An Olu-ldSnlOnSu rally, OIL Ine klnu
that used to characterize Democratic
land Republican campaigns, but which
has not been seen in Los Angeles for a
number of years, has been proposed by
the Democratic leaders here for the re-
ception Of Theodore A. Bell, the Demo-
cratic nominee for governor who will
speak in Temple auditorium next Sat-
| urday night at o'clock.
Pyrotechnical displays, skyrockets,
noticed -transparencies, a big brass
band, torches and banners will be fea-
lures of the rally and reception if the
| plans of a number of the leaders are
adopted as urged yesterday. The brass
band has been engaged, and this fea-
ture of the old-time rally, at least, is
assured.
Harry Speas, the publicity chief of
Mr.. Bells campaign in northern Cali
| fornia, announced late yesterday that
| 1t is planned to make Mr.. Bells arriv-
| al here one of the biggest events in the
| local campaign, and the rally, If ar
ranged as now intended, will be a
! genuine "old Missouri affair calculat-
ed to arouse many memories of other
! days, when brass bands, sawdust, red
! fire and husky yells constituted an in
teresting part of every campaign.
n RoUsING SPEECH PROMISED
"Bu after the rally" said the pub
| licity chief, ''the people are going TO
! get another kind of Democratic dem
onstration that will be revelation of
| the popularity and strength of our
| standard bearer, Theodore Bell. He
has promised us one of the most rous-
| ing speeches of his entire itinerary,
| and everyone knows what Mr.. Bell
means when he says rousing.' He
woke California up four years ago as
| few candidates had ever done prev
! iOnc1U and ia ic In friT IN do CO
again, only with the added ability that
has come from long familiarity and ex-
| perfence with audiences and issues.
Mr. Bell has written to us that he
| is looking forward eagerly to his visit
here. and while he much prefers that
there be no banquet, or social or fra
| ternal reception of any kind, owing to
the urgent demand on his time, he
deeply appreciates the feeling that has
been manifested by the Los Angeles
! Democracy which, as we informed him,
| has been clamoring for two weeks for
an opportunity to demonstrate its ap-
proval of his candidacy, and Of his
courageous resumption of the battle
that made him famous.
CONFUSION ABOUT DATES
Some little confusion, of which we
are very sorry has resulted from the
| fact that we first announced that Mr..
son auditorium, and unfortunately
many of the suburban and country
newspapers, which will not have time
to correct the mistake, have published
| announcements to this effect. We urge
| that the fullest publicity wherever pos
sible, be given to the change. which we
deemed necessary to accommodate the
crowd. Remember the time and place:
Temple auditorium, Saturday night,
September "a"
Mr.. Bell is now on his way, by auto
mobile, from San Francisco. He ad-
dressed two meetings yesterday, one at
Watsonville and another at Salinas,
which latter place he will leave at IL
o'clock this morning on his way to
Los Angeles, stopping only to make
speeches at Santa Barbara, Ventura
and Oxnard. He will give up his au-
tomobile trip at the latter place, and
come on to Los Angeles by train at
11:40 o'clock Saturday morning, arriv-
ing here at 2:30 p. m. Saturday
Mr.. Bell will remain in Los Angeles
all day Sunday, leaving here Sunday
night, over the Santa Fe, at 1850, ar
rivlng in San Diego at 4:40 Monday
morning. He will address the citizens
of San Diego at a rather unusual hour
$3.50 in the morning-but that has
been made necessary, 1t is stated by
the northern itinerary and the fact
that he has inadvertently lost one day.
since beginning the campaign, which
prevents him passing any longer time
in the southland on the present trip.
He has promised, however, to return
later on, before the general election,
with his next itinerary so arranged for
the southland that he can make sew
eral speeches both i'm Los Angeles
and San Diego.
SOUTHERN CITIES TO HEAR
Mr.. Bell also is scheduled to speak
at Santa Ana, Corona and Riverside,
during his first southern tour, and an
attempt on the part of his manager to
cancel the date In one of these smaller
towns, so that Mr. Bell could address
the people of San Diego in the after
noon, or at night caused such pro-
test that 1t was necessary to conform
to the original itinerary, as arranged.
There has been quite a protest from
San Diego, notwithstanding, as the
time set for Mr.. Bells speech there
is so early in the morning that hun
dreds of persons who are anxious to
hear him will not be able to do so.
The fact that his engagements have
been crowded in so close together, as
result of the lost day, has led to
the request that banquets and social
and fraternal meetings be eliminated
from the southern program. This has
Ottn a GREAT W bhO
Democratic leaders here, who were
planning a big reception and banquet
at Levy's cafe, at which Timothy
SpelIacy, the "oil king and Democrat
ic nominee for lieutenant governor,
Who resides in Los Angeles, was to
have been one of the guests of honor,
with Mr.. Bell.
Some of the most prominent oil men,
who are keenly interested in Mr.. Spell
lacy's candidacy, it is said. and who
wish to honor him as the nominee from
Los Angeles. are planning for a ban
quet to be given In Mr.. Spellacy's hon
or sometime in the near future. 1t
had been hoped that this banquet could
be given before the arrival of Mr..
Bell, but as Mr. Spellacy is now in the
oil fields, and will not be back until
September 23 or "a, the plan has been
abandoned.
