting in France he was impressed into the service and is now on the firing line if a German bullet has not cut short his career. SUGAR COMPANY PROTESTS ROAD TAX Objects to Paying for Improvements On Anahelm-Fullerton Highway The Anaheim Sugar company has entered a strong protest against the proposed tax levy for road improve- throughout its entire length they pined for a sight of the old friends left behind and were exceedingly happy to find themselves surrounded by Anaheim people once more. Mr. Hamler was in poor health when they left here in June, but he returns looking the picture of health and with 27 additional pounds of flesh on his bones. Mrs. Hamler is also in excellent health. They spent a few days in Kansas City, the gateway of the middle west, on the journey outward, and from there went to Buffalo, which was their jumping off place in the east. From here they made excursions to Niagara Falls and other points of interest. During their trip they passed into Canada and visited awhile on King George's soil, but were exceedingly glad to get back to the home of the free and the land of peace. War preparations were already in progress and Canada was greatly excited and disturbed. Most of their vacation was spent in the lake region. At Elkhart, Wisconsin they stopped two or three weeks while Mr. Hamler attempted to depopulate the lake of its fish. He made numerous and beautiful catchs but there are still a number of good fish left in the water. Spirit Lake, Iowa, was another good fishing ground. This is a famous summer resort for invalids and tourists. The water of the lake is noted for its purity. A large portion of their time was spent in Illinois at their old home. They met many old-time friends and acquaintances at Moline, the agricultural implement manufacturing town on the Moississippi river. This was the former home of Mr. and Mrs. Hamler, and one of the chief objects of the trip was to visit relatives and friends there. They arrived at home Saturday night and declare that every day of the journey was one of pleasure but the happiest was the one in which they again set foot on the soil of Anaheim. Although absent but ninety days, Mr. Hamler says he sees many improvements in Anaheim. He was particularly glad, to note that the old livery stable building on West Center had been torn down and that a substantial brick structure would replace it. Mr. Hamler is an uncompromising advocate of civic improvement and believes that the end always justifies the means if the city's beauty is added to thereby. He will again SUGAR COMPANY PROTESTS ROAD TAX Objects to Paying for Improvements On Anaheim-Fullerton Highway The Anaheim Sugar company has entered a strong protest against the proposed tax levy for road improvement in the so-called Anaheim-Fullerton Road Division. County Clerk W. B. Williams received the protest by mail Monday. In this protest it is recited that said road division has never been legally established, and therefore has no legal existence. The protesting company also averns that no valid election was ever held in the district which could hold the company for the payment of such road tax levy, or creating such a division as contemplated, or as any basis for such a tax. The protesting company also declare that such action as was taken is unconstitutional. The company makes the specific charge that there was an attempt made to change the minutes of a meeting which was held November 5, and that the company has been advised that the proceedings of that meeting are void. The company also claims that an erroneous description was placed before the Board, and that the notice of the special election was defective, and that it was not conducted in the manner prescribed by the statute. In conclusion the company stressously objects to the creation of a road district in the place in which it has been laid out. Lace of Santa Ana; R. T. Davies of Fullerton; W. O. Hart of Orange.

Mr. Hamler is an uncompromising advocate of civic improvement and believes that the end always justifies the means if the city's beauty is added to thereby. He will again occupy his seat at the council table and will probably have some new stunts to propose for the betterment of Anaheim. MRS. COLE ENTERTAINS One of the pleasant social affairs of the season was the Kafe Klatsch given by Mrs. W. J. Cole at her handsome home at Hardscrabble ranch on Wednesday afternoon. The hostess, assisted by her four charming daughters, had prepared games of word puzzles in which all joined and which were both entertaining and instructive. Prizes were won by Mrs. Dwyer and Mrs. Kuchel. Late in the afternoon the guests were ushered into the dining room where refreshments which fully sustained the well known reputation of the hostess for skill in culinary arts, were served. The first course was a salad and wafers, followed by coffee, cakes and ice cream. The guests arrived at home about dusk, the motor ride into town being a pleasant ending to a most pleasant afternoon. H. J. Patterson of Riverside was visiting in Anaheim last week at the home of his old friend, E. A. Day on Placentia avenue. Messrs Patterson and Day were old acquaintances in New York a quarter of a century ago.
