VOLUME LIV COOLIDGE HAS NOMINATION CINCHED MORE THAN SEVEN HUNDRED DELEGATES INSTRUCTED FOR THE PRESIDENT California Republicans Cannot Afford to Trail a Loser, But Will Join the Victorious Procession Next Tuesday—Vote in Opposition to Johnson in the East Overwhelming—Big Majority for Coolidge in California Probably Means Nomination of C. C. Chapman for Vice President. More than enough pledged delegates have been chosen to insure that President Coolidge will be nominated on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, which meets on June 10th. Doubt no longer remains that the President will be named on the first influence of the Republican Party of California shall once more be recognized in the National Councils of the Party and California have due recognition from a Republican Administration in all that concerns its material welfare and prosperity. For twelve years the Republican Party of California has been undeserving of such recognition because it failed to support candidates having the confidence of the great Republican States of the East and Middle West. The day has arrived when Republicans of California should cooperate and give their support to the popular candidate of those great sections. Sympathy for the personal ambition of one of its citizens, impossible of achievement, must not be permitted to deprive California of its influence and position nationally. Republicans of California, on May 6th you can do your part, best perform the duties of citizenship giving California the place its potential, political and material power entitle it by voting at the Presidential Primary for the delegates preferring Calvin Coolidge for President. You can also greatly assist by urging your friends to vote and work for the election of a Coolidge delegation from California. Vote for the following: William H.

Stricken suddenly eating breakfast cafe Thursday morning Brown, Justice of heim township, a corder, died two County hospital accompanied into R. E. Dobson and one of the young More than enough pledged delegates have been chosen to insure that President Coolidge will be nominated on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, which meets on June 10th. Doubt no longer remains that the President will be named on the first ballot. The only doubt is that any other name will be presented. At any rate, at the conclusion of the roll-call on the first ballot, President Coolidge will have been chosen, nominated and so proclaimed by the chairman of the convention. This outcome was predicted months ago by this newspaper. It was written large on the face of political events. It was inevitable. President Coolidge has measured up to the requirements of this high office. He is proving that he is one of the really great Presidents the country has had—fair, courageous, positive, straightforward, he has met every issue in a masterly manner, and endeared himself to the American people regardless of political party lines. With this situation clearly before us, what is to be the position of California Republicans? Shall California be represented by a delegation hostile to President Coolidge, which will sit there, sullen, while the delegates from the other states roll up the Coolidge majority and name the Republican party's standard bearer? Do the Republicans of California want to see this state virtually the only one in the Union not loyal to the President, not counted as one of the original Coolidge states? Do California Republicans wish their state to be regarded by the remainder of the country as hostile, or at best, grudgingly loyal, to the Republican party's presidential nominee? Probably no State in the Union will have more need of the good will of the national administration during the next four years than California. The entire state has necessities for which aid will be imperative. Our citrus, fruit, mining, transportation, shipping, coast defense, labor and educational interests—especially our water irrigation and flood control interests—these are only a few of the vital problems which will be demanding sympathetic cooperation by those who are in control at Washington. What will be California's position if she republicans of California, on May 6th you can do your part, best perform the duties of citizenship giving California the place its potential, political and material power entitle it. by voting at the Presidential Primary for the delegates preferring Calvin Coolidge for President. You can also greatly assist by urging your friends to vote and work for the election of a Coolidge delegation from California. Vote for the following: William H. Crocker, Delegate at Large, Burlingame, banker, pioneer Californian and upbuilder of the west, is Republican National Committee for California. Chas. C. Teague, Delegate at Large of Santa Paula, agriculturist, is president of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, of the Teague-McKevitt Company and is a member of the National Board of Stanford University. Florence Collins Porter, Delegate at Large, South Pasadena, is a lecturer author and woman suffrage worker. She was the first woman delegate in the National Republican Convention, 1912. Frank C. Jordan, Delegate at Large rose cultivator of Auburn and widely known native son, has been Secretary of State for California since 1910, having formerly served as Clerk of the Supreme Court and prior to that as Clerk of Alameda County. Charles C. Chapman, Delegate at Large, a citrus fruit grower of Fullerton and former publisher of historical books, is mentioned as a Vice Presidential possibility. Lewis H. Smith, Delegate at Large, Fresno, four minute war-time speaker, former City Attorney of Fresno, past President of the Fresno Chamber of Commerce, is a well known Fresno attorney. Mrs. Addie Garwood Estes, Delegate at Large, of Berkeley, native daughter and life-time temperance worker, is State President of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Fred C.

He is engaged in the real estate business in Uklah, Mendocino County and was for twenty years business manager of the Mendocino State Hospital. Glenn E.

Our citrus, fruit, mining, transportation, shipping, coast defense, labor and educational interests—especially our water irrigation and flood control interests—these are only a few of the vital problems which will be demanding sympathetic cooperation by those who are in control at Washington. What will be California's position, if she demonstrate hostility now, and later go to ask for warm, enthusiastic support from a President whom some Republicans would now refuse to support—and refuse it in the face of the assurance that he is to be the party's nominee? What earthly reason can be given later on for hostility now? Machine politicians in the state, could they, would drive California into that dilemma. They have no right at all to attempt to do so. Their appeal must be repudiated overwhelmingly. California should show herself now loyal to Coolidge, loyal to the national administration. President Coolidge has demonstrated himself a real friend of California. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, and Wilbur, Secretary of the Navy, are in his cabinet. Laborer and farmer, merchant and clerk—all should join hands and roll up a tremendous majority for Coolidge and proseprity. California, today, with Hoover and Wilbur in the cabinet, may be of as commanding influence as any state in the Union. Shall we throw away our opportunity? Shall we permit the enemies of the President to speak for California Republicans? Shall we trail a loser? May 6th is a decisive day in the political history of California. Republicans then must decide whether the Glenn E. Murdock, Delegate First Congressional District, of Santa Rosa, was for twelve years treasurer of Sonoma County. He has since engaged in ranching and is now identified with the Bank of Italy. C. H. Segerstrom, Delegate Second Congressional District, miner, farmer, lawyer and banker of Sonora, is vice president of the Mother Lode Highway Association and Chairman of the Tuolumne County Republican Central Committee.

Jacob Wintter of 519 East Broadway, one of the old time residents of the city, reached his 74th birthday last Saturday, and was agreeably surprised when a number of his friends dropped in to assist him in observing the day. Mr. Wintter is one of the oldest settlers in the city, coming here in 1870, when the town was only an infant. He has seen it develop from a straggling village of wood and adobe houses to its present size. During his 54 years residence here Mr. Wintter has always conducted himself as a good citizen should, and has accumulated a long list of warm NEW TRUSTEES GET DOWN TO BUSINESS FIRST SESSION DEVOTED MOSTLY TO CONSIDERATION OF APPOINTMENTS City Manager Steward's Resignation was Accepted and the Office May be Abolished—Clyde Butler temporarily Filling the Job—W. P. Webb, Jr., Appointed City Attorney—Appointment of City Recorder Held Up for the Present—Moody Reappointed City Marshal. The new city council, which began its government of the city last Monday night when organization was effected by the election of E. H. Metcalf as Mayor, plunged into actual work at the first regular meeting Thursday night. The principal business under consideration at this meeting however, was the appointment of Stricken suddenly with illness while eating breakfast at the Silver Moon cafe Thursday morning, Judge G. B. Brown, justice of the peace of Anaheim township, and former city recorder, died two hours later at the County hospital. Judge Brown was accompanied into the restaurant by R. E. Dobson and Harold Berger, and one of the young men gave him a drink of bootleg booze. Shortly afterward Brown sank into unconsciousness, and thinking he had been overcome by the liquor the young men carried him to an auto and drove out of town, believing the fresh air would revive him. It soon became apparent, however, that he was seriously ill, consequently he was rushed to the County Hospital, where he died without regaining consciousness. The remains were brought to Back, Terry & Campbell's parlors where an inquest was held Friday afternoon. Dr. J. W. Truxaw made a post mortum examination and testified that death was caused by endocarditis, from which he had suffered for months. His heart was in such a condition that death may have overtaken him at any time. The drink of liquor probably caused the attack, but a cup of strong coffee might have had the same effect. Judge Brown was born in Santa Ana 44 years ago. He was a nephew of W. H. Spurgeon, founder of Santa Ana, and one of the best known pioneers of Southern California. Was a printer in his younger days, but was forced to give up the work because of his crippled condition. Several years ago he came to Anaheim, and for a time made his home with his sister, Mrs. Mollie Waters, on North Olive Street. At the time of his death he was living at the Central Hotel, over the S. Q. R. store. Twenty-five years ago he was attacked with paralysis, his lower limbs being effected. The complaint gradually grew worse, but he was still able to get about, slowly and painfully with the aid of crutches. This affliction was the cause of the heart disease which caused his death. A couple of years ago he was appointed city recorder, and later elected to the office of justice of the peace. While acting as city recorder Rev Leon Myers, pastor of the Christian church and leader of the Myers Men's Bible Class, filed charges against him with the city trustees claiming that he was too lenient in dealing with Stricken suddenly with illness while eating breakfast at the Silver Moon cafe Thursday morning, Judge G.

"All animals of every description including dogs and cats are prohibited from running at large on the public highway. Many of these animals are shot daily by the Humane Officer" The body was brought to Backs, Terry & Campbell's parlors where an inquest was held Tuesday afternoon by Coroner Brown. Dr. J. W. Truxaw made a post mortem examination of the body. Both the Villalopez brothers and Marquez immediately disappeared after the shooting, and it is presumed they headed toward Mexico. Mexican neighbors stated that the three of them left in Marquez's Ford car, but officers are not inclined to believe that story. BIRTHDAY PARTY Mrs. J. B. Rae and her daughter, Miss E. Kate Rae, gave a delightful party at their home on Broadway Saturday afternoon in honor of the birthday anniversary of Miss Elsie Aubert. The party was a surprise to Miss Aubert, who is one of the city's best known society ladies, having been a resident here for thirty years. She was the recipient of many presents on this occasion. The guests were the honoree, Miss Elsie Aubert and her sister Miss Nettle Aubert, Miss Annie Crawford, Mrs. W. N. Wickett, Mrs. Paul Gertch, Mrs. A. A. Mills, Mrs. Elizabeth Stonebraker, Mrs. Helen Hatfield, Mrs. Louis Nothaf, Mrs. W. A. Ross, Mrs. R. L. Coons, Mrs. T. H. Walker, Mrs. B. Bruce, Mrs. J. Wenger, Mrs. Dalsy Pasey, Mrs. F. K. Day, Miss Dora Clark, Mrs. H. A. Hawley, Mrs. L. E. Miller, Mrs. A. Gibbs, Mrs. H. E. Pearson, Miss Eleanor Parker, Mrs. T. Scott, Mrs. O. S. Renner, Mrs. Eliza B. Mills, Mrs. R. K. Seale, Mrs. Nellie Terry, and Mrs. Jean R. Minor. The trouble with so many of the advertised "good books," lately, is that they are bad books. The reappointment of Bert Moody as city marshal and chief of police will meet with universal approval. As head of the police department Bert has made a clean record, and gained the confidence of all the people. The application of Judge J. F. Ahborn for reappointment as city recorder was not acted upon, but was laid on the table to be considered at a later date. Vard W. Hannum was reappointed as Superintendent of the power house. There will be no change in the office of the rate collector, as W. A. Wallace, chief of that department for many years past, was reappointed. Marcus Andrade, who has served many years on the police force, turned in his resignation and the same was accepted. Marcus has been a valuable man on the board owing to his influence over the Mexican population and his ability to talk Spanish. A communication from S. L. Scott, Kleagle of the Ku Klux Klan, was read by Clork Merritt and will be filed among the archives. It follows: To the new Councillor of Anaheim, Greetings: It is now no secret that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan were a considerable factor in your election to the position of responsibility which you now occupy by reason of our suffrages with which we helped to elevate you to office. Therefore, we desire at the outset of your work to place you at ease as to our expectations because of the above facts. First of all let us say that we do not expect any favors whatsoever not granted to any and every other citizen of Anaheim. We want and expect no reward for our service which has been rendered in what we believe to be the cause of right and the election ZETTE Number 29 JUSTEES DOWN TO PRESS VOTED MOST-REPRATION OF EVENTS Ward's Resignation the Office May be Butler Tempe Job—W.

If our members are caught breaking the laws of our country the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan stand ready to back you to the limit in administering to them deserved punishment.

Indications are that the strenuous battle against the foot and mouth disease has effectually checked the spread of the plague, and that there is little danger of new territory being added to the quarantined area, and it is hoped some of the iron-clad rules governing the quarantine will be speedily lifted.

THREE ESTABLISHMENTS DAMAGED BY FIRE Old Building at Chartres and Los Angeles Streets Gutted by Flames Fire Sunday afternoon almost completely destroyed the cigar store of Dad Kennedy at the corner of Charres and Los Angeles Streets, and caused heavy damage to the Witers Auto Top Shop, the tent and awning shop, and the Alax Tire Store in the same building. These businesses are located in the old wooden building on North Los Angeles Street, formerly occupied by the Pacific Implement Co., now owned by E. E. Beasley of Fullerton. The fire was caused by the explosion of a gasoline torch which Harvey Witers was using. An attempt to put it out with a fire extinguisher kept on the place failed, because the extinguisher refused to work. The blaze spread rapidly, but was soon gotten under control when the department arrived. Kennedy's Cigar Store and the Auto Top Shop were almost destroyed, while considerable damage was sustained by the Tire Store. The walls and roof of the building were burned through in several places. As it stands within the inner fire zone where permits for wooden buildings will not be granted, it cannot be repaired, and probably will be torn down. The owner purchased it some months ago with the intention of eventually erecting a substantial business block on the ground. The loss by the fire is estimated at $5000. All of the parties suffering Indicataions are that the strenuous battle against the foot and mouth disease has effectually checked the spread of the plague, and that there is little danger of new territory being added to the quarantined area, and it is hoped some of the iron-clad rules governing the quarantine will be speedily lifted. Law-abiding citizens who are prone to accept the edicts of constituted authority without protest are beginning to feel that many of the restrictions imposed by the quarantine officials were uncalled for, and that their liberties and pursuits have been unnecessarily abridged. In Orange County business has been demoralized, recreation interfered with, and yet there is not a case of the plague in the county. The same is true of all the other counties in the Southland. However the epidemic has apparently been checked by the harsh measures employed, and people are looking forward hopefully to a speedy lifting of all embargoes. Governor Richardson, who came south to investigate in person, recently made the following statement: "Keep cool and don't get excited. There is no cause for hysteria. The foot and mouth disease eradication campaign is coming along in good shape and authorities are getting control of it." Most of these quarantine regulations laid down by various counties are illegal and ridiculous. Few county Supervisors know anything whatsoever about the disease. Counties should let the Federal Government and State officials, who are authorities on the foot and mouth disease, handle all quarantine restrictions. Many of these present inter-county quarantine laws are absurd. The travel restrictions especially between counties are positively ridiculous. People should be permitted to go where they choose, provided, of course, they stay out of infected areas and do not come in contact with cattle. The action of counties in laying down silly regulations has a bad effect on every one. Another county heavy of it and follows suit. As a result fear is spread unnecessarily. The State of California will follow the lead of the United States Government's experts.

TALBERT WELL FLOWS HEAVY OIL SAND Discovery of a heavy oil sand in a flowing artesian well belonging to Samuel Talbert, at Talbert, become known Monday. The well was recently put on the pump and according to employees of Talbert, as soon as the pumping began the flow of water showed the oil. Discovery was made about a week ago, it was said, but the fact was kept quiet. The well, about 160 feet deep, is situated in a peat pit in the center of an eighty-acre field, southwest of the Talbert residence and the main part of the town. Considerable oil sand as well as oil mixed with the water has already been taken from the well. Geologists are said to have declared that the formation of the sand indicates that it is identical with the sand found in the Huntington Beach filed.
