KEYNOTE SPEECH AROUSES GREAT ENTHUSIASM JAMES C. NEEDHAM ADDRESSES GREAT AUDIENCE AT OPERA HOUSE MAKES TELLING ARGUMENT FOR PROTECTION OF CITRUS AND OTHER INDUSTRIES James C. Needham of San Diego, republican candidate for congress from the Eleventh California district, delivered his keynote speech to a large crowd at the Anaheim Opera House Thursday evening, and was greeted with enthusiasm by the people who are demanding a change in the policies of the government at Washington. Bringing a message of good cheer, a promise of protection to the industries of the district and a confident prediction of a speedy return to the safe and same policies that made the United States prosperous and great, Mr. Needham was listened to with profound attention and frequently roundly applauded. He predicted the certain overthrow of the Democratic house of representatives not know him now. He has been most successful. He has been honored as few men have been during the same period of time, therefore he must have ability to reach the high position he occupied. In addition to being the 16th anniversary of his first appearance in Anaheim this is also Mr. Needham's birthday, and I am delegated by the republican ladies of Anaheim to present him with a bouquet. After thanking the ladies for their remembrance, Mr. Needham said: "I remember vividly the meeting 16 years ago. It was my first appearance and I was very timid. As the campaign progressed I realized that the chief issue was the endorsement and support of Wm. McKinley, that great apostle of protection. The district was then represented by a Democrat. We appealed to the reason of the voters and redeemed the district. We are now in the middle of an administration of democrats and the question confronting you is whether or not you approve and endorse the fallacies of this administration and desire more of the same brand of legislation. If you are against it the time to speak is in 1914. This is the leading fruit growing district of the world and it is unthinkable that its people could endorse the Wilson administration and the present democratic congress. This government came into power by reason of a divided majority. It represents a minority of the people. Congress was convened in extraordinary session early in 1913 to enact a treason bill and it has been in session to triumph of our country." Captain John D. Lican candidate for formia, was more than enthusiastic reception women of Orange when he was met by delegation of 500 people and was escorted mission town to Orange, this city and a great meeting hall in the evening, were such great meetings addressed his triumphal tour, and enthusiastic ing was given him many hundred fillets applauded his utterance. He said at conclusion the policies of the government at Washington. Bringing a message of good cheer, a promise of protection to the industries of the district and a confident prediction of a speedy return to the safe and sane policies that made the United States prosperous and great, Mr. Needham was listened to with profound attention and frequently roundly applauded. He predicted the certain overthrow of the Democratic house of representatives this fall, and cited as a precedent the wilping out of a brutal Democratic majority in 1892, after two years of Democratic rule. County chairman J. W. Duckworth called the assembly to order and introduced Hon. Richard Melrose, the chairman of the evening. Mr. Melrose presided at the meeting 16 years ago, when Mr. Needham opened his first campaign for congress in this city. He said on taking the chair that he had not presided at a meeting for so long a time that he had forgotten the functions of a chairman. He had been told that he must say a few words about the political issues, consequently he would remark that the democratic party was doing things inimical to the interests of the people of this district, and it behooved the voters to right the wrongs this administration had inflicted. He quoted Mr. Hearst, the great Democratic editor, as asking, "will the Democratic party ever realize that its free trade policy is a mistake?" War in Europe, said he, is responsible for the fact that the Anaheim sugar factory is operating. While we deplore the war and hope for its speedy passing, we also hope that the Democratic administration will pass with it. America is at peace with all the world but we are compelled to pay a war tax. These conditions could not exist under a Republican administration. We never hear the universal cry of hard times under republican rule. Under democratic rule we always have hard times. I do not claim that the republican party contains all the virtues but the indisputable fact remains that that party always brings prosperity to the people and the Democratic party never does. Hon. C. C. Chapman was introduced by the chair and made a short address which was very much to the point. He told about the committee of citrus and other growers which went to Washington to work for protection to California's industries. This government came into power by reason of a divided majority. It represents a minority of the people. Congress was convened in extraordinary session early in 1913 to enact a tariff bill and it has been in session to this hour. There was no opportunity for the people to have a voice in framing that tariff bill. Instead of presenting it to the house of representatives, it was presented by the committee to the democratic members in secret caucus. These democrats passed a resolution that every member should be bound to support it. The Louisiana members rebelled and refused, but not a single democrat from California asked to be relieved from supporting it against the interests of his constituents. No amendment was considered unless endorsed by democratic members of the committee. California administration congressmen promised they would prevent harm to the state, but they were gagged. When republican members offered amendments for our protection democrats were compelled to vote no. "The reductions in the duties on California products under the Underwood tariff law are: Lemons, 66 2-3 per cent; Oranges, 50 per cent; almonds, 33 1-3 per cent; hay, 50 per cent; beans, 50 per cent; butter, 60 per cent; cherries, 50 per cent; Zante currants, 25 per cent; figs, 20 per cent; plums, 60 per cent; prunes, 50 per cent; live poultry, 66-2-3 per cent; dressed poultry, 60 per cent; raisins, 20 per cent; olives, 40 per cent; oil oll, 50 per cent. On the free list is wool and after May 1, 1916, sugar. You have the greatest crop of sugar beets ever grown and had it not been for this menace Orange county growers would have received $200,000 more money for it. As a result of this destruction of sugar protection the United States loses from $52,000,00 to $58,000,00 annual revenue and nobody reaps a dollar of benefit except the foreign producer. We were just beginning to get a fair share of the sugar trade when the democrats came into power with their menace. Louisiana democrats opposed the destructive bill; what excuse had California democrats for supporting it. mission town to T Orange, this city and a great meeting w hall in the evening were such great meetings addressed his triumphal tour y, and enthusiastic ing was given him by the various cities many hundred fille applauded his utter He said at conclusion At Fullerton in resp as to how he felt county after his de had expected much ers in this county, more than pleased ad and enthusiasm where.

He told about the committee of citrus and other growers which went to Washington to work for protection to California's industries. Congressman Smith represented this district at the time, but although he was loyal and did what he could, had not the influence of Needham, who was a member of the ways and means committee. Besides Needham was conversant with conditions and although he did not represent this district at the time was familiar with its interests and worked both on and off the committee for its protection. One senator who was approached told the delegation if they could show him that the industries needed protection he would consider it. You don't have to show Needham. He already knows, and the district is fortunate in having a candidate who is familiar with its need. Kettner is a democrat and votes with his party against our interests. That's a plenty for him. If Needham is elected we can go to work in our orchards and fields and feel safer knowing that we have a champion at Washington who is battling for us. Chairman Melrose introduced Mr. Needham and also presented him with a handsome bouquet presented by the republican ladies of Anaheim. "Sixteen years ago tonight," said the chairman, "I had the honor of introducing Mr. Needham to an Anaheim audience for the first time. No one knew him at that time, but there is not a man, woman or child who does "Democrats claim they ought not to be blamed for the falling off in revenue. They are trying to make people believe the European war is responsible. During the administration of Cleveland, in time of profound peace, bonds were issued for the relief of the treasury. Wilson was afraid to repeat this therefore he urges a direct tax. Even if war had not broken out the administration would have been forced to either issue bonds or levy a direct tax to cover the deficit in the treasury. The war is a fortunate thing for the democrats, but when it ends they will not be able to repeal the war tax. They propose to put 2 cents a gallon on gasoline. The Standard Oil company will not pay this but the $20,000,000 it raises will come out of the pocket of the automobile owner. Instead of a war tax why not restore the duty on sugar? "During the nine months preceding the free trade law our exports were 584 million dollars; during the first nine months under the new law they had fallen to 273 millions. We imported for the same 9 months under protection $1,364,000,000 worth of goods; under free trade the first 9 months our imports were $1,460,000,000. Foreign goods displaced $100,000,000 worth of our own production, and yet people are asking what is the matter with the continued on page 4 At 9 o'clock in the tomobiles from the and Placentia start to meet the Orange contingents on the As the line of 100 a through Santa Ana a chines spread over of roadway.

ANAHEIM CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1914 TRIUMPHAL TOUR OF ORANGE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR STIRS THINGS AT MANY POINTS FIVE HUNDRED ENTHUSIASTIC MEN AND WOMEN MEET HIM AT SAN JUAN Captain John D. Fredericks, republican candidate for governor of California, was more than pleased at his enthusiastic reception by men and women of Orange county on Monday, when he was met at San Juan by a delegation of 500 people in 100 autos, and was escorted from the historic mission town to Tustin, Santa Ana, Orange, this city and Fullerton, where a great meeting was held at Bank hall in the evening. Not in 20 years were such great throngs present at meetings addressed by him all along his triumphal tour through the county, and enthusiastic support and cheering was given him at every point. At the various cities named crowds of many hundred filled the streets and applauded his utterances to the echo. He said at conclusion of the meeting Hamler, Frank Shanley, Bob McKee and a number of other distinguished republicans who lunched with him at the historic Forster mansion. Fredericks spoke from an automobile in the center of the town, a crowd of several hundred gathering about him. He was introduced by R. Y. Williams as the next governor of California and received his first great shout of welcome from the people of Orange county. In his address he said he had begun his campaign of the state at the Southern portion of the commonwealth, where a hundred and fifty years ago the Franciscan Serra and his band of padres first began their work of civilization in the western wilderness. He said the people of California were entering upon another great era of political education, and showed how a protective tariff had built up the citrus, walnut, sugar beet and other industries of the Southland. The tariff, he said, had been removed in large part by the democratic administration, which was elected by a minority party because the republican party had been divided by the personal ambition of one or two men. It was necessary to educate the people to the fact that before we regained our accustomed prosperity it is necessary for us to return to the protective tariff system inaugurated by the republican party. He pointed out the fact that Hiram Johnson is claiming credit for enactment of so-called progressive laws which were placed on the statute book by the republicans years before HOLY HI’S CLAIMS REFUTED BY FREDERICKS LAWS FOR WHICH PROGRESSIVES CLAIM CREDIT ON STATUTE BOOKS BEFOR THAT PARTY WAS BORN REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE DELIVERS MASTERLY ADDRESS AT FULLERTON MONDAY EVE Bank hall at Fullerton was crowded with enthusiastic supporters of Captain Fredericks when he was introduced by Chairman C. C. Chapman at 8 o'clock, Monday night. There was a scattering of hostile forces among the assemblage but it was noticed before the meeting closed that those who came to scoff remained to applaud. The Captain’s speech was one of the most eloquent and convincing ever delivered before a Southland audience. He exposed the fallacies of the Johnson claims and also pointed out the disastrous effects of democratic tariff legislation. This was the first time in sixteen years, he said, the south had an opportunity to elect a governor. No geographical lines, however were drawn in this campaign. He was mission town to Tustin, Santa Ana, Orange, this city and Fullerton, where a great meeting was held at Bank hall in the evening. Not in 20 years were such great throngs present at meetings addressed by him all along his triumphal tour through the county, and enthusiastic support and cheer was given him at every point. At the various cities named crowds of many hundred filled the streets and applauded his utterances to the echo. He said at conclusion of the meeting at Fullerton in reply to a question as to how he felt regarding Orange county after his day's tour, that he had expected much of republican voters in this county, but that he was more than pleased at the great crowds and enthusiasm prevailing everywhere. He was assured that Orange county would give him a tremendous majority on election day. He said he would not again be in the county before the election, but would leave his candidacy in the hands of the republicans of the county. Mrs. Fredericks met him at Fullerton, coming down from Los Angeles on the evening train, and the distingushed couple were tendered a reception at the hotel, where hundreds of men and women called to pay them their respects and tender the next governor of California assurances of their undivided support. Among the many ladies present was Mrs. Elizabeth A. Lawton of Santa Ana, president of the Southern California Federation of Woman's Clubs, who headed a large delegation of women and escorted Mrs. Fredericks to the hall, which was packed to the doors, scores of people being unable to obtain seats. Mrs. Fredericks was handsomely gowned in white silk, and her gracious personage and charming personality were such as to endeavor her to the many ladies and gentlemen present. At the meeting Fredericks proved himself a great orator, his address of an hour and a half duration being the most powerful political address delivered here in 20 years. At 9 o'clock in the morning 30 automobiles from this city, Fullerton and Placentia started for Santa Ana, to meet the Orange and Santa Ana contingents on the way to San Juan. As the line of 100 automobiles passed through Santa Ana and Tustin the machines spread over a mile and a half of roadway. Each machine was decorated and bore streamers bearing the words, "For Governor, John D. Fredericks." All along the line they the republican party had been divided by the personal ambition of one or two men. It was necessary to educate the people to the fact that before we regained our accustomed prosperity it is necessary for us to return to the protective tariff system inaugurated by the republican party. He pointed out the fact that Hiram Johnson is claiming credit for enactment of so-called progressive laws which were placed on the statute book by the republicans years before Johnson was elected governor of the state. Those laws include the workman's compensation act, the railroad commission act, abrogation of railroad passes, child labor law, pure food law, and other enactments all of which had been enacted into law by republican legislatures years before Johnson had ever been heard of. He was loudly cheered throughout his address. At its conclusion the machines were headed northward, and Tustin was reached at 3 o'clock. Here a crowd of several hundred people gathered. Fredericks was introduced by Judge Stutzman, a one-armed veteran of the civil war. He spoke for half an hour and was received with great enthusiasm. A crowd of more than 1000 people gathered at Santa Ana to hear his address. He was introduced by Clyde Bishop, who flayed Gov. Johnson and denounced him as impossible. Fredericks spoke along tariff lines and showed the hollow hypocrisy of the progressive party in claiming credit for progressive legislation enacted long before Gov. Johnson was elected chief executive of the state. At Orange Fredericks was introduced by R. Y. Williams. A large crowd gathered at the Plaza to hear him. He arrived in this city at half past four when a crowd of a thousand people filled the streets to hear his address. He was loudly cheered throughout his speech, and hundreds of republicans pressed forward to grasp his hand, and assure him of their support. At all points in the county where addresses were made hundreds of republicans were presented to him, and during his triumphal tour through the county it is estimated that he shook hands with 5000 people. After a half-hour's address in this city he departed for Fullerton where a great ovation was tendered him. DALE QUARTON This was the first time in sixteen years, he said, the south had an opportunity to elect a governor. No geographical lines, however were drawn in this campaign. He was already elected by the voters north of the Tehachapi, but he looked to the south to give him his big majority. He confidently predicted the election of the republican ticket by 80,000 plurality, and believed it would reach 100,000. "I bring a message to you," said the Captain, "and am going to deliver it. There is a sentiment hangs around the name of California more than any other state in the union. Whenever the name of the state is mentioned it has a golden ring. Partly from sentiment I began my campaign at San Diego, where civilization was born in California. "There have been four periods in California's development. First came the padres who blazed the way for civilization. Next came the miner who ruled the state for a time. Then the great cattle and grain rancher, and later the great day came when the big ranches were cut up into small holdings and the home builder reigned. Under protective tariff the people realized the possibilities of the soil-Prosperous homes were founded and maintained on ten acres of it and empires on a hundred acres. Aladdin's lamp could not have produced a greater transformation. Are we going to give up the homes, school houses, churches and prosperity developed under the protective tariff and degenerate to the level of Sicilian civilization? The progressives claim they are in favor of protection, but how can they explain the fact that they divided the party of protection and permitted a minority free trade party to get into power? Are we going to continue to crucify humanity in order to further the ambition of a few men who lust for office, or will we consider the homes of California, and protect them from the aggression of foreign invaders? Are we going to run off after false gods, or will we do our share toward bringing prosperity back to the nation? If we fail to redeem ourselves by our votes congress will tell At 9 o'clock in the morning 30 automobiles from this city, Fullerton and Placentia started for Santa Ana, to meet the Orange and Santa Ana contingents on the way to San Juan. As the line of 100 automobiles passed through Santa Ana and Tustin the machines spread over a mile and a half of roadway. Each machine was decorated and bore streamers bearing the words, "For Governor, John D. Fredericks." All along the line they were met with cheers by people of the country side, and many houses along the route were decorated with flags and Fredericks' photographs. The party carried luncheon, and arrived at San Juan at eleven o'clock. The auto were arranged on each side of the principal street of the mission town and a picnic lunch was enjoyed, pending the arrival of the distinguished candidate. After lunch many visited the historic mission church and looked with uncovered heads at the statute of Father Junipero Serra, standing upon a pedestal near the ruined edifice erected by Serra a century and a half ago. The statue is life size, and shows the Franciscan father looking down into the upturned face of an Indian boy, who holds in his hand a bow and arrow. The Franciscan's arm is placed lovingly about him and the other hand is held above his head as if calling down a blessing upon him. Many of the party also paid their respects to Judge Richard Egan, who proved himself to be a most happy and agreeable host. At 12:20 Fredericks arrived from San Diego accompanied by a party of gentlemen who will tour the state with him. He was met by J. W. Duckworth, chairman of the Orange county republican central committee, Secretary Dresser, H. A. Dickel, George W. At all points in the county where addresses were made hundreds of Republicans were presented to him, and during his triumphal tour through the county it is estimated that he shook hands with 5000 people. After a half-hour's address in this city he departed for Fullerton where a great ovation was tendered him. DALE QUARTON WINS GOLD MEDAL Carries off First Honors at W. C. T. U.

He was Captain Fredericks exposed the fallacies and thoroughly exploded the claims of the Johnson administration. He said the California government was in the hands of men who were socialistically inclined. A prominent socialist who heard Johnson speak a few days ago declared he could see no difference between the governor's views and his own. No investors, he said will ever risk money in a state threatened with socialism. The progressive platform declares that political parties should be abolished and that governors should be selected from the mass with no party to stand sponsor for him and with no responsibility on his part to any party or persons. If we destroy parties a man could get into office and hold it for life by reason of the machine he could build around him. If Johnson is right in advocating non-partisanship then George Washington was wrong in his beliefs, Thomas Jefferson was wrong, Andrew Jackson was wrong, Abraham Lincoln was wrong, James G. Blaine was wrong, Wm. McKinley was wrong and all the great statesmen who ever lived in America were wrong. Party government means the selection of the best men and holding them responsible for their acts. Referring to the claims of Governor Johnson that the progressives are re-sponsible for all the important legislation acts of the past decade, Captain Fredericks mentioned a few and showed up the absurbitities of the claims. Johnson in his speeches gives his party credit for the passage of the NAPOLEON HART PASSES AWAY SUDDENLY FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED BY HIS WIFE EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING WAS IN APPARENT GOOD HEALTH AND SPIRITS WHEN RETIRING ON TUESDAY EVENING Napoleon Hart, one of the best known citizens of the community was found dead in his bed at his home on South Claudina street, on Wednesday morning shortly after 6 o'clock when his wife went to call him. She was horrified on approaching his bed to find that he was rigid in death. She immediately telephoned for physician who found that life had been probably extinct for several hours. Leonard Baker, representing coroner Winbgler came over in response to a phone message and decided that no inquest or autopsy was necessary as death resulted from natural causes.

Party government means the selection of the best men and holding them responsible for their acts. Referring to the claims of Governor Johnson that the progressives are responsible for all the important legislation acts of the past decade, Captain Fredericks mentioned a few and showed up the absurbities of the claims. Johnson in his speeches gives his party credit for the passage of the woman's suffrage act and exploits it in his speeches. As a matter of fact, Johnson opposed woman suffrage and voted against it. He claims credit for the direct primary law. Whether we like it or not we must confess that it originated in 1909, before Mr. Johnson was governor. In fact Johnson himself was nominated under that law. The pure food law is cited by the governor as a progressive measure. It was enacted by the republicans in 1910, two years before the progressive party was born. The present election law was enacted in 1909, but the governor claims the progressives did it. The child labor law which Hiram cites as another credit mark to the progressives was enacted in 1905. Race track gambling was prohibited by a progressive law according to the governor. This law was placed on the statute books in 1909. The state highway is also pointed to with pride by the governor as part of the achievements of his party. The highway move was started in 1909 under Gov. Gillett. The Johnson administration has been working on the road four years and it is not yet completed. They are welcome to that much credit. (Voice from the gallery, "It's a darn poor road, too.") The juvenile court law was enacted in 1903. The governor actually signed a subsequent bill that never was passed by the legislature. Credit for the railroad commission is also claimed by Johnson. It originated with the republican party in 1905. A republican congress created it. In 1905 Fredericks discussed the railroad commission and advocated it. In 1909 a republican legislature passed the law fixing rates and forbidding passes, thus ending the power of the railroad machine in politics. The republican party believes the railroad commission should be maintained. Johnson makes himself ridiculous in claiming credit for the workman's immediately telephoned for physician who found that life had been probably extinct for several hours. Leonard Baker, representing coroner Winbgler came over in response to a phone message and decided that no inquest or autopsy was necessary as death resulted from natural causes. Mr. Hart was apparently in his usual good health on Tuesday evening, when he met and conversed with a number of his friends at his building adjoining the city hall, which was recently purchased by the city. At that time he showed nothing to indicate that his end was near. He conversed freely with those who were about him and seemed to be in the best of humor and good health. News of his death came as a great shock to his many friends throughout the community for there were few residents of the community who enjoyed a larger acquaintance or who had more steadfast frends than the deceased: Mr. Hart drove in his touring car to San Juan on Monday with the delegation of republicans who met Captain Fredericks at that point. Mr. Hart accompanied him and in the car were several invited friends. He seemed to be in a specially jovial disposition, and entered into the spirit of innocent hilarity as his car approached the different stopping points on the trip. His car honked in unison with scores of others, and he laughed and chatted pleasantly as the crowds gathered about the standard bearer and gave him welcome. He met many friends at San Juan and elsewhere on the trip. Mrs. Hart had prepared a splendid lunch and this was partaken of by the party with keen relish. After lunch Mrs. Hart and a number of friends paid a visit to the old mission church, and she stopped some time before the statue of Junipero Serra. Mr. Hart remained in the car enjoying a fregrant cigar. He applauded Captain Fredericks' utterances, and freely said that Fredericks would be the next governor of the state. He returned with the party after Fredericks' address, stopping at Tustin, Santa Ana, Orange and this city. Arriving here, his car was a short distance behind the Fredericks car and his automobile horn added to the noise of the many autos and the shouts of acclaim by the multitude at sight of the republican candidate. He seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and was apparently never in better spirits or better health.

Johnson makes himself ridiculous in claiming credit for the workman's compensation act. It originated with the National Association of Manufactures, and 28 states had adopted it before California took the matter up. It was introduced at Sacramento and put through by Senator Boynton, a standpat republican. I confess, said Mr. Fredericks, that the progressives gave us many laws. In fact there must be more than a million of them, and among the huge mass there may be some good ones, but they should not be permitted to claim credit for the ones just cited. C. C. Chapman presided at the meeting and made an eloquent speech in introducing Captain Fredericks. W. E. Duckworth's delivery car was run into and badly damaged by C. W. Burns of Santa Ana Saturday. Ernest Bowen was driving the delivery auto and came out of an alley near the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets just as Burns came up Los Angeles street from the south going at a good clip. Bowen was driving slow and was unable to get out of the way. The Santa Ana machine struck the rear of the delivery car, smashed one wheel and otherwise damaged it, the total cost of repairs being about $100. Burns' car was not injured. Mrs. John Hartung made a trip to Los Angeles this week. He returned with the party after Fredericks' address, stopping at Tustin, Santa Ana, Orange and this city. Arriving here, his car was a short distance behind the Fredericks car and his automobile horn added to the noise of the many autos and the shouts of acclaim by the multitude at sight of the republican candidate. He seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion, and was apparently never in better spirits or better health. That he was soon to be called by the hand of death is an occurrence which has filled his many friends with sincere regret. Mr. Hart had been a resident of this city for some thirty years. For several years past he had retired from business. He was a man of large means, owning extensive property interests in this city, at La Jolla, and other points in San Diego county. He recently purchased a large touring car, and spent much time in traveling between this city, San Diego and other points. On his trip to San Juan on Monday he spoke of having made a trip of 180 miles some days before, going from here to San Diego and thence home by way of Pomona and the upper valley. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss. Deceased was a native of Canada and was 63 years of age the 12th of last March. He was a member of the Odd Fellows and the funeral will be under the auspices of that fraternal organization. It is learned that on Tuesday evening at about 7 o'clock, while conversing with friends down town, he complained about pains about the region of the heart, attributing the same, as he thought, to his smoking of cigars, and adding that he would have to discontinue the practice in part. Death probably resulted from heart failure. Continued on page 4
