The Weekly Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION.....$1.50 Per Year Six Months.....$1.00 Three Months.....$50 Cts. Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. R. Y. WILLIAMS FOR SUPERIOR JUDGE When you get into the election booth next Tuesday don’t forget that you have an opportunity of voting for one of the best pieces of timber in the Southland for the important position of superior judge of Orange county. No doubt you know him personally as he is the oldest attorney in point of service and one of the best known men in the county. If you do not know him at least you have heard him frequently mentioned, and you never heard a word derogatory to his character, his ability or his fitness for the position to which he aspires. The office of superior judge is non-partisan, but every candidate has his political preference, or else he is not fitted for any important office. Mr. Williams is a republican but he is too broad-minded, too conservative and too conscienuous to be swayed in his judgment by political or personal bias. All persons irrespective of political faith, agree that he is the best fitted man in the county for superior judge, then, should any voter cast a ballot against him? If there is an office within the gift of the people where political lines should not be drawn it is the superior judgeship. All voters should sink party prejudice and vote for the man whom they believe to be the most eminently fitted for the office. ran” class. These men are all present incumbents of the offices, and the magnificent endorsement they received at the hands of the people indicates that they have been weighed in the balance and found worthy. Williams for county clerk, Sieper for assessor, Joplin for treasurer, Mitchell for superintendent of schools, Lamb for tax solicitor and McBride for surveyor should receive your votes on Nov. 3 in order to emphasize the fact that you endorse their official acts. J. C. BURKE FOR ASSEMBLY Legislative offices are perhaps the most important that the voters will be called upon to fill at the coming election, therefore it is fortunate that the people of Orange county have an opportunity of sending one of the most brilliant men within her boundaries to Sacramento to assist in making the laws governing the state. J. C. Burke, the nominee of the republican party for this important position, is a man eminently fitted for the job. He is an orator of marked ability, he is a man of sound judgment, he is honest and incorruptible, and he is loyal to the interests of Orange county and Southern California. Mr. Burke began his career in this vicinity. Several years ago, before the packing houses and the co-operative companies, for the handling of citrus fruit were established, he was buying oranges in the neighborhood of Anaheim. Pioneer growers, who dealt with him, all speak in terms of commendation of the boy for his square dealing and his judgment, as he never had a red ink return from his shipments. Mr. Burke went to Olinda from here, having secured a good position in the oil fields. THE TWILIGHT In a communication office from Kettner’s Washington, the state that Kettner was assis Santa Ana Free Press lished at the county years ago. Old timer that the Free Press cause of the malodorous Syndicate, which a royalty upon citrus fumigating their orchard stood with this syndicate, which an appeal to the Upreme court. Had tha the claims of the Syndicate a grievous burden would have the citrus growers of the highest legal tribuny slided with the orchard growers and decided secured by the syndicate null and void. The fed on pop furnished Patent Syndicate, and spirators were thrown Washington, the Free eyes and died. Kettner claims to clated with the Free welcome to any bene rive from that fact. Is dead, Kettner wi Tuesday, and his po be strewn by orange soms by growers who and the Twilight Par tempted to rob many to his ashes.

If there is an office within the gift of the people where political lines should not be drawn it is the superior judgehip. All voters should sink party prejudice and vote for the man whom they believe to be the most eminently fitted for the office. The defeat of Roger Williams would be a reflection on the wisdom and fairness of the voters of Orange county. NO PROHIBITION FOR CALIFORNIA Speaking for the great grape-growing industry of California in which $150,000,000 are invested it is sincerely to be hoped that this great industry will not be annihilated at the election on Tuesday by the attempt to vote California dry. We thoroughly believe the prohibition amendment will be buried by an overwhelming vote. But it is fair at this time to say that California has been endowed by nature pre-eminently as one of the greatest wine-growing sections of the world. Ravages of the French vineyards by contending forces in the great European conflict adds emphasis to the fact that the wine industry stands to bring in millions of dollars of revenue to the people of this state. This city was founded more than half a century ago by men who saw its adaptability to grape culture, and more than a century before the Franciscan fathers introduced the luscious grape into the state. To strangle this great industry by voting it out of existence would be a calamity to California. The products of California vineyards are famous throughout the world and are growing in popularity. While the industry today is gigantic it promises to develop into even greater proportions as the possibilities of the soil, the climate and the perpetual sunshine become better known. Grape culture is one of the things this state is peculiarly adapted to, and to fail to take advantage of the opportunities nature has placed before us would be following the example of the foolish servant who digged into the earth and hid his talent because he was not courageous enough to cultivate and increase it. In the grape and brewery industries by political or personal bias. the packing houses and the co-operative companies, for the handling of citrus fruit were established, he was buying oranges in the neighborhood of Anaheim. Pioneer growers, who dealt with him, all speak in terms of commendation of the boy for his square dealing and his judgment, as he never had a red ink return from his shipments. Mr. Burke went to Olinda from here, having secured a good position in the oil fields. This was an important step upward, and he filled his office so acceptably that he attracted the attention of the county clerk who appointed him his deputy and carried him off to Santa Ana. The republican county central committee made him secretary of that body, and for a couple of years he filled the position admirably, but when the people of Santa Ana, recognizing his ability, elected him city clerk by an overwhelming majority he was forced to give up the office. Throughout his entire career he has filled every position so faithfully, acceptably and ably that his ability to do something better has always been recognized, consequently he has steadily moved up the ladder. When he gets into the assembly, which it is fore-ordained he will do by an overwhelming plurality, he will make it known at Sacramento that Orange county is on the map of California. Mr. Burke is an uncompromising republican. He has never wavered in his allegiance to the party, and at the state's capital will be an ardent supporter of Governor Fredericks in his efforts to redeem California from the misrule of the present government. Orange county cannot afford to defeat Joe Burke for assemblyman. We should have a man at Sacramento who is in sympathy with a majority of the people of the county; a man who is familiar with the interests and industries of the county, and who intensely believes in their development and protection; a man who can work harmoniously with the state administration that will be elected on November 3; and a man whom we believe will reflect honor on the voters who send him there to help make laws for the state. In voting for J. C. Burke every voter in the county knows that he, or she, is casting a ballot for a man who is capable, upright and loyal, and that he will represent this county in such a manner that no one will ever have cause to be ashamed. Gradually we are going as to why state highways slowly. It appears that work and engineering little of either time actual road building membered that the highway system was Governor Johnson, lesscessor, Governor Gillie the plan, had it can legislature of 1910, the people for approving 1910. They approved but are still waiting highways. Walter R.

Grape culture is one of the things this state is peculiarly adapted to, and to fail to take advantage of the opportunities nature has placed before us would be following the example of the foolish servant who digged into the earth and hid his talent because he was not courageous enough to cultivate and increase it. In the grape and brewery industries of California $210,000,000 are invested and 282,000 of the state's population are dependent upon them for a livelihood. If the state votes dry on November 3, 5 days after the announcement of the vote by the Secretary of State this vast working capital will be wiped out, and this large army of Californians comprising one-tenth of the state's population, will find their means of existence taken away from them. It is a business proposition and piny sentiment should not be permitted to destroy our greatest industry—an industry that the state is more peculiarly adapted and fitted for than any other section of the world. There are great possibilities ahead for the viticultural industry of California, if we do not turn like a rattlesnake and sink our fangs in our own vitals. While they were elected at the primaries on August 25, by reason of the elimination of all their opponents, and will have no opposition next Tuesday, voters should nevertheless make a cross against the names of W. B. Williams, James Sleeper, R. P. Mitchell, J. C. Joplin, J. L. McBride and J. C. Lamb. Messrs Joplin and Lamb had no opposition to speak of in the primaries, consequently were elected by a practically unanimous vote. Messrs Williams, Sleeper, and Mitchell defeated their opponents by such overwhelming majorities that they could scarcely be listed in the "also harmoniously with the state administration that will be elected on November 3; and a man whom we believe will reflect honor on the voters who send him there to help make laws for the state. In voting for J. C. Burke every voter in the county knows that he, or she, is casting a ballot for a man who is capable, upright and loyal, and that he will represent this county in such a manner that no one will ever have cause to be ashamed. THE POLL TAX The poll tax in California yields an annual revenue of nearly $1,000,000. This is used largely in the cause of education. Proposition No. 10 on the ballot, which will be handed every voter on November 3, provides for the abolition of the poll tax. If this proposition is enacted into law, our schools will suffer. Teachers' salaries will be reduced or the school term shortened. We have a tremendous educational investment in this state. Our tax payers cannot afford to have this investment tied up for several weeks on account of lack of funds to properly conduct the schools. If we are to abolish the poll tax we must at the same time offer a means of providing an equal income. No provision has been made for this. The educational interests of the state were opposed to the measure two years ago. They are opposed to it now. The Sierra Educational News for 1912 went into the matter fully., Amendment No. 10 should be killed. The schools need more money, not less: STAND BY FREDERICKS Stand by John D. Fredericks for governor, the man who put the McNamara dynamiters in the penitentiary, and sent Clarence Darrow bawling out of the state. Stand by Fredericks! ANAHEIM GAZETTE THE TWILIGHT PATENT In a communication received at this office from Kettner's supporters at Washington, the statement was made that Kettner was associated with the Santa Ana Free Press, which was published at the county seat twenty odd years ago. Old timers will remember that the Free Press espoused the cause of the malodorous Twilight Patent Syndicate, which sought to place a royalty upon citrus growers for fumigating their orchards. The Gazette stood with the growers against this syndicate, which was defeated on an appeal to the United States Supreme court. Had that court affirmed the claims of the Twilight Patent Syndicate a grievous and disheartening burden would have been placed on the citrus growers of this state. But the highest legal tribunal in the country sided with the orange and lemon growers and decided that the patent secured by the syndicate was illegal, null and void. The Free Press was fed on pop furnished by the Twilight Patent Syndicate, and when these conspirators were thrown out of court, at Washington, the Free Press closed its eyes and dled. Kettner claims to have been associated with the Free Press, and he is welcome to any benefit he may derive from that fact. The Free Press is dead, Kettner will be buried next Tuesday, and his political grave may be strewn by orange and lemon blossoms by growers whom the Free Press and the Twilight Patent Syndicate attempted to rob many years ago. Peace to his ashes. SOME SAMPLE PROGRESSIVE METHODS Gradually we are getting some light as to why state highways progress so slowly. It appears that so much time and money are consumed in office WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE AND FOUND WANTING Congressman Kettner has come on from Washington having left the national capital before adjournment of congress and is now engaged in making what he terms, a "whirlwind canvass" through the counties of the 11th congress district. Mr. Kettner will experience another whirlwind next Tuesday when he will be buried under a whirlwind of votes polled for James C. Needham, republican candidate for representative of this district in the house of representatives at the national capital. Mr. Kettner has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. His record as congressman is repudiated everywhere in this portion of the district, and voters who supported him two years ago are now arrayed in solid phalanx against him, for they openly charge he has betrayed their trust. Mr. Kettner promised two years ago that if elected to congress he would oppose any reduction in tariff rates for citrus fruits, sugar, walnuts and other products of this district; yet he voted for the Underwood tariff bill which reduced tariff rates—upon all of these products, and threatens them with annihilation. Mr. Kettner was elected to congress upon a platform pledging the democratic party to exemption from tolls of American coastwise vessels passing through the Panama canal, and while such great democrats as Speaker Clark, Oscar Underwood and others stood loyally by the democratic declaration of principles, Mr. Kettner, under the lash of President Wilson, who repudiated his campaign pledges and the democratic platform regarding free tolls to American coastwise vessels, voted in favor of the Wilson bill repealing free tolls, and placing American coastwise vessels upon a parity Of the 30 cases appealed from Judge Craig's court, 13 were reversed. Judge Conrey's election means retention of a superior judicial officer of 14 years experience. His defeat would mean his retirement from the bench—a great loss to the community. Craig's defeat would mean to continue him on the superior court bench as his term does not expire until 1917. Judge Conrey is endorsed by the bar association of Los Angeles county. JUDGE W. P. LAWLOR Judge William P. Lawlor of San Francisco, candidate for associate justice of the supreme court, was in Anaheim Friday in the interest of his candidacy. Judge Lawlor is familiarly known as the "graft trial judge." He presided over the series of court battles in San Francisco at the time of the memorable municipal graft exposures in the north. His undaunted courage in the face of tremendous pressure that was exerted to break down and intimidate the officers of the law has made him known and respected by the people everywhere. That Judge Lawlor is popular throughout the state following vote at the primary election indicates: Chief Justice Angelottl . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 197,443 Conley . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 173,761 Bordwell . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

It appears that so much time and money are consumed in office work and engineering, that there is little of either time or money left for actual road building. It will be remembered that the $18,000,000 state highway system was fathered, not by Governor Johnson, but by his predecessor, Governor Gillett, who proposed the plan, had it carried through the legislature of 1910, and submitted to the people for approval in November, 1910. They approved—four years ago, but are still waiting for most of the highways. Walter R. Bacon, chairman of the executive committee of the republican state central committee, adds illumination of the mystery in a recent public statement, in which he says: "An examination of the payroll of August for the state highway department, discloses a surprising condition. There are in all 181 engineers and 80 draftsmen employed in the headquarters and seven division cities of the state. There are division engineers, assistant engineers, assistant resident engineers, acting engineers, civil engineers, and two or three other kinds of engineers. On the payroll we can find no mention of locomotive engineers, but every other sort is represented. Ordinarily the proportion of draftsmen to engineers is about five to one, that is, one engineer to five draftsmen. In the case of the state highways the proportion is two engineers to one draftsman." "This is but one example of Johnson's machine building propensities. This payroll for engineers and draftsmen alone amounts to $43,020 per month, or over half a million dollars a year. A half-million dollars per year makes a mighty big hole in the amount of money left for doing the actual work of grading and bituminizing. On the other hand, it puts another big payroll in the hands of Governor Johnson, to use as a club in re-electing himself to office. These men on the state highway payroll want to hold their jobs, and they will make those of American coastwise vessels passing through the Panama canal, and while such great democrats as Speaker Clark, Oscar Underwood and others stood loyally by the democratic declaration of principles, Mr. Kettner, under the lash of President Wilson, who repudiated his campaign pledges and the democratic platform regarding free tolls to American coastwise vessels, voted in favor of the Wilson bill repealing free tolls, and placing American coastwise vessels upon a parity with ships of foreign nations engaged in overseas commerce. This was a grievous blow to the interests of California, as wicked and diabolical as the thrust the envious Casca made. Oh shame, be it said, that a California congressman should have so far forgotten the interests of his people at home, and so shamelessly have repudiated the solemn word of honor given by the party which elected him! Mr. Kettner left Washington before a vote could be taken upon President Wilson's "war tax" measure, which imposes onerous burdens upon the American people in "war taxes" during a period of profound peace. This is the first time in the history of the nation that war taxes have been wrung from the people when we are at peace with the nations of the whole world. Mr. Kettner sidestepped this great issue, but he is pilloried in the estimation of the people because he has previously consistently supported the democratic administration which stands for this infamous measure. Mr. Kettner was here yesterday, making his "whirlwind canvass." Voters who two years ago supported him now finds arrayed in solid phalanx against him. Citrus men, sugar growers, walnut growers, bean farmers and other citizens will have none of him, for they feel that he has forsaken them as congressman and has done more to injure these great industries in which hundreds of millions of dollars of invested capital are vitally interested than any other man who has ever represented us at the national capital. Mr. Kettner will experience another whirlwind next Tuesday. He has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. JACK AND JOE AND JIM Jack and Joe and Jim are three winners in this campaign. They are entitled to support of all good men and men alone amounts to $43,020 per month, or over half a million dollars a year. A half-million dollars per year makes a mighty big hole in the amount of money left for doing the actual work of grading and bituminizing. On the other hand, it puts another big payroll in the hands of Governor Johnson, to use as a club in re-electing himself to office. These men on the state highway payroll want to hold their jobs, and they will make those jobs as long-drawn out as possible, and remain in office as long as this department were busily engaged in putting up banners and display literature, and in other ways taking care of advertising throughout the state for the third party candidate. “This kind of assistance, for which the people paid out of their own taxes, enabled Hiram Johnson to report his total cost of primary campaign expenses at $434.25. The kind of a campaign that he conducted is estimated by those competent to make an estimate, to have cost approximately $25,000. But it is very apparent that with 20 state commissioners working for him as obsequiously as did the state highway commission, with its corps of 181 engineers, the harbor commission, with its enormously increased payroll of 1600 employees; the railroad commission, whose expenses are in the neighborhood of a quarter of a million dollars per year, and all the other boards and commissions that have been created under the Johnson machine, that the actual personal cost to Johnson would be very small, relatively speaking, though no one, even in his own camp, would be so foolish as to estimate the cost of his campaign at $434.24. His gasoline bill would amount to that much.” Well, at any rate, he has built a beautiful machine, even if he has stinted us a little on highways. And just think, too, what a lot of fellows have jobs! At the previous carnival in Anaheim an Olinda girl, Miss Monica McGee, defeated all the local young ladies and carried off the honor. When Miss Campbell from that town was entered in the race early in this contest it was at once recognized that she was a dangerous rival of the Anaheim girls and would unquestionably win of the local vote was divided among so many candidates, consequently the contest began to narrow down. Miss Campbell’s friends made a heroic struggle, but the odds were against them. YORBA LINDANS BURN THE BONDS $175,000 of Cancelled Indebtedness, Goes up in Smoke. The bond burning celebration was carried out here Saturday as per arrangement in full; and was in every way a great success. Several hundred citizens, property owners and friends of Yorba Linda gathered from various parts of Southern California to witness the unique event. A generous luncheon was served freely at the Yorba Linda school house from 12 to 1:30 o’clock, after which the Orange band rendered appropriate selections during the entire afternoon alternating with other numbers of the program. Chairman Thomas B. Welch of the Yorb Linda Water Users’ Association presided, calling first upon Senator William J. Carr of Los Angeles for an address, which was given and highly appreciated by his many warm friends. Mr. W. A. Barnhill, one of the attorneys who represented the promoters of the tract, also gave a splendid address from the standpoint of the defeated side. He was as always very frank and spoke in true effectual terms of the actual facts at the present time, and he was thoroughly enjoyed. Judge W. H.

He was more eloquent and entertaining than usual and held the attentive audience for over an hour in the consideration of the important facts, pleasantries, and memories of the case recently held in his court. The band music interspersed throughout the program was most enjoyable. The long-looked-for "bond fire" was the closing number on the list, and commemorated the destruction of the bonds and the victory of the citizens of Yorba Linda in their fight. Under the stipulated decree of the judge $175,000 in bonds issued by the Yorba Linda Water Company to the promoters were canceled and given over to the land owners, who sent them up in smoke. JEROME HAD BIG VOTE IN PLACES WHERE HE LIVED To the Voters:—Among the offices upon which you are to vote next Tuesday is that of county auditor, and since I am a candidate for that office, I desire to remind you of that fact. I went before the people inviting all of those who did not know me to make inquiry concerning me in any of the places where I have lived. Tustin, San Joaquin, El Toro or Santa Ana. Where I live and have lived and am best known I received large pluralities. In San Joaquin precinct, where I lived many years, the vote was six to one in my favor against my leading opponent in the primaries. He was not much of an orator but was strong on vituperative and abusive expletives. He was a public speaker, presumably a dry, and he spoke from an automobile at the corner of Hermine and Center streets on Monday night. He came here with a chip on his shoulder, and dared anybody to knock it off. His name is unknown to this deponent, but his brogue indicated that he came from Ireland, in fact he so stated several times in the course of his remarks. He grew so abusive about the police of Anaheim that one of the force finally informed him that the peace officers of this town knew their duty and there was a place just across the street where they incarcerated men who grew too obserperous. He believed he was invading the enemy's country, and he came prepared to fight. In fact he was so anxious for battle that he started innumerable disputes himself and the officers had their hands full keeping insulted and indignant citizens from slapping his insolent mouth. The P. T. A. of Loara school will hold a cooked food sale at Heyling's grocery store, Saturday the 31st. Sale will begin at 11 a.m. Come and get something for your Sunday dinner. C. A. Bosworth, who has been assisting in the arrangement of the carnival during the past month, left yesterday for Brawley. I am a candidate for that office, I desire to remind you of that fact. I went before the people inviting all of those who did not know me to make inquiry concerning me in any of the places where I have lived. Tustin, San Joaquin, El Toro or Santa Ana. Where I live and have lived and am best known I received large pluralities. In San Joaquin precinct, where I lived many years, the vote was six to one in my favor against my leading opponent in the primaries. In fairness to myself I mention this. I feel that most of those people know me personally and that they would not have voted for me so strongly had they not known that I will give satisfaction as a public official. To those who gave me their support and votes at the primaries—and I know of none who have failed to continue their support—I wish again to extend my sincere thanks. To all those who will vote for me on Nov. 3 let me say that I shall appreciate those votes greatly. Yours sincerely, —adv. WM. C. JEROME. Miss Aline Adams entertained her Sunday school class on Friday evening when twenty girls and boys of the Presbyterian Sunday school gathered at the new home of E. H. Adams on Claudina street, where a merry evening was spent with music and games. Red geraniums and red crepe tissue paper formed appropriate decorations in the living and dining rooms. Refreshments of hot chocolate and cake were served during the evening. The night school at the Anaheim high school opened Monday night with an enrollment of one hundred. This will probably be increased during the term. Pupils can take up commercial work, shorthand and other useful branches and it is predicted that the night school will become popular.
