johnson recalled the latter's Santa
Barbara speech Of October 5. 1905, in
which the present democratic nominee
for governor declared.
a
st the democratic convention and
placed myself on one side and Hearst
on the other. and I answer it is be-
cause Hearst is a traitor. Don't you
think that the democratic party ought
10 drive this man from its midst? Now
he is gone, and what becomes of him
IN the Empire state we will leave to
the good people of New York to decide
but never again can ". r. Hearst
cross the threshold Of the democratic
party in California.
Johnson read another excerpt in
which Bell declared that he would
rather go down 10 everlasting defeat
without Hearst or Herrin than TO vic
tory with either Of them"
And the man who said that four
years ago." commented Johnson, lis
the man whose fight for the governor
ship OF this state is now being made
by ". r. Hearst. Hearst was not to
be allowed TO cross the threshold of
the democratic party. but he has the
party in his pocket. And what want
you to think upon is whether a man
who has crossed the line to one of
these men viii not cross the line to
the other. If he has crawled to one
Of these men he termed the twin in
EQUITIES, viii he not also crawl to the
otber2
What I ask you to decide is whether
my distinguished opponent has per-
mitted any lure to office TO modify his
views or any reaching out after votes
to change his attitude. This you must
decide from his attitude and his
speeches Of four years ago, compared
with his attitude and his speeches to-
day When I criticise this attitude he
complains that / abuse him, but GER
rainly IL is not abuse to read a mans
own words from a verbatim report. I
am keeping entirely within the limits
Of legitimate forensic discussion
In referring TO the support given
Bell by the san Francisco Examiner
Johnson used the name of NJ r Tarpey
as a connecting link. He told of meet
ing Tarpey on a train at Fresno a few
night ago on his way south to collect
funds for the democratic campaign
and then pointed his inference by as
serting that Tarpey was the manag ger
OF the Hearst interests in California.
