WARM CONTEST LOOMING IN DISTRICT REPUBLICANS DETERMINED TO SEND A PROTECTIONIST TO WASHINGTON THIS FALL San Diego Threatens to Put up an Independent Candidate if That County Fails to Dictate the Nominee—Balance of District Should Not Surrender to Southern City Again So determined are the people of San Diego that the eleventh congressional district shall continue to be represented by a San Diegan that it is rumored should both the republican and democratic nominees be chosen from other sections of the district an independent candidate will be put in the race by that city. Congressman Kettner has positively refused to accept a renomination on the democratic ticket, but it is said an effort will be made to induce him to run independently provided the regular democratic nominee go, and be placed in a district with Kern. In fact, every county in the district is anxious for a new deal. Should the republicans of the balance of the district unite and stand firm against the dictatorial southerners they will win this fall. They have sufficient votes to dictate the nominee at the primary and to elect him in November, and if San Diego runs the steam roller over them again it is their own fault. Readjustment of the senatorial districts in accordance with population figures, is also giving the people of Orange county some concern. There is talk of forming one district of Orange and Riverside counties, but such an arrangement would be unjust, as the population would be fifty per cent greater than the requirements for a senatorial district. The state is divided on a basis of 80,000 population to a district. Orange county alone has a population sufficiently near this flure to justify her people in claiming a senatorial and two assembly districts within her own boundary. To add Riverside, with its 50,000 people would make the district unreasonably too heavy, and within a year or two, owing to the rapid growth of both counties, it would have more than double the required population. Owing to the impossibility of making the districts equal without dividing counties, when the new lines are G.O.P. OPERATIVE CAMPUS LOU GUERNSEY OF DELIVERYS STIRRING TO REPUBLICAN Judge Howard Chose Ident and J. H. WILLIAM CLUB EXPECTS TO MOVE CAMPAIGN—Harmful Insures Big Majors and Coolidge The Anaheim Repeated the campaign of last Thursday evening to stir things up in keep them stirred heim votes are polled November. There wereance at the meeting trade rooms Thursday ing the announcement Lou Guernsey of Loeng engaged to make Guernsey is an able district shall continue to be represented by a San Diego that it is rumored should both the republican and democratic nominees be chosen from other sections of the district an independent candidate will be put in the race by that city. Congressman Kettner has positively refused to accept a renomination on the democratic ticket, but it is said an effort will be made to induce him to run independently provided the regular democratic nominee comes from some other county, and State Senator Ed. P. Sample is defeated in the primary election for the republican nomination. Sample is the only announced republican candidate so far, but Senator S. C. Evans of Riverside, Senator Lyman King of Redlands and Judge Phil D. Swing of El Centro, are all under consideration. San Diego is supremely indifferent to the demands or needs of the other six counties of the district. For many years the people of that county have voted overwhelmingly for a San Diego democrat for congressman. His attitude on questions of moment in other sections of the district was a matter of no consequence to them so long as he worked for the welfare of San Diego, and Mr. Kettner repaid them by securing the appropriation of millions of dollars of government money for his home city. The republicans of the eleventh district should be united and determined upon two things. First, that our next representative in congress shall be a republican, and, second, that he shall not be a resident of San Diego. The chief industry in this district is the growing of citrus fruit. This industry needs protection. When the present hysteria subsides and prices return to normal the citrus growers will be hard hit unless they are protected by a high tariff. The next congress will frame a new tariff bill to supersede the pres-Underwood-Simmons free trade law, and if we send a free trade democrat to represent us in congress we will not be in a position to demand favors from the ways and means committee. We should elect a man to congress who believes that the preservation of the citrus groves and the other great industries is of more consequence to the people of the district than the improvement of San Diego harbor. This district is normally republican by at least thirty thousand plurality. San Diego polls only one-third of the votes population currently near to justify her people in claiming a senatorial and two assembly districts within her own boundary. To add Riverside, with its 50,000 people would make the district unreasonably too heavy, and within a year or two, owing to the rapid growth of both counties, it would have more than double the required population. Owing to the impossibility of making the districts equal without dividing counties, when the new lines are drawn there will be many districts in the state with a smaller population than Orange county has, therefore there is nothing unreasonable in demanding that this county stand as a senatorial district by itself. While we may fall a few thousands short of the basic figure now, at the present rate of increase we will pass it within a year or two, and when the next decennial census is taken will probably have twice the required population. Both Orange and Riverside should strenuously object to this union. In this rapidly growing section it would be the height of injustice to establish a senatorial district that has an excess population of fifty per cent to begin with. WELL-KNOWN RESIDENT VISITS THIS CITY George Strobel of Hanford Meets Many Old-Time Friends in Anaheim George Strobel of Hanford, formerly a well-known resident of this city, was in town last week calling on old-time friends and viewing the great improvements in this city and vicinity. He was accompanied by John S. Lynd of Hanford. The two gentlemen are making a tour of the southern counties and spent several days in town. Mr. Strobel's father, Major Max Strobel, was the first mayor of the city of Anaheim, along in the early seventies. He was a prominent resident of Anaheim, and was well and favorably known throughout the state. In 1873 he went to London to negotiate the sale of Catalina Island to a syndicate of British capitalists. While in the British metropolis he was stricken with appalexy and passed away. He built the brick residence on Lemon street, south of Broadway, which is still standing, where he lived with his family a number of years. Geo. Two months ago led and temporary Judge J. S. Howardident and J. H. W.A permanent organized at Thursday night temporary officers bienten. In addition to Mrs. H. O. Henderson, Mrs. J. H. Enehorse were chosen.D. G. Holt and T.F.commended as center from the city, and chairmen were appointed to select their assistants Advertising, D.C.Charles Eygabroad.L.Olmstead. The club is going sive campaign, and every republican in is no division among Anaheim. They in supporting the convention they wint in support of favoring many were disapproval favorites lost, but no believing that the city this fall is of more to represent us in congress we will not be in a position to demand favors from the ways and means committee. We should elect a man to congress who believes that the preservation of the citrus groves and the other great industries is of more consequence to the people of the district than the improvement of San Diego harbor. This district is normally republican by at least thirty thousand plurality. San Diego polls only one-third of the votes of the district, and yet we have been content to let San Diego dominate us, and have meekly obeyed its mandate issued every two years, to "kindly return their man to congress." It's time to wake up. The congress will order a redistricting of the United States and the eleventh district will be divided. We have too much population for one district and not enough for two. There has been some talk of Orange and San Diego being embodied in one district, but the people of this county should put up a determined fight against such a move. For the next ten years we would merely act as the tail of the San Diego kite. We would have no voice in the selection of our representative, and the only thing in our district worthy of the consideration of our congressman would be the San Diego harbor. Los Angeles county, of course, will be divided, and the proposal to form a district of Orange and the southern section of Los Angeles should meet with the approval of the people of this county. Our industries are identical, and we would send to Washington a representative familiar with our needs, and in sympathy with our interests. When the state is redistricted San Bernardino will also make a determined effort to break away from San Die- seventies. He was a prominent resident of Anaheim, and was well and favorably known throughout the state. In 1873 he went to London to negotiate the sale of Catalina Island to a syndicate of British capitalists. While in the British metropolis he was stricken with appaplexy and passed away. He built the brick residence on Lemon street, south of Broadway, which is still standing, where he lived with his family a number of years. Geo. Strobel is a well-to-do rancher of Hanford, and his two brothers, Lumay and Duke, are living with him. His elder brother, Otto, is employed at the San Pedro shipyards. George looked over the old files of the Gazette in this office, and made a stenographic copy of a long obituary notice of his father, which was printed in 1873. He met many old-time friends in town who were greatly pleased to meet with him again. He found changes here and many improvements, adding that Anaheim looked more prosperous to him than any town seen during his travels throughout Southern California. His eldest son, Roy, was a member of the expeditionary forces in France, and spent two years in that country. On his return he was accompanied by a beautiful French lady as his wife. A younger son was also in the army, but did not have a chance to go abroad. Mr. and Mrs. John Hartung came home from Venice last Friday, but found the weather so warm here that they hastened back to the seashore. R. E. Vaughn came down from Torrance last week to harvest the barley crop on his Cypress ranch. Mr. Vaughn is running a warehouse at Torrance. The club is going sive campaign, and every republican in it is no division among Anaheim.

OPENS THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN LOU GUERNSEY OF LOS ANGELES, DELIVERS STIRRING ADDRESS TO REPUBLICAN CLUB Judge Howard Chosen Permanent President and J. H. Whitaker Secretary—Club Expects to Make an Aggressive Campaign—Harmony in the Ranks Insures Big Majority for Harding and Coolidge The Anaheim Republican Club opened the campaign of 1920 at a meeting last Thursday evening, and it promises to stir things up in this vicinity and keep them stirred until all the Anaheim votes are polled on the second of November. There was a good attendance at the meeting in the board of trade rooms Thursday evening, following the announcement that Attorney Lou Guernsey of Los Angeles had been engaged to make an address. Mr. Guernsey is an able talker and an en Johnston, Harriet Muzzy, Jeannette Jessurun, Anna Muadt and Mildred Schulte. Marian Riley bore the ring while Evelyn Hartfield and Margery Schindler acted as flower girls. The groom was attended by his best man, Willum Jessurun. Rev. C. B. Hatch performed the ceremony after which a reception was held in the parlors of the church, refreshments being served by ladies of the church. The young couple left in the evening, for a short wedding trip, carrying with them the best wishes of numerous friends, and will be at home in the bungalow court on South Philadelphia street on their return. The bride is the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Jessurun, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Gibson of Lincoln avenue. Both are graduates of the Anaheim high school. The bride was also a student at the University of Southern California and California university, while the groom graduated at the state agricultural college at Davis. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HOLDS REGULAR MEETING Receiving of By-Laws and Appointment of Directors Acted Upon (By Albert Abbott) The first regular meeting of the new Anaheim Chamber of Commerce YOUNG GIRL WINS IN FIGHT WITH ASSAILANT PUTS UP DESPERATE BATTLE IN ORANGE GROVE IN DEFENSE OF HER HONOR Miss Priscilla Hiscox Help Up on Porch of Her Home and Forced at Revolver's Point by Unknown Man to March to Nearby Orrohard—Fights Man for Half Hour and Escapes Acting on the description furnished by the young lady, Officer Tex Choate Sunday night arrested Gus Barnholt on suspicion of being the man who assaulted Miss Priscilla Hiscox Saturday night, and lodged him in the county jail. Barnholt is 29 years of age and his dress corresponded with that worn by the man who assaulted the young lady. Miss Hiscox, a 17-year-old girl, lives at San Fernando, but for two weeks past she has been making her home with the family of Rev. John Knox, at A. U. W. Co. Following is the report of the superintendent submitted to the directors Saturday: Superintendent and zanjeros, $1315. Water pumpers, $350. Oil wells salary, $135. Cleaning CHAMBER OF COMMERCE HOLDS REGULAR MEETING Receiving of By-Laws and Appointment of Directors Acted Upon (By Albert Abbott) The first regular meeting of the new Anaheim Chamber of Commerce was held Monday evening. The committee on reorganization presented the by-laws which it had drafted within the last month. Minor changes were made in a few of the laws, but on the whole it was accepted as drafted by the committee, which shows the thoroughness of the energies put forth by the committee in behalf of the community. After the "tussel" with the "verbology" of the by-laws, the committee recommended a ticket of names for the new board of directors. This ticket was elected "by those present" by acclamation. The members now duly elected and officially the board of directors of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce are Charles Eygabroad, D. Jessurun, R. C. Berger, Horace Benjamin, John Cook, Dr. W. H. Johnston, A. W. Reeves, Leonard Evans and Harry D. Riley. This board of directors is officially authorized by the by-laws adopted to elect from its own board members, the president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, and two vice presidents, who shall be ex-officio officers at the meetings of the board. The board shall proceed to appoint (or hire) a secretary and a director of exhibits from the world at large, if necessary. The board has the power, and shall proceed to elect chairmen of committees, who in turn shall select their committeemen. As the thing stands now, it is up to the board of directors to officially "make things hum" in and for Anaheim. There is something like three hundred and thirty-seven businesses in Anaheim, every one of which should get into the chamber of commerce and get behind those who have the spirit to boost. Sunday night arrested Gus Barnholt on suspicion of being the man who assaulted Miss Priscilla Hiscox Saturday night, and lodged him in the county jail. Barnholt is 29 years of age and his dress corresponded with that worn by the man who assaulted the young lady. Miss Hiscox, a 17-year-old girl, lives at San Fernando, but for two weeks past she has been making her home with the family of Rev. John Knox, at 412 North Los Angeles street. Rev. Knox is conducting a series of meetings at Orange, and Saturday night he and Mrs. Knox attended the meeting leaving their two children in the care of Miss Hiscox. After putting the children to bed the young lady seated herself on the front porch, and about 10 o'clock, while reading under the porch light, was suddenly confronted by a man who wore a mask and flourished a gun. The girl ran into the house, but the man followed, seized her and dragged her out. Placing the revolver at her head he forced her to go with him to an orange grove, five or six blocks away where he attempt to assault her. She fought for half an hour and finally succeeded in breaking away from him and escaping without being harmed. Rev. and Mrs. Knox had returned from Orange, and finding the girl missing had started a search before she reached home. After she had told her story the sheriff's office was notified as well as the city police, and an all-night search was instituted. City Marshal Steaman and Officer Choate immediately responded to Rev. Knox's call, but the man had left no clew behind him. Several men from the sheriff's office came over and assisted in the search. The girl described the man as about 25 years of age, five feet, eight inches in height. He wore a man's coverall over his suit, and his face was partly hidden with a handkerchief which he tied over it. Barnholt, the man arrested by Choate, wore coveralls, and gave his age as 29. A. U. W. Co. Following is the report of the superintendent submitted to the directors Saturday: Superintendent and zanjeros, $1315. Water pumpers, $350. Oil wells salary, $135. Cleaning The club is going to make an aggressive campaign, and hopes to line up every republican in this section. There is no division among the republicans of Anaheim. They are unanimous in supporting the ticket. Before the convention they were widely divided in support of favorite candidates, and many were disappointed, because their favorites lost, but all are united now, believing that the success of the party this fall is of more consequence than the victory or defeat of any individual member of it. There are no soreheads among Anaheim Republicans. It is a straight-cut issue between the two parties this fall, and the vote on November 2 will show the numerical strength of each. PRETTY WEDDING AT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Miss Johanna Jessurun and Rex Gibson United in Marriage At noon Wednesday of last week, at the Presbyterian church, Miss Johanna Jessurun and Rex G. Gibson were united in marriage in the presence of 150 friends. The church was decorated with a wealth of flowers and greenery, a large wedding bell of green forming the center of a canopy under which the wedding varty stood. Before the entrance of the bridal party Mrs. Chas. Harbeson sang "Be loved, It Is Morn," and "O Promise Me," and as the party entered Miss Edna Hochuli played the Lohengrin wedding march. The bride was supported by her father, D. Jessurun, and was accompanied by her maid of honor, Miss Elisie Jessurun, and bridesmaids, Misses Myra Underhill, Lillis T. H. Hollingworth, who for many years has been a rural carrier from the Anaheim postoffice, has turned in his resignation preparatory to moving to Oregon where he recently purchased a tract of land. Will Llewellyn, assistant postmaster, will transfer himself to outdoor work, taking Mr. Hollingworth's route, and Miss Alice Robinson, money order clerk, has been advanced to the assistant postmastership. George Cupp is now acting as money order clerk. Leo McGavren has also resigned his clerkship and will help his father grow oranges on the North street ranch, and Ernest Hedges of Omaha, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hedges, will take his position. The estate of Theodore Ford, pioneer resident, who died at his home south of this city some months ago, has been appraised at $125.147. As the thing stands now, it is up to the board of directors to officially "make things hum" in and for Anaheim. There are something like three hundred and thirty-seven businesses in Anaheim, every one of which should get into the chamber of commerce and get behind those who have the spirit to boost. The next regular meeting will be the second Monday in July, when it is hoped that the boost spirit will be oozing over the ramparts of the Valencia hotel walls. In the meantime, the burden (or joy) of starting a thing that will "start something" for the town, rests on The Board of Directors of The Anaheim Chamber of Commerce. A. U. W. Co.

ZETTE LIBRARY STATE CALIFORNIA Number 36 BUSINESS LICENSES REVISED At the suggestion of several interested parties and because the city finances need to be reinforced to meet the salary increases which were needed to put the city departments and employees on a fair wage basis, a revision of the city licenses is proposed.

By ALBERT ABBOTT We read in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice these words: "The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons，stratagems，and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night, And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted." The first public outdoor band concert this season was given last Thursday night at the library grounds by the Anaheim Elks Band. In my time I have listened to all kinds of bands—good，bad and indifferent. I have listened to country-town bands，big-city bands，national bands，international bands，and military bands. So I'm pretty well banded (or branded). I have listened to bands in the islands of the Pacific (Hawaiian Islands)，and in the islands of the Atlantic (Coney Island，Long Island；and Block Island，Rhode Island). Therefore，I'll land. All this means that I never enjoyed a band concert any better than the one given last Thursday night by the Anaheim Elks Band. Taking all things into consideration，Anaheim's local organization is as good as any of them—big or little. As can be seen，I have listened to quite a number of bands；and，of course，I have met with some mediocre bands. With this last thought uppermost in my mind Thursday，我 prepared myself to stay at home Thurs-night，as I did not care to listen to any more mediocre music.I was comfortably situated in my domicile Thursday evening，when，at about 7:40 o'clock I looked out of the window and saw three of the musicians "all dolled up" in their immaculate white uniforms.Their uniforms got my eye,they were so nobby and natty.The thought that came to me was this: "If the Elks band can play in keeping with their high-class uniforms，I want to hear the band." The psychology of clothes worked on me.I immediately got busy and prepared myself to visit the library corner.I arrived at the library neighborhood at about 8 o'clock.The "stage" was all set for me.Automobiles were parked close together on Report of the supended to the direction of the zanjeros, $1315. 91.50. 1.75.

Roswell Franz and Miss Ethel Martin were married at Los Angeles Saturday and are spending this week on a honeymoon tour. They will make their home on North Olive street on their return.

I arrived at the library neighborhood at about 8 o'clock. The "stage" was all set for me. Automobiles were parked close together on both sides of Broadway for some distance east and west of Los Angeles street. These automobiles were all occupied by music lovers, no doubt, or they would not be there. Center street had its usual number of automobiles parked along its curbs. The free medical show at the west end of the block in which the band was holding forth, had its usual quota of patrons. So I take it that those who were not otherwise attracted, and were in attendance at the opening concert of the season, were real music lovers, the kind that Shakespeare did not mention in the verse quoted at the head of this article, but the kind he implied. The illuminated library building made an ideal background for the white-uniformed band. The band was perched upon a high platform. The string of incadescent bulb casting a glow of light on the uniforms and instruments made a very striking scene. At the west end of the library building was a large palm tree that gave a delightful set-off to the surroundings. The illuminated library building, the glowing uniforms and instruments, the touch of greenery made by the palm tree, the flood rays of light that went Heavenward, the darkness encircling (continued on page eight)
