Note to Legionnaire's wives... It's o'keydoke... I was just assigned by Earl Fulfer to go to Hollywood next week and keep those good looking damsels away from hubby... Earl says the best recommendation he can think of for me is that I'm homely enough to be passed up by the good-looking ones and old enough to be sidestepped by the young one and under the circumstances egoistical enough to spoil it for the rest of them and almost honest enough to tell the truth about what I see... so... anyway, I'm going... Understand that Fred Sidebottom is planning on attending too... funny how these county politicians can't pass up a real gathering. And speaking of politics... there's no use in losing time worrying about who's going to be elected... when you look at the newspapers following the election and convention you'll find that Tom Riordan of San Francisco will be the new commander and Jimmy Fisk will go right on being adjutant... You know after a fellow has a job for 12 years at a good salary... well, he kinda hates to give it up... and coming further down the line... well ANAHI VOL.

Democratic Meeting Here Tuesday Addressed By Numerous Candidates Anaheim Democrats fired the first real barrage in their campaign to re-elect President Roosevelt and candidates for congress and the state legislature when upwards of 200 persons gathered last Tuesday night at the invitation of the Anaheim "On With Roosevelt Club" at the Knights of Pythias hall. President Stephen Gallagher presided. Congressional candidates expounded their views on national legislation, and state senate and assembly candidates attempted to qualify their candidacies by declaring their purposes in seeking the offices to which they aspire. After several numbers by "The Mountaineers," a governmentally sponsored orchestra, Chairman Gallagher introduced Harry Shepard of Ucaipa, Townsend endorsed candidate for congress who read his platform and elaborated on several features of it. Ray Adkinson of Santa Ana followed with an explanation of his program. He dwelt on his familiarity with the problems of the 19th congressional district due to his lifelong residence, and he pledged his support to those things vital to the district's welfare, especial water conservation. Adkinson pledged his support to President Roosevelt and declared himself in favor of adequate old age security, but opposed to the mechanics of the Townsend plan because, he stated, he believed it was not practical. In theory he supported the plan. Joe Seymour, fire-eating attorney from Riverside, bitterly assailed what he termed the deception of leaders of the Townsend movement. He declared he was one of the supporters of the original Townsend plan and a member of a Riverside club, but he questioned Candidate Sheppard's democracy and loyalty to President Roosevelt, which he asserted is paramount to the election of any candidate for office. Harold Thoreson of San Bernardino explained the four points in his platform—Conservation of natural resources, especially water which he declared the life-blood of the 19th district; nationalization of munition and armament planth to prevent future wars for profits; the right of labor to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing; and a complete program of unemployment relief and old age security.
