POMONA, Jan. LIN San Bernardlno
this morning were published affidavirAsQr
two Covina anti-divisionists to the effect
that over 67 per cent of the voters of tho
tSlendora. Azusa, Puente, Lemon and
Covina precincts had actually protested
away from the Pomona county PROPOSE
ton.
Had this any foundation in fact it would
indeed be a matter of some consequence.
But authority that it has no foundation
and that the figures given in the ami
davit are juggled, comes from w. H.
Fruit, a leading divisionist of Pomona.
When the affidavit was called to his
attention in divisionist headquarters,
Truitt smiled broadly and made this per-
tinent inquiry: why publish in San
Bernardino an affidavit to bolster up the
Coyina ants? Have they misrepresent-
ed the facts so long and so maliciously
that they tell the public their oaths are
necessary to carry conviction
Continuing, he said: After four weeks
of hard work trying to get portion oil
the new county to protest out, resorting
to all manner of abuses, schemes and CO.
ercion, the Embellishments have con
-cluded their efforts have been in vain.
They begin the New Year by a resort to
affidavits of the officers of their mag
mary committee.
Regret Tactics
1--WE regret their tactics have been such
that they no longer have confidence IN
their own reputation as truthful citizens,
but are driven to the extremity of affi-
davts in an attempt to inspire conf
dence.
when the light of truth shines in on
their New Years figures the public will
open it's eyes. County division has merit
and merit must win. The new county is
inevitable and no amount of lying and
affidavits based on juggled figures can
defeat the movement"
In this light the divis regard the boast
full reports of the ants. The CoVina
affidavit is merely an example, one out
of many. Analysing the figures given In
the affidavit 1t will be seen the total
registration and tie number of dead oc
moved" are greatly moderated. Some
where in the neighborhood of thirty Is
probably correct.
The publication of this affidavit in dis
tant San Bernardina is so characteristics
of anti tactics OF late, 1t has been the
order of things for Covinans to be APP
prised of the strength of the anti-division
movement in their own city by San Ber-
nardino reports, while in Ontario, cuca'
monga and Upland news of the death
and burial of county division in those
parts is flashed from the west
In a conversation with Covinan this
afternoon a local divisionist passed re-
mark on the affidavit. All" laughed
the Covinan. DO you know what's the
password in Covina? Happy New Year

honolulu, July l4Jn, lSuo.
Editor Advertiser: In yesterday 8
issue of the Bulletin there appears a
report of purported interview with
Mr.. Lucas in which he charges me with
having broken faith with him in the
matter of the Peacock application for
a saloon license for the Royal Annex
premises. | cannot believe that Mr..
Lucas is correctly reported in this or, if
he is, he is certainly laboring under a
wrong impression, as 1 have never,
either at board meeting or elsewhere,
said that / would support an applica-
ton for saloon license from Peacock
& Co. or any other firm or person for
these premises,-but | have said that
I would support an application for a
restaurant license, always assuming
that the standing of the applicant was
satisfactory and that the applicant in
person intended to conduct the bust
ness.
When this matter came before the
board yesterday 1 stated my position
clearly, that is, l did not believe a
saloon in that location either necessary
or desirable, but that / did believe a
restaurant necessity. AS the Peacock
application for restaurant license had
been withdrawn it could not be con-
sidered by the board, thus leaving only
the application for the saloon license
for consideration, the discussion of
which developed a majority against it
although no vote had been taken.
1t was suggested by another member
of the board, not by myself as Mr..
Lucas is reported to haYe stated, that
a representative of Peacock & Co. be
requested to come up to the meeting in
order that he might obtain some in
formation he wanted as to the class of
trade they intended to cater to in case
the application was granted, or, that
the further consideration of the mat
ter go over until Wednesday, during
which interval he would obtain this
information. This was informally
agreed to, but Mr.. Lucas was insistent
that the matter be determined one way
or the other now, and the other four
members not agreeing with him, he
left the meeting declaring he would
resign, and latter returned and showed
the writer a copy of his resignation.
After Mr.. Lucas left telephone mes
sage was sent to Peacock & Co. to
which Mr.. Buchly responded, and when
he appeared before the board he was
informed, that while no vote had been
taken on the application for the saloon
license majority had expressed an
opinion adverse to it, and he was ad-
vised to withdraw his letter withdraw
ing his application for restaurant Ii
cense in order that it might be kept
alive and be heard and considered by
the board in ease they, Peacock & Co.,
desired it. This he declined to do and
after some discussion he left the meet
ing. A vote was then taken and the
refused on the ground that it was
neither necessary nor desirable that a
saloon should be established in that
location. The fact that Peacock & Co.
