ESTABLISHED 1874 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 SENATORSHIP Charles E. Hughes, republican candidate for the presidency, spent four days in California during his tour of the west, and departed with the assurance that the republican party will sweep the state overwhelmingly in November. Mr. Hughes crossed the northern boundary line Friday morning. He traveled the entire length of the state, and everywhere he met with an ovation, countless thousands of people gathering to greet him, to listen to his message, and to pledge him their support, recognizing in him the man who is to relieve us of the humiliating, destructive and tolerable policies of the present government at Washington. What Mr. Hughes saw during his brief sojourn here must have convinced him that California will not only give him an overwhelming majority, but it will also send to Washington a United States senator and eleven congressmen in accord with his ideas, who will assist him in re-enacting the laws that made America prosperous and great, and upholding him in restoring the policy that made its name respected abroad. One of the regrettable incidents of the presidential candidate's trip through California was the efforts of the friends of Governor Johnson to tion, but Hiram Johnson, who acknowledges that he is not a republican, is endeavoring to hoodwink the republican voters into placing him on their ticket. Booth has the endorsement of the state central committee. He was unanimously chosen as the party's candidate by a state convention at which 1216 votes were cast. Although registered as a progressive, acknowledging that he is a progressive, therefore an enemy of the republican party, Hiram Johnson is endeavoring to defeat Mr. Booth and secure the nomination on the republican ticket, giving him both the progressive and republican nominations. One of the weaknesses of our primary law is that a man may run for the same office on all the tickets if he is a smooth enough politician to secure the nomination of all parties. At Redlands Monday night Johnson made the statement that, although the progressive party had ceased to be a factor in national politics, its principles still lived and he was their advocate. As the progressive platform which he assisted in making is entirely different from the republican declaration of principles, Johnson's cheek in asking the republicans of California to support him is unparalleled. He is working two wires, however, by which he hopes to succeed. He is depending upon the dry vote in the South and the wet vote in the North. Charles E. Hughes will be elected president of the United States, but it is necessary that both houses of congress should be in accord with him if the country shall reap the benefit of a restoration of republican laws. The political strength of the two parties in the senate might possibly be so close that the senator from California would hold the balance of power. Repub- California will not only give him an overwhelming majority, but it will also send to Washington a United States senator and eleven congressmen in accord with his ideas, who will assist him in re-enacting the laws that made America prosperous and great, and upholding him in restoring the policy that made its name respected abroad. One of the regrettable incidents of the presidential candidate's trip through California was the efforts of the friends of Governor Johnson to attach that gentleman to the party. Chester Rowell was particularly active and attempted to have Johnson selected for the chairmanship of the Hughes meeting at San Francisco. When the matter was presented to Mr. Hughes, he refused to take sides, leaving it in the hands of the state central committee. Mr. Hughes is anxious to see a republican senator sent to Washington from California, and he knows that Johnson frantically fought at the Chicago progressive convention for the nomination of a third candidate for the sole purpose of defeating Hughes and electing Wilson, that for six years he has sought to destroy the republican party in California, and that he is registered as a progressive and will vote that ticket at the primary next Tuesday. The attitude of Governor Johnson towards the republican party should at once be stamped with disapproval of every loyal republican; no denunciation can be too strong in condemning such an attitude. Willis H. Booth seeks the nomination of only one party—the republican party, to which he belongs and to which he owes his political allegiance, the party with which he is affiliated, and he has the endorsement of the republican candidate for the presidency and is recognized by him as the only republican candidate. The defeat of Mr. Booth at the republican primary election will mean the disfranchisement of every republican voter at the final election, because if Governor Johnson is nominated as a republican, every republican voter will be deprived of the opportunity to vote for a republican candidate for United States senator. After Chester Rowell had failed in his efforts to have Johnson selected as chairman of the Hughes meetings in San Francisco, the governor threw off his mask and displayed his true colors. On the night Hughes spoke in San Francisco, Johnson not only R. C. HARBISON FOR CONGRESS Republican voters, when they cast their ballots at the primary election Tuesday, should not fail to remember that R. C. Harbison is the recognized republican candidate. There will be other names on the ticket for this office, but Mr. Harbison was nominated at an open convention of republicans at San Diego in which nearly 300 delegates from the various counties of the district participated. After a spirited contest he received the unanimous endorsement of the convention. He is a republican only. No other party has leading strings attached to him by which he could be controlled or hampered should he be elected. He and Charles E. Hughes stand side by side on the republican platform, and will work in harmony should both be elected. Mr. Harbison is familiar with the citrus, sugar, walnut and other industries of this district, and their protection would be his chief concern should be sent to congress. Republicans, don't make a mistake in marking your ballot. Vote for R. C. Harbison for congressman. The Gazette accepts no political advertising which attacks the character of opposing candidates. We this week declined to publish an advertisement from the prohibition candidate for congress, attacking R. C. Harbison, the republican nominee. We accept political advertising, but draw the line at personal attacks upon the character... Johnson is nominated as a republican, every republican voter will be deprived of the opportunity to vote for a republican candidate for United States senator. After Chester Rowell had failed in his efforts to have Johnson selected as chairman of the Hughes meetings in San Francisco, the governor threw off his mask and displayed his true colors. On the night Hughes spoke in San Francisco, Johnson not only refused to attend but was holding a meeting elsewhere. On the night Hughes spoke at Los Angeles the governor was making a political speech at Redlands. Although he is seeking the republican nomination for United States senator he refused to hear the party's candidate for the presidency when he passed through his own state. Hiram Johnson assisted in the creation of the progressive platform at Chicago which denounced the republican party. Now, two months later, he is asking the republicans of California to elect him to the most important office within their gift. Willis H. Booth, candidate for the senate, and R. C. Harbison candidate for congress, are the only two candidates for congressional offices on the ballot next Tuesday who stand upon the republican platform which Charles E. Hughes so eloquently endorses. Republicans, don't be mislead by specious argument. In voting for members of congress you are voting for your party, for your principles and for your business interests. Lay personal preference aside and vote for the men who stand on your platform. BOOTH FOR SENATOR The most important proposition confronting the republican men and women voters at Tuesday's primary election is the nomination of a United States senator. Willis H. Booth is the only republican seeking the nomina- The Gazette accepts no political advertising which attacks the character of opposing candidates.

MOLYBDENUM AND NICKEL DISCOVERIES IN CALIFORNIA In view of the interest in metals entering into war supplies, two concise reports of the department of the interior, written by F. C. Calkins, of the United States geological survey, on molybdenite and nickel ore in San Diego county, are timely. Mr. Calkins describes clearly the modes of occurrence of the ores and gives helpful suggestions for further development work and prospecting. The molybdenum prospect is in a dike of fine grained granite containing an average of much less than 1% of the mineral molybdenite. Only one prospect has been located thus far, but the surrounding country is favorable for the discovery of others. The nickel deposit is an irregular body in a dark igneous rock and is shown to have an origin similar to that attributed by most geologists to the famous deposits at Sudbury, Ontario. The nickel occurs in an iron nickel sulphide and assays more than 4% of nickel have been obtained. Copper is also present in quantities ranging from a trace to 2.4%, and conditions are favorable for the presence of platinum. WANTED—A ranch hand, familiar with all kinds of orchard work.

WILSON AND TEXAS The defeat of administration candidates in the democratic primaries in Texas cannot possibly be interpreted into meaning the loss of the electoral vote of Texas to Wilson—but it is highly symptomatic of the state of mind in that portion of the country where the administration's Mexican policy is best seen and appreciated. And what Texas thinks about it may be found in every other state in some degree. There is no doubt that the Mexican question will loom large in this campaign. It is the biggest and most acute of the problems which infest our foreign relations; and out of it have grown all the complications of our intercourse with European nations since the war began. If Wilson had displayed a firm determination to deal effectively with Mexico, he would have had a background for his notes and notification to Germany and England. But whenever Westminster or the Wilhelmstrasse received a near-ultimatum from Washington they were able easily to recall the flasco of Vera Cruz and if they dealt less brusquely with our communications than Huerta did it was only because they were better educated than the sturdy old Indian was. At Indianapolis, in January, 1915, Mr. Wilson undertook to treat the Mexican problem with levity. He spoke of himself as sitting back and laughing about it. Since then he has shed crocodile tears over the bodies of the men of the navy who were killed at Vera Cruz and he has absented himself from the funerals of officers and men who met a treacherous death at Carrizal. Just now his mood must be anything but humorous as he traces the path of our b.tter humiliation since he first took on his grouch against Milk, large size, per can, only 6c 65c Pin Head Green Tea, only 50c 65c English Breakfast Tea, only 50c 2 Sacks Table Salt 5c Oysters, per can 8c 3 Boxes Matches 10c 4 Boxes E.

According to press reports, President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor proposes to attack the record of Candidate Charles Evans Hughes toward labor, and to plead the cause of President Woodrow Wilson in the coming campaign. President Gompers will offer evidence in support of his attack the judicial attitude of Mr. Hughes in the Danbury Hatters’ case. Regardless of Mr. Hughes’ holding in that case, and it is generally admitted that it was not subversive of the just rights of labor. It should be borne in mind by every laboring man in this country that Mr. Hughes will associate justice of the United States Supreme Court was performing his sworn duties in interpreting Federal statutes as presented before his court. For the passage of those statutes he was in no wise responsible. It was his sole function to determine their legal application to the cases at bar to the best of his ability. To have shown favoritism to either side would have been a cowardly and criminal violation of his oath of office. The attitude of Mr. Hughes while on the Federal bench, as of all members of that august tribunal, was, and wages. Labor is standardized by the trades unions, and this is the standard to which it is made to conform. No one is suffered to do more than the average workman can do. In some trades and handicrafts no one is suffered to do more than the least skillful of his fellows can do within the hours allotted to a day’s labor, and no one may work out of hours at all or volunteer anything beyond the minimum. I need not point out how economically disastrous such a regulation of labor is. It is so unprofitable to the employer that in some trades it will presently not be worth his while to attempt anything at all. He had better stop altogether than operate at an inevitable and invariable loss. The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under its present regulation by those who have determined to reduce it to a minimum. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants." Labor will have its own jury service to perform in considering the merits of the two candidates for the presidency, and this is part of the evidence against Woodrow Wilson. J. S. Edwards of Redlands, dry candidate for congress, will speak at the pavilion east of the Masonic Temple tonight. Mr. Edwards is the prohibition candidate, and is also contesting with R. C. Harblison for the republisher. Mr. Wilson undertook to treat the Mexican problem with levity. He spoke of himself as sitting back and laughing about it. Since then he has shed crocodile tears over the bodies of the men of the navy who were killed at Vera Cruz and he has absented himself from the funerals of officers and men who met a treacherous death at Carrizal. Just now his mood must be anything but humorous as he traces the path of our bitter humiliation since he first took on his grouch against Huerta. THE GHOST OF THE EMPTY TREASURY Congress has been hampered greatly by the ghost of the empty treasury. This ghost has risen up at every juncture and pointed its uncanny finger at every progressive statesman who has risen in the halls of congress and proposed remedial legislation. This ghost has stood before the preparedness champions and given their opponents a club with which to strike them over the heads. This ghost has confronted every senator or congressman who has dreamed of a merchant marine to carry our goods to the ports of the world. In fact, this ghost has been for over two years, and is now, a frightful nightmare to the nation, and has caused the large majority of our citizenship to lose confidence in the powers that be. What will remove this incubus from our fair country? What will drive this specter from our vision? What will put us on our feet once again and enable us to look the nations of the earth squarely in the face and say we are a model for you to pattern after? A protective tariff will rejuvenate our industrial life. A protective tariff will fill again our empty treasury. A protective tariff will give our progressive statesmen capital with which to promote legislation. A protective tariff will enable us to stand up before all the world and boast that we have the best government ever instituted for the government of mankind.

For the passage of those statutes he was in no wise responsible. It was his sole function to determine their legal application to the cases at bar to the best of his ability. To have shown favoritism to either side would have been a cowardly and criminal violation of his oath of office. The attitude of Mr. Hughes while on the Federal bench, as of all members of that august tribunal, was, and should be— The cold neutrality of an impartial judge. Any deviation from that position would subject the highest court in the land, and rightly so, to the suspicion of all classes and sections of the country. Failure on the part of our supreme court judges to interpret statutory legislation without fear or favor would render that bulwark of our constitutional liberties a hot house for the propagation of class control and destroy our republican form of government. For this reason President Gompers' attack on Mr. Hughes for his holding in the Danbury Hatters' case will make no appeal to the intelligent laboring men, union or non-union. On the other hand, we have as a matter of record, the baccalaureate sermon of Woodrow Wilson, delivered to the students of Princeton university, June 14th, 1909. At that time Mr. Wilson was not a candidate for the Presidency. He had no political axe to grind. He felt at liberty to speak freely the thoughts that were in his mind. He was addressing several hundred young men who were going out into the world, and whose thoughts had been molded by Prof. Wilson in the class room. Everyone of those young men left his alma mater with these words ringing in his ears: "You know what the usual standard of the employee is in our day. It is to give as little as he may for his full of unprofitable servants." Labor will have its own jury service to perform in considering the merits of the two candidates for the presidency, and this is part of the evidence against Woodrow Wilson. J. S. Edwards of Redlands, dry candidate for congress, will speak at the pavilion east of the Masonic Temple tonight. Mr. Edwards is the prohibition candidate, and is also contesting with R. C.

The bond issue is urged in the report of the finance committee democrats filed in the senate today on the $205,000,000 revenue bill. In addition to the proposed issue and the revenue bill, the finance committee asserts that further appropriation of $86,000,000 will be necessary to defray the expense of operations in the Mexican emergency if conditions on the border continue as they are now after December 31, 1916. The $130,000,000 to be provided by the proposed bond issue, the report says, will meet Mexican expenditures only till the end of this calendar year. Accompanying the finance committee majority's report submitted by Senator Simmons, was a general statement from the treasury department, estimating disbursements for the fiscal year 1917 at $1,126,243,000, and receipts, $762,000,000. "The total appropriations for the fiscal year 1917, exclusive of those carried in the so called shipping bill, which is to be defrayed by the issuance of Panama bonds, will exceed the appropriations for the fiscal year 1916 by about $469,000,000," says the report. In its analysis of the revenue bill as revised by the senate committee, the treasury department estimates that the annual revenues to be derived will be: From income tax, $109,500,000; inheritance tax, $20,000,000 for 1917 (after law is in full force approximately $65,000,000); munition manufactures tax, $40,000,000; miscellaneous, including beer, liquors, stamp taxes, etc., $35,500,000 a total of $205,000,000.
