Slaback Grossly Slandered With all of the ladies present except the solicitor herself declaring or ready to declare that he had not called the solicitor a "liar" as asserted in an Anaheim newspaper, City Councilman A. A. Slaback today was attempting suit for libel against the publication in question following a scurrilous story of last evening. Early Mrs. Julia A. Hickerson of Me East Adele and Mrs. J. M. Casey of 312 East Adele-st., denied that Slaback had said the woman caller was a liar, and Mrs. Casey declared that her daughter, Mrs. F. B. Morley, of North Vine street, and mother, Mrs. R. H. Seale, both of whom heard the conversation, would confirm her statement. Mrs. Hickerson and Mrs. Casey both confirmed Slaback's statement of what occurred, which is published below, after hearing the statement read to them, except that Mrs. Casey didn't remember mention of the $10 per day fee. City Manager J. W Price, when asked whether he, as alleged by the solicitor, had been one of those who sent her on her rounds, said: "What do you think I am? The idea is preposterous." The woman had said the "city manager" was one of those who sent her. Slaback's statement follows: "I While I was engaged in deering groceries yesterday after I stopped at 305 East Adele-A woman solicitor had been there and had then gone over to the second house east. While she was there one of the ladies called me. By the talk I surmised there was trouble between the ladies there." "The lady residing there, as I was getting into my car to go away, asked me to come over." "I went over and found a lady on the porch, talking in an irritating manner to three other ladies. She told me she was taking a census of the City of Anaheim from the City Hall." "I asked her who had sent her from the City Hall." "At first she refused to tell. Then I asked her what her name was. She refused to give that either. I said: 'Isn't your name Johnson?'

S Teeter, living near Buena Park, was badly injured, and his son, a young man in the 20s, less seriously hurt, last night about 30, when the Ford coupe in which they were driving crashed into the rear of a large truck standing with one of the rear wheels on the pavement on the Long Beach blvd. near Cypress. The accident is said to have been due to a heavy fog which made it impossible to see more than a few feet ansea. Teeter was taken to the Artesia hospital where it was found that he had been badly cut about the face and nose, and had suffered a fracture of the femur bone and other injuries. His son was also cut about the face, but was not considered seriously enough hurt to be entered at the hospital. The elder Teeter will recover, it is said. L. B. Stump, Anaheim policeman, went to the scene of the accident. Mr. Teeter also received a fractured left leg, lacerations all over the body and possible internal injury. NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—The course of the nation's legislative future in the 69th congress was at stake today in the battle of the polls between the forces of conservatism and liberalism for control of the next U.S. Senate. With 32 seats under contest—Sen. Fernald, Rep. of Maine, having been re-elected in Sept., there was a possibility that the results would overthrow the balance of power held for the last two years by the La Follette insurgent bloc. This phase of the senatorial election overshadowed the fight for "paper" majorities between the Republican and Democratic organizations. To end La Follette's domination, the Republicans, however, would have to elect at least 20 of their organization candidates while the Democrats, to swing their party into undisputed control, would have to carry at least 23 contested seats. Due to the seeming impossibility of a landslide victory of such proportions for either old party, indications pointed to a continuance of La Follette's control in the next senate. Supporters of All Three Presidential Nominees Sanguine of Success NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—With fair weather reported in all parts of the country, American voters in numbers never before equalled are making their quadrennial march to the polls today. Upon the verdict they render there depends the character of the national government for four years, depends the local governments in 33 states, the complexion of congress—and perhaps may depend the course of world history. At fewest 30,000,000 voters will have registered their preference before the polls close tonight, according to the estimates of all party managers, and they would not be surprised if the total reaches 35,000,000. Either figure will establish a new high record in popular suffrage, not only in the United States, but in the world. The leaders of all parties found satisfaction in the fair weather reports from the country. "The larger the vote the more decisive the victory," said Wm. M. Butler, generalissimo of the Coolidge forces. "Fair weather will bring out the great silent vote which can be depended upon to elect John W. Davis," said the Democratic managers. And— "Fair weather will allow the farmers and the people in remote rural sections of the west to get to the polls, and that spells Progressive triumph," declared the La Follette-Independent leaders. President Coolidge, John W. Davis and political lesser lights everywhere Joined in a common appeal to the American citizen to vote. "Vote anyway you please, but vote." It was almost but not quite non-partisan. In his closing message to the American electorate conveyed by radio to millions of unseen listeners, President Coolidge made a veiled thrust at the La Follette-Independents by alluding to them as "an element of discontent, an element inspired with more zeal than knowledge." Only a few moments before, the president had listened to his chief rival, John W. Davis, speaking to this same invisible audience, appeal to the "moral sense of the American people" to rise up to the ballot boxes today and vote out of power an administration "streaked with corruption." "God defend the right," was the fervent and final plea that Davis left with the voters. There was no last minute or hospital where it was found that he had been badly cut about the face and nose, and had suffered a fracture of the femur bone and other injuries. His son was also cut about the face, but was not considered seriously enough hurt to be entered at the hospital. The elder Teeter will recover, it is said. L. B. Stump, Anaheim policeman, went to the scene of the accident. Mr. Teeter also received a fractured left leg, lacerations all over the body and possible internal injuries. His son, Ronald, received several fractured ribs and other injuries. The Teeters say that the trailer on the truck had no lights. Police who investigated found lambers which was so madly mashed up they were unable to say whether it had been burning. Bill Huhn of Cypress was driving the truck, and had left it to go over to the home of N. O. Stewart nearby. The Ford Coupe was so badlyrecked that it is said to be behind repair. OLINDA MAN HELD ON GIRL'S CHARGE B. A. Smith, 22, of Olinda, arraigned this morning in Judge Hart's court in La Habra on a serious charge involving an Anaheim girl, was bound over to the superior court on ball of $5000.

To end La Follette's domination, the Republicans, however, would have to elect at least 20 of their organization candidates while the Democrats, to swing their party into undisputed control, would have to carry at least 23 contested seats. Due to the seeming impossibility of such proportions pointed to a continuance of La Follette's control in the next senate—even tho his domination may not be as strong as in the present congress. Spokesmen for both the old parties issued statements claiming a complete victory in today's election. For the Republicans, Sen. Geo. H. Moses, chairman of the senatorial committee, predicted a sweeping victory for his party's candidates. He pointed out, however, that to win control, the Republicans would have to get every Democratic nominee in the north, east and the border states. For the Democrats, Sen. Key Pittman, one of the Davis campaign managers, forecast a Democratic senate. He declared the Democrats would win 24 of the contested seats, re-elect all their own members and defeating incumbent Republicans in nine other states. Of the 32 seats at stake, 16 have been held in the present senate by Republican, 15 by Democrats and one by Magnus Johnson, the Farmer-Laborite of Minnesota. This has left the Republicans with 34 hold-over senators, including Fernald, the Democrats with 28 hold-over members and one Farmer-Laborite, Sen. Shipstead of Minneota. In today's election, nine Democratic candidates are in states of the solid south.
