RICHARDSON MAKES GOOD Further proof that Governor Friend W. Richardson has made good his campaign pledges, and has effected real economy and efficiency in state departments is contained in reports of departments for the first three and one-half years of his administration. Following is a brief summary of reports of 10 state departments. This is in addition to a summary of the showing made of 20 state departments previously announced: Division of Water Rights—Action on applications for water appropriation increased 86 per cent, or from 37 to 69 the national forests have already occurred this year, forest officers state. The expense of fighting these fires is in excess of $250,000, not counting the timber and other forest resources damaged and destroyed. More than half of this total number of fires were man-caused. As a fire prevention measure, regulations prohibiting smoking, except in improved camps and places of habitation, have been put into effect in practically all national forests of the state. But in many regions, it is claimed, even this has failed to reduce the number of destructive conflagrations started by human carelessness. "We do not wish to close the national forests to the public except as a last resort," said District Forester S. B. Show, chief of the California district. "But if the fire situation remains critical and the number of man-caused fires is not materially decreased, the forest service will be forced, under authority granted by congress, to close the federal forests to campers, fishermen, recreationists and every one who does not have important business therein." RICHARDSON WILL WIN Governor Richardson will not only be re-elected, but will defeat his opponents by a majority of not less than 100,000, is predicted in a statement issued by the newspaperman's committee, which is working for the election of Richardson. According to the statement, based upon independent surveys by a number of practical political observers, whose estimates were carefully checked up, a majority of more than 60,000 can be looked for in Southern California. Los Angeles county can be depended upon for a majority of at least 30,000, the statement declares. "The supporters of Richardson expect to go to the Tehachapi with no less than 60,000 majority next Tuesday night," the statement declares, "and careful estimates of the majority expected among the northern counties place the governor's majority at no less than 40,000." "During the last 10 days, the friends of Governor Richardson have been making a close survey of the situation," reads the statement, "and figures based on several of the most ardent will be re-elected of no less than 100,000."

May Close National Forests to Public Faced by a forest fire situation similar to the disastrous year of 1924, and menaced by unfavorable weather conditions, a growing number of big fires and the increased travel that always follows the opening of the statewide hunting season on September 1, the United States Forest Service is seriously considering the total closure of the national forests in California to public use.

Nelson has been Valuable to His County as District Attorney A man may safely be gauged by what he has done. So may a public official. That is why the friends of Alex P.

His leadership of all California prosecutors every year for six years in per cent of successful criminal prosecutions has made his administration a reign of terror for the crooks and criminals. His stalwart stand against the booze traffic District Attorney A man may safely be gauged by what he has done. So may a public official. That is why the friends of Alex P. Nelson point to his record as district attorney as proof of his fitness for the superior court bench. His leadership of all California prosecutors every year for six years in per cent of successful criminal prosecutions has made his administration a reign of terror for the crooks and criminals. His stalwart stand against the booze traffic is shown by the record of Santa Ana Justice Court, where the bulk of misdemeanor liquor cases are handled. In this court alone, Nelson's office has prosecuted 494 cases since the Wright Act was passed. Of that large number there were only three acquittals. This does not take into account the felony prosecutions of drunken drivers, in which cases virtually the same ratio of convictions resulted. In the civil courts Nelson has, in one series of cases, effected a direct saving of $130,000 to the county, besides legally establishing the county's system of assessing oil companies, which involved millions more. This is only one instance of the way he has served the county. In one way Nelson is not gifted. He is lacking in that showmanship and mastery of bally-hoo which too often is used to get votes and blind voters. He cannot rant and rave on matters out of point. But his record speaks for him—plainly and clearly. Friends of Nelson who have been working for his election as superior court judge find that his worth has been recognized and that the voters of Orange county are desirous that the Nelson type of manhood be retained in public service. They concede his ability and they admire the sort of courage that has produced his record of never having dodged an issue. Nelson's friends invite you, as a voter, to join the thousands who think that he has been of great value to the county as district attorney and that— He would be Still More Valuable as Judge of Superior Court (Journal Advertisement) Jernigan's Office is on a Business Basis Sam Jernigan is closing his first term as sheriff of Orange county remarkably free from personal criticism. No shadow of suspicion has been cast against him, and the highest commendation is expressed for his unfailing cordiality. Even those who express a preference for another candidate qualify their selection by saying they haven't anything personally against the present incumbent. The only criticism heard is of a minor nature and is directed against some member of the sheriff's staff, but this character of criticism will apply to any organization whether political or otherwise. No newspaper, no bank, no dry goods store escapes this kind.

Theency of the Jernigan admin-conceded. It is conclusive been economical and efficient are the vital elements with the determination is based on lieved that the taxpayer and voter elected him as a sheriff and not a nurse. Therefore, he has refrained from using the time of the public to "visit" all over the county just to get a reputation as a "good fellow." If you want a sheriff who attends to The Good First Term Deserves a Second Term PECT SAM JERNIGAN FOR SHERIFF Mr. Ball will Fight Our Battle for Water I have assured the people of Orange county that I will not only vote the Metropolitan Water bill, which offers the only possible avenue for part of this county to get any drop of water from the Colorado river, also will work for it as hard as I ever worked for anything in my life. People of the county have a right to know how each of us will vote if unity is given. To me, the greatest opportunity this county ever had to get outside water is right at hand, and yet my opponent votedst the measure at the last legislature and absolutely fails to tell us he expects to vote, if elected, when the matter comes up again." What Is Metropolitan Water Bill? What Is Metropolitan Water Bill? pointed out by W. J. Carr, of Pasadena former state senator, one of the figures in the Boulder Dam assoc and a representative of Pasadena Los Angeles in making the fight inington for the Swing-Johnson bill, the bill gave especial consideration to the county. Metropolitan Water bill was drawn that there might be set up for use machinery by which a district could named of Southern California cities, district could be bonded for raising it to be used to build an aqueduct the Colorado river to deliver water northern California cities. Combine to Get Water for this bill, cities could combine to water. Excepting Los Angeles, no city could possibly bring water to its The only chance that Santa Ana, Fullerton, Anaheim, Huntington Newport Beach, Brea or any other organized city could have of getting into river water would be through the organization of some district that would be Los Angeles. Provision Written In addition, a provision was written into bill, at the request of Orange countyers of the committee preparing it, giving the water to be delivered to all other communities on a uniform basis. It was an exceedingly generous con- to Orange county, since a 50-mile from the main line of the aqueduct required to reach this county. This by the terms of the bill, to be provided by the district rather than by the individual cities in this county. In a statement Senator Carr quotes Section 6 of the bill and then says: "It will be observed that under this provision cities from counties outside of Los Angeles would be given an absolute veto power on anything proposed and this, although the city of Los Angeles will probably have 85 per cent of the assessed valuation and population in the district. "Subdivision 8 of Section 6, dealing with the powers of the board of directors, is as follows: "To fix the rates at which water shall be sold; provided, however, that rates shall be uniform for like classes of service throughout the district." Of Importance Here "While this may appear to be an inconspicuous provision, it is tremendously important to Orange county. The main aqueduct of course would run near Redlands and along the San Gabriel valley. To get water to the Orange county cities, it would require a long and expensive lateral aqueduct. Under this provision, the district as a whole would have to bear the expense of the aqueduct. The bill might very properly be called the Orange county bill. This provision so important to Orange county was put in the bill largely because of the effective work done by Col. S. H. Finley, of Santa Ana, and Oscar Gunther, of Orange, who were on the committee which had charge of the preparation of the measure."
