Candidates Define Their Positions Garrison, Quarton and Bruns Discuss the Issues at Stake The following statement from Fred H. Garrison, W. P. Quarton and G. W. Bruns, candidates for Councilmen opposed to the present form of government, explains their attitude on city affairs: TO THE VOTERS OF ANAHEIM: Noticing in the past few days two different letters appearing in our daily newspaper purporting to have been written by two ex-councilmen, with reference to our candidacy to the offices of City Trustees, wherein the writers of these letters seemed to have appointed themselves as spokesmen, not only for the people of Anaheim, but as well for the three gentlemen who are opposing us in our candidacies, we candidates, speaking for ourselves and not asking others to do our talking, desire to submit the following: First, our plan for governing our city is the same plan all the other cities of the sixth class of our State operate under, some 1000 in number. It is simply complying with that certain act adopted by our State Legislature under which all of the cities of the sixth class have operated for many years, which act provides for the organization, regulation and government of cities of the sixth class, known as Act No. 3094, Chapter 7 of the General Laws of the State of California. Can it be that these This reticence on the part of these three candidates does not seem to have stirred the germ of inquiry in the breasts of our two letter-writing ex-councilmen, but isn't it fair to all the people that they come out clear and above board and tell us exactly their views, their platform and what they stand for? Lastly, we can see no real purpose in entering into any newspaper controversy on the pros and cons of the City Manager form of government. Our city operated some fifty odd years without it and a little over ten years with it. We therefore have first hand information as to its value. The voters of Anaheim are either for this form of government or against it. They are in G. W. BRUNS favor of centralizing our governmental powers and duties in the hands of one man, or in favor of decentralizing this power and leaving it in the hands of the several who are elected for that specific purpose. They either believe that a one-man government is better than a five-man government, or they believe that five men, all elected by the people, to govern us is better than one man appointed by our trustees whom FRED H. GARRISON two letter-writing ex-councilmen had no knowledge of this State law under which Anaheim and all other cities of the sixth class are compelled to operate, except some thirty-odd cities, including Anaheim, who have disguised this form of government under the City Manager plan? Second, one need not be surprised at the defense given the City Manager form of government by the two letter-writing ex-councilmen when, by looking back to the time when this costly and un-American experiment was first perpetrated upon our people, we find that one of the ex-councilmen was Mayor and the other a member of the Board of Trustees. Can we expect faults of a child to be recognized by his parents? The two letters written by these ex-councilmen convince us that they are opposed to our candidates and in favor of the City Manager form of government, and that's that. Third, we wish to state to the people that we do not intend to conduct our campaign through the question and answer column of any newspaper, nor do we intend to have our campaign degenerated into a prolonged squabble with these two letter-writing ex-councilmen or any other persons. G. W. BRUNS favor of centralizing our governmental powers and duties in the hands of one man, or in favor of decentralizing this power and leaving it in the hands of the several who are elected for that specific purpose. They either believe that a one-man government is better than a five-man government, or they believe that five men, all elected by the people, to govern us is better than one man appointed by our trustees whom they have no choice. They either believe that their duly elected trustees shall be relieved of as much control and supervision of our governmental affairs as possible, which is assured under the City Manager form of government, or that the five trustees shall assume their offices and diligently perform the various duties required of them in running our city government. They are either in favor of making it unobjectionable for our trustees to take long protracted vacations with pay, and the city unconveniently by their absence, or they may expect and require that the five trustees they elect to conduct the affairs of our city be required to stay home and attend to city business. The people either believe that no great dissatisfaction exists in our city on account of the City Manager form of government, or they believe that our city affairs have been kept constantly in a turmollon account of this office. They either believe that with the city manager form of government the five trustees they elect will conscientiously execute the duties of their offices after fully informing themselves as to the merits or demerits of any action they are called upon to sanction, or the city trustees under the City Manager form of government will depend, so a great extent, upon the views and suggestions of the City Manager and thus fall to diligently investigate the matters they may be called upon to decide, trusting in the City Manager to do it for them; in other words, they either believe that the City Manager form of government is or is not good for lazy councilmen. The people either believe that out of our last three mayors all except the present mayor resigned from the Board of Trustees during the past three or four years, while one other member of our present Board has absented himself from the duties of his office by a protracted leave of absence in another State, all on account of the turmollon dissatisfaction that may have existed with our city affairs, or that this unheard-of loss of so many councilmen within such a short time was merely a co-incidence or justified by some other excuse. The people either believe that any change in our plan of government might be worse or they believe that no matter what change is made, it could be no worse than the one we have. Trusting that our views have been expressed clearly and that the voters may be granted the same courtesy from the opposing ticket, we remain. Yours for a true representative form of government. (Signed): W. P. QUARTON ably are wondering about the views of Messrs. Koesel, Sheridan and Martenet relative to the City Manager form of government. They have made no public statements as to their stand on this question. One of these men subscribed to our platform. Is he still of that opinion? He expressed a desire to run on our ticket. What are his views? It is rumored that our opponents feel exactly as we do with reference to the abolishing of the office of City Manager. Again, it is rumored that they intend to discharge our present City Manager and inflict another individual through this office upon the people. We have made our views plain and readable; now what is their position? The voters of Anaheim are entitled to this information without any further procrastination. Shaffer’s “Call of Golf” Strikes Responsive Chord Just as Jack London's "Call of the Wild" struck a responsive chord among the adventurous, so has H. J. Shaffer's "Call of Golf" struck an enthusiastic reception among his friends. In fact, so lively has his "Call of Golf" been received that Mr. Shaffer himself and his friends forget temporary pangs of aching muscles and blistering fingers in anticipation of daybreak and twilight twosomes and four-somes. Armed with lawn mowers, hoes and scythes, Mr. Shaffer made his first announcement of a new 18-hole pitch and putter course now being constructed on five lots in the 500 block between Helena and Dickel streets. The announcement came in the form of action, for he believes work speaks louder than words. Friends of the golf course owner anticipate completion of his work within a week, and the first game of golf is drawing considerable attention. But the man who is plotting the course says it will give his "plot" away to announce in advance when the miniature fairway and greens will be ready for the trek of himself and friends along its devious routes. State to Aid Sheriff Jerrigan Bureau of Criminal Identification Will Solve Knotty Problems Whenever Sheriff Sam Jernigan of Orange county has a particularly knotty crime to solve in the future, he may call upon one of the detectives from California's "Scotland Yard" to aid in bringing the criminals to justice. These detectives will be supplied by the State Bureau of Criminal Identification, which under a law adopted by the 1929 legislature, is empowered to add a staff of "criminal investigators," similar to the world-famous "Scotland Yard" of London. According to Clarence S. Morrill, chief of the bureau, the investigators may be detailed to work anywhere in California upon request of the Attorney General, any district attorney, sheriff, chief of police or police officer. The men appointed on this staff, and their records, are: Harry C. Hickok of Los Angeles, with 21 years' experience in police work. He began in 1904 as a patrolman on the Los Angeles police force. In 1911 he was promoted to sergeant of police, in 1912 he was made detective sergeant and assigned to the homicide detail, and in 1923 promoted to detective captain. These promotions were all secured through competitive examinations. While serving in the police department he stuled law and was admitted to the bar in 1913. He retired from the department in 1926. Milton F. Nuremberg of Los Angeles, at present with the Los Angeles sheriff's office. A veteran of the World war, serving overseas, he joined the New York State Troopers after his discharge, following graduation from the New York state school for police at Troy, N.Y. He then served three years with the troopers, winning the rank of corporal and sergeant. Moving to Los Angeles, he served 18 months with an international investigation agency, and in 1924 was named deputy sheriff and assigned to the division of records and investigation where he conducted latent fingerprint, photographic and general Saint Michael's Episcopal Church E.

Charles H. Stone of Sacramento, former chief of police of Bakersfield. He started police work as guard at Nevada State prison in 1904. From 1909 to 1916 he was a sergeant in the Nevada State police, assigned to combat an uprising of Shoshone Indians in that state. During the latter part of his employment he was put in charge of the Bureau of Identification. In 1916 he moved to Bakersfield where he installed and operated the city and county bureau of identification. In 1919 he became chief of police of Bakersfield, resigning in August, 1923, to become modus operandi expert with the State Bureau of Criminal Identification, where he has been employed since. In addition to the foregoing, Fred A. Knoles of Los Angeles was also appointed by the state board of managers as statistician in charge of the bureau's statistical section. Knoles has been employed as chief statistician of the Los Angeles police department since inauguration of its statistical bureau in 1923. Electrical tabulating equipment for indexing and correlating crime statistics is now being installed in the division, and will be in operation within the week, thereby putting in actual operation the first state crime statistical bureau in the United States.
