UNCERTAINTY IN CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS DEMOCRATS CLAIM THEY WILL ELECT THREE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE DOPSTERS SAY THAT KETTNER WILL BE DEFEATED FOR RE-ELECTION Never, perhaps, in the history of the state has a congressional campaign been in a more chaotic condition than that waged by the republican party just three weeks before the national election. The registration of the state is overwhelmingly republican and the sentiment of the electors is strongly in favor of a return to the former republican tariffs and a policy of preparedness that will protect the Pacific coast from possible armed invasion. But the new republican state central committee named by the candidates at the Sacramento convention, is lending support to the opponents of the regular republican nominees for congress in five of the eleven congress districts. The democrats are claiming that they will elect Lea in the First Congress district, Raker in the Second, Church in the Seventh, Kettner in the Eleventh, with a fighting chance for Kennedy in the Third district. They also claim a half intrest in Randall in the Ninth and hint at a secret understatedly with the republicans in the last congress. Denver S. Church, democrat of Fresno, is seeking to repeat; but the odds in the poolrooms are in favor of his republican opponent, W. W. Phillips. This district is strongly republican in registration and the progressives are supporting Philips, whose campaign seems to be in fine shape. E. A. Hayes is a strong favorite for re-election in the Elighth district; but he has the whole force of the administration, including the republican state central committee to fight. George S. Walker, one of the good dogs on the administration pay roll, is running against Hayes as a progressive. He has the prohibition indorsement. Walker has been striving to make some kind of a dicker with the democrats, but he has not made any marked success because Hayes carries the democratic endorsement. Walker tried for the republican nomination, but was badly beaten. While running as an independent, Charles W. Bell is regarded as the real republican candidate in the Ninth congressional district. His opponent, G. H. Randall, carries three other party indorsements like so many disguises to conceal the fact that he is in reality a prohibitionist. In congress he can be relied upon to find out which party has the most votes, and forecasts of the East, the democrats are claiming him as one who can be counted upon to help them organize the next house. Few in the north believe that William Kettner can repeat as a democrat from the Eleventh congressional district. This district has more to ask of Congress in the way of protective legislation than any other in the state, and it is hard to believe that she electors will continue to return democrats to congress. Kettner's promises to secure democratic support for California tariffs were shown in the last con- at the Sacramento convention, is lending support to the opponents of the regular republican nominees for congress in five of the eleven congress districts. The democrats are claiming that they will elect Lea in the First Congress district, Raker in the Second, Church in the Seventh, Kettner in the Eleventh, with a fighting chance for Kennedy in the Third district. They also claim a half interest in Randall in the Ninth and hint at a secret understanding with Benedict in the Tenth district. The republican state central committee is making no claims, except that a progressive candidate, carrying republican endorsement, is certain of election to the United States senate. The committee is pledged to support Hughes and Fairbanks, but the pledge went no farther than that. The republican candidates for congress find in several districts that members of the republican state central committee are actively campaigning against them. Edward H. Hart of Marion county is the regular republican candidate in the First congress district. The whole force of the state administration, the power that named the republican state central committee, is thrown back of Clarence F. Lee, the democratic candidate. Hart is persona non grata to the administration because he has always been a republican. This district is now represented by Congressman Kent, originally elected as a republican. After Kent reached Washington he, naturally, went over to the side which had charge of the pie counter. The fight in this district will be close, as the democrats are strong in the northern counties. In the Second district John E. Raker, the incumbent is opposed by J. T. Matlock, republican. Raker is strong in this district, which has been carried oftener in recent years by the democrats than by the republicans. It is a strong anti-prohibition district, however, and Raker lost much of his former support by favoring in Congress national prohibition. The registration of the district is republican, and such old time republicans as R. S. Taylor and Dick Collins are making a lively campaign for Matlock. Both sides claim the district. Congressman Curry, a stalwart republican, is a long odds favorite to succeed himself in the Third district. His democratic opponent, O. W. Kennedy has the support, however of the Few in the north believe that William Kettner can repeat as a democrat from the Eleventh congressional district. This district has more to ask of Congress in the way of protective legislation than any other in the state, and it is hard to believe that she elects will continue to return democrats to congress. Kettner's promises to secure democratic support for California tariffs were shown in the last congress to be worthless. Tammany Hall draws heavily for election expenses on the Italian importers of New York, adn repays its debts by swatting the California citrus fruit tariffs. R. B. Harbison of San Bernardino, the republican nominee, is regarded as a certain winner. A conservative estimate of the outcome of the congressional campaign at this time would give the republicans the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh congressional districts; the democrats the Second district, the prohibitionists the Ninth district, while the Second and Seventh districts are doubtful, but probably republican. The Ninth district is the only one in which the republican indorsement for congress did not go to a registered republican. Walker and Benedict are the only candidates who, if elected, would go as progressives to Congress; but there appears little prospect of either winning. TURN, BOYS, TURN, WE ARE GOING BACK! America has been fortunate in the possession of statesmen, poets and soldiers who expressed the true spirit of the nation in epigrams that are an inspiration to the youth of this and of every other land where love of liberty has taken root. From the day when Patrick Henry shouted "Give me liberty or give me death" national honor and safety have been placed above individual ease. Determination to defend inherent rights was expressed in the motto of one of the colonial flags "Don't tread on me." Secretary of State Charles C. Pickney voiced the sentiment of the entire American people when he announced that this nation has "Millions for defense," but not one cent for tribute. George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were lovers of peace, but they counted upon to help them organize the next house.

The registration of the district is republican, and such old time republicans as R. S. Taylor and Dick Collins are making a lively campaign for Matlock. Both sides claim the district. Congressman Curry, a stalwart republican, is a long odds favorite to succeed himself in the Third district. His democratic opponent, O. W. Kennedy has the support, however of the state administration. He runs a democratic daily paper in Sacramento: His paper commenced to support Johnson for the senate as soon as Kennedy received the democratic nomination. In return for this he is receiving the administration support. This is strong in Sacramento county, which the administrations controls through its payroll brigade. Curry is receiving no support from the state central committee; most of the members from this district are for his opponent. In the Fourth (San Francisco) district the reelection of Julius Kahn, stalwart republican, is conceded. The progressives are not for him, but they fear to fight him in his district. They tried that three times before and were always badly beaten. In the Fifth (San Francisco) district the re-election of John I. Nolan also is conceded. He is registered as republican and carries the democratic endorsement. Nolan's first allegiance is to the labor unions. He will vote with the republicans in congress—provided they have a majority without him and do not need him. Otherwise he will be consuming pie on the democratic side. J. A. Elston has his fight well in hand in the Sixth (Alameda) district. He is registered republican and carried the progressive endorsement. He is an administration man, but voted death" national honor and safety have been placed above individual ease. Determination to defend inherent rights was expressed in the motto one of the colonial flags "Don't tread on me." Secretary of State Charles C. Pickney voiced the sentiment of the entire American people when he announced that this nation has "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute." George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were lovers of peace, but they filinched from no duty. The former declared that "to be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." The latter pleaded "Let us have faith that right makes might, and dare to do our duty as we understand it." Though young in years and experience, the American navy won victories because commanded by men who could stand upon sinking hulks and declare "I have just begun to fight" or who could cry with their last fleeting breath "Don't give up the ship." From such men came a final message "We have met the enemy and they are ours." Our poetets have recognized that this cannot be "the land of the free" unless it is also "the home of the brave." There was no watchful waiting in the message of U. S. Grant: "No other terms than unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted. I propose to move immediately upon your works." The largest plurality ever recorded for a candidate for the presidency was polled for the man who preached "not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life." It has remained for the latest of national leaders to teach the world that America is "too proud to fight," but unless all signs fall, we shall follow the command of Phil Sheridan who ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26 1916 H.

PRIZE BOY FARMERS START ON JOURNEY Twenty-Four California Youngsters Go Forth in Search of Ideas Inquest of new ideas in good farming, the twenty-four champion boy farmers of California have set forth on a 9000 mile journey. They won this month's trip in a special car by defeating eleven hundred competitors in the University of California's annual crop growing contests for high school agriculture clubs. In reward for such achievements as that of Aubrey Williamson of Brentwood, who netted $95.90 from a single acre of fetteritat by raising three times as much of this sorghum to the acre as the California average, or Logan Biscoe of Madera, who fed two pigs so that in 210 days they gained 478 pounds, these boys are to be led by Prof. B. H. Crocheron of the university on a visit to the most famous orchards, breeding farms, and agricultural industries of America, so as to bring back to California the stimulation of knowledge of the best methods in farming in other parts of the country. The university's object is to help train leaders for country life in California. After attending a two day state convention at the university farm at Davis, where 350 prize winners from the boy's high school agriculture clubs of California were present, and spending a day at Berkeley, where the boys were welcomed to the university at exercises in the Greek theatre, taken underground into the experimental mine, and to the top of the 300-foot Sather Campanile, the 24 champions left Berkeley in a special car. After a daylight ride on Monday, Oct. 16, past Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen, the only active volcano in the United States, Tuesday was devoted by their itinerary to seeing flax fields and gen- York and have a morning visit to the Bronx Zoological Park and an afternoon automobile ride to Grant's Tomb and to Central Park.

Tuesday will be spent in seeing citrus orchards and other crops in the region of Los Angeles, where more wealth per acre per annum comes out of the ground than anywhere else in America. Tuesday night, November 14, the boys will scatter to their homes.

This is an average of ten and a quarter tons per acre. Taking an average of seven and a quarter tons of sugar beets to produce one ton of sugar. The state of Colorado leads in production with 160,800 acres yielding 1,820,000 tons of beets, this is an average of 11½ tons of beets per acre. Michigan comes third with a production of 1,071,000 tons of beets; Utah comes fourth, Idaho fifth and Ohio sixth. California comes second with ten sugar factories in operation in 1915. There were 111,691 acres planted to sugar beets yielding 1,254,826 tons of beets producing 195,118 tons of sugar. An average of 11 55-100 tons per acre, taking an average of 6½ tons of beets to produce one ton of sugar. On one place at Mountain View 95 acres in sugar beetts averaged 21 tons per acre. A CONFESSION The friends of President Wilson admit the weakness of their candidate when they persist in wanting to know what Hughes would have done. The query is a confession that the president has made a mess of hings. If they were satisfied with his course they would point to it with pride, but they are not and they know that others are not satisfied. They do not undertake to justify what he has done in Mexico, for example. They fall back on the lame expedient of asking what some one else would have done that might be more satisfactory. What Mr. Hughes would have done is not at issue. As the papers have pointed out before, it is idle to discuss how he would have met conditions that never would have developed under different handling. The interesting fact now is not what any one else would have done, but what President Wilson did do. Even his supporters tacitly acknowledge that he bungled, and they are asking the public to overlook that fact and return him to office. They convict their own candidate when they attempt to fasten on his opponent some of the embarrassment that is theirs.
