ANAHEIM GAZETTE Established 1870 Orange County's Oldest Newspaper HENRY KUCHEL, Editor and Publisher 1887-1935 The Anaheim Gazette has been owned and edited by the same family since 1875. Published every Thursday at 259 East Center Street, Anaheim, Calif. MRS. HENRY KUCHEL — THEODORE B. KUCHEL Editors and Publishers AS TO THE LEGISLATURE When a member of a family which is engaged in the newspaper business enters into politics, a question of policy presents itself. Columns should not for him, any more than for any one else, be opened up with complete abandon in any effort to further his candidacy. Yet neither, in an overly zealous effort to continue the balance of fairness, should his name, nor any newsworthy comment concerning him, be denied a place in print. Behind the candidacy, for the state assembly, of Thomas H. Kuchel who is a member of the family which owns and publishes the Anaheim Gazette, is the kindly story of local friends who have been interested in a boy, native son of a native son, grown to manhood, and established in the place of his birth as a practicing lawyer. It was over four months ago when a local minister of the gospel, hearing rumors that Assemblyman Ted Craig contemplated retiring from his position, first suggested that Kuchel become a candidate for the position. There was a need, in his words, "to have, in Sacramento, vigor and sincerity in our representative." Here and there, as days went by, others who heard the suggestion, voiced their own approval of it, and passed the word along. A past member of the Assembly from Orange County, Mr. S. C. Hartranft, generously stated his belief that Mr. Kuchel would bring credit to his home county if he were to become a member of the lower house of the state legislature. Election to the assembly is not a popularity contest; it entails a tremendous amount of work, hard work. The gov- Kuchel become a candidate for the position. There was a need, in his words, "to have, in Sacramento, vigor and sincerity in our representative." Here and there, as days went by, others who heard the suggestion, voiced their own approval of it, and passed the word along. A past member of the Assembly from Orange County, Mr. S. C. Hartranft, generously stated his belief that Mr. Kuchel would bring credit to his home county if he were to become a member of the lower house of the state legislature. Election to the assembly is not a popularity contest; it entails a tremendous amount of work, hard work. The government of California, and the best welfare of its people, demand that the state legislators be schooled in law, and cognizant of the effects which proposed legislation would have upon the state. Work in the state capital requires sane, sincere and sober thought, both upon questions of fundamental policy and upon particular pieces of legislation as each reaches the senate and assembly chambers. And the best interests of all should include some ability of expression upon the part of the person who will represent this 75th district in Sacramento next January. And, fundamentally, the next assemblyman must be honest and sincere—an example of clean manhood all down the line. Nearly four score years ago, Mr. Kuchel's grandfather together with a group of plain pioneers, came into this home in the valley of the Santa Ana river and fashioned Anaheim. His father, on attaining young manhood, took over the Gazette, and piloted it, fearlessly and without favor, for an almost half-century. The problems, the needs, the best welfare of this district are known to the candidate, almost as much by heredity as by environment. It is but natural that this newspaper advocates the candidacy of Thomas Kuchel for the assembly—a non-partisan office but appearing upon the ballot as a partisan one. And the endorsement is given, in the belief that Thomas Kuchel has the qualifications to enter the field of public service. A typical American is one who makes money at his own trade and loses it monkeying with something else. A lot of fellows are in favor of free speech only when it is their speech. Soviet Russia prepares to restrict her imports further in order to build up Russian industries. Some good international ought to raise merry Hull about this. Someone writes to ask what has become of the mid-Western tree belt that the New Dealers were going to build. It has been placed in quoddy. America represents more than 50 per cent of the purchasing power of the world, and that is the market Secretary Hull desires to open to alien farmers.

If there is any more, ve send radio to Sweden, ve will notify our government, ve will ask to be protected, ve will demand aeroplanes, submarines—battleships!" "Battleships!

"I suggest that you do so as soon as possibile," he replied coldly. "Bad news, eh?" asked Mandini quietly when they were alone. "Yes," she answered dispiritedly, ready to cry. "Show a little royal blood, will you then," he said sharply. "They haven't counted you out yet. Pull yourself together—I've got an idea." "What is it?" Her face brightened hopefully. "Well, you know that I and my band are invited to play in the ship's concert tonight. I'm going to notify the captain and the detectives that as soon as the show is over I will reveal the name of the murderer." "Really," she gasped, gripping his sleeve. "Tell me how you found out." "I haven't found out," he grinned. CHAPTER VIII Captain and the four re-lying detectives were having a runaway murderer, Merwho is a passenger on the under the name of Petroff.

"I assure you it won't be necessary. I will personally guarantee that you will not be subjected to more indignities." "Very vell, ve trust you." The Princess melted as she realized that she was putting it over on the group. "Ve are only a weak woman—but ve are not afraid. Truth crushed to the earth shall rise again." With a regal gesture, arm extended, palm pointed downward, not upward as in pleading, she swept from the room. "What a woman!" whispered Morevitch admiringly. "A blonde tiger cat." "This Merko—suppose he is a woman?" Kawati dropped a bombshell in the little group. Flushed with her triumph, the Princess went on deck and found King leaning disconsolately against the rail. "Mr. Mandini; hello," she called lightly. "I'm beginning to get on to your system," he replied ungraceously. "It's just every other time we meet that you don't speak to me." "Ve are happy because it is a beautiful day. Therefore ve speak," she teased him. "The ocean is smooth—the sun shines . . . ... And we are suspected of murder," he finished. "But no!" she laughed. "I am not suspected. The captain says so." Here she was interrupted by the Captain himself, who hurried up, a radiogram in his hand, and his brow furrowed with worry. "Your Highness," he stammered, "I don't know how to express my regret. I have just received this message from the owners of the line." He handed the message to the Princess. "I must proceed at once with the investigation." Steindorf said he knew, didn't see? "And then he was killed." Her face paled. "He was out of luck. All I've got to do is to stay alive—and then tell 'em who tried to kill me. A inch." "But why are you doing this?" she asked softly. "Save both of us a lot of trouble, won't it?" "I see. Please believe, we appreciate what you haf done for us. You haf been very gallant, and ve will nevair forget." "That's fine." He eyed her coolly. For a long moment she looked back at him. Then she burst out with great sincerity: "No, it isn't, King. I can't go on with it. I can't let you put yourself on the spot, thinking you're doing it for a fairy princess. I'm no princess, really." "Go on." His voice was casual but he turned toward her with interest. "I come from South Brooklyn," she continued quietly. "Chorus, vaudeville, cheap night clubs. Looking for a break and never getting it. I met Gertie in a boarding house in London. There we were—a has-been and a never-waser. We read in the paper about Hollywood scout who'd come over looking for titles. Well," she shrugged her slim shoulders. "My parents were Swedish. So—we fooled everybody." "Okay, Wanda," King grinned admiringly. "What did you say?" She whirled on him. "I said, Okay Wanda. It's inside your ring." He produced the emerald and held it out to her. Farm recovery—the story of California agriculture on "the road back" to better days and a re-vitalized industry—will be the keynote of California's 1936 State Fair, to be held at Sacramento, September 5-14. And California farmers, with new confidence and new hopes for the future, will pack the big exhibition with the material evidence of agriculture's bid for rehabilitation and a sound, profitable industry. Nearly $2,000,000 worth of prize livestock, the finest and most comprehensive livestock exhibit in the history of the exposition, will be displayed at the 1936 Fair, according to Fred H. Bixby of Long Beach, livestock chairman of the big show. The county exhibits of California's banner farm counties will feature the choice agricultural and horticultural products of each area—high quality commodities which have made California agriculture famous in markets throughout the world. And to add zest to competition at the big show, Secretary Charles W. Paine announces that more than $145,000 has been hung up in purses, prizes, awards and trophies, a considerable increase in prize money. "Essentially, the California State Fair is a farm exposition," it is pointed out by A. B. Miller, president of the fair board, "but agriculture and education go hand in hand. At a time such as this, when our people, in every walk of life, are fighting for a new foothold and new security, the pageant of California development and its successful bid agriculture—its progress and defense recognition in all the markets of the world—is of inestimable value in building confidence and faith in California." The farmer interested in the latest innovations in modern-day farm machinery and equipment will find the most extensive display of this type in recent years, according to W. A. Kennedy of Pomona, chairman of the machinery and manufacturer's division. Much new machinery which was held back during the depression years, due to the reduced purchasing power of the farmer and consequent lack of demand, will go on the market for the first time this year, Kennedy said, and will have its first California showing at the fair. Talking pictures will be used in the farm machinery building to demonstrate every phase of tractor and machinery improvements. And to add novelty to the farm display, a draft team pulling contest will be held daily at the big exposition — with a new type of "dynamometer," scientifically measuring the pulling strength of the various teams. Meetings of many of the major farm organizations, including the Farm Bureau, the Grange, 4-H Clubs and Future Farmers, will be held here. Hollywood scout who come ever looking for titles.

"I said, Okay Wanda. It's inside your ring." He produced the emerald and held it out to her. I told you it was practically in my pocket." "Why didn't you say something about it?" "I wanted you to tell me yourself," he answered gravely. "I'm not going to let you take his risk for me," she cried. "I'm ... I'm going to the Captain! I'll tell him everything!"

With fair officials predicting an attendance of more than half a million—50,000 more than last year's attendance and an all-time record—California's big exposition promises to compete with Illinois and Texas this year for the honor of being "the biggest show in the United States."
