HALLOWEEN IS BIG ATTRACTION MONDAY NIGHT Thousands of Youngsters From One to 70 Enjoys Big Spooky Spectacle Many thousands of interested spectators from northern Orange county went home Monday evening satisfied that the ninth annual Hallowe’en parade staged by Anaheim was one of the most successful events ever staged here. Merchants went to work Monday morning washing soap marks off their display windows, and car owners drove into gas stations for a little free service on the windshields. Matching the joy of youngsters from one to 70 who delighted in seeing the spooky displays, show windows which recalled the joys of youth in the “good old days,” and the humorous procession of jack o’lanterns and witches, were the winners of prizes. The parade lasted an hour and a half. Floats showed unusual care, costumes that never failed to bring an outright laugh paraded by, the spectacle of spirited horses followed by apparitions of ghosts caused breathless comment. Vincent Furniture company, which won first place for window displays, showed an old barnyard where energetic “kids” had enjoyed dumping over barrels of old horseshoes, a rusty barnyard grinding stone and frame, and throwing in for good measure some New Market To Open Saturday $25,000 Independent Group Occupies Big Store On East Center Greater Anaheim Market, a $25,000 group which rates as one of the largest independent markets in Orange county, opens at 7 o'clock Saturday morning; at 225-29 East Center street.

AHEIM GAZETE ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1932 (An Editorial) LET US BE HONEST WITH OURSELVES Next Tuesday we face the most momentous question of this generation. That little cross we stamp for electors pledged either to Herbert Hoover or Franklin Roosevelt marks our final decision on who we want as president of these United States. The privilege of casting as free men our vote for the person we wish to guide our ship of state through the next four years is the most sacred right of our republic. Further, it is a sacred trust imposed upon us individually. We must prove ourselves worthy of that trust when we sit in judgment on the selection of leaders whose theories of government will affect our immediate welfare and exert an indirect influence upon the lives of our children. We cannot afford, when making our choice, to garble fundamental issues at stake in this presidential campaign. We must see through political blather raised by both sides if our choice for president is the wise one. Much as our feelings, flamed by the mad fires of depression, call for a change; much as we revolt against certain inequities, we are duty bound to do the sensible and not the impetuous thing. Above all, we must be honest with ourselves. With this fair basis as a starting point, we calmly and impartially studied issues arising in this campaign. If ever we needed a leader with intellectual vigor, a president whose grasp of national and world-wide problems is based upon facts and not upon impressions, an executive whose understanding of the American principle of government assures us continuance of this principle, now is the time. We have studied the issues thoroughly. We have listened to the speeches of both candidates for president. We have weighed the charges of Roosevelt against Hoover’s administration, pondered over the actions of the democratic house under the leadership of the democratic vice-presidential candidate, and we have found nothing new stimulating. Against this we balanced what With this fair basis as a starting point, we calmly and impartially studied issues arising in this campaign. If ever we needed a leader with intellectual vigor, a president whose grasp of national and world-wide problems is based upon facts and not upon impressions, an executive whose understanding of the American principle of government assures us continuance of this principle, now is the time. We have studied the issues thoroughly. We have listened to the speeches of both candidates for president. We have weighed the charges of Roosevelt against Hoover’s administration, pondered over the actions of the democratic house under the leadership of the democratic vice-presidential candidate, and we have found nothing very stimulating. Against this we balanced what Hoover as president has accomplished, studied his proposals for recovery which by their own soundness finally forced the democratic house to pass them and found there a mental vigor and ability to accomplish great things in time of stress that commands our admiration. The marked contrast of President Hoover’s speeches, which show a profound knowledge based upon facts and appreciation of the American principle of government, with the “false gold” promises and typical politician’s “say nothing” speeches of Roosevelt, forces us to the same conclusion as ex-President Calvin Coolidge when, speaking of Herbert Hoover, he said: “The only leadership in this crisis worthy of the name has come from him. He deserves re-election for what he has done and for what he has prevented.” We recommend that you vote for Hoover next Tuesday. Labor Camp Will Open Here Soon Transients who depend for life’s necessities upon the breadlines of cities will get shelter, and food in the state labor camp to be established just this side of the Riverside county line under the direction of Forest Ranger Joe Scherman. The camp will be opened shortly, according to plans announced Tuesday, and will accommodate about 100 men. The Orange county camp is one of 20 in Southern California, planned under the program of Governor James Rolph to relieve the unemployed. A total of 43 camps, 23 of which will be in Northern California, are planned within the state. A total of 7,000 men thus will be cared for at an estimated cost of $400,000. The men will work on fire trails, state highways, relieving fire hazards between Santa Ana canyon and Sierra Peak. Six Governors Back President Hoover Five former governors and the present governor of California this week were on record favoring the re-election of Herbert Hoover as president of the United States. Governor James Rolph Jr., early was out for the president, while Ex-Governors C. C. Young, Friend W. Richardson, Stevens, Gillette, and George C. Pardee are strongly backing California’s leading citizen for the chief executive of the United States. Buena Park Man Is Sentenced to Jail When C. W. Wahl, 45, of 86 Court street, Buena Park, pled guilty to a charge of reckless driving on Santa Ana boulevard, Justice K. E. Morrison of Santa Ana sentenced the driver to 90 days in the county jail. Saves Taxpayers Nearly 2 Millions Schumacher’s Wise Stand On 3 Projects Saves $1,950,000 In County Taxes Unable to gain third district control while William Schumacher was in office, outside politicians made a noisy attempt to defeat him in the 1928 campaign. The source of the attack against him was revealed by Tom McFadden. Anaheim attorney, who said that a Santa Ana group was seeking to dominate the board of supervisors so it could control the money rightfully belonging to the third district. Through rigid economies, the supervisors had built up a considerable surplus. Pouncing upon this balance, the opposition, aided by the Santa Ana Register, dangled before the voters the suggestion of sweeping tax reductions—even before the next year’s budget had been completed. Schumacher declined to seek political advantage by making any such chimerical promises. It was well known that he stood for tax cuts whenever and wherever possible. In September, 1928, the county rate was cut 10 cents. The opposition’s political maneuvers failed to impress the voters. Outside interference received a stinging rebuke at the primary election. Schumacher was retained without the necessity of a runoff in November. He received 4,054 ballots. D. S. Lineberger, of Fullerton, got 2,690, while William Kennedy, of Stanton, polled 804. Saves Taxpayers $700,000 In his present term, Schumacher has carried out projects destined to save the taxpayers nearly $700,000 over a period of years. Wide recognition of (Continued on back page) For Your Profit, Mr. Grower Study this comparison of tariff rates on Orange County Products Under Democratic and Republican Laws. For Your Profit, Mr. Grower Study this comparison of tariff rates on Orange County Products Under Democratic and Republican Laws. President Herbert Hoover staunchly supports the protective tariff, especially the Hawley-Smoot law which is devoted chiefly to rates on farm products. Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt, however, says he backs his party platform which calls for a competitive tariff. The last competitive tariff, and the one to which the Democrats refer now, is the Underwood law, passed to raise revenue. Study these tariffs. Consider that Spain, Sicily and Palestine under free trade could and their oranges and lemons in New York and sell them at a profit to themselves cheaper than we can ship them from Orange county to New York. The Hawley-Smoot tariff allows us to sell our own fruit in our own country. Even under depressed business conditions where the grower only nets 25 cents to the box, that is better than nothing, which would be the case could foreign counties ship their fruit into our markets where the difference of 37 per cent on foreign exchange would give them a profit. Beef on this side of the Mexican line is worth five cents a pound on the hoof, on the other side it is worth two cents. Why? Read the following list of Orange county products, study the comparative rates and you will vote to retain the republican protective tariff. Commodity Citrus and Other Fruits.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE SWINGS INTO HOME STRETCH; LOCAL CAMPAIGN DEMAND ATTENTION OF ELECTORATE President Hoover Heads Homeward On Eve of National Election Tuesday; Plans Three Major Addresses and Score of Appearances; Bill Schumacher Favored to Win The 1932 presidential marathon swung into the home stretch this week, while literally hundreds of lesser state and county campaigns throughout the nation, spurred by the feverish excitement of the major race, hurdled all measures of restraint and stamped voters in every camp. President Herbert Hoover Thursday headed west for at least three major addresses and a score of minor appearances in doubtful states. He was expected to order his private car linked to one of the fast specials to the Pacific coast so that he and Mrs. Hoover could cast their republican votes at Palo Alto Tuesday afternoon. Democratic Candidate Franklin D. Roosevelt Tuesday wound up a short tour of the New England states, and immediately prepared to attend nightly rallies in Gotham. Hoover Chances Improve In the meantime workers for both major paries in frenzied haste harassed the voter on every hand. Here in Orange county the candidates for United States senator, state senator, assemblyman, congressman from the nineteenth district and supervisors, and proponents and opponents of the 20 initiative and referendum measures on the ballot, pressed their claims upon local voters. Keen political observers early this week noted a distinct and encouraging change toward Hoover for president. AGED STANTON MEXICAN DIES ON SCHOOL LOT Autopsy Surgeons Decide Death Natural; Funeral Plans Delayed Auastacio Velesquez, 70-year-old Mexican resident of Stanton, strolled into the school yard of the Stanton school at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Twilla Reed, principal of the school, looked out the window and saw him slump to the ground, dead. She hurried a telephone call to Anaheim.

Keen political observers early this week noted a distinct and encouraging change toward Hoover for president. Many qualms as to who would win the U.S. senatorship were felt in every camp, while for state senator from Orange county Nelson T. Edwards, incumbent, seemed to have the field almost to himself. District Attorney Sam Collins, republican candidate for congress, also appeared to be on the road to election, as did Edward (Ted) Craig, assemblyman from Brea, who is out for re-election. Flood of Oratory In the third supervisorial district one of the hottest races in years was underway with Incumbent William (Bill) Schumacher looming as the victor, although Candidate LeRoy Lyon was campaigning furiously and claiming the election before the votes are counted. Through newspapers, by mail, radio, campaign rallies and blatant sound trucks the flood of literature and oratory this week stemmed the tide of normal communication and developed into a hectic clamor for the voters' attention. Monday evening the republican national committee has both national radio hook-ups tied up until 11 o'clock. Following till midnight will be a democratic eleventh-hour appeal for votes. And Tuesday the major question of the last year—who will be the next president of the United States—will be answered by the votes of 27 million citizens. 44 Friendly Indians Attend Big Pow-wow Lads Lead Parade at Redlands; Watch Resuscitation Demonstration Forty-four Anaheim boys Saturday led the parade, following immediately after the band, in the third annual Y.

Mrs. Twilla Reed, principal of the school, looked out the window and saw him slump to the ground, dead. She hurried a telephone call to Anaheim police who in turn notified the sheriff's office that a dead man was on the Stanton school grounds. Deputy sheriffs took careful note of all surroundings and all possessions of the man. They picked up the body and took it to he S. F. Hilgenfeld funeral parlor in Anaheim, where autopsy surgeons who examined the body Wednesday morning declared the aged man had died of natural causes. Funeral arrangements were delayed while officers for two days made fruitless efforts to locate relatives of the dead man. R. Von Eckertsberg Puts up $15,000 Bail Out on $15,000 bail following his arraignment Wednesday before Justice Morrison of Santa Ana, Roiph Von Eckertsberg, 28, of Glendsal, will return November 10 at 9 a.m. to answer preliminary charges of manslaughter preferred against him as a result of the death of three young Orange residents in an automobile accident two weeks ago. Trial for Arthur Manas, 40 of Santa Ana, who pleaded not guilty to charges of obstructing an officer when brought before Justice A. W. Swayze of Orange Wednesday of last week, was scheduled to face trial Thursday. He was accused of aiding Von Eckertsberg leave the scene of the crime.

L. Eltiste and company's store and the Alpha Beta store, where entrance was gained by entering the skylight. No information of value was obtained by police in search for thieves who took the car. Also, no clues as to the identity of the persons taking the new sport coupe from Keirsey's place two weeks ago were found.

Merriam of Long Beach, speaking at a joint meeting of the Huntington Beach and Laguna Beach Rotary clubs recently, paid a high tribute to Senator Nelson T. Edwards of Orange. Merriam declared that Edwards was known at Sacramento for his integrity, his ability to get things done, his insistence on economy in government expenses as the only method of reducing taxes, for his work on the morals committee, and various other issues of primary concern to the people of this county. "I do not know how the people of Orange county could find better representation in the state senate," Merriam declared. "I am sure that I should like to see him returned there." 280 Motorists Get Headlights Fixed During the past week 280 motorists given non-arrest cards as a result of driving with defective headlights appeared before adjustment stations for adjustment of their machines, and mailing of the cards to the highway patrol. This procedure must be followed within five days. Patrolmen Saturday and Sunday evening examined hundreds of automobiles and found that approximately one car out of five had defective headlights. The tests were conducted on Santa Ana boulevard. Mrs. J. L. Vrow of 238 South Redwood street, Brea, reported to police that her automobile was stolen from near Clementine and Cypress streets during the parade Monday evening.
