MEETS VIsALIA PEOPLE.
Leaving Hanford at s o'clock. Bell
and Toland made their first stop at
personal canvass of the town and were
introduced to over 800 voters.
Escorted by the local Democratic
leaders they visited nearly all the stores
on the main streets and shook hands
with the merchants of Visalia. AS Bell
wanted to save his throat he did not
hold an open air meeting. choosing
rather to meet the voters personally.
At 1 o'clock the party took the train
on the Santa Fe for Tulare. where the
afternoon was spent in much the same
manner, only at Tulare Bell stayed at
the hotel and the merchants of the
town came to him. 1t was not long be-
fore the news had spread that ''the new
Governor" was in town, and one after
another made their way 70 the hotel
to see him. This method of canvassing
worked well. There was an air of re-
serve and dignity about IL. and IL was
interesting to hear the comments Of the
men Of Tulare as they came down the
street after their meeting with the
candidate.
One of the notable features OF Bells
visit to Tulare was the fact that he
was introduced to many OF the mer-
chants by one of the delegates to the
Republican convention at Santa Cruz,
M c. Zumwalt. who said to Bell: Two
thirds Of the Republicans of Tulare are
going to vote for you for Governor
When he left Tulare at O'Clock Bell
said that the interviews he had had
with those whom Zumwalt and others
that the estimate was correct
There are lot OF good Republic

STANDARD OIL AND BELL.
vIsALIA. Sept 2s-E. E. Bush. who.
together with Tim SpelIacy, owns the
Hanford Gas Works. claims that the
Standard Oil is working with the
Southern Pacific against the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor He saws:
We own oil in Coalinga which we
intended to use in the Hanford Gas
Works, but we found that the rail-
road could not be depended upon to
furnish the cars. We then entered
into a contract with the Standard to
sell them our oil at Coalfnga for Is
cents and buy II back In Hanford at
45 cents. After that we had no
trouble getting cars. The freight rate
Is 10 cents, so you can see what We
paid for the privilege OF getting the
cars when we needed them. Now,
since we have taken an active part in
the campaign for Bell the Standard
has cancelled our contract as far as
buying our oil at Coalinga goes, but
they are still willing TO sell US oil at
their figures at Hanford."

THOMAS DECLARES
WAR ON DALT T0N.
lOpponent of Republican
Nominee Charged With
Favoring the Corporations
ENLIVENs CAMPAIGN

OAKLAND, Sept 28.-Ffrst blows In
what promises to be the big fight OF
the county campaign have been struck
by Charles e. Thomas, the Republican
nominee for County Assessor, who has
charged Assessor Dalton, his opponent
with favoring corporations to the
detriment of small property-owners.
AS Dalton has made his campaigns on
the cry OF opposition to the corpora
tions. Thomas utterances have en-
livened the political atmosphere a bit
Thomas also declares his purpose to
Hood Alameda County with facts and
figures drawn from the assessment
rolls, from which he intends to argue
that Assessor Dalton has shown much
discrimination In favor of the heavy
property-owners, notably the bankers
Candidate Thomas initial fling al
Dalton was taken last night at q Re-
publican meeting at Sunol. He said:
In Berkeley the richest corporation
OF the town is the Berkeley Bank OF
savings, which is assessed by the ToWn
Assessor and the County Assessor sep
arately
In 1905 the Town Assessor assessed
the building of the corporation at S5Q,-
co. Which Int sotais slsS RlSSRss M
The county Assessor cut the 100000
building assessment down to $4,000,
just in half, and the personal property

the Town Assessor at $4,000. to $11.-
500.
Now, the president of that one insti-
tuition himself admitted that the bank $
personal property was valued at $lS2,-
000. So you can see for yourself the
amount saved this corporation by the
County Assessor, who claims to be the
poor mans friend. But that is only
one corporation in one town in this
whole county. I would not say this
If had not been accused by my oppo-
.nents of being supported by some cor
porations In my fight. In the Repub-
lican convention / was backed by a
district not controlled by corporation
influences, while the railroad district,
Nthe Forty-ninth, voted solid for the in
cunbent.
During the campaign you will re-
ceive a statement which is being pre-
pared which will show you many in
stances of the sort of assessment I
have quoted.
The Union Labor party will hold a
mass-meeting at Hamilton Hall, Thir-
teenxh street, near Jefferson, tomorrow
night. C. w. Petry and other candi-
dates will speak.
