uate itself in power; it's control will
be SO despotic that few young men
with honorable political ambition will
dare to oppose it.
OF course, there Is no danger of
Hearst's dream being realized and it
does not possess enough strength to be
termed serious menace. But 1T Will
be to the everlasting credit of Cali
fornia If it shall succeed in destroying
the evil domination of the one and the
reckless pretentions of the other.
If such forces as these are permit
ted to mould the destinies of California,
God pity us.
The future greatness of California
will depend Firstly, upon the develop
ment of the valley and mountain com
munities through the building of new
railroads, both steam and electric. 1t
to Southern Pacific monopoly which
will. through pure and unmitigated
selfishness, obstruct, delay and, II pos
sible, defeat every effort to secure
greater facilities for transportation and
competition rates.
Nor can we afford to place in the
hands of the Southern Pacific. or any
render the navigable rivers of Cali
fornia no longer the rate regulators of
the two great valleys of California.
Secondly, California's future depends
very largely upon harmonious relations
between the employer and the en-
ployed.
Hearst is not the true friend of the
Iaboring man, but nm agitator cease
Iessly seeking to elevate himself at the
expense of the wage-earner.
Organized labor cannot afford to
nh bA hfRh ground which II
stands 10 become the plaything of any
one man.
/ have an abiding faith in the high
aims and purposes of organized labor,
the main object of which is to secure
to those who create the wealth of the
| country their just proportion of what
they produce. But this end fs defeated
whenever the workman In taught to re-
gard his employer as his enemy, and
the employer persuaded to abandon his
| confidence In workmen.
An Intelligent appreciation of the
cordial relations that ought to exist
between the two has never seemed to
dawn upon the mind of Hearst.
! Therefore, so long as he stands with
! club In hand to beat both sides intO
resentment and hatred toward each
other, he stands a menace to Cali
fornfa's progress and should be made
to feel that the people Will not indorse
his position.
! For this reason l have drawn a line
and neither Hearst nor Herrin shall
stand on my side of it. 1 shall bend
every energy to eliminate these two
men from California politics, and l be-
lieve the people will help me do it. Nc
! quarter shall be asked or given.
| If elected Governor. l shall endeavor
| to give California good. clean
! economical administration for four
years l shall execute the laws without
| fear or favor.
| l shall be free and independent and
whatever strength of mind and heart
! that God has given me will be devoted
to my State.

Further than this the editor seeks TO
Wrest the local labor vote from Mayor
Schmitz and Ruef. To make this pur-
pose possible a State Doodle Dee ticket
must be placed in the field TO fortify a
local ticket which is yet TO be named.
II is agreed. therefore, that Bell was in
no way mistaken when he voiced de-
hance TO Hearst
II is generally understood that Bell
IS TO be given an Endorsement from the
State Labor Union party. This may as
sist him in the northern communities
OF the Stae, but ii will work seriously

them
Captain Moneys determined stand
will no doubt do much to control the
situation in his district. There are.
however. number of places that will
have to be closed before his district is
purified He is anxious to drive all
such places back to the burned district

A MYSTERIOUS BLAZE
Pere Marquette Railroad Bridge Dis
covered on Fire Yesterday Morning

| Pere Marquette Railroad Bridge Dis
covered on Fire Yesterday Morning
Yesterday morning at o'clock the
blowing Of the fire whistle aroused a good =
ly number Of our citizens from their early
morning slumbers and an inquiry revealed
the fact that the Pere Marquette bridge
over Flat river was on fire The firemen
responded promptly to the call but men
with buckets had the blaze extinguished
before the company arrived.
1t was thought by some that the fire
was caused by cinders from a passin /.
train but the fact that no train had crossed
the bridge since o'clock in the morning.
would seem to knock that theory in the
head.
The fire was located about 4 feet from
the north end Of the bridge and when dis
covered had succeeded in doing consider
able damage to the same although no.
enough 10 tie up the trains.
IL some person with a grudge against
the company took this way of getting even
in the hopes OF putting one Of their trains
into the river, no effort should be spared
in bringing the guilty party to justice as
several lives and much property might
have easily been lost if the fire had not
been discovered when it was. To say
the least, there is certain amount Of
mystery hanging about the fire to war
rant careful investigation and should
guilty party be apprehended the Banner
is OF the opinion that liberal use Of hemp
would be about the proper treatment for
the occasion.
