SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1925 Greater Ana The Issue The issue to be decided Tuesday: Will Anaheim disgrace itself by endorsing the most vicious use of the recall in the history of the state? Will it countenance the injustice of ousting from office admittedly the best administration the city has ever had? Will it approve the U. S. A. Club's "rule or ruin" campaign of mudslinging and villification, which has stopped at nothing, not even hesitating to bring in ex-convicts in an effort to blacken the reputations of the law enforcement candidates, every man of whom is bone dry, and whose record for enforcement of the prohibition law is a performance and not a promise?

Don't Be Deluded! Do not be deluded by desperate efforts to becloud the situation of ex-officeholders and political soreheads in the old political gang which the people voted out of office so decisively last spring.
