q tendinp to advocate Mr. Joseph H Call as Democratic can
- governor the approaching primaries is but
attempt upon the part of the of that
to do what he done the last gubcrnao elections in this
state tovit: knife the Democratic party
Eight years ago Franklin K Lane the Democratic standard
bearer would beyond question have been elected of
the of California had been that the treacery OF Hears
Francisco Examiner sufficient divert from him the votes
Of enough Of the more ignorant and eudced Of its readers in that
city to compass his defeat by small majority
years ago when Hon Theodore A. Bell the candidate
Of the Democratic party Of the state Mr. Hearst realizing Mr. Bell
great popularity with the OF his and also with the in
he opposed by only candidate Therefore this traitor to
Democracy third field and the
Langdon Doodedee candidate again accomplished the
through his local organ, is again
attempting deprive the Democracy of the OF its choice for
governor This time however apparent that Mr. Hearst has
spleen against which refused subject itself to domination
and accept him its candidate.
1t is notorious fact that since MI Hartman to the
h Hearst organs on the Pacific coast have completely
their attitude toward the Southern Pacific company and all its
ngy opposed the Southern Pacific and all its interests both poll
@ and in ISL & Sen a f g ab mas Or Def Southern P 9 Pac
interests in the columns OF either OF the Hearst papers published
Just Pacific machine has things that
desperately interested in accomplishing The failure to accomplish
either one OF these would mean costly defeat and the failure TO
accomplish both would mean utter destruction to it.
One thing that it achieve possible the defeat OF Hon
Theodore Bel Tor nomination as Democratic candidate Tor COVER
nor Mr. Bells antaoad machine attitude is we'll known and
Southern Pacific machine dangerous
the politics of California than this hghmnded able and
aggressive Democrat It of vital Importance that Mr.
eIs nomination should defeated for should nominated
than any other Democrat in the state would beyond any question
insure his election should the Southern Pacific machine
succeed in defeating the Roosevelt candidate the Re
publican ticket and in nominating man OF its own selection
The tactics by which IS proposed 10 accomplish this defeat are to
endeavor drag Mr. Joseph H. Call OF Los Angeles into the fight
believe may certainly relied upon that in good time third
candidate for the Democratic nomination entirely acceptable to the
hoped that with Mr. Bell and Mr. Call dividing anti
railroad OF the northern and southern portions OF the state be-
ern Pacific machine be nominated And he should not
be nominated believed that the friction which might arise in
the Democratic party between the Bel and Call forces would
suit in either one OF these gentlemen nominated polling less than
antarod candidate for and the possible nomination
m W H W S' boina 1ra"ed into tbe C1bcrnatora fgbt
field possible candidate for railroad commissioners
The Southern Pacific machine understands that the Democracy
Herald very anxious Mr.
Call stand for the Democratic nomination for state railroad com
missioner from this district We regard the election OF an honest
able railroad as quite as important ant as the election OF
OF having devoted much OF his time and ability to the study OF rail
road and of the laws governing them better qualified
I;os In common with he Democrats Of Southern California
indeed hoped that Mr. Call would
permit his before the people candidate for the Dem
nomination for member qi the % state board Tdi9ad eom
EXACTLY WHAT THE SOJTHERN PACIFIC POLITICAL
HAVE a MAN OF MIR CALLS KNOWI-

We sec therefore, that the efforts which the local Hearst
organ making drag Mr. Call the contest for the nom
inaon for governor Democratic party endeaVorng to
accomplish two purposes for the Southern Pacific
chine destroy the chances of antaoad Demo-
c being nominated by the Democratic party in the event OF
such candidate being nominated weaken him. and second
PREVENT MIR CALLS TAKING POSITION ON IHE
STATE BOARD OF RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS WHERE
IHE WOULD OF A CERTAINTY BE PERPETUAL THORN
I'M THE SIDE THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC, and where
lis also certain that his protect the people
Of the state from the unjust which being imposed upon
them by the Southern Pacific company
The in which the Los Angeles Examiner has enlisted
