"We heard many scoff at the idea that Lee Bashore could be elected to the assembly. But he is a Bashore, and as we have intimated, the Bashores seem to get what they go after . . . . He should be a valuable man for the agricultural interests, as he is an orange grower himself, and a supervisor of large acreages for others in the Glendora area. Some of us have known Lee since his childhood days, and we know that whatever he attempts he will fight to win his point."
