LAYING PLANS FOR VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN Coolidge and Dawes Club Holds Enthusiastic Meeting Tuesday Night The Coolidge and Dawes club held another enthusiastic meeting Tuesday evening with President J. S. Howard and Secretary Frank Tausch in their respective chairs. Discussion of the political situation and plans for the campaign occupied most of the time. It is proposed to make a vigorous fight between this and election day for the entire Republican ticket. The following resolution was adopted: WHEREAS, the 11th Congressional District of California is one of the largest and richest in the nation, and no other District is more benefited by the operation in Government of the policies advocated by the Republican Party, and Whereas, the size and importance of the District calls for a man of outstanding ability as its representative in Congress, and one who has proven that he is thoroughly in sympathy with regular Republican principles, and would be of value in support of a Republican President and be able to command his confidence, and Whereas, State Senator E. P. Sample has been long and favorably known for his good work in behalf of the Republican Party, and in his place in the State Senate has been a prominent leader in supporting the economy program of Governor Richardson, as well as having strongly supported President Coolidge through the Presidential primary, and Whereas, Senator Sample is a man of unusual ability, and one who would command respectful attention in Congress, and fully measures up to the high standard demanded by the importance of our District. Now, therefore, Be It Resolved, That the Coolidge and Dawes Club of Anaheim hereby endorses E. P. Sample for the position of Member of Congress for the 11th District of California, and pledges itself to use every honorable effort to affect his candidacy. PROBATION GIVEN MAN AS FRIENDS ASSIST Glenn B. Churchill, former trustee, of the defunct Keen Hat Stores company, is at liberty on probation, granted by Judge R. Y. Williams of the Superior Court, who gave recognition to one of the strongest appeals ever made on behalf of a defendant in the local courts. Lenience had been recommended for Churchill by the jury that recently found him and O. C. Hardbeck guilty of obtaining money under false pretenses from Anaheim investors in the hat stores. When the hearing on his application for probation was held Judge Williams had before him recommendations that poured in from many sections of the country. Friends from Los Angeles, Oakland and other places attended the hearing to testify on Churchill's behalf. Several prominent Orange citizens also took the stand for him. Several positions were open to Churchill upon his release, the court was advised, one large Chicago coalfactory offering a salary of $250 per month. Judge Williams, in granting probation, lifted the customary rule of requiring the defendant to remain in Southern California and gave Churchill permission to accept the Chicago position. The probation order covers a five-year period. One of the conditions imposed by the court was that Churchill refrain henceforth from selling stock of any kind. The charge against him was connected with the sale or stock in the hat store company. Attorney J. Morgan Marmaduke, Los Angeles, represented Churchill at the hearing. CALIFORNIA GREAT STATE FOR BABIES COUNTY'S TAX BILL HEAVY PER CAPITA Orange county pays one of the heaviest per capita tax bills in California, it was shown in a report issued by the state, covering the tax levies raised by the various counties for 1923. Among the nine counties of the state that range in population from 50,000 to 100,000, Orange county paid the largest per capita tax, with one exception, according to the state's report. This county, with a population of 61,375 under the 1920 census, paid a per capita tax of $77 using the 1920 census as a basis of estimation. Local officials pointed out that the growth in population from 1920 to 1923 would materially reduce the per capita tax. This might not, however, greatly affect the ranking of the county among the other eight counties within the range of population stated. Kern county, with a per capita tax of $82 was the only one of the nine counties with a higher levy than Orange. Santa Ana, however, held a more economical ranking among seven cities of approximately the same population, according to the state report, only two of the seven municipalities collecting a smaller tax bill of $204,371 last year. The taxes of the seven cities listed were: Santa Barbara, $465,617; Richmond, $424,087; Bakersfield, $344,047; Riverside $220,720; Santa Ana $204,371; Vallejo $147,070; San Bernardino, $128,988. NINE ACCEPTED AS AMERICAN CITIZENS Nine former allens today were citizens of the United States, following examinations of a class in naturalization proceedings. The nine were granted citizenship year period. One of the conditions imposed by the court was that Churchill refrain henceforth from selling stock of any kind. The charge against him was connected with the sale or stock in the hat store company. Attorney J. Morgan Marmaduke, Los Angeles, represented Churchill at the hearing. CALIFORNIA GREAT STATE FOR BABIES Among the 10 largest cities in the United States, Los Angeles ranks third so far as the healthfulness of its babies is concerned, it has been revealed in an official report made by the American Child Health Association of 370 Seventh Avenue, New York City. The entire state of California has a very low infant mortality rate, the statement disclosed. Santa Cruz takes front rank among all the cities in the birth registration area covered by the association. For 1923 only 26 out of every 1000 babies born in that city died during their first year. Pasadena took first rank in cities of from 50,000 to 100,000 with a rate of 37. Los Angeles rate was 72. California, with a rate of 66 for the entire state, was fourth among 30 states included in the registration area. Winchester, Mass., is the only one other city in the birth registration area with a record equal to Santa Cruz. This city also has an infant mortality rate of 26 as compared with the average rate of 78 for all the cities within the area. The state holding better records than California are Washington, 51; Oregon 53; Minnesota 62. As in 1923 the Pacific Coast states again lead all sections of the country. The sectional rate for Washington, Oregon and California is 57, the lowest rate for any section within the birth registration area. The infant mortality Record issued by the American child Health association, of which Herbert Hoover is president, has become an annual report, designed to interest the American public in a reduction of mortality rates all over the country. The figures for the report have been secured from mthe United States bureau of the census and from state and local authorities. In addition to data from the birth registration area, the total cities covered amounts to 665. NINE ACCEPTED AS AMERICAN CITIZENS Nine former allens today were citizens of the United States, following examinations of a class in naturalization proceedings. The nine were granted citizenship late Thursday by Judge Z. B. West in the superior court, being admitted from a class of twenty-one applicants. Eight others found their cases continued to the next naturalization day six months hence, when they will have another chance to win the coveted goal. Some of these require further study regarding the laws of the country, while several cases were continued because the applicants were absent. One was asked to furnish exemption from war service on the ground that he was an alien. Two applicants were rejected on such grounds. One failed because a certificate showing the date of her arrival in this country was lacking. Another was rejected because he failed to produce two witnesses who had seen him at least once a month over an unbroken perior of five years preceding his application. The nine who were made new citizens are Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Kobernik, Fullerton; Mr. and Mrs. Sclipone Ballce, Santa Ana; Louise Schmid, Santa Ana, Isador Resnik, Santa Ana, and John W McKim, Santa Ana. Kurt Epstein, Anaheim, was given time to prove that he had not asked military exemption, F. J. Engel, Anaheim, and Bronislav Juskievicz, Los Alamitos were rejected on such grounds. The infant mortality record issued by the American child Health association, of which Herbert Hoover is president, has become an annual report, designed to interest the American public in a reduction of mortality rates all over the country. The figures for the report have been secured from the United States bureau of the census and from state and local authorities. In addition to data from the birth registration area, the total cities covered amounts to 665. SLANDEROUS ATTACK It is quite apparent to everyone who has followed the fight against Governor Richardson that the attack on the governor appearing in the San Francisco Examiner is the opening gun in the campaign of the Johnson forces to elect a Legislature unfavorable to the Administration. Only yesterday a United Press dispatch from Los Angeles announced that Hiram Johnson will shortly "launch a determined fight within his home state." The dispatch goes on to state "His first struggle will be in the nomination of Republican candidates for the legislature." This, it is agreed will be the opening skirmish of the real battle which will come when the state must choose its next governor. That Johnson aspires again to the governorship is not denied by his backers." Some months ago similar announcement came from Washington, D.C., in a dispatch from George A. McClatchy setting forth that Senator Johnson would go first to San Francisco "to map out his line of attack. Then he will surge forth in a slashing verbal assault against the administration of Governor Friend W. Richardson. With the assault against Richardson will go the appeal to elect a legislature over which Richardson will have no control." Apparently Hearst could not await the return of Johnson before opening the attack on Governor Richardson or, seeing in the forest fires an opportunity to strike at the governor early in the primary campaign, proceeded without the presence of the senator. The Examiner's effort to place Governor Richardson in the attitude of discouraging the government's effort to relieve the forest fire situation in California, is typical of Hearst's manner of attacking political opponents. The attack is so palpably unfair that no reasoning or reasonable person will take it seriously. According to news disapthes in the San Francisco Chronicle, Federal troops and airplanes have been ordered in readiness to fight forest fires in California immediately their services are needed. The Examiner's attack on the governor is based on the latter's telegram to President Coolidge in which he made the statement that "California is menaced more by the blazing of yellow journalism than by fire." At this thrust was no doubt directed against the Hearst publications and news service. Hearts lost no time in turning it to political service by attempting to show that Governor Richardson had spurned government aid in combatting forest fires in the State. The Examiner depicts Governor Richardson in a cartoon in the role of Nene Fiddling while flames are sweeping the "forests" about the state capital. Had not the Examiner been assailing Friend W. Richardson from the moment his candidacy for governor was announced, this slanderous attack on the governor might carry weight. By this time, however, the people are fully aware of the feeling of Orange, State of California, within ten days after the service on you of this Summons, if served within this County, or within thirty days if served elsewhere. And you are hereby notified that unless you appear and answer as above required, the said plaintiff will take judgment for any money or damages demanded in the complaint, as arising upon contract, or plaintiff will apply to the Court for any other relief demanded in the complaint. Given under my hand and the seal of the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, this 23rd day of January, 1924. (Seal) J. M. BACKS, Clerk. By A. L. Hitchcock, Deputy Clerk. 6-26 to 8-28. Calvin Coolidge has more followers today than any other man in the United States of America. He is our greatest leader. A pessimist is one who thinks a little touch of grafting makes the whole world "skin." tween meals! Children love to eat these nourishing, crisp soda wafers! in combatting forest fires in the State. The Examiner depicts Governor Richardson in a cartoon in the role of Nere fiddling while flames are sweeping the "forests" about the state capital. Had not the Examiner been assailing Friend W. Richardson from the moment his candidacy for governor was announced, this slanderous attack on the governor might carry weight. By this time, however, the people are fully aware of the feeling held toward the governor by Hearst; a feeling prompted by the latter's zeal in behalf of Hiram Johnson, and they are taking the attack seriously or not, according to their political affiliation. Those interested in the return to economy and efficiency in government initiated by Governor Richardson, place no stock in the trade of the Examiner, while friends and supporters of the repudiated Johnson political machine will raise their voices, along with that of Hearst, in loud lamentation against every act or statement of the governor that can be twisted into a reflection against his honesty, his patriotism or his love of his state.
