HOOVER BACKED BY LOCAL G.O.P. Resolution Adopted Tuesday Evening by Republicans Hits at Democratic Criticism Orange county republicans, if they follow the enthusiastic lead of prominent speakers at the party rally held in Santa Ana Tuesday evening, will go to the polls May 3 100 percent strong to cast a complimentary primary vote for President Hoover. Mrs. Robert J. Burdette expressed the consensus of opinion at the large rally when she said: "If the republicans fail to vote at the primary because of a lack of contest, the democrats with three candidates may pile up a larger total vote." Other speakers included Judge Robert M. Clark and Col. William Eric Fowler, chairman of the Los Angeles county central committee. They admonished republicans to back President Hoover strongly because other states are watching the way in which the president's own California will back him. Endorse Hoover Republicans attending the meeting unanimously adopted a resolution demanding the continuance of Hoover in the White House, recommending formation of an Orange county republican club, and striking back at the undue criticism of President Hoover by mem- COOPERATION OF COUNCIL SOUGHT Civic progress is the objective of newly-elected Mayor Fred Koesel, he stated in his initial talk before the council following his election by unanimous vote Monday evening.

Col. Fowler stated that victory in November depends upon the women voters. Under present conditions, the contest will be economic and financial, not political, and that the republican party has nothing to apologize for. Other nations have gone off the gold standard while the American dollar, with Hoover at the helm of the country, remains the one stable monetary unit in the world, he said. Col. Fowler paid tribute to State Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange, who "is second to none in the senate"; and Assemblyman Ted Craig of Brea. Judge Clark warned that democratic leadership in the White House next year might well lead to lifting of the tariff on citrus fruits, thus hampering development of Orange county. He declared that the present condition can be traced directly to foreign loans made by President Wilson's administration. Rios' Death Is Held Accidental The accident at Anaheim-Olive road and Rio Vista avenue Monday evening in which T. Rios, 43, of Santa Ana was killed, was held accidental and Ray L. Augustus, retired professional baseball player and well known Anaheim rancher, was absolved from all balme. This finding was made Wednesday morning at the inquest held by Coroner Earl R. Abbey at the Backs, Terry & Campbell mortuary. Augustus testified that Rios failed to stop at the boulevard stop, and that he was driving at about 40 miles an hour when the accident occurred. Augustus' car was almost totally wrecked, but he escaped serious injury. Funeral services for Mr. Rios were held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the church of Our Lady Guadalupe in Santa Ana, with burial following at the Santa Ana cemetery. Mr. Rios is survived by a widow and seven children.

College Student Robbers' Victim Lawrence Quille Stops to Aid Pair But Pays $3.50 for the "Experience" Student Lawrence Quille of the Fullerton junior college has one more thrilling episode to chalk up to "old man experience" as a result of his kind-hearted impulse Sunday to help two men who apparently were changing a tire along the side of the road. The experience of having one of the men thrust a gun into his ribs; while the other highwayman extracted a wallet and threw the tire and pump in to the rear end of a machine as the pair drove away, cost Quille exactly $3.50, he reported to Anaheim police. Quille was en route west on Lincoln avenue when he saw the men fixing the tire. That was at 2:10 a.m. Sunday. He secured no adequate description of the robbers. Quille lives at 310 North Emily street, Anaheim. Pomona Mail Carrier Avery E. Brown Saturday evening at 11:30 o'clock was forced to the curb by two bandits in a machine, one remaining in the machine and the other at the point of a gun getting $82 from the victim, according to reports filed with Fullerton police. Brown said he was forced to the curb at Harvard avenue and Brea road. License number of the small coupe was covered with a white cloth.

Cold Gale Wednesday May Damage Blossoms Cold gales sweeping across Anaheim from the ocean Wednesday may have caused damage to fruit blossoms, but that will not be known for several weeks. A little damage was caused by dropping of fruit, and some bruising was expected, but not enough to warrant any fear about serious harm to the crop, according to citrus experts. Here's Chance '32 Republic Something new in folks would declare very it could not be true—proof. Any and every California national committee state, to suggest plank republican national platters.

FRED KOESEL NAMED MAYOR Merritt Presents Resignation But Withdraws It; Will Serve Temporarily Newly-elected Mayor Fred Koesel, after expressing appreciation of himself and other members of the city board of trustees for the co-operative spirit shown by the two retiring members of the council—Ex-Mayor L. E. Miller and Jacob Lakeman—announced that he looked forward to "intelligent cooperation of the board in making Anaheim still better-governed, with the council working at all times for the best interests of the city." Continuing, Mayor Koesel said: "My only objection to other members of the council is that they have 'put one over' on me; I thought I had arranged for somebody else to be mayor, and now I find myself in the chair. Members of the old board enjoyed hearty cooperation of the entire group, and personally, I want to extend my appreciation for the excellent services rendered by the two retiring members. I know from the past record of the two newly-sworn-in councilmen, that we can look forward with confidence to continued cooperation." New Members Sworn In On motion of Councilman M. W. Martenet Jr., Mayor Koesel was unanimously elected by the board of trustees. Will Presidential Electors Bolt Party’s Trust and Vote for Individual Choice? This Possibility Looms As Anti-Hoover Campaigners Attempt to Throw Election of President Into House of Representatives; This Is Remote Possibility, Method Perfectly Legal By CALEB JOHNSON On the Tuesday after the First Monday in November, which this year will fall on November 8th, the qualified voters of the United States will go to their respective polling places and vote for—what? For president and vice-president you'll reply. Nothing of the kind. The next president and vice-president of the United States will not be elected until the second Wednesday in February, 1933. Voters will cast their ballots on November 8th for members of congress, one in each Congressional district of the entire nation. They will vote for United States senators—at least in 32 states there will be senatorial elections. They will vote for members of legislatures and for local officials, but nobody will have the privilege of voting for the president or vice-president. All that anyone of the 72,000,000 qualified voters of the United States can do next November will be to vote for a list of presidential electors for his or her respective state. He can vote for a list of republican electors, or a list of democratic electors, or of socialist labor or prohibitionist or communist or farm-labor, or any other list that may appear on the official ballot. If he wants to he can write a list of names of presidential electors that don't appear on the printed ballot at all.

Martenet Jr., Mayor Koesel was unanimously elected by the board of trustees Monday night, following nomination by Councilman Leo Sheridan. While this procedure was followed, City Clerk Edward B. Merritt acted as temporary chairman. Immediately after convening, the old board canvassed the election of April 11 and declared Charles H. Mann and John H. Cook duly-elected councilmen; Edward Merritt elected city clerk; and Charles Boege elected city treasurer. The council adjourned sien die with new members immediately being sworn in after qualifying. Bombshell Explodes On leaving the official duties as mayor, Mr. Miller said that he had enjoyed the hard work it had entailed, that he appreciated the splendid service of the men on the council, and that his hope was for the continued cooperation of the entire board on things civic. Koesel, after his election to mayor made his initial speech and the new board seemed off to a fair-weather start when suddenly Attorney Leonard Evans arose and threw a bombshell into the meeting when he requested the board take more specific action on behalf of his client, City Clerk Merritt, in guaranteeing the future employment of salaried clerical help. Mayor Koesel, Councilman Sheridan and Martenet immediately assured Attorney Evans and Clerk Merritt that the intention of the council had been to continue the clerk in that office, but the ordinance to which he had objected was passed as the only means of cutting the salary of the clerk. Mr. Merritt, when the council explained its attitude, presented his resignation, stating that ill health forced him to do so, much as he regretted the action, especially since he had but recently been re-elected to office after serving since 1900. The board held a ten-minute recess, after which Merritt withdrew his resignation and decided to remain temporarily. Committees appointed by Mayor Koesel are: Finance, Charles H. Mann, chairman, Martenet and Sheridan. Ordinance: Mann, chairman, Sheridan and Martenet. Public improvements: Leo Sheridan, chairman, Martenet and Cook. Public light and water: M. W. Martenet Jr., chairman, Koesel and Cook. Qualified voters of the United States can do next November will be to vote for a list of presidential electors for his or her respective state. He can vote for a list of republican electors, or a list of democratic electors, or socialist labor or prohibitionist or communist or farm-labor, or any other list that may appear on the official ballot. If he wants to he can write a list of names of presidential electors that don't appear on the printed ballot at all. Any voter who wants to can vote for a mixed ticket including republican electors, democratic electors and so on. But he cannot vote direct for president or vice-president. Might Bolt Party Perhaps that sounds like school-book stuff, that every child who has got as far as the study of the constitution of the United States knows already. But there is a possibility that this year it may not be merely school-book stuff. For that reason, it is interesting to examine the method by which we choose our president and vice-president. In theory, presidential electors are bound to vote for the candidates of their respective parties nominated in the national conventions which are to be held during the coming summer. The list of republican candidates for presidential electors will be headed on the ballot with the names of the nominees of the republican national convention, and so likewise will the democratic list carry the names of the democratic nominees, and so on. And, of course, there is a moral obligation on the part of each presidential elector to vote for the candidate's name at the head of the list on which his name appears. But no elector is under any legal obligation to vote for any presidential or vice-presidential nominee. In theory, the electors are independent and entitled to use their independent individual judgements. In New York state, for example, there are 45 presidential electors to be chosen. It has never happened, but it might happen, that one or two or three or any number of these 45, although elected on one of the party tickets, might decide to vote for the candidates on one of the other tickets, or for an independent candidate. If the democrats, for example, elected their entire list of presidential electors, and 23 of (Continued on Page 8) Parents Urged to Visit School Rooms Parents and other interested persons in Anaheim and vicinity are urged to extensively visit school rooms and school functions next week, when special preparations for school week have been made.

Private Delivering of City Bills is Illegal "While it is possible for the city to deliver the bills by its own employees, it would constitute a violation of the private statutes incorporated in the postal laws and regulations to have the bills delivered by third parties not in the regular employee of the company."

Most folks would declare very positively that it could not be true—but here is the proof. Any and every California voter has been asked by Mark L. Requa, republican national committeeman for this state, to suggest planks for the 1932 republican national platform. “As a member of the sub-committee on planks for the 1932 republican platform, I should be glad to receive any suggestions from the voters of California.” Mr. Requa said in a statement this week. “These suggestions will be forwarded to the national committee for consideration.” Mr. Requa explained that his offer is a “come one, come all” proposition and that every Californian who has one or more ideas on planks the republican convention should incorporate in its platform, to be formulated at the Chicago convention in June, is at liberty to put his or her thoughts on paper and address the envelope to one of the national committeemen’s two offices, Room 245 Rowan building, Los Angeles, or Room 1406 at 111 Sutter street, San Francisco. Suggestions must be made by mail and the envelopes should be marked, “Platform Suggestion.” Private Delivering of City Bills is Illegal While it is possible for the city to deliver the bills by its own employees, it would constitute a violation of the private statutes incorporated in the postal laws and regulations to have the bills delivered by third parties not in the regular employe of the company." This is the opinion of Solicitor Horace J. Donnelly of the postoffice department, Washington, D.C., on the legality of the city paying W.H. Hunt the amount of postage to deliver its bills, following query by Postmaster W.H. Whitaker. City Manager John C. Price requested the opinion from Postmaster Whitaker.

This fact, substantiated again Tuesday and Wednesday when deposits were several times the withdrawals, set state banking officials and bankers generally after first congratulating local officials heartily to inquiring" how so they do it?" Amazement at the unusual strength shown by the bank, which is the first state institution in 40 years to re-open, was expressed Tuesday evening by State Banking Superintendent Edward Rainey, honored guest at a meeting of banks and civic leaders held at the Elks clubhouse. "It is the eternal credit of the men at the head of these banks that they were able to and did meet the severe conditions placed upon them by my department," Mr Rainey stated. "Southern County Park directors did the wise thing when they voted to close, and they picked a smart time to do it after people in several places in Southern California had become unduly panicky.

The numbers to be sung by these versatile singers in the German, as well as in the English language, include some favorite request numbers and some fine works rehearsed especially for presentation on this program. Conductor E. G. Dankworth has varied the selections so as to demonstrate not only the beauty of full toned hozannas of praise, but also the effectiveness of quiet supplication, thereby giving opportunity to demonstrate the beauty of contrast in these compositions by some of the most famous of composers such as Schubert, Bach, Brahms, and Tschalkowski. Conductor Dankworth will be assisted at the organ by Melba Parkes Wendland, and at the piano by Laura Meyer Mueller. Zion Lutheran church offers this concert to the public as a special feature for Sunday night. The services consisting entirely of the music, will start at 7:30 p.m. Little Theaters To Be Discussed Promotion of Movement In Southern California Sought at Conference Promotion of the little theater movement in Southern California, and Orange county in particular, will be the purpose of the sixth annual tournament of one-act plays to be held in Santa Ana April 28-29-30, with Miss Doris Robbins in charge. Miss Constance Cruickshank and Harriet Owens Endler are assisting. Discussions will be held the final day of the conference at the Ebell lounge. Speakers from competing groups will be selected. A dinner will be served Thespians at Ketner's blue room each night of the tourney at 6 o'clock, according to William Spurgeon, Jr., president of the Santa Ana Community Players.

Cummings, Mrs. W. H. Spurgeon, Mrs. Edith Thatcher, Mona Sunnerm Smith and Mrs. Marshall Harnois. The social activities are to be in charge of a committee consisting of bank is and civic leaders held at the Elks clubhouse. "It is to the eternal credit of the men at the head of these banks that they were able to and did meet the severe conditions placed upon them by my department." Mr Rainey stated. "Southern County Park directors did the wise thing when they voted to close, and they picked a smart time to do it after people in several places in Southern California had become unduly panicky. Bank Opened Monday "But it is easy to close a bank, and difficult to reopen. These men have accomplished something bigger and finer than they realize." The bank opened Monday morning without previous notice. Immediately word spread about the city and at once depositors appeared at the windows with money. While the bank, according to Executive Vice President William Schumacher had sample funds to pay off every demand, the money rolled in so fast that it severa times exceeded the demands, and there was no need to use the reserve supply that had been secured. Local business firms, as soon as they were aware of the bank's re-opening, began to send flowers and congratulations. Add Officers, Directors Simultaneously with the bank's re-opening came the announcement of addition of several directors and officers. Officers are: J.W.Phelps, president; William Schumacher, executive vice-president; A.Nagel and F.J.Mountain, vice presidents; H.A.Hawley, cashier; A.W.Phelps, secretary; and G.B.Miller, treasurer. Added to the board of directors are: O.E.Stewart, Anaheim; Robert E.Lodge and H.W.Thienes, El Monte; and W.L.Toomey and Alfred Newmark, Los Angeles. While the bank previously was capitalized at $130,000, it now is capitalized at $170,000, and is declared to be in a much stronger financial position than ever before. In commenting on the substantial nature of the bank's holdings, Superintendent Rainey said: "We found the bonds held by the bank are the best. President W.J.Phelps has proved himself to be an uncanny bond buyer. I want to compliment him on his ability." Mr. Schumacher presided at the dinner Tuesday evening, which was attended and addressed by John McFall, Southern California aide to Mr.Rainey; Herbert D.Ivy, of the Citizens National Bank, Los Angeles; F.C.Bold, of the Reconstruction Finance corporation office in Los Angeles; W.A.Dolan, president of the Anaheim First National bank; H.H.Benjamin of the Anaheim branch, Bank of America; and a score of bankers, publishers and civic leaders of northern Orange county. Expresses Appreciation Demonstrating his confidence in the bank, especially since its auspicious Growers Awaiting Details of Plan Valencia growers in Orange county this week awaited further details on the meagre announcement of the Orange county farm bureau that 90 percent of the orange growers of Southern California had agreed on restricting shipment of oranges this season as a means of combating an unfavorable market. The farm bureau announcement was made Tuesday. Intimations that the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, Mutual Orange Distributors and the independent houses had agreed o na plan whereby better prices might be secured were made, but no definite announcement as to method to be followed were given out. The project appears to be similar to the one several times advanced to Orange county growers by the farm bureau and by university extension authorities. REPORTS GUN STOLEN Anaheim police were notified Tuesday evening by Harold Hamlyn of 304 East Cypress street that a gun in his car had been stolen while the machine was parked in front of his residence.

Benjamin of the Anaheim branch, Bank of America; and a score of bankers, publishers and civic leaders of northern Orange county. Expresses Appreciation Demonstrating his confidence in the bank, especially since its auspicious opening, Mr. Rainey Wednesday ordered $10,000 in state funds deposited here. In announcing this decision, the state official thanked Mr. Dolan and Mr. Benjamin for their assistance. State Highway Commissioner P. A. Stanton, also an honored guest, reiterated his faith in Orange county and again predicted that within the memory of many present Orange county would become a great residential district, with the orange, walnut and lemon groves giving way to attractive homes. Throughout the first part of the week the officers and directors of the bank received hundreds of congratulations from local business firms, and from interested groups outside the county. Mr. Schumacher Wednesday stated: "We owe our re-opening and tremendous success to the confidence and cooperation of our friends and depositors. To them and to the communities which have welcomed our reopening, we wish to express your hearty appreciation." Woman Goes to Jail In Lieu of $200 Fine Mrs. Lois Emerson, 27, of Whittier, was taken to the county jail to serve 100 days sentence when she failed to pay a fine of $200 levied on her Monday morning in Judge Frank Tausch's court as a result of pleading guilty to intoxication and driving while intoxicated. She was arrested early Monday morning by officers who pursued her north along Los Angeles street. The officers stated she was weaving from one side of the road to the other. Two companions were released when a physician's examination failed to show they were intoxicated.
