STEPHENS FOR GOVERNOR Gov. William D. Stephens in announcing his candidacy for re-election, gives the following statement to the press of the state: More vital to the state or the nation than the personal aspirations of any man, is the maintenance of a system of government consonant with the ideals and interests of the people. Realizing that, because of reactionary activities, a change of administration at this time would mean a complete change in the character of government that this state has endorsed and ratified on many occasions, I hereby submit my candidacy for re-election as governor of the state of California. The greatest good to the greatest number, the maintenance of law and order, and the progressive development of the human and material interests of this state, have been the guiding principles of my administration of the state's affairs, and of the legislation that I have approved. This has been evidenced in our agricultural progress, in our educational expansion, in our extension of child welfare work, in our anti-alien legislation, in our highway development, in our soldier welfare program, in our legislative support of national constitutional prohibition, in our equalization of taxes to the end that public service corporations should pay their just proportion in harmony with the demands of our state constitution, in our increased efficiency through administrative re-organization and consolidation, and in other measures upon which I am prepared to stand, as an evidence of good faith, and as a guaranty of the continuation of progressive policies in this state. Notwithstanding the greatest increase in the most of materials and in the cost of living, that nation has every experienced, our state expenditure from this investigation, which will possibly have a direct bearing upon the regulations of street traffic throughout America, it is declared by local club officials. At the present time the pedestrain usually gets the best of it, it is pointed out, and has an unrestricted freedom of the highways and streets which is not accorded in the same measure to the owner of an automobile. The auto club objects in looking into the matter with the possible intention of suggesting new laws for California is for the adjustment of affairs between the motorist and the pedestrian so that both may function more harmoniously. Now, as things stand, the pedestrian is allowed to wander into the highway or street at will, wherever and whenever the spirit moves him and with no regard to any moral rights which the driver of a motor car may have, it is pointed out by the authorities. That the freedom of the streets might well be regulated is the contention of thousands of motorists, according to the auto club officials. Hundreds of letters have been received by the organization favoring such a consideration. COAST HIG..WAY WORK That there is possibility of construction work on the first section of the coast boulevard through Orange county getting under way by September 1, was revealed with the announcement by W. W. Patch, wivision engineer in the Los Angeles office of the state highway commission, that bids for building the section between the city limits of Long Beach and Huntington Beach would be advertised within the next two weeks. Patch said that he expected bids for the work to be opened about August 1, with probability of actual construc-tion. PRAISE F Those who have heard Phil D. Swing feel that he deserves clamation. Nobody could lie than has Swing somewhere with them. Here is what they whose editor State King has been con- be a candidate for this year but some say about Swing: "Reports from the effect that the control of the Colo- building of a great under control of its ment, is in favor resentatives.

It will re it is true, to comp- proportion in harmony with the demands of our state constitution, in our increased efficiency through administrative re-organization and consolidation, and in other measures, upon which I am prepared to stand, as an evidence of good faith, and as a guaranty of the continuation of progressive policies in this state. Notwithstanding the greatest increase in the most of materials and in the cost of living, that nation has every experienced, our state expenditures have been held to a strictly conservative basis in all our normal administrative functions. Only in the educational and constructive activities has there been any marked increase, and the larger part of this advance was necessitated by the direct vote of the people, whose right it is to determine how much money shall be used and for what purposes. Even including these expanding activities California's state government has increased its expenses less proportionately than any other big business within the state and this increase has gone into developments which are vital to our future economic and business welfare. In California after the war reactionary interests sought to control the legislature and to weaken the administration by a subtle and organized movement which was as dangerous to the economic welfare and democratic government of our people as any corporate control that was ever exercised in the history of the state but fortunately in battling against these forces the people were victorious. I am fully aware that these selfish interests have thrown down the gauntlet in the coming election and I feel called upon to fight again for the maintenance of government for the people and by the people. The State's future is bright with promise. The rapidity of our progress and the safety of our institution demand a government in which are combined, a courage to meet reactionary propaganda, an understanding of existing economic conditions, a cautious attitude toward increasing expenditures, a practical sympathy for the human welfare of our people and a constructive policy of state development. To meet these demands I pledge my best endeavors. AWAITING HARBOR REPORT Harbor commissioners and others interested in Newport harbor and its development are eagerly awaiting the coast boulevard through Orange county getting under way by September 1, was revealed with the announcement by W. W. Patch, wivision engineer in the Los Angeles office of the state highway commission, that bids for building the section between the city limits of Long Beach and Huntington Beach would be advertised within the next two weeks. Patch said that he expected bids for the work to be opened about August 1, with probability of actual construction starting a month later. Phil Stanton has agreed to give a right of way through property at Seal Beach, according to J. L. McBride, superintendent of county highways. The improvement along the beach will be a twenty-foot wide pavement of six-inch concrete, Patch said. According to the commission, progress on the boulevard work has been retarded by an injunction suit filed by Scott Alexander, of Long Beach, who sought to force the commission to route the boulevard along the beach between Long Beach and Naples instead of the route selected through Naples, and failure of Orange county to secure deeds to other rights of way needed. ROOSTER INTRUDES ON GRANT DAY CEREMONY These geese whose cackling saved Rome, will please move over and make room in the zoological hall of fame for a rooster which has established a claim to historical recognition by sharing a program with the president of the United States—and breaking the long distance crowing record, into the bargain. Shortly before the exercises in commemoration of the anniversary of the birth of Ulysses S. Grant were begun at Point Pleasant, Ohio, on April 27, the chanticleer in question, no doubt unable to master the feeling of local pride which the other four score inhabitants of the little village were more successful in concealing, mounted to the rostrum and crowed lustily. The feathered orator's tribute to his honored fellow townsman was heard distinctly in Cincinnati, thirty miles away. It happened that the bird had selected for his unsolicited addition to the program a point directly in front of the transmitter connected by telephone wires with the Bell loud speaking apparatus which enabled a crowd of 20,000 people gathered in Lytle park to hear the entire program at Point Pleasant. listing economic conditions, a cautious attitude toward increasing expenditures, a practical sympathy for the human welfare of our people and a constructive policy of state development. To meet these demands I pledge my best endeavors. AWAITING HARBOR REPORT Harbor commissioners and others interested in Newport harbor and its development are eagerly awaiting the time for definite action in preparing a report set forth by Major General Lansing H. Beach, who looked over the harbor possibilities at Newport on Wednesday. Following a report by the general in which he told his part in the matter, Major Ardery, district engineer, spoke briefly on the future work to be done in the harbor if the federal action in the matter proves favorable. He expressed a desire to co-operate with Orange county in every way to make the harbor possible. D. Eyman Huff, chairman of the harbor board, told of the general support given the harbor by Orange county citizens, and the county-wide interest shown. Interesting facts and figures concerning present commerce in and out of the harbor at the present time and what might easily be expected, were given by J. A. Beck, harbormaster. RIGHTS OF MOTORISTS AND PEDESTRIANS A widespread and intensive consideration of the rights of motorists and pedestrians is being conducted at the present time by the legal department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. Some interesting results are ex- ANAHEIM GAZETTE PRAISE FOR SWING Those who have followed Congressman Phil D. Swing's work at congress feel that he deserves re-election by acclamation. Nobody could have worked harder than has Swing. Moreover, he gets somewhere with the things he starts. Here is what the Redlands Facts, whose editor State Senator Lyman M. King has been considered as likely to be a candidate for congressman, not this year but some other year, has to say about Swing: "Reports from Washington are to the effect that the Swing bill for the control of the Colorado river and the building of a great dam at Boulder, under control of the general government, is in favor in the house of representatives. Congressman Swing, through his intimate knowledge of the situation as the Colorado river affects California and Arizona, is in a position to be of large usefulness to his district and to his state. As one of the younger and newer members of the house, he has stepped to the front raplily, and on sheer merit. PREVENTABLE FLOODS The Colorado river has done and is doing a vast deal of damage in the Palo Verde valley, in the east end of Riverside county. Congress is being urged to give immediate relief, and probably will do so. But the relief that should be given to the Palo Verde and Imperial valleys in Caalifornia, and other valleys along the lower course of the Colorado, should be permanent relief. Building of the projected Boulder dam would remove this portentous menace of floods. There will be periodic destructive overflows until that great work is put through to consumption. It will require several years, it is true, to complete that work. But the republic, when a Frenchman was sent home for impudent and defiant propaganda. There have been several similar incidents, among which the case of Sackville-West was prominent. It is not necessary to go as far back as Kas that, however, for the conduct of a foreign ambassador during the early stages of the world war caused the United States to ask his recall. Perhaps it suits certain Democratic editors to use ebery foul means to assail a Republican protective tariff, but when they go so far as to justify foreign propaganda by duly accredited ambassadors they transgress the decencies. UNREASONABLE DEMOCRATS Just because Senator Jim Reed was right on the league of nations issue a lot of Democrats can't forgive him. Do they wont him to be wrong on everything. A. W. WOOD OF ANAHEIM CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR Of Orange County Primary Election, Tuesday, August 29, 1922 FOREIGN PROPAGANDA This effort of certain leading Democratic newspapers to uphold the actions of foreign ambassadors in transgressing diplomatic rights and privileges is more than nonsensical—it is mischievous and un-American.
