JOHNSON INVADES
ANDERSON'S CAMP
Candidate Is Received With
Cheers in Stronghold of
His Opponent
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

lOPCCtdt ItsPQtCH 10 i ne SdHl
VACAVILLE, April 2s-After a jump
of more than 100 miles from Willows,
the Johnson party invaded Solano coun-
ty, the stronghold of Alden Anderson.
An enthusiastic reception was given
the candidates, delegation imme-
diately taking charge of them and es-
corting them to private homes, where
they Will spend the night.
The meeting tonight Is said to have
been the largest ever held here. The opera
house-has 500 chairs down stairs and
a gallery. Every seat was taken and
the aisles and lobby were crowded. The
speeches were loudly applauded, Hiram
Johnson being Interrupted time after
time by tumultuous cheering. He said
in part:
This is no year for glittering gen
eralities and easy platitudes. Every
candidate who will appear before you
will, of course, be in favor of good
roads, material prosperity, the adj
Vancement Of the state and the square
deal. This is the old ordinary cam
paign claptrap, and simply clouds the
issue. The question is how do you
stand, Mr.. Candidate, on the para
mount issue of this campaign? Is
the Southern Pacific behind you? Is
1T making your fight. or are you on
the side of the people? If he prevari-
Gates, or If he wobbles or evades, then
you, as Californians, as Americans, as
patriotic citizens, should not give him
your suffrage"
Referring to San Francisco, Johnson
said
It's rotten government can not be
laid at the door of the labor unions,
but is the result of big business and
the banker in alliance with the political
boss and the tenderloin. The greatest
enemy of this republic today is not
the thug or the inhabitant of the ten
derloin, who have the brand upon their
faces, but it is the man in broadcloth
who hires them to do the things which
he is too big and cowardly to do, and
who skulks behind his cloak of re-
spectability."
With an appeal to lay aside petty
pride or sectional jealousy Johnson
brought his speech to a. close amid a
great demonstration.
c. j. Uhl, large fruit grower and
the town trustee. who received the
highest vote at the last election, acted
chairman of the meeting. On the
platform also was Senator Frank Dew
lin, one of the most prominent republic
cans of the county, who insists that
Johnson will carry the county. In this
town the Johnson club doubled its
membership tonight, because of cards
signed at the meeting. 1t now numbers
more than $50.

to his mother at once, and I wrote to
my parents, explaining the circum-
stances"
Following the impromptu wedding

In Memoriam

"The loved of the Lord die young, y
In the death of Mary Grace Hill the
Angel of Death has gathered a pure,
young soul into the Heavenly Father s
home, and has left desolate on earth,
what was an ideally happy family.
Blessed with bright intellect, and a
disposition of purest gold, all who
knew her loved her-her sweet, unset
fish thoughtfulness of others being q
marked characteristic. Under the
loving watchfulness of a mother, truly
fitted for the happy task, her nature
blossomed into a personality of unusual
strength and beauty of character in
one so young. Highly educated under
the gentle influence Of her Alma Mater.
Georgetown Convent, her naturally
deep religious beliefs became her guide,
her joy and every act of her young life
was thereby influenced. The tears
and heart breaks of our sorrow are yet
too binding and benumbing to let Us
lift our eyes above her new grave, but
when resignation shall with her gentle
hand draw aside the heavy folds that
veil the face of Providence, then with
uplifted hearts we realize that God
knoweth best" and that she is not lost
to US, but only gone before, and that
the same loved face transfgured shall
await US on that fair shore more beau
tiful, more precious than before.
"My Lord has need Of these iowerets
gay"
The Reaper said, and smiled;
Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where He was once a child.
"They shall all bloom in fields OF light,
Transplanted by my care,
And Saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear.
And the Mother gave, in tears and
pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should ind them al
again
In the fields of light above.
