VOLUME LV ALL SIGNS POINT TO COOLIDGE'S ELECTION NEW YORK GAMBLERS OFFER ODDS OF SIX TO ONE WITH NO TAKERS Mud Slinging Campaign Nearing An End With the Mud Slingers Losing Ground. Both LaFollette and Davis Weaker Than They Were At the Beginning—Charges of Huge Slush Fund Proved to Be Only Another Campaign Lie—Big Majorities Are Expected for Coolidge. Next Tuesday the forty million voters of the United States will determine who will serve as president during the next four years. A few weeks ago, when the La Follette machine got under full steam it was generally believed that no candidate would receive a majority vote of the electoral college, but at this stage of the campaign his belief in the essential honesty and integrity of the Government. His is the counsel of hope. He believes in the people of the country; he believes in their Americanism; he believes in their devotion to the ideals of those things that are best in life. The President's speech, delivered before the National Chamber of Commerce in Washington, will, no doubt be the last speech that will be broadcast throughout the nation. In his address he placed before the people of the country his plans for the future of the nation. He described in direct, honest language his desire that the peoples of the world might live in peace and harmony; that they might turn from the pursuit of war to a course that would bring the greatest good to the universe. In the matter of economy, President Coolidge emphasized the necessity for economy in the expenditure of the people's money and pledged himself to continue the path he had entered upon when he became President—namely that of saving the money of the taxpayer. President Coolidge has been the only President in the history of the nation that forced a portion of the taxes to be given back to the taxpayer, and he stated in terms which could not be misunderstood that a further reduction of taxes may be had if the Next Tuesday the forty million voters of the United States will determine who will serve as president during the next four years. A few weeks ago, when the La Follette machine got under full steam it was generally believed that no candidate would receive a majority vote of the electoral college, but at this stage of the campaign it is apparent that Coolidge will sweep through the northern half of the country from Maine to California and will win by a decisive majority. Davis will carry the eleven Southern States where nobody but Democrats are allowed to vote, and La Follette will probably carry three or four of the Northwestern states where the foreign born population predominates and where all sorts of political gymnastics are indulged in. It is charged that money from Red Russia has been dumped into this country to assist in the Wisconsin Man's campaign, but all the money in the world would not avail to elect a man to the presidency who believes what La Follette talks. The American people are too level headed. Everybody knows that the New York gamblers who stake their money on presidential elections, are well posted and seldom are at fault. Latest dispatches state that they are offering odds of six to one on Coolidge and finding no takers. This is the most one sided wager ever offered on a presidential election. This has been a dirty campaign. It began two years ago when Wheeler, the flannel mouthed lawyer from Montana, running mate of La Follette began his investigation of high officials in the United States Senate. His witnesses were mostly thieves, blackmailers and prostitutes. He proved nothing but of course, he accomplished what he expected, created a doubt in the minds of many people. Senator La Follette has been charging on the stump that the Republicans have raised a slush fund of twenty million dollars to carry the election for Coolidge. Every four years this bugaboo is dragged forward and exposed to the people and they are getting pretty familiar with it now. They know it is only a noise. However, the senate committee on elections promptly investigated the Wisconsin candidate's charges and discovered that the Republican Central Committee had collected $1,825,000 so far for campaign economy in the expenditure of the people's money and pledged himself to continue the path he had entered upon when he became President—namely that of saving the money of the taxpayer. President Coolidge has been the only President in the history of the nation that forced a portion of the taxes to be given back to the taxpayer, and he stated in terms which could not be misunderstood that a further reduction of taxes may be had if the present plan of economy in public expenditure and the rate of income continuous, welcome news, indeed to the millions who have until a short time ago been forced to pay most exorbitant taxes. The President dwelt at length upon the benefits of protection, showing how it was the direct cause of maintaining a far higher rate of wages in this country than in Europe. He pointed out that under our system of protection, every man, woman and child in this country today is blessed with a far higher standard of living than the peoples of the other nations of the world. He showed that the consumption of meat, sugar and in fact all high class food stuffs, was far greater in this country than in any other nation in the universe, our people live better than those of any other country. He pointed out that with the system of protection now in operation, wages were kept at the high point. This meant that the factory, the mill, the foundry, in fact all other lines of manufacturing endeavor were enabled to pay their employees a sum sufficient to enable them to buy the best that the market affords. This in turn, means that the cattleman, the sheepman, the farmer and others who provide foodstuffs receive much higher returns for their products than they would have if protection did not obtain in the United States. The President pointed out that while he believed in taxing big corporations and people of large wealth, he did not believe that they should be taxed to a point where they will remove either their business or their capital to other countries where taxes are lower. He believed that a point could be reached where each and every industry in the United States, as well as the individual, could be made to pay a proportionate and honest tax. The President desire is that no one, be he poor or rich, shall be taxed unjustly, but that all shall bear their honest and proportionate burden of the taxes.

This return of a scenes of his you Rabe Ruth, Bob M Ernie Johnson, Jimmy Austin and stump that the Republicans have raised a slush fund of twenty million dollars to carry the election for Coolidge. Every four years this bugaboo is dragged forward and exposed to the people and they are getting pretty familiar with it now. They know it is only a noise. However, the senate committee on elections promptly investigated the Wisconsin candidate's charges and discovered that the Republican Central Committee had collected $1,825,000 so far for campaign purposes, but hoped to increase that to three millions. That is the average sum spent in former campaigns. La Follette knew he was lying when he made the charge, but he also knew that thousands who heard him or read his statement will believe it. In the campaign now drawing to a close the outstanding feature has been the attitude of the different candidates toward our own government and the people to whom they are appealing for support. The President has remained at his desk, counting it his first duty to perform the functions of his office. In this he has shown his confidence in the people to judge the issues correctly as they have been presented from time to time. The candidates of the Democratic and the third parties have made theirs a campaign of abuse, not of the Republican party, but of the Government of the United States and its citizens. Throughout these last months, there has come from neither candidate any word of pride in our Government or in its people. They have found no word of praise and the prevailing note has been censure of those who make that Government. Their message has been an insult to every man who loves his country, who glories in its achievements, and who is proud of its institutions. President Coolidge has never wavered in his trust of the people and that they should be taxed to a point where they will remove either their business or their capital to other countries where taxes are lower. He believed that a point could be reached where each and every industry in the United States, as well as the individual, could be made to pay a proportionate and honest tax. The President desire is that no one, be he poor or rich, shall be taxed unjustly, but that all shall bear their honest and proportionate burden of the taxes. It is his desire that whenever possible, laws be enacted that will be of benefit to each and every state and section of the United States. There is no denying the fact that Calvin Coolidge, during the time that he has been in office has given much study to the furthering of the welfare of the people of the United States. His speech showed that he is deeply concerned with all problems, the solving of which will mean even a better condition than we enjoy today. The speech of Calvin Coolidge was not an oratorical effort; it was not what one would expect to hear from a gifted orator, but it was the honest straight forward statement of a man who has demonstrated to the people of the nation that he is honestly concerned with the welfare of every man woman and child in the United States. His address was one that rang true; it came from the heart; it was the statement of a conscientious, clean thinking, honest statesman, who believes in the people of the nation. It came from a man who believes that our people want to maintain our high ideals, honesty of purpose and the other attributes that have made us today what we are, a United States; a country whose standards are of the highest. A country where right and justice and common sense will prevail.

AGED COUPLE CELEBRATE SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Carver Honored by Children and Grand Children Sixty years ago last Sunday, two of the popular young people of Reedsburg, Wisconsin, W. I.

Nearly all the houses are displaying placards in their windows reading, "This store closed Friday afternoon on account of the Johnson-Ruth baseball game." All the merchants in the city are baseball fans and with hardly an exception they have determined to witness the greatest game ever played in Southern California. Walter Johnson and Barbe Ruth, the two greatest figures in baseball, will be the leaders of the opposing teams. Johnson will captain the Anaheim Elks team, three times champion amateurs of the state, while Ruth will head a picked nine of league players. Johnson will pitch for the Elks and Ruth will occupy the mound for the all stars. It is not generally remembered that Ruth was a pitcher in the early days of his baseball career, but he began as a pitcher, then drifting into the field in order to conserve his arm for batting purposes. The game will be played at the Brea bowl on the only ground in northern Orange county capable of holding the anticipated crowd. When Walter Johnson pitches this game he will practically be back to where he started his career, for it was on a sand lot that Walter first found out he could do things with a ball. Many Orange county men recall Johnson's early day at the game and they will be interested spectators when he plays here again. Among the most interested of the spectators will be United States District Attorney Joseph C. Burke of Los Angeles. For it was Burke who first recognized Johnson's possibilities and influenced him to leave Orange county for the bigger opportunity with the larger clubs. Burke was at that time a struggling law student and the rise to fame of these two local men in their chosen lines is a matter of great pride among their former associates. Many intimate friends of Johnson claim that he was asked to place the credit for his phenomenal success at baseball he would without hesitation say that the advice, encouragement and aid from Joseph C. Burke had more to do with his brilliant career than any other one factor. This return of a favorite son to the scenes of his youth, together with Rabe Ruth, Bob Muesel, Ken Williams Ernie Johnson, Harvey McClellan, Jimmy Austin and other major league stints is expected to make baseball his hometown. AGED COUPLE CELEBRATE SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. W. I. Carver Honored by Children and Grand Children Sixty years ago last Sunday, two of the popular young people of Reedsburg, Wisconsin, W. I. Carver and Miss Emily Medberry, were married. Few couples are privileged to live to years, but this privilege was granted Mr. and Mrs. Carver, and the anniversary celebration was held Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Quarton, son-in-law and daughter at their home on North Clementine street. Additional pleasure was lent to the occasion through the presence of Mrs. Carver's brother, J. Mederry and wife of Long Beach, whose sixtieth anniversary was celebrated last week in their home. Twenty six relatives of the honored pair gathered about the dinner table loaded with all the good things of the season. A special cake, cut by the venerable bride, was a portion of the desert. After dinner, surrounded by their loving descendants, a radio program was enjoyed and the remainder of the time was passed in recounting days of auid lang syne. Mr. and Mrs. Carver have six fine sons and daughters, all of whom were present but one son, Walter Carver, superintendent of schools in Gaylord, Minn., who could not leave his dutles to come west at this time. Present were Mrs. W. P. Quarton, daughter and Mrs. Quarton, Mrs.-L. C Blake, and Mr. Blake; Mrs Alice Booth and Mrs. Nellie Perry, daughters; M. Carver, a son; Mrs. W. J. Jewel, granddaughter and Mr. Jewel; Mrs. Wayne Amack; Mr. Irving Quarton, grandson and Mrs. Quarton; Raymond Perry of Cal-Tech., and Bene Booth, grand-sons and Mary and Richard Jewel great grand children; Mr. and Mrs. Wade Quarton, Fullerton and the Messrs. M. Carr, V. Bedberry and W. Johnson of Aberdeen, S. D. and the Long Bearh couple, Mr. and Mrs Medberry, who shared honors of the day with Mr and Mrs Carver. As newlyweds the Carvers set up their home in Reedsburg, then went to LaCroase, Wis., and came to California 26 years ago. They are now 86 and 83 years old and enjoy excellent health. Mr. Medberry, the brother is 87 and his wife three years his junior. Elaborate preparations are being made for the Hallowe'en celebration Friday night, staged by the Merchants Association. The business section has been decorated with symbols of all Saint's Eve. Black cats, witches and October colors and pprpuppsally played and strings of pastboard pumpkins have been stretched across the streets, each containing an illuminating bulb. All the lamp posts in the section where the dance is to be held are shrouded in a sheaf of corn stalks reminding the middle westerner of the season 'When the frost is on the pumpkin and the fodder's in the shock." The parade down Center street from East to Los Angeles, will be a unique affair, and it is doubtful if anybody knows the component parts of the pageant. Marcus Andrade, on his big black-charger will lead the procession and there will be two or three bands scattered through the line, out everybody else is expected to be masked. A long list of floats, representing lodges, societies and business houses will be in the procession and their decorations will carry out the spirit of the day. It is now believed by the managers although not positively announced, that Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth, the world's two greatest baseball players will head the procession, or follow in an auto behind Field Marshall Andrade. Johnson, heading the Anaheim Elks team and Ruth in command of an all-star league team, are playing a game of ball at Bena, bowl, one of our suburbs, for the championship of the world Friday afternoon, and it is expected they will join in the festivities in the evening. When the siren blows at seven o'clock Friday evening the procession will start at East street. The business houses on the roped in block on Center street between Los Angeles and Lemon streets, will lower their screens and illuminate their windows displaying their decorations and the dance on the roped in pavement will be on. The carnival will be in fun blast, and everybody is expected to turn himself loose and have a good time. HARBOR AREA HAS BIG GAIN IN POPULATION More than trebling its population Many intimate friends of the claim that he was asked to place the credit for his phenomenal success at baseball he would without hesitation say that the advice, encouragement and aid from Joseph C. Burke had more to do with his brilliant career than any other factor. This return of a favorite son to the scenes of his youth, together with Babe Ruth, Bob Muesel, Ken Williams Ernie Johnson, Harvey McClellan, Jimmy Austin and other major league stars is expected to make baseball history for Orange county, and plans are being made to handle an enormous crowd. The Anaheim Elks lodge No. claim that if asked to place the 1345 are managing the game and the net proceeds are to be devoted entirely to charity. Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth are the greatest men in the baseball world today. To see these two men in action in our own doyard is a favor vouched to the fans of this community. Ten thousand people are expected to pass through the gates. GEISSINGER RE-ELECTED Dr. J. A. Geissinger was for the second time elected president of the Clerical Club of Orange County Monday. R. C. Smedley, secretary of the Santa Ana Y. M. C. A., was named secretary treasurer and Rev. Hunter of the Fullerton Presbyterian church was elected to the vice-presidency. The club is composed of 57 ministers of Orange county and was organized four years ago by Dr. Geissinger. It was decided at the session yesterday that the monthly meetings hereafter will start at 11:30 with an address to be followed by lunch at 12:15 a.m. and adjournment will be Mrs. M. Carr, V. Bedberry and W. Johnson of Aberdeen, S. D. and the Long Bear couple, Mr. and Mrs Medberry, who shared honors of the day with Mr and Mrs Carver. As newlyweds the Carvers set up their home in Reedsburg, then went to LaCrosse, Wis, and came to California 26 years ago. They are now 86 and 83 years old and enjoy excellent health. Mr. Medberry, the brother is 87 and his wife three years his junior. Among the gifts was a purse of gold coins contributed by the relatives and included one each from a niece and nephew of Santa Monica who could not be present. REVIVAL OF THE MIKADO More than 30,000 persons from throughout California are expected to witness a revival of "The Mikado", the famous opera of Gilbert and Sullivan, to be staged by Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine in the San Francisco Civic Auditorium November 18 to 22. According to Potentate William H. Worden, who is in general charge of the coming production, the effort will surpass an magnitude and splendor all previous theatrical attempts of the local Shrine temple. Worden stated that although the opera has been produced hundreds of times and has been seen by millions, it has never been given on the lavish scale contemplated by the local Shrine. There will be an all star cast and a chorus of more than 200 beautiful girls and Shriners. Rehearsals are now in progress under the direction of Lred Carlyle, Eugene Blanchard, J. L. Stuart, Charles Hazmueller and W. H. Mourlthrop of the San Francisco temple. HARBOR AREA HAS BIG GAIN IN POPULATION More than trebling its population in four years, figures compiled from registration statistics furnished by Joe Backs, county clerk, show the harbor district stands forth as making the greatest gain of any similar area in Orange county. Total registration of the three Newport Beach precincts give 996; total registration for the two Costa Mesa precincts gave 825. Based on the government average of 2 5-8 per cent time each voter registered, gives the harbor district a total population of 4767. Or divided into the respective sections Newport Beach has a population of 2602 while Costa Mesa has 2165. It can safely be said that the population of the harbor district exceeds 5,000 because there are many people who failed to register. The 1920 census for Newport Beach was 894. There are no census figures for the Mesa, which was known as Harper in 1920 with a few stores and a scattered-population of a few hundred. It is somewhat difficult to get definite figures for the Mesa because it is not incorporated and the registration data is as accurate as can be procured. Registration figures show a decided increase over four years ago and gave some idea of the rapid growth of this section. It has been stated that the increase in people and assessed valu- INCREATED STREET VAL LACK CATS PROCUTED The fifth district comprising the towns of Tustin, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, San Juan Capistrano and a portion of Santa Ana give a total registration of 4933. Practically one third of this total is in the harbor precincts, although it comprises one fifth of the area. These figures are very gratifying to port boosters. OBSERVES ANNIVERSARY OF FAMOUS BATTLE Captain Alexander Henry Recalls the Scrap at Balaklava In a quiet way, and all by himself, Captain Alexander Henry on Saturday celebrated the 70th anniversary of the battle of Balaklava, made famous in history by the charge of the Light Brigade. Seventy years is the span of life allotted to man, by the bible and there are very few men now living who participated in that battle, but Captain Henry was there, and the struggle is still vivid in his memory. Furthermore he carries a scar made by a Russian bullet in the fight. THE U.S.A. CLUB MAY START A RECALL PULSE OF THE PEOPLE TO BE FELT BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN House to House Canvass Will Be Made to Ascertain Sentiment of the Citizens on the Question of Ku Klux Domination — Believed That Overwhelming Majority Favor Redemption of the City From the Clutches of the Invisible Empire — Membership Rolls of the U./S. A. Club Are Open for Inspection. There has been much talk lately of a movement to recall Mayor Metcalf and the three trustees elected with him last April, and a step is now being taken to get the sentiment of the people on the question. The U. S.

Seventy years is the span of life allotted to man, by the bible and there are very few men now living who participated in that battle, but Captain Henry was there, and the struggle is still vivid in his memory. Furthermore he carries a scar made by a Russian bullet in the fight. Captain Henry, only a boy in his teens, was a marine in the Baltic fleet, under command of Sir Charles Napier. When the Crimean war broke out the fleet was ordered to the Black Sea to assist the land forces in the storming of Sevastopol. The marines were landed and fought side by side with the army in four battles of the campaign, Alma, Inkermann, Balaklava, and Sevastopol. Captain Henry was engaged in all of them, and it was his fortune, or misfortune to get shot in every one of them. In fact he was wounded six times in the four battles, and finally found himself in the hospital at Ssutari being ministered to by Florence Nightingale, founder of the Red Cross Service. Being a marine, Captain Henry, of course, was not a member of the Light Brigade, but he saw the "Noble Six Hundred" start on their disastrous charge in an attempt to silence a Russian battery. He was in the line when the bleeding remnant came back and caught the horse of Colonel Nolan when the animal charged through the line unguided and unrestrained. When the horse was stopped the colonel fell to the ground dead. He was shot through the heart, and the horse had carried a dead man back from "the mouth of hell." Captain Henry is the proud possessor of a medal presented him by Queen Victoria as a mark of distinction for his services in the Crimean war, in which the English and French disciplined the Czar of all the Russia and made him promise to be good. There are four bars on the medal, each bearing the name of a battle in which he participated—Alma, Inkermann, Balaklava and Sevastopol. Not a single member of the Light Brigade is now living, as less than three hundred survived the disastrous charge and very few men who participated in the Crimean war are alive today. Captain Henry was one of the youngest men engaged in it and he has lived far beyond the alloted age of man. He is still hale and hearty in There has been much talk lately of a movement to recall Mayor Metcalf and the three trustees elected with him last April, and a step is now being taken to get the sentiment of the people on the question. The U.S.A. club, recently organized, is preparing to make a house to house canvass and ascertain the opinion of the members of each household on the question, and if it is found that a majority of the people desire to redeem the city from the clutchers of the Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan immediate steps will be taken to call an election. The U.S.A. club is a broad minded strictly American organization, upholding the Constitution of the United States which grants to all citizens equal rights. It was organized for the purpose of combatting the invisible empire which is seeking to revive and reanimate prejudices that were buried hundreds of years ago. The object of the U.S.A. club is to restore a government of the people, by the people and for the people, and to hold every citizen eligible for an office or a job irrespective of his religious or political belief. Then there is nothing secret about the U.S.A. Its membership roll is open to all who care to inspect it. A candidate for membership is not required to pay an initiation fee to be divided between a kleagle, a cyclops and an imperial wizard. Nobody is barred because of his political or religious belief. All that is required of a member is that he obligate himself to uphold the constitution of the United States and grant to all citizens an equal right. That Anaheim has suffered because of Ku Klux domination cannot be denied. The brazen K. I. G. Y. signs on the pavement, viewed by thousands of tourists gave the city an unsavory reputation which will last long after the paint has worn away. It was stated by men who claimed to have seen them that signs were posted in certain garages in Los Angeles warning tourists traveling southward on the Kings' highway to detour Anaheim unless they were klansmen. This has placed the city in bad repute, but the people themselves are to blame. Citizens of Anaheim, what are you oing to do about it? There are four bars on the medal, each bearing the name of a battle in which he participated—Alma, Inkermann, Balaklava and Sevastopol. Not a single member of the Light Brigade is now living, as less than three hundred survived the disastrous charge and very few men who participated in the Crimean war are alive today. Captain Henry was one of the youngest men engaged in it and he has lived far beyond the allotted age of man. He is still hale and hearty in spite of the fact that the Russians shot him six times seventy years ago. BEAT AND BEAN MEN DIVIDE $650,000 Bean growers of Orange county identified with the Smeltzer, Greenville and San Joaquin Lima Bean Growers Association, and beet growers delivering to the Dyer plant of the Santa Ana Sugar Company are participating in cash distributions totaling around $650,000. The bean growers were checking against a deposit in excess of $205,000 made with the First National Bank of Santa Ana and credited to the account of the association, in round figures as follows: Smeltzer, $82,000; San Joaquin, $90,000 and Greenville, $33,000. Secretaries of the different organizations have virtually completed mailing to members checks covering the amounts due them. The distribution is on the basis of six cents a pound for this year's crop of limias and it was expected that duplicate amounts would be distributed in final payments. At this time it is anticipated that an average of 12½ cents a pound will be returned to association members. The Smeltzer association will split its total of $80,000 with thirty growers, the low check being $200 and the high $10,000. Twenty-one growers will participate in the distribution of $97,-174.88 by the San Joaquin association the low check being $233.30 and the high $12,007. In the Greenville association nine men will share in the $33,-000 distribution, the low check being $1163 and the high $7272. The distribution was on the basis of deliveries made up to October 1. Beet growers were participating in a distribution of approximately $350,-000 for deliveries made in September, according to announcement by C. A. Johnson, manager of the Orange county interest of the Holly Sugar Corporation, owner of the Santa Ana Sugar Company plant. Stating that approximately $200,000 was distributed for beets delivered in August, Johnson said the basis of the payments was on 5 cent sugar. Final payments will be made on the basis of price per pound received by the manufacturing company. Beets, the manager said, are averaging 18½ per cent sugar contents. The manager said that if the company selling price should average seven cents for the refined product, 18½ per cent beets would return to the grower between $12 and $13 per ton.
