BORDWELL WILL NOT BE ON THE BALLOT SUPREME COURT DECIDES THAT CANDIDATE HAD RIGHT TO WITHDRAW DECISION HARD BLOW TO CANDIDATE HIRAM JOHNSON AND HIS HENCHMEN Judge Walter Bordwell's name will not appear on the republican ballot in the August primaries. Thursday afternoon the State Supreme Court issued a writ of mandamus directing that his name be stricken from the official ballots, Justices Angelotti and Lawlor dissenting. Several county clerks who are still under the control of the Johnson machine have announced that they would have the name of Walter Bordwell printed on the official ballots, despite the mandatory decree issued by the Supreme Court. They say that this decree was directed against the Clerk of Orange County only, and is not binding on other counties. Notorious among these are E. E. Pfund of Sacramento and George Gross of Alameda. Judge Bordwell went to San Francisco personally to see that his name was legally stricken from the ballots. He has answered the challenge of the machine-ridden county clerks by instituting proceedings against every county clerk in the state, with the exception of McAleer of Los Angeles, to THROWS HOT SHOT AT CONGRESSMAN KETTNER Chairman Democratic Central Committee of San Diego tells Why he Opposes Him Charles E. Burch, chairman of the democratic county central committee of San Diego county, was in town last week. Mr. Burch is the man who started the revolt against William Kettner which resulted in the candidacy of Charles C. Crouch for the democratic nomination for congressman. Burch prepared the resolution denouncing Kettner which was signed by fifteen of the twenty members of the central committee. Burch is the man who went to Washington in the interest of the committee's candidate for postmaster at San Diego, and was told by Kettner that he was holding that job open for himself in case he was defeated for re-election. "We have Kettner on the run," declared he. "Charles C. Crouch, dry democrat and a real democrat, too, is going to beat William Kettner for the democratic nomination. That San Diego post office affair was really the culmination of a long line of incidents. Taking all these incidents together, a course of treatment toward the upbuilding of the democratic party in our county was pursued that convinced us that Kettner was building up a Kettner machine for Kettner instead of assisting in building up the democratic party. "I am opposing Kettner, first because he is not a democrat," he continued. "He is what I call a renegade democrat, a democrat for revenue only. I openly accuse him of putting in a lot of time at Washington trying to sell John D. Spreckels' real estate to the government.

Having left his number of years country knew decree was directed against the Clerk of Orange County only, and is not binding on other counties. Notorious among these are E. E. Pfund of Sacramento and George Gross of Alameda. Judge Bordwell went to San Francisco personally to see that his name was legally stricken from the ballots. He has answered the challenge of the machine-ridden county clerks by instituting proceedings against every county clerk in the state, with the exception of McAleer of Los Angeles, to restrain them from using his name. The decision of the supreme court followed closely the line of argument of Judge Bordwell's attorneys. The court held that, as there was nothing in the law which forbade the withdrawal by a candidate before a primary, the withdrawal became a question for the candidate himself to settle. District-Attorney West of Orange county presented the argument against the withdrawal of Judge Bordwell's name, but his brief was prepared in the office of the Attorney General. Mr. West was acting for County Clerk Williams, who wanted to eliminate Bordwell's name, but declared he had no authority to do so after it had been certified to him by the secretary of state. The test suit consequently was filed against Williams and West acted as his attorney. Before the suit was brought Attorney General Webb rendered an opinion to the effect that Bordwell's name could not be eliminated. When suit was brought Mr. West called upon the Attorney General to appear in person and support his opinion. This the Attorney General declined to do, holding that it might appear that he was taking too personal a part in the controversy. But this did not prevent him from having the brief prepared in his office and handed to West to present to the court. The fight of the administration to keep Judge Bordwell's name on the ballot is a repetition of the scheme which put the united republican ticket at the head of the no-preference column in the May primary. The administration clerks were willing to fly in the face of a decision of the Supreme Court and still carry Bordwell's name, hoping that it might pick up a few votes that would otherwise go to Williams H. Booth, the republican candidate. One of the earliest of the insurgents in congress, among the first to take a stand at Armageddon and one of the our county was pursued that convinced us that Kettner was building up a Kettner machine for Kettner instead of assisting in building up the democratic party. "I am opposing Kettner, first because he is not a democrat," he continued. "He is what I call a renegade democrat, a democrat for revenue only. I openly accuse him of putting in a lot of time at Washington trying to sell John D. Spreckels' real estate to the government. He tried to get through the sale of North Island, claimed by Spreckels, to the government for $2,000,000. When I was in Washington I heard a prominent official say that the government has a claim to the title to that island, and it ought to go into court and take it. In San Diego, Kettner works with the Spreckels crowd. "We are fighting Kettner because he is not a Wilson democrat. In all the wining and dining that has been done at San Diego, never once has Kettner had a word of praise for President Wilson. Down at San Diego today two sets of democrats are running for central committee. One set call themselves Kettner democrats. We tell them we are glad to have them class themselves, for we are Wilson democrats. "C. C. Crouch is going to be the democratic nominee for Congress. He is going to beat Kettner right in San Diego 1000 votes. The condition that exists in San Diego in relation to Kettner's treatment of the democratic organization exists in El Centro and San Bernardino. I am convinced that this district is not going to send a wet man back to congress. As a democrat, I want to see a democrat elected. I am absolutely convinced that if Kettner gets the democratic nomination that Harbison will be elected, for Harbison is dry and Kettner is wet. Crouch is dry, just as dry as he can be. He can be elected, while Kettner cannot."

Booth, the republican candidate. One of the earliest of the insurgents in congress, among the first to take a stand at Armageddon and one of the last to leave the battle line is Former Senator Beveridge of Indiana. He is now numbered among those who have shared Mr. Hughes' hospitable board and who have yielded to the power of the republican candidates's character and charm. "The progressive party as an organized national party" says Mr. Beveridge, "no longer exists. People have many opinions as to the causes that produced this condition, but it is useless to discuss them, for the fact itself stares us in the face. I have known Mr. Hughes for several years and admire his ability, integrity and courage. He is above all else a straightforward man, trustworthy and dependable. He means what he says and says what he means. I trust him, like him, am his friend and shall support him." A dispatch from Salt Lake says the stockholders of the Salt Lake route, at a special meeting there ratified unanimously the proposal to change the official name of the road from San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railway company to Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad company. The name was changed because the city of San Pedro has been incorporated in the city of Los Angeles and because the initials "S. P." caused confusion in routing shipments. The stockholders also amended the articles of the company to provide for an extension of the line from Pico to Santa Ana.

Hughes favors woman's suffrage, the Olive Circle, a social organization for women who reside at Olive, passed a resolution indorsing Mr. Hughes for President of the United States. This indorsement was given after an address by Mrs. Thomas, wife of Dr. J. D. Thomas, a dentist of Philadelphia. Mrs. Thomas owns a splendid orange grove and is also financially interested in the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company. She is an ardent suffragist, and is intent upon making a campaign through the women's clubs of Orange county in favor of Mr. Hughes. She has sent out an appeal to the clubs to follow the example set by the Olive circle and its twenty-five members. Mrs. Thomas for six years was president of the Woman's Suffrage Society of Philadelphia, the oldest suffrage organization in the United States. Olinda Man Gets Wad:— Edward Pereira, a pumper for the West Coast oil company, on Tuesday received word that through the death of an uncle in Wisconsin he had fallen heir to $35,000. The news came as a complete surprise to Mr. Pereira, as he had not learned of his uncle's death and besides he was not expecting the good fortune of becoming the beneficiary of any estate. Pereira's uncle died last spring and left an estate valued at $135,000 to be divided equally with four heirs, the Olinda man being one of the fortunate quartet. Having left his Wisconsin home a number of years ago, few in that country knew of Pereira's present THE TEXAS PRIMARY The recent primaries in Texas furnish anything but cheerful reading for administration supporters, and since the first news has been fully confirmed the democratic committee has been working overtime. The word from Texas that jarred the White House from cellar to attic, was simply this—five members of Congress who were seeking renomination and trying to ride to victory on the coat-tails of the president, were defeated, and former Governor Colquitt, the most pronounced critic of the administration in the South, lead the race for the nomination for United States senator. In December, 1914, while he was still governor and before the Mexican trouble had reached anything like its recent acute stage, Mr. Colquitt expressed his opinion of the Wilson administration, and in writing. "The Wilson administration," he wrote, "has been the greatest failure in the history of the presidency. Its foreign policy has been imbecile. Its repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemption in violation of the party's national platform was another weak surrender to England. The Wilson-Bryan management of the Mexican affair has been an egregious failure. They landed an American army in Vera Cruz to force Huerta to salute the flag, and have brought it back without getting the salute. What did it accomplish? It set all Mexico alfame against the Americans, not only Mexico, but in Texas. It brought on a reign of terror all along the Texas border. Wilson and Bryan have stood by encouraging one gang of bandits after another, while people were being butchered all over Mexico." Nor did the governor serve his he had not learned of his uncle's death and besides he was not expecting the good fortune of becoming the beneficiary of any estate. Pereira's uncle died last spring and left an estate valued at $135,000 to be divided equally with four heirs, the Olinda man being one of the fortunate quartet. Having left his Wisconsin home a number of years ago, few in that country knew of Pereira's present whereabouts and a search for him had continued since May. His address was finally provided by an old friend who is at present postmaster at La Crosse, Wis. Ruiz Going Blind:— Should Edward Ruiz, who is now in the county hospital suffering from four bullet wounds, two in the head and two in his back, recover, he will never be able to revenge himself on Eugene Hernandez, the man whom he believes did the shooting. Ruiz is losing his eyesight and probably will never see again, in the opinion of Dr. Harry Zaiser, superintendent of the hospital. Ruiz's condition continues to surprise physicians who have had charge of him since he was taken to the hospital last Tuesday. His death has been expected at any minute since he reached the hospital, but in spite of the fact that part of his brain has been shot away his condition continues to improve. Two of the bullets which entered Ruiz's body have been located. There is still one bullet in his head and another in his back. The bullet in his head cannot be reached with a five-inch probe. This has been used several times in an effort to locate the bullet. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim. Such language as this made Colquitt persona non grata to the administration, to put it mildly; and in the primary all that the president could do and all that his numerous cabinet officers and other prime favorites from Texas could do was done to beat the out-spoken ex-governor. The administration's first favorite was Congressman Bob Henry; but when it became evident that he was lagging in the race, the White House changed its mind with usual facility and transferred its affections and its support to Senator Culberson. Nevertheless, Colquitt leads Culberson by more than 20,000 and Henry is a bad third. In addition, five democratic representatives who bore the distinction of being fairhaired boys at the White House found themselves unable to get across for another term. The result is not without its effect on Capitol Hill at Washington. Up there many a congressman who was planning to go back home and ask for another term on the ground that he had "stood by the president" is now wondering if he would be better off if he could find another slogan.

Both the 16 and 20 guage is as high as the 12 guage, as is usually the case. There has been a 10 cent advance on these shells from 85 to 95 cents a box. In metallics there has been a change in every thing. A box of 22's, that sold for 15 cents, costs 20 cents, the 40 cent 22 specials are worth 48 cents and so the change in price is noted by every hunter.
