Los Angeles Democrats were feeling
very jubilant yesterday over the pros
poets for a big Democratic majority In
California, the largest In the southern
portion of the state for many years.
Theodore Bell, a prominent Native Son
of the Golden West, Is popular among
all classes and won. his way into the
hearts OF thousands by his upright and
straightforward speeches Saturday. His
visit Is regarded an epoch for Cali
fornia Democracy.
Anthony Schwamm, chairman of the
county central committee, said last
evening:
THE vote of the laboring classes and
the desire of the people, to stop Repub-
lican rule, combined, make the outlook
very bright for a Democratic majority.
Manhood and principle will win. Theo-
dore Bell will doubtless get the greatest
majority ever won in California;
In addition to this Mr. Schwamm has
already promised his pretty little daugh-
ter Mary, who presented Mr.. Bell with
floral tribute Saturday evening, that
she shall participate IN the inaugural
ball and march, and has given Mrs.
Schwamm carte blanche for an inau-
gural ball gown
Young Says "6rleht"
Milton X. Young said that the out
look for Democracy In California was
very bright
"The sentiment in Southern Califor-
mia" said Mr.. Young, lis stronger for
the Democratic ticket than in many
years and l think good part of the
state ticket will be elected. One reason
for this strong sentiment is the dis
satisfaction of the manner in which the
Santa Cruz convention was conducted.
The Independent spirit should be mani
tested.
1.-THE people of Southern California
are awake to the fact that we must
keep the San Pedro harbor from the
Southern Pacific"
Republicans Like Bell
Capt. G. M. Cake was one of the dele
cation from Los Angeles to secure the
nomination of Mr.. Bell
1--WE know his history in congress-"
said Capt. Cake last evening, land there
cannot be anything brought up against
him. The prospects were never brighter
for the Democratic party in California
than now. Bell was not looking for the
Office but the office was seeking the
man."
w. H. Workman, the well known city
Treasurer, said:
"Mr. Bell is good man. He is a very
good man. In fact he is the best man
and he will get many independent votes.
He Is a sincere man, a nameSake of
Theodore Roosevelt and 1 think Just
such man. He is native son, and
that makes him doubly in my favor, for
love the native sons-and the native
daughters, too"
Craig's Comment
w. T. Craig said that he expected Mr.,
Bell to be elected without a doubt.
''I heard a letter read that was writ
ten by w. j. Bryan the other day." said
Mr. Craig last evening, land in it he
said that the issue in California was
such 1t seemed that the Democrats
ought to come near electing the ticket
Ii they didn't succeed. Now / thought
Mr.. Bryan was not informed regarding
the local conditions and was judging
from the statistics of the last election.
Mr. Bell will be elected without doubt.
l know many Republicans who will
support Mr.. Bell"
Calvin Wilson voiced the general SEN
timent and said:
"Mr. Bell is young man in years
but of wide experience and full of en-
thusiasm. He is a native son. a clean
young man, who has always successful
ly filled the trusts placed in him."
WASTES Time on Hearst"
Attorney A. D. Warner said:
"The clear, logical talk, the splendid
oratory, the masterful diction of James
d. Phelan as he assured us that Theo-
dore Bell is a scholar and a gentle
man, assured Mr.. Bell an enthusiastic
welcome to the southland. And his
speech that followed was wonderful.
"But 1 believe Mr.. Bell is making
one mistake. He wastes too much time
on that man Hearst. By his con-
temptible tactics that man read himself
out of the Democratic party, and the
people are no longer concerned about
him.
"Mr. Bell should confine his attacks
to that hideous monster that is seek
ing the life blood Of this state, the
Southern Pacific.
1.-THE people are not asking about one
W. r. Hearst. What they want is re-
release from the fruit growers $6,000,000
yearly tribute to the railroad; they
want to know why the attorney general
