There are two things that must be
constantly borne in mind in the admin

economy in the interest of the tax
payer and the proper treatment of the

partisanship eliminated from these
places. If ! am elected governor of
California this fall, | shall make 1T

tions from the peTnicious influence of
selfish politicians.

undoubted right to repudiate derelict

SPELLACY'S ADDRESS

tenant governor, who preceded Bell,
said in part-
Democrats, republicans and fellow
citizens-I address you in this way to
give everybody a chance to get into
our band wagon. The democratic party
has for years been battling for prin-

republicans have deserted their party
because IT has become so corrupt, and
have tried to get on our reservation.
The republicans are espousing exactly
the same principles that Mr.. Bell and
the democratic party preached through
out the state of California four years
ago / feel that every citizen in this
