THE ANAHEIM GAZETTE HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Proprietor ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR $2.00 SIX MONTHS 1.25 THREE MONTHS .75 Entered at the Anaheim, California, Post Office as second class matter. SENATOR SHORTRIDGE ADMITTING for the sake of the argument that everything Hiram Johnson says concerning Senator Shortridge is true—that Senator Shortridge has stood by the President when the President was wrong, and all that sort of nonsense—the citrus growers, walnut growers, bean growers and olive growers of Orange county would rather have Shortridge on guard at Washington as a member of the finance committee of the Senate, standing as a bulwark against the attacks upon the tariff by New York importers and foreign growers, than to try the experiment of sending a new man to Washington, who would not be a member of this important committee and could not have any important committee assignments during his first term of office. All these Orange county farmers stand in need of tariff protection, as otherwise their business would face bankruptcy. As Senator Shortridge said in his talk at the Elks Club the other day, which is referred to more extensively on another page, the freight on a box of oranges or lemons shipped from Orange county to the eastern market is as much as the entire cost of producing these fruits in Spain and Sicily, plus carriage across the Atlantic and laid down beside our local fruit in the New York markets. We must have the tariff, or the orchards of this magnificent county, the garden spot of California, will be unsuccessful financially and will be operated at a loss. To displace Shortridge from this important committee would be political destruction, which the voters of Orange county cannot for a moment countenance. It is Shortridge on the finance committee and safety, or a new and untried man, which would be fraught with the greatest danger. That is the political situation confronting us in Orange county today. But will Hiram Johnson kindly point out to us wherein the But will Hiram Johnson kindly point out to us wherein the President was wrong? Was the President wrong when he told the foreign debtor nations cancellation of their obligations was not to be for a moment considered? Was he wrong when he said cancellation meant added burdens of taxation upon our people, and that so far from increasing these burdens it was the policy of his administration to decrease them? Was he wrong when he cut the national budget from five and a half billion dollars, five years ago, to a trifle over three billion dollars today? Was he wrong when he reduced the income taxes $380,000,000 last spring? Was he wrong when he told the corn and wheat men that co-operative marketing of their crops was the most important thing for them to consider? Was he wrong when he opposed Magnus Johnson's scheme for an appropriation of half a billion dollars to buy farm products at double their value and hold them for a raise? Was he wrong when he said that he could not tax money out of one set of people and give it to another? When was the President wrong? Senator Johnson splits hairs in his fault-finding about the Denby, Dougherty, Teapot Dome, Muscle Shoals and other cases, but we have faith in the President that he is right, and has been, and will continue to handle all these things right. We regard the President as one of the greatest men who ever occupied the office of chief executive. We are for him for another term. Senator Shortridge is a lovable, upright and honorable gentleman, beloved by all who know him, and he would not follow any man wrong, be that man even the President of the United States. Hiram Johnson is an old, dispirited and disappointed man, who has been eclipsed at Washington by Senator Shortridge, and whose political sun is setting, whose political grave yawns for him but five days away. DOWN WITH THIS MAN YOUNG WHAT is the basis of C. C. Young's right to seek the Republican nomination for governor of California? By the record, C. C. Young scorns the idea and the doctrine of party responsibility in government, the doctrine on which the republic is founded. He stands only for personal expediency. He is a demagogue when he calls himself a Republican and when he seeks the support of Republican party members. Let us examine the record. This is the same C. C. Young who attempted to legislate the Republican party out of existence in 1915. He is the same C. C. Young who during the eighteen years he has been on the state payroll, feeding at the public trough, has at various times been a candidate for the Progressive party, the Prohibition party and wanted to be a man without a party, the candidate for the no-party machine of tax eaters that was in power in 1915. Now he asks a nomination by the Republicans of California. C. C. Young was the author and advocate of Assembly bill No. 715, that was forced through the legislature of 1915. The act made all state officers, including governor and members of the legislature non-partisan. The object of this bill was to do This is the same C. C. Young who attempted to legislate the Republican party out of existence in 1915. He is the same C. C. Young who during the eighteen years he has been on the state payroll, feeding at the public trough, has at various times been a candidate for the Progressive party, the Prohibition party and wanted to be a man without a party, the candidate for the no-party machine of tax eaters that was in power in 1915. Now he asks a nomination by the Republicans of California. C. C. Young was the author and advocate of Assembly bill No. 715, that was forced through the legislature of 1915. The act made all state officers, including governor and members of the legislature non-partisan. The object of this bill was to do away with party organization altogether, to wipe out the Republican as well as the Democratic party, and by thus annihilating opportunity for organized opposition, perpetuate in power in California the state political machine built up through patronage of which C. C. Young was a part. The people of California were outraged by the passage of this bill and its signing by Hiram Johnson, and they at once ordered a referendum election, at which they defeated the measure. In a misguided moment North Dakota adopted non-partisanism. With it came Townleyism and bankruptcy for state institutions and private business. C. C. Young would make California like North Dakota. Are the Republican voters of California going to permit him the opportunity to commit such a crime? What is C. C. Young's record in crime suppression and upholding the hand of justice? As lieutenant-governor in the Stephens administration he was chairman of the advisory board of pardons. Young joined in recommending twenty-four pardons and eighteen commutations of sentences. These covered twenty-one first degree murders, ten second degree murders and various other crimes from robbery to rape and lewd and lascivious conduct against children. Can the people of California afford to trust C. C. Young with the power to extend executive clemency? What does the record promise for C. C. Young regarding efficient and economical conduct of the state's business? He served as ringleader in a plot to destroy the budget system and to add to state expenditures $40,000,000 of appropriations for non-essential purposes. Under Richardson the taxpayers have been saved this great sum. Can the people trust C. C. Young to take charge of their government finances and business? What does the record promise from C. C. Young in the form of sound judgment on economic questions? He is openly allied with the Socialist advocates of the notorious water and power act. He is this day training with the Socialists and Communists of the so-called "Conference for Progressive Poltical Action" and with Franklin Hichborn. Can citizens who love their state trust their fortunes with such a man? There is no justification for the candidacy of C. C. Young. He is a menace to the cause of good government and to the prosperity of California. He should be and will be defeated.

CREDIT DUE RICHARDSON Here in Napa county we have the opportunity of viewing certain import- India True-Blue Tube—What It Means to You Heat-proof is not a mere advertising catch phrase. It is a one word description of an inner tube which is the first to overcome the disintegration (burning up) caused by friction of present high speed travel and heavy loads. It is applied to a tube which will not age either in service or on the dealer’s shelf but remains for years exactly as it is when it comes out of the factory. When kept in the service for which it is designed, it will not wear out. The explanation for this is simple: Heat is the natural enemy of rubber and if the rubber is treated so as to resist it successfully, the final barrier has been passed. It is small wonder that India True-Blue heat-proof inner tubes are causing a flurry in the rubber industry and enjoying a rapidly increasing demand. Car owners are quick to respond to a tube which gives them a trouble-free service which is far greater than any they have ever experienced. Especially in connection with balloon tires is this new India development of significant importance because this type of tire is subjected continuously to extreme flexing action, which burns up ordinary tubes faster than ever. India dealers have recognized the tremendous advantage they have in the True-Blue tube, and have lost no time in the opportunity to increase their sales by leaps and bounds. And these sales are not confined to heavy service sizes. On the contrary, a very large percentage of the new business is on passenger car sizes. West Brothers find that the public are accepting this new tube very heartily, and they keep a complete stock at all times. Before you buy any new tubes, stop in at West Brothers and see this new tube and note the difference from the average tube. DESCRIBING HIM Head of the house—Gentleman wants to see? Who is he? DEED of dedication from Skidmore Brothers Corporation, et al, was accepted and ordered placed on record. The petition of Joe Skidmore, et al, to vacate and abandon certain public highway in the Fifth Road District was lenient. It was ordered that Santa Ana Canyon street at Olive be closed between the hours of 7 p.m. and 12 m., on August 13, 1926. CREDIT DUE RICHARDSON Here in Napa county we have the opportunity of viewing certain important activities of the state administration; and so we are enabled to frame our judgments upon something more angible than newspaper reports and gossip, and something more reliable than the stump speeches of professional politicians as they come to us over the radio. The presence in the Napa valley of the Napa State Hospital and the Napa State Farm and the new State Game Farm; and the fact also that the Veterans' Home, which is supported partly by state appropriation, is located within the boundaries of this county gives us "closeups" that speak most eloquently. We know of conditions at these state institutions in our very midst because we see them with our own eyes. We know that the Napa State Hospital and the Napa State Farm were never handled more efficiently and less "politically" than now. And the same goes for the Veterans' Home, where under the administration of Commandant Holderman, the best results are attained. The Napa Game Farm is new, but it is apparent that in August Bade it is enjoying the services of one of the best men in his line on the Pacific coast, and it is already achieving a success that is a credit to the state of California. Governor Richardson has taken a great personal interest in these great institutions. And he is to be given the credit for the high standards they maintain. Now, if these things be true of state institutions here that we ourselves can see, why is it not reasonable to believe they are true elsewhere, and with reference to other state activities? We are making this point by way of warning the voter to beware of the politician with an ax to grind who is attacking the administration of Governor Friend W. Richardson.—Napa, Iegister. J. E.

Livesey Sr., of Santa Ana, was in Anaheim today meeting the voters of this place and expressing his desires to be the next treasurer of Orange county. Having been a resident of Orange county for the past twenty-two years, "Jim," as he is familiarly known, needs little introduction, as he was in the mercantile business in Santa Ana for fifteen years and the last seven as a real estate broker. To show the confidence his home people have in him, it is only to be said that last year Mr. Livesey served at the president of the Santa Ana Realty Board, and as foreman at the last meeting of the grand jury, both positions which he filled with credit to himself and to those so placing him there. As foreman of the grand jury, Mr. Livesey saved the taxpayers of the county $1585.54 over the corresponding cost of the board for the year 1924. "I am in the race to win," said Mr. Livesey: "and to those desiring to back a winner, all I can say is just vote for me, and they'll not lose it."—Adv.
