Los Angeles herald., 1910-08-08

Albert M. Norton, chairman of the
Los Angeles county Democratic CEN
tral committee, yesterday received the
foregoing telegram from Robert De-
Witt, chairman of the Democratic state
central committee, confirming the fore
casts of results made by the Demo-
cratic leaders of Los Angeles.
In a letter received from John f.
Murray, secretary of the state central
committee, last week, Mr.. Murray
stated that there is every prospect Mr..
Bell will be the next governor.
His election seems assured" said
Mr. Murray, because there can be no
longer any doubt that the Republican
party is divided into two absolutely
separate and distinct organizations,
neither one of which can tolerate the
other, and neither one of which will
abide by the successful candidates of
the other. If Curry is nominated the
Johnson forces will vote for Bell, for
their issue is anti-machine, and they
prefer a clean Democrat to a Republic
can of Curry's type.
IF Anderson is nominated, as seems
scarcely probable, the Johnson forces
and a large percentage of the Curry
fled there is a real and not a sham diff
ference between the campaign Of An
derson and the campaign Of Curry, and
that they represent two bona fide fac
tions of Republicanism, which will not
jibe.
$50 far as Stanton and Ellery are
concerned, they are entirely out of the
race. Neither one of them ever had
the ghost of a chance, and In the north
it is commonly believed they were
both put into the race to help defeat
johnson.
ut is conceded here that Stanton will
poll a considerable vote in Los An
geles, but he will not get enough to
count north of the Tehachapi.
ENCOURAGING ADVICE

great many compliments on the Los
Angeles Democracy every day. AS

conjunction with the Good Government
organization there, and nominating
only clean and competent men, so we'll

the Republicans, and If the good gov
ernment Republicans of Los Angeles,

coin Roosevelt league, are familiarized
with your work and kept informed as
to what you have done to clean out
