Several Hit Saw-Dust Trail After Sermon By Dr. Bulgin
If critics of Dr. E. J. Bulgin hoped to hamper his revival efforts by their slanderous attacks they failed for the greatest crowd that ever attended an evangelistic service in Anaheim packed the great tent at Willhelmina and Clausinahis to capacity last night. Everyone of the 3000 seats were occupied and many people were standing.
At the conclusion of the service 47 raised their hands to be included in the petitions of praying people and a number hit the saw-duct trail to greep the hand of the evangelist in public confession of faith.
Dr. Bulgin preached on "If I were the Devil, What In Hell would I Do."
Pictures of Dr. Bulgin and the crowd were taken by a photographer of the Los Angeles Examiner. Dr. Bulgin told the newspaperman to put in his paper that Anaheim is a quiet, peaceable city and that reports that citizens here are flying at each other's throats "is a blamed lie"; that it is not true that the Ku Klux Klan has embroiled Anaheim; that if Anaheim has been embroiled It was by lying paper called the Bulletin.
The choir and the audience joined in several songs after which Carter sang, "When the Vell Is Lifted At Last," aided in the chorus by the choir and the audience. Mrs. Walter Ross and Mrs. W. D. Pemberton sang "Who Could It Be But Jesus?"
Carter announced that the tent stoves would be for sale at the end of the meeting, and those who finished to purchase one should see Fred Sexton.
Bulgin will preach tonight on "Friendship" and tomorrow night on "Was Moses Scientific!"
Carter who had been a coworker with Bulgin for years spent a few minutes answering the vitriolic attacks made upon the evangelist thrue a local newspaper saying that Bulgin had been vindicated years ago of every charge brot against him by this newspaper, and that anyone who knew the discipline of the Presbyterian church knew that if those things were true Bulgin could not be an ordained Presbyterian preacher in good standing as he is.
He said that the Bulletin must be getting up a tree on its political campaign to undertake such tactics, that it has nothing to belch forth but vomit, disgusting to all who have any regard for truth.
Dr. Bulgin declared he had been made the victim here of the same dirty tactics that booze gang has used on him for years, which shows from where it emanes now. He refused to be drawn from his purpose of preaching the gospel and zestleits” when a dictionary and a book of synonyms were found in his possession.

were true Bulgin could not be an ordained Presbyterian preacher in good standing as he is.
He said that the Bulletin must be getting up a tree on its political campaign to undertake such tactics, that it has nothing to belch forth but vomit, disgusting to all who have any regard for truth.
Dr. Bulgin declared he had been made the victim here of the same dirty tactics that booze gang has used on him for years, which shows from where it emenates now. He refused to be drawn from his purpose of preaching the gospel and getting souls saved—to enter into a mudslinging campaign. He answered each charge of the Bulletin in detail, and said that the only reason he even took notice of it is that his record as a minister of the gospel must be kept clean if he is to have the necessary influence in soul-saving. He asked all who did not believe the Bulletin charges and had confidence in him to stand up. He was given a rising vote of confidence by nearly everyone in the tent.
Rev. S. F. Hilgenfeld of the First Congregational church of Buena Park lead in prayer.
Dr. Bulgin took his text from Ephesians 2:2: "The prince of the power of the air," and Revelation 12:9: "The great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the devil and satan, which deceiveth the whole world; he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him."
Bulgin said: "Some people don't believe there is a devil, but if the devil is dead who is carrying on his work? The only evil we know is personified evil and comes from a personality. Satan is the god of this world and the prince of the power of the air, and has been from the time that Adam sold out. The devil is not in hell but on earth.
Here are a few things that Bulgin says that he would do if he were the devil:
I'd have women to dress in a manner that would draw attention to their persons, and arouse the baser passions in man. I wish I could speak more plainly here, but unless there is a change on (Continued on Page Two)

Nothing New in Campaign Methods Adopted by Wets
THERE was never a greater truth than that there is "nothing new in the campaign methods adopted by the wets."
This has been repeatedly demonstrated during the progress of the U.S.A. club's campaign of unprecedented mud-slinging to recall Anaheim's first dry council.
For, deny as it will, the purpose and personnel of the U.S.A. club is wet. Nobody is fooled on that point. It includes the same opposition to the dry councilmen as was snowed under nearly two to one last spring.
Then the opposition candidate who received the most votes was Bill Stark, former political boss and saloonkeeper. The second highest opposition candidate was Al Pape, now in the toils of the federal law on serious charges of bootlegging.
Stark's vote and Pape's vote last spring is in the U.S.A. club now, to a man; make no mistake about that! The "Good Government" league which opposed the dry councilmen last year such a wheat market.
May wheat sold on the Chicago Board of Trade today at $2.05 7-8. It closed at $2.05.
All the wheat futures and the rye futures made new highs for the crops. Corn was very strong. Oats also advanced.
How much higher wheat may go no one was disposed to attempt to forecast. There is no telling.
In comparison with the wheat market at Winnipeg today, the Chicago market was almost tame. There May wheat closed at $2.19 7-8, a gain of 8 1-8 cents. New from all over the world was more bullish than ever. Cash wheat was very strong. No 2 wheat sold in the Chicago cash market.
No Disguising Fact That Opposition to Recall Attempt is Growing
There was no discounting today the increasingly pronounced swing in public sentiment to the support of Anaheim's dry council.
Keen political observers declared Mayor E. H. Metcairn and Councilmen Emory Knife, Dean Hasson and A. A. Slaback would be elected next Tuesday and would carry into office with them Harry L. Turton, fifth candidate of law enforcement advocates, who is opposed to G. J. Stock, last of the old wet political ring on the city board.
The only question now is the majority of the vote of confidence that will be given Anaheim's first dry council. Many declared it would be considerably larger than the record margin by which the dry candidates were elected last spring.
A good many things were declared responsible for this decided trend toward continuance of the present administration's policy of law enforcement. Principle was the realization of the emptiness of the charges that have been made against the four officials.
"The public is getting its eyes opened to the injustice of the recall attempt," a leading businessman declared today. He has been listed as a U. S. A. embub director.
"The U. S. A. club, or those of its members who stifle think they have a chance of putting this over on Anaheim, is going to have the surprise of its life," he asserted.
He wasn't the only U. S. A. clubman who has switched. A prominent citizen declared today that he would venture the opinion that at least 200 votes had been changed since the big rally of law enforcement forces Monday evening, the most largely attended and most enthusiastic political gathering ever held in Anaheim.
The straight-forward and dignified manner in which Mayor Meccairl and Councilman Knipe discussed the issues of the day has had a tremendous effect upon the complexion of things politically. It was common opinion on the streets yesterday and today.
The awful disclosure of importation of ex convicts by U. S. A. club members in the most disgraceful attempt to blacken the reputations of good men ever seen in So Cal., has disgusted score of U. S. A. club members who will now vote against the recall of the four dry officials and for Turton.
However, the change in public sentiment may be, those few who have been most insistent upon disrupting the city with a recall en action, were persisting today in further trouble-making efforts.
Four of the leading U. S. A. club directors yesterday afternoon agreed that they could not hope
climen as was snowed under nearly two to one last spring.
Then the opposition candidate who received the most votes was Bill Stark, former political boss and saloonkeeper. The second highest opposition candidate was Al Pape, now in the tolls of the federal law on serious charges of bootlegging.
Stark's vote and Pape's vote last spring is in the U.S.A. club now, to a man; make no mistake about that! The "Good Government" league which opposed the dry councilmen last spring is the U.S.A. club of today. Keep that in mind.
It has always been good American politics and sportsmanship, when licked by such overwhelming majority as last spring, to forget about it and wait until the next regular election.
Continuing their oldtime tactics, the U.S.A. club members today were demanding that every employee announce how he is going to vote next Tuesday. The same boycott and blacklist methods which the U.S.A. club has been using for months and the old saloon crowd resorted to years ago.
The U.S.A. club today was having printed 10,000 cards, reading: "No one will buy property in a Klan controlled town." These will be given widest distribution, in accord with the policy of the U.S.A. club which has been attempting to harrass business in every possible way, especially through its publicity department. How familiar is this old stuff?
A Los Angeles newspaper photographer, seen in conference frequently with the same U.S.A. club conspirators who hired ex-convicts in that infamous attempt to blacken the reputations of the four dry councilmen, has been busy taking pictures of vacant store rooms. These may be expected to appear in a last desperate attempt to blacken the good name of Anaheim.
Yes, Anaheim has some vacant stores. So has every other town in So. Calif. The only difference is that there aren't nearly so many here as at Ful-

All the wheat futures and the rye futures made new highs for the crops. Corn was very strong. Oats also advanced.
How much higher wheat may go no one was disposed to attempt to forecast. There is no telling.
In comparison with the wheat market at Winnipeg today, the Chicago market was almost tame. There May wheat closed at $2.19 7-8, a gain of 8 1-8 cents. New from all over the world was more bullish than ever. Cash wheat was very strong. No 2 red wheat sold in the Chicago cash market at $2.20 1-2, 16 cents over the May future.
Right at the top of the opening gong, May wheat sold at $2. The range of fluctuations at the start was from that price down to $1.99 1-2. The latter was the bottom price for the day.
From then throut out the session, with occasional and minor setbacks, wheat walked right up. There was no such rush of selling at around the $2 price as had been expected in some quarters.
There was large profit taking and pit traders took chances on the short side. But those who converted paper profit into real ones were regretting their haste in selling out a few moments later and those who sold short were scrambling to buy their wheat back.
Corn also was very strong. Shorts in that market had apparently been caught, but they continued to fight the market in the face of the great strength in wheat and rye despite the steady advance in corn itself.
At no time during the entire session did any of the markets show evidences of real weakness, and coming into the last hour of the session wheat constantly climbed into new high ground.
HOLD REALTY MAN
Louis Bouchs, 43, Santa Ana "broker," was held in the county jail at Santa Ana today under ball of $500, on a charge he was acting as a real estate broker without a license. As a specific transaction, he is accused of offering 500 acres of Mexican land owned by George Chambers to Fred W. Heidemann, who was approached as a purchaser.
All club members in the most disgraceful attempt to blacken the reputations of good men ever seen in So. Cal., has disgusted score of U.S.A., club members who will now vote against the recall of the four dry officials and for Turton.
However, the change in public sentiment may be, those few who have been most insistent upon disrupting the city with a recall expedition, were persisting today in further trouble-making efforts.
Four of the leading U.S.A. club directors yesterday afternoon agreed that they could not hope to win the election but they still had time enough to raise a "stink."
J. R. Jobe, one of the ex-convict "investigators," told police the U.S.A. club organ already had prepared a mass of material to string at the last minute in a final desperate attempt to injure the cause of law enforcement.
The U.S.A. club organ last night had little to say about the disclosure of the ex-convicts. It's a hard matter to explain.
The same organ also had difficulty in laughing off the great dry enforcement rally Monday night. Its article on the rally was real funny for any of the 3000 present Monday night who happened to read it.
