the strongest Of the republican can
didates, viii be elected. In order to
prevent voters from Pumping for any

good government ticket straight"
AROUSE ENTHUSIASM
Glowing reports Of the success of the
democratic Bel-Phelan special We're re-
ceived at the democratic state head
quarters yesterday. The following
telegram, received from Senator J. B.
Sanford of Ukiah. one OF the spenbind-
ers on the train, viii give an idea of
the brand Of enthusiasm which is most
popular at headquarters:
MADEIRA, Oct 27.-Lodi and Stock
ton meetings were record breakers
San Joaquin valley ablaze with en-
thusiasm. People wait hours for spe-
cial The special was an inspiration.
Modesto. -TurlOck, MERGED and MADEIRA
gave US ovations. Many republicans are
for Bryan. SANFORD"
Tim Spellacy, former chairman of
the democratic state central commit
tee, came up from Los Angeles yester-
day with the declaration that the
southern republicans would not reach
the Tehachapi with a plurality of $4,000,
or with any plurality at all He be-
lieyes the two parties will break even
in the south. That being the case,
mOdesty apparently forbade him to say
what would happen in the north, but
the remark was hazarded in his pres
ence. without contradiction, that the
north has always been democratic"
sPELLACY'S TIDINGs
Speliacy says that it is a ridiculous
eNaggeration for the republicans to
claim Los Angeles county by 10000
plurality. But he brought worse It'd
ings still. and when he sprang them at
headquarters the light of joy went out
of many happy faces and gloom reigned
Tor at least 10 seconds.
If Taft is elected" declared Spellacy
oracul8rly, 4 believe that Macaulay's
prophecy viii come true You know
that Macaulay prophesied that the des-
potism OF the money power would
eventually wreck our republican gov
eminent It's Coming with Taft, if Taft
is elected"
Gloom gave place to renewed joy,
however, when Spellacy's hearers de-
cided to remember that the election of
Bryan was certain. Just to infuse
gayefy into the assemblage John w
Sweeney declared that Bryan would
carry this city by $4,000 plurality, add
ing 1900 TO his last prediction TO show
he is a good, optimistic democrat
General Gilman, mayor of Colma, was
one Of the bourbons who heard Spell
lacy's Macauiay talk. The general
doesn't take much stock in Macaulay,
but Just to show that his heart is in
the right place he declared that Colma,
with a voting strength Of 800 would
give Bryan a plurality of $50. He
added that Hall Ross would get a small
plurality in san Mateo and would be
beaten in Santa Cruz Ross is running
Tor state senator. Gilman added that
Judge Bucks election was assured.
