BULLS AND BEARS

s5ecial Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK. July 10.--Tn spite OF the
favorable business conditions throughout
the country ahd the prospects Of 1T least
average crops. some persons who are
watching the stock market closely here
were inclined to believe that 1t would be
attractive only to traders for some little
time. While It was stiIi predicted In some
quarters that prices were going very much
lower. the prevailing opinion was that the
fluctuations would not be wide In either
direction and that unless some new ad-
verse factor develops the tendency would
be toward gradual Improvement. More vas
heard with respect to money than the crops
as a market factor.
A prominent banker. In discussing the
monetary situation. said that. while he did
not look for a serious squeeze. he believed
that the demands for money from all
sources would be sufficiently active during
the next six months to keep rates well up.
He said also that the bankers were hold
ing back their funds on the belief that
rates would be higher in the autumn. A
Philadelphia banker who Is in town said
that the banks in that city were offering to
pay four per cent to depositors on funds
placed with those institutions for yeslr.
He added that never before in his twenty
years experience in business in that city
have the banks offered SO high q rate for
deposits.

AN HONEST REPUBLICAN,

r. @. Dale, q staunch Republican,
who has repeatedly represented Kern
county in the Legislative assembly of
California, is the man who wrote let
ter to President Roosevelt asking him
to use his influence in the California
cs campaign. He is a great admirer of
President Roosevelt. He wanted the
president to know all about the stua-
ton in this state and to act accord
ingly.
In reply the President wrote, through
his private secretary, stating that he
could take no part in the California
campaign. This was a jolt for Gillett,
which has penetrated to the remotest
sections Of the state and is going far
to defeat the Santa Cruz ticket.
Mr.. Dale has just written a letter to
the Santa Ana Blade, whose editor -
another staunch Republicans vigor-
ously opposing the Santa Cruz ticket,
and gives strong reasons why he de-
sires the defeat of Gillett.
81 am Roosevelt Republican," writes
Mr.. Dale, "and in this state election I
will cast my first vote for the Demo-
cratic ticket Either Gillett or Bell will
be the next governor. suppose the per-
sonal friends of Langdon will vote for
him, but the great body of Republicans
who will vote against their ticket be-
cause of the issues for which Theodore
Roosevelt has so long and SO gallantly
struggled, want to vote for a winner,
and that means Theodore Bell"
Mr.. Dale is on the right side this
time. He has properly decided that no
friend or supporter of Mr.. Roosevelt
can, with any possible degree of con-
science, vote for Gillett or any part of
the state Republican machine ticket,
and that therefore, the only honest
course for any honest Republican is to
vote for Theodore A. Bell.

SACRAMENTO TRAIN

in All, Declare That They Are
for the Peoples Can
didate
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
STOCKTON, October 25.-The result
of a straw vote taken on the train be-
tween this city and Sacramento today
is enough to make the Gillett support-
ers sit up and take notice. a poll was
taken of every man on the train en-
utled to vote at the coming election.
IN all, sixty-four votes were cast. or
these Theodore a. Bell, the Demo-
cratic nominee, got forty-two: Gillet
republican, seventeen; Langdon, Inde-
pendent, three; Blanchard, Prohibl-
tionfst, one; and Lewis, Socialist. one
The poll was taken at the suggestion
or several men who were talking over
tne political siuatfon and discussing the
various candidates. Little slips of pa
per were distributed among voters on
the entire train, and collected after
every one was given a chance to vote
The occasion was one Of great interest
and when the votes were taken to the
rear car to be counted, a large crowd
followed to hear the result.
The little slips We're collected by A.
Z. Cullahan, a Democrat, of Stockton,
and T. +. Saunders, a Langdon man,
OF Fresno. F. B. Hubbard, a Repub-
llcan, or Stockton, was a witness of
the counting, and W. H. Hobin and C.
w, Minahen, both of Stockton, were
tellers. John 7. Shelton and L. c.
Montford, both of Sacramento, were ON
the train, and took interest in the
straw vote.
When the count was announced there
was much enthusiasm for Bell. The
people on the train were from all parts
of the state, and the vote gives a
fair idea of Bells strength. Among
those who voted We're several men from
Los Angeles, as well as many voters
from various points in the San JOAQUIN
valley.
One remarkable fact was brought out
by the poll, and that was that resi-
dent of this state who appeared to be
of fair Intelligence, did not know that
an election is to be held, nor who the
various candidates are. When given
the list Of the nominees, and the parties
they represented, he said: 'Well, I'm
a Republican, so I'll vote for Gillett."
He then took slip of paper, and blind
ly wrote Gillett upon it, without inqur-
ing anything about the men or the
involved in the campaign.

WRITER'S IN POLITICS

The success of Winston Churchills
first essay in politics seems to astonish
Americans more than a similar feat
would in England. In the British isles
they are accustomed to the writer in
politics. In the present Liberal cabinet
three principal secretaries are literary
men. Mr. Haldane, the secretary for
war, is known as a philosophic writer
of great power and erudition. Mr.. Bir-
rell, the minister of education, whose
bill for free schools has wrecked the
island and nearly wrecked the admins
tration, Is an essayist Of singular pur-
ity of style. Mention of Mr.. Morley.
the biographer of Gladstone and secre-
tary for India, calls up the picture of q
literary man before it does that of "a
politician. The secretary for Scotland,
Mr.. Bryce, is a historian of two hemi-
spheres and highly esteemed in both.
All of these men have achieved admin
istrative success and are a power OH
the platform.
America has some scholarly men In
the public service, but they have been
of two kindS--practical men like Roose-
welt, whose writings are not to be
classed as the highest type Of litera-
ture, but rather the inevitable product
of minds overfiowing with ideas de-
manding expression, and literary men
like Hawthorne and Lowell, whose po-
litical preferment was an effect Of their
career In letters. We have had few
men of the type of Morley, Disraeli and
Bryce, in whom the artistic and the
practical ran parallel courses. The
nearest to this kind OF man In the pub
lie life of the day is Henry Cabot Lodge
of Massachusetts, who is a respectable
literary figure and withal very
shrewd and nepotic politician.-Minne-
apolis Journal.

KERN COUNTY is FOR BELL
Large Majority Is Promised at the
Coming Election
Special to The Herald.


BAKERSFIELD, October. 25.-Kern
county will give Theodore A. Bell
very large majority at the coming cleo
ton. Conservative Democrats claim he
Will get two votes to Gillett'S one, and
Republicans concede that he will carry
the county by a large majority.
The meeting held by Bell here a few
weeks ago was the most enthusiastic
political gathering ever held here. The
strong Bell sentiment is growing day
by day, and although Kern county gave
Roosevelt majority two years ago, it
is expected to go Democratic this time
by at least 2000. There are in all about
5000 votes in the county.
The stand Nell has taken against
railroad aggression has won many sup
porters for him here. The people are
up in arms at the way in which the
railroad has treated them in handling
oil. In conversation with a Bee cor
respondent a prominent business man
of the town said:'
Everybody in Kern county is for
Bell You don't ever hear Gilletts name
mentioned The owners of the oil wells
are doing all they can to help elect
the Democratic nominee. They are
sore at the railroad company for not
supplying them with cars for their
oil, while the Standard Oil company
caH get all inc CARS IL Woiile aI any
time.
When an owner of an oil well asks
the railroad company for a dozen cars,
he gets one or two. By these methods
owners of oil fields are prevented from
getting the oil to the market, and hence
the value of their holdings is reduced.
One owner of an oil we'll went down
to Arizona some time ago, and Sc
cured a contract for a large quantity
of oil.
When he wanted to fill the contract,
he could not get the cars. The result
was he had to cancel the contract.
The Standard Oil company then got
the contract, and filled 1t with oil from
Bakersfield, and got all the cars ii
needed for the transportation of the
product. Many other incidents Of this
kind have occurred, which the people
have not forgotten, and of which they
will show their disapproVal on election
day."

DEATH CALLS OLD PIONEER
o. r. Dousherty Of Long Beach Is
Suddenly Stricken with
Heart Disease

Oliver R. Dougherty, pioneer in the
southern Section of the state, died at
his home, 1000 East Ocean avenue.
Long Beach, last night. Mr.. Dough-
erty was suddenly stricken with heart
disease. His death was a severe shock
to the members of his family.
The members of the family left by
the deceased are III, o. Dougherty of
Edendale, w. ID. Bridges of North
Grand avenue, Los Angeles; Eugene
Dougherty of San Bernardino, and
Paul B. Dougherty of Los Angeles.
Although Mr.. Dougherty was so years
of age he was most vigorous for his
advanced years and his death was alb

Good Handkerchiefs

From the present outlook the rally will
far exceed the Bell meeting held here
two years ago.
Always Il Bell town, 1t was to be
expected that Folsom would make
some demonstration for the Democrat
ic candidate for governor, and would
also stand quite firm for him at the
polls, but the amount of Bell sentiment
being expressed here at present Is sur
prising to even his most ardent admir-
ers and radical supporters.
The Bell club formed here only few
weeks ago has grown rapidly in num-
bers II is this organization which is
making the preparations for next Sat
urday nights meeting. The rally is to
be a strictly Bell one, and as such will
be one of the most enthusiastic of the
present campaign.
There will be large torchlight pro-
cession with two bands. the local or
ganization and one from Sacramento.
After the procession will come the
speech making, and at the conclusion
an all-night dance and barbecue will
be given.
The club has distributed $50 Bell
badges with little bells attached, and
one sees them all over the town on Re-
publicans as we'll as Democrats.
George Gerber, prominent Repub-
lican business man of this place, is an
other of the stalwarts who is going to
vote for Bell.
81 am not one Of those who do a
thing because some one says that 1t
must be DONE" he said. II am not
going to play follow the leader after
Abe Ruef, but am going to vote for
Bell. I have always beensa Republican
and my father and grandfather before
me were Republicans, but that will not
keep me from voting for Theodore
Bell"
