Hoover's campaign Recovered Loot Of Burglaries Fills a Room The bureau of identification at the sheriff's office, Santa Ana, assumed the character of Ali Baba's cave as the loot from burglaries charged to Edward Davis, Santa Ana real estate salesman, was being assembled in a collection valued at several thousands of dollars. Jewelry, silver, wearing apparel and other articles of widely varied character and assortment has been gathered by the officers of Anaheim and Santa Ana who have been investigating the alleged activities of Davis and Mrs. Lydia Schroeder, 36, both of whom lived at 1402 West Fourth street, Santa Ana, where the loot was said to have been found. A half dozen red fox furrs, a table covered with silk lingerie, several pairs of shoes and slippers, bathrobes, dresses, clocks, a couple of expensive cameras, several beautiful cameos, a diamond ring and other rings, half a dozen watches, numerous costly sets of silverware and a vast lot of other articles have been brought in to await identification. The loot fills a large room. GHIEF APPLICATIONS LAST MEETING; ORDERING AND OPPOSITION RECEIVED; CORNERWAY AND PALM TREE RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT BATCH OF BILLS Chief of Police J. S. mitted a list of appoinitions on the police force. These men will serve with them will not be on action. On His Way to California to Cast Vote for Himself; Will Call Extra Session, if Elected, to Consider Farm Relief Unless Action Taken at Short Session; Republicans Are Confident of Victory for Party Herbert Hoover, California's favorite son, and the Republican candidate for president, is on his way back home after making a vigorous campaign, and will arrive at Palo Alto in time to vote for himself. Hoover's campaign has been clean and free from mud-slinging. He is too great a man to indulge in such tactics, and has shown himself to be fitted in every way for the high office of president of the United States. Mr. Hoover's speeches have been logical and convincing, and prove that he has a remarkable grasp of the national situation and the legislation needed by all classes of industry. He has made no promises that he cannot fulfill, and his integrity is acknowledged by all who have heard him or read his speeches. He announces that he considers farm relief the most important question now confronting the government, and unless congress acts at the coming short session he will immediately call the new congress together for the purpose of considering ideas on the best methods to be adopted." His position was outlined in the following statement: "The question of a special session of congress after March 4 in the event of return of the Republican party has been under discussion for some time. There are a number of questions, particularly agriculture relief, which urgently required solution and should not go delayed for a whole year. It is our most urgent economic problem." "I should hope it can be dealt with at the regular session this fall and thus a special session be avoided. If, however, that cannot be accomplished, I would, if elected, not allow the matter to drift and would of necessity call an extra session so as to secure early constructive action." Senator Borah, one of the foremost advocates of farm relief, who is in full accord with Mr. Hoover's plans, after a conference with Mr. Hoover, issued a statement urging a special session, unless some action is taken at the coming short session, which he said should pass measures: 1. Establishing tariff duties upon farm products. 2. Establishing a more satisfactory marketing system "so as to enable the farmers to market their products without the enormous expense which is now necessarily incurred." 3. Setting up a federal farm board. "As I see it, we ought to have better protection for the farmer's products, we ought to have a better marketing system and we ought to have a farm board with authority and with funds to co-operate in disposing of his surplus," Borah said. "The campaign has developed this Davis and Mrs. Lydia Schroeder, 36, both of whom lived at 1402 West Fourth street, Santa Ana, where the loot was said to have been found. A half dozen red fox furs, a table covered with silk lingerie, several pairs of shoes and slippers, bathrobes, dresses, clocks, a couple of expensive cameras, several beautiful camoes, a diamond ring and other rings, half a dozen watches, numerous costly sets of silverware and a vast lot of other articles have been brought in to await identification.

Cole of Western avenue, met a tragic death in his father's orange grove Wednesday night. Fumigators were at work in the orchard and the young man went out into the grove early in the night. The next morning he was found dead, lying near a fumigating pump, from which apparently gas had escaped. Coroner Brown made an investigation Friday and decided that an inquest was not necessary as death had evidently resulted from inhalation of the poisonous gas. He issued a certificate to the effect that the young man's death was accidental. Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Saturday at the parlors of Backs, Terry & Campbell, Dr. Benjamin S. Haywood delivering the sermon, and the pallbearers were classmates of his at the Santa Ana Junior college. Donald Cole was a member of last year's graduating class of the Anaheim Union High school, and was popular among his associates. This year he has been attending the Santa Ana Junior college. His tragic and untimely death is deplored by a wide circle of friends.

Setting up a federal farm board. "As I see it, we ought to have better protection for the farmer's products, we ought to have a better marketing system and we ought to have a farm board with authority and with funds to co-operate in disposing of his surplus." Borah said. "The campaign has developed this question and these issues so that there need not be any unnecessary delay, and agriculture would get the benefit of it for the coming year. There is every reason for a special session and to my mind no sound reason against it." The program Borah outlined embodied Hoover's farm relief proposals. A statement from his headquarters several days ago said a special session had been considered but no conclusion reached. The movement was left to Borah, who is the chief "stump" speaker Tor Hoover. Hoover himself, will make his final campaign appeal for the far mote in his St. Louis speech tomorrow. A political campaign, resembling nothing that the country has experienced in the past, is drawing to a close. There has been some passion evinced, much prejudice. But this is not peculiar to this campaign. Passion and prejudice enter into every act of our lives, political and otherwise. The history-making features of this campaign lie in the presentation of the issues, and in the fact that the radio, for the first time, has carried every word spoken by the candidates to every citizen who desired to listen. And there is evidence that more citizens have listened than ever before in the history of American politics. Incidentally, the newspapers have performed the function of carrying political intelligence as never before. The newspapers and the radio, working together, have informed the public of the issues. There is no excuse worth while that the voter can devise concerning his preparation for the polls. Now the case of Herbert Hoover and Al Smith goes to the great American jury, a political jury of something like one hundred and thirty millions of people. It does not look as if Al Smith had made out a case. It looks as if Herbert Hoover is to be the winner. In fact, if one is fair, it will be admitted that at no time has the Democratic candidate made any outstanding impression. The people are in favor of the continuance of Republican prosperity. Much as they admire Smith for his human qualities, his undoubted ability, the people cannot afford to place their destiny in the hands of the Democratic party. As Associate Justice Hughes said: "The issue is prosperity." There is nothing in the prohibition question. If that is ever to be changed it must come through the action of state legislatures, not presidents of the United States. The Democratic candidate has offered nothing in the way of a plan for the relief of the farmer. The Republican candidate has not been swerved from his plan to keep government out of business, and at the same time to develop natural resources. Politicians are sorry business executives. The people know if. Al Smith's public ownership scheme may not be pure Socialism, but it is impracticable, and has been proved to be so in every part of this country. The case is in the hands of the jury. The summary shows that the people are asked to determine whether Herbert Hoover, engineer of unquestioned ability, or Al Smith, able politician, be placed in control of the country's policies for four years. Left to their own judgment the people have always chosen the best available material. That's why we predict confidently that Herbert Hoover will be elected by an overwhelming popular majority, and by an electoral vote greater even than that of Calvin Coolidge. Announcement was W.C.

Head Explains Water Danger Appeals to Voters to Vote Against Proposition No. 7 ANAHEIM GAZETTE: Proposition No. 7 on the ballot is plausibly and skillfully worded so that it has the appearance of being a water conservation measure. In fact it is a stab in the back of the law of riparian rights on which most of the water rights in this state, particularly in Southern California, are founded; and it contains a "joker" which will provide the means and the excuse for folling another politically appointed commission on this commission-ridden state—a water rights commission, vested with the powers of life and death of communities in California, for with us preservation of our established water rights is necessary for our very existence. Few realize upon what a slender thread hangs the fate of Orange county. We are at the bottom of an hourglass, and can get only the water that trickles through the narrow neck above us. Above that neck are many thousands of acres of dry land thrasting for water, and there is no lack of speculators eager to sieze the water, spread it on that land and reap rich profits regardless of the dire consequences to millions of dollars' worth of improvements in the lower end of the hourglass. It is only the established law and constant vigilance by our irrigation companies that prevents our beautiful valley from being dried up and reduced to a desert waste. We have been three-quarters of a finished and our water law interpreted and settled. Adoption of Proposition No. 7 can only result in uncertainty and confusion. It is unnecessary and dangerous. Claims are made that it is needed to aid in the development of parts of the San Joaquin Valley That valley can be developed Just as have other valleys in California, by organization of Irrigation Districts and acquisition by them of necessary water bearing lands and water rights by purchase, A Procession More Than A Mile Long, Starting at Olive and Center, and Ending at the City Park; Five Bands and Drum Corps Heading the Various Divisions; Ball Game and Dancing Ended Gala Affair The fifth annual Hallowe'en festival presented by the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association held last night was witnessed by a crowd of at least 25,000 people who came from all the four points of the compas, and was pronounced the most successful ever yet held.The city has been gaily decorated for several days with carnival colors and witches, black cats,pumpkins etc., always associated with Hallowe'en have been displayed in profusion in nearly all the windows.All the lamp posts on Center and Los Angeles street were swathed in corn fodder,and the scar and yellow autumn colors were conspicuous everywhere. The parade was over a mile in length and was divided into six divisions,nearly all of them headed by a band or drum corps.All the divisions were formed in line to the east of Olive street,and when the siren announced the moment of starting they got in motion each division following in at its allotted place.Following is the line of march with the firms having entries in it.

C. Childers, chairman of the poultry department, that the next meeting of this group is to be at the Garden Grove Women's clubhouse, Friday, November 2, 7:30 p.m. An educational and entertainment committee has been arranged by the Program committee, consisting of W. S. Hatch, H. A. Relinay and E. J. Campbell. Mr. Campbell has obtained some unusual talent, together with motion pictures for the occasion. Subjects presented will be "Marketing Poultry Meat to Advantage," by W. A. Coat, Fontana Farms company, and "Reapportionment," by Norman M. Blainey, secretary of the Orange County Farm bureau. The feature of the evening is a box social. Since some may have never attended such an affair, a word of explanation may be timely. Each lady brings a basket, decorated or not, containing light refreshments for two. Residents of the new subdivisions along North Bradford street, Placentia, are circulating a petitoin asking the chamber of commerce to take up the matter of a new water line with the city council and the water company. The original pipe line laid north along Bradford street from the tanks was very small and intended to serve the school. The adoption of this proposition is being actively urged by an organization using some such name as "Water Users' Association." It is spending much money, sending out misleading literature; furnishing prepared editorials to newspapers, many of which are used by editors uninformed on the subject and ignorant of what is back of this proposition. It is charged that most of the money for this propaganda is furnished by power corporations, subdivision promoters, and selfish interests seeking a loop-hole through which to sharp-shoot at established rights. It is reported that one promotion scheme in Orange county is anxiously awaiting the adoption of Proposition No. 7 in the belief that thereby it will be enabled to raid the water supply which another community of the county needs and has used for more than a century. If this proposition is adopted no good will be accomplished and much damage may result. Vote "No" on No. 7. H. C. HEAD. Melrose street).

C. Head attorney for the Anaheim Union Water company, has contributed something toward the censure of the three Fullerton councilmen who recently voted a franchise for a pipe line to the Union Oil Co., which is to be used to carry water from the Santa Women's Study Club Indorses Hoover Anaheim Delegates Attend Convention at Los Angeles on Tuesday Members of the Anaheim Republican Study club attending the fourth annual convention of the Republican Woman's Federation of California in Los Angeles October 30th, were: Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, president; Mrs. E. E. Smith, delegate; Mrs. C. P. Spottswood, alternate; Mrs. Rena Wheeler, Mrs. H. H. Benjamin, Mrs. Laura Sears, Miss Amy Wheeler, Mrs. Rena Wheeler was a member of the nominating committee and Miss Amy Wheeler served on the credentials committee. Mrs. Charles Van de Water of Long Beach, was unanimously chosen president to succeed Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, who was made president-emeritus. Mrs. Porter is known throughout the state of California as the Dean of Republican women. At the close of the afternoon session resolutions were passed commending and promising support to the Kellogg-Briand treaty and urging its ratification by Congress; to President Coolidge, "whose wise administration has won the confidence and love of the people by his sane and economic rule;" indorsement of the work of Herbert Hoover as Secretary of Commerce, and a renewal of faith in Gov. Young of California. A very important point brought out in the convention is the danger of Prohibitionist who are for Hoover voting in the Prohibition column instead of the Republican, Mrs. W. E. Evans, wife of Congressman Evans, made it very clear that all such votes would be lost to Hoover. At the banquet in the evening John L. McNab of San Francisco, who nominated Hoover at the Republican National convention, declared if the Republican Presidential candidate is elected, the Boulder Canyon Dam will become a reality, but if he is defeated, the Swing-Johnson bill will be relegated to the scrap heap. Congressmen Crail and Evans, Frank Merrillam, chairman of the State Republican committee; Col. Eric Fowler and Louis B. Mayer, were honored guests. Each spoke briefly. With the installation of the new officers the fourth annual convention of the Republican Woman's Federation of California was brought to a close with each woman feeling she had done her bit in her country's service in working for the election of Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis. NOTED SPEAKER HERE H. C. Head, attorney for the Anaheim Union Water company, has contributed something toward the censure of the three Fullerton councilmen who recently voted a franchise for a pipe line to the Union Oil Co., which is to be used to carry water from the Santa Ana river to lands north of Fullerton. Mr. Head says: The three members of the city council of Fullerton who voted in favor of granting a franchise for a water pipe line to the Union Oil company, surely did so from lack of knowledge of the seriousness of the situation and ignorance of the damage which will result to the city of Fullerton and its people from the construction of that pipe line and the carrying out of the plans of the Union Oil company. It is inconceivable that those three gentlemen would have deliberately voted in favor of doing a thing so fraught with disaster to their city and its people. It is a matter of common knowledge that the Union Oil company and the Bastanchury Ranch company desire to pump water from a tract of land south of Orangethorpe avenue, a short distance west from the Crowther pumping plant of the Anaheim Union Water company, and conduct that water to lands in the hills north of the city of Fullerton for irrigation of said land. One of the three trustees is reported to have declared that he had no knowledge of what use was to be made of the pipe line. If that is true, he is not fit to be a member of the council, for he ought to know what every one else does, and at any rate ought to ascertain the use intended to be made of such a pipe line before voting in favor of granting the franchise. In the first place, water used for irrigation on any of the aforesaid land is used out of the watershed from which it is taken, and no part of it can ever return to the basin from which it is taken no matter whether it is used on the La Habra side of the slope or on the Fullerton side, for in either case the drainage is westerly to Coyote creek and Alamitos bay. In the second place, the basin from which it is proposed to pump water is already being depleted and the water level therein becoming lower and lower each year. The Anaheim Union Water company has kept a record of the water levels in that basin for many years, and those records show a continual lowering of the water level. For example, watero at the Crowther pumping plant is thirty-four feet lower than it was five years ago. The water level in the Rorden pumping plant is approximately forty feet lower than it was five years ago. Water levels in the wells of the city of Anaheim show a gradual decline during the same period. The city of Fullerton obtains its water NOTED SPEAKER HERE Lieut.-Col. LeRoy F. Smith of the "Better American Federation," and a very prominent man in the state and nation as a public speaker, and active in the American Legion work, will speak next Sunday evening. November 4, at 7:30 in White Temple Methodist church on "The Four Horsemen." Col. Smith comes under the auspices of the Men's Bible Class, and a great men's night is sponsored by them. The men interested in civic righteousness and all others interested are cordially invited.
