the great wash are Republicans, and
Mr. Bell understood that it was merely
an act of courtesy op their part, al
though it was known that several have
declared their intention of voting for
the Democratic nominee.

numbering nearly thirty machines,
was under way, and after a short ride
Azusa was entered, with every horn
blowing and scores of bells changing.
Several hundred people were gathered
at the intersection of Azusa avenue
and Center street and Mr.. Bell was
cheered when he was introduced by
Judge George w. Glover as the next
on lines similar to those followed at
Monrovia and he was as heartily
cheered as when he made the first
speech of the day, and when he con-
cluded he was given three cheers,
which were almost drowned by the
noise of the horns and bells.
From Azusa the party sped to Glen
dora, where crowd of about 200 peo-
pie were patiently awaiting the ar
rival OF Mr. Bell. Here the noted
guest was introduced by w. L. Miller,

a Bell man. Mr.. Bell made brief
speech, which was well received, and

adopted a resolution of thanks to the
members of the San Gabriel Auto club
and to the members of the Covina
