Pleads With Republicans to Kick Herrn and His
Associates Out of Party Politics, as Hearst
Was Kicked Out by the Democratic
Convention at Sacramento

ZION. THEODORE A. BELL cap
tured the crowd from the first.
1t was perhaps not so much what
he said, although there was plenty OF
meat in his talk, but the way he said
it. His thorough earnestness, his ag-
gressve sincerity, his ringing tones as
he laid down the gauntlet to the South
ern Pacific and hurled defiance alike at
Herrin and Hearst, made that crowd sit
up and listen as no crowd ever listened
to a candidate before. 1t was evident
he meant every word he said, and 1t was
equally evident that his hearers knew
he meant every word he said and We're
convinced by his arguments.
He seemed very boyish and young as
he sat in the high cked chair in the
center of the stage, but when he stood
to deliver his speecn his six feet of
young manhood took on mature APP
pearance and there was nothing young
or boyiSh in what he said. His nrst
words were hoarse, for he had been
making an aggressive campaign, and
many speeches in the open air had had
an effect on his voice.
This is my first visit to the SOUTH
land, on a political mission" he began.
''In fact, L have always considered it
prohibitive for Democrat TO visit the
south The name of Roosevelt l have
been told, is the word you conjure with
down here, but have plucked up the
courage to visit you because the issues
of the state this year are not national
issues,
Did Not Ask Nomination
"I heard it predicted a few days ago
by the chairman of the state central
committee that there would be 5000
votes in Los Angeles county this fall,
and that Gillett would receive major
ity of 10000. also heard this man say
that in county and city politics you
might elect some non-partisan canii-
dates because Walter Parker was in
volved in local issues, but that that
would have no effect on the state CAM
palgn because there was no waiter
Parker in connection with Gillett. |
have q lurking suspicion that is based
on self-eVident facts that the Republi-
can gubernatorial situation does involve
that railroad hireling, Walter Parker.
II went to the con invention at Sacra-
mento as a spectator. l was not even q
delegate. l opened no headquarters. l
spent not one cent, l spoke not a Sylia-
BILE for my unanimous nomination as

my nomination to no man, and 1 Will
owe my election only to the people OF
this state"
Issues involved in this campaign are
local questions, not national Those
who have followed the proceedings Of
the conventions that have been held
In California must be fully cognizant
of the serious matters that are pre-
scented to the electors OF California for
decision. The lines are so clearly and
distinctly drawn that none should make
mistake.
IF the people OF California desire to
preserve self-rule and popular govern

ment for California they cannot In
Justice to themselves indorse the ac-
tion of the Santa Cruz convention.
| Those w,-o would surrender the right
of the people to participate freely In
the selection of public servants cer-
tainly cannot be in the majority, for
there is nothing dearer to the human
heart than the right of free thought,
free speech and a free ballot.
Il know it is often asserted that poll
| tics is distinctly a practical affair and
that the higher sentiments of morality
do not enter into it's consideration, but
| this idea is one that no thinking man
can indorse.
! "Once you eliminate from our politi-
1 cal concerns the question of right and
wrong you not only render the state
the helpless prey of political vandal-
[ ism, but you sow the seeds of decay
that will finally sap the foundations
of the commonwealth.
! "WaiVing for the moment the ethical
and moral questions that confront us,
let us look into the material issues
| that we squarely face.

until the polls close. have denounced
Herrin because when he wants men he

rails for his great Southern Pacific, he

The fitness of candidates, even for

interests in California. (Applause)

mo thought was given to the real
choice of the people, and the conven-
ton degraded itself into mere instru-
ment for carrying out corrupt, shame
less and conscienceless railroad pro-
gram.
mo one dreams that Boss Herrin
was moved by patriotism or loyalty to
California when he dubbed delegate
after delegate into the support of his
slate
'fNone will deny that he was impelleo
by purely selfish motives.
His one ambition was, and is, tc
render the administration of our state
servile to his domination and control
THE interests which he represents
are inimical to the best interests OF
California, for his sordid ambition Is
to perpetuate railroad monopoly as

IION.. JAMES D. PHELAN, former
n mayor of San Francisco" divided
with Hon. THEODORE A. Bell, the
nominee for governor, the honors of the
evening. Mr.. Phelan's speech was
cheered throughout, and the Changing
of bells marked the telling points in
Mr.. Phelan's address. His remarks
were as follows:
Crisis In Politics
There is crisis in the political affairs
of California. New conditions challenge
the judgment of the people, but when
the issues are understood there can be
no reasonable doubt of the outcome.
Conventions may be manipulated, but
the great heart of the people is sound,
and it is to the people that the final
appeal is made.
1t has been said by the opponents of
the democratic form of government
that the people do not vote their in
terests because they do not know their
interests. They are confused and led
astray. While this is often true there
i3 no reason why the people should not
know where their interests lie. It is
one of the purposes Of this campaign
to inform them.
The Southern Pacific company has
openly bid for the government of the
state. To accomplish this purpose 1t
has allied itself with the corrupt politi-
cal bosses of San Francisco and in the
name of great party has put forward
candidates for the principal offices of
the state. If they are elected they shall
do the will of their masters, and their
will is Incompatible with the interests
Of the people.
Railroad Domination Slavery
For long years the Southern Pacific
railroad regarded California as it's
plantation" 1t controlled governors,
legislators and courts. 1t barred the
way to office and had it's complaisant
servitors in most places of power 1t
held the state in the grip of it's mon
opoly and enjoyed privileges and i'm
munities denied to humber citizens. 1t
received franchises subsidies and tax
exemptions. For every two drops of
rain that fell it has been said the rail-
roads took one. They inquired into
private business and fixed rates to
absorb the profits Of enterprise; and,
by the vicious special contract system
they Disseminated between shippers.
Their agents harried the people and
made railroad domination a species of
slavery.
The people rebelled. competition was
given an opening, and by the fortunes
OF Wall street the management changed.
These circumstances held the rail-
road for time in check. But now the
Western Pacific attempted TO enter the
state, and Governor Pardee refused to
take orders and he was led to the
slaughter at Santa Cruz-by the sad
sea waves. His tomb in the Southern
Pacific graveyard is Inscribed; Exc
cuted for INSTRUMENTATION. This is in
tended to be warning.
Wears Republican Mantle
The railroad then, with sublime ef-
frontery. selected its own candidate by
the hand Of it's own chief counsel and
fort hwith sent him masqueradng in
the robes of the Repu blican rarity,
stalking through the state.
You may observe that he breaches not

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-Presldent
Roosevelt, in a wireless message re-
ceived at the war department tonight
authorized the sending of the frs
American army expedition to Cuba.
All day the acting secretary OF, war
thef military secretary and the CHIEF
of staff had been trying to communi'
cate with the president. and the mes
sage tonight was the first dispatch they
had received from him after the re-
ceipt of dispatch from Secretary Taft
early in the day, in which he urged
the sending of United States troops tt
Cuba.
Secretary Taft's dispatch indicated
that there was a clear understanding
between President Roosevelt and him
self concerning the Cuban situation
Immediately after the receipt of the
telegram from til, secretary of war
Acting Secretary oliver of the wal
department directed the issuance Of
orders for the mobilization Of troop:
at Newport News
These orders, however, were more ol
less tentative. President Roosevelt
was fully advised by the war depart
ment of the situation, but the messages
we're delayed and there was great anx-
iety until the approval of the war de-
partment's action came tonight in the
dispatch from the president.
Preparations for the mobilization OF
the proposed expedition of $500 men al
Newport News were not delayed by the
failure to get the presidents sanction
of the expedition Immediately The
quartermaster general hurried Officers
from his department to Cuba and con-
tracts for transports were entered into
without hesitation, but until the reas-
suring dispatch came from President
Roosevelt there was much uneasiness
in the war department lest there might
have been a misunderstanding of dis
patches which We're not entirely clear

Wednesday. Gov. Joseph Folk Of that
state said:
1--WE are in the beginning Of the great.
est moral awakening America has ever
known. The next four years will be
distinguished as the time IN which
the reign Of lawlessness and privilege
ended and routine Of equal right for all
became fixed in national policies and
the conscience Of mankind. The fact
that this awakening against wrongs
bias come with prosperity shows that
Il does not proceed from a spirit Of
discomfort, but that Il springs from
the moral sense Of the people. We are
entering upon the best age the world
has ever known.
The legislature Of the State should
not be controlled by any special inter
est whether corporation, or liquor sell
ers. The latter seems to be getting
men favoring them in the General As
