NEEDHAM SPEAKS TO A GREAT AUDIENCE CLOSES CAMPAIGN IN ORANGE COUNTY AT SANTA ANA LAST NIGHT MAKES TOUR OF OIL FIELDS, BUENA PARK AND OTHER POINTS IN COUNTY James C. Needham, republican candidate for congress in the 11th district closed his campaign in Orange county with a powerful talk for support of republican principles at a great mass meeting held at Santa Ana last night. It was one of the largest and most enthusiastic meetings held at the county seat during this campaign, and Needham was given assurances on every side that he would sweep Orange county at next Tuesday's election. He spoke of the disastrous effects of the democratic free trade tariff upon the citrus, walnut, sugar beet, bean and other industries of the county which are threatened with destruction by the Wilson administration. He quoted figures showing the fact that California had suffered more greatly at the hands of the free trade tariff reformers than had any other state in the union. He showed that while the balance of trade under the Taft administration had been $600,000,000 in 1912; the balance of trade against us in the ten months operation of the Underwood bill had been $210,000,000. This enormous outflow of gold meant not only a continued drain upon our financial resources, but it served to his life. Elected to Congress as a republican in 1898 from the Seventh district, of which San Diego, Imperial, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino were a part. Served 14 years, or 7 terms, until March 4, 1913. Was nine years a member of the ways and means committee, the leading committee of the House of Representatives. The industries of this district are such that a protectionist should be elected to congress. A so called Citrus club, composed almost exclusively of partisan democrats and of no known republicans, has issued a folder to fruit growers urging support of the democratic nominee for congress in this district. This folder contains extracts from letters written by C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, Orange county, and R. C. Allen of Bonita, San Diego county, both very prominent citrus fruit growers, intending to convey the impression that Messrs. Chapman and Allen are supporting the democratic nominee. These letters were written in 1913, prior to the passage of the Democratic tariff law, and were intended to encourage the democratic representative from this district to do all he could for the citrus industry. But the democratic law ruthlessly discriminated against the citrus fruit grower and Chapman and Allea were among the first to urge Needham to become a congressional candidate in this district, and both Allen and Chapman are now supporting Needham and are doing all they can for Needham's election. The re-election of the democratic nominee from this district would be a direct and positive approval and endorsement of a rate of 4-10 of a cent per pound on citrus fruits and a notice to all parties in Congress that this district is satisfied and content with such a low rate and approves such cut and reduction. The re-election of the democratic nominee would be a positive invita- formia had suffered more greatly at the hands of the free trade tariff reformers than had any other state in the union. He showed that while the balance of trade under the Taft administration had been $600,000,000 in 1912, the balance of trade against us in the ten months operation of the Underwood bill had been $210,000,000. This enormous outflow of gold meant not only a continued drain upon our financial resources, but it served to close down factories and manufacturing establishments, throwing hundreds of thousands of men out of employment. Instead of selling foreign countries more goods than we purchased from them, as under the Taft administration, the democratic party has opened the great American markets which are the richest and most inviting in the world, to foreign producers without exacting reciprocal agreements from them. Thus these foreign nations maintain high protective tariff walls against us, shutting out our products and manufactured articles, while their goods are admitted into the United States practically free of duty. He showed that the Sicilian lemon growers and New York importers of those lemons had more potent influence with the present democratic administration than had our own Southern California growers. This was also true he said, with reference to French walnut growers and Spainish orange growers, who were successful in persuading congress to reduce duties on these products in opposition to representatives of these two great California industries. He charged Kettner, his democratic opponent, with dealing a great blow to the shipping industries of this state by voting for repeal of tolls exemption to our coastwise shipping through the Panama canal. The American people had constructed the canal at a cost of $500,000,000 and the Taft administration two years ago had promulgated rules governing the canal, in which exemption from tells to American coastwise vessels passing through the canal was guaranteed. The democratic platform adopted at Baltimore, endorsed exemption of tolls to American coastwise vessels, and President Wilson in his campaign two years ago also warmly endorsed this policy. However Wilson had broken faith with the people, had disregarded the democratic platform, and had demanded that American coastwise vessels pass. SUPERVISORS IN ADJOURNED SESSION Petition for Anaheim Storm Water District Granted with Modified Boundaries The Board of Supervisors met on October 20, pursuant to adjournment. All members and the clerk persent. Demands on the hospital and highway funds on the county of Orange were allowed as read. The Westminster school district bonds, $15,000 issue, were sold to the Orange County Savings and Trust company for par and accrued interest. The petition for the formation of a proposed storm water district to be known as Anaheim Storm Water District was granted, with modified boundaries. The chairman was directed to sign a contract and approve the bonds of Bert Noble for the construction of the Trabuco creek bridge. The contract for the construction of Coyote creek bridge on La Mirada avenue, was awarded to Frank K. Benchley for $1490. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the construction of Sycamore bridge on Laguna road, bids to be opened Nov. 5, 1914, at 2 p.m. Bids were received for the construction of Section 3, Talbert Road, and said bids were taken under advisement until October 27, 1914, at 2 p.m. The hearing of the petition for the formation of Yorba storm water district was continued to Oct. 27, 1914, at 2 p.m. The purchase of a lot at San Juan from J. H. McCarty was consummated for the sum of $3000. The board adjourned to Oct 27, 1914, at 10 a.m. COPIES OF GREAT REGISTER Copies of precinct registers for the third supervisor district comprising 24 rules governing the canal, in which exemption from tolls to American coastwise vessels passing through the canal was guaranteed. The democratic platform adopted at Baltimore, endorsed exemption of tolls to American coastwise vessels, and President Wilson in his campaign two years ago also warmly endorsed this policy. However Wilson had broken faith with the people, had disregarded the democratic platform, and had demanded that American coastwise vessels passing through the canal should be subjected so the same tolls as foreign vessels. Kettner supported Wilson in dealing this blow to California shipping interests, and Kettner also supported the free trade tariff bill. Needham was loudly cheered and was given a great ovation at the close of his masterful address. Needham spent Wednesday touring portions of Orange county not hitherto covered by him in this campaign. He spent some time at the oil fields visiting Olinda and Brea. He also spoke at La Habra, Buena Park, Garden Grove, Westminster, Huntington Beach, and Newport Beach. At each of these places he was met by hundreds of people who pledged him their hearty support. He left for San Diego after the Santa Ana meeting and will have a great meeting in that city tomorrow evening. He has made a great campaign tour of the district, speaking in Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Imperial and Inyo counties. He will sweep these counties with a majority of 20,000 and will carry San Diego county by such a tremendous majority as to make his election practically unanimous. James Carson Needham was born September 17, 1864, in an emigrant wagon at Carson City, Nevada, his parents at the time being enroute to California. Has lived in California all COPIES OF GREAT REGISTER Copies of precinct registers for the third supervisor district comprising 24 precincts and containing 7181 hames are now ready for delivery at this office. Only a limited number of extra copies have been printed, and these will probably be exhausted in a few days. Those who have placed orders for copies can obtain them now at this office. ENGLAND MAKING OUR BRASS BUTTONS Democratic Administration Gives Foreign Manufactures Preference The brass buttons for American soldier's uniforms have been made in England under a contract awarded by the democratic Secretary of War and democratic Secretary of Navy. Uncle Sam's soldiers and sailors wear a lot of brass buttons. Some of them have two double rows down the front of their uniforms. Then, there are army and navy ornaments, shoulder straps and other kind of official insignia. Uncle Sam's revenue officers, under Secretary McAdoo, wear brass buttons too, and even the capitol policemen and watchmen at the doors of the government departments are adorned with those shining emblems of official authority. The civilian who doesn't care much about brass buttons anyhow may find it difficult to realize that Uncle Sam spends from sixty to seventy thousand dollars a year for brass and bronze buttons, but he does. In the "basket clause" of Schedule G, of the democratic tariff law, the duties on these buttons was reduced from 32 per cent to 15 per cent, ad valorem. As soon as this cut was made, an ANAHEIM GAZETTE English firm entered competition for the button contract and because of cheap labor was able to underbid the American manufacturers who had handled the contract satisfactorily for several years and had given employment to hundreds of men in the making of American buttons for American soldiers. As soon as the contract was awarded to British button manufacturers, New England manufacturers, naturally made a big protest. No attention was paid to this until the protest became so strong that democratic senators and congressmen from New England saw their mistake and urged the cancellation of these contracts. Not until July, however, was the contract to the British firm cancelled and then it was given up on the ground that unsettled conditions made delivery uncertain. Thus the war was a very present need in time of trouble to the democrats. CRAVATH AT HOME Gravy Cravath, fielder of the Philadelphia Nationals, and holder of the season's record for home runs in the National and American Leagues, arrived at Santa Ana Thursday, and went to his home at Laguna Beach, where he will spend the winter hunting, swimming, fishing and watching other men build a house on one of his lots. "Clouding Cactus" and his wife started home in a Ford automobile, but got no further than Kansas City. At that point they got a telegram telling them of the serious illness of Mrs. Cravath's father in Los Angeles, so they took a train. During the season Cravath knocked out nineteen home runs. During the first two months of the season the Santa Anan batted .320. Then rheumatism slipped into his system, and held him down for about six weeks. His last two months brought him a stride of .30. His average for the season was .295. Cravath got his start in baseball in Santa Ana when he was a messenger boy for the Western Union. While playing with a town team against a beach team at Huntington Beach Cravath knocked a ball skyward in the direction of a sea gull, the Spanish name of which is gaviota. Same fan yelled "Gaviota." Gaviota was shortened to Gavy, and the nickname still sticks. The big leaguer spends all of his winters at Laguna Beach. Last winter he built a house. This winter he is going to build another house, only this time he is going to get others to do the work. He figures on being in fine condition to start out next season. FOR SALE—Horses cheap.

Beer—a Product of the Fields Beer—like Bread—is made from Grains. Nature herself is a brewer. Man's chief duty in the making of beer is to prevent any interference with the natural process of fermentation. Beer is rightly classed as a food product. It is the essence of the health-giving grains—barley-malt and rice—from which it is brewed. Hops with their recognized tonic properties are added to give it flavor. San Diego "The Quality Beer" Old Mission Lager are the highest standards of the brewer's art, and have rightfully earned their reputation because of their health-giving properties and pleasant flavor, which promote health, happiness and temperance.
