SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-THE man
from the north came to the land of the
south today and began a whirlwind
campaign for himself and the Repub-
lican ticket. 1t was the busiest day
Gillett has yet had and he made no
less than eight addresses. An auto
mobile and the enterprise of the Re-
publican leaders here gave Gillett the
opportunity to set a pace that caused
even the famous promoters of this sun
kissed section to marvel.
The standard bearer says that he is
going to keep up the going as long
as he is in such fertile field, where
he can be Whisked from town to town
in few minutes ride. He regards
Southern California as the bulwark of
the Republican ticket and of his own
candidacy and he will not allow these
thousands of Republicans to grow in
different to the party and be luke
warm in their support. If energy
counts. and the indications are that it
does, Gillett will stir the members of
the grand old party In the southland
as they have never been stirred before.
Bell and Langdon are also operat-
ing these parts, having come in ad-
vance of the Republican candidate, but
the latter declares that he will give
them an exhibition of what active cam
paigning is.
