NEEDHAM. STIRS GREAT THRONG AT ORANGE ATTACKS POSITION OF DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION'S FREE TRADE POLICIES SHOWS KETTNER VOTED FOR WAR TAXES AND FOR TOLLS UPON AMERICAN SHIPS THROUGH CANAL Attacking the democratic administration for its free trade policies, toward California industries, James C. Needham, republican candidate for congress in the 11th district, at Orange on Monday evening, drove home his arguments against democratic misrule in an eloquent address of two hours duration to a large and enthusiastic audience of several hundred people which frequently interrupted his address with long continued and enthusiastic applause. Mr. Needham never spoke to greater advantage, and his voice permeated to every section of the large hall as he denounced the policies of the present democratic administration, showing that congressman Kettner had stood with the administration for all of the policies. the Panama canal free of tolls. In the campaign of two years ago, the republican, democratic and progressive platform declared in favor of this exemption to our coastwise shipping interests, and Mr. Wilson, during his campaign, announced himself as in favor of continuing this policy. Wilson changed his policy upon this vitally important matter upon being elected president. Speaker Clark left his chair in the House of Representatives to combat Wilson's theory, making a great speech in which he denounced the policy of deception on the part of the president. Mr. Underwood and many other democratic leaders opposed Wilson's turn-about tactics, but Wilson drove his bill through the house and Congressman Kettner supported him. This bill which Kettner supported, places America coastwise vessels on a parity with foreign ships. They must pay $1.20 toll per ton, along with vessels of all foreign maritime powers. This is a disastrous blow to our shipping interests, and is especially severe upon the interests of San Diego harbor, which is the first port of call on the Pacific north of the canal. He had encountered some thin-skinned people who favored the retention of a democratic member in office this year, because they maintained that a democrat could get more appropriations from the pork barrel for his constituents than a republican, but he showed that all that Kettner had done for San Diego with the present administration was to secure rule in an eloquent address of two hours duration to a large and enthusiastic audience of several hundred people which frequently interrupted his address with long continued and enthusiastic applause. Mr. Needham never spoke to greater advantage, and his voice permeated to every section of the large hall as he denounced the policies of the present democratic administration, showing that congressman Kettner had stood with the administration for all of the policies which now threaten the existence of many California industries. He denounced the method of adopting the free trade policy and showed that the democratic majority in the house arrayed itself against the introduction of any amendment to its tariff bill. He said the present democratic congress had convened in April of last year, and had been in continuous session up to the present time. The ways and means committee of the House which framed the present Underwood tariff bill had convened in secret session and had voted to maintain its deliberations in secret caucus, suppressing any effort on the part of its members to amend the bill which effected the industries of the country, and especially the industries of California so disastrously. He showed that democratic members of the state of Louisiana had rebelled against the ruling of the ways and means committee, but that every democrat from California, including Mr. Kettner, had supported the free trade bill. He quoted figures showing the reductions in the orange, lemon, walnut and sugar beet schedules, and showed that under the present tariff bill foreign products were driving the industries of this state out of the American market. Owing to free trade, Siebelman and Italian growers were adding oranges and lemons in this country by the ship load, and were underselling California products to such an extent that California navel oranges recently sold in the New York market at $1.80 per box. French walnut growers had likewise shipped their walnuts to the Atlantic seaboard where they came in competition with California growers to such an extent that our walnuts were driven from the market. Mr. Wilson's free trade ideas were based upon the theory that his tariff would reduce the cost of living, but he showed that this cost had increased while hundreds of thousands of American laborers had been thrown out of employment. To remedy the Diego harbor, which is the first port of call on the Pacific north of the canal. He had encountered some thin-skinned people who favored the retention of a democratic member in office this year, because they maintained that a democrat could get more appropriations from the pork barrel for his constituents than a republican, but he showed that all that Kettner had done for San Diego with the present administration was to secure an appropriation for a survey of the harbor. There had already been ordered, he said, about 25 surveys of San Diego harbor, and this was the best Kettner could do under the present administration. On the other hand, he. Needhad, had in the congress two years ago, secured an appropriation of $261,850 for San Diego harbor. Needham's address was a powerful effort, and was one of the best campaign speeches ever heard in this county. At its close hundreds of voters pressed forward to press him by the hand and assure him of their support. He was greatly pleased at his reception, and was confident of carrying the county by a large majority. The meeting was called to order by J. W. Duckworth, chairman of the Orange county republican central committee. Samuel Armor, the veteran republican war horse of Orange, presided and introduced Needham in a strong address. At the conclusion of Needham's address, Armor called for a vote of thanks on the part of the audience for Needham's masterly presentation of the political issues now engaging the attention of the voters of Orange county. This was moved and carried unanimously amid great applause. Hon. Joseph C. Burke of Santa Ana republican candidate for the assembly, delivered a stirring political address, and was loudly applauded. After the meeting Needham held a conference with leading members of the republican party from different sections of Orange county, all of whom assured him that republicans were supporting him enthusiastically in every precinct. He was told his majority in this county would be 7000. Needham left for San Bernardino county on Tuesday morning. He spoke to large audiences at Chino, Redlands, San Bernardino and other cities of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. He had just returned from a campaign of Inyo county where meeting of chairmen county central commission Angeles this week. Duckworth, of the trial committee, pleaded in this county for standard bearer.

Frederick tour of this county; red to with enthusiasm of support at t he fact that South which has 43 per cent strength of the state a candidate for governor Fredericks denied tha market at $1.80 per box. French walnut growers had likewise shipped their walnuts to the Atlantic seaboard where they came in competition with California growers to such an extent that our walnuts were driven from the market. Mr. Wilson's free trade ideas were based upon the theory that his tariff would reduce the cost of living, but he showed that this cost had increased while hundreds of thousands of American laborers had been thrown out of employment. To remedy the reduced customs revenues of the country which were caused by the democratic free trade tariff, President Wilson had suggested direct taxes upon the American people to the extent of $105,000,000. Congressman Kettner had that day voted in favor of this bill which imposed previous burdens upon the people. He said that because of the democratic policy in favor of free sugar, the farmers of Orange county were this year receiving $200,000 less for their crop than they would have received under republican protection. With free sugar in 1916, the inevitable result would be the destruction of our beet sugar factories. Under republican protection foreign shippers of sugar paid in custom's duty from $52,000,000 to $58,000,000 a year. Free sugar means that the American sugar trust will be enabled to import its raw sugar free of this duty, and to make up this deficit the democratic administration now proposes to levy a direct tax upon the American people. The bill had been up for consideration in the House on that day and Congressman Kettner voted in favor of it. Needham attacked Kettner's record on the Panama canal tolls, and was loudly applauded by the large audience. He showed that under the past administration American coastwise ships were permitted to pass through sections of Orange county, all of whom assured him that republicans were supporting him enthusiastically in every precinct. He was told his majority in this county would be 7000. Needham left for San Bernardino county on Tuesday morning. He spoke to large audiences at Chino, Redlands, San Bernardino and other cities of San Bernardino and River-side counties. He had just returned from a campaign of Inyo county where he was everywhere received by large outpourings of the people, who promised him undivided support on election day. GOV. JOHNSON HERE Governor Hiram Johnson, who is making a tour through Orange county, spoke to a good audience on the vacant ground east of Masonic Temple at 2:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The governor is not overly modest in speaking of his own achievements and triumphs of his two-year-old party. The record is a good one, according to the governor, but the fact that most of the reforms accredited to himself and his party were accomplished years before his party was born, makes his bombastic claims sound rather ridiculous to persons who are informed on state politics. The governor spoke last night to a gathering of progressives at Santa Ana. Fifty members of the Santa Ana order of Elks invaded St. Michael's church Sunday morning to the surprise of the rector, Rev. Gillmor. Mr. Gillmor is chaplain of the Santa Ana lodge, but the visit of his flock was unexpected. The boys left a substantial reminder of their visit with the reverend gentleman. One of the strongest out by Capt.

JOHN D. FREDERICKS REPUBLICAN STANDARD BEARER WILL SWEEP SOUTH BY 100,000 MAJORITY That the nine counties south of the Tohachapi will roll up a majority for Capt. John D. Fredericks, republican candidate for governor of more than 100,000 votes November 3, was the consensus of opinion expressed at a meeting of chairmen of republican county central committees held in Los Angeles this week. Chairman J. W. Duckworth, of the Orange county central committee, pledged 5000 majority in this county for the republican standard bearer. San Diego county is good for 15,000 for Fredericks, and San Bernardino promises 10,000. Riverside, Imperial, Ventura, Santa Barbara and other counties pledge large majorities for Fredericks, and Los Angeles county will come through with SENATOR BORAH TO STUMP CALIFORNIA Idaho Senator Will Speak In State In Support of Capt. John D. Fredericks Senator Wm. E. Borah of Idaho will stump California for Captain John D. Fredericks and the republican ticket. Senator Borah is a presidential possibility, and the republican ticket in 1916 may be Borah for president and Fredericks for vice president. Borah is the greatest living orator in the United States, and he comes to California bearing a message to the common people of the state. Borah is the man who opposed Clarence Darrow in the Stunenberg dynamite case in Idaho, when the dynamiter, Harry Orchard, was sent to the penitentiary for life. Stunenberg was governor of Idaho when he called out the militia to protect property after dynamite raids by the L. W. W. He was assassinated as he returned home to his family one evening by an infernal bomb placed at his front gate. As he was about to meet his wife, a family he was blown to atoms by an infernal machine. Harry Orchard was sent to the penitentiary for life for this dastardly crime. Fredericks is the man who opposed Clarence Darrow in the McKinney County Courthouse. WILL ENTERTAIN SOUTHLAND'S PIONEERS BOARD OF TRADE PREPARING BANQUET FOR OLDEST INHABITANTS OF THIS AND NEIGHBORING COUNTS ANAHEIM PICTURES WILL BE SHOWN IN MOVIES AT SAN FRANCISCO AND SAN DIEGO FAIRS One of the stunts decided upon by the Board of Trade for carnival week is a reception and banquet to the pioneer residents of Southern California. It is appropriate and fitting that the mother colony should assemble within her gates and royally entertain the surviving remnant of the sturdy sons and daughters who came here when the country was wilderness and desert and blazed the way for the civilization and prosperity its people now enjoy. A list of all the old-timers still living will be procured from each of the southern counties bringing here all who are able to travel or will consent to come and welcome them as meeting of chairmen of republican county central committees held in Los Angeles this week. Chairman J. W. Duckworth, of the Orange county central committee, pledged 5000 majority in this county for the republican standard bearer. San Diego county is good for 15,000 for Fredericks, and San Bernardino promises 10,000. Riverside, Imperial, Ventura, Santa Barbara and other counties pledge large majorities for Fredericks, and Los Angeles county will come through with an avalanche of votes for the home candidate. That Fredricks will sweep the state by 200,000 majority over Johnson is an opinion expressed by republican leaders from all parts of the state. Johnson is now in the south following in Fredericks' tracks, but it is the opinion in well informed circles that the progressive candidate will be snowed under at the election on November 3. San Francisco and the other counties in the north are good for great majorities for Fredericks, and that he will sweep the state by the greatest majority ever given a candidate seems to be as well assured as anything in the future can possibly can be. Congressman Joseph R. Knowland of Alameda was present at the meeting and expressed himself as being confident of election by a great majority over his progressive and democratic opponents. It was plainly manifested at the meeting that Needham would sweep the Eleventh congressional district over his democratic opponent. Republicans throughout the districtresent the democratic policy of free trade, which menaces the existence of citrus, walnut and sugar beet industries of the southern counties. The democratic congressman's vote in favor of Wilson's repeal of free tolls to American coastwise ships through Panama canal was also denounced, and that he will be snowed under by Needham even in San Diego county admits of but little doubt. Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial counties will give Needham 25,000 majority, and that he will have large majorities in every county of the district is a foregone conclusion. One of the strongest points brought out by Capt. Fredericks in his recent tour of this county, which was referred to with enthusiastic manifestations of support at the meetings, was the fact that Southern California, which has 43 per cent of the voting strength of the state, had not named a candidate for governor in 16 years. Fredericks denied that he was governor of Idaho when he called out the militia to protect property after dynamite raids by the L.W.W. He was assassinated as he returned home to his family one evening by an infernal bomb placed at his front gate. As he was about to meet his wife a family he was blown to atoms by an infernal machine. Harry Orchard was sent to the penitentiary for life for this dastardly crime. Fredericks is the man who opposed Clarence Darrow' in the McNamara trial in Los Angeles some years ago, for dynamiting. Fredericks sent the McNamara to the penitentiary, and sent Clarence Darrow crawling out of the state. Borah will stump California for Fredericks and the republican ticket. Efforts are being made to bring him to Anaheim and Orange county. He may be the next president of the United States. Arrange your business so you may be able to hear him. He is the greatest political orator in the United States, and he brings a message to you which you should hear. ties were entirely negligible. Orange county was raised $10,000,000 by this ruld of the state board of equalization. It was unfair and unjust to the southern counties, yet there will be no redress to our taxpayers until we get a governor from southern California occupying the chair of the state executive. Another injustice to the counties of Southern California, which we have suffered at the hands of the northern politicians, is in the unfair distributing of the state into senatorial and assembly districts. If the southern counties had their rights we should have at least five more state senators and ten more assemblymen in the state legislature. Thus Orange and Riverside counties, which 14 years ago were placed in the 39th senatorial district, now has Imperial county added to the district. Orange and Riverside counties 14 years ago had sufficient population to entitle them to one senator and two assemblymen, and while the two counties have more than doubled in population at this time, Hiram Johnson and his progressive machine, at the last session of the legislature, added Imperial county to the already top-heavy district. Some of the senatorial districts of the north have not the population of Orange county, which will have a registration of nearly 25,000 votes for the general election next month.

Fredericks in his recent tour of this county, which was referred to with enthusiastic manifestations of support at the meetings, was the fact that Southern California, which has 43 per cent of the voting strength of the state, had not named a candidate for governor in 16 years. Fredericks denied that he was making his campaign on sectional issues, but maintained that the 9 counties south of the Tehachapi, which have nearly one-half of the state's entire population, should be given the opportunity of naming the governor at this time. It may be years, he said, before such another opportunity presents itself, and he urged republicans of the southern counties to rally solidly to the support of the republican ticket. Another incentive for the election of a Southern California man for governor is the absurdly unfair districting of the state into three equalization districts with all the counties in the state south of San Francisco voting more than three-fourths of the entire state vote, forming only one equalization district. San Francisco comprises one equalization district, while Los Angeles, which has hundreds of millions of dollars more assessed valuation than San Francisco is in the third equalization district with 27 other counties. The counties of the northern part of the state represent the second equalization district, and with San Francisco they dominate the equalization districts of the state. Five years ago the state board of equalization raised the assessed valuation of the several southern California counties $321,000,000, while the insignificant raises in a few of the northern coun- population to entitle them to one senator and two assemblymen, and while the two counties have more than doubled in population at this time, Hiram Johnson and his progressive machine, at the last session of the legislature, added Imperial county to the already top-heavy district. Some of the senatorial districts of the north have not the population of Orange county, which will have a registration of nearly 25,000 votes for the general election next month. If Johnson and his progressive machine had treated us fairly Orange county would have been given one state senator and two assemblymen, while we have at the present moment only one assemblyman and for 14 years have been naming a state senator alternately with Riverside county. So the county has been represented in the upper house of the legislature by naming one state senator every eight years. If Imperial county shall claim its right to name a state senator, Orange county will not name a member of the upper house of the legislature until eight years after the general election in 1916. This is absurdly unfair and unjust to the 25,000 voters registered in this county. The three counties forming the 39th district are entitled to at least one additional senator and two additional assemblymen. It is high time the people of the south rose on masse and insisted upon their political rights. The north has been persistent in its attitude of political hostility to the south, and the moment has arrived for the people of the south to rise up and demand that they be given a square deal politically. The political clock is striking. Rise up, ye men and women of the Southland, and demand that this infamous treatment at the hands of the northern progressive politicians shall cease, now and forever. The clock is striking. Up and at them. Metzger of Santa Ana. On motion of H. P. Noll it was voted to pay half of this provided the Merchants' association puts-up the balance. Chairman Ahlborn of the advertising committee reported that D. W. McDannald, the Orange county advertising manager, was in town last week getting views of this city for the purpose of presenting them on canvas at the San Francisco and San Diego fairs. He also reported that Prof. Hawck had prepared copy for the Anaheim section of the Orange county booklet. 100,000 copies of which will be printed and distributed at the fares and through the east. The secretary reported that the contract for the concrete bridge spanning the river at Olive had been let, for $26,000, and that work would begin on it Monday. It will be built just north of the present bridge and travel will not be disturbed while it is under construction. Chairman Krause of the protection committee announced that a protection district would soon be formed. Action on the question had been delayed by mutual consent of the parties for and against the formation of a district but a hearing would probably be had on October 6. He had no doubt that the district would be formed. A letter was received from Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce thankking F. K. Greeswell for a beautifully polished and carved slab of wood. Mr. Greeswell cut it from a pepper tree planted by J. P. Zeyn in 1871, and after mounting it presented it to the Los Angeles chamber on behalf of the Anaheim Board of Trade. It weighed 300 pounds.

NAPOLEON HART IS LAID AT REST Funeral Thursday Under the Auspices Of the Odd Fellows Lodge Funeral services over the remains of Napoleon Hart, who died of heart elung left here for Germany, May 26, and is expected to return home this week or next. He writes of the enthusiast characterizing the German nation at the outbreak of war, and states the Germans have been victorious against the Russians and allies. He notes the fall of Liege, Namur and other Belgian and French fortresses, and as he writes hears the bells of Wittstock, ringing in token of another German victory. Mr. Nebelung has suffered no inconveniences because of the war, and all reports circulated here for a month past that he was impressed into service by the German army are, of course, unfounded. Likewise the reports that his pocket was picked up $400 are understood to be mere figments of the imagination. Mr. Nebelung was a guest of Fred Hartung, a brother of John Hartung of the First National Bank, formerly a well known resident of this city, at Hanover, and he spent some time in looking up old schoolmates whom he had not seen in 50 years. He saw the home in which he was born, and visited the graves of his father and mother.* He writes that he will probably return in the near future, and he is expected to arrive at an early day. Mrs. Nebelung also received a letter from her husband in which he states he will probably be home the first week in October. Mr. Nebelung's letter was unsealed, as the German censors will not permit sealed communications to leave the country. His letter reads as follows. Wittstock, Germany, Aug. 30. Editor Gazette: Man proposes, but the Kaiser disposes! Just about a month ago I intended to send you the promised letter to give you some sketches of my travels in dear old-Germany. After travelling with a nephew of mine through Thuringia visiting Eisenach, including the old Wartburg, one of the most historical old castles of Germany, where the great reformer Martin Luther lived a year in retirement, completing his work, the translation of the Bible into the German language, and in which the room he lived in, together with some of his own manuscripts, the bed he slept in, all still preserved in their original state, not to forget the historical blotch of ink on the wall, caused by his hurling his inkstand a his Satanic Majesty. However the blotch itself is gone, scratched off by souvenir hunters, leaving only a hole in the plastering. From Eisenach we went via Gotha and Erfurt to Nordhausen where I have some relatives living, and where my father is buried. From there we went east to the Kraehus monument. NAPOLEON HART IS LAID AT REST Funeral Thursday Under the Auspices Of the Odd Fellows Lodge Funeral services over the remains of Napoleon Hart, who died of heart failure early on Wednesday morning, were held at his residence on Claudina street Thursday afternoon. The Odd Fellows lodge of which he had long been a member, conducted the service according to the rites of that order both at the house and the cemetery. A long procession of friends followed the body to the Anaheim cemetery where he was laid to rest. Mr. Hart was found dead in his bed by his wife Wednesday morning. He had apparently been in his usual good health on retiring the previous night, and the grim reaper visited him apparently while asleep, as the body showed no signs of a struggle. He was an old resident of Anaheim, having lived here nearly 30 years. He had been in active business up to two years ago. He also made wise investments in real estate at Anaheim and in San Diego county and left an estate estimated at $150,000.
