HIRAM JOHNSON AND THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION In the light of his political record during the past six years, Hiram Johnson's effrontery in seeking the nomination for United States senator on the republican ticket is one of the most amazing things in political history. He is not a republican. He is registered as a progressive and does not claim to be a republican, and every act of his since the national convention in 1912 shows that he hates the republican party worse than the devil hates holy water. Last June when the republicans and progressives were holding their national conventions in Chicago on the same dates, when Johnson was asked to serve on a committee to meet a conference committee of republicans in an endeavor to select a candidate for president upon whom both parties could unite, he declared from the platform that the only message he had to send the republican convention was to tell it to go to hell. He served on the committee, however, agreed to the nomination of Charles E. Hughes by both parties, then returned to the progressive convention, and his voice was the loudest in the hall in repudiating the action of the committee and demanding the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt on a third ticket for the sole purpose of defending republican convention. The party's devotion to principle made it possible to elect those delegates by a majority of 40,000. The same men and women who selected those delegates met again on July 29 to choose a party candidate for U. S. Senator. So the same California republicans who gave us Hughes also gave us Willis H. Booth. Willis H. Booth is the spokesman for the party in our state; he stands sponsor for principle as a guide to political action. That is why his candidacy is receiving everywhere such emphatic approval. THE UNITED STATES SENATORSHIP For the past twenty-five years there has been a law in California, unwritten in the statute books, but recognized by all parties as binding, that the northern and southern portions of the state should each be represented at Washington by a United States senator. In former years, before the development of the south, the northern section, with San Francisco as the center, dominated the state, and had absolute control of its politics. But the rapid development of the south, both in population and wealth, changed this situation, and since the election of Senator Stephen M. White, it has been a rule, by mutual agreement, that the southern portion of the state should name one senator and the northern section one. California is a large state—a long one, and there is no state in the Union where the industries are so diversified. The north and south depend upon entirely different products for their prosperity, consequently it is understood that each section should send a man to the senate in order that each should have a fair representation, in both parties could unite, he declared from the platform that the only message he had to send the republican convention was to tell it to go to hell. He served on the committee, however, agreed to the nomination of Charles E. Hughes by both parties, then returned to the progressive convention, and his voice was the loudest in the hall in repudiating the action of the committee and demanding the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt on a third ticket for the sole purpose of defeating Hughes and re-electing Woodrow Wilson. The other delegates acquiesced in Roosevelt's declination of the nomination, but Johnson refused to accept it. So determined was he to defeat Hughes and once more slaughter the republican party, that he journeyed to New York and made a personal appeal to the Colonel to allow his name to be used. Failing in his efforts and perceiving that the republican party was certain to triumph he returned to California and announced that he would support Hughes for the presidency. He also launched his candidacy for the republican nomination for United States senator. Johnson is the bitterest enemy the republican party in California ever had. During the past six years he has consistently combatted it, and has used every means in his power, scrupulous or unscrupulous to destroy it, and yet, knowing that he can only be elected to office with the aid of republican votes, he is brazenly asking the support of the party. Only last week his lieutenant, Chester Rowell, made a desperate attempt to have Johnson chosen as chairman of the San Francisco meeting at which Charles E. Hughes is to speak on the 19th. Failing in that he attempted to have him made presiding officer of the Los Angeles meeting. Failing in that also he turned his vulturative tongue loose on the republican central committee, and told Chairman Keesling and National Committee Crocker what he and his chief thought of them. It was a worthy Johnsonian trick, but it failed to materialize. The governor's stock is rapidly depreciating. As Governor Johnson sent his message to the national republican convention in Chicago in June, so let the republicans of California send the same message back to him. WILLIS H. BOOTH FOR SENATOR California is a large state—a long one, and there is no state in the Union where the industries are so diversified. The north and south depend upon entirely different products for their prosperity, consequently it is understood that each section should send a man to the senate in order that each should have a fair representation in that body. This unwritten law has been recognized and obeyed by politicians and statesmen for the past quarter of a century, and Hiram Johnson is the only man who has attempted to ignore it. According to his idea a precedent, a rule, a mutual agreement or a contract that stands in the way of Hiram Johnson's preferment should be ignored. Sectionalism has no claim where his interests are concerned. James D. Phelan, the present senator who has four years yet to serve, lives in San Francisco. Hiram Johnson, also lives in San Francisco, and with his election the South, with its great citrus orchards, its walnut groves, and its sugar factories, upon which the life of its business interests depend, would have no representative in the upper house of congress. But what does Hiram Johnson care for that? His interests are all in San Francisco, and the southern industries are of no consequence to him unless he can use them to further his political ends. The republicans of the southern end of the state have united upon Willis Booth of Los Angeles for United States senator. Los Angeles is entitled to name one of California's senators. It is the wealthiest and most populous county in the state. Its industries and ours are identical. Willis Booth is familiar with these industries and understands our need of protection for them. Hiram Johnson does not understand our needs and doesn't care a continental for the South and its industries, anyhow. His interests are in San Francisco. Besides by his own admission, Hiram Johnson is not a republican, and with our great sugar, citrus and walnut interests trembling in the balance as soon as the cessation of hostilities releases European ships for passage to our ports laden with these products, what we need is a representative in the senate who lives among us and will vote to protect us. Willis Booth's interests and our interests are the same. Hiram John- WILLIS H. BOOTH FOR SENATOR Asked what impresses him in his tour of the state seeking the republican nomination for United States senator, Willis H. Booth replies: "The fact that people are returning with amazing unanimity to principle as a guide to political action." It will be recalled by all who have read or heard of the state wide republican conference at the Palace hotel on July 29 that after the great gathering of representative republicans had endorsed the candidacy of Booth, he was called upon to speak and his first words were: "This gathering shows that political integrity is worth fighting for." Tremendous applause greeted that statement, for it struck the key note of the meeting. What was true of that conference Booth finds to be true of the people throughout the state whom that conference represented. They have been so outraged in their political feelings by Governor Johnson's attempt to invade the party he was recently trying to wreck that they are now insisting on principle as the guide of their leaders in political action. That is why the real republican party of today in California—the party which is sincerely supporting Hughes and Booth—is a reinvigorated party. Principle as a guide to political action controlled the men and women who met in conference some months ago to select delegates to the national THAT'S THE PRICE THE ONLY EXCLUSIVE $1500 SUIT HOUSE In Orange County And the Best on Earth for the Price. JACKSON'S Men's Wear Shop Fisher Bldg. Anaheim THAT'S THE PRICE SENATOR STONE OBJECTS TO USELESS EXPENDITURES One of the noticeable and somewhat important features of the present political situation is that the democrats are frequently excusing or openly condemning some of the policies of the Wilson administration. Members of the senate and of the house have come to realize that Wilson's popularity and his consequent strength are not what they were two years ago and that they cannot hope to win their own elections by merely shouting for Wilson. On the contrary, they can now see that when the November race The chief value of the Hughes' speech of acceptance lies not so much in the information it contains as in the picture and impression it gives the American people of the man behind the speech. In the coming election as never before, we shall vote for men—not words. In the three years just past we have learned the futility of voting for empty promises. We have had a demonstration of the uselessness of catchy phrases backed only by a weak and vacillating personality. The American voter today is reading between the lines to find the quality of The residence of W. M. Wellman at the corner of Placentia avenue and Center street, was burglarized Sunday while the family was attending the camp meeting at Huntington Beach. Several suits of clothes, several dresses, a hat, kodak and a grip were taken. There was a quantity of jewelry in plain sight but the burglar refused to take it. J. T. Johnson was a pleasant caller at this office Monday and reports everything moving along nicely. Mr. Johnson formerly resided at Fillmore, where he has a host of friends and keeps posted on current events there by reading the local paper. Fillmore is a hustling little town and has many enterprising citizens. Deputy Marshal Chambers picked up a slumbering plasano on Sunday morning who was peacefully recovering from an overdose of aguadiente the previous night. The fellow was propped up against a tree on the Central grammar school grounds and was sawing wood at a lively rate. Chambers had difficulty in getting the Cholo to navigate and was tempted to secure a wheelbarrow to deliver his freight at the lock up. He succeeded in steering the unsteady hombre to Center street, where Deputy Germann assisted in putting the man in cold storage. Monday morning he drew five days. A Mexican and a white had imbibbed too freely Saturday evening wound up their frolic by having a scrap, the white getting the worst of the mill, by annexing a pink and blue eye that resembled a slab of liver. He was at a loss to account for it as he was much bigger than the Mex, and the only reason given was that perhaps he carried too much ballast. The Mex was agile and shifty and put his what important features of the present political situation is that the democrats are frequently excusing or openly condemning some of the policies of the Wilson administration. Members of the senate and of the house have come to realize that Wilson's popularity and his consequent strength are not what they were two years ago and that they cannot hope to win their own elections by merely shouting for Wilson. On the contrary, they can now see that when the November race has ended, the man who is hanging to the coat tails of Woodrow Wilson will be too far in the rear to be a winner. Senator Stone, of Missouri, who, however, does not come up for election this year, is one member of the democratic side of the upper house of congress, who has recently taken a fling at the executive branch of the government for its violation of the pledge of simplicity and economy. While the agricultural appropriation bill was under consideration and the item for purchase of automobiles was up for action, Senator Stone condemned in scathing terms the extravagance of the departments in the purchase and use of automobiles. Stone declared that for many years he has traveled about the city of Washington on business connected with his office and has used the street cars, walked, or paid his own auto bills. He could see no reason why the well paid officials of the executive departments should not do the same. While he did not call particular attention to the democratic pledge of simplicity, he must have had it in mind when he condemned the "snobbery exploited at the public expense." While the Stone speech may help Stone when he comes up for reelection, it won't help President Wilson win votes in November, 1916. TUMULTY WRITES TO NOLL H. P. Noll, president of the board of trade recently sent a telegram to President Wilson urging him to use all his power to avert the threatened railroad strike, on the ground that a tie-up now would mean the practical ruination of many of the orange, lemon and sugar beet growers. Yesterday morning he received a letter from Joseph Tumulty, private secretary to the president, to the following effect: White House, Washington, Aug. 11 My Dear Sir:—Permit me to acknowledge receipt of your telegram of Aug. 10 and to say that I shall bring Mrs. Alton Shepherd and daughter, Edna of Pasadena, are spending the week with her daughter, Mrs. Chas. Heinrichs. W. A. Mattox, representing the Western Gas Engine Corporation was in town Tuesday on a business mission. Mrs. W. H. Houts and Mrs. John Cook, with their children, are spending some days at Laguna Beach. Joe Hessel and family returned on Monday from Bay City, where they spent the week. In the information it contains as in the picture and impression it gives the American people of the man behind the speech. In the coming election as never before, we shall vote for men—not words. In the three years just past we have learned the futility of voting for empty promises. We have had a demonstration of the uselessness of catchy phrases backed only by a weak and vacillating personality. The American voter today is reading between the lines to find the quality of the man, and when he read the Hughes speech he was impressed with the sincerity, the dignity and the stability of the speaker. It was a straightforward statement of facts and discussion of issues, without any of that impulsive extravagance of utterance which has so often led Mr. Wilson into humiliating retractions and reversals. There was no play to the galleries. It was the thought, the feeling and the language of the statesman, rather than of the mere politician. It was gratifying and encouraging, therefore, to those millions of Americans who have become tired of speeches made merely to catch votes and who earnestly desire as the head of this nation a man who will represent sound economic policies at home and who will maintain the rights and prestige of the United States and its citizens in every land and on every sea.

The Mex was agile and shifty and put his man out with ease. The officers gathered them in and the recorder put on the finishing touches at the sunrise court Monday morning. John S. Malcom of this city and Miss Edna Bovard, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. George Bovard, were married at the home of the bride in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the father of the bride officiating. According to Los Angeles society reporters the wedding was a fashionable affair. The ceremony was performed in a large bay window at the end of the living room, and here beneath a canopy of flower-studded asparagus, from which were graceful baskets of pastel tinted blossoms, the vows were spoken. The dining room was charming in golden and white dahias, while the bride's table bloomed like a garden in dainty Lady Bankshire roses, tall silver candelabra, shaded by vivid yellow tulle, casting a pretty light. After returning from a honeymoon tour the couple will make their home in Anaheim. Jack Hebson the popular telegraph operator at the Santa Fe depot is laid up this week with a bad cold.

The recent Wilson concessions concern only a tariff policy for dyestuffs and sugar, but the proposed anti-dumping legislation, by which the administration hopes to restrain dangerous imports, is none the less a measure of protection. Speaking of history, here is a part of what Mr. Wilson had to say in his chapter on trade after the war in 1812: "ePace changed the very face of trade. English merchants poured their goods once again into the American ports so long shut against them by embargoes and war." "It was manifestly injurious to every young industry that a flood of English imports should continue to pour into the country at the open ports. The remedy was a protective tariff, such as Mr. Hamilton had wished to see at first, and the young republican leaders of congress did not hesitate to advocate and establish it." Horace Greeley has written of the same period: "Great Britain poured her fabrics, far below cost, upon our markets in a perfect deluge. Our manufactures went down like grass before the mower; agriculture and wages for labor speedily followed. Financial prostration was general and the presence of debt universal. In New England fully one-fourth of all property went through the sheriff's mill, and the prostration was scarcely less general elsewhere." American industry is too firmly established to suffer such prostration again, but the damage possible under low tariff would wreck the new prosperity of labor, even though it locked few mill gates. British tactics for ruling war commerce have given us a picture of the commercial fight we shall have to make for foreign markets after the war. The best beginning of any fight is protection at home. We don't want to be on the defensive. An aggressive foreign policy has been a demand often heard lately. An aggressive foreign trade policy is fully as necessary to the well being of the country.
