The passed for anybody doubt that the Southern
Pacific rarad in politics in California The evidence of that
fact is cumulative and overwhelming.
THE No sane man in the state really doubts it,,
RAILROAD unless he has been completely hoodwinked
TICKET and humbugged by the cunning bosses of
the party which upholds special privileges
against popular rights Nor any one not under the spell
hypnotic bossm doubt to which ticket the great
poation trying elect surely not working to make
Mcguire governor for the of any man
whose appears the union ticket Nobody believes that
nobody preends make such claim What then
the oppressive octopus trying with all its might to elect! The
Gage ticket, of course.
The Republican candidate may protest often
strongly pases that he not railroad candidate
that opposing the railroad funding bill in the early
daya Cafoniaor fifteen years before the funding bill had
been heard of The fact remains that he the candidate
selected advance its assembling by state convention that
dominated by the railroad absolutely and Enthusiastically
The head the ticket be sincere IN saying
elected governor will continue to be- entirely
independent Of railroad Influences but should the people be
unmindfu OF their interests to elect himan i'm
probable contingencyhe will prove to be most remarkable
if he shall array himself against such legislation the
omnvoou corporation may demand. He is yet unred
public position he has had experience in legislation
and he evidently the of the peoples arch
enemy BETTER then for the voters to cast their
ballots in who has for been efficient pub
lie servant brave champion of popular rights and able ad
vocate of whatever true and just legislation In other
words for that clear headed statesman James Mcguire
But the capture of the govenoshp is not all the railroad
desires to accomplish in the present contest The interests of
that vast corporation large and There
y town of Importance within the boundaries of the state
that is not another affected by what the alpow
eru corporation does fails to do Its greed is unlimited
like billion Oliver Twists simultaneously calling for
1t has been satisfied and it will be- for
after has absorbed all political and gained control of
all natural advantages worth having in California it will
tnue to reach out after states and territories conquer
In this campaign it hopes to capture not only the
but majority of congressman and of both branches Of the
legislature controlling number of members of the board OF rail
road commissioners and the state board of equalization
oty of the supreme court Judges and other old thing
thing that possibly be used for its aggrande
ment Today it is using sort of corruptng influences
every species of ckey and every style of coercion that its
think be effective in making votes for Gage and
the entire railroad ticket Should that ticket be successful it
will the practical surrender of the people of California
tyranna power that will bind them for indefinite period
to industrial uggenaut from which release hardly be
expected by any ordinary means
Such calamity not be permitted 1t and must be
avered by with brains in their heads honesty and
in their hearts, and ballots in their hands.
