HOT CONTEST IN THE RACE FOR TRUSTEE THREE VACANCIES ON BOARD WITH SEVEN CANDIDATES READY FOR START Practically Full Registered Vote Expected To Be Polled on April 12—Clerk Merritt and Treasurer Boege Are Going To Win by Default At the opening of the municipal campaign some weeks ago candidates for city trustee were extremely scarce, and for a time it looked like the voters would be compelled to draft somebody to fill the vacant seats at the council table. Mayor J. J. Dwyer, Trustee Stark and Trustee Mann were the retiring members, and neither was anxious for re-election. Dwyer and Mann, when asked to run again, declared with superlative emphasis in Anaheim a year or two ago by the erection of the Colonial apartment. His interests are all here, and he is always ready to perform his part when the advancement of the town is in question. He is a progressive citizen, full of pep, and believes the way to build up a town is to keep it ahead of all other towns in the matter of progress. He is a prominent Elk, and will make a strong race for the four-year term. Howard E. Gates is the candidate of the American Legion. Howard served his country in the Philippine war, also in the late war, and was put forward by the boys who wore the khaki as their candidate. He is also a young man, has long been engaged in business here, and has a host of friends who are asking his election. Judging from his talk no Jap would ever get a concession with his consent should he be elected a member of the board, as he is unalterably opposed to allowing the Oriental a further foothold in this state. California for the Americans is his motto. John H. Cook has already served twice as a member of the city council, one term as mayor of the city. That his administration was satisfactory was indicated by the large number of people who besought him to enter the At the opening of the municipal campaign some weeks ago candidates for city trustee were extremely scarce, and for a time it looked like the voters would be compelled to draft somebody to fill the vacant seats at the council table. Mayor J. J. Dwyer, Trustee Stark and Trustee Mann were the retiring members, and neither was anxious for re-election. Dwyer and Mann, when asked to run again, declared with superlative emphasis that they would be—that they had enough, and declined to discuss the subject. Stark also demurred, but finally decided that the people had got used to letting Bill do it, and as it was necessary for somebody to be a goat, it might as well be him as anybody else, consequently his nomination papers were filed with City Clerk Merritt. Believing that the rapidly growing northwest quarter of the city should have a representative on the board the people of that section concentrated their affection on Vic LaMont, and finally induced him to stand as a candidate. LaMont and Stark were both candidates for the four year term. It looked like there would be no candidate for the short term, but one morning it was announced that two other candidates had sprung up in the night, injecting more interest into the campaign. The American Legion had put forth a candidate in the person of Howard E. Gates, and Charles Eygabroad had allowed his name to be used as a candidate for the short term. Several men had been solicited by their friends to enter the race but all had either settled the question by a decided no, or were hesitating. John H. Cook was one of them, and he finally listened to the persuasive words of his supporters and withdrew his objections. About the same time Fred Gresswell, who had been approached by various parties, finally concluded that people would take more interest in the election if there were two candidates for the short term, so he permitted his name to be used and filed his petition. Then somebody surrounded Trustee Mann, overruled all his objections, out-argued him, and finally induced him to stand for re-election. And thus the line-up is complete and the race is on. There are two men to elect for the four-year term and four candidates in the field—Stark, LaMont, Gates and Cook There elected a member of the board, as he is unalterably opposed to allowing the Oriental a further foothold in this state. California for the Americans is his motto. John H. Cook has already served twice as a member of the city council, one term as mayor of the city. That his administration was satisfactory was indicated by the large number of people who besought him to enter the race. There is nothing reactionary about Cook. He believes in progress. He wants a new city hall, an outfall sewer, a city park and every improvement it is possible for the city to make. Charles H. Mann, who came out at the eleventh hour, is already on the board. He was appointed to serve the expired term of Ralph McFadden, and so well did he fill the seat that there was a universal clamor for his re-election. For a long time he hesitated, but finally consented to run, and is a candidate for his old seat. Mr. Mann has one of the largest business interests in the city. He is sound and conservative in his judgment, is progressive in his ideas, and his friends hope to retain him in the seat which he has filled so satisfactorily. Charles Eygabroad is one of the city's foremost financiers. His first business enterprise in the city was the establishment of the Anaheim National Bank, of which he was the head for a number of years. He is always in the forefront in every move tending to benefit the city. Mr. Eygabroad also was reluctant to enter the race, but his friends persuaded him to allow his name to be used. He is a candidate for the short term. F. K. Gresswell, also candidate for the short term, is the Anaheim board of trade's artist. He is always talking for the city, whether at home or abroad and has probably done more toward putting the town on the map than any other citizen, partly with his tongue and partly with his brush. He is an enthusiastic booster, in season and out of season, and nothing can be proposed for the advancement of the city that he doesn't favor. He believes in choosing what you want, then getting it. Mr. Gresswell has a strong following. During the next few weeks when public attention will centralize upon the election of three good men to serve the city as trustees voters It's a far cry from Donald's floral conception of Ana and its surroundings set forth in the booster's centrally prepared by him from which was published week's Gazette, and these actions at present existing, rived just the same. For instead of the "frog" and the "stealthy" along on mocassined only denizens of the department of the Santa Ana valley us the booming real estate—the fifty-seven other boosters, some of whom might or might not be stealing, but that's another.

The latest move along reported to have been a "religious census," presu-cilitate the doings of the movement and to speed up those of the sheep from the good Santa Ana to poll her full on the deal above referrerible. According to infa-tained from presumably a side sources there were like over eight thousand terview by the census taker though the published reso show, the figures give that people would take more interest in the election if there were two candidates for the short term, so he permitted his name to be used and filed his petition. Then somebody surrounded Trustee Mann, overruled all his objections, out-argued him, and finally induced him to stand for re-election. And thus the line-up is complete and the race is on. There are two men to elect for the four-year term and four candidates in the field—Stark, LaMont, Gates and Cook. There is but one vacancy to fill for the short term, and three men are in the race. They are Mann, Eygabroad and Gresswell. These men are all well known to the voters of Anaheim, are all good men and true. They may differ on certain questions that come up for consideration, but they agree on the main issue, the welfare and advancement of the city. They are all so prominently identified with the business interests of Anaheim that a biographical sketch of each is unnecessary, but—Wm. Stark seeks re-election as a member of the board for one of the four-year terms, and will have the support of a large number of citizens on election day. Mr. Stark stands upon his past record as a trustee in seeking the office, and a review of his actions upon the council will show that he always stood for substantial improvement and was ever ready to promote the best interests of the city. Mr. Stark has been a member of the board for several years and is well versed regarding the urgent needs of the rapidly advancing city, and has always been found anxious and willing to assist laudable enterprises. Mr. Stark is a large taxpayer, has a keen insight to business matters and feels safe in going before the people asking for a continuance of his term as trustee. V. W. LaMont is one of the young men prominent in business affairs of the city. He demonstrated his faith During the next few weeks when public attention will centralize upon the election of three good men to serve the city as trustees, voters should also remember that a city clerk must be elected. E. B. Merritt has been successively re-elected to that important office for the past twenty-five years, and again aspires for the position; having the field all to himself, no one caring to contest his candidacy. Mr. Merritt is one of the best city clerks in the state, and through his efficient management the city's affairs are and always have been in excellent shape. His books are a model of neatness and accuracy and he has the details of the office admirable arranged and systematized. For treasurer, Charles A. Boege is again the only candidate. Mr. Boege has served as treasurer of the city for several terms, and as the people believe in keeping a good thing when they get it, there is seldom any opposition to him. He is an efficient and faithful official and has the confidence backing of the entire populace. At the eleventh hour, just before the time for filing petitions for nominations expired, another warrior, armed and panoplied for the fray, appeared in the ring. He is W. B. Allen, and he enters the contest for the trusteeship, long term. Mr. Allen was mentioned at the beginning of the campaign, but declined the honor then. The voter who cannot find three men to suit his taste in this line-up is indeed hard to please.

According to information obtained from presumably all side sources there were like over eight thousand terview by the census tax though the published report so show, the figures give to the belief that the good and just middling make teny-five per cent of the other twenty-five per cent down as negatively bad actions.

For instead of the "booming bulldog" male foundry and so another bubble was burst. But the sister city will get there yet, no doubt, if not in a material manner perhaps by closer communion with the spirits, for with a growing psychic society and outla boards as plentiful as the proverbial fleas, it would appear that they're making some progress, although a former Santa Ana minister of the gospel at a recent gathering declared in his address that the whole country, presumably including Santa Ana, is "joyriding in the dark and going to hell so fast that we can not be seen for dust." WEATHER INTERFERED WITH GREAT BALL GAME Fat and Lean Contest Postponed Until Sunday, April 4 The great question of whether the Fats are able to smother the Leans or the Leans can run the Fats of their legs is still unsettled.

For instead of the "booming bullfrog" and the "stealthy wolf, stealing along on mocassined feet," as the only denizens of the depth and width of the Santa Ana valley we have with us the booming real estate agent and the fifty-seven other varieties of boosters, some of whose activities might or might not be regarded as stealing, but that's another story. The Santa Ana valley as a whole, however, has developed in what might be termed the natural way, relying up on the fertility of the soil and the energy of its inhabitant to bring about results that have made it the garden spot of the state, the possible exception perhaps being the county seat and its immediate environments, where certain fortuitous circumstances have been taken advantage of to emphasize the alleged fact that particular community is composed of the chosen people. For the county seat is the home of culture and the breeding ground of aesthetic taste, not to mention the fact that it harbors a greater variety of fads and faddists than any other municipal subdivision of the southwest of its size, and that day may be counted lost whose low descending sun sees not some citizen fix it butting into the limelight and urgently demanding that his particular ideas be written into the official record of community life. The latest move along these lines is reported to have been a plan to take a "religious census;" presumably to facilitate the doings of the Day of Judgment and to speed up the separation of the sheep from the goats and allow Santa Ana to poll her full vote as early on the deal above referred to as possible. According to information obtained from presumably authoritative inside sources there were some thing like over eight thousand citizens interview by the census takers, and although the published results do not so show, the figures given would lead Fat and Lean Contest Postponed Until Sunday, April 4 The great question of whether the Fats are able to smother the Leans or the Leans can run the Fats of their legs is still unsettled. This was to have been decided on the Anaheim baseball grounds Sunday, but the weather man sent a shower this way in the morning which put a crimp on the arrangements. Billy Knott, manager of the Leans, declares the weather did not dampen the ardor of his bunch, as they were lined up on the ground clad in bathing suits ready for the fray. Numerous messages were sent to Manager Riley of the Fats, imploring him to be a sport and get his men on the ground, but Riley, it appears, found his team unmanageable. At any rate, they failed to appear, and the exasperated Leans are hinting at cold feet. The game will be pulled off on Sunday, April 4 provided nothing happens that can give either side an excuse for refusing to play. There will be no change in the line-up of either side, but the two week's interval will give all the players an opportunity to train, and a swift game of ball is assured when they meet. The line-up of the Fats is Frank Murch, catcher; Dave Thompson and Herman Stern, pitchers; W. E. Duckworth, first base; T. L. McFadden, second base; Harry D. Riley, short stop; Dean Hasson, third base; Welborn Wallop, right field; Louis Handleman, left field; Claude Weadon, center field. The average weight is 223 pounds. The line-up of the Leans is as follows: Fred Schneider, catcher; Oscar Schneider and Frank Lowden, pitchers; Doc Barnes, first base; Archer Fay, second base; L Bonnat, third base; Charley Goff, short stop; Leo Sheridan, left field; Ed Schneider, center field; Oscar Heyling, right field; Earl Abbey, substitute. Leaving out Doc Barnes, who is somewhat overgrown, the average weight of these men is 98 pounds, and every ounce, according to the manager, is good metal. The fans will await the coming contest with interest. INTERESTING DISPLAY OF FASHION'S LATEST Living Models Parade In Show Windows of Prince's Store Saturday The Northern Orange County Mutual Welfare Association began functioning immediately after effecting a permanent organization at the Oyster Loaf cafe last Tuesday night by selecting a committee composed of three attorneys—T. L. McFadden of Placentia, E. J. Marks of Fullerton, and H. G. Ames of this city, to look up the law and determine whether or not the third district could escape paying a special county tax for new roads after bonding itself for the purpose of extending the paved highway system within the district. The people of the north end of the county appear to favor a bond issue confined to the third supervisorial district, rather than the Finley special tax plan. At least that was the opinion expressed by Superior William Schumacher, Charles Eygabroad, T. L. McFadden, and others, who spoke at the meeting Tuesday night, and their sentiments appeared to be endorsed by the other delegates present. Mr. Schumacher stated that the county bond proposition had been killed by the incorporated cities within the county, and he favored a district issue in order that the money might be available at once and the necessary roads completed within three years. W. T. Brown of Fullerton, who has long been an advocate of Warrenite pavement, introduced the subject and advocated its endorsement by the association. He mentioned a stretch of road that had been in operation nine years during which time no repairs had been needed. Warrenite, he said, would last from fifty to one hundred years and cement only from three to five years. The constitution and by-laws submitted by a committee appointed at the meeting recently held in Fullerton, were adopted. The constitution provides regular meetings shall be held quarterly, on the first Tuesday of the month, the next meeting to be in Fullerton on June 1. Every taxpayer and resident in the third supervisoral district is a member of the association, and voting power will be by grammar school districts, not to exceed five per district. An executive committee will be composed of the association officers, and the chairman of each school district's delegation. Officers elected for the first year were: President, S. C.

According to information obtained from presumably authoritative inside sources there were some thing like over eight thousand citizens interview by the census takers, and although the published results do not so show, the figures given would lead to the belief that the good, unco-guided and just middling make up aboot seventy-five per cent of the whole, the other twenty-five per cent being set down as negatively bad and real hellions. Another step onward and upward, the plan for which was conceived recently by the Santa Ana chamber of commerce was to set Santa Ana apart as a shining example by installing a series of electric spotlights on the cupola of the county court house, from which coign of vantage and aided by the electric illumination the whole county was to be under the eye of the moral members of the county seat, although it has been suggested that Secretary Jummy Metzgar, of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce had in mind the signaling to Mars as the primary purpose of the proposed installation. An evening of last week was set apart as the date on which the electric lighting stunt was to be tried out and several of the promotors of the plan met at the court house and made due preparation. The big batteries were set up and connected with the spotlights and the juice turned on, but when the delegation sent out to record the result reached a point only a mile or two distant from the court house they found to their chagrin that the "illumination" at the court house failed to outshine the light at Tony's ta Interesting Display of Fashion's Latest Living Models Parade in Show Windows of Prince's Store Saturday Night Traffic at the corner of Lemon and Center streets was blocked for an hour Saturday night by the large crowd of people who gathered there to see the display of spring and summer ladies' wear and spring millinery which was being exhibited on living models. A bevy of very beautiful young ladies paraded in the show windows wearing the latest gowns, cloaks, and hats, at intervals retiring for a change of costume. Both Center and Lemon streets were crowded with people during the exhibition, the ladies gathering to look at the fashions and the men to see the girls. All the spectators, ladies and gentlemen alike, declared it was a beautiful exhibit, and hope the Prince store will make a feature of this show and give it often. The ladies who acted as models were Miss Mabel Ziegler, Miss Mitchell, Miss Rose, Mrs. Washburn and Mrs. George. Three candidates are aspiring to be school trustees at Fullerton to succeed Henry Schulty, whose term expires and who will not run again as he feels that he has served long enough, having been trustee for a number of years. Mrs. Belle Benchley, Mrs. Jeanne Fagin and S. N. Fuller are the candidates to be voted on Friday. Doc Barnes, who is somewhat overgrown, the average weight of these men is 98 pounds, and every ounce, according to the manager, is good metal. The fans will await the coming contest with interest.

McFadden of Placentia; second vice president, L. E. Plummer of Fullerton; third vice president, Charles Eygabroad of Anaheim; secretary-treasurer, J. H. Whitaker of Anaheim. The executive committee was instructed to determine the amount of money needed by the association, and recommend the manner of collecting funds. The object of the association was defined in the preamble of the constitution, as follows: "To bring together in close acquaintance the members of the association. To promote harmony of thought and unity of action in all matters of general public interest, especially in those matters which affect the welfare of the third supervisorial district. To disseminate information concerning all matters that affect the welfare of said district, to carefully consider bond issues, tax levies, tax laws, distribution and expenditure of public monies and endeavor to harmonize all action with reference thereto. To foster and promote plans for the general welfare and advancement of the communities represented in this association. To inform ourselves on all county affairs so as to enable us to act in harmony in all matters of county-wide import; to the end that the best interest of the entire county will be subserved and all projects for the general welfare of the county will be furthered."

A movement is now well under way for the formation of a new country club, with the Anaheim and Fullerton districts joining with Whittier in the love and the project is reported as on the road to consummation. A site for the club, located on the Hart ranch, midway between Fullerton and Whittier, is being considered and an option has been secured on the property. This option expires April 1, and it is hoped the club plan will be far enough advanced by that time so the property can be taken over. A golf course is to be one of the main adjuncts of the new club grounds. The charter membership fee, it is reported, is $300, and that this will be increased to $500 when a total membership of 250 is reached. J. E.

The Hart tract on North Los Angeles street has been secured, the lease has been recorded and the committee's worries from the site source are at an end. The show is developing into such a gigantic J. E. WALTER & COMPANY GIVEN COUNTY AGENCY Are Now Sole Distributors of Mitchell Cars in Orange County In recognition of the confidence placed in them by the company, and their standing as business men in the community, J. E. Walter & Co., auto dealers of this city, have been given the county agency for the Mitchell car by the big Mitchell factory. This firm formerly held the county agency, but the company divided the county into two agencies, giving the southern half to Bickford & Bedford, of Santa Ana. Last week the Santa Ana firm's contract was cancelled, the entire business of the company in Orange County being given to the Anaheim firm. Walter Hodges, sales manager for J. E. Walter & Co., was in Santa Ana last week arranging the transfer. It is understood the firm will open a branch agency in the county seat if a suitable location can be secured. J. E. Walter & Co are also county agents for the Jordan car and the Allwork tractor, and a salesroom at Santa Ana where their popular machines can be displayed would be a great convenience. Walter & Co. are considered one of the leading Mitchell agencies on the coast, and it is considerable of an honor to be given the sole agency in the richest county in the United States. The firm sold twenty-six Mitchell cars since the first of November. M. J. Herzler filed suit in the superior court through Attorney H. G. Ames, of Anaheim, to secure possession of approximate $2500 worth of general store equipment which he alleges J. C. Ballard, of Orange county, now holds. The store from which the equipment was taken is located at With a location secured for the Orange county auto show to be held at Anaheim May 5, 6, 7 and 8, the committee in charge of the big enterprise is now devoting itself to other features in connection with the display. The Hart tract on North Los Angeles street has been secured, the lease has been recorded and the committee's worries from the site source are at an end. The show is developing into such a gigantic affair that it was thought for a time that it would be difficult to secure a location that would at all be within a reasonable distance of the business heart of the city. At the meeting of the Orange County Automobile Trades association held Friday night at the Wickersheim garage at Fullerton further plans for the show were discussed and indications are that the space available will be oversubscribed by exhibitors. Los Angeles and San Bernardino dealers are lending a hearty co-operation and there will be exhibits from sources not expected at the time the show was first considered. Harry D. Riley, Anaheim; C. H. McCausland, Santa Ana, and Albert Sitton, of Fullerton, compose the committee in charge of the show. Walt Biddick, secretary of the county association, has been chosen as manager and after the first of April he will give his entire time to the display until after the dates of the event, when he will resume his activities in behalf of the organization. Biddick is a live wire and competent to handle the enterprise, and with the active committee associated with him there is little doubt but that the display will be one of the largest and most successful ever held at any point in Southern California outside of Los Angeles. There has been more or less confusion about the dates, but they now have been definitely settled, and the programmed dates of May 5 to 8 will be adhered to. For the passenger car department there will be 18,310 feet available for exhibits and in the truck and accessory tent 15,380 feet. An exceptionally fine program of entertainment will be provided for each day and evening. It is possible that some of the big movie stars of the studios in the vicinity of Los Angeles will be featured at different times. There will be plenty of music. M. J. Herzler filed suit in the superior court through Attorney H. G. Ames of Anaheim, to secure possession of approximate $2500 worth of general store equipment which he alleges J. C. Ballard, of Orange county, now holds. The store from which the equipment was taken is located at Carpenteria, Santa Barbara county. The suit is said to be the result of the dissolving of a partnership agreement. Ballard is said to be operating a store place in the northern end of this county. School elections will be held in both the high and grammar school districts tomorrow (Friday). S. D. Winters, of Magnolia, is the retiring member of the high school board, while J. H. Enearl gives up his job as trustee of the grammar schools. Winters will probably be re-elected without opposition, but it is understood Mr. Enearl will not run again. T. L. Hoag and G. W. Sloop are announced as candidates for his seat. George McPhea, county sealer of weights and measures, was in town Tuesday on official business. Mrs. Max Nebelung has been very ill for a week or two past. For a day or two last week her condition was so serious that the children were summoned to her bedside. Her many friends hope for her speedy restoration to health. Owing to the rain Sunday Benger's Cubs were unable to go over to Ontario and trounce the baseball nine of that city. Next Sunday, the weather permits, they will go up and gather in the Ontario scalps. Patrons of Theodore Roberts jewelry store will be pleased to learn that the establishment will not go out of existence on the first of the month, as was generally believed. Mr. Roberts wants to quit the business owing to press of other duties, but he will continue until a buyer is found who will take it entire. In the meantime the big reduction sale continues as it is his desire to reduce the large stock as much as possible before moving. Mr. Roberts will be forced to give up his present quarters to H. O. Henderson, the new owner of the building on April 1, but he is preparing to move into the Roberts block on West Lemon street. The tamale factory, which occupies one of the rooms, will vacate the place in a day or two and the room will be fitted up for Mr. Roberts' occupancy. Funeral services for Mrs. Grace Kennedy were held at Backs and Terry's Tuesday morning, Rev. L. Swindle having charge. Mrs. Kennedy died at Santa Ana.
