WOODS ARE FULL OF POLITICAL TIMBER POLITICAL OBSERVER DISCUSSES DECLARATION OF THE VARIOUS GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES THINKS COMPOSITE MAN WITH ALL THEIR VIRTUES WOULD MAKE IDEAL GOVERNOR (By Joshua Aylott) Just to break the monotony of the weary grind of the qualifying heat in the race for county office, residents of the county seat, and those of other localities perhaps not so favored, have been given an opportunity these last few weeks of seeing and hearing a job lot of candidates for gubernatorial honors, the list including Messrs. Hayes, Heney, Rolph and Stephens, four of the eight who are willing to sacrifice themselves in the service of the dear people by filling the office of chief executive of the state. ing the possible antagonistic elements that everybody was seemingly satisfied and happy. The usual routine incident to such occasions was followed practically to the letter, the ceremonies including a most cordial address of welcome by Mayor A. J. Visel of Santa Ana, and o brief after dinner talk by Gov. Stephens, the guest of honor, after which adjournment was taken to Birch Park where the governor delivered a set speech on "Winning the War." A thumbnail impression of the merits of the various candidates brings the earnest desire that the best in each might be assembled in the person of one man, beginning with the very evident honesty of purpose of the incumbent and his earnest faith in the inherent goodness of human nature, added to the business ability and experience of Rolph as a man of affairs, the hirsute adornment of Hayes and the colossal gall of Heney. Wouldn't that combination constitute a superman? I guess yes.

Heney appeared first and took the opportunity offered by the assemblage of a crowd at the weekly band concert to get a good-sized audience to which he confided his alleged belief that the only fully equipped candidate in the bunch is himself, his modest declaration of faith being receive., however, with a lesser degree of exuberant exhilaration than was perhaps expected, although on the theory that silence gives consent, his claims for consideration were given practically unanimous endorsement. Candidate Hayes came next on the program and he also spoke to the band concert crowd at Birch Park and outside of his whiskers and some more or less vehement arraignment of conditions under the present state administration he had nothing new to offer. Mr. Hayes will probably be left at the post, but the best he can possibly expect is to be mentioned among the also rans. Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco, whose eleventh hour entry into the gubernatorial race bids fair to split the expected Heney strength in San Francisco and San Diego, played the next star engagement following Heney's appearance and he also timed his visit to catch the weekly band concert crowd to which he talked on a variety of subjects among which state or national prohibition was not included, although more than passing mention was made to his own record as mayor of the Bay City, his successful efforts towards winning the war as a ship builder and his all-round mental and moral equipment that should preeminently fit him to govern the state. So far as his outward and visible appearance goes, Mayor Rolph made very little headway here, except while breaking the speed limit on the county highway, for which little indiscretion he was arrested and brought before Justice of the Peace Cox, who weighed the evidence laid before him and with celerity, ease and precision levied a fine of $10, which was as promptly paid, the northern visitor JACKMAN PEEVED AT JOSH AYLOTT'S CRITICISMS Knows Things About Our Political Observer That He May Be Constrained to Tell Santa Ana, Aug. 2, 1918. Editor Anahcim Gazette: Will you grant me the privilege of answering through your columns "him" whom you designated as your "Observer" at Santa Ana, who signed "Joshua Aylott" as his name, to an article which was published in your paper on July 18, in which "Joshua" rather recklessly uses our name? We take it for granted that you will extend us this courtesy. Therefore as briefly as possible we will reply to some of "Dear Joshes'" statements. Forgive us if we first state that we believe that you are depending on a broken withered tree, in the person of "Joshua" in whom, and of whom, you so trustingly say "Whose information regarding political affairs in Orange county is always reliable and never to be questioned." Gosh, that's a faith that passeth all understanding. However, Mr. Editor, if you are satisfied with his prognostications, we will let it go at that and answer accordingly. What Josh has to say of Messrs. J. C. Metzgar, Frank Vegel, P. L. J. C. Metzgar, Frank Vegely, P. L. Tople, Ralph Fuller, and a few others we are not particularly concerned, knowing that they are amply able to care for themselves, and no doubt will do so on occasion. After Josh had ripped those people up the back, he had this to say of the writer: "Then there's our old friend Jackman, that Political Ishmaelite, whose tongue and pen are against all and sundry who fail to agree with him, including at all times and places what he is pleased to term the court house bunch. Don't forget Jackman, for he is very much in evidence just at present, and is as busy as a hen with one chicken in the effort to marshall his nondescript forces to enter the affray." If our forces are "Nondescript," we wonder what class Josh comes under. And also if Jackman is more Ishmaelitish, or in plain language, "if our hand is more against every man" than Joshua Aylott's, we are cer- Arrangements are made by Chairman F. others for the Fourth campaign which begins September 28. and ends October 19.

We have not commenced yet and our home p enough to take the would rather have tha moral equipment that should preeminently fit him to govern the state. So far as his outward and visible appearance goes, Mayor Rolph made very little headway here, except while breaking the speed limit on the county highway, for which little indiscretion he was arrested and brought before Justice of the Peace Cox, who weighed the evidence laid before him and with celerity, ease and precision levied a fine of $10, which was as promptly paid, the northern visitor taking the proceeding in good part and pungling up the cash with a smile. Governor Stephens arrived last Wednesday evening and was tendered a reception and banquet at Elk's Hall at which were present many prominent Santa Ana citizens, some not quite so prominent and a few who lay absolutely no claim to prominence but were there because they were there. But however they might be otherwise classified, it was apparent at a glance that they were all strong for Stephens and the heart of the candidate must have warmed at the visible signs of approving welcome given him. About one hundred persons sat at table, among whom were several former Progressives remembered as banner bearers in the ranks of "Christian Soldiers" during the troubled times of a few years ago when they made such elaborate and turbulent preparation for the final scrap at Armageddon, but these now hobnobbed with the most radical standpatters and apparently enjoying the lion and lamb stunt to the very limit, all of which would seem to augur well for the final results at the coming election. Hon. J. C. Burke was master of ceremonies and that prince of politicians showed rare diplomacy by so dispossessed times and places what he is pleased to term the court house bunch. Don't forget Jackman, for he is very much in evidence just at present, and is as busy as a hen with one chicken in the effort to marshall his nondescript forces to enter the affray." If our forces are "Nondescript," we wonder what class Josh comes under. And also if Jackman is more Ishmaelitish, or in plain language, "if our hand is more against every man" than is Joshua Aylott's, we are certainly a hummer. For to tell the truth Josh is one of the greatest "Aginnoro" in official life today, and our feeble efforts to show up the "court house bunch" are as nothing when compared with that of this great apostle of "Bull Headedness" and when he is smoked out and signs his own name, the one he inherited, we will be more than willing to abide the people's judgment as to who is the Ishmaelite. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, we wish to say that if our presumption is correct as to the identity of this "Joshua Aylott,"—and we believe that it is, as it sounds just like the "guy" that we have in mind—then there lays before us a "job" that will give us unalloyed pleasure, in further showing up Josh under his own name, in a now nameless election to come. Selah. S. J. JACKMAN. Telegraphic advices have been received by Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Clark, of Los Angeles, that thir son, Albert Clark, 28, had been seriously wounded upon the battlefield in France. Clark enlisted in the heavy artillery at the beginning of the war. The family formerly were well known residents of this city, where Mr. Clark was employed as a school teacher, but removed to Los Angeles where they have since resided.

L. Bisby and others for the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign which begins on Saturday, September 28, and ends on Sunday, October 19. Orange county is expected to raise $2,840,000, while Anaheim's quota will be $376,000, just double out allotment in the third drive.

In addition to that the tank Britannia, the formidable veteran of the war is stationed at the Park with its original crew, Captain R. Hailg and Sergeant Blunt, and maneuvers are held with it in sham battles. In fact these exhibits show the many terrible weapons used to destroy human life. The lesson to be learned from this exhibit is that we, who are allowed to stay at home should understand the necessity of subscribing liberally to the different bond issues that are offered by the government. It should show us the necessity for equipping our armies and our navies with the very best equipment possible in order to overcome the effect of these terrible death dealing instruments used by our foes. It is all right to give to the country our bone, blood, and sinew, but how much more necessary is it to give to our government the money to protect the lives of these of our own blood who have gone out to battle for ORANGE COUNTY MEN BADLY WANTED TWO THOUSAND NEEDED FOR OVER-SEAS Y.

Orange county is expected to raise $2,840,000, while Anaheim's quota will be $376,000, just double out allotment in the third drive. The chairmen and committee men have not yet been announced, but they will probably be practically the same as before. Anaheim has done its part nobly heretofore, and nobody should for a moment consider the possibility of failure this time. The same method of districting and organizing will be adopted as was used for the third loan, with the exception that the preliminary work will be more in detail. The district chairmen will pass the work down to subchairmen in arranging for the workers and their districts. After the solicitors have been named, their first duty will be to get the name and address of every person in their districts. The data will be turned into the office of the county chairman, where a card will be prepared showing the complete details of each resident's participation in financing the war through the purchase of bonds and War Savings Stamps. The cards will be turned back to the solicitors when the drive starts, and when they go out on their soliciting tour they will know just what the individuals they are to solicit have done. It was decided that the first committee to be appointed should be the vigilance committee. This is a very important committee and men who are well posted and who are not afraid to dig into financial slackers will be named. As soon as this committee is appointed the names of slackers who were under consideration at the end of the last drive will be turned over to it. Orange county has not fallen down yet in doing its part in backing up the fighting lads with the cash needed to give them every facility for wiping out the Huns, and I am confident that we will go over the top again," said Chairman Bisby. "The double quota for the coming loan means that everyone has got to buckle down and do his part. It means that those who bought of the last issue will have to double their purchase in the coming issue. We can do it. We have not commenced to feel the pinch yet and our home people are loyal enough to take the attitude that they would rather have the pinch come on offered by the government. It should show us the necessity for equipping our armies and our navies with the very best equipment possible in order to overcome the effect of these terrible death dealing instruments used by our foes. It is all right to give to the country our bone, blood, and sinew, but how much more necessary is it to give to our government the money to protect the lives of these of our own blood who have gone out to battle for the rights of humanity. Moral—Buy Liberty Bonds and lick the Hun. JUDGE SHANLEY'S WILL FILED FOR PROBATE St. Catharine's Orphanage Gets More Than $20,000 From Estate The will of the late Judge Frank Shanley was filed for probate Saturday by Attorney Leonard Evans, the Guarantee Trust & Savings Bank of Los Angeles, being named as executor. Two-thirds of the estate is left to his widow, the other third going to St. Catharine's Orphanage. This institution has educated and furnished homes for hundreds of orphans since its establishment, and Judge Shanley's generosity will prove a windfall to it. The petition states that the estate is valued at $62,000. The will, written on July 27, 1914, leaves two-thirds of the estate to the widow, Marla C. Shanley, and the other one-third to the orphanage, which is a Catholic institution. The executor is instructed either to invest the money for the orphanage, and pay it the interest or to use the money in the construction of buildings for the orphanage. RECORD PRICES A car of Valencia oranges from this county sold through the Orange County Fruit Exchange on the New York market last Tuesday, brought $4,270, a price hitherto unknown in the orange industry. There have been times in the past when a few selected boxes brought higher prices, but so far as records show, never before has a full carload netted such a sum. The car contained 186 boxes of "President" brand, which brought an average of $9.60 per box, and 276 boxes of "Senator" brand which averaged $9.40 per box. The car average was nearly $9.25 per box. The exchange is pardonably proud considering making application for service in Y. M. C. A. Many men are wanted from this county, and if you can measure up to the requirements you will be welcomed with open arms: A new report on war work has just reached the Orange County Recruiting Committee for Y. M. C. A. war work. Some startling facts stand out on its pages. The most glaring ones as summarized and amplified by a member of the recruiting committee, are as follows: First, 2,000 men must be supplied for over-seas during August. That means at least 100 from California in the next thirty days. The great majority of these will have to come from this southern part of the state, as the Sacramento and San Francisco end is a little bit slow in securing the men with certain necessary qualifications. It means a good, big bunch from Orange county, and while we have a lot of folks to pick from, the task seems to be a good deal like looking for a Number 1 trotting horse. So many seem to have everything requisite but—which usually proves fatal. The second item is a warning, and declares: "We are loaded to the gunwale with mediocre men of the colorless type, the men who lack initiative. They make good filling or a human ballast, but poor material for leadership and service in variety." The call continues: "Please call a halt on this sort of secretarial timber, for it is mighty expensive work sending them back home." The other three big headlines in this new report are, "Only men of outstanding ability with manly presence, founded on an established Christian character, and possessing physical endurance, capable of contending with hardships and privation, coupled with capabilities to do efficiently the definite tasks to which they are assigned. If you have this stripe of men under advisement, pass them along immediately, the more the better." These items in substance say: "We cannot use men, no matter how capable, if their past life has been spent in cigarette smoking, beer guzzling, whisky selling and poolroom bumming. If they have followed sharp practice in dealing or are accustomed to using vulgar and profane language, or have familiaarly scoffed at the church and religion in general, who lack the initiative for success in their various undertakings in the past, but who consider the Y. M. C. A. an easy..." wiping out the Huns, and I am confident that we will go over the top again," said Chairman Bisby. "The double quota for the coming loan means that everyone has got to buckle down and do his part. It means that those who bought of the last issue will have to double their purchase in the coming issue. We can do it. We have not commenced to feel the pinch yet and our home people are loyal enough to take the attitude that they would rather have the pinch come on them than to have it fastened to the gallant young manhood of the nation who now are on the battle fronts and preparing to go there to fight for a continuation of that liberty and freedom that we have enjoyed all our lives." For fear that many of the citizens of Orange County have not realized the import and value of the Allied War Exhibit now being held in Los Angeles, your attention is called to a few facts relative to same. We of the Pacific Coast are a little over six thousand miles from the scene of battle and consequently do not know as much about war munitions and war equipment as some of our Eastern brethren. The Allied Governments have shown a good deal of forethought in sending this exhibit to the Pacific Coast and it is well that each one of us should see it. At the Exposition Park in Los Angeles there is now being exhibited many things depicting the life "over there." There are hundreds of captured trophies, such as a spiked German anti-aircraft gun mounted on a wrecked auto chassis; there are great German field guns of 120 millimeters, one shot from which would wreck half a village; a huge Hun mine which is a great boiler-like affair which was taken from a captured THE FORDSON TRACTOR The newest valuable product that Henry Ford has given to the world is the Fordson tractor with which he has been experimenting for a number of years. This is the tractor that is being supplied to the British and French governments, and to the state war boards in this country. It has been thoroughly tested and tried before being offered to the public, and promises to be as popular among tractors for its efficiency and cheapness as the Ford is among automobiles. George Dunton, of the Ford garage, was so fortunate as to secure the Orange county agency for the Fordson, and will soon be prepared to demonstrate its effectiveness. Edward Deal Currier, a former resident of Placentia, was killed at Rockwell Field, North Island. He was struck by the propeller of an airplane which he was testing. Currier was one of the first business men to locate in Placentia after the town was founded. He owned the Placentia hardware store until 1915, when he sold out to C. R. Farrar and went to Los Angeles. These items in substance say: "We cannot use men, no matter how capable, if their past life has been spent in cigarette smoking, beer guzzling, whisky selling and poolroom bumming. If they have followed sharp practice in dealing or are accustomed to using vulgar and profane language, or have familiaarly scoffed at the church and religion in general, who lack the initiative for success in their various undertakings in the past, but who consider the Y. M. C. A. an easy mark and therefore would like, through it, to make a 'new try' in the over-seas campaign." A new ruling states that secretarial work over-seas and in the home camps, is from this on to be done by men holding membership in some branch of Evangelical church. To be sure, in rare exceptions, unquestioned character with very large qualifications for special service might, if the applicant were not over age, override the above conditions. That which is true of American work, both at home and abroad, applies equally in the other armies of our Allies. Now, Mr. Outstanding Man, with your distinguishing talents, step to the front! Here is your opportunity. Do not think for a moment, no matter what your present duties are, that you would be assuming a lighter task or a humbler service, than that which you are now rendering. As the chief responsibility of securing men with the proper qualifications rests primarily upon the County Recruiting body, we respectfully ask that men who know that their past and present is stady and under a cloud, and who also know that their standards of life are not the requisite type that we are calling for, will be kind enough not to waste our time. We also ask that a strong and speedy NEW SPRINKLING DEVICE TO BE PURCHASED TRUSTEE M'FADDEN AND SUPT. STEWARD WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS CITY FATHERS CONSIDER OTHER MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST —MEET AGAIN TONIGHT The consideration of a suitable street sprinkler and motor truck engrossed the attention of the city council at their special meeting Thursday night. Several bids were received, but action was deferred until tonight when the board will receive a report upon the matter from Trustee McFadden and Street Superintendent Steward, who were appointed as a special committee to investigate the several equipments offered. One sprinkler was offered at $555, another at $856, while still another was quoted at $695. The motor truck will cost about $1,100. WATER COMPANY'S FLUME SUDDENLY COLLAPSES Flow of Water to Placentia Interrupted for a Week Anaheim Union Water Company's flume spanning a barranca east of the Berkenstock place near Placentia, suddenly collapsed Monday without any apparent cause except the weight of the water it was carrying. This flume was comparatively new, having been built since the flood three years ago. It was six feet wide and four feet deep, its capacity being more than one thousand inches of water. It was carrying seven hundred or eight hundred inches at the time of its collapse. It supplied the Placentia orchardists with water. Superintendent McFadden, with a gang of men, immediately got busy making temporary repairs, and President Hale, of the water company, called a special meeting of the directors early Tuesday morning. They decided to only temporarily repair the flume in order that the supply of water to the ranchers might not be interrupted and to build a siphon under the floor of the barranca. The siphon will be in the neighborhood of 75 feet long, and is expected to cost several thousand dollars. The collapse of this flume, it is said, will cut off Placentia's water supply for a time, but Superintendent McFadden declares he will have water running again by the end of this week. REV. FATHÉR DUBBEL IS LEAVING ANAHEIM Popular Pastor of St. Boniface Is Transferred to Santa Maria Anaheim people will learn with regret that Rev. Father F. J. Dubbel, who has been pastor of St. Boniface's church for the past twenty years, has been transferred to a different parish. All at their special meeting Thursday night. Several bids were received, but action was deferred until tonight when the board will receive a report upon the matter from Trustee McFadden and Street Superintendent Steward, who were appointed as a special committee to investigate the several equipments offered. One sprinkler was offered at $555, another at $856, while still another was quoted at $695. The motor truck will cost about $1,100. A report was received from McFadden regarding a comfort station, plans for which had been drawn by Engineer Steward. The cost of the convenences will reach about $600. This will be installed in the old city hall building with entrances on Claudina street. Modern appliances will be used and the station will be installed at once. The street superintendent was empowered to place street names on the cement curbings at all corners in the down-town district, while sign posts will be used at the outlying sections. Many streets are as yet unmarked and those already designated will be toned up to be more presentable. Clerk Merritt was empowered to employ two assistants to help check up the names attached to the two petitions filed in his office. Owing to the inability of the county clerk to furnish him the records until Monday, work upon the verification of the signatures did not begin until that date. The clerk has ten days from the filing of the petitions to have them verified, and while the time is limited, by the aid of two assistants the city clerk will be ready to report upon the petitions as required by law. The bone dry petition asked for a special election to be called to secure the voice of the people upon the vexed question. The other, which is termed the "barrel house" petition asks the council to draft an ordinance, permitting only wholesale establishments to exist here, while the retailers are sought to be wiped out. Much speculation exists as to what action will be taken by the board, but if the initiative petition is regular the special election must be called. What the board will do with the barrel house question is a matter of conjecture. DOUGHBOY CHEERS FOR MISS VETTER Hospitality Shown U. S. Fighting Men To Be Rewarded Today REV. FATHÉR DUBBEL IS LEAVING ANAHEIM Popular Pastor of St. Boniface Is Transferred to Santa Maria Anaheim people will learn with regret that Rev. Father F. J. Dubbel, who has been pastor of St. Boniface's church for the past twenty years, has been transferred to a different parish. Within the next ten days he will leave for his new field of labor at Santa Maria, his place here being taken by Rev. P. Browne of Salinas. When Father Dubbel came here a score of years ago, the Catholic congregation worshipped in the little frame building in the rear of the present church on Palm street. The church has grown and flourished under his pastorate, the beautiful building at the corner of Palm and Center streets being built under his direction. He has hosts of friends aside from the members of his own church, who will regret his leaving. Many transfers were made at Bishop Cantwell's council meeting held Tuesday morning. Another change of interest to Anaheim people was the transfer of Rev. Joseph Truxaw, brother of Dr. J. W. Truxaw, of this city. Father Truxaw, who was only recently ordained a priest, has been assistant pastor at Oxnard, but he was appointed Tuesday assistant pastor of St. Agnes' church, Los Angeles. Fother Dubbel will probably preach his farewell sermon here Sunday. Sam Smith pleaded guilty in the superior court to the charge of passing a worthless check to William Leslie. He has asked for probation and his plea will be heard tomorrow. DOUGHBOY CHEERS FOR MISS VETTER Hospitality Shown U. S. Fighting Men To Be Rewarded Today Miss Pauline Vetter endeared herself to a group of five doughboys whose car went out of commission in front of her parents' home on Kroeger street on Monday afternoon, and as a result their battalion will give her a cheer as they pass through town today in plain sight of her home. She has promised to be on the lookout for them, waving her handkerchief to them. The boys were on their way to San Diego from Los Angeles, when their car stopped in front of the Vetter residence. They worked upon it for several hours, and when it was finally again put into commission, Miss Vetter invited them in to dinner. They gladly accepted, and were re-galed with a splendid meal. They enjoyed a delightful visit at the Vetter home, and on leaving thanked their hostess and her parents for their hospitality. They said they would be passing through town today on their way to the battlefront, and that their battalion would give her a cheer. Miss Vetter promised to be on the lookout for them, waving her handkerchief. They departed for San Diego in the afternoon, having to report there at 2 o'clock in the evening. Mrs. Harry Felling, Mrs. J. L. Kenny and Miss Helene Kenny were visiting in Los Angeles Monday.
