are being formulated for the California

While Bell was holding an informal

noon Colonel D. G.. Collier, the director
general Of the San Diego exposition
whisked Spellacy off to Tia Juana in
his automobile for a diversion from po-
litical activity.
VIEW EXPOSITION SITE
Both candidates were shown the
magnificent exposition site during the
day and were highly impressed with it.
Bell and Spellacy held a meeting to-
night in Germania hall. Eugene E.
Capps presided Particular interest
was manifested in Bells remarks re-
garding the exposition and the i'm
provement of the local harbor.
The harbor of San Diego should be-
long to and be controlled by your city
in trust for the people, said Bell. I'm
my opening campaign address 1 de-
clared unequivocally in favor of i'm
proving the harbors and waterways of
California. They are the common con-
Germ of all the people of California, and
If elected governor I shall approve all
appropriations which the legislature
may make for the substantial improve
ment of San Diego harbor
You have demonstrated your ap-
probation of the solidarity of Califor-
MIA interests without reference to sec
tional lines by your generous aid and
cooperation in the proposed worlds
fair at San Francisco. You have shown
the right spirit, and it will rebound to
your credit and benefit. I am doing all
I can to promote the San Francisco ex-
position and to secure the passage of
the constitutional amendment that will
permit all property in the state to con-
tribute on an equality toward it.
PLEDGES STATE ASSISTANCE
You propose to hold an exposition
here at the same time I proffer you
my assistance in your very laudable
undertaking You are going to spe-
cialize certain features that can best
be handled here. You may rely upon
me to cooperate with the legislature
in the work of securing substantial
state recognition of your project.
CONSTRUCTIVE POLICY
1T must appear from some of the
addresses made by my opponent that
it is impossible for a man to stand
for both political freedom and indus
trial progress in California. After
we have eliminated all special privi-
leges and compelled the railroads and
other corporations to rest content with
an equal enforcement of the law we
are just ready to do something of
constructive character for the state. It
is well enough to tear down, but we
can not rest content with that. We
must go ahead and build up, and that
will be my policy if 1 am elected gov
ernor of this state"
Bell and Spellacy will leave tomor-
row morning for the night meeting to
be held in Santa Ana.
