Volume XXXXVI CHEER JOHNSON AT GREAT G.O.P. MEETING GOVERNOR RECEIVES OVATION BY PACKED AUDIENCE AT OPERA HOUSE MASTERFUL PRESENTATION OF POLITICAL ISSUES MEET WITH WARM APPROVAL If the greetings that Governor Hi-ram Johnson has received in his campaign tour throughout the state were as spontaneous and enthusiastic elsewhere as they were in Anaheim he has ample reason for his statement that Hughes and Fairbanks will sweep the state by an overwhelming vote, and that the present governor will be the next United States senator from California. After speaking at Fullerton and Orange Monday the governor arrived at Anaheim in the evening and of militia California made the highest record of any state. "You and I," he declared, "stand for America first, American protection, and American preparedness. We would not create a military class or cast, but we believe in an adequate force for protection. California is the last rampart on this hemisphere, and it may be necessary for us to fight for her protection. You and I do not want war, but we would wrap that flag around every citizen and make it a buckler and a shield against any foreign foe." Speaking of the inefficiency of the Wilson government he told of the handling of troops after they had come under the command of the federal authorities. "We sent 360 cavalrymen down to the border," he declared, "and those boys never saw a horse during the time they were at the front. We sent a company of machine gun operatives to the front, an the boys did not see a machine gun while they were there. We shipped a number of cannon to the Rio Grande for the defense of our border. The guns were taken by the government to one point, the carriages to another and the wheels to still another, and they have never yet been close enough together to be assembled. Gen. Pershing and his troops were sent 200 miles into Mexico and are still there living VOTERS OF J.G.I. REC POPULAR ASSEMBLY HAVE OVERWATCH JORITY IS HIS CAREER AS ER REMEMBER PLE OF Although there is less uncertainty as the people will be generally conceived of J. C. Burke from Orange county Mr. Burke was given jority of any republican election, made in the assemblage term has increased Mr. Burke grew manhood in this sealand his life during known to most of Johnson has received in his campaign tour throughout the state were as spontaneous and enthusiastic elsewhere as they were in Anaheim he has ample reason for his statement that Hughes and Fairbanks will sweep the state by an overwhelming vote, and that the present governor will be the next United States senator from California. After speaking at Fullerton and Orange Monday the governor arrived at Anaheim in the evening and was escorted to the Hotel Valencia where a reception was tendered him and a banquet given in his honor at 6:30. Prominent Orange county republicans accompanied him, among them being Assemblyman J. C. Burke, Walter Eden, E. E. Keech and others. Escorted by the Anaheim City Band a procession left the hotel for the opera house where an audience that packed the room to its utmost capacity received the governor with enthusiastic cheers. Walter Eden, chairman of the republican county central committee, called the assemblage to order and presented the chairman of the evening, Richard Melrose. In a five minute speech Mr. Eden predicted that the united republican party of Orange county would roll up a tremendous majority for its candidates. "I only made the acquaintance of Governor Johnson today," said he, "but since meeting him and hearing him talk I am not surprised that the people of California support him." Chairman Melrose in introducing the speaker, made a short but pithy speech. "When I cast my first vote in 1873," he said, "I was told that we had reached a crisis in the affairs of the nation. I have been told the same thing in every general campaign since then, but I believe that we never faced a greater crisis than we are facing this fall. The solution of the great questions and difficulties confronting us rests upon the election of Hughes and Johnson. Whatever our distinguished guest has been in the past, he has always been successful, and he is going to be the next senator from California. The Bible tells us that whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. I have not always been a supporter of Gov. Johnson, but I feel in a chastened spirit tonight. When I look back over the accomplishments of the state government during his administration I do not find a single law that I would have wiped out." When Mr. Melrose introduced the governor the large audience jumped We sent a company of machine gun operatives to the front, an the boys did not see a machine gun while they were there. We shipped a number of cannon to the Rio Grande for the defense of our border. The guns were taken by the government to one point, the carriages to another and the wheels to still another, and they have never yet been close enough together to be assembled. Gen. Pershing and his troops were sent 200 miles into Mexico and are still there living in holes in the ground for their own protection because they are forbidden to perform the mission upon which they were sent." The governor paid a glowing tribute to Charles E. Hughes, the republican nominee for president. "We are loyal to Charles E. Hughes," said he. "I saw him wage war against the bosses in New York state. The fight he made required nerve, it required nerve to go into Darkest America politically—New York—and make the fight he did there. He won. I saw him control for the first time in New York the great public utilities. I saw him make the fight in New York for political freedom—the primary. He has stood always for the higher ideals and I believe his record there will bring to him the support of California. He was the premier in New York for all the great improvements we have made in California. The governor declared that the republicans had stood for a protective tariff policy from the genesis of the party. This is the transcendent issue that confronts us in California. Speaking of his own candidacy for the state senate he referred to what had been accomplished in California during the past six years. "It is my ambition to write the glorious history of California into the laws of the United States. The political difference that separated us ended at the August primary. We are looking forward now to the issue that confronts us on the 7th of November. We do not believe there is any doubt of the result on that day. The people are inspired by the spirit of America, inherited from our ancestors, and they are resolved to redeem this country from the misrule of the present government and make it what it should be." He spoke at the high high school auditorium in Fullerton at 10 o'clock Monday morning where C. C. Chapman presided. The schools were dismissed in order that the students could the people will be generally concerned of J. C.

When I look back over the accomplishments of the state government during his administration I do not find a single law that I would have wiped out." When Mr. Melrose introduced the governor the large audience jumped to its feet and gave him an enthusiastic cheer, then remained standing while the band played "The Star Spangled Banner." Mr. Johnson spoke for almost an hour, and he fully sustained the reputation he has acquired as one of the country's most brilliant orators. He devoted most of his talk to the short-comings of the Wilson government and a navvocacy of the election of Charles Evans Hughes. The vacillating policy of Woodrow Wilson with regard to Mexico was shown up, and as the governor has been in a position to know inside facts he gave to his audience some new drops for the already overflowing cup of humiliation which has been handed to the American people. He told of the mobilization of the California troops at Sacramento, and spoke of the high courage of the boys who lined up for the defense of the country when the call came. Many of the boys, he said, left wives and small children at home, but not one flinched when the call of duty came. One man had six children, but he refused to take advantage of the privilege of dropping out and remaining at home. Comparing the California method with the Federal government's system he stated that within two weeks after the order came the state troops were mobilized and ready for the front, but it took the United States government seventeen days to move a body of regulars across the Rio Grande. In the mobilization not believe there is any doubt of the result on that day. The people are inspired by the spirit of America, inherited from our ancestors, and they are resolved to redeem this country from the misrule of the present government and make it what it should be. He spoke at the high school auditorium in Fullerton at 10 o'clock Monday morning where C. C. Chapman presided. The schools were dismissed in order that the students could hear him. "There was a time," said Chapman, "when we thought we should have a man from Southern California represent us in the United States Senate, but we now are all agreed that no one knows the needs of the entire state better than does Governor Hiram W. Johnson. One of the peculiar things about the governor is that he always gets what he goes after. We need many things in Southern California and throughout the state, and he will get what we need. He is big enough to cover the entire state, and when we tell him our needs he will get them for us." He also spoke at Orange at 3 o'clock, passing through Anaheim after the Fullerton meeting, and returning in the evening. He remained at Valencia Monday night, leaving for San Diego the next morning. Many prominent people from Anaheim and other sections of the county met him at the hotel after the speaking. An alarm of fire Saturday morning got the department out and sent the boys as far west as the brewery. It proved to be only some burning pitch, and the blaze was extinguished without much trouble. Ted Stevenson and Horace Fine were in the city Monday keeping tab on the dolings and sayings of Governor Johnson.

NEW OLIVE BANK Guests From Various ed by th Anaheim Gazette Anaheim, California, Thursday, Oct. 26 1916 VOTERS APPROVE OF J. C. BURKE'S RECORD POPULAR ASSEMBLYMAN WILL HAVE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY IS PREDICTION HIS CAREER AS AN ORANGE BUYER REMEMBERED BY PEOPLE OF ANAHEIM Although there is always more or less uncertainty as to what the will of the people will be on election day, it is generally conceded that the re-election of J. C. Burke as assemblyman from Orange county is foreordained. Mr. Burke was given the largest majority of any republican candidate at the last election, and the record he made in the assembly during his first term has increased his popularity. Mr. Burke grew from childhood to manhood in this section of the county, and his life during that period is well known to most of the people in this and Anaheim as guests, the First National Bank of Olive held its opening reception Saturday afternoon. Presenting an appearance of shining mahogany and marble, the new Olive bank is an institution of which many much larger places might well be proud. The visitors were greatly impressed with the attractiveness of the bank's quarters, and wished the institution success. The interior of the bank is designed with careful attention to convenience and taste. The fittings are in mahogany with marble base. The vault, with the managnese steel time-lock safe, the directors' room, and the bank equipment were all inspected by the visitors. Each visiting lady received a chryanthemum and each gentleman a cigar. At noon the bank entertained the stockholders and their wives at a luncheon at the Olive hall. About fifty were present. A delicious chicken dinner was served by the ladies of the Olive Sewing circle, who had charge. The hall was tastily decorated for the occasion. President Thomas addressed the guests, discussing community development and urging cooperation in working for the advancement of Olive Cashier K. V. Wolff spoke on business cooperation and pointed out various ways in which the business interests DEATH SUMMONS A PROMINENT CITIZEN CAPTAIN L. R. WILLIAMS PASSES AWAY WHILE VISITING FRIENDS WAS A VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR, HAVING SERVED FOUR YEARS IN A BATTERY Only three weeks ago Captain and Mrs. L. R. Williams left on an extended visit to their old home at Pittsburg, Pa., intending to spend several months with friends, but a telegram was received by Judge Frank Shanley Sunday, announcing the sudden death of the captain at the home of his brother in that city. The cause of his death was not given, but it is believed to have been unexpected, as he left here in excellent health, and was looking forward to an enjoyable visit. The long journey to Pittsburg probably exhausted him, as he was nearing his petual less head never surrendered.

Willis Anaheim lying cried centa s Crowthe Saturday medical the people will be on election day, it is generally conceded that the re-election of J. C. Burke as assemblyman from Orange county is foreordained. Mr. Burke was given the largest majority of any republican candidate at the last election, and the record he made in the assembly during his first term has increased his popularity. Mr. Burke grew from childhood to manhood in this section of the county, and his life during that period is well known to most of the people in this region. One of the industries in which he engaged at an early period was buying oranges before the co-operative companies secured a foothold in the business, and an incident in his career as an orange buyer is still remembered by growers hereabout. He was buying for a Los Angeles firm, and shortly after purchasing the season's crop of a West side grower for something better than two thousand dollars, he received a hint, or grew suspicious, that the firm was doing a shady business and was about to declare itself insolvent. He went to the Westside grower and advised him to go to Los Angeles immediately and demand payment for his oranges. The man went up to the city and asked the manager of the company for his money. "Come in tomorrow," said the manager, "and I will pay you." "That won't do, either. I want it now." Finding that the persistent Anaheimmer was bent on having his money without further delay, or making an appeal to the law the manager of the firm paid him, but the next day the firm was declared bankrupt. Burke's refusal to be even a silent party to a honest deal saved one of his customers more than two-thousand dollars and proved to everybody in this section that he is a square dealer. Before leaving this neck of the woods and moving to Santa Ana to become a lawyer, a politician and a statesman, Burke was known as one of the greatest sportamen in the country. He was one of the most enthusiastic ball players this ball playing region ever produced, and as a rooter he had no equal. It is said that on various occasions he has rampaged up and down the coach line from first base to the home plate and talked the opposing team out of a rame. People BRY WILLIAMS IS EXTREMELY BUSY MAN Printing Great Register and Mailing Sample Ballots to Voters County Clerk W. B. Williams has been the busiest man in Orange county for the past few weeks, and his deputies and assistants have also been having a strenuous time. In addition to getting out the great register, to which Mr. Williams gives his personal attention, his office has been mailing sample ballots to the 24,704 registered voters in Orange county. These ballots are accompanied by literature explaining the seven amendments and initiative propositions to be voted upon on November 7. In the matter of the great register Mr. Williams gives his personal attention to the printing and reads all the proofs. This is a prodigious job this time, owing to the heavy increase in registration, but as he O. K.'s the proofs and is responsible for the correctness of the work he insists upon giving it his personal attention. The Gazette has been engaged the past two weeks in printing the great register for the 35 precincts composing the third supervisor district. There are 7884 registered voters in the district, practically one-third of the county, and as one occupation, the postoffice and the street address of each must be given the job is a large one. The office worked night and day including Sunday and Sunday night, but the job was completed Monday. AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS RETURNS TO COUNTY Former Resident of West Orange Sees About fifty were prescent. A delicious chicken dinner was served by the ladies of the Olive Sewing circle, who had charge. The hall was tastily decorated for the occasion. President Thomas addressed the guests, discussing community development and urging cooperation in working for the advancement of Olive. Cashier K. V. Wolff spoke on business cooperation and pointed out various ways in which the business interests of the community are related. The luncheon and reception were an unqualified success and reflected credit on the management of Olive's new institution. Captain and Mrs. Williams came to Anaheim to reside eight years ago. Previous to moving here to make this their permanent home they had made frequent visits, as they were intimate friends of Mr. and Mrs. Shanley and Mr. and Mrs. P. R. Donahue, all former Pittsburgers. They fell in love with the town and its surroundings, and built the residence on East Center street which has since been their home. The captain was head of a line of steamboats on the Ohio river, but before coming to Anaheim he turned the management over to younger heads and retired from business. Three years ago he told the writer that after retiring from business he and his wife went forth to seek an ideal spot in which to live, and they found it in Anaheim. There were associations in Pittsburg still dear to them, he said, but they preferred to live in Anaheim. Captain Williams took a prominent part in Grand Army affairs, and he will be sadly missed by the few remaining comrades of Malvern Hill post. At the outbreak of the Civil war he listed in the Fifth Pennsylvania heavy artillery, which was attached to the 22nd corps, a part of the Army of the Potomac. He served through the war in the Eastern army and engaged in most of the big battles in which army participated. He saw four years of terrific war, and participated in many of the great battles in which the Army of the Potomac was engaged. He was with Sheridan in his famous raid through the Shenandoah valley. One of his objects in going east was to attend a reunion of the survivors of the battle of Cedar Mountain, held in New York, but the journey was so strenuous that he was unable to attend, and stopped at Pittsburg. Three years ago Captain Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Doanhue went back to Pennsylvania and attended the reunion on the battlefield of Gettysburg. Three weeks ago, on the day before Before leaving this neck of the woods and moving to Santa Ana to become a lawyer, a politician and a statesman, Burke was known as one of the greatest sportsmen in the county. He was one of the most enthusiastic ball players this ball playing region ever produced, and as a rooter he had no equal. It is said that on various occasions he has rampaged up and down the coach line from first base to the home plate and talked the opposing team out of a game. People who have heard him orate since he became a public speaker can easily believe that. It was Burke who discovered Walter Johnson, the greatest ball player in the world. He was a gangling, long-limbed, overgrown youth at that time, but Joe recognized the quality of the metal that was in him, so brought him to Anaheim where he rubbed elbows with real ball players for awhile, and began to learn something of the game. Johnson soon grew too big to remain a busher, but Joe Burke was the man who headed him toward the big leagues. Legislators seldom have an opportunity of making a reputation during their first term but Mr. Burke made a record that Orange county is proud of and during the next term will take a prominent place in the law-making body of the state. He is a straight republican but is not bigoted, and the reason he made such an excellent race in his first campaign is that hundreds of democrats who knew him personally and have had dealings with him know him to be true-blue, conservative and just. NEW OLIVE BANK HAS AN OPENING Guests From Various Points Entertained by the Officials With about one hundred visitors from Orange, Santa Ana, Los Angeles AFTER FIFTEEN YEARS RETURNS TO COUNTY Former Resident of West Orange Sees Many Evidences of Improvement Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bolce have arrived from Kansas City, Mo., and will locate permanently in this city. Mr. Bolce is associated with the Stewart Packing Co., which will probably erect a large packing house here in the near future. He represented the Southern California Citrus Exchange at Cincinnati for seven years, and later represented the exchange for five years at Kansas City. Fifteen years ago he resided at West Orange, and was well and favorably known throughout the county. He finds many evidences of advancements and improvements in the county, and is especially impressed with the fine system of paved highways. When he lived at West Orange that was not a foot of paved highway in that section, and county roads were in many places almost impassable. Now, he finds a magnificent system of state and county highways, as well as many miles of paved treads in the cities of the county. When the next issue of the Castle Rock (Washington) Advocate appears it will be printed on shingles. Representative Albert Johnson of the Third Washington congressional district will edit the paper. The object will be to prove that paper is higher priced under the Wilson administration than shingles, which are admitted from Canada free from duty. TWO NERVY YOUTHS INTERVIEW GOVERNOR Ask Re-Appointment of Adjutant Thomas and he gets the Place Ralph McFadden and Ted Stevenson interviewed Gov. Johnson at the Valencia hotel on Monday evening in reference to the re-appointment of Adjutant General C. W. Thomas, who resigned his office last summer to accept a commission as Major General in the U. S. Army. Gen. Thomas went to the border with the California militia, and served as major general in command of a division of troops. Mustering out of national guardsmen from a number of states, including those from California resulted in the disbanding of the general's division, and he was automatically relieved of his command. He will return to California. McFadden and Stevenson were classmates of Thomas at Stanford, where he was known as "Rough House" Thomas, because he believed in per- One of his objects in going east was to attend a reunion of the survivors of the battle of Cedar Mountain, held in New York, but the journey was so strenuous that he was unable to attend, and stopped at Pittsburg. Three years ago Captain Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Doanhue went back to Pennsylvania and attended the reunion on the battlefield of Gettysburg. Three weeks ago, on the day before he left for the east, the captain paid a visit to this office. He stated that he was nearing his 75th birthday, and on that date he would begin drawing an increased pension. "I don't need it," he said, "but I shall make application for it, as I earned it by my services in the war." The A trained by Champon noon. Orated, being unent, there SEPTEMBER 10, 1916 GZette.

The sabburg probably was nearing his petual preparedness, never struck unless he was compelled to do so, and never struck soft. The two gentlemen while conversing with the governor at the hotel, put in a word for their old classmate, and the governor replied that he was holding the place open for him. If this item should meet the eye of General Thomas, he will know that the governor is all right for him. Since the above was placed in type a report reaches this office that the governor has re-appointed Thomas to be Adjutant General of the California militia. Should anyone in Orange county be desirous of obtaining a favor from the governor all they have to do is to consult with Ralph and Ted. The governor is on their side. They have got him going. WILLIAM CROWTHER STRICKEN WITH APOPLETIC FIT Lying Very Ill at His Home On Placentia Avenue William Crowther, president of the Anaheim Union Water Company, is lying critically ill at his home on Placentia avenue, northeast of town. Mr. Crowther was stricken with apoplexy Saturday morning, and while prompt medical aid was summoned as soon as ROYAL RECEPTION GIVEN GOVERNOR HIRAM JOHNSON HONORED GUEST FETED AT A SPLENDID BANQUET AT HOTEL VALENCIA REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS OF ORANGE COUNTY GREET DISTINGUISHED VISITOR One hundred representative citizens of Orange county met Gov. Hiram Johnson at an informal reception in the lobby of the Hotel Valencia on Monday evening, preparatory to attending the banquet in the cafe given in honor of the distinguished visitor. Many of the gentlemen present, those of whom who had not previously had the pleasure of meeting the governor, were impressed with his magnetic personality, and to know him is to like him. Governor Johnson is a leader of men, and in many quarters the fact William Crowther, president of the Anaheim Union Water Company, is lying critically ill at his home on Placentia avenue, northeast of town. Mr. Crowther was stricken with apoplexy Saturday morning, and while prompt medical aid was summoned as soon as his condition was discovered, his condition has not improved. He was on the lawn during the morning hours, and feeling ill retired to his room. At 10 o'clock, when the morning paper arrived, it was taken to him by a member of the family, but he failed to respond to the knock at his door. On investigation he was found on the bed speechless. A physician was summoned and declared he had been stricken with apoplexy. Three weeks ago Mr. Crowther celebrated his 79th birthday. He is a man of remarkable vitality who has enjoyed excellent health, and his numerous friends hope that this will enable him to overcome the sudden attack that has stretched him on a sick-bed, and enable him to regain his usual robust health. SHEEP PROTITABLE HERE The day was twenty-five or thirty years ago when California was one of the leading sheep states in the country. She should come to her own again in sheep production. Los Angeles is one of the greatest lamb markets in the country; and instead of sending to distant states for our lambs, we should raise them nearer home, says Louis Penwell of the San Clemente Sheep Company of California. "The sheep business of today," he adds, "offers the greatest opportunity for profit of any business in the United States. Prices are high and the demand is outstripping the supply. The shortage cannot be overcome in the next generation. The same condition has been allowed to obtain in other sheep producing countries, due partly to the settling up of vast ranges of South America and Australia. The American sheep man has been the first to recognize that if production is to keep pace with the consumption, intensive methods must be adopted to meet these conditions. These conditions can easily met in California or Orange county met Gov. Hiram Johnson at an informal reception in the lobby of the Hotel Valencia on Monday evening, preparatory to attending the banquet in the cafe given in honor of the distinguished visitor. Many of the gentlemen present, those of whom who had not previously had the pleasure of meeting the governor, were impressed with his magnetic personality, and to know him is to like him. Governor Johnson is a leader of men, and in many quarters the fact is undeniable that he stands for the best interests of the masses. His record, the past six years, as governor of this great commonwealth, has been a wonderful epoch in molding legislation that has set the state of California politically free. At the banquet table H. V. Weisel acted as toastmaster, and he said, while there were many able speakers present, he would refrain from calling upon them for a speech, but said there was one present whom he desired to be heard and he introduced his old-time friend, Hon. Joe C. Burke. Hearty applause greeted that gentleman as he arose to address the assembly. Mr. Burke said, that while throughout the state a reorganized and rejuvenated progressive republican party had sprung up, here in Orange county we would go the rest of the state one better, and add the appellation—reunited. The speaker said the principles of the republican party stand for all that is good for the people and since the party is now reorganized, rejuvenated and reunited, he asked everybody to vote for the republican ticket on the 7th of November from top to bottom, and he emphasized the last word, because his name will there appear as a candidate for reelection as assemblyman from this district. Mr. Burke's friends in this section are legion and that he will roll up a large majority on Nov. 7th admits of no doubt. The toastmaster, in introducing Gov. Johnson, said he looked upon him as an ideal as a statesman, and believed the people of California would make no mistake in sending the governor into a wider field to there work for the interests of the people as he has so ably done here while occupying the gubernatorial chair. Governor Johnson refrained from making any set speech, reserving his political address for the meeting to be held later in the opera house. The governor thanked the people of Orange county, and especially the citizens of Anaheim, for the kindness and Captain Williams went back and attended the re-education of Gettysburg. The day before he stated that with birthday, and began drawing the said, "but I am on for it, as places in the war." HS NEW GOVERNOR of Adjutant meets the Place and Ted Stevensonenson at the Vaday evening in appointment of N. Thomas, who got summer to accuse Major General men.

The shortage cannot be overcome in the next generation. The same condition has been allowed to obtain in other sheep producing countries, due partly to the settling up of vast ranges of South America and Australia. The American sheep man has been the first to recognize that if production is to keep pace with the consumption, intensive methods must be adopted to meet these conditions. These conditions can be easily met in California, because here it is possible to raise immense crops of alfalfa and other forage crops suitable for the feeding of sheep on a comparatively small area. One acre of irrigated alfalfa, for instance, is capable of sustaining ten sheep throughout the year. Small farmers are discovering that they can purchase a few old ewes cheap, and in a short time reap a good profit. An old ewe that would possibly perish on the range could be bought for $4. She would produce an early lamb that would sell to the butcher for $6 to $7 and the same time grow $2.50 worth of wool. In her fattened condition she would sell for $5 to $6, leaving a profit of at least $9.50, as it would not cost more than $2.00 to keep her a season. Mr. Penwell, besides being one of the big sheep men of Montana, where his holdings are said to amount to 100,000 sheep, has recently leased San Clemente Island for twenty years. On this island there are 18,000 to 20,000 sheep, hence his views on sheep raising are those of an expert and should carry weight. The Alpha Beta Chi club was entertained by Mrs. Burkhart at her home on Chartress street Thursday afternoon. The house was artistically decorated, yellow chrisantheums and ferns being used. Eight guests were present, the hostess serving luncheon in the evening. Governor Johnson refrained from making any set speech, reserving his political address for the meeting to be held later in the opera house. The governor thanked the people of Orange county, and especially the citizens of Anaheim, for the kindness and cordiality shown him upon his short visit within our gates. He said he felt grateful for the honor conferred upon him and assured his auditors that the occasion was one long to be remembered. Governor Johnson stands in a class by himself as an orator and a defender of the people's rights, and indulged in many witticisms and anecdotes in addressing the large gathering of banqueters. In a facetious way he told of the ludicrous positions in which many embryonic young orators found themselves while speaking at gatherings such as this, and told of these incidents in a vein of humorous nature which afforded the banqueters much amusement. Gov. Johnson complimented the citizens of Anaheim for the clean and beautiful little city which is rearing its head in this matchless section and he said he was glad to be once again among us. While Gov. Johnson's remarks were brief, and while many had met him for the first time, all intuitively felt as though their acquaintance had been of long standing. Hearty handclapping greeted the speaker as he concluded his remarks, and the guests dispersed, all going to the operahouse to listen to the distinguished visitor, where he made one of the best speeches ever heard in this city. The Anaheim city band discoursed several popular selections beneath the marquet at the hotel entrance.
