Entered at the Anakheim Postoffice as second-class matter. FOR GOVERNOR, JOHN D. FREDERICKS Republicans of Orange county, as well as other counties in Southern California, should stand for Captain John D. Fredericks for governor, and should support him unanimously and enthusiastically. It has been sixteen years since a Southern California candidate has been elected governor. It is about time that we should have another governor from this portion of the state. Don't you think so? The Southern counties have named three governors of the state in the last 40 years. In the counties south of Tehachapi there is 45 per cent of the entire vote of the state, and nearly 40 per cent of the state's entire valuation. Yet the north has named the governor so often that, since the admission of California into the union the governors coming from Southern California may be noted upon the fingers of one single hand. One of the great political crimes of the commonwealth foisted upon the Southern counties is in the districting of the state into state equalization districts in California. San Francisco comprises one district, and the counties north to the Oregon line comprise the second equalization district. From San Francisco south to the Mexican line there are 28 counties comprising the third equalization district. In this district is Los Angeles county, which has hundreds of millions of dollars. Hobson remains therefore in the lower house drawing his $25 per day. Hobson probably would have remained in the navy if the Secretary had managed that department of government to suit him. After his exploit at Santiago, and the consequent notoriety he received, the young lieutenant discovered that he was not receiving the recognition he deserved, consequently he severed his connection with that branch of the government's defensive force and entered politics, and his Alabama friends obligingly gave him a seat in congress, which furnished a larger vent for his ambitious ideas. We have heard it hinted that as Mr. Hobson is drawing $25 per day from the treasury at Washington for assisting in the government of this nation he ought to be on the job instead of wandering up and down the Pacific coast, three thousand miles away from that job, endeavoring to save Californians from the deleterious and awful effects of their own misrule. However as he is a democrat and voted for the Underwood bill—for the destruction of California's citrus, sugar and walnut industries, for the repeal of free tolls through the Panama canal, and for everyone of the iniquitous measures that have swatted the life out of American industries and caused hunger in thousands of American homes, nobody will regret that $25 per day, and no Californian will repine if he remains in our midst so far away from the seat where he can do further damage. The fewer democrats who remain on their jobs in Washington the better it will be for the people, and if there are any others who feel inclined to desert their posts and come to California to point out to us the evil of our ways they will be welcomed with open arms and pressed to abide with us until the 63rd congress is dead.

San Francisco comprises one district, and the counties north to the Oregon line comprise the second equalization district. From San Francisco south to the Mexican line there are 28 counties comprising the third equalization district. In this district is Los Angeles county, which has hundreds of millions of dollars more of assessed valuation than San Francisco county, and yet the district comprises 27 other counties besides Los Angeles, while San Francisco comprises one district by itself. Five years ago the state board of equalization, dominated by San Francisco, raised the assessed valuation of the five Southern California counties $321,000,000. Orange county was raised $10,000,000. This increased your taxes, men and women of the Southland, to an outrageous figure, while the counties of the north suffered no raises by the state board of equalization whatsoever. It is time we had a square deal in state politics. Our great voting strength should give us a governor every eight years, but it is sixteen years since Southern California named a governor. It is time for us to get together and name another Southern California man for chief executive of the state. Vote for John D. Fredericks for governor of California. HOBSON WAS HERE Richmond P. Hobson, democratic congressman from Alabama, erstwhile candidate for the seat in the United States senate which Oscar Underwood captured and apostle of prohibition, spoke to a large audience at the Dry Federation stand Wednesday evening. Mr. Hobson is a man who has jumped from comparative obscurity into prominence within a few years. At the breaking out of the Spanish war he was merely a lieutenant in the navy. He was chosen to command the little force which sank the obsolete Merrimac at the mouth of Santiago harbor for the purpose of bottling up the Spanish fleet. It was a hazardous undertaking but was successfully accomplished. Mr. Hobson, woke up the next morning and found himself famous, and he is not losing any glory by reason of over-modesty. He next sprung into prominence at a kissing event in Delaware. ANOTHER INDUSTRY THREATENED California industries have been hit so hard by the present government at Washington, and the state has suffered so much from ruinous legislation, that it is amazing to think that one of the state's oldest and greatest industries is to be set up as a target for hostile missiles on November 3rd. Our citrus, walnut and sugar interests have been partially wrecked by congress, but this can be easier because the destruction came from a superior outside force and we had no power to prevent it. However the life of the oldest and greatest of our industries is now threatened by our own people, and if it is destroyed it will be humiliating to reflect that we did it ourselves, and struck a greater blow at our beloved state than even Washington was guilty of. California wines are famous throughout the world and have been generations. Even the padres who blazed the way for civilization recognized the possibilities of the soil and the God-given sunshine, and planted vineyards. No section on earth is superior to California in viticulture, and from the days when Father Noah planted vines at the foot of Mount Ararat to the present time no region has ever produced a better grade of wine. We can duplicate the celebrated product of the vines of Champagne and the Rhine districts, and we can reproduce the best that ever came out of Oporto. One section of the proposed amendment to be voted on November 3, reads as follows: "The manufacture, the sale, the giving away or the transportation from one point within the state to another point within the state of intoxicating liquor is prohibited," and the law becomes effective five days after the official announcement of the vote by the secretary of state. Thousands of people will vote for this amendment merely from sentiment further damage. The fewer democrats who remain on their jobs in Washington the better it will be for the people, and if there are any others who feel inclined to desert their posts and come to California to point out to us the evil of our ways they will be welcomed with open arms and pressed to abide with us until the 63rd congress is dead.

He was chosen to command the little force which sank the obsolete Merrimac at the mouth of Santiago harbor for the purpose of bottling up the Spanish fleet. It was a hazardous undertaking but was successfully accomplished. Mr. Hobson, woke up the next morning and found himself famous, and he is not losing any glory by reason of over-modesty. He next sprung into prominence at a kissing bee down in Dixie land. It was reported by the minions of a heartless press, that at the close of a speech he kissed every lady in the audience. There were four hundred of them and he took them in rotation without reference to age, looks, color, race, or previous condition. It has since been stated in his defense that only one lady kissed him and the balance wanted to, but we prefer to accept the story of the reporters. There is more romance in it. Mr. Hobson was elected to congress from Alabama and managed to keep himself pretty well in the foreground. He fathered a movement for nationwide prohibition, but the idea wasn't popular among the law-makers at Washington. He declares his intention of continuing the fight, however, until he wins or until the brimstone lakes of the lower region freeze over, if it is necessary to so extend the campaign. A few months ago a United States senator from Alabama died and left a vacant seat in the senate chamber. Mr. Hobson thought his was the proper figure to fit the seat. But Oscar Underwood, chairman of the ways and means committee, author of the present tariff law under which this nation is rapidly running into debt, and under which the industries of the country are toppling and crashing as if an earthquake had struck them, also coveted the seat and got it without over-exerting himself. Mr. One section of the proposed amendment to be voted on November 3, reads as follows: "The manufacture, the sale, the giving away or the transportation from one point within the state to another point within the state of intoxicating liquor is prohibited," and the law becomes effective five days after the official announcement of the vote by the secretary of state. Thousands of people will vote for this amendment merely from sentiment without pausing to consider the cost to the state at the present time or in future years. There are 282,000 persons dependent upon these interests in the state for a livelihood, and the total capital invested is $210,000,000. At one fall blow one-tenth of the population would be deprived of their means of support, and one-tenth of the state's wealth would be wiped out. There are 700 wineries in California and the following figures show the value of the grape industry. Total investment in viticulture ... $150,000,000 Total wealth produced ... 20,000,000 Total acreage in grapes ... 320,000 All of the wine grapes are used at wineries, about 60 per cent of the table grapes have to be dumped into the wineries and a large portion of the ralsin grapes, especially the second crop, are sold to wineries. Hence prohibition strikes at the entire viticultural industry. Ten million dollars is the annual production of the wineries and 150,000 people are depending on them for a living. Most of the product is shipped to other states or foreign lands. There are 75 breweries in the state and the following figures show their value as an industry: Capital invested ... $50,000,000 Wages paid annually ... 6,000,000 Employees and families ... 20,000 Material Used ... 3,500,000 At various pivotal bodies of establishment in view have enriched lands to attract their ideas therefore recommend a "republic" hibitionists of war he was merely a lieutenant in the navy.

There are 22,000 people employed and 112,000 dependents. A democratic journal makes it out a helnous thing that Congress Knowland resisted the repeal of the free canal tolls provision to such extent as to offend the president. It makes his course of action out to be a sort of political less majestic. What Knowland was doing was to put forth a conscientious effort to preserve to his constituents and the whole Pacific coast rights and benefits that had been secured by great effort, and the recession of which had been demanded by nobody and was notriously against public sentiment. The election returns will show to what extent the people of California approve Congressman Knowland's course, and how far they sympathize with the president. SENATOR BAUER FACETIOUS Offers Suggestions for Formation of Model Prohibition Community Editor Gazette—My attention has been called to an editorial in the Anaheim Herald of September 22, giving a report of a so-called prohibition conference recently held at Niagara Falls by a Catholic organization. Among the resolutions alleged to have been adopted at said conference were: nation wide prohibition, exclusion of liquor ads from malls, illegal to ship liquor through so-called "dry states, barring liquor dealers from jury duty, making abstinence a civil service requirement, excluding drinkers from political office making temperance a subject to be taught in public and private schools, favoring equal suffrage, providing that persons convicted of intoxication be disfranchised for five TIRE COMPANY PREPARING FOR WORK NEW MACHINERY AND MATERIAL NOW ON THE ROAD FROM THE MANUFACTURERS WILL BE PUTTING THEIR WHEELS ON THE ROAD BEFORE THE FIRST OF JANUARY Preparations are making at the plant of the Universal Tire company to receive the large quantity of new machinery which President Holdaway recently purchased in New Jersey and Connecticut, also the raw material of rubber, steel, etc., which will be used in the manufacture of tires. Mr. Holdaway invested $90,000 in machinery and material and it is now on the road and expected to arrive within a short time. The big building is being rapidly put in shape to receive it and as soon as it arrives and is put in operation the actual work will begin on the manufacture of tires. Officials of the company claim the factory will be placing on the market the finished product before the first of January. The force of men required at the opening of the works may possibly reach 200, and 100 tires per day will be the output. This will be increased as rapidly as machinery and men can be procured, and before the advent of another year the promoters confidently believe that 500 men will be required and the output will be 500 tires per day. The Holdaway non-puncturable tire which this company will manufacture stands in a class by itself, and is cer- the resolutions alleged to have adopted at said conference were: nation wide prohibition, exclusion of liquor ads from malls, illegal to ship liquor through so-called "dry states, barring liquor dealers from jury duty, making abstinence a civil service requirement, excluding drinkers from political office making temperance a subject to be taught in public and private schools, favoring equal suffrage, providing that persons convicted of intoxication be disfranchised for five years. The only propositions in above statement which have any merit are the teaching of temperance in public and private schools and equal suffrage. The only way in which to have a "nation-wide" prohibition republic(?) is for all people in the United States who believe in so-called prohibition to acquire some part of the earth's surface thinly settled, (Africa, for instance) sell out what they have in this nation and migrate to such country, and found their "dry republic". In order to have a supply of workers to start the "republic" they could take along all those persons in this country favoring "prohibition" who have no property or money. Riching Dearson Hobmond would make the ideal first president of the new "republic." The first article in the constitution should provide that no one shall be eligible to live in the "republic" unless he or she shall declare on oath, on bended knees, that they are "extra dry". The second article should provide that no products shall be cultivated in the "republic" which could be used to make liquor. The third article should provide that the "republic" shall have no commercial or diplomatic intercourse with any foreign nation that permits the manufacture of liquor. It will thus be seen that such "republic" would have no need for laws against liquor, as every citizen at the outset gives his or her pledge that they are "extra dry". To keep up the population "extra dry" children might be bred. The people of such "republic" would not need to worry about what people of other nations manufactured, or used. At various periods in human history bodies of people having the establishment of an ideal government in view have emigrated from their native lands to attempt to give fruition to their ideas in virgin territory. I therefore recommend the above plan for a "republic" to the so-called pro- and is installed work will begin on the wheels. The building will be a bee hive before the first of January, and it is large enough to hold a goodly sized force of men. It is 80x200 feet, three stories high and contains 48,000 square feet of floor space. COUNTY'S BOOSTERS At a special meeting Tuesday the board of supervisors named lecturers and representatives to advertise Orange county during 1915 at the San Francisco and San Diego expositions, and at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. D. W. McDannald, who has been serving at the Los Angeles Chamber will serve at San Francisco next year, his salary to be $150 per month, and he will be head of the lecture bureau. Joseph P. Smith, a local real estate man, was named for San Diego, at a salary of $125 per month. Mrs. W. Bryan will take McDannald's place in Los Angeles at a salary of $100. She has been lecturing on Pomona and San Diego at Los Angeles, but will shortly give up San Diego. During November and December she is to assist McDannald while he is busy gathering exhibits, her salary to be $50. An appropriation of $1750 was voted to bear the county's share of the expense of competitive exhibits, representing all branches of industry, in the five Palaces at San Francisco. This will be in addition to the regular exhibits, and the total expense for the southern counties will be $35,000. W. W. Wilson, who has been representing the county on the Seven Southern Counties Commission, was elected to that position for next year, his salary to be fixed later. T. R.
