YES (Mark your ballot "NO") NO Candidate to succeed Metcalf. Louis E. Miller (Do not put cross here) Shall KNIPE be recalled? YES TO PROVE CHARGE Evangelist Responds In No Uncertain Terms to Well Worn Slanders Taking up circumstantially the Alexander, Strasser, Gordon and Boulder, Colo., charges published in last evening's U.S.A. club organ, Dr. E. J.' Bulgin, the evangelist, today made answer in no uncertain terms to these well-worn slanders. Commenting on that "newspaper" remarks that he had been driven out of several towns, the evangelist offers $1000 to the paper to prove that "he was ever driven out of any town on earth." "I have always stayed longer when a fight was going on than the time limit and hope to do so here." "I would like to know the motive behind all this," the preacher added. M. M. Alexander, the "prominent attorney of Orkneygee, Okra," whose telegram or alleged telegram was published last evening, is the former judge who, as the evangelist told the vast throng assembled at last night's meeting in the tent tabernacle, Dr. Bulgin caused to be removed from the bench "on a true bill of 28 counts." Dr. Bulgin said: "These booze bums and their colleagues are hunting hard for something to get the eyes of the community off the real issue. A good lawyer would call this 'suit and avoidance'." (bringing counter-suit as a defence). Some time before Dr. Butgm had come to Okmulgee for a revival, Alexander had purchased an Indian girl, a minor, for $7000 still lands which he knew to be worth at least $40,000 and which Alexander later sold for $200,000. The big oil man who was the purchaser then started for Pennsylvania. On the way he was overtaken by Alexander, who demanded as a sort of additional rakeoff which he thought his due a free trip to the east with him. The oil man told him what he thought of him and at once interrupted his trip, returned and told Dr. Bulgin the facts. Alexander's cellar was searched and 148 bottles of wine and a barrel of beer, which had been a Christmas gift of the Anheuser-Busch Co. of St. Louis found. SHALL METCALF be recalled?

HARRY L. TURTON (Mark your ballot with cross.) MARKET CONTROLS OPENING OF SEASON It is impossible to set any date for the beginning of shipment of miscellaneous varieties of oranges, Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n remarked today. Neither can opening prices be predicted. Both matters depend upon the state of the market. It is unlikely, however, that resumption of shipment will be postponed to as late a date as usual, for navels and other varieties have been as much as a month ahead of schedule in maturity. Sandilands also is firm in the belief that prices will more than make up for a smaller crop in the Anaheim district, because of the much greater damage elsewhere. The WIFE HURT; AUTO GONE, AFTER CRA An auto accident proved dtrous for James Crittion of heim, according to its report file at the sheriff's office, for Crittion was injured in the c which occurred near Seal K yesterday, and someone has t the accident car. The machine disappeared he took his wife to a physician Deputies are of the opinion some zealous mechanic had ru to the scene, and declared a s of the garages nearby prowould result in its recovery. The report did not state th tent of Mrs. Crittion's injury. MOROS FIGHT WITH OFFICE MANILA, Jan. 27.-The h rattle of the Moro drum e The big oil man who was the purchaser then started for Pennsylvania. On the way he was overtaken by Alexander, who demanded as a sort of additional rakeoff which he thought his due a free trip to the east with him. The oil man told him what he thought of him and at once interrupted his trip, returned and told Dr. Bulgin the facts. Alexander's cellar was searched and 148 bottles of wine and a barrel of beer, which had been a Christmas gift of the Anheuser-Busch Co. of St. Louis, found. The barrel of beer gift later was repeated when Alexander's birthday came around. Further investigation revealed that Alexander as judge had shelved 132 booze cases. On the basis of this and other evidence Alexander was put off the bench on 28 charges, as already announced. The former judge has "had it in" for Dr. Bulgin ever since. He pops up every so often to do the evangelist a bad turn. If he can, for example, he followed Dr. Bulgin to a revival at Little Rock, Ark., and there had the indecency to charge that the preacher was making nightgowns for a harlot. The booze paper of Little Rock published the story with screaming headlines. "I never came so near shooting a man in my life," the evangelist confessed today. The fact of the matter was that Mrs. Bulgin lay in a sick bed at Long Beach and the gowns were being made by a woman member of the evangelistic party for Mrs. Bulgin's use. Now the Gordon case. The U.S.A. club organ tells of a slander suit for $200,000 brought by Col. Robert D. Gordon, World war veteran. Of this man, Dr. Bulgin said: "Gordon is a German Jew, who got a little popularity in the war and became a colonel. He failed three times in Eastland, Texas, in the clothing business, and each time it was reported that his friends had entered the store by the back door and helped themselves to goods." "Gordon balled out every whiskey man arrested." On Armiatics day Dr. Bulgin was to make a speech in connection with the observance." His choir also was to march in the parade—several hundred persons. Gordon, in an effort to hurt the (Continued on Page Two) Anneheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n remarked today. Neither can opening prices be predicted. Both matters depend upon the state of the market. It is unlikely, however, that resumption of shipping will be postponed to as late a date as usual, for navels and other varieties have been as much as a month ahead of schedule in maturity. Sandilands also is firm in the belief that prices will more than make up for a smaller crop in the Anaheim district, because of the much greater damage elsewhere. The extent of this damage is not being minimized by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange in its reports, but even the latter are regarded in some quarters as very conservative. START LITTLE ONES TO SCHOOL NOW With a graduating class of 54 entering the high school, the number of pupils of the intermediate school declined to a point 25 below the total on Jan. 5, C.C. Smith, superintendent of schools, pointed out today. The incoming class of little ones isn't as large as usual, so far, and Smith asks that any parents having a child of becoming six by April 25 be entered at once in the first grade. Previous kindergarten training is not required. He would rather have the children entered now than later. Beginners' classes are formed in all the grade schools. CHICAGO RECOVERS FROM SNOW STORM CHICAGO, Jan. 27. — Chicago today was recovering from a near blizzard which sent the mercury down to seven above, drifted snow badly in the outlying parts of the city and made walking and driving perilous downtown. The weather man, however, was noncommittal as to whether the relief would be permanent. SERVICE THURSDAY FOR DR. HARVEY Funeral services for Dr. C.W.

GEORGIA SWEPT BY FLOODS Whole Counties Beneath IT'S A RARE SPECTACL LASTS BUT IT SO THEY SAY THAT THIS IS HIS LAST PERFORMANCE SWEPT BY FLOODS Whole Counties Beneath Sheet of Water After Long Rainy Spell ATLANTA, Ga., Jan. 27.—South Georgia is suffering from one of the worst floods in the history of that section. Today five counties are practically buried beneath acres of roaring water, emptied toward the Gulf of Mexico, after torrential rains in the northern part of the state. Cattle have been drowned by scores, acres of land have been washed over, fences destroyed and light buildings carried away like toy houses. Damage, it is now estimated, will reach several hundred thousand dollars. Several towns have appealed for aid from the American Red Cross. Train service today still was badly disrupted due to washouts on several lines. Newton, the county seat of Baker-co, is inundated. Not one of the towns' 400 residents has been left in the town, according to word reaching here. Water is said to have mounted until it covers the top of telephone poles. That is the highest the Altamahah river ever has reached. McIntosh-co., which borders the seacoast, is also hard hit. Doctorown is submerged and no word has been received as to the fate of the residents. So far no loss of life has been reported from the southern area. The weather man's promise of cold weather, rain, snow and sleet was fulfilled today in the states bordering the Mississippi river and the storm was slowly moving toward the Atlantic seaboard, according to reports reaching Atlanta. Rain and sleet fell all night in Little Rock and snow began falling early today. Memphis reported temperatures below freezing, with sleet, snow and rain the visiting elements. New Orleans and Mobile reported a light rain, with temperature about normal. At Birmingham the temperature was 45 at dawn. Rain which had been falling all night ceased. Cold, cloudy weather was reported from Vicksburg. Atlanta awoke in balmy temper... MOSOS FIGHT WITH OFFICERS MANILA, Jan. 27.—The hooodoof of the Moro drum echoed loudly in the primeval jungle of Mindanao province, Mindanao island, yesterday when a fierce battle took place between rebellious mosques and a detachment of Philippine archipelago. BOMB ATTACK BEATLE, Jan. 27.—Windows were shattered and dishes were taken by the explosion of a bomb near the home of Fred P. Webb proprietor of a metal work shop, shortly after 6 o'clock morning. Webber told the police he has no enemies so far known is unable to explain the attempt to wreck his home. BRITISH CRUISER GUARDS U. S. SHIP SHANGHAI, Jan. 27.—The British cruiser Carlisle was placed guard over the American Express steamer Belgenland here to after three more British river ships had been fired upon by Wooing forts. SIX GET AWARDS BERKELEY, Jan. 27.—In addition of their golfing ability, the athletic council of U. of C. Thomas, Jack Hounian, Robert Stephens, George Bray, Jack Dalton and Stanton Haight. DEATHS IN FLAMES BARNUM, Minn., Jan. 27.—Four persons were burned to death today in a fire which destroyed the farmhouse of Mrs. Ann Gerard, a widow, living nine miles east of here. Moonshine Makes Young Girl Blind KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Poisonous moonshine today resulted in temporary blindness of an 18-year-old girl, serious illness of another girl and the arrest of two youths at Lakeview, Ore., at an alleged Saturday night party at which the liquor was served is said to have caused the trouble. Harry Ballard of Klaanath Falls and Leo Wilkie of Lakeview are held. Pending investigation, the names of the two girls were withheld by Lake-co authorities. One of the girls became totally blind after drinking the liquor. Later she is said to have regained partial use of her sight. The other girl is seriously ill. Officials expect to make other arrests. If there was anybody who put the report a few weeks ago of local bank resources as of Dec. 31 as another optimistic story which might be better discounted, he has another think coming. The figure reported was $7,792,123, an advance as usual over the year before. This is a conservative statement, H. H. Benjamin of the First National declared today, who said that this sum represented the resources of the five banks after payments had been made in orange and walnut money. That is, this amount was "what was left" after balancing the books, as it were. If Anaheim's statement of its bank resources were that at the peak of the entire year, a date two or three months earlier should have been taken, when the city could fairly claim well over $8,000,000. That is the custom of certain other towns. In any case, it is fairer in case a rough figure is used to talk about $8,000,000 in local bank resources than $7,000,000. MANILA TO FIGHT PESKY SKEETER MANILA, Jan. 27. — War against the mosquito in the district surrounding Manila was declared in earnest today when a campaign was started by the Philippine public health department and the Rockefeller foundation. Mosquito borne malaria causes more deaths every year in the Philippines than the combined casualties due to all other diseases. 200,000 FRUIT TREES—All leading varieties.

CLUB NOMINEES, DO YOU APPROVE? TO Messrs. Grafton, Miller, Franzen, Mathds and Stock, candidates of the U. S. A. club: Saturday you were asked publicly if you approved the unprecedented campaign of villification and mud-slinging, the worst ever seen in any Orange county political campaign, which has been adopted by E. A. Geissinger, the U.S.A. club spokesman, and the Bulletin, the U.S.A. club organ. You have not seen fit to tell conspiracy to import ex-convicts into Anaheim in the most despicable attempt to besmirch men's reputations So. Calif. has ever seen? Is that your idea of a political campaign? If you could, would you want to go into office under such circumstances? Do you countenance an attack upon an evangelist whose home is hundreds of miles from Anaheim, who has nothing whatever to do with the issues in this campaign and who is holding into tent last night. Vast Audience of Voters Listens for Two Hours to Metcalf and Knipe The greatest and most enthusiastic audience that ever attended a political gathering of any kind in Anaheim filled the big tabernacle at Claudina and Wilhelmina sts. last night to hear Mayor E. H. Metcalf and other speakers. Every one of the 3000 seats was occupied and many were standing. Altho the meeting was scheduled to start at 8 p.m. the tent was filled long before that time and the speaking was started at 7:45 p.m. When the five dry candidates appeared on the platform it was the signal for prolonged applause. The speakers were repeatedly cheered to the echo. Evidencing the keenest interest in the discussions by the speakers the vast audience be tween bursts of applause listened with closest attention for more than two hours. It was a most orderly gathering. While the crowd was gathering Alvin Carter and Roy Gourley, of the Bulgin evangelistic party, contributed musical selections, vocal and piano, which greatly delighted the crowd. When the singers added a verse to their famous song "Ain't it a shame?" to read like this: "Ain't it a shame to lie about politics, a Bulletin shame?" the vast crowd went wild. The musicians were repeatedly enced. The meeting was called to order by Dr. E. E. Long, city council campaign manager. The audience stood and sang two verses of "America," after whicht Dr. Bulgin offered the invocation. Mayor Metcalf said in part: Ladies and Gentlemen, and friends: I hope that takes in everyone here. The opening of this meeting reminds me of a campaign I engaged in a number of years ago in Bitter Root Valley, Idaho, when I was supposed to be grafting in Butte. Another man and myself went to a school house one evening to speak. The crowd was slow gathering. Presently some one got up and entered into tent last night. TO Messrs. Grafton, Miller, Franzen, Mathis and Stock, candidates of the U.S. A. club: Saturday you were asked publicly if you approved the unprecedented campaign of villification and mud-slinging, the worst ever seen in any Orange county political campaign, which has been adopted by E. Geissinger, the U.S.A. club spokesman, and the Bulletin, the U.S.A. club organ. You have not seen fit to tell the public what you think about this most serious question. You have remained silent on this as you did for ten days on the challenge of Mayor Metcalf to meet on a public platform before a vast audience of intelligent voters, such as faced him last night, and discuss in a dignified way the reasons why four councilmen who have demonstrated their courage and ability should be turned out of office because they enforced the 18th amendment, and you should be elected in their places. Now, will you answer this question? Do you approve a conspiracy to import ex-convicts into Anaheim in the most despicable attempt to besmirch men's reputations So. Calif. has ever seen? Is that your idea of a political campaign? If you could, would you want to go into office under such circumstances? Do you countenance an attack upon an evangelist whose home is hundreds of miles from Anaheim, who has nothing whatever to do with the issues in this campaign and who is holding the biggest religious revival Anaheim has ever seen? You are advanced as Christian gentlemen. Do you approve this sort of thing? Is it a fact that U.S.A. club leaders today admitted they could not possibly hope to win the election next Tuesday, at last realizing that the public cannot stomach such tactics, but that they are determined to "raise as much stink as they possibly can," as one director of your club told a group of fellow members? Can you afford to remain silent? What will the public conclude if you do? NO MARRIAGE; NO DIVORCE SALEM, Ore., Jan. 27. — The state supreme court today ruled that common law marriages are not legal in Oregon. In the case of Frank M. Huaard vs. Jennie McTeigh, the lower court granted a divorce to the defendant, but the supreme court holds that insinuam as there had been no legal marriage there was no occasion for dissolution of marriage. TOLD TO LEAVE IN FEW WORDS LOS ANGELES, Jan. 27. — Charles Hill of Belvedere Gardens reported to the sheriff's office today that he had been threatened with death by three masked men unless he left the city immediately.

LONDON, Jan. 27. — A dispatch from Peking this afternoon said the allied powers had sent a note to the Chinese government, "emphasizing the government's responsibility for protection of foreign lives and property in Shanghai." COMPLETE VOTE WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. — The complete vote of the electoral college based on November's presidential election returns, has been received by the president of the senate, Sen. Cummins, Rep. of Iowa, it was announced today. The last state to return its vote was South Dakota. The electoral college will meet Feb. 11 to formally elect Calvin Coolidge president. A Class Ad will bring you results. How different was the experience in Anaheim last spring when this council was elected by the largest majority ever seen in this city, a majority which ran nearly two to one. I recall that immediately after the election I was asked for an interview by the Bulletin. I was told by the city editor and the publisher and owner that, now that election was over, the Bulletin would work with the rest of us for the peace and unison of Anaheim. How has that promise been kept? We have been lied about times without number. They have even said my smile was gone, but I still have it. Last spring a small coterie of our opponents formed what they called the Good Government League. It was about as true to its name as a bootlegger convention is to a T.M.C.A. convention. When they hold a meeting they don't sing "Fraise God from Whom All Blessings Flow." (Continued on Page Three.)
