Bells Election Predicted
Nathan Cole, jr, chairman of the aux
iliary committee for Southern Califor-
mia of the Democratic state central
committee, said yesterday that a promi-
nent Republican of Riverside county
whose name he would not care to give
without authority. declared that a Bell
landslide was on in Riverside and San
Bernardino counties; that Riverside
county, which should give Gillett ma
jority Of 1900, would not have a Republi-
can majority of over 300. and that San
Rernardir{o county would be carried by
Bell by 4 ma joffty of 500.
The reason for the slump to Bell was
ascribed to a revolt of Republicans
against the machine and to the belief
that in Mr.. Bell the Democrats have a
candidate who is honest, capable and
absolutely free from corporate influence.

that he was among the Republicans of
Riverside county who intended to vote
for Bell and the entire Democratic
ticket as a protest against Southern
Pacific control of the Republican party.
