Southern California Democracy we car
get. We also find out eastern visitors
here who wish to talk to us.
I'VE have thirty members who were
Republicans. We do not call ourselves
Bryan club but Democratic club
and we say to the Republicans In
Highland Park and elsewhere, Come as
Democrats, not as Republicans. We
don't propose to give UP one inch of our
Democracy
I'VE don't stop at that. We have the
names of all registered Democrats In
the First, Second and Third precincts
and also those who do not register
their affiliations. We sent them no
tees, assuming that every Republican
in Los Angeles county who does not
register as such is a Democrat.
1--WE have brought many men to the
court house to be registered.
Need Democratic Supervisor
1.-THE Democracy has gone on record
that it needs clean business men on the
board of supervisors. A Democrat is
needed on that board to see where the
money goes
After reading this mornings news
papers and seeing how the bonds were
sold in secret, can any one doubt that
q Democrat is needed on that board?
1--WE don't antagonize Republicans.
Rather we pat them on the back and
tell them to come to us. l have found
that where we appeal to the people
of higher intellectually we get the
readiest support.
I'VE have already engaged twenty
automobiles for November to work
among the polls for the Democratic
ticket"
Then, apologizing to the chairman,
Mr.. johnson introduced Candidate Yoa-
KUN of the Seventy-fourth assembly
district, the man whom Highland Park
wants to send to the legislature.
I'VE have been working to get out
the full VOTE" said Mr.. Yoakum.
Expect Republican Support
"In the First ward we expect the
unanimous support Of the Lincoln
Roosevelt wing of the Republican
party.
I'VE also have the support of two
Republican newspapers. The editor of
one was the candidate for the assembly
on the Republican ticket and was de-
feated in the convention, but 1 know
his sympathies are with u.s."
Richmond Plant moved an adjourn
ment here to the hour Immediately
after Mr.. Bell concludes his evening
address.
A. D. Warner objected to waiting till
evening, and appealed from the decis-
lon of the chair on parliamentary
points, being unanimously voted down
in his objections.
Stephen Long of Long Beach thought
perhaps 1t would be better to adjourn
TILL Saturday, as many of the out-of-
town delegates would be Obliged to
catch early cars or trains and could not
remain till after Mr.. Bells talk.
Mr.. Warner, resenting the action of
the gathering in rebuking him, walked
out by himself.
The motion to adjourn till evening
carried few minutes later by a vote
of 3S to 10.

! DEMOCRAT LEADS in
SENATORIAL CONTEST
Santa Barbara Was Granted Right of
Choice at Last Election, and
Honor Is Now Conceded
to Ventura
Special to The Herald

| Special to Inc Herald
SANTA BARBARA, Sept. S.-Thom-
as Rice, well to do rancher of OK
nard, Ventura county, who for years
has been consistent member of the
Democratic party, has the lead for the
nomination for state senator from this
and Ventura counties, and it is be-
lieved by party leaders of both coun-
ties that he will have no opposition at
the joint convention to be held in this
city next Saturday.
The Democratic convention of this
county, by a resolution adopted at the
time of the county convention, con-
ceded the right to Ventura county to
nomination for state senator. The Re-
publican voters OF Ventura county
claimed the right to name a man from
their county this year, for the reason
that Santa Barbara county had the
honor of selecting the senator at the
last election. This right was con-
tested by the Santa Barbara Republ-
cans, and by n plurality of two votes
they ignored the wishes of the sister
county and nominated a young attor-
ney, L. Fl. Roseberry of this city.
This action has caused general dis
satisfaction in the bean county, and for
this reason it is believed that the cleo
ton of a Democrat will be assured
this year.
w. e. Shepard. san old-time Demo-
tura, was mentioned for the place, but
in a letter received in this city yester-
day he states that he has withdrawn
in favor of Rice, and adds that the
nomination of Rice will meet with fa-
Vor in his county.

turning toward the once despised doc
trine of reciprocity that Blaine urged
in vain.
Mr.. Bell asked pointedly what kind
of campaign contribution Mr.. Taft
wanted since he had been indefinite
and dilatory on details, and had toyed
moreover, with the appointment of a
man at No. Wall street as the Re-
publicans' campaign treasurer.
81 didn't get a look-in at Treasurer
Sheldon's office when 1 was in Wall
street." said Mr.. Bell; "I merely got
look-at."
At this point Mr.. Bell intimated that
Mr.. Taft would find his recent practice
in fly casting at Middle Bass island
useful when he made the journey UT
Salt river and called attention to the
fact that the Ohioan had suddenly for
gotten what he said about the folly
of holding a porch campaign and
had decided to make Pullman car and
every other kind of a speaking cam
paign without delay.
GAS the drift of sentiment goes for
Bryan, even in California, we begin
to note that Mr.. Taft shows signs OF
life," said he.
Eat last vindication has come fol-
Mr.. Bryan. Once accused of crime fol-
talking from the tail end of trains
we now hear that Mr.. Taft, too, is
talking that way and threatens to
come out even as far west as Cali
fornia. to invade the doubtful states.
"And want to tell you that every
state north of Mason and Dixon's line
is a doubtful state" he added
(Cheers.)
Taft at the Photograph
Mr.. Bell dealt with the phonograph
as campaign issue. He said Mr.
Bryan had consented to talk into the
machine with the stipulation that the
profits should go to the Democratic
campaign fund. At once no was ac-
cused of aiding monopolies, because
the photograph was owned by a big
company. "What Mr.. Bryan said in
those cylinders could spring only from
sentiments born in the heart" said he,
land Mr.. Taft saw the result of the
work. He, too, is talking in phono-
graphs now. With him it is me too
once more"
Mr.. Bell told a few congressional Sc
crets, explaining how a coterie of five
men control the Republicans in the
lower house of congress, Messrs. Cam
non and Sherman, Taft's running mate,
being the leaders.
"You send man to congress from
the Seventh district to represent you. I"
said he. HE does no such thing. The
first thing McLacblan does is to go

THEODORE A. BELL, leader Of Cal

" HEODORE A. BELL, leader Of Cal
ifornias Democracy, temporary
Il chairman of the Denver conven-
ton and the man who announced to
Mr.. Kern his nomination as vice presi-
dent, addressed several hundred men
and women last night at Turner hall.
Prior to the meeting big love feast
was held in the hall. Men shook hands
and exchanged reports Of the campaign
which were highly fiattering to Mr.
Bryan's followers. The lobby was filled
with committeeman from various
points, and the opportunity for inter-
change of thought was most advan-
tageous.
The hall was simply decorated with
in draping the stage, rostrum and bal
cony.
Mr.. Bell entered the hall flanked by
Chairman Albert M. Norton of the
county committee, and Thomas e. Glib
bon, chairman of the evening, loud
cheers marking their progress to tbs
stage.
Mr.. Gibbon introduced Mr.. Bell as the
man who would have been governor OF
California today had not the Southern
Pacific machine, in its infamy, placed
puppet in the governors chair-a man
selected at a dinner in Washington by
the railroad interests long before the
people ever thought of him as an ex-
ecutive.
Mr.. Bell spoke till nearly II o'clock,
trying repeatedly to bring his remarks
to close, but being urged to go on by
the audience again and again.
The first outburst of cheers prompted
Mr.. Bell to say that it almost made
him feel like wanting to run for office
once more.
When he contrasted language now
used with that employed in previous
campaigns, showing that Mr.. Bryan
was referred to formerly by the Re
publicans as too bad man to be
president" while today the great
spokesman of the party, such as Gov
ernor Hughes and Senator Beveridge,
refer to him as ''an idealist and a
dreamer" thus terming him too good
for these days, there was much laugh
ter.
an heavens NAME" remarked Mr..
Bell, "why don't they tell us at what
point Mr.. Bryan passed the line of too
bad and too good to suit them2"
No prosperity" Talk
The speaker called attention to the
thoughtfulness and consideration
shown by the Republicans in not once
using the word prosperity" or the
phrase full dinner pail'' in their plat
form or letters of acceptance, and also
to the manner In which they were

DEALS WITH ALL THE LIVE
ISSUES OF THE CAMPAIGN

About 300 enthusiastic supporters of
Bryan gathered at Banks hall at Nor
mandie and jefferson streets last night
where a meeting was held under the
auspices of the Southwest Democratic
club. The speaker of the evening was
Prof. H. T. Kirk of Minneapolis.
Prof Kirk dealt with all the live
issues of the campaign and his speech
was a source of inspiration to the
Democratic workers of that district.
Banking problems, the railroads and
the trusts were discussed during the
course of his remarks.
The Southwest Democratic club is
one of the most flourishing organiza-
lions for the promotion of the success
of Democracy in the city.

DECKMAN OF OIL STEAMER
GOES VIOLENTLY INSANE

Special to The Herald
SANTA BARBARA, Sept. 9.-Thom-
as Daily, a deckmaa OF the oil steamer
Rosecrans, was committed to the in
sane asylum today. Daily shipped from
Portland just as the steamer was pre-
pairing to get under way from that
port for Alcatraz, in this county. The
man exhibited eccentricity, and Satur-
claring he saw cattle and sheep run
ming over the ocean.
During his Authorizations he endeav-
ored to throw himself into the sea, but
was overpowered by a deck hand after
a desperate struggle, and was locked
up in the cabin. There he was kept
until the steamer was docked, being
brought to this city by a deputy

his power then and there.

walked out again because l. refused
to stand for Cuban reciprocity which
would have dealt a fatal blow to the
beet sugar interests Of California.
Whatever that little bunch in con-
gress programs the Republicans follow

In conclusion Mr.. Bell asked the Re-
publicans in the audience to forget for
once their party and vote to GUST such
men as Transue, Stanton and other
machine-ridden legislators.

Sioux City, Oct. 10.-With the picture
of his sudden death imprinted deeply
upon the minds of his friends, and
while an aged mother sat in her dark
ened home, mourning the loss of her
youngest son, Silas S. Glenn, identified
by his brother, Warner, as the MAJ who
ended his life by hanging himself to a
skylight in the Hiawatha hotel in this
city on Sept. 26, walked into his boy
hood home at Knoxville, Ia, Wednes-
day evening and greeted his parents
and brothers, after an absence Of two
years.
Since Warner Glenn returned to his
home with the sad news that it was his
/, brother who committed suicide in the
Jackson street hotel at Sioux City, the
little town in Marion county has Won
dered why Silas Glenn should have
ended his life. The aged father and
mother, his brothers and friends, We're
stricken with grief, and since Septem-
Der IS, when Warner returned after
Identifying the suicide as his brother,
a greater part of the population has
mourned his death.
Mrs. Glenn, whose gray hairs have
turned white since she learned of the
death of her boy. Silas, was alone in
her little home in Knoxville Wednes-
day evening, refreshing the memories
of her dead son's boyhood days. She
was waiting for her husband and sons
to return from their work. The front
door opened and a man entered. For a
while she paid no attention to the ar
rival.
When the woman turned her head
toward the door, she was amazed,
stunned, and for a time unconscious of
the fact that her son, whom she
thought dead, stood before her. Recov-
ering from the shock, the aged woman
seemed to be rejuvenated, and she
leaped from her chair into the arms of
her boy, whom, after two years away
from home, was thought to have COM
mitted suicide.
In the meantime some Others moth
