The endorsement of President Wilson for renomination by the Kentucky democratic state convention, the Cook county democracy and other democratic bodies is supererogatory. The country is not under the slightest delusion as to who the next democratic nominee for president will be. Mr. Wilson will not be renominated by overwhelming public sentiment, as a zealous democratic organ suggests, but he will be renominated by default. There's nothing else the democratic party can do. Mr. Wilson is the party. Efforts of democratic politicians to capitalize President Wilson's foreign policy and to disregard his domestic policy are not only disingenuous, but disreputable. Republican newspapers have been quite as active as democratic journals in supporting the president in his ambition to avert a breach with Germany, and it would be manifestly unjust to turn this acclaim to political account and to assume that because patriotism desires to keep out of the war that general support of the president should be accepted as the country's verdict that he should be reelected. Mr. Wilson's foreign policy has been masterly only in its opposition to jingoism and its bulldog determination to keep the United States out of war. However, it has not been either constructive or protective. The president's peace policy has followed the obvious course of public sentiment, and there is no compelling reason why seeing in it a campaign to destroy the usefulness of a party that he attempted to help form in California. We have on our desk a copy of an editorial printed in the Imperial Valley Press, a paper that is intensely loyal to Governor Johnson and progressive principles, but which does not believe the new law is right. Editor Howe says: "The Press is a believer in Governor Johnson, accepting him as the greatest political leader in the history of California, and this journal has tried to arrive at a conviction that the governor is right in his advocacy of non-partisan state elections. It regrets that it has been unable to do so. The theory of democratic government is that citizens will form themselves into parties according to their beliefs regarding public issues that may arise and that these parties will stand sponsor for the character of their respective nominees. "Governor Johnson has done a magnificent work for the state in securing the direct primary, through which members of the several parties can select their nominees. "He has given the state still further advantage in making local elections non-partisan. "But the city or the county is small enough to permit the voters to act with considerable wisdom in the selection of candidates regardless of party, whereas, the state is so great that the voters cannot discriminate between men with wisdom, and some organization will arise, if the political party is wiped out, to initiate systematic selection of candidates. "Even with party orgainzations, we have the record of those wholly different bodies, Tammany Hall in New York and the Lincoln-Roosevelt league in California, performing the function of initiating nominations, and to wipe out parties would be to insist on the prevalence of such bodies. "Compared with political parties, ASSEMBLYMAN COUNTY STRONG TO NON-PARTIAN GOV. JOHNSON PONENTS AND GUMENT IN MEANING The Gazette is a lowing communicator Cary of Fresno to the attitude of non-partisan bill people of the state. He hear from Mr. Cary know that the effect defeat of the non-bearing fruit in the We shall continue this iniquitious may be decisively erendum election Cary's letter is as Fresno. Editor Gazette, Anaheim, Calif. I want to express of the telling blows against the non-partisan We, in Fresno, having waiting for action State Committee I have organized a P commenced the bor est. I enclose some o League is sending use any of it would Mr. Wilson's foreign policy has been masterly only in its opposition to jingoism and its bulldog determination to keep the United States out of war. However, it has not been either constructive or protective. The president's peace policy has followed the obvious course of public sentiment, and there is no compelling reason why the executive head of a country whose state of unpreparedness is notorious throughout the civilized world should be reelected just because he refuses to fight. This is not our war, and no attempt has been made to invade our territory. Although Mr. Wilson's task has been an arduous and at times a critical one, he has not been called upon to take any affirmative action. His service to the country has consisted more in what he hasn't done than in what he has done, and were it not for such folls as Roosevelt and Bryan he would not be entitled to extraordinary credit for his accomplishments. No presidential campaign in this country has been won on a negative platform. Mr. Wilson will be renominated, but such issues as the full dinner pall, general employment and the protection of American labor cannot be sidetracked. A NEW STATE RECORD California's progressive administration has established another new state record. It has boosted the cost of the state government until it is now the highest in the United States. For three years we have been running a close second to Nevada; but the figures just given out by the state controller show that we are now leading the field by at least three laps and still gaining. For the fiscal year ending July 1, 1915, the total cost of the state government, exclusive of transfers—the amount of warrants actually cashed by the state treasurer—was $36,529,593.04. This is an increase of almost $8,000,000 over 1914, which held the high record up to that time. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, the last under republican rule, the gross expense of the state government was $18,573,720. As our state population is less than 3,000,000, this makes the average cost between men with wisdom, and some organization will arise, if the political party is wiped out, to initiate systematic selection of candidates. "Even with party organizations, we have the record of those wholly different bodies, Tammany Hall in New York and the Lincoln-Roosevelt league in California, performing the function of initiating nominations, and to wipe out parties would be to insist on the prevalence of such bodies. "Compared with political parties, these organizations are irresponsible. That is, while the laws recognize parties as factors in government, they do not and cannot recognize the Tammany Halls and leagues. "The Lincoln Roosevelt league gave us Governor Johnson, and California will ever be grateful for that act, but Tammany Hall has given New York hundreds of candidates for whom no honest man has ever been grateful. "In theory the party is sponsor for the respectability of its candidates. We have learned that this theory does not always work out properly, which is also true of the irresponsible organizations of the nature which surely would prevail more than ever with the destruction of the parties. "Humanity demonstrates its weakness in all organizations, but the Press is convinced that with all its weakness the responsible party is to be preferred to the irresponsible organization. "It might be that just at this time, with a group of men led by Governor Johnson and known for their integrity and ability a non-partisan state election would work out well. But Governor Johnson's non-partisan project of necessity contemplates permanency in its introduction of a revolution in election procedure, and history furnishes no warrant for the hope that the era of the reformer will be of a permanent duration. "We may trust that California will not fall into the hands of the reactionaries, but we can scarcely hope for it to continue to advance steadily toward the ideal as it has in the last two years. "The two illustrations are particularly apropos. It shows to what opposite ends and extremes political organizations not on a party basis will go. Tammany is the legitimate outcome."

For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, the last under republican rule, the gross expense of the state government was $18,573,720. As our state population is less than 3,000,000, this makes the average cost per capita of the state government a little more than $12 a head. The average in the United States is less than $4 a head. That of Nevada, which is second, is less than $9 a head. GOVERNOR'S SUPPORTER OPPOSES NON-PARTISAN BILL There are quite a number of the prominent progressives of California who do not believe in the so-called non-partisan law and the abolishment of political parties as far as state offices are concerned. They do not believe that it is consistent for them to oppose party organization within so short a time after attempting to form a party in this state, in the campaign for which they strongly advocated party government. Fearless men of the party realize that the form of organization that will exist in the sate government will be less desirable than the attempt to stay in the game as a political party, fighting for the principles the party was organized to represent. Among the prominent progressives who take this view are George C. Pardee, former governor and one of the original progressive republicans in California. Francis J. Heney, candidate for United States senator last year on the progressive ticket, is opposed to the movement, A conference is to be held at Los Angeles today between leaders of the republican, democratic, progressive, socialist and prohibition parties for the purpose of mapping out a campaign against Gov. Johnson's party-destroying measure. It is proposed to organize in the assembly districts, each party selecting a man and a woman to work in each district and to handle the precinct work. The list of workers of each party will be selected today, if it is possible to arrange the work by that time. It is proposed to name a male and a female captain who will be empowered to select other members of their party to assist them in making an active canvass of the assembly district assigned to them.

JOHNSON BELITTLING OPPONENTS AND USING NO ARGUMENT IN SUPPORT OF MEASURE The Gazette is in receipt of the following communication from Assemblyman Cary of Fresno county, referring to the attitude of this paper on the non-partisan bill now before the people of the state. We are pleased to hear from Mr. Cary and are glad to know that the efforts of this paper to defeat the non-partisan bill are bearing fruit in the northern county. We shall continue our fight against this iniquitous measure, and hope it may be decisively defeated at the referendum election on the 26th. Mr. Cary's letter is as follows: Fresno, Cal., Oct. 4, 1915. Editor Gazette, Anaheim, California. I want to express my appreciation of the telling blows you are delivering against the non-partisan measures. We, in Fresno, having grown tired of waiting for action on the part of the State Committee at San Francisco, have organized a Partisan League and commenced the bombardment in earnest. I enclose some of the literature our League is sending out. If you can use any of it would be glad to have And, granting that a governor can only be selected on merit under the non-partisan system what good is to come to the people? That is what we ask? Where is anything gained, even concealing the merit argument, when we continue to elect a governor who has no constructive power, a general manager who can not be held responsible? Where is this efficient government in such a system? In this seeking of governmental efficiency why is it that the governor aims at a mere election system and not at the real faults of our government? Why is it that he appeals to your "patriotism" instead of your common sense, if there is merit in his premises? Why does he seek to make votes on the low plane of personal attack instead of standing out squarely for what he asks us to swallow and argue the question on its merits and not on the grounds of the character of the opposition? Why does Governor Johnson resort to cheap political palaver for the sake of gaining votes? There is no answer. Non-partisanship means something the governor wants. He wants to grease the skids for the progressive party and at the same time retain an organization that he can use in politics for his own future welfare. Non-partisanship is not a move for better government. It is a move for the perpetuation of the Johnson machine; and the speech that Johnson made in Oakland last week is the best possible proof of this statement. JUBILEE QUARTET AT H. S. AUDITORIUM First of Series Will be Given Tuesday Evening, October 12 The first of the series of entertainments to be given at the high school auditorium during the present term is announced for Tuesday evening, Oct. 12.

J. DUBBEL IN AN AUTO WRECK Collides With a Heavy Stage and Receives Severe Injuries* Father F. J. Dubbel, pastor of St. Boniface church, was one of the victims in an automobile smashup at Los Angeles Wednesday night of last week in which seven people were injured, but fortunately none of them seriously. The accident happened on Stephenson avenue near the southern city limits at the hour of midnight. Father Dubbel had a couple of clerical friends visiting him during the day, and had driven them to Los Angeles in his automobile in the evening. It was late in the night when he started home, and when nearing the city limits his machine collided with a heavy auto stage from San Diego, loaded with passengers. Both machines were traveling at a normal speed. Father Dubbel's car was wrecked and turned over on top of him. The stage was also badly damaged. An investigation disclosed the fact that six persons on the stage were more or less injured, but none of them seriously. Father Dubbel was punished from beneath his car, and although no bones were broken he was suffering from internal injuries. All the injured were taken to the emergency hospital where their wounds were dressed. Father Dubbel came to his home later and has since been confined to his zoom, but was reported yesterday to be rapidly recovering. Local Notes C. B. Berger went up to San Luis Obispo Thursday on a business trip. I want to express my appreciation of the telling blows you are delivering against the non-partisan measures. We, in Fresno, having grown tired of waiting for action on the part of the State Committee at San Francisco, have organized a Partisan League and commenced the bombardment in earnest. I enclose some of the literature our League is sending out. If you can use any of it would be glad to have you do so. Sincerely yours, L. B. CARY. Among the many strong arguments which Mr. Cary forwards against the non-partisan bill is the recent reference to Gov. Johnson's recent speech in Oakland: In a speech that alternately villified his opponents and pleaded for non-partisan support on the ground of patriotism, and which contained too little of argument, Governor Johnson opened his campaign for the bill which is now the subject of a referendum. A very noticeable feature of the governor's speech was the total lack of any argumentative matter on the main issue of this attempt to extend non-partisanship to state offices. For instance, Governor Johnson did not tell us how this plain is to bring better government except that candidates for office must stand on their merits alone. If this is to be sufficient from the proponents of this bill, they must be counting a very great deal either on the apathy of the people regarding special elections, or that they will be ignorant of the dangers of non-partisanship. The governor told us the non-partisanship system which already exists is extended but little, but he forgot to tell us that this "little" means on all state offices, and he forgot to mention that there is a difference between a candidate running for office in his own city or county, where he is generally known, and a candidate seeking suffrage throughout the state, where he is not known and where only the most thorough sort of a campaign can make him known. The governor also told us that the cost of running for office will be less because in many cases the candidate would be elected in the primary and thus would not have to stand at the general election, but the governor did not tell us that the heaviest expense comes in the primary campaign, in the campaign for the nomination, and that with party organization the burden in the campaign in the general election is taken from the individual and placed upon the organization. The governor told us the candidate, under the proposed non-partisan system, "must stand on his merits." But does the governor intimate the candidate under the present system does not stand on his merits? Does she The first of the series of entertainments to be given at the high school auditorium during the present term is announced for Tuesday evening, Oct. 12. The Eastern Jubilee Quartet has been secured for the opening of the lyceum course. They will render plantation melodies, popular songs, vocal solos, piano solos, duets, jubilee songs, violin solos, trios, etc. Also dialect readings from the works of Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the negro poet. It is hardly necessary to say this will be a high class entertainment, as nothing but the best can break into this lyceum course. Tickets will be on sale at Mullinix's drug store after 8 a.m. tomorrow. Price of tickets is $1 for the five events, $1.50 for reserved seats. BAD ROADS ARE NO OBSTACLE J. W. Monroe, Pasadena Dodge dealer, says that the fame of the Dodge car as a hill climber is spreading far and wide, and stories of its wonderful work in the mountains are coming in thick and fast. The following account of how the Dodge touring car conquered what is called the Tug-of-War hill and Crawford notch, which is the hardest climb in New England, is the latest: To prove its power and reliability, a Dodge car made the trip from Boston to Bretton woods and return on the high gear last week. The Dodge left Boston in a dense fog and went by way of Crawford Notch. The gears, with tue exception of high and reverse, were chiseled off, so there was no alternative but to climb or turn back. Going by the way of Crawford Notch is the hardest climb in New England, for there is a tough grade there called Tug-of-War hill, that has made many a driver call for a tow in the past. But the Dodge went up all right and continued down the valley, doing the 360.2 miles in 12 hours and 48 minutes, or at an average speed of 28.1 miles per hour, though no attempt was made to speed the car for a record. The gasoline average was 15.74 miles per gallon. A Mexican named Cortez, who was bitten three times in a fight with another Mexican at Fullerton over a week ago is in bad shape at the County Hospital. Cortez had the end of his nose bitten off and a hole as big as a dollar was nipped from his forehead. His thumb got into the other fellow's mouth and a wound was inflicted that may result in the loss of man's hand. Cortez did not go to the hospital until the day after he was injured. The wounds on the nose hospital where their wounds were dressed. Father Dubbel came to his home later and has since been confined to his room, but was reported yesterday to be rapidly recovering.

Hartung and wife have returned from an outing of two or three weeks in Bear Valley. Edgar is again on duty at the First National bank. The State Sunday School convention will be held at Santa Ana on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 12, 13, and 14. Noted speakers have been engaged and an interesting meeting is anticipated. John Rigler and wife of Wasco, Kern county, are visiting old friends in this city. They left Anaheim five years ago and this is their first visit since Mr. Rigler is greatly astonished at the changes that have taken place during the past five years. He reads the Anahelm papers, but declares that they have not told half the story of the wonderful improvements. J. S. Sheridan who returned some days ago from South Dakota, harvested a large crop of wheat and rye on his large ranch in that state. He reports a large grain yield throughout the northwest, and says corn promises an abundant yield, if weather conditions continue favorable. Mr Sheridan The governor told us that non-partisan will not give one citizen the advantage of a traditional appellation nor attach to another prejudice accruing to a party which has few adherents, but why did he not go further and give us his real thoughts? He forgot to tell us that a chief reason for this non-partisan attempt, and especially the reason why it is being staged this year, is to save the progressive party from a natural death and to take away from any possible opponent the benefit of an organization such as the governor has now and such as he will have next year. The governor declared efficiency in government is the end sought, but he did not tell us why he aims at the election system itself and not at the weak spots of our government, the fundamentals, so to speak. We refer now to the total lack of power in our manager (the governor), and other governmental deficiencies. The governor does not tell us why he chose non-partisan instead of the short ballot in this pursuit of efficient government, when he knows very well the short ballot supplies the very thing he declares he is after. State Senator John N. Anderson has resigned his seat in the upper house. His resignation has been accepted by Governor Johnson, but it is not probable that a successor will be named by the governor as Anderson's term virtually has expired because the 1916 election will call for the filling of the regular four year term.
