G.O.P. PREPARING FOR ROUSING MEETING OPENING RALLY OF CAMPAIGN TO BE HELD AT OPERA HOUSE MONDAY NIGHT, APRIL 17 NOTED REPUBLICANS FROM LOS ANGELES AND OTHER POINTS ARE AMONG THE SPEAKERS When a call for a republican meeting on Monday evening, April 17, was announced it was expected that it would be merely a baptismal gathering of the newly-enrolled members of the Anaheim Republican club, but the idea has developed, and preparations are under way to make it one of the greatest political rallys ever held in Orange county. President F. C. Krause and Secretary Don L. Parker of the club, J. W. Duckworth, chairman of the county central committee, and other leaders in the party, decided that this would be a fitting opportunity for an opening rally of the campaign upon which we are on delegation to the national convention and send to Chicago men pledged to support a political enemy of the party. That issue will dominate all others until the question is settled on May 2. The wrath of the republicans has been aroused by the brazen and unblushing efforts of the governor to defeat the majority party and send a delegation of his henchmen to help nominate a candidate and make a platform for the party he hates and has endeavored to destroy. SUPERVISORS MAY HALT MEXICAN INVASION Los Angeles Aske Orange County to Join Forces and Prevent the Influx A letter has been received by the board of supervisors from the Los Angeles board asking what steps have been taken to stop the influx of indigent Mexicans into this county. A request was made that this county join Los Angeles in taking action on the matter, as the situation is growing serious. The question was first brought to the attention of the Los Angeles board of supervisors in a communication addressed to that body by one of the strengest was a toss-up meeting Monroe body should give the proposed vote on May advocate the reason for the issue was that ors had ordered where only one unnecessary structured for the neighboring to H. M. Adam of the commit ing of the newly-enrolled members of the Anaheim Republican club, but the idea has developed, and preparations are under way to make it one of the greatest political rallys ever held in Orange county. President F. C. Krause and Secretary Don L. Parker of the club, J. W. Duckworth, chairman of the county central committee, and other leaders in the party, decided that this would be a fitting opportunity for an opening rally of the campaign upon which we are entering, the most important campaign of recent years, upon the result of which the future prosperity of California depends, consequently they have issued invitations to the people of the north, the east and the south of us to come and help us to impress upon the opposition the fact that the republicans this years are filled with enthusiasm, and are entering the campaign with the determination to win. Among those who have declared their intention of attending the meeting are Judge Walter Bordwell, Mrs. Olive C. Cole, Hon. William C. Mushet, Hon. John G. Mott, Hon. Eugene W. Britt, of Los Angeles; Hon. Lewis L. Lostutter of Pomona, Hon. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, and Hon. John Akerman of San Diego. These are all nominees of the republican party for delegates to the republican convention. Other prominent Los Angeles republicans will probably be with them. The party will arrive here at 6 o'clock. A reception committee will meet the visitors at the depot, and, headed by a band, escort them to the Hotel Valencia, where dinner will be served. After dinner a reception will be held, and an invitation is extended to all the people of Anaheim to meet them there. Messrs. Chapman and Akerman will be among the speakers. These gentlemen with Judge Bordwell and other candidates who will probably speak, will define the situation between the two sets of candidates appearing on the ballot in the May primary election, and will expose the unholy efforts of the Johnson administration to send a progressive delegation from California to the republican national convention. In addition to these, Assemblyman J. C. Burke and Hon. Walter Eden of Santa Ana, have been engaged to speak. Everybody in Orange county has, probably, heard these gentlemen talk. They are spellbinders and A letter has been received by the board of supervisors from the Los Angeles board asking what steps have been taken to stop the influx of indigent Mexicans into this county. A request was made that this county join Los Angeles in taking action on the matter, as the situation is growing serious. The question was first brought to the attention of the Los Angeles board of supervisors in a communication addressed to that body by one of its members. Richard Norton, in which he called attention of the board to the fact that most of the Mexicans now coming to this section of the country are afflicted with some dreadful disease and that the county has been forced to spend large sums of money in caring for them. Norton suggested that some plan be reached for sending these people back to their own country. He said that most of the patients in the county hospital at the present time are Mexicans and that the Outdoor Relief department has its hands full in caring for this class of people. "They are coming here in hordes," he said. "and something must be done to stop them." The letter will be called to the attention of the supervisors at its next meeting. FRED DEVEREAUX SERIOUSLY INJURED Sustains a Broken Back by Overturning of an Auto Fred Devereaux, Anaheim buyer for the California Vegetable Union, was so seriously injured in an automobile accident last week that he may possibly die. His back was broken, and other injuries were sustained. In company with J. J. Burkhard of the Central garage, he was returning from a business trip at Artesia and when near the Los Alamitos sugar factory the car struck a hole in the road where the highway was torn up for repairs. Both men were thrown out, but Burkhard was only slightly bruised. Devereaux was brought to Anaheim sanitarium, where it was learned his back was broken. He was later moved to the Clara Barton hospital in Los Angeles where his sister-in-law is one of the physicians. H. M.

In addition to these, Assemblyman J. C. Burke and Hon. Walter Eden of Santa Ana, have been engaged to speak. Everybody in Orange county has, probably, heard these gentlemen talk. They are spell-binders, and would entertain the audience without aid from other speakers. Mr. Burke, who was at Sacramento during the extra session, can give an interesting account of the Johnsonian system of a one-man government of the state. Mr. Eden is president of the Santa Ana republican club, and he and Burke will be accompanied by a large delegation from the county seat. The Orange Republican Club, which numbers hundreds, will come over almost in a body. It is expected that 1000 enthusiastic men and women from neighboring towns will be present. The Anaheim City band and the Fullerton band have both been engaged to make music on the streets, while the Anaheim Concordia will entertain the audience with patriotic and appropriate songs. The Concordia is not accustomed to sing at political meetings, but the members have consented to appear and render some of their choicest selections. This will be the opening rally of the campaign in Orange county, and it is expected to be the largest and most enthusiastic political meeting ever held in Anaheim. Until the second of May only one issue is before the people, all others being subordinate to it, and that is, shall Gov. Johnson be permitted to steal from the republicans of California their John Hanna of Miraflores was made a great-great-grandfather on March 26th, when a daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Hall at their ranch home near San Luis Obispo. Mrs. Hall was formerly the beautiful Miss Elleen Cayce who was some years ago May queen at the high school festivities here. Her mother is Mrs. Mae Cox of San Luis Obispo, daughter of Mrs. E. M. Polhemus of Miraflores, herself the eldest daughter of John Hanna. Mr. Hanna is hale and hearty in his eighty-fifth year, and is frequently seen in town driving with his daughter. He was overjoyed at the arrival of the new baby at the Hall home, and has been the recipient of congratulations from his many friends upon his added honors as head of one of the most distinguished families in Orange county. Fritz and Ed Schneider and their wives took in the ball game at Los Angeles Sunday.

The reason for the opposition to the bond issue was that the board of supervisors had ordered two bridges built where only one was needed, and the unnecessary bridge was to be constructed for the purpose of favoring a neighboring town at our expense. H. M. Adams related the experience of the committee that appeared before and endeavor to have an ordinance passed prohibiting autos and motorcycles opening mufflers within a certain zone. Messrs. Mills and Clabaugh thought the ordinance should be extended to include all the city. Mills wanted the city to appoint a motor cop to look after the speedsters and related a hair raising experience of his a few days ago wherein an auto traveling, according to his estimate, eighty miles an hour, grazed the rear end of his buggy. Mr. Beebe stated that he had complained to the district attorney about speedsters, and was told that if there were more passengers in the speedling car than there were in his it would be impossible to convict the driver owing to the preponderance of evidence. F. K. Gresswell, chairman of the exhibit committee, reported that there would be nothing doing with regard to arranging exhibits until the room was suitably furnished. He wanted $250 for this purpose and it was voted him. The merchants' association will pay one-third of this. ANAHEIM BOY HURT AT CORONA RAGE Arthur Willett Struck by Fragment NECK AND NECK RAGE FOR CITY TRUSTEES WILL REQUIRE THE OFFICIAL COUNT TO DETERMINE WHO ARE THE VICTORS CHARLES A. BOEGE IS ELECTED CITY TREASURER BY A DECISIVE MAJORITY According to the figures turned in to City Clerk Merritt Monday night by the various election boards, John H. Cook and William Stark were re-elected on the board of trustees. But there is an acknowledged error in the figures which after they are corrected by the canvassing board next Monday night when the official count is made, will change the complexion of the returns. In precinct No. 10, the Broadway school, the clerk, in footing up the vote, credited J. J. Dwyer with only 42 votes, whereas the tally sheets show that 82 ballots were cast for him. It was merely a clerical error, and when the figure is corrected Dwy- ANAHEIM BOY HURT AT CORONA RACE Arthur Willett Struck by Fragment from Bob Burman's Wrecked Car When Bob Burman's Pugeot car flew the track at the Corona races Saturday, and started on its wild and zigzag trip among the spectators, which resulted in the death of three men and the injury of several others, an Anaheim boy was the first person to suffer injury from it, but fortunately the damage to his person was slight. The boy was Arthur Willets, a high school student, who with hundreds of others from this city, was watching the speed maniacs. Burman was directly abreast of the point where Willets was standing when the tire blew out. The young man was struck by a flying fragment from the car, and received injuries to his arm and side which, though not of a serious nature, necessitates his carrying his arm in a sling. Willets was only a short distance from W. H. Speer, the special policeman, who was struck by the runaway car and instantly killed. The car kept on its way, injuring five other spectators more or less seriously, cut off two telephone poles, and finally turned turtle, killing both Burman and his mechanician, Eric Schroeder. Willets is yell leader for the high school. ENGINEER OLMSTEAD LECTURES TO EBELL Talka on Flood Control by Retarding Dams and Reforestation Responding to an invitation by the Ebell society, Frank H. Olmstead, civil engineer of Los Angeles, gave a lecture last Friday evening in the high school auditorium on retarding dams and re-forestation as relating to flood control. He supplemented his work with elected on the board of trustees. But there is an acknowledged error in the figures which after they are corrected by the canvassing board next Monday night when the official count is made, will change the complexion of the returns. In precinct No. 10, the Broadway school, the clerk, in footing up the vote, credited J. J. Dwyer with only 42 votes, whereas the tally sheets show that 82 ballots were cast for him. It was merely a clerical error, and when the figure is corrected Dwyer will have a total of 664 votes, Stark 640 and Cook 639, provided there are no other changes in the footings of the clerks. But as there may possibly be some other errors, the standing of Stark and Cook may be changed as the difference between them is only one vote. There was no issue before the voters to call for a division. Messrs. Cook and Stark were standing on the record of their official acts during the four years they served as trustees. Their opponents challenged them on the ground that they were too active in making improvements. The Broadway paving recently ordered by the board, created much dissatisfaction on that street where a large percentage of the property owners were opposed to it, and a vigorous effort was made to defeat them by some of the Broadway residents. The close vote between the two indicates that personalities cut little figure in the contest. For treasurer, E. R. Abbey and Charles A. Boege were the contestants. Mr. Boege won with ease, having a majority of 226 over his opponent. E. B. Merritt for city clerk, having no opponent, carried every precinct in the city by a large majority. The proposition to pay the trustees $10 per month for their services was defeated by 98 majority. Following is the vote by precincts: For Trustee Precinct No. 1—Total vote, 131. Cook, 63; Dwyer, 57; Goodrich, 9; Simpson, 42; Stark 67. Precinct No. 2—Total vote, 125. Cook, 67; Dwyer, 50; Goodrich, 24; Simpson, 40; Stark 54. Precinct No. 3—Total vote, 140. Cook, 80; Dwyer, 64; Goodrich, 7; Simpson, 48; Stark 74. Precinct No. 4—Total vote, 169. Cook, 78; Dwyer, 78; Goodrich, 25; Simpson, 58; Stark 88. Precinct No. 5—Total vote, 47. Cook, 24; Dwyer, 16; Goodrich, 13: Talks on Flood Control by Retarding Dams and Reforestation Responding to an invitation by the Ebell society, Frank H. Olmstead, civil engineer of Los Angeles, gave a lecture last Friday evening in the high school auditorium on retarding dams and reforestation as relating to flood control. He supplemented his work with stereopticon views of similar work done in Switzerland, Austria and Japan. In these countries this method of check dams, and reforestation is considered of such importance that it is done by the government. He also told of the results he had achieved in Haynes canyon and expressed the hope that some time in the near future the counties of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino would combine and effectually control the Santa Ana river from its source to its mouth. So while local protection work will have to be done, let us not lose sight of the big idea and make our plans all point to that end. Yorba Linda, the new lemon and orange city of Orange county, is anxiously awaiting government approval of a much needed national bank to take care of the rapidly growing financial interests of that community. An application for a charter for a First National bank has been forwarded to Washington. Immediately upon its acceptance, it is said, work will be commenced upon the construction of an appropriate bank building. From reports from the two new packing houses at Yorba Linda, this year's pick from the young orange and lemon orchards will total nearly 200 cars. To date more than thirty cars have been shipped. For Treasurer Precinct 1—Abbey, 59; Boege, 73 Precinct 2—Abbey, 60; Boege, 62 Precinct 3—Abbey, 74; Boege, 56 Precinct 4—Abbey, 65; Boege, 91 Precinct 5—Abbey, 24; Boege, 19 Precinct 6—Abbey, 38; Boege, 57 Precinct 7—Abbey, 47; Boege, 91 Precinct 8—Abbey, 53; Boege, 62 Precinct 9—Abbey, 52; Boege, 67 Precinct 10—Abbey, 45; Boege, 95 Precinct 11—Abbey, 31; Boege, 91 For Trustees' Salary Precinct 1—Yes, 54; No 50 Precinct 2—Yes, 57; No 51 Precinct 3—Yes, 51; No 50 Precinct 4—Yes, 67; No 61 1916 Number 28 AND NECK FOR CITY STEES RE THE OFFICIAL DETERMINE WHO THE VICTORS BOEGE IS ELECTED SURER BY A DE-MAJORITY the figures turned in Merritt Monday night election boards, John William Stark were reboard of trustees.

According to the sheet prepared by City Clerk Merritt from the figures presented to him by the election clerks, the vote on trustee was as follows: Cook 639; Dwyer 624; Goodrich 132; Simpson 568; Stark 640. For clerk, Merritt 1076. For treasurer, Abbey 526, Boege 752. On the proposition to pay the trustees $10 per month salary, yes 498; no 596. It is understood that forty votes will be added to Dwyer's total when the vote is canvassed on Monday night, which will increase his figure to 664, giving him the lead in the race. There may be other changes in these figures when the official count is made. The heavy vote indicates that much interest was taken in the election, although it was very quiet. Friends of all the candidates were out drumming up indifferent voters, and before the polls closed the city had been pretty well scoured. Only 375 names on the register failed to poll. MAY ORGANIZE A REGIMENT OF SOLDIERS MOVEMENT ON FOOT WHICH MAY GIVE ORANGE COUNTY FOUR COMPANIES OF TROOPS REGIMENT TO BE COMMANDED BY REGULAR ARMY OFFICERS SHOULD IT BE FORMED The spirit of preparedness appears to have invaded Southern California in advance of possible action by Congress. This spirit has moved the people to take initiatory steps toward precautionary measures, and a movement is now on foot for the organization of another regiment of troops. These troops it is supposed are to be organized merely for defense, and not for aggression or conquest. We have no quarrel with anybody at present calling for punitive action on our part, but the presence of an efficient and armed company of soldiers in our midst just at the present time would be a reassurance to the timid CLUB WOMEN MEET AT COUNTY SEAT Orange County Federation to Hold Session on Saturday The fourth annual convention of the Orange County Federation of Women's clubs will be held at the intermediate school building on North Main St., Santa Ana, Saturday, April 15th. A good program has been arranged and in addition the Orange county club women will have an opportunity of meeting Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, who is the California candidate for the presidency of the National Federation of Women's clubs. Mrs. Marie Griffin Bishop will sing the aria from Saint-Saen's "Samson and Delliah," and with her husband, Holmes Bishop of Orange, will give two duets: "Still as the Night," and "The Passage Bird's Farewell." Prof. E. M. Neally will address the meeting on the Gary schools. There will be a discussion on military training in the public schools. At this meeting important changes in the constitution and by-laws are to be considered and the annual election of officers will occur. The meeting is for all day, opening at 10 o'clock. Each visitor is requested to bring her luncheon, the hostess clubs furnishing a hot drink. The duly elected delegates from Anaheim Ebell are: Mrs. Grace R. Ahborn, Mrs. Sydmer Ross, and Mrs. W. M. Gray. Alternates, Mrs. John Reuther, Mrs. G. A. Gifford and Mrs. C. A. Gates. All club women are invited to attend this meeting. THE SENIORS Following is a list of the class of 1916, Anaheim high school: There may be other changes in these figures when the official count is made. The heavy vote indicates that much interest was taken in the election, although it was very quiet. Friends of all the candidates were out drumming up indifferent voters, and before the polls closed the city had been pretty well scoured. Only 375 names on the register failed to poll. Captain Herman Stern, formerly commander of Company E, received a phone message from an army officer who was then at Long Beach a day or two ago, acquainting him with the fast that efforts would probably shortly be made to organize such a regiment, which would be placed under command of a regular army officer. It would be thoroughly drilled and put in shape for action in short order. Should occasion arise. Mr. Stern's knowledge of the details are limited at present, and he is giving out no information until he is better informed himself, but he says the parties in charge of the matter want to organize four companies in this county, one each at Anaheim, Santa Ana, Orange and Fullerton. Under the plan of organization, it is proposed to select the colonel and lieutenant-colonel of the regiment and the first lieutenant of each company from among regular army officers, and so far as possible fill the other commissions with men who have seen army service. It is the plan of those in charge of the movement to get up the auxiliary regiment in this end of the state not to attempt enlistments where enlistments would interfere with local California National Guards companies. If enlistment is started, regular army sergeants will be in each community to receive the men. It is expected that the companies will be whipped into shape as quickly as possible, and be ready for duty whenever called within a short time. The unsetled condition in Mexico, and the possibility that war might result from our invasion of Mexican territory in pursuit of the bandit Villa, is responsible for this move. While the majority of the hundreds of Mexicans here are peaceable, and only ask to be let alone, the sudden influx of refugees and renegades is disquieting. In Los Angeles they have rushed in by THE SENIORS Following is a list of the class of 1916, Anaheim high school: John Bradley, Oral Brown, Vera Cole, Arthur Coons, Ruth Coons, Inez Elliott, Lella Gentry, Harold Goodale, Ben Hein, Ben Hemmerling, Ed.

Mrs. Etta Warner Glessner has filed a claim for $5415 against the estate of the late David Hewes, which she claims is due her for writing a history of the Hewes family. According to her statement she devoted almost three years to the work. She also spent $165 in traveling between Los Angeles and Orange county. At the request of Mr. Hewes she brought her mother to Orange county, she declares, in order that she would not be taken away from her work while giving her proper care. Mrs. Glessner's husband was formerly agent for the Salt Lake railroad at Santa Ana. The unsetled condition in Mexico, and the possibility that war might result from our invasion of Mexican territory in pursuit of the bandit Villa, is responsible for this move. While the majority of the hundreds of Mexicans here are peaceable, and only ask to be let alone, the sudden influx of refugees and renegades is disquieting. In Los Angeles they have rushed in by the hundreds during the past two weeks, and steps are being taken to stop the steady stream that is pouring in. The Los Angeles supervisors have asked the Orange county board to cooperate with them, and assist in deporting them. While many of them no doubt have fled from their battle-ridden country in search of peace, they have all been taught by their revolutionary leaders to hate the gringo, and in case of war with Mexico a well equipped company of soldiers. In our midst might have a tendency to preserve peace. The Nebraska state society of Southern California will hold its annual picnic at Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles on Saturday, April 15th. Dr. Frank Crane, a former Nebraskan of national reputation will deliver an address, talks will be made by other prominent former Nebraskans, and the program interspersed with music, recitations and a splendid Nebraska chorus. Mrs. Steve Reynard, formerly of Grand Island will render a solo and Dr. Rex Duncan will conduct the baby show, which is to be a special feature. Hot coffee and ice cream and all the other usual attractions of a picnic will be on tap. All former Nebraskans and their friends are invited to bring well filled baskets and enjoy the day, as this is to be the biggest picnic the society has ever held.
