DISCUSSES ISSUES

is SATISFACTORY
If Elected Governor, Democratic Nom-
inee Declares He VIII Execute
the Laws Without Fear
on Favor
BY Associated Press.

SACRA MENTO, Cal, Sept. 13,-Near-
ly all the delegates to the Democratic
state convention have left the city and
returned to their homes i'm various
parts of the state. Former Congress-
man Theodore a. Bell, who was given
the nomination for governor. left this
afternoon for his h.4ne in Napa, where
he will be rendered a reception tonight
by the citizens of his county.
Mr.. Bell today gave an interview to
the Sacramento Bee which was in part
as follows:
"a great responsibility has been
placed in my hands by the action Of
the convention, but it has come in a
manner that places me in clear light
before the people of California. The
paramount question is:
Shall the people be permitted to par
ticipate in the selection Of public serv-
ants, or shall that prerogative be in
soently seized and exercised by the
political boss If once we surrender
government to any political machine
we yield up what it has taken centu-
ries to win. For after all, is not self
government the thing that men have
always battled for and deemed the
most precious of all human rights?
"The Democratic party would have
been false to every profession it has
ever made if 1t had failed to draw this
issue sharp and clear, and range itself
on the side of the people. We were
called upon to make good our oft-re-
peated declaration that we are infu-
enced only by considerations of the
common welfare. Had we failed to
tnlya 81 n,,A
and a square deal we would have
justly forfeited the respect of decent
men.
IF elected governor l shall endeavor
to give California a good, clean, eco
nomical administration for four years
| shall execute the laws without fear or
favor. I shall be free and independent,
and whatever strength Of mind and
heart that God has given me will be
devoted to my state"
