STOCKTON, May 4.-Hiram Johnson
concluded his campaign in San Joaquin

al Ripon at s o'clock.
r. A. Dickson, associate editor of the

son party yesterday at Tracy. He sized
ZAP the situation as follows:
After a careful observation of the
meetings both here and at Tracy my
opinion is that the sentiment is strong
FOR Johnson in San Joaquin county. We
ind things very gratifying. We had
heard San Joaquin county, especially
the west end, was a Curry stronghold.
I feel that If the meetings at Tracy and
at Stockton. from the standpoint of at
tendance and the enthusiasm shown.
are any index 10 the sentiment of the
county, Johnson will set as many votes
in San Joaquin as all other candidates
combined.
1T is q peculiar fact that San Joaquin
county, while il gave Roosevelt a ma
5ority of 2.2Os in 1904 and Taft ma
5ority of 1.l3s in 1903, gave Theodore
Bell a majority OF 314 in 1906 1 be-
lieve the Bell vote was directly due
10 the resentment Of the republican
voters of San Joaquin county over the
vicious control Of the republican party
by the political bureau of the South
ern Pacific and that the republicans of
this county voted against the Santa
Cruz convention nominee to give ex-
preston TO that sentiment"
