The Weekly Gazette. ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR...$1.50 SIX MONTHS ...$1.00 THREE MONTHS ...$ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter. THE STATE SENATORSHIP Orange county this year concedes the state senator to its sister counties of the 39th district. Four years from now, Orange county will undoubtedly have sufficient population to be placed in a senatorial district by itself, as indeed it has at the present moment votes enough to entitle us to that honor. This county will poll more than 20,000 votes at the November election, and as there are a number of senatorial districts in the northern part of the state polling less than 15,000 votes, it is seen at a glance that Orange county is at this time entitled to a senatorial district of its own. If Whittier and its adjoining strip, containing probably 20,000 population, should be annexed to Orange county, as now seems probable, before the Federal census in 1920, Orange county will be entitled to two senators and four assemblymen. As the district is at present constituted Orange is in the 39th district with Riverside and Imperial counties, and it concedes the nomination of the senatorial candidate this year to those counties. If a candidate be selected by these two counties who is acceptable to this county, Orange will take him as its candidate and will roll up the usual majority for his election. But, according to the rule, the candidate so selected must be acceptable to the republicans of this county, and none other will be considered. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Orange county handed San Bernardino the bacon. Joe Backs says those delegates were Harbison men in disguise. Bill Jerome was at the convention peddling the bull. Walt Eden says San Diego was ducked twice. Why, Walter? Joe Burke was in attendance, giving the San Diegans the glassy slant. Orange county sure spanked San Diego to a frazzle and a fare-you-well. Bry Williams' hands are still sore from spanking the San Diegans. Bry is a double-handed spanker. Before agreeing upon a candidate for state senator, Orange county has a date with Riverside in the woodshed. Cap Daniels' ghost has been seen nights flitting about the Rubidoux hills, with whiskers longer than Carranza's. Jim Sleeper handed us a cigar the other day, and we brought it home and the wife sliced it up for cold slaw. Steve Kelly writes from San Berdoo that he is ready to go Frank Miller a bout at catch weights for the gate receipts. Stanley Reinhaus in a brand new long-pants suit, was sure the dude of the gang. Mercy sakes upon us, Stanley, how you've grown! San Diego will probably poll 40,000 votes in November. Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties will poll 70,000, and with Imperial county added, these four counties will poll more Riverside and Imperial counties, and it concedes the nomination of the senatorial candidate this year to those counties. If a candidate be selected by these two counties who is acceptable to this county, Orange will take him as its candidate and will roll up the usual majority for his election. But, according to the rule, the candidate so selected must be acceptable to the republicans of this county, and none other will be considered. Riverside, it is understood, has several aspirants for the honor, and it may be possible that Imperial county may suggest a candidate. The friendliness exhibited by Imperial county toward Orange at the recent congressional convention at San Diego, and the apparent hostility on the part of some of Riverside's delegates to Orange county's candidates has created a sentiment in this county favorable to consideration of the claims of a candidate from Imperial. We violate no confidence in stating that Orange county's delegation returned from San Diego with anything but a fellow feeling for its neighboring county of Riverside, so far as selection of a senatorial candidate is concerned, for there were men in the Riverside delegation who were outspoken in their disapproval of any Orange county man for congress. We have it on the highest authority that Miguel Estudillo, who was present at the convention on a proxy, expressed himself in harsh words concerning any candidate for congress from this county, and he and the little influence which he possessed in the delegation was probably responsible for the fact that Riverside showed but very little interest in the success of Orange county's candidate for this honor. This action of Mr. Estudillo has caused wide spread comment among republicans in Orange county, and they resent and repudiate the sentiments expressed by him at the congressional convention. If Imperial county shall propose a candidate for senator, there is little doubt that the weight of Orange county's influence will be thrown to his support. Riverside, instead of assisting Orange county at San Diego in naming its candidate for congress, assumed quite the opposite course, and when on the two final ballots Riverside threw its votes to Ward on the 14th and Wright on the 15th ballot, it was Orange county which defeated the aspirations of both these gentlemen. Stanley Reinhaus in a brand new long-pants suit, was sure the dude of the gang. Mercy sakes upon us, Stanley, how you've grown! San Diego will probably poll 40,000 votes in November. Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties will poll 70,000, and with Imperial county added, these four counties will poll more than double the vote of San Diego. What becomes, then, of San Diego's boast that she dominates this congressional district? Orange county polls 4000 votes more than Riverside, and yet that county was allotted the same number of delegates as this county to the congressional convention. San Diego polls not to exceed twice the vote of Orange county yet it was given 95 delegates to 40 for Orange. San Diego prepared the apportionment, and its porcine proclivities, as usual, were again in evidence. FOR CONGRESSMAN, R. C. HARBISON Following the lead of the national convention at Chicago, republican conventions this year are practical and business-like, and there is a disposition on the part of the representatives of the party to subordinate individual preferences to the interests of harmony. Carrying out this principle the delegates to the San Diego conference made no mistake in uniting upon R. C. Harbison of San Bernardino, as the party's candidate for congress in the Eleventh district. Before the conference adjourned after anouncement of his nomination, the rancor and differences caused by the keen conflict among the friends of the several candidates was forgotten, and he was pledged the unanimous support of the republican party of the district. Mr. Harbison is a candidate upon whom all opponents of the tariff policy of the democratic administration can unite with enthusiasm. He believes in the principles of the republican party, and his feet have never strayed away from its platforms. He lives in a citrus region and understands the needs of protection to that industry, as well as the other products of the district. That a republican president and a republican congress will be elected in November is foreor- candidate for senator, there is little doubt that the weight of Orange county's influence will be thrown to his support. Riverside, instead of assisting Orange county at San Diego in naming its candidate for congress, assumed quite the opposite course, and when on the two final ballots Riverside threw its votes to Ward on the 14th and Wright on the 15th ballot, it was Orange county which defeated the aspirations of both these gentlemen, first by standing solidly against the former, who was not an avowed candidate, before the convention, and secondly by withdrawing its own candidate and throwing its support to Harbison. Riverside showed no desire to cooperate with Orange county, and Orange county will probably be slow in selection of a senatorial candidate to the exclusion of the aspirations of republicans in Imperial county. There is very little question as we write that Orange county will throw its support to an Imperial county candidate if a suitable man will announce himself for office in that county, and it will ask that four years hence this county be given the honor of nominating the candidate for that office. Riverside seems to have made its political bed with San Diego, and the feeling is prevalent among republicans in Orange county, that Riverside has much to explain to Orange county before this county can support one of its numerous candidates for the senatorship. That the board of supervisors has no right under the law to assist the families of members of Company L, who have been called to the Mexican border is the decision handed down by Deputy District Attorney Walter Eden. He declares there is no provision under which the county's money can be used to support these families. Mr. Harbison is a candidate upon whom all opponents of the tariff policy of the democratic administration can unite with enthusiasm. He believes in the principles of the republican party, and his feet have never strayed away from its platforms. He lives in a citrus region and understands the needs of protection to that industry, as well as the other products of the district. That a republican president and a republican congress will be elected in November is foreordained, and the Eleventh California district must send a republican to Washington also if we hope to reap the full benefit of a republican administration. The protectionists have an overwhelming majority in this district and we believe Mr. Harbison can rally them around his banner and win a decisive victory. Mr. Harbison's opponent will be a man who is a follower and ardent supporter of the present administration at Washington; a man who favored the Underwood tariff bill, which cast its blighting influence over the industries of Southern California; a man who has always lived up with the democratic party which believes that it is a better policy to give the consumers in the east cheap citrus fruit, cheap walnuts and cheap sugar than to pay the growers in this state a reasonable price for producing them. Mr. Harbison's opponent also obeyed the party lash and supported President Wilson in his demand for the repeal of the exemption from tolls to American coastwise ships passing through the Panama canal. Notwithstanding Mr. Wilson and democratic candidates for congress in California promised that the republican enactment granting free tolls through the canal to American ships should be maintained, President Wilson as soon as he was settled comfortably in his ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1916 JULY CLEAR SALE Look for the Parrot Price Tickets.

This was the hardest blaw dealt California by the administration. We had been looking forward to the completion of the canal, believing it would relieve us of the excessive freight rates we were paying, and the repeal of that law deprived us of the chief benefits of the waterway. It added $1.20 per ton to the freight rates from the packing houses of Orange county to the market in New York; and nobody benefited by it except the railroads and the foreign steamship owners. The administration and the California congressmen who supported it have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. This state will give Hughes and Fairbanks 200,000 majority, and Orange county will roll up 5000 majority for the national ticket as well as for Mr. Harbison. Every county in this district is nomally republican by a large majority. There is no dissatisfaction in the ranks over the candidates, either national or congressional, and the democrats are confronted by a united and harmonious party. They are going to meet an ignomous and overwhelming defeat on the 6th of November. FOR ASSEMBLYMAN, J. C. BURKE In his campaign for reelection to the assembly J. C. Burke will have not only the unanimous support of the republicans of Orange county, but a generous following among those who differ from him politically. Joe is one of the most popular men in the county. He is a mixer and his genial disposition has won him hosts of friends among all classes of people. Moreover during his one term in the legislature he made a record that met the approval of all his constituents and justifies his re-election. He is a young man of brilliant attainments, and Orange county will take a prominent part in the enactment of the state's laws as long as he is her representative. Burke began his career as a buyer of oranges many years ago in Anaheim and its vicinity. He mingled with the growers in the northern part of the county and among them made a host of warm friends who, irrespective of their political beliefs, support him with their votes. Two years ago, when many good and true republicans in this county were defeated because of divisions in the ranks, he was elected by a large majority, and this fall he will be re-elected by an overwhelming vote.

COL. MOZART IS MAKING GOOD Citizens of Anaheim and vicinity should support Col. Mozart's new theatre on East Center street. Col. Mozart is showing the highest priced pictures here that are to be seen in Southern California, and he is making a success of his theatrical venture. Few cities of this size in the state have the opportunity of seeing these expensive pictures, and those who do not see them are missing rare treats. The Colonel has a fine program for this week including Saturday matinee, and the crowded houses which have enjoyed the pictures should be continued. It is not necessary to go to Los Angeles now to see these first class pictures. Col. Mozart will show them to you at his beautiful new theatre at popular prices. His theatre is a credit to this city, and we are glad to note that he is being given excellent support. Such pictures as Ramona, the Battle Cry of Peace, and other pictures which have been exhibited by him, and the Spoilers and the Fall of a Nation which come to his play house soon, are the highest priced pictures exhibited in California. Col Mozart is giving us the best pictures that can be procured in this state, and he is entitled to and should have the enthusiastic support of our theatre goers. Cut out your trips to Los Angeles to see the movies. You can see the same pictures here at less money, and save your self the discomforts of a trip to the neighboring city.
