SPEAKERS SCORE GOVERNOR'S METHODS CANDIDATES FOR DELEGATES TO CHICAGO CONVENTION TELL OF UNDERHAND WORK BLUNDERS OF WILSON ADMINISTRATION ALSO EXPOSED BY ELOQUENT ORATORS Gov. Johnson's unscrupulous efforts to secure control of the delegation to the republican national convention at Chicago were denounced in eloquent terms by a number of speakers at the first rally of the campaign Monday night. The opera house was crowded to its full capacity by an enthusiastic crowd of republican men and women who demonstrated their interest by the applause with which they punctuated the telling points of the speakers. Not only was Johnson and his disreputable machine denounced, but the weak and vacillating policy of the administration at Washington was removed, went to Spain, France and Italy with the intention of starting a factory in Europe for the purpose of supplying eastern cities, knowing that California could not compete with European labor." Lewis L. Lostutter of Pomona, also one of the candidates, was the next speaker. Mr. Lostutter was delegate to both the St. Louis and Philadelphia conventions. His speech was very short, but extremely pointed. "The most important question before you now," he said, "is the election of a true blue republican delegation to Chicago. The question of who is nominated for president is not so important, as he is certain to be a good man. In marking your ballot for delegates don't count from the top. Count from the bottom, and stop when you mark 26." C. C. Chapman, our own candidate, followed Mr. Lostutter. "There is just one point I wish to make," said Mr. Chapman, "and that is that the products of California must be protected. It is only through the republican party that we can secure protection. The democratic party will not give it to us. We must line up with the republican party and send a republican delegation to Chicago. When we went to Washington recently they said to us, 'You of California were enjoying the highest protection, given you by the republican party,' and you turned it down. Now take your medicine." You Chicago were denounced in eloquent terms by a number of speakers at the first rally of the campaign Monday night. The opera house was crowded to its full capacity by an enthusiastic crowd of republican men and women who demonstrated their interest by the applause with which they punctuated the telling points of the speakers. Not only was Johnson and his disreputable machine denounced, but the weak and vacillating policy of the administration at Washington was exposed and roundly scored. Judge Walter Bordwell, who heads the republican list of nominees for delegates to the republican convention, John G. Mott, John S. Akerman, C. C. Chapman, Louis W. Lostutter, Walter Eden, Robert Scott and James F. Stutsman were the speakers, and they made the opera house ring with denunciatory eloquence such as never before was heard there. The blundering and vacillating policy of President Wilson and the underhand dealings of Gov. Johnson were exposed, and if one speaker overlooked a point another one remembered it. The subject was a fruitful one, the speakers were eloquent, and the large crowd in accord with them. President F. C. Krause of the Anaheim Republican club presided and introduced the various speakers. He first presented S. C. Hartranft, who made a short but appropriate address of welcome. Judge Walter Bordwell of Los Angeles, was then introduced as the principal speaker of the evening. All the speeches were necessarily brief, but all were to the point. Judge Bordwell's address will be found in full on the eighth page of this paper. John G. Mott, one of Los Angeles' leading attorneys, followed Bordwell. He said that his boyhood days had been spent in Anaheim and he was extremely happy in having an opportunity to greet its people. He eulogized the republican candidates and told of the short-comings of the present administration. The United States, he said, is enjoying an unwholesome prosperity, a temporary prosperity, the kind we do not want. Before the conflict in Europe we were facing a deficit of 50 million dollars. God knows how great it would have become had it not been for the European war. It is the republican party that represents protection to our friends at home, and our citizens abroad. American citizens should have protection. We want a president who will make the American name protected from indignity and Robert Scott, executive secretary of the Republican club of Los Angeles, made a short talk and Walter Eden of Santa Ana, was introduced. Nearly everybody in Anaheim has heard Mr. Eden and knows him to be an eloquent speaker. On this occasion he sustained his reputation, although his talk was brief. "My observation of the electorate has been," he said, "that people like to try some experiment, some fad. They have been trying it. It is also my observation that voters after trying it speedily return to the policy that is safe. Give them a chance and sooner or later they will return to a same policy. We have reached a time when the people are demanding protection to American products and American citizens. Mr. Underwood has stated that only six counties in California raise lemons, and he refused to restore the duty. The tariff on lemons was lowered at the bohest of the Italian importers in New York. Which do you favor—the California citrus grower or the New York Italian importer? Congressman Kettner promised you that he would look after your interests at Washington. He will make you the same promise should he again be a candidate. We also want protection for our citizens abroad. Instead of a president who can write a long letter with no meaning in it we want a man who can write a short one that is full of meaning. We don't want a president who will march his army up the hill and then march down again. We need a president imbued with the spirit of 1898, when we remembered the Maine." James F. Stutsman of Indiana, who was former United States minister to olivia, was the last speaker. Mr. Chapman, "and that is that the products of California must be protected. It is only through the republican party that we can secure protection. The democratic party will not give it to us. We must line up with the republican party and send a republican delegation to Chicago. When we went to Washington recently they said to us, 'You of California were enjoying the highest protection, given you by the republican party, and you turned it down. Now take your medicine.' You cannot afford to send a questionable delegation to Chicago and a questionable congressman to Washington. You cannot prosper without protection and you cannot expect it unless you line up for it." is enjoying an unwholesome prosperity, a temporary prosperity, the kind we do not want. Before the conflict in Europe we were facing a deficit of 50 million dollars. God knows how great it would have become had it not been for the European war. It is the republican party that represents protection to our friends at home, and our citizens abroad. American citizens should have protection. We want a president who will make the American name protected from indignity and insult. These men and women on the ticket with me have kept the faith. They believe in their country and they believe in protection. John S. Akerman of San Diego, one of the nominees from this district, was introduced after Mott. Mr. Akerman said he had been nominated as a delegate without his knowledge, but having received the nomination concluded it was no time to hesitate, and at the party's call he went to the bat. "Those who know me," said he, "know that one of my greatest ambitions during the past three years has been to help restore the republican party, the party of true progress and prosperity, to its proper place at the head of national affair. From the time of the civil war the democratic party has, on seevral occasions, been given charge of the government, and usually the loud acclaim for a change which preceded its entry into power has been followed by a sigh of relief when the term ended. On no occasion have the democrats succeeded themselves. The present administration started out with a platform but had not proceeded far when they discarded it. We were assured of reduced cost of living, we got a reduction of income. That made it hard to live at all. The threat to remove the duty on sugar paralyzed that industry. Factories throughout the country closed. My own brother, when the duty on olive oil and olives James F. Stutsman of Indiana, who was former United States minister to Olivia, was the last speaker. Mr. Stutsman was not on the program, but his address demonstrated the wisdom of the committee in securing him. His speech was not only full of sound argument but sparkled with humor. The manner in which he flayed the administration at Washington for its incompetency elicited vociferous applause. He also paid tribute to the 26 republican candidates and said he was traveling with them as an exhorter. "Why don't you people emulate the example of Indiana?" he asked. "A short time ago we held an election and cast 176,000 votes for a republican senator, while the progressive candidate polled 7000 votes. The Concordia singing society rendered a selection which was so well received that it was forced to give two more before the audience was satisfied. The opera house was crowded to its full capacity. Hundreds of people were here from other sections of the county, and a good-sized delegation came down from Los Angeles. The Los Angeles visitors came in autos. The speakers and distinguished visitors were entertained at dinner at the Hotel Valencia by a committee from the Republican club, forty persons being in the party. The Anaheim band played several selections in front of the hotel during the course of the dinner, then led the party to the opera house, which soon filled to over- Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, April 20, 1916 CURTIS DEMANDS CONTRACT FOR PAVING LOWEST BIDDER DECLARES PROCEDINGS FOR BROADWAY IMPROVEMENT IS LEGAL E. R. WERDIN HOLDS WORK WAS ILLEGAL, TRUSTEES DEFER ACTION UNTIL MONDAY Declaring that he believed the proceedings of the board of trustees in ordering the paving of Broadway were legal, and demanding as the lowest bidder, that the contracts for both East and West Broadway be awarded him, George H. Curtis, a paving contractor of Los Angeles, headed off the proposition to reject all bids and re-advertise, until such time as he could get an opinion from his attorney. Mr. Curtis was upheld in his demand by representatives of other paving firms who had submitted bids. They declared that it was the duty of the board to award the contract, and allow him to determine before signing. nounced the board and the city attorney for permitting the bids to be read, knowing, he said, that the contract could not be let. As the lowest bidder he demanded that the contract be awarded him and he would determine, through his own attorneys, whether or not the proceedings were legal. Messrs Crouch & Crouch, he said, were not the only attorneys in Los Angeles, and on more than one occasion work had been performed, and legally performed, after they had advised against it. He demanded either that the work be awarded him with the understanding that he could reject it if his attorneys advised against it, or that no further action be taken until he could get an opinion. Representatives from all the other companies were present, and some of them sustained Mr. Curtis in his contention. The board decided to hold the question open until Monday night at which time Mr. Curtis promised to be present with a legal opinion on which he would pin his faith. If that opinion upheld the proceedings of the board he would accept the responsibility and take the chance of getting paid for the work. If the opinion was the reverse he would decline to sign the contract, and the board could proceed to readvertise. The total area to be paved on East Broadway is 163,860 square feet, the TRUSTEES AWARD CONTRACT TO CURTIS CONTRACTOR, HOWEVER, AWAITS LEGAL ADVICE FROM HIS ATTORNEY BEFORE QUALIFYING JOHN ZIEGLER RENEWS THE TEST FOR SUNDAY LIQUOR LICENSE NO ACTION Disregarding the opinion of the city attorney given them at the previous meeting, that the proceedings in the Broadway paving were illegal, the city trustees awarded the contract to George R. Curtis of Los Anagels on Monday night, his bid of 10 3-4 cents per foot being the lowest submitted at the meeting held on Thursday evening, April 13th. Trustees Cook, Stark, Schneider and Brunworth, voted in favor of awarding the contract to Mr. Curtis, Trustee Hamler voting nay. Mr. Hamler stated that if the proceedings were illegal he failed to see how the board could legally award the propose protected. publican party rejection.

Mr. bildder, that the contracts for both East and West Broadway be awarded him, George H. Curtis, a paving contractor of Los Angeles, headed off the proposition to reject all bids and re-advertise, until such time as he could get an opinion from his attorney. Mr. Curtis was upheld in his demand by representatives of other paving firms who had submitted bids. They declared that it was the duty of the board to award the contract, and allow him to determine before signing up, whether or not there was a flaw in the proceedings. The board decided to hold the matter open until Monday night, when Mr. Curtis promised to be on hand to accept the contract and take the chances if his attorney so advises or to withdraw his bid if, in his opinion, the actions of the board were not in accordance with the law. Eleven bids were submitted for each of the proposed contracts. With three exceptions the figures for the east and west ends were the same.

Paving company would be, as Mr. Werdin has constructed most of Anaheim's paved streets. Instead of a bid, however, Mr. Werdin's envelope contained a letter announcing that he declined to submit a bid on the ground that the proceedings of the board were not in accordance with law, and the contract would not constitute a legal lien on the property. Mr. Werdin submitted a letter from his attorneys, Crouch & Crouch, in which it was stated that the law requires resolutions ordering work to be printed in a daily paper if one exists in the city, whereas the resolutions ordering the Broadway paving were printed in a weekly newspaper. The proceedings, therefore were illegal, and property owners could not be held for the payment. City Attorney Ames in response to an interrogation, stated that his opinion coincided with that of Messrs. Crouch & Crouch, and the only action the board could take would be to reject all bids and republish the resolution and the call for bids. If the contract is let now the contractor must assume all responsibility. Then Mr. Curtis rose up and flowed. It was one of the largest and most enthusiastic rallys ever held in Anaheim, and indicates that the publicans have awakened to the importance of the issues confronting them, and are determined to redress their grievances both in state and national affairs. An excellent dinner was served by the chef of the Hotel Valencia cafe, which was highly appreciated by the forty persons comprising the party. The Easter Day service at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, corner Emily and Adele streets, the Rev. David Todd Gillmor, rector, will be, 8:00 a.m. Holy Communion, 9:45 a.m. Bible school, 11:00 o'clock Holy Communion and sermon, 7:30 p.m. Evening Choral song and special music by the choir. A cordial welcome to all. E. E. Smith was a member of a party journeying to Mount Lowe and other snow covered points on Sunday. John Ziegler appeared before the board and asked for free juice for his hotel Valencia. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements for investigation and report. Ordinance No. 301 was introduced, amending the liquor ordinance now in effect. The amendment grants a table liquor license to the cafe in the Hotel Valencia. Liquor is to be served with bona fide meals only. The license is $35 per month. John Ziegler renewed his request for a Sunday liquor license for the hotel, claiming that he has gone to great expense in building the fine hotel, and desired a Sunday license of three hour's duration during the noon and evening meal hours. He stated that without the license it was problematical whether the cafe could continue successfully. The board took no action, having at a previous meeting some months ago denied Mr. Ziegler's request. That gentleman averred, however, that at the outset he had tentatively been given assurance that he would be granted the license, upon the strength of which he proceeded to build his hotel. Mr. Ziegler stated, that had he known that he was not to receive a Sunday liquor license he would not have built the hotel. The trustees argue from the standpoint, that since the people some years ago voted against the gale of liquor on Sunday, they had no right now to grant the license. Mr. Ziegler said he would circulate a petition and call for an election to vote on whether or not he should be granted a Sunday license. A communication was received from Architect Durfee, asking for $300 as pay for the unused plans submitted TWIN BRIDGES CONDEMNED AT MEETING A LARGE ASSEMBLAGE OF TAX-PAYERS GO ON RECORD AS AGAINST BOND ISSUE SUPERVISOR SCHU MACHER'S COURSE APPROVED AND EN-DORSEMENT GIVEN HIM FOR RE-ELECTION A largely attended meeting of taxpayers assembled at the spacious rooms of the Fullerton club in that city on Saturday evening, and voted unanimously against the proposed issue and bridge and road bonds in the amount of $150,000. The meeting demanded that only one bridge be built at the Yorba crossing, that this be placed at the site of the old bridge, and that the proposed 700-foot bridge at Richfield be abandoned. A committee was appointed to appear before the board of supervisors on Tuesday, the 18th and demand that the Richfield for the new city hall which has failed to materialize. Upon motion of Trustee Schneider, seconded by Trustee Stark, the request was denied. A communication was received from Seal Beach, stating that a large crowd of boosters from that place were coming to Anaheim in a few days on a run-around excursion. Several building permits were granted. The trustees canvassed the returns of the recent municipal election. The vote remains as previously reported and is as follows. For Trustees—J. H. Cook, 639; J. J. Dwyer, 664; F. Goodrich, 130; G. M. Simpson, 568; Wm. Stark, 640. Messrs. Dwyer and Stark were elected. For City Clerk—E. B. Merritt 1076. There were several scattering votes. For Treasurer—C. A., Boege, 752; Earl R. Abbey, 526. Boege is elected. Proposition to allow trustees a salary of $10 per month—No, 566; Yes, 498. Since it required a two-thirds majority the proposition was defeated. The old board adjourned sine die. The new board will convene on April 27th. SEN. JOHN B. MOOSE RIGHT ON THE JOB SEN. JOHN B. MOOSE RIGHT ON THE JOB Tries to Get Progressives to Vote United Republican Ticket, Gets Mad, Beats it to the Hills Senator John B. Moose of Santa Ana, has beat it to the hills, and will probably not return until after the presidential primary, May 2. Senator Moose is mad through and through, and it all came about in his failure to line up progressives to vote for the united republican ticket, at a meeting held at a Santa Ana Bull Moose newspaper office the other evening. A sprinkling of unities and progressives attended the meeting, and when a number of the latter refused to "do politics," and support the unities' ticket, Senator Moose is said to have exploded, and used some particularly harsh verbiage against a number of the progressives present. He said that one of the number was "erratic," in his political stature and the latter is reported to have retaliated by declaring that Senator Moose was a jackass, or words to that effect. "We must do a little politics," Senator Moose is reported to have said, but a wild, raucous laugh greeted his declaration on the part of the progressives present, which was heard clear out on the San Joaquin hills. All of these things are looked upon with feelings of direful regret on the part of good republicans throughout the county, who declare it is too bad progressives are straying from support of Collier and Estudillo, for delegates to the national republican convention. It is believed that both these distinguished plutocrats will receive about three votes in Orange county, these being one from Senator Moose another from the Bull Moose editor of Santa Ana who fought Estudillo for state senator eight years ago, and the third from Brother Jackman of the Taxpayers' League. It is possible that neither of these distinguished gentlemen will vote for Collier and Estudillo, and if this be so these candidates will not receive a room of $10 per month—No, 566; Yes, 498. Since it required a two-thirds majority the proposition was defeated. The old board adjourned sine die. The new board will convene on April 27th. The action of County Treasurer Joplin in calling in county funds from the different banks was discussed, and a motion was unanimously adopted against such procedure, requesting the Taxpayers' League to rescind their request to Joplin to call this outstanding money in. The course of Supervisor Schumacher in voting against the Richfield bridge was endorsed, and the meeting pledged itself to support him for re-election. Applause followed this action, and Mr. Schumacher was called upon for a speech. He thanked the assemblage for its kind words of reference to him, and pledged himself if re-elected to be alert in protecting the interests of the taxpayers not only of the third supervisor district but of the entire county as well. He said he understood the county's business more perfectly at this time than when first elected to office three years ago, and pledged himself if re-elected to be more efficiently on the job than ever before. F. W. Bishop of La Habra presided, and C. L. McGill lof the same section acted as secretary. Gus Stern of Fullerton delivered an address of welcome, speaking at some length on the necessity of voters and taxpayers in Northern Orange county to come together in assemblages of this kind and discuss the many questions of public import which should engage their attention. Referring to the proposed $150,000 bond issue for bridges and the Santa Ana canyon road, he spoke in vigorous protest of the action of the supervisors in deciding to build two bridges at the Yorba crossing. He declared that the proposed bridge at Richfield was an effort on the part of the people at Orange to divert trade from the region north of the river to that city, and referred to a recent meeting of citizens at Yorba Lienda at renewed his request for liquor license for the cafe in the Hotel or is to be served with only.

TheLicense from the stand of people some years must have no right now to use him he would circulate a vote on an election to vote not he should be granting it was received from asking for $300 as used plans submitted it believed that both these distinguished plutocrats will receive about three votes in Orange county, these being one from Senator Moose another from the Bull Moose editor of Santa Ana who fought Estudillo for state senator eight years ago, and the third from Brother Jackman of the Taxpayers' League. It is possible that neither of these distinguished gentlemen will vote for Collier and Estudillo, and if this be so these candidates will not receive a vote in Orange county, unless Ah Foo released from the Patton insane asylum, and will cast a solitary vote for them. Ah Foo is not a citizen of the commonwealth to be sure, but neither was Senator Moose on the occasion of his entry into state politics ever so many years ago, when he tried to secure the nomination for an important county office before taking out his citizenship papers. When Assemblyman Joe Burke heard of the state of affairs at the Bull Moose meeting he is said to have wept bitter tears of grief, and Cy Adams threatens to get out another circular. That's way it goes in the Bull Moose camp, and unless Gov. Hiram hikes himself to Santa Ana, there will be nothing doing for the unities ticket on election day. In the words of the illustrious Louis Kroeger the unities' "pants are down." Senator Moose has busted his suspender, and has beat it to the hills to sew a button on. Mrs. George W. Hamler delightfully entertained the Euchre club at her home on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. Shanley won first prize, a pair of gold hatpins, Mrs. Bennerscheldt won second, the prize being the same as first, and Mrs. McCord was given the consolation, one gold hatpin. Delicious refreshments were served by the hostess. Referring to the proposed $150,000 bond issue for bridges and the Santa Ana canyon road, he spoke in vigorous protest of the action of the supervisors in deciding to build two bridges at the Yorba crossing. He declared that the proposed bridge at Richfield was an effort on part of the people at Orange to divert trade from the region north of the river to that city, and referred to a recent meeting of citizens at Yorba Linda at which more than 100 were present when unanimous protest was voiced against the building of this bridge. The river at this point, he said, was wide and shallow and not at all adopted to the construction of a bridge. He declared the expense was worse than useless, and hoped the meeting would go on record against this piece of official extravagance. He was of the opinion that if a committee made a strong protest to the board it would rescind its action, but failing to do this he urged defeat of the entire bond issue. He referred to the action of county Treasurer Joplin in calling in deposits of public money from various banks of the county, speaking in opposition to the treasurer's plan of action, and said that as the meeting proceeded he would suggest other matters of public import for discussion. Charles Eygabroad in a neat address responding to the welcome, referred to fact that it was esentiall for the taxpayers of northern part of Orange county to come together and talk over matters which were of vital interest to them. He said people come together in national councils, in state legislatures and in county assemblages, but he held that local meetings of taxpayers and citizens, discussing matters vitally interesting them in local affairs were the most important assemblages which they are
