HARDING AND COX Comparing the campaigns of the two candidates, the Republican Publicity Association, through its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., issues the following: "In the campaign now drawing to a close, the Republicans have had a double advantage—the strength of their own candidate and the weakness of the Democratic nominee. With the exception of Roosevelt in the 1904 campaign, no Republican nominee in recent years has had greater personal drawing power than has Hardnig. With the osseable erception of Parker in the same campaign, no Democratic nominee has done so much as Cox to injure his own cause. "Hardning has been dignified, serious, intellectual—participating in the discussion of the issues of the day in a manner that demonstrates full appreciation of the high importance of the office for which he has been nominated and of the responsibilities he will assume when elected. Mr. Cox has conducted a campaign such as would be expected in a contest for the control of the political machinery of a city ward—dealing in a misleading manner with matters which should be beneath the notice of a man who aspires to become the leader and spokesman of the greatest nation on earth. "In not a single instance has Harding made an appeal to class or local interest as distinguished from the interests of the nation as a whole. Mr. Cox has lost no opportunity to inject into his speeches a local coloring designed to win votes in the community in which he happened to be speaking—his views there expressed being left unuttered in other communities where they would be less acceptable. Harding has been the same to all men; Cox has tried to be all things to all men—" SINGLE TAX OPPOSITION IS STRONG State-wide Campaign is Headed by Two Big Organizations. Two powerful organizations of business men, and business women, professional men and women, members of commercial and civic bodies, and clubs with members of both sexes, all voters in California, are making a state-wide campaign, the Anti-Single Tax Association, north of the Tohachapi, and the People's Anti-Single Tax League, south of the Tehachapi, in opposition to the single tax movement, which is centered in California this year. The single tax advocates have placed Amendment Number 20 on the ballot at the coming November election, and are making a vigorous fight for its adoption. It will be entitled "Land Values Taxation," and it is the most radical measure the single taxpayers have yet advocated in any part of the United States. To the heart Some years struggle to our helm there we and earnestly men were spared ence to the acting of the saloim.

Come now law, loyalty a voters of our to stand firm good and be referendum This is know "In not a single instance has Harding made an appeal to class or local interest as distinguished from the interests of the nation as a whole. Mr. Cox has lost no opportunity to inject into his speeches a local coloring designed to win votes in the community in which he happened to be speaking—his views there expressed being left unuttered in other communities where they would be less acceptable. Harding has been the same to all men; Cox has tried to be all things to all men—anything to win votes. Throughout the campaign Harding has called into conference with him hundreds of members of the Republican party, whose representative he is, and has thus indicated in a practical way his purpose to take counsel of large numbers of citizens after he shall have been elected. He has not assumed omnipotence—neither has he surrendered to any man or small group of men. The first act of Cox after his nomination was to speed his way to the White House to bend the supple hinges of his knee before the great American autocrat who will tolerate no man whose mind refuses to go along with his. Mr. Wilson announced that their minds were at one on the league question, and Mr. Cox declared that whatever Mr. Wilson had promised Europe, he would put forth his every effort to fulfill. So far as the public knows Mr. Cox has taken counsel with no others. Mr. Harding has stood openly and frankly for America First, in nationalism, in industry, in finance, in merchant marine, in diplomacy. While he has been for America first, he has not been for America only. Like all true Americans he proposes that this nation shall deal generously with all other nations, ready to render prompt and substantial assistance in time of need—but always in accordance with our own freely exercised judgment as each occasion shall arise. Mr. Cox has been for internationalism—which means consideration of the rest of the world first, and, therefore, America last. He proposes that America shall act in international affairs in accordance with the decree of a superstate controlled by nations whose past record does not compare in humanitarianism with our own. Mr. Harding proposes that the United States shall act from time to time as it deems best—Mr. Cox proposes that the United States shall act as it is told. In his native ability, in his habits of thought and action, Mr. Harding shows the qualities Milbank Johnson, B.S., M.D., L.L.D. Ex-President Cal. Conference of Social Agencies. Dr. Milbank Johnson, B.S., M.D., L.L.D., of Los Angeles, who has been one of the most active of the opponents of single tax in California, points out that the particular wording makes this the most radical of all the amendments the single taxers have put up to voters anywhere, going far beyond even Henry George's theory of taxation, and presenting to the people of the State of California a menace more terrible than any ever presented by the single taxers, or any other of the socialistically inclined agitators of the United States. So extreme is it in its tendency that it has aroused the opposition of every one of the business interests of the state, the property owners and the laboring people alike. The farmers are up in arms against it. Dr. Johnson, whose name stands for much in the work of social betterment says of the present attempt: "I feel it a duty I owe to the people of California to make the greatest attempt possible to warn every one of them of the dangers of this single tax iniquity. So deeply interested did I become in this matter after the result of the election two years ago was announced, and when it became known that the single taxers were planning another attempt this year, that I took the time to go to British Columbia accompanied by John P. Steele, secretary of the People's Anti-Single Tax League, and remained there for several weeks, getting full and correct information regarding the effects of the operation of single tax methods of taxation in the cities of that province of Canada. "I found that in a large majority of the cities of British Columbia, including the cities of Vancouver and Victoria, single tax had been given a thorough trial, to the great sorrow of all those who were instrumental in securing its adoption in those municipalities." "My investigations, and those of Mr." proposes that America shall act in international affairs in accordance with the decree of a superstate controlled by nations whose past record does not compare in humanitarianism with our own. Mr. Harding proposes that the United States shall act from time to time as it deems best—Mr. Cox proposes that the United States shall act as it is told. "In his native ability, in his training, in his habits of thought and action, Mr. Harding shows the qualities of a statesman. In his every word and act since he came into national view, Mr. Cox has displayed only the characteristics of a cheap politician—unqualified for the discussion of national problems and unfitted for the high office of President. "Republicans have seldom had a stronger candidate—Democrats have seldom had a weaker." HEAVIEST REGISTRATION IN HISTORY Registration for the general election November 2 totals 1,374,184, which is the largest in the history of California. This is according to official figures announced today by Secretary of State Jordan. The registration for the Presidential election in 1916 was 1,314,446. As was the case at the direct primary election, the registration is overwhelmingly Republican, 854,975 citizens having declared their affiliation with that party, as compared with 299,861 Democrats. There is a large nonpartisan registration, those who declined to state their party numbering 171,736. The Progressive party is lowest with a registration of only 6,342; the Socialists next, 19,828, and the Prohibitionists, 20,050. To the People of Anaheim, Greeting: Some years ago during that long struggle to oust the saloons from Anaheim there were those who thought and earnestly believed what the saloon men were spreading broadcast in reference to the adverse effect of the closing of the saloons would have on Anaheim. In fact the pro-saloonists went to far, as to proclaim that without saloons Anaheim business would die of stagnation, that the town would be dead and that grass would again flourish in the main business streets. Time has proven otherwise, legitimate business which had long been held in check by the blighting conditions fostered by saloons sprang into a new life that surprised everyone, even the advocates of law and loyalty and completely put to route the prosaloonists. The recoil was so intense that new business sprang up and business blocks were added one after another in rapid succession, and still one reality firm, alone, reports the turring away of at least one business every day, for lack of more business blocks. Never in the city's history has there been such growth and business prosperity. In the saloon days our city was the rendezvous of all the thugs, bums and riff-raff not only of this county but other counties as well. Drunkenness and carousel was the order of the day and likewise the night. All is changed. Whoever sees the drunken man now! Come now, once again the hosts of law, loyalty and prosperity to ask the voters of our lovely city and envirous, to stand firm and loyal for all that is good and best, by voting "yes" on referendum Two on the ballot Nov. 2. This is known as the prohibition ordinance and to the enemy that had cost us the lives of our best and bravest sons and a treasure beyond comprehension, the egoist of the White House, when he called forth single handed and alone to recast, in his own name, and by his own proper authority', the map and the destinies of the earth, demanded uncontrolled power. "Understanding the possibilities of the investment of all these mighty forces in the uncontrolled power of a single individual, the American people, with that great good sense which makes them worthy of their heritage, promptly repudiated the preposterous suggestion and gave him a Republican Senate and house, whose courage and patriotism saved what our grandsires established and what our fathers preserved. "Unabashed by this rebuke, and with an obstinacy of purpose which had for its end an ambition that would have aroused jealousy in the breast of an Alexander or a Napoleon. Mr. Wilson took his way to Paris, undertook to put us in a superfederation of the world by what is called a League of Nations and is now about to receive the nation's verdict through a grave and solemn referendum in which he is represented by his proxy, Mr. Cox. "The proposed covenant instead of abolishing war, actually sanctions, breeds and commands it. Moreover, it absolutely requires that every future war shall be a potential world war, and that we shall be an active participant in every such war. "We are thus thrust fully into the terrible caldron of European politics, and every outbreak in the Balkans, even domestic, if it threatens international war, will call for some expenditure of treasure, for some shedding of American blood, for some loss of American life. It is idle to say sad fatuous to hope or believe these out- THEY CUT THE DOLLAR IN HALF— The value of the dollar in the mercantile world is about half what it was before the war. Some day it will be restored to its original value. The man or woman who anticipates this day and will become a depositor here, will smile happily in time to come.
