C. CHAPMAN From the California Republican The serious consideration of Charles C. Chapman as the Republican nominee for Vice-President, by prominent Republicans in California, has extended to other states. The distinguished California philanthropist has not been a seeker of this office. The movement to place his name before the National Republican Convention in Cleveland, which begins on June 10, originated among his neighbors in Orange County, during February, 1924 at a meeting in Fullerton. Mr. Chapman was complimented by the good will thus expressed, but did not move in any manner to nurse that incipient boom. Nevertheless, once the proposal had been advanced, it was accepted, first, as quite worthy of attention, and, later, so it has been made known, was taken up by party leaders in the East. When Mr. Chapman was nominated to be a California delegate-at-large to Cleveland Convention on the Coolidge ticket, his California neighbors began to inquire into those factors in his life which would affect his availability on the national ticket. One incident which was revealed especially the animal industry it causes other states to draw embargoes prohibiting the free movement of commerce and thus eventually it indirectly effects every business and profession. The general public tires of strict regulations in a very short time and any one who may say that this or that thing is unnecessary, he will naturally appeal to the mob and rabble and they are ready to go to any extreme to break down the rules and orders issued by those who are trying to pull the state and nation out of this crisis in which we have found ourselves. Not only do we hear from street corners that this or that thing is unnecessary but some of our best informed men are ready to go out and denounce the regulations that have been put into effect. I think it is squarely up to every citizen to give this matter serious consideration, and if he wants to bankrupt the state of California and spread this malignant malady to other states and nations, his poisoned propaganda will help to do it. If he will stay at home or try to help to hold up the orders of those in charge, I am sure we will eventually succeed in stamping out the infections. We know that mistakes are being made daily by those who have these regulations to enforce and in all law enforcement about all the officials in charge gets out of his work is vituperation from some of his best friends. There are statements floating around that this disease can be cured by certain man. So far as the authorities are informed there is no known cure for the disease and has to run its course in every animal. This may mean death or that the animals are worthless for meat or dairy purposes for several months, and as soon as the animal is back to a normal condition it is subject to reinforcement. This is an important situation.

When Mr. Chapman was nominated to be a California delegate-at-large to Cleveland Convention on the Coolidge ticket, his California neighbors began to inquire into those factors in his life which would affect his availability on the national ticket. One incident which was revealed was regarded by many as having had a potent effect on the life of Mr. Chapman—when, as a messenger boy, in 1865, he carried the telegram announcing the death of Abraham Lincoln. Powerfully, this tragedy influenced the lad, and through the years, there was deep study of the life of the Emancipator. The result was that the dominant principle in Lincoln's career—Service—became the governing motive in the Chapman activities. As the years passed, he climbed the ladder of success. At first his work was humble, a bricklayer. But, by merit, he became a superintendent of construction. Finally, he was publisher of historical and biographical works, with his brother, in the Chapman Publishing Company, in Chicago. In 1894, he came to California, and has since been one of the leading orchardists and business men of California. The Chapman Mission brand of oranges has become widely known the country over. Mr. Chapman is a member of the Christian Church, and of the General Board of the Young Men's Christian Association. It has been said by his admirers—not by him, for he modestly refrains from self-praise—that twenty church organizations have been more or less maintained by his generous contributions, churches of both Protestant and Catholic faiths. Although himself a Protestant, he was lauded by a prominent Catholic priest when, on February 22, 1924, Mr. Chapman's name was projected into national politics by that which may prove to have been the historic meeting in Fullerton. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE This office is trying to do every reasonable thing possible to prevent the introduction of the dreaded foot and mouth disease into the herds of this county. America, Great Britain, Norway and Sweden have endeavored to stamp out every outbreak, feeling that the immediate loss by eradication would amount to very little when compared to a permanent infection established among the herds of the nations. While in European countries, the Orient, and in South America the disease has been allowed to become established and to run its course among their animals. In the less malignant form the mortality is very small; but some of the severe cases would run as high as 30 to 40 per cent. It is claimed that this disease destroys ten times as many animals as all other livestock diseases combined. America has had six outbreaks, and has been successful in stamping all of them out. The most severe of these was the 1914 outbreak. It was discovered on October 19, 1914 and spread to twenty-two states and the district of Columbia. The final eradication was accomplished in May 1916. In the campaign 172,000 animals were slaughtered. It cost in round figures 9,000,000 dollars and it is claimed to have caused a loss to agriculture in the infected states between 60 and 100 million dollars. No effort will be made at this time to explain the symptoms or diagnose the disease, because we fell that here it is a matter of keeping it out and we are only seeking the cooperation of the people of this county to avoid the introduction, and would rather give thought to means of preventing the spread of the disease rather than to the effect of the disease upon animals and its eradication. We need your cooperation and it is up to you as well as those who are trying to handle the work; so we are earnestly seeking your assistance and cooperation. Sincerely yours, A. A. BROCK, Horticultural Commissioner, Orange County. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE This office is trying to do every reasonable thing possible to prevent the introduction of the dreaded foot and mouth disease into the herds of this county. We have met with spendid cooperation, generally speaking, however, there are certain things that have been done that I am sure was brought about due to lack of understanding of the situation. The foot and mouth disease authorities are bending every effort to prevent the disease from spreading, by quarantining the infected areas and stamping but the infection as fast as their forces will permit. However, an ounce of prevention is surely worth a million pounds of cure in this case, therefore, our county is spending considerable in trying to prevent the introduction of the disease and to be successful in the efforts being made here we must have the earnest cooperation of every citizen. There are several factions interested in this undertaking, some feel that we are entirely too lenient; others feel that our quarantine regulations are entirely too severe. We are trying however, to keep out everything that might be a possible carrier of the disease. It seems that human beings are largely responsible for the spread. Therefore, we are endeavoring to discourage travel as much as possible, I feel that every citizen should be willing to stay at home sixty or ninety days if he knew that at the end of that time the disease would be completely stamped out. While it is true that it effects largely agriculturalists and Sincerely yours, A. A. BROCK, Hortcultural Commissioner, Orange County. THE PRIVATE SPY SYSTEM In the Editor and Publisher of April 12 appears an authorized interview with Frank Vanderlip, defamer of the late President Harding, in which he asserts that he is now the detective department of the United States Senate, that he has 40 detectives employed, that his expenditures run into seven figures and that he has furnished the Wheeler committee nearly all its witnesses. "At present," the Editor and Publisher says, "Vanderlip admitted the (his) bureau is acting as a sort of private detective agency for the congressional committees." Mr. Vanderlip says: "I don't know how much it will cost to carry on these investigations continually. Now we are spending money like drunken sailors." "He named a figure in seven numbers," continues the Editor and Publisher, "but asked confidence. "I know for certain we will not stop for lack of funds. I am solvent," he added significantly. * * * 'Senator Wheeler and I are personal friends. His work has been perfectly fine * * * I became and now am the servant of the committee. * * * I engaged William J. Flynn, Burns predecessor, with a staff of skilled operatives, to carry on inquiries." ANAHEIM GAZETTE This is an interesting and a significant situation. The Walsh and Wheeler committees have 40 detectives, under Vanderlip's direction busily engaged in trying to "get something on" some Republican. They have been working for weeks and the evidence they have been able to develop is before the country. There has not been a single shred of direct evidence by a reputable witness involving Mr. Daugherty's integrity and only indirect evidence by disreputable witnesses which more than reflects upon two or three of Mr. Daugherty's friends. Remarkable proof of the lack of substantial basis for the charges of malfeasance and corruption made against the former Attorney General. The Walsh committee has involved only one ex-official in direct charges of wrong doing, and this could have been better done before a federal grand jury by anyone knowing as much as this committee did when it started its work. Remarkable, too, that Senate committees maintain private systems of esplonage developing witnesses summoned at public expense to relate such yarns as have been spun at the capitol by train robbers, bootleggers, murderers and corruptionists. The possibilities of this system of securing a rich man to maintain an army of spies whose "witnesses" air their suppositions at public expense before a Senate committee are unlimited. Senator Wheeler, who has a private spy system maintained by a man who came into national note by charging publicly that the sale of Harding's paper was a corrupt deal in connection with crookedness at Washington, complains that his indictment in a Montana federal court on the charge of accepting employment to put over oil land claims in the Interior department is a "frame-up." He says that saults by srikers on employees or those seeking employment. Approximately 65 cases of kidnapping, with accompanying brutal assault. Eight cases of tarring and feathering of new employees by strikers. Approximately 50 cases of burning and dynamiting or attempts to burn and dynamite railroad bridges. Approximately 250 cases of burning or dynamiting or attemptts to burn or dynamite property of the railroads or homes and property of employees. About 50 cases of derailments or attempts to derail or wreck trains. In addition the Attorney General said there were acts of strikers of lesser importance too numerous to enumerate. He mentioned the cutting of air hose, throwing of stones, firing of shots, placing of foreign substances in pipes and cylinders of locomotives tampering with electric equipment. The total cost of the strike to 50 railroads from which witnesses were examined was placed by the Attorney General at $95,501,000, without taking into account damage to property or loss of business. The government's added expense resulting from this amounted to almost $2,000,000, the report said. The effect on the postal service, summarized for the Department of Justice by Postmaster General New, showed that 705 mail trains were discontinued and 462 postoffices were totally without mail service. "The general effect of the strike on business and industry of the country," the report continued, "as evidenced by testimony of 53 representatives of leading business concerns, was a general disturbance, slowing down of production, reduction of output losses due to delays on the part of business houses in receiving and obtaining raw materials and in shipping position that no one has the right to be extravagant with money that is contributed by the people to the public treasury; he feels that it is his duty to provide the country with an economical administration and the politicians will find that it is useless to try and change his attitude in these matters." Almost anybody can put up a fight, but history shows that the successful ones are those who kept on fighting after their enemies thought the fight was over. Anyway a flapper does not try to make her waist look like an hourglass as her grandmother did. The world is filled with persons who saw their opportunity, grasped it and found it wasn't there. of spies whose witnesses all their suppositions at public expense before a Senate committee are unlimited. Senator Wheeler, who has a private spy system maintained by a man who came into national note by charging publicly that the sale of Harding's paper was a corrupt deal in connection with crookedness at Washington, complains that his indictment in a Montana federal court on the charge of accepting employment to put over oil laid claims in the Interior department is a "frame-up." He says that the Republican national committee has been "trailing" him. A "frame-up" is an effort to convict a man on unsubstantial charges in a prejudiced court by disreputable witnesses. Senator Wheeler has been running a "frame-up" factory of that kind at government expense for weeks. The failure to produce evidence that would stand for a moment in any court of justice proves that his effort has been a "frame-up." On the other hand, Senator Wheeler has been indicted in the regular legal way, on documentary and oral testimony strong enough to convince a federal grand jury of the presumption of his guilt. If anyone had predicted a dozen years ago that there could be had under the auspices of the United States Senate, with the solid support of the Democratic membership, with perhaps one exception, and that of the radical bloc, such proceedings as have been conducted by Senate committees the prophecy would have been regarded as a wild one. If the senators guilty of active participation and complicity in this performance do not think the record they have made will have an adverse influence on their future political careers, they sadly underestimate the intelligence and patriotism of the American people. COST OF SHOPMEN'S 1922 STRIKE The railroad shopmen's strike of July 1, 1922, cost the lives of 19 persons by violence and assault by strikers. Attorney General Daugherty reported in response to a resolution of Congress asking for Department of Justice records in connection with the strike. The records, he said, established also that damage was done to persons and property as follows: Approximately 1,500 instances of as- The general effect of the strike on business and industry of the country," the report continued, "as evidenced by testimony of 53 representatives of leading business concerns, was a general disturbance, slowing down production, reduction of output losses due to delays on the part of business houses in receiving and obtaining raw materials and in shipping and transporting finished products." The report carries copies of communications exchanged between the Department of Justice and federal agents and agencies concerned with the strike as well as those between the government and union officials, many of which have been made public heretofore. THREE QUESTIONS The three principal items of interest now being discussed in Washington are: Who will be President Coolidge's running mate on the Republican ticket. Who will fill the important offices such as temporary and permanent chairman at the Cleveland convention, and, last but not least, what planks the Republican party's platform will contain. Trained political observers are of the opinion that the President's wishes in regard to the wording of the platform will be carried out. It is known that he is firm today, as he always has been, for the reduction of taxes; for the strictest economy in government affairs; for the passage of such legislation as will benefit the different classes of industry throughout the nation. There is no doubt that the platform will contain a lengthy list of achievements of measures passed for the benefit of the country. This list now being compiled by party leaders, is far larger than the average citizen realizes. This is due to the fact that the average citizen don't sit down with paper and pencil and total up the number of measures that have been passed during an administration. The President has formally and informally impressed upon the House and Senate the necessity of the strictest economy in the expenditure of the people's money.
