CALIF ORNIA IN DEMOCRATIC
 HANDS
So Predicts Los Angeles Her
 aid - It Boasts Hearst for the Double Part He Has
 Taken in Politics.

The following from the Los Angeles Herald concerns the condition of the democratic party in the Golden state:
 The democratic party of California has cleared it's decks for action.
 At one fell swoop it has thrown overheard the unspeakable Hearst. the malcontents, the treacherous and all those who have clung like barnacles to it's sides for purposes of enrichment of themselves and of destruction of the party.
 Having purged itself in day of all those sinister influences which have kept it divided and inharmonious, it's members now stand shoulder to shoul- der. earnest, enthusiastic and moving as one man against the common enc mics of the people.
 For this blessed condition of affairs the Herald has labored necessarily during the past two years. It has pleaded, argued and worked for the harmony of the democratic party and the elevation of its best and strongest men It has used every effort to show that harmony was impossible as long as William R. Hearst hung upon the rarty's skirts, pretending to be a dem ocrat and yet covertly trying to drag the party to its ruin in order that he might rise above the wreck as can didate for president of the United States.
 The democrats of California agreed with the Herald that the first move nient of the campaign should be the ruthless kicking out of William R. Hearst, and that vigorous act was duly accomplished at Sacramento with s unan,rlity of sentiment at once sur. p-isiDg and delightful.
 This act cleared the decks
 Then came tie nomination of the best state ticket and the adoption oi the best platform of principles ever presented by any party to the people of California.
 Every movement suggested and fought fer by the Herald has met the approval of the united democracy of this state, and now there exists no reason why the party should not win such q victory in November as will startle the country and give the na. tional democracy such impetus as will send it booming, enthusiastic and in vincible, into the presidential campaign of 1908.
 Conditions in California never were so ripe for success as now. Every de. cent republican in the state is in open revolt against the Southern Pacific ticket nominated at Santa Cruz. Every sensible republican knows that Con. gresman Gillett's nomination was de termined upon in Wall street last Jan uary, and nobody in California ever dreamed of such a thing until Harri- man. at banquet in Washington, an nounced Gillett as the next governor of this state.
 The republicans Of California were never consulted. Hartman, in his rough rider way, decided the all-im- portant question for himself and then notified his hired bosses to carry out his mandate.
 Everybody knows that to be true. Everybody is aware of the fact that no republican in Los Angeles county had the privilege of expressing his prefer ence for any nominee on the state or county ticket. but that those tickets were notoriously prearranged by the Southern Pacific and machine inter- ests.
 Thus it came about that when Theodore A. Bell was nominated by the democrats for governor he at once declared the issue to be in this state the emancipation of the people from the domination, upon one side, of the railroad republican machine, and upon the other side the demagogy and anarchy of Wm. R. Hearst. Theodore Bell represents the people on this is- sue. He is the leader of the only party that can overthrow the tremen- dous corporate and anarchistic powers that have seized upon California and controlled it as though it were their very own.
 The issues are made. The candidates are named. It rests with the honest. decent people of California to deter mine whether they will vote for the Southern Pacific railrosd. Abe Ruef, Boss Herrin. Boss Parker and Willie Hearst, or the brave, popular leader, Theodore Bell, and the democratic party. And the people never had a question put before them so easy to answer.
