Pursuing the same scurrilous tactics

dore A Bell closed campaign that
will live as the most memorable in
the political history of California
campaign that has held national inter-
est for eight months.
That campaign was fought out on a
single issue; the issue that has been
dominant in California for a quarter OF
a century. but which was never given
into the hands OF the people until they
secured the direct primary election
law. The people have the determine
ton of that issue in their hands now.
1t has been presented to them in a
manner that left no room for doubt, no
excuse for mistake.
By Largest Plurality
1t is because os these facts and be-
cause have faith In the common hon
esty, good faith and common sense OF
the people that 1 believe Hiram W.

Johnson has made a wonderful per-
sonal campaign. but it has been per-
sonal only in the physical sense He
has not appealed for single vote for
Johnson the candidate. He has ap-
pesled for votes for the issue. the prin-
ciples he represents and is pledged to
make governmental realities. For more

For eight months he has kept a Iiv-

character Never has he sounded a
false Anote. Never has the lust for
votes caused him 10 still the cry to
arms in the cause OF free government
by and for a free people. Johnson did
not sound one battle cry in the great
