G.O.P. IN CONTROL OF HOUSE AND SENATE PRESIDENT WILSON'S PARTISAN APPEAL REBURKED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILLIAM D. STEPHENS RE-ELECTED GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA BY A SAFE MAJORITY The country has answered President Wilson's appeal for supreme control in the affairs of the nation. His demand for the election of a congress that would be subservient to the whip has been rebuked. Two weeks ago the republicans were apathetic, so much so that in forty congressional districts they neglected to nominate a candidate, and were inclined to let the democrats win by default, but Mr. Wilson's eleventh hour demand for a democratic congress, and his insinuation that a republican majority would hamper the war work of the government electrified them into action, and early from the polls indicate that DARING HOLDUP ON STATE HIGHWAY Driver of Los Angeles and Santa Ana Motor Express Stopped by Road Agent and Robbed An armed road agent stopped the driver of the Los Angeles and Santa Ana express motor truck at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning and at the point of a gun robbed the driver of a few dollars which he had in his pocket. The scene of the hold-up occurred on the state highway just this side of Fullerton and for bold execution and daring was the equal to anything happening around here recently. The truck driver observed the man in the roadway, and as he neared the man he kept drawing to one side, believing the man to be under the influence of liquor, as he kept edging nearer to the line of travel of the truck as the vehicle was making its way southward. Just as the truck was about to pass him, the man suddenly reached up and threw on the emergency brake and stopped the motor before the driver realized what was up. Covering the driver with his gun the robber said, "Hand over your money, guy, and be quick about it." "You've got me," answered the driver, "Help yourself." After relieving the driver of a few silver dollars, but overlooking about $20 under the seat, the robber made off through a near-by corn patch and CAPT.

McAlvore, And A Carriage for the election of a congress that would be subservient to the whip has been rebuked. Two weeks ago the republicans were apathetic, so much so that in forty congressional districts they neglected to nominate a candidate, and were inclined to let the democrats win by default, but Mr. Wilson's eleventh hour demand for a democratic congress, and his insinuation that a republican majority would hamper the war work of the government electrified them into action, and early returns from the polls indicate that the partisan demand has met with stern rebuke. Yesterday morning in the close districts the campaign managers could only make guesses, but in many districts and states held by democrats the republican majority was decisive. Democrats lost senators in Illinois, West Virginia, Kansas, Colorado, and New Jersey. In the president's own state, New Jersey, the republicans elected both senators. Apparently the senate after the fourth of March will stand, republicans 49, democrats 47. Chairman Fess, of the republican congressional committee, claims the house by a majority of at least eleven. Indications are that Champ Clark of Missouri, speaker of the house, has been defeated by a small majority, and that Sherley of Kentucky, chairman of the appropriation committee, has lost to his republican opponent. Tammany is in the saddle once more in New York. Apparently Gov. Whitman has been defeated by Smith, the Tammany candidate by a large majority. In California Gov. Stephens is re-elected by a good majority. Little interest was taken in the election in Anaheim, the war and influenza scare overshadowing everything else. Only 50 per cent of the registered vote was cast. The bone-dry proposition carried in this city, but it had no significance as the ordinance making the town dry on the first of January has already been adopted. Jackson Elected Sheriff Returns from 80 precincts in Orange county, out of 107, up to the hour of going to press, give the following vote on sheriff: Jackson 5404; Jernigan 3416. 6,000 TROOPS WILL ENTRAIN FOR COAST The 6,000 Nebraska recruits who have been expected at Camp Kearny, for some time and were held up by the authorities will begin to en- Just as the truck was about to pass him, the man suddenly reached up and threw on the emergency brake and stopped the motor before the driver realized what was up. Covering the driver with his gun the robber said, "Hand over your money, guy, and be quick about it." "You've got me," answered the driver, "Help yourself." After relieving the driver of a few silver dollars, but overlooking about $20 under the seat, the robber made off through a near-by corn patch and disappeared. RED CROSS ANNUAL ELECTION At a meeting of the executive board of the Anaheim Red Cross Tuesday evening a decision was made to hold the annual election of the executive council for the coming year by ballot as the holding of a public meeting is banned by the health officer at the present time. The annual meeting was announced for the evening of October 23 when Private Hagan, who has just recently returned from France, was to have addressed the meeting. On account of the prevalence of influenza this meeting had to be cancelled and the old officers have been holding over. As there is no definite date set for the resuming of public meetings, it is necessary that the new officers be elected at once. The election will be held at Red Cross headquarters on Wednesday, November 15. Ballots may be deposited on Tuesday or Wednesday between 10 and 12 A.M. and 2 to 5 P.M., but polls will be closed promptly at 5 P.M. on Wednesday. Every member of the Anaheim Red Cross is urged to vote. The executive council elected will then organize and elect the officers for the coming year. Following are the names presented by the nominating committee. Vote for 15 members, including two from Stanton: H. E. W. Barnes, Jr., Mrs. C. W. Brakeman, Mrs. E. Borchert, Mrs. Gus Bruns, Mrs. M. J.

It is expected that about 1,500 will leave each day for four days. It is announced that 105 enlisted men have been selected to leave Camp Kearny, Friday, to attend an infantry central officers' training school at Camp Pike, Ark. They are due to arrive at the school not later than November 18. The staff officers of Camp Kearny, who have been on duty in Washington as students at the army war college, are expected to return here and take up their duties November 12. About 350 machine gun men are expected to arrive here in a day or two, having left Camp Hancock, at Augusta, Ga., November 3. The number of nurses of influenza was increased again Tuesday. There were 155 new cases, 22 cases of pneumonia and 3 deaths. PREVENTING FOREST FIRES Never build your camp fire against a rotten log. Clear away all burnable material before building a camp fire.

Barfoot, formerly proprietor of Barfoot's groceteria, died yesterday morning at Oxnard, influenza being the cause. Mr. and Mrs. George Barfoot were summoned to his bedside Tuesday. The little flu germ has killed the biggest man in the United States. His name was Sam Irwin, and he lived in Three Rivers, Michigan. His weight was 610 pounds.

It is not as big as a 42-centimeter howitzer, being only an inch and a half bore, but it is capable of making some noise. The captain will have to hurry up, however, or the Kaiser may be down and out and Germany ours before the cannon is completed. If Bill can hang onto his job until Saturday the cannon will probably be ready to celebrate his abdication.

ANAHEIM AGAIN MUST DO ITS SHARE DISTRICT IS EXPECTED TO RAISE $13,986 IN UNITED WAR WORKS CAMPAIGN MONEY TO BE DIVIDED AMONG THE SEVEN GREAT HUMANITARIAN SOCIETIES Next Monday the campaign for the United War Work fund will begin. By direction of President Wilson the sum needed by the seven principal humanitarian organizations have been added together and one appeal is made to the people for the relief of all. The sum total to be raised is $170,000,000, and this will be pro-rated among the societies that are doing such magnificent work for our army and navy. The money will be divided as follows: Y. M. C. A. $100,000,000 Y. W. C. A. 15,000,000 Nal.

The wooden model, which was turned out by T. S. Grimshaw according to a design furnished by the captain, was taken to Los Angeles Friday where it was to be cast and shipped to Anaheim yesterday. B. D. McAlvay is making the bore, and a carriage is being constructed on which the gun will be mounted so it can easily be transported from one point to another. Old timers will recall that Captain Henry was the owner of a cannon many years ago. That gun had quite an interesting career until it came to an end one night in a burst of glory, or—at any rate in a burst. Once upon a time the republicans of Anaheim celebrated a great victory over their ancient enemy, the democrats. Mr. Henry's cannon was the only piece of ordnance in town, consequently the committee asked him to bring it forth and help stir up enthusiasm. This gun was democratic in its politics, or, at least, its owner was, but Mr. Henry never refused to take part in a celebration, and although feeling pretty sore over the defeat of his party, he unlimbered the gun and got into action. The first five shots were fired on Center street opposite the Kroeger building and proved rather damaging to the glass in that section. On one occasion the cannon jumped into the air, crashed through the front of Bauer's shoe shop, landed on the seat where Mr. Bauer would have been sitting had he been at work, bonded onward and was found with its muzzle sticking through the rear wall. Frank Steadman, who composed the entire police force and constabulary at that time, interfered at this point and prohibited further activities, but Fritz Ruhman pursued Mr. Henry to secretly convey the gun around to Los Angeles street and fire it in front of his saloon. He did it and considerable glass was broken in the neighborhood. Backs Brothers and others sent a bill to the amount of $180 to Mr. Henry in demand for broken glass, etc. He ignored it and finally got a peremptory note from Attorney Montgomery of Santa Ana, demanding immediate payment. Mr. Henry wrote a reply in which he quoted Bobby Burns, and as it was unfit for publication and wouldn't pass the censor of the post-office department, he made a trip to Santa Ana and mailed it through the Rex Galbrith Gibson, Anaheim.

WALNUT WORM CONTROL DEMONSTRATION The Farm Bureau co-operating with the walnut associations of the county is arranging a number of demonstrations for the control of the codling moth worm in the walnut groves. Prof. R. E. Smith, of the University of California, who has been studying the worm situation for sometime and working out a method of control, will lecture at three demonstrations, and acquaint the growers of the actual conditions in the orchard and in the tray yard. The life history of the worm will be explained and methods of control demonstrated. The following demonstrations have needed by the local prosecutors tarian organizations have been added together and one appeal is made to the people for the relief of all. The sum total to be raised is $170,000,000, and this will be pro-rated among the societies that are doing such magnificent work for our army and navy. The money will be divided as follows: Y. M. C.

He planted the cannon in front of his house, and soon had a crowd of auditors. When the ammunition ran low Mr. Henry found himself with too much powder on hand for one charge and not enough for two. He determined to end the celebration with an extraordinary blast, consequently dumped in all the powder, tamped it with an extra wad of paper, waited until all the bystanders were safe behind trees, then pulled the lanyard. There was a mighty roar, the earth trembled and the atmosphere was filled with shrieking fragments. The windows in Mr. Henry's house tingled to the ground in broken pieces of glass, the shingles flew from his roof. The tree behind which Uncle Alex was hiding had a slab torn from its trunk a rod or two of fence was demolished, and there was a gaping hole in the ground where the gun had been. Pieces were found later miles away. And thus its career ended. It had made much noise in the world and was responsible for considerable broken glass, but it had no casualties to its credit. The gun Captain Henry is having Prof. R. E. Smith, of the University of California, who has been studying the worm situation for sometime and working out a method of control, will lecture at three demonstrations, and acquaint the growers of the actual conditions in the orchard and in the tray yard. The life history of the worm will be explained and methods of control demonstrated. The following demonstrations have been arranged for: San Juan Capistrano—Friday afternoon, November 8th, at 2 P.M. at J.W. Off's orchard, one and half miles west of town. West Orange—Monday morning, November 11th, 10 A.M., at Fred Schleuter's orchard on La Veta avenue, one-fourth mile west of Main street. Tustin—Monday afternoon, November 11th, 2 P.M., at Capt. P.T. Adam's orchard off west Main street on Glen avenue. All walnut growers are invited to attend these open air meetings. The farm bureau and walnut association especially urge their members to present at one of these demonstrations. Fire Wednesday destroyed the engine house, rig and drilling tolls of the Union Oil Company's Chapman No. 1 oil well, on the Chapman ranch, east of Fullerton, at a total loss of $4,000. The well has been standing cemented at 2,800 feet and redrilling was to have been started Wednesday morning. The watchman was instructed to fire up early and it is believed that the blaze started from a small oil stove that he had for heating purposes. Work on the well will be resumed as soon as a new rig can be constructed and set in motion. Anaheim's district will include all that territory between Orangethorpe avenue on the north and the Katella road on the south, from the river on the east, west to the Buena Park boulevard. While the figure mentioned in the table above is the minimum for the city within its corporate limits, the allotment for the Anaheim district is $9,324, but since this quota was fixed the government has urged that the subscriptions go fifty per cent above this quota. The Anaheim district, therefore, should subscribe $13,986. No doubt everybody is acquainted with the necessary work performed by these societies in ministering to the soldiers in camp and at the front. The boys all refer to them in grateful AGAIN ITS DED TO RAISE WAR WORKS DED AMONG HUMANIETIES campaign for the will begin. By Wilson the sums principal humani-ve been added is made to the all. The sum 70,000,000, and among the soci-ich magnificent and navy. The follows: ...$100,000,000 ...15,000,000 ...30,000,000 ...3,500,000 language, and it is just as essential that these societies be maintained as that the treasury be sustained in its demands for Liberty Bond sales. Because the latest news indicates that the enemy is collapsing and an armistice will be agreed upon, don't get the idea that the war is ended and that the boys are coming home. Thousands more are going over and it will be at least two years before they are all at home again. Money for the support of these societies was never more necessary than at the present time. Anaheim will do its duty in this as it has in all previous campaigns. Anaheim's quota is officially announced as being $9,324. It is necessary, however, to over-subscribe this amount 50 per cent, as the sum asked for from the entire nation has been increased just that amount and each district's quota must be raised in proportion; $13,986 is the actual amount then which it will be necessary for Anaheim to subscribe during the one-week campaign which opens Monday the 11th, and which will raise the dollars required to carry on the welfare work among the boys in the service who are doing fighting "over there" for us here at home. The local committee has concluded that the campaign slogan should be "Make Your United War Work Subscription a Merry Christmas to the Boys Over There." Inasmuch as the space aboard the transports and cargo CLOSING ORDER RESENTED BY MERCHANTS MANDATE OF TRUSTEES SATURDAY AFTERNOON GAVE NO TIME FOR PREPARATION MANY CASES OF FLU IN ANAHEIM, BUT SITUATION IS NOT ALARMING There was a difference of opinion, amounting almost to strained relations between the city trustees and the merchants' association Saturday evening when the trustees, after a star chamber session, directed that all business houses should be closed at 7 o'clock Saturday night as a precautionary measure against a further spread of the influenza. Of course the order of the board was not mandatory as only the health officer can peremptorily close business houses for such a reason, and the summons was really in the nature of a request. It was something of a bomb thrown into the midst of the business men as all the merchants, butchers and have been added is made to the all. The sum 170,000,000, and among the social magnificent and navy. The follows: $100,000,000 15,000,000 30,000,000 3,500,000 various communities of Orange the county cam-proved by the sense follow: Cities $6,060.00 960.00 8,000.00 1,800.00 700.00 6,060.00 20,000.00 716.00 647.00 $44,943.00 Picts $267.00 940.00 163.00 442.00 1,735.00 357.00 300.00 331.00 389.00 194.00 931.00 700.00 470.00 900.00 2,000.00 300.00 670.00 300.00 1,740.00 300.00 770.00 -251.00 254.00 113.00 400.00 col out40.00 600.00 875.50 1,400.55 2,000.55 900.55 200.55 heim to subscribe during the one-week campaign which opens Monday the 11th, and which will raise the dollars required to carry on the welfare work among the boys in the service who are doing the fighting "over there" for us here at home. The local committee has concluded that the campaign slogan should be "Make Your United War Work Subscription a Merry Christmas to the Boys Over There." Inasmuch as the space aboard the transports and cargo carrying vessels is sorely needed for the transportation of troops, food, ammunition, and war supplies of every description, and the government has limited the amount of tonnage to be used for the shipping of holiday gifts to the forces overseas, nothing can be more practical and appropriate as a Christmas gift to our boys, than a liberal donation to the welfare fund. The dollars we give will reach our boys by way of the Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C.A., K. of C., National Catholic War Council, Jewish Welfare board, American Library Association, War Camp Community Service, and the Salvation Army, in such a way, as only those who have felt their influence and have received their succor on the fields of battle, can appreciate. If everyone will realize the tremendous task it will be to carry the home-fires to the millions of our boys overseas this Christmas, and to make them as happy and comfortable as is possible under the trying circumstances, there will be little trouble in raising Anaheim's portion of the nation's welfare fund. As the nation is appealed to to do its Christmas shopping early, let us start early to prepare to give this practical gift to our representatives over there who are starting to feel the discomforts of winter, with Christmas drawing near. It is the best way to start saving and planning now for a most generous donation to the United War Work fund. CHECKMATING THIEVES In the opinion of the Automobile Club of Southern California, a recent ruling of the State Motor Vehicle Department takes a long stride toward the bugbear of interstate motor thriving operations. The ruling is designed to balk the trick of thieves in near-by states of driving cars into California and camouflaging their steal with bona fide California license plates. In the past only the surrender of the home state license plates has been necessary to secure California plates when the trustees, after a star chamber session, directed that all business houses should be closed at 7 o'clock Saturday night as a precautionary measure against a further spread of the influenza. Of course the order of the board was not mandatory as only the health officer can peremptorily close business houses for such a reason, and the summons was really in the nature of a request. It was something of a bomb thrown into the midst of the business men as all the merchants, the butchers and the bakers had arranged for their usual Saturday night trade, consequently immediately after the promulgation of the edict by City Marshal Wood, William Jackson, president of the merchants' association, was kept mighty busy answering the phone and listening to the protests of indignant business men. Mr. Jackson took the matter up with Mayor Dwyer and other members of the board, and a compromise was effected, the merchants agreeing to close at 9 o'clock, one hour earlier than their usual Saturday night closing time. Secretary Moore of the merchants' association, went over the ground previously traversed by Marshal Wood, notified all business men of the amended order, and harmony again prevailed. Such an arbitrary action, closing all business houses on Saturday night without previous warning would have worked a hardship, not only on the various business men who had prepared for the usual large trade, but also on the thousands of people who come to Anaheim on Saturday night, some of them from a long distance, for the purpose of purchasing supplies for Sunday or for the entire week. Those who came in for the sole purpose of buying liquor, however, if there were any such,-were grievously disappointed, as they encountered a bone dry town, the saloons and wholesale houses obeying the mandate of the trustees and closing promptly at seven. Hereafter the order of the board will be the law in Anaheim, as all the business houses, including saloons, will close at seven until the trustees see fit to rescind the order. The flu situation in Anaheim is not considered sufficiently serious to cause alarm. There are a large number of cases in town and the surrounding country, but only a few deaths have been attributed to the epidemic. Most of the cases are so mild that those afflicted suffer very little and hibernate at home simply because they are required to do so by the health officer.

Hereafter, according to the order, it will be necessary for the driver of a car coming in from another state to present with his application blank, the certificate of registration of the machine in its home state, a bill of sale, or other conclusive evidence to the effect that the machine is his own property. He will then be issued a 90-day visitor's permit or a regular California license if he wishes to remain in the state longer than 90 days. This requirement coincides with the provisions of the law regarding proof of ownership in the case of local machines for which license applications are made and extends to cars from other states as to local machines, the assurance that the license is in rightful possession of the car. This step will facilitate the work of the police and the theft bureau of the automobile club of Southern California in tracing machines reported stolen from other districts and often sold to unsuspecting prospects who buy here. If every state would take similar precautions the "gas raffles" trade would soon be a sorry occupation. Mrs. G. W. Simpson was visiting friends in Los Angeles the first of the week. The flu situation in Anaheim is not considered sufficiently serious to cause alarm. There are a large number of cases in town and the surrounding country, but only a few deaths have been attributed to the epidemic. Most of the cases are so mild that those afflicted suffer very little and hibernate at home simply because they are required to do so by the health officer. Don't be alarmed and imagine you have the flu if you catch a seasonal cold or feel a strange pain somewhere about your system. All is not flu that makes you ill these days. On the other hand don't neglect the symptoms. If you think you have caught it, or it has caught you, consult your doctor at once, and he will tell you what to do next. The epidemic appears to be abating in Southern California, and with proper precautions it will soon pass. In the superior court Robert C. Mize of Santa Ana has been appointed as referee for the partition of valuable property at Fullerton. Mize is appointed as a result of an interlocutory judgment entered in the case of J. W. Newell of Placentia against Mary R. Balcom and others. Several years ago Newell and B. G. Balcom, now dead, entered into an agreement for the handling of a property at Fullerton. The final judgment will be a settlement of interests. The Heying drug store was closed the first of the week on account of influenza. A. H.
