Kuchel candidate for State Senator. He is well and favorably known and his legislative record is so outstanding that it is to the interest not only of Orange county but the whole state that he be elected. The candidate for the Assembly in the 74th district, Clyde Watson also has an excellent record. His effort in the economy bloc in opposition to the campaign of Governor Olson for crack-pot schemes should cause him to receive a large majority vote. From the north end of the county, the 75th Assembly District, comes a name new to us in this district, that of Thomas K. Gowen.

His effort in the economy bloc in opposition to the campaign of Governor Olson for crack-pot schemes should cause him to receive a large majority vote. From the north end of the county, the 75th Assembly District, comes a name new to us in this district, that of Thomas K. Gowen. Our readers will be interested to know more of this outstanding resident of that area. Mr. Gowen has had a wide and interesting business experience. For the past 23 years he has been a resident of the City of Fullerton. He is the owner of extensive property at Fullerton and an orange grower. For the past 16 years he has operated a successful business. Interested always in young people, he has for the past 10 years been California's representative on the Board of Trustees of the John Brown University, which Board has as its Chairman the Hon. Jesse Jones, head of R. F. C., who served in this capacity for the past 20 years. It is evidence of Mr. Gowen's capacity, that the university board, composed of a number of distinguished men of national reputation, should have selected him to become national chairman of public relations for the University. This position of responsibility he has occupied for the past two years. In addition, he is superintendent and manager of two California institutions affiliated with the university, Brown Military Academy (formerly San Diego Army and Navy Academy) at Pacific Beach, and the Glendora School for Girls. Certainly the responsibilities which a great university has confided to Mr. Gowen indicate that he is entitled to the confidence of Orange county voters. He has had eight years of legislative and governmental experience as City Trustee of Fullerton and as Mayor. One cannot help but conclude that we are fortunate to find a man of these capacities able and willing to serve his state during these crucial times. And the larger the majority the more it will tend to encourage other capable men to be willing to be candidates for important legislative offices.
