OUR VOTE FOR CONGRESSMAN At the general election in 1912 the vote for congressman in the eleventh district was 58,149. Two years later it was 88,447. The light vote in 1912 was due to the fact that the progressive government at Sacramento had sponged the republican party from the ballot, thereby compelling republicans to refrain from voting or to swallow their wrath and vote for a progressive who had assisted in disfranchising them, for a democrat whose principles were opposed to theirs on every question of national importance, or for a socialist or prohibitionist. The majority of them refused to vote, and of the few who did practically all cast their ballots for William Kettner, the democrat. Mr. Kettner was elected over S. C. Evans, progressive, by a plurality of 3392. Following is the vote by counties for the two candidates: Evans Kettner San Bernardino ...5294 4541 Mono ...189 93 Inyo ...465 694 Riverside ...5649 2158 Orange ...4443 3320 San Diego ...4426 12759 Imperial ...980 1257 Total ...21,426 24,822 Nobel A. Richardson, socialist, re- with the other counties of this district more or less divided upon candidates San Diego seems to be in a position to carry out its plans for naming our next representative. Still we believe republicans of this county, with those of Riverside and San Bernardino, look with no little disfavor upon this sort of bludgeon politics. UNJUST REPRESENTATION In last year's congressional election the three Southern California districts polled 295,356 votes or an average of 98,000 per district. In the counties of the state north of Los Angeles, eight congressional districts polled 585,080 votes, an average of 70,000 to the district. This seems to us like hogging the bacon in politics. The three Southern California districts polled nearly 50 per cent more votes than the northern districts, and the 10th district polled more votes than the two San Francisco districts. We shall look for better treatment at the hands of the legislature following the next federal census. Southern California will gain one congressman, and perhaps two. The vote in the eleven congressional districts for members of the house of representatives was as follows: First District ...74,433 Second District ...50,391 Third District ...77,701 Fourth District ...59,424 Fifth District ...64,666 Sixth District ...81,434 Seventh District ...78,885 Eighth District ...74,370 Ninth District ...90,939 Tenth District ...114,940 Eleventh District ...89,477 By these figures it will be seen that the three Southern districts cast a vote equal to four of the average northern districts, with four thousand If the American foreign producer secured that free trade policy and that time the American command of the Hence, the Americans not give up his life the foreigner makesments that would be ply our markets full tail our expense, or economically, maintain take advantage of the forded by foreign w ANAHEIM WINS FIRST Defeats Huntington Night by a D The first of the be played in the South League was pulled pool room Tuesday shelm and Hunting suited in a victory 267 pins.

Richardson, socialist, received 7059 votes, and Helen M. Stoddard, prohibitionist, 4842. In the primary election in 1914 Kettner received 10,497 democratic, 2 republican and 877 progressive votes. James C. Needham polled 17,127 republican, 34 democratic and 148 progressive votes. The vote in the seven counties of the district was: Kettner Dem. Rep. Pro. San Bernardino 1707 38 104 Mono 78 Inyo 397 11 9 Riverside 1081 8 44 Orange 1506 8 11 San Diego 4846 2011 644 Imperial 882 48 66 Total 10497 2130 878 Needham Rep. Dem. Pro.

His vote in San Diego was 22,063, practically double the number of democratic votes he received in the entire district at the primary election. These figures are convincing evidence that Mr. Kettner owes his election to congress in 1912 to the disfranchisement of the 25,000 republicans of the district, and his second Third District ...77,701 Fourth District ...59,424 Fifth District ...64,666 Sixth District ...81,434 Seventh District ...78,885 Eighth District ...74,370 Ninth District ...90,939 Tenth District ...114,940 Eleventh District ...89,477 By these figures it will be seen that the three Southern districts cast a vote equal to four of the average northern districts, with four thousand votes to spare. Owing to the rapid increase in our population the discrepancy will be even greater at the election next fall. By the time the decennial re-adjustment of congressional districts is made in 1920 the south will be entitled to at least two more congressmen, and it is up to the southern counties to see to it that they are not gerrymandered out of a just proportion of representatives. PROTECTION VICTORY IN HITHER-TO FREE TRADE CONGRESS DISTRICT By far the most significant event in the election of November 2, so far as its bearing on next year's contest is concerned, is the victory of William S. Bennet in the 23rd congressional district of New York. Heretofore this district has elected a free trader to congress. This year, at a special election to fill a vacancy caused by death, a staunch and stalwart protectionist triumphs over his free trade opponent by a plurality of about 1000. In 1914 the free trade nominee received a plurality of 6,222. A year ago the anti-free trade forces were divided. This year they were united against the common enemy. It was a fair, stand up fight, a decisive test of strength. Mr. Bennet's campaign was waged almost exclusively on the tariff issue. Although it is an off year as regards national issues, the vigorous convass in the 23rd district brought out a large vote. The appeal based on the bad record of the free trade congress undoubtedly decided the result. In the largest congressional district in the United States the verdict is against Woodrow Wilson, the free trade party and the free trade tariff law. This affords clear proof that when the enemies of free trade work in harmony for the return of protection they can carry all before them.

His vote in San Diego was 22,063, practically double the number of democratic votes he received in the entire district at the primary election. These figures are convincing evidence that Mr. Kettner owes his election to congress in 1912 to the disfranchisement of the 25,000 republicans of the district, and his second victory was due to the progressives who, having no candidate of their own, threw the bulk of their vote to him. It is probable that Mr. Kettner was influenced in his recent decision not to again be a candidate by the knowledge that the progressive party has disintegrated during the past two years, and has ceased to be an important factor in politics. He has been elected twice in a strong republican district, and his victory, both times, was due to extraordinary conditions. Moreover democratic congressmen who stand for re-election next fall will have a strenuous time explaining to their constituents why the good times they promised on the hustings in the previous campaign have failed to materialize. James C. Needham has been mentioned in various quarters as a possible candidate for congress on the republican ticket again, but his overwhelming defeat at the last election will probably eliminate him as a possibility. There is plenty of good material in the district, and it is not necessary for the republican party to take up a man with any sort of a handicap. We feel that an Orange county republican should be nominated for congress next year, but we are mindful of the fact that San Diego county seems to insist upon nominating the candidate. The people of San Diego have a faculty of standing together unitedly in support of their man, and based on the bad record of the free trade congress undoubtedly decided the result. In the largest congressional district in the United States the verdict is against Woodrow Wilson, the free trade party and the free trade tariff law. This affords clear proof that when the enemies of free trade work in harmony for the return of protection they can carry all before them.

Bridal Gifts—and for the wise early Xmas our stock has truly attractiveness in quality, comfort and Price. Theodore Roberts Jeweler - Matrymaker At the Sign of the Big Clock ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, NOV. 18 If the American producer and the foreign producer should both be assured that free trade would be the permanent policy of the United States, one of two things would happen—either the American workman would come very close to the foreign standard of wages and living, or he would cease to produce articles which can be produced by foreigners. Fortunately, both Americans and foreigners know that free trade is only a temporary policy and that within a very short time the American people will resume command of their own markets. Hence, the American producer does not give up his industries nor does the foreigner make the large investments that would be necessary to supply our markets fully. We merely curtail our expense, cut out luxuries, live economically, maintain bread lines and take advantage of the partial relief afforded by foreign war. ANAHEIM WINS THE FIRST BOWLING GAME Defeats Huntington Beach Tuesday Night by a Decisive Score The first of the series of games to be played in the South Coast Bowling League was pulled off at the Club pool room Tuesday night between Anaheim and Huntington Beach, and resulted in a victory for the locals by 267 pins.

Claudina BURGLARS INTERRUPTED BY LADY OF THE HOUSE Mrs. Clifford Ulrich Surprises Mexicans in Act-of-Carrying Off Her Valuables Mrs. Clifford Ulrich was somewhat surprised on returning to her home at 286 South Olive street at 7 o'clock Friday evening to find two Mexicans in the house who were collecting all the portable articles in the house preparatory to carting them away. The thieves hastily made their get-away through a bathroom window, but Ed Eberle, who chanced to be in the neighborhood, saw them and gave chase. Ed proved to be a good sprinter, and after a long and exciting run he overhauled one of the fleeing thieves, and captured him. The man gave his name to the officers as Dave Gusterrez of Santa Ana, and stated that his companion's name was Manuel Hernandez, also of Santa farm animals, or a residence property in a town or city, no matter how valuable. This exemption of course does not include a mortgage. BROTHERHOOD OF YEOMEN GIVE FANCY BALL Twenty-Five Members From Pomona Help to Pass Enjoyable Evening An interesting social event was the masquerade ball given by Anaheim Homestead, Brotherhood of American Yeomen at their hall in the Odd Fellows building Monday night. 130 persons were in attendance and 60 couples on the floor. Twenty-five members of the lodge from Pomona were present. The dancers were all dressed in fancy costumes, some of them being unique and picturesque. Prizes were given for the best costumes. Miss Schultz of Anaheim, won the ladies' first prize, appearing as Little Red Riding Hood, the second going to Mrs. Fred Weber of Pomona, who impersonated a harem girl. The first prize was a rug, the second a hand bag. William Leslie easily captured the first gentleman's prize, a collar bag, in his costume as a "rube," and Wade Carter of Pomona, in his costume as a Yama Yama man, won the second, a tie clasp. Schmidt's orchestra furnished music for the occasion. Supper was one of the events of the evening which was served after the prizes had been awarded. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Witman received word Monday evening that Frederick Schwan, father of Mrs. Witman, had died suddenly at his home in Pomona of apoplexy. They left immediately for that city and found that his death occurred at 8 o'clock, after an illness of but a few minutes. He returned from his office at 5 o'clock in his usual health, but after lay down on BEET CO. LEASES 3000 ACRES AT CORONA That the Corona section of Riverside county is fast coming into its own as a beet raising section is evidenced by the fact that the American Beet Sugar company of Chino, has just completed arrangements with W. J. Hole, owner of thousands of acres of valuable agricultural land near Corona, for the lease of 300 acres just east of the city in the La Sierra Heights district. This vast acreage is to be planted to sugar beets. At present a large force of men has been put to work getting 600 acres in shape for spring planting. Then the work will be centered on getting the remaining 2400 acres under cultivation for 1917. The Pacific Telephone company will shortly have a force of men at work putting all the wires in the ornamental lighting district under ground. A resolution was adopted by the city trustees some weeks ago ordering this work to be done within 90 days. Supt. Lynch of the telephone company, who was present at the meeting, stated that his company would be at work long before the expiration of that period. It will cost the company close to $20,000. C. O. Rust and wife were visiting in Los Angeles Tuesday. Miss Mattie Stewart of Santa Ana, was visiting Monday with I. N. Camp and family. OIL WELL NOTES Mrs. Harry Felling, Miss Hazel Kenney, and Miss Nina McLellan visited friends in Los Angeles Tuesday. A. B. Jenks of the Murphy lease, left Tuesday for his home in Berkeley. He expects to return after the holidays. Dolly Gray left Tuesday on a week's vacation, expecting to spend the time on the beach. The other day Ralph Winger, the courtly tool pusher of the Emery lease, got up very early in the morning—before sun-up in fact—to go gunning. His usual luck attended him—that is, he got no birds. Usually he has a good excuse; the birds are flying too high, or being scarce; or the weather too stormy; but this time he failed to observe that he was shooting blank shells. Our compliments to Mr. Winger on his excellent marksmanship, and we suggest that he use shell with shot in them, especially when going after such ferocious animals as snippe. Rig No. 22 on the Murphy Coyote lease is being erected. Emery No. 25 is also being rigged up. Al Longstaff of the Murphy lease, returned from a visit to San Francisco this week. THE WOMAN IN KANSAS Kansas is renowned throughout the United States for the number of freak laws that get onto her statute books, but the women of that commonwealth have more privileges than of any other state in the Union. For instance the Kansas woman: Can take back her malden name thieves hastily made their get-away through a bathroom window, but Ed Eberle, who chanced to be in the neighborhood, saw them and gave chase, Ed proved to be a good sprinter, and after a long and exciting run he overhauled one of the fleeing thieves, and captured him. The man gave his name to the officers as Dave Gusterrez of Santa Ana, and stated that his companion's name was Manuel Hernandez, also of Santa Ana. He claimed only a slight acquaintance with Hernandez and declared he was forced by threats of violence to assist him in the burglary. He was arraigned before Judge Howard and remanded to the county jail to await his preliminary hearing. Hernandez has not yet been apprehended. Garden Seeds. Only the best at H. H. Gardner Co., 114 N.

IRVINE RANCH MAN ASSAULTED BY THUGS Ed Pancost, who works on the Irvine ranch, came to town a few days ago to hire a few Mexicans. He succeeded in signing up four Monday afternoon, and then proceeded to blind the bargain by buying a few drinks for them. Pancost took one or two more than was good for him, and in the evening his new-made friends led him down to the Southern Pacific tracks and left him in a walnut grove. After they left two other Mexicans appeared, and without ceremony proceeded to beat him up and rifle his pockets. Pancost recovered consciousness the next morning and found that he had been touched for $180. He made his way to the Mann apartments where he had a room, and told his story. He declares he can identify the two men who assaulted and robbed him. He was not seriously injured, although his face was considerably battered, one eyebrow being knocked off. He left Tuesday evening for Los Angeles.
