BORDWELL'S POINT OF VIEW Judge Bordwell, who has injected himself into the canvass for U. S. Senator against Willis H. Booth, the regularly endorsed republican candidate, has issued a statement in which he characterizes the San Francisco conference as "uncalled for and illegal." This conference was composed of more than 500 delegates from all parts of the state, and was a truly representative body of republicans. It endorsed Willis H. Booth for United States Senator, and denounced Hiram W. Johnson who is also a candidate for the republican nomination for senator, as an enemy of the republican party. Judge Bordwell, with a fine tact for splitting hairs, says this conference was "uncalled for and illegal." But what about the state wide conference last spring, when Judge Bordwell was endorsed, with others, as republican candidate for delegate to the republican national convention at Chicago? At that time Gov. Johnson issued a statement, being registered as a progressive, urging republicans of California to defeat the Bordwell ticket, and to support the so-called united republican ticket. Judge Bordwell was of opinion at that time, that this conference was perfectly legal and proper; but he holds that last Saturday's conference to which he was invited to be present but by the citizen who regards himself as a supporter of the government rather than its dependent. Men engaged in creative enterprise would necessarily look upon the government not as an aid but as a rival, since the government would be competing against them as an employer and a producer. Plausible pretexts may be advanced in defense of government purchase of ships, the construction of nitrate plants, and the operation of armor-plate factories. eW can easily go a step farther and attempt to justify government ownership of the telegraph and telephone. The logical step beyond that is government ownership and operation of the railroads, after which we can justify government ownership of car building plants, locomotive works, steel works, iron mines, saw mills, and all other enterprises largely connected with railroad maintenance and operation. Although advocates of new government projects now being undertaken deny intention to extend that policy as thus indicated, the natural and inevitable consequence is the substitution of paternalism for individual initiative—the deterioration of the individual, and the consequent decline of the nation. Among other questions the American voter must decide in the coming election is whether he will register approval or disapproval of the paternalistic tendency the present administration has manifested. EDEN'S FAVORABLE OPINION Deputy District Attorney Eden has rendered an opinion to the effect that the action of Deputy Assessor Skiles in making up a list of taxpayers in the proposed United protection district from the undompleted 1916 roll instead of the previous one is not a fatal error, and that the supervisors may ignore that point in considering KELLY AND NUTHERN Find Republican County Solidly Hardened Stephen F.

EDEN'S FAVORABLE OPINION Deputy District Attorney Eden has rendered an opinion to the effect that the action of Deputy Assessor Skiles in making up a list of taxpayers in the proposed United protection district from the undompleted 1916 roll instead of the previous one is not a fatal error, and that the supervisors may ignore that point in considering the formation of the district. The matter was to be considered by the board yesterday afternoon and as the protest filed at the session last Tuesday contained only 15 per cent of the property owners of the district, that point was believed to be the only one that could interfere with a favorable decision by the supervisors. Hey, anybody here seen Kelly? Assemblyman Burke is taking desperate chances coming out in a new pair of snow white kicks. Lawyer Simons, his democratic opponent, has gone him one better by coming out barefooted. Anyway we would not say that Stanley Reinhaus' long pants suit is a misfit. Judge Bordwell persists in remaining in the senatorial fight, and there is Hiram Johnson's shadow enveloping him completely. 750 RE-REGISTERED County Clerk Williams estimated that about 750 voters have re-registered, changing their party affiliation from the non-stated column to some of the four parties. Practically all of the changes have been to the republican party. tI is believed that a large proportion of those who changed were from the non-stated class, and practically all of the rest from the progressive. There still remains 2500 non-stated voters in this county. The clerk estimates that the great register now contains 22,000 names. In November two years ago there were 24,000 names on the great register. That number will be reached and gone beyond by the first of October, when registration for the November election closes. Between now and the close of registration for the November and its policies be meticulous. On the quiet conditions he said.

We can make a fairly accurate computation of the destructive effects of the democratic tariff law, but we shall never be able to compute, in money values, the injury which the American people will sustain through a policy of paternalism. The destroying influence of public ownership upon the creative, constructive spirit of enterprise among the most active and capable of our people, will be felt not merely in this generation but in all time to come. The chief evils of government ownership are two: its effect upon the individual, and its effect upon the government. When the present relatively small number of government employees has been increased to more than 3,000,000—more than the plurality by which our presidential elections have been decided in the last half century—there will be at the command of the administration a political machine sufficient to establish a bureaucracy not far removed from an autocracy. The manner in which the present administration has set aside the civil service regulations leaves little room for argument that misuse of government patronage can be prevented. The higher salaries paid for public work and the shorter hours of labor, would create an insistent demand for employment in the government service, resulting in a political subservience on the part of the employee which would deprive this government of its present character as a real republic. The individual citizen would be encouraged to look upon the government, not as an institution which he should support, but an institution which should support him—an institution to which he should look for every service he mad need. Thus would be destroyed that spirit of patriotism entertained There still remains 2500 non-stated voters in this county. The clerk estimates that the great register now contains 22,000 names. In November two years ago there were 24,000 names on the great register. That number will be reached and gone beyond by the first of October, when registration for the November election closes. Between now and the close of registration for the November election the wet and dry forces will comb the county for registrations. The county clerk is gathering in registration books from all over the county. Registration, transfers and re-registrations closed last Saturday night at midnight. The registrations will be quickly arranged, and typewritten supplements will be made for the use of the election boards in the August primaries. The typewritten sheets will be fastened to the printed lists that were used in the May primaries. Suit has been filed in district court against Mr. Van Winkle of Huntington Beach by Mrs. Isabel Hampton and her daughter Winifred, aged one year, asking $10,000 damages for the death of Otla Hampton, husband and father of the plaintiffs. On August 12, 1915, Hampton was on a truck loaded with Anaheim people going to Seal Beach. An automobile driven by Mr. Van Winkle, a man well along in years, attempted to pass the truck. According to statements made at the time, another machine was approaching, and Van Winkle veered into the truck. Hampton was standing on the running board. He received injuries from which he died in a Long Beach hospital. Expert plano tuning, F. W. Schmidt. ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1916 KELLY AND NUTTER HERE FOR HARBISON Find Republican Sentiment in This County Solidly In Favor of R. C. Harbison Stephen F. Kelly of San Bernardino and Frank W. Nutter of Redlands, were in town on Tuesday in the interest of R. C. Harbison of San Bernardino, republican candidate for congress in the Eleventh district. They found republicans in all section of Orange county steadfast in their support of Mr. Harbison, who will probably carry the county by more than 5000 majority. Mr. Harbison will have the solid support of San Bernardino and River-side counties, and will roll up large majorities in both those counties. He will also carry Imperial county by a good majority, and there are flattering prospects that he will sweep San Diego. Mr. Harbison will undoubtedly be elected to Congress in this district at the November election, and it is simply a question of the size of his majority over his democratic opponent. HUGHES' SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE On the occasion of the formal notification of his nomination for the presidency by the republicans, Charles E. Hughes delivered a ringing address at Carnegie hall Monday. It was a ringing arraignment of the administration and its policies both foreign and domestic. On the question of industrial conditions he said: "When we contemplate industrial and commemorial conditions, we see that we are living in a fool's paradise. The temporary prosperity to which our opponents point has been created by the abnormal conditions incident to the war. With the end of the war there will be the new conditions determined by a new Europe. Millions of men in self as rath-engaged neceses not as govern them." R. C. HARBISON VISITOR IN ANAHEIM YESTERDAY Republican Candidate for Congress Making Get-Acquainted Campaign R. C. Harbison, republican candidate for congress in the Eleventh district, is making a tour of Orange county this week, and was in Anaheim yesterday afternoon. Mr. Harbison is merely making a get-acquainted tour of the district on this trip, reserving his speaking campaign until after the primary election. He has already visited San Diego and Riverside counties, and is satisfied with conditions as he finds them. "I find no factional fights in the district," said he. "It is a clear-cut contest this year between the believers in the principles of the two dominant parties. It is a contest to determine whether this district shall endorse the Wilsonian policies or pledge its faith to the doctrine of the republican party. I find no wet and dry fights, no progressivism, no side issues of any kind. I am confident the republicans will sweep the district by an immense majority." Mr. Harbison attended a republican meeting at Santa Ana Tuesday night and was getting acquainted with the people in the north end of the county yesterday. Richard Melrose and his daughter, Miss Winifred, returned yesterday from Barnff, Canada, after an absence of three weeks. Judge Frank Shanley and wife have returned from a very pleasant month's outing at San Jancinto. The judge reports the weather warm in the interior, and says he will never again leave Anaheim for a month as long as he lives. OFFICERS RECOMMENDED Adjutant General Thomas is going to recommend that Corporal C. D. Swanner be appointed by Gov. Johnson as second lieutenant of Company L, Seventh Regiment, now at Nogales. This is additional information to that already receiver at Santa Ana previous information being that the general would recommend that First Lieutenant N. M. Holderman be advanced to captain, to take the place of Capt. J. L. McBride, and that Second Lieut. A. K. Ford be advanced to first lieutenant. Not being acquainted with Swanner, who was recommended by Capt. McBride for second lieutenant, General Thomas sent to Santa Ana for information concerning him. That information was forwarded, with the result that General Thomas will recommend him for second lieutenant when the vacancy occurs. It is generally understood that the recommendation of the adjutant general is equal to an appointment, as Gov. Johnson will undoubtedly follow the adjutant general's recommendation. Information that General Thomas would recommend Swanner for appointment as second lieutenant came in a letter to Judge W. H. Thomas from Martin Madsen, the governor's private secretary. Born, to Mr. and Mrs. Leo Sheridan on Monday, July 31, a daughter. J. W. Duckworth and wife left yesterday for the San Gabriel canyon where they will spend a couple of weeks at Camp Rincon. Mr. Duckworth is taking a vacation, not only for a rest, but to recuperate his health. NOTICE TO ANTI-PROHIBITIONISTS On February 29 I wrote to a firm of Los Angeles attorneys for information and its policies both foreign and domestic. On the question of industrial conditions he said: "When we contemplate industrial and commrcial conditions, we see that we are living in a fool's paradise. The temporary prosperity to which our opponents point has been created by the abnormal conditions incident to the war. With the end of the war there will be the new conditions determined by a new Europe. Millions of men in the trenches will return to work. The energies of each of the now belligerent nations, highly trained, will then be turned to production. These are days of terrible discipline for the nations at war, but it must not be forgotten that each is developing a national soldarity, a knowledgeof method, a realization of capacity hitherto unapproached. In each, the lessons of cooperation now being learned will never be forgotten. Friction and waste have been reduced to a minimum; labor and capital have a better understanding, business organization is more highly developed and more intelligently directed than ever before. We see in each nation a marvelous national efficiency. Let it not be supposed that this efficiency will not count when Europe, once more at peace, pushes its productive powers to the utmost limit. "On the other hand, in this country, with the stoppage of the manufacture of munitions, a host of men will be turned out of employment. We must meet the most severe competition in industry. We are undisciplined, defective in organization, loosely knit, industrially unprepared. "Our opponents promised to reduce the cost of living. This they have failed to do, but they did reduce the opportunities of making a living. Let us not forget the conditions that existed in this country under the new tariff prior to the outbreak of the war. Production had decreased, business was languishing, new enterprises were not undertaken, instead of expansion there was curtailment, and our streets were filled with the unemployed. It was estimated that in the city of New York over 300,000 were out of work. Throughout the country the jobless demanded relief. The labor commissioners of many states and our municipal administrations devoted themselves to the problem of unemployment, while the resources of our voluntary charitable organizations were most severely taxed. What ground is there for expecting better conditions Richard Melrose and his daughter, Miss Winifred, returned yesterday from Bannff, Canada, after an absence of three weeks. Judge Frank Shanley and wife have returned from a very pleasant month's outing at San Jancinto. The judge reports the weather warm in the interior, and says he will never again leave Anaheim for a month as long as he lives. Welcome home, judge! Mrs. F. C. Krause, in charge of a party of young ladies, went down to Seal Beach Tuesday to spend the day. The young ladies were Misses Lucille Krause, Edythe Simpson, Hazel Waldler, Margaret Martenet, Ruth Lemon and Vivien Petermann. Mrs. George Hyde left yesterday for Boston on a visit to relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Adams and Mr. and Mrs. A. Launders were at Newport Beach Sunday. Mrs. Virginia Glasser is visiting with her sister, Mrs. H. C. Neff. Juan Martinez, a Mexican who lives at Placentia was run over by an automobile Saturday night as he was walking from Anaheim to Placentia. He has three broken ribs and a possible fracture of the skull. WILSON INVADED MEXICO Today, after a little more than three years of the Wilson policy, virtually every American has been driven out of Mexico. If any remain, they live in hiding and in deadly peril of assassination. Their property has been pillaged or wholly confiscated. The United States has twice invaded Mexico with armed forces and has been many times invaded by the armed guerrillas of Mexico. We are mobilizing 150,000 troops on the Mexican border and war has been made almost inevitable. And in the face of this President Wilson tries to talk to American business men about the excellent trade opportunities which he is preserving for them in Mexico. The explanation of what has happened is that the Wilson administration has been interfering in Mexican on Monday, July 31, a daughter. J. W. Duckworth and wife left yesterday for the San Gabriel canyon where they will spend a couple of weeks at Camp Rincon. Mr. Duckworth is taking a vacation, not only for a rest, but to recuperate his health. NOTICE TO ANTI-PROHIBITIONISTS On February 29 I wrote to a firm of Los Angeles attorneys for information as to cost of testing four questions in the courts on constitutional grounds. The reply was as follows: "The expense of testing the four questions presented to us in the courts of last resort would not be less than $2000. This estimate includes a very moderate sum for attorney's fees and the expense of printing the record and arguments required by the rules of the supreme court of the United States." The four questions which I presented to the attorneys are as follows: 1. A suit against a county clerk to enjoin him from registering persons who use the title "Prohibition" after their names, to cancel the names registered as such, and to cancel the registration of those persons who signed the initiative petitions submitted to Secretary of State Jordan known as "prohibition measures." I claim that said persons are not citizens within the meaning of the constitution of the United States. 2. A suit to enjoin Secretary of State Jordan from placing upon the ballot for the November election two so-called "prohibition measures," and to enjoin the Governor of California from including in the general election proclamation the two proposed "prohibition measures." I claim that these measures would be in conflict with the constitution of the United States and therefore invalid if adopted, and on further ground that adoption would endanger the State of California as a political entity of the United States in the position of a state. 3. A suit to enjoin the Governor and the Secretary of State Arizona from making provision for the alleged State of Arizona to participate in the national election next November, on the ground that Arizona, by virtue of its enactment of a "prohibition amendment," has forfeited its right to statehood. 4. A suit to test the constitutionality of the California primary election law, by enjoining Secretary of State Jordan from placing upon the November ballot any candidates who may be nominated by the primary election this month. This law places an unnecessary electoral and financial burden upon the people of the state by a duplicate election when only one election (in November) is necessary to decide what persons are to be "elected" to office. I believe the court will contend that the primary election law is unconstitutional on the vital ground that the United States, or any political there was curtailment, and our streets were filled with the unemployed. It was estimated that in the city of New York over 300,000 were out of work. Throughout the country the jobless demanded relief. The labor commissioners of many states and our municipal administrations devoted themselves to the problem of unemployment, while the resources of our voluntary charitable organizations were most severely taxed. What ground is there for expecting better conditions when the unhealthy stimulus of the war has spent its force and our industries and working men are exposed to the competition of an energized Europe?" Among other punches he delivered the administration were the following: "Utterly intolerable is the use of our soil for alien intrigues." "I endorse the declaration of the platform in favor of woman suffrage." "We demand from Mexico the protection of the lives and the property of our citizens." "Brave words in a series of (Wilson) notes, but what do they avail?" "We demand adequate protection on both our western and eastern coasts." "The democratic administration has failed to discharge its responsibilities." "The conduct of the administration has created difficulties we shall have to surmount." "We are too great a country to require of our citizens engaged in peaceful vocations the sort of military service to which they are now called." "We advocate an international tribunal to make peace lasting after the great war." "Safeguarding of American rights abroa has not been accomplished by the administration." Dr. M. M. Henderson, Deatist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. A suit to test the constitutionality of the California primary election law, by enjoining Secretary of State Jordan from placing upon the November ballot any candidates who may be nominated by the primary election this month. This law places an unnecessary electoral and financial burden upon the people of the state by a duplicate election when only one election (in November) is necessary to decide what persons are to be "elected" to office. I believe the court will contend that the primary election law is unconstitutional on the vital ground that the United States, or any political subdivision thereof is concerned only in the matter of "election" to office, and not in the matter of who shall be "nominated," for election to positions, and on the further ground that candidates for salaried offices are penalized by the imposition of a filing fee or license to run for office. By declaring the primary election law unconstitutional, the court would enable any qualified citizen to run for office, or any group of qualified citizens, by simply filing with the election officers of state, county or city their names with their political designation and the offices for which they desired to be voted for, without any red tape system or any organized electoral trust. This would enable the American Party (Anti-Prohibition) or any other party, to file the names of its candidates, etc., in any "constitutional" state of the Union. I believe there are only about 29 "constitutional states" in the Union, and declare that the American Party (Anti-Prohibition) can only offer its candidates in such "constitutional states." I hereby agree to contribute $50 to the fund of $2000 required by the attorneys to tackle the four questions in the Supreme Court of the United States, and hope that all anti-prohibitionists in Orange County, or elsewhere will cooperate with me in bringing these matters before the court as soon as possible. Contributions from 25 cents up will be received and receipted for. GEORGE BAUER, American Party (Anti-Prohibition) Candidate for President of the Republic. Anaheim, Cal., Aug. 2, 1916.—Adv.

Work is being pushed in many places along the line, bridges are being widened, cuts are widened and fills put in. The work will cost $550,000. The money was appropriated more than a year ago for this improvement which is now under way. When the additional track is completed more trains than ever before will be run via Fullerton junction. There will be a big saving of time by many trains between Fullerton and Los Angeles as no trains will have to side track to wait for another flyer to pass. It is also said the big working force at the Fullerton depot will be increased within a few months. Mrs. A. R. Kennedy was visiting friends in Los Angeles last week. Mrs. Percy Rust went up to Los Angeles Tuesday on a visit to friends. J. D. Heitsheusen and family moved down to Newport Beach Tuesday. Dick says that with the exception of three sea gulls walking on the sands and two fishermen sitting on a pier, he saw no signs of life in the beach town. More than twenty years ago Rudyard Kipling journeyed through the United States and wrote some letters to the paper in India with which he was then connected. In one of these letters he commented upon our military unpreparedness and said that some morning there would be seven million mad men in the United States—for they would find a war on hand and there would be no guns. Germany has 75,000 machine guns; France has 45,000; England has 35,000. The United States has 1,000 and of these only about 600 are available, the others being in the Philippines, in the Canal Zone or in use in coast fortifications. Yet the democrats in congress objected to permitting the state of Illinois to buy machine guns to be presented to the Illinois militia when it was mustered into the service of the nation. As a matter of fact, Carranza probably has more machine guns than we have—and every one of them was made in this country and was permitted to reach Carranza by the grace of Woodrow Wilson.
