PEOPLES CANDIDATE
FILLS DEMAND FOR
HONEST GOVERNMENT

The following editorial from the
Marin County Tocsin of September. IL
shows how highly the Democratic cam
didate is esteemed in the west central
part OF the state:
The Democracy of California has met
the demands of the people of this state
for better government. 1t has hurled
from it's house the collar of political
bossism and the well worn chains of
railroad bondage. 1t did all of this
when it hearkened to the cry of the
plain people in every corner of the state.
and chose as its STANDARD bearer that
clean, fearless and brilliant son of Cali
fornia, Hon. Theodore A. Bell of Napa.
In the shadow of his personality the
lines of partisanship fade and the voter
who goes to the polls in November will
forget his political faith to cast his
ballot for the man who stands for all
that is good and clean in the political
life of the state. 1t is given to but few
men to enjoy this quality and the peo-
pie OF California pursued by the chains
and collars of bossiSm and corruption
are fort innate that in these trying times
such man has arisen to champion
their cause and lead them to their own
The brilliant, matchless, aggressive
courage displayed by Theodore Bell In
the great convention at Sacra nento
made helpless there The cause of evil
and fired In every heart a burning de-
sire to see California rescued from the
thrall of bosslsm and political corrup-
tion. 1t was hie fearless stand that
threw the time server and the political
trimmer into confusion. 1t was this
stand that strengthened, purified and
enthused the great gathering, and it
was this stand that has made il possible
for the people of a boss-ridden state to
vote for government of their own
choosing in November next. 1t is this
stand that las aroused the thinking
men of all political faiths to a realiza-
tlon of the fact that the candidacy of
Theodore Bell Is a triumph Of the whole
people and that his election in NoVem-
ber next will be a triumph of good gov
ernment over bad government.
Theodore Bell Is no trimmer of politi-
cal sails and he knows no boss. His
magnificent display of courage at Sacra-
mento was an inspiration not alone to
every delegate to the great convention.
but il was an inspiration to every man
woman and child in California Il was
an inspiration that presages the down.
fall of bossism IN California. When his
voice rang out, clear and true, defiance,
not TO those Of opposing political faith,
hut defiance 10 those who sought 10
continue the government OF our state
as "a chattel of bossism-from that
minute he became the peoples cham
pion. Partisanship died then and there,
slain By the courage, brains and honesty

ple's governor Of California.
