VOTE FOR JOHNSON MEANS
REGENERATION OF STATE
Independe Ballots Will Best Promote
Reform by Electing Republican
By CHARLES WESLEY REED

In deciding who shall be the next
governor of, California the hidebound
partisan voter has no place The "old
guard" of either party-the men who
vote for their party candidates whether
they are good, bad or indifferent-do
not decide elections. The pulling and
the hauling. the marching, the bon
fires the speech making and all the
strenuous work that goes on under the
name of a. political campaign, are not
for the old liners; they are so much
party merchandise packed in party
packages and stored in the party ware
house. Political campaigns are for the
benefit of the independent voter the
patriot who votes for shis country's in
terest and never thinks of his own.
1t is the independent voter who de-
cides elections. And it is to gain his
vote that all the arguments in political
campaigns are usually directed. The
independent voter is becoming more
numerous. Partisanship is no longer
so highly esteemed as in the past Vot-
ers are often ashamed to vote for bad
men simply because the bad men are
nominated on their party ticket. 1t is
the day of the independent voter-he
is coming into his own.
HOW SHALL INDEPENDENT VOTER
How should the Independent voter
cast his ballot in California this fall?
How can he best serve, not himself nor
his party, but his state and his coun-
try. No matter how much he may
admire Mr.. Bell-no matter how much
he may have confidence in his leader

General Campaign Planned

Much work was accomplished by va
rious. committees att the republican
headquarters yesterday 1t seemed to
be a day Of committee meetings and
each of these bodies went into session
for hours at a time to discuss field and
financial plans.
The state committee is working out
a general campaign scheme to extend
to all parts of the state. After the
meeting Meyer Lissner sent out the re-
quest that all members and chairmen
of county committees throughout the
state should send their names and ad-
dresses TO the secretary of the state
committee at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Plans are being made to bring all the
county committees into close working
order with the central body in prepara-

zen who wants to have the people and
not the corporations rule in the poll
tics of California-let such one ask
himself squarely the question: Whom
should I, as patriotic Californian, vote
for as my choice for governor? And
his answer will be: Il must vote for
the man whose defeat would please the
machine politicians, the special inter
ests and the railroad"
ALL EYES ON CALIFORNIA
The eyes of the country have been
upon California during these last few
months. Eastern newspapers have
given much space to political condi
tions in our state. What would they
say If Mr. Johnson were defeated? They
would say that the railroad had won
out: that a drastic defeat had been ad-
ministered to the insurgents: that the
wheels of political progress in Califor
MIA had been turned backward. And
what would the old republican organ
ization" God save the mark) do but
celebrate their victory. Can one i'm
agine them swelling their chests and
saying, The reformers would try to
run the party without us. would they?
We've showed them a thing or two,
Winning primary isn't winning an
election. Next time they won't be so
fresh And the reformers who have
tried to work great things for Califor-
MIA through the Lincoln Roosevelt
league, the followers of Theodore
Roosevelt, would certainly be cast
down and unutterably discouraged.
PEOPLE LEARN HOW TO VOTE
On the other hand, suppose that
Johnson should be elected. with legis-
lature in sympathy with him. The pro-
cCiU 1e ri
have been working for SO many years
would be realized. 1t is set forth in
both the republican and democratic
state platforms. Johnson with har
monious legislature could secure the
passage of the necessary bills. Bell
with a hostile legislature would meet
with many difficulties that Johnson
would not have to face.
And how Johnson's victory would
hearten every patriot in the land. No
political machine would be too impreg
nable to attack since Johnson had
smashed the Southern Pacific political
organization that has ruled California
since the railroad was built. The peo
pie are just learning how to use the
ballot. BY. means of the direct primary
they are smashing political machines
everywhere In New Hampshire the
railroad machine was smashed the
other day and the progressive papers
there were encouraging the voters of
that state by telling them of Johnson's
victory here in August. The cause of
progress lies with Johnson. 1t is Bells
misfortune that such is the case. The
reactionaries in both the republican and
democratic parties are declaring for
him because they are against Johnson,
not because they think Bell would be
their man. but because the defeat of
Johnson would be a smashing blow
right between the eyes of the followers
of Roosevelt.
These are some Of the considerations
that lead me to say that the indepen-
dent voter, the man who decides cleo
tions and never profits by them per-
sonally, the man whose political vision
is steadily fixed upon his country's best
interests, will vote for Hiram Johnson
for governor of California.

election to the third district appellate
court, who have accompanied Johnson's
party since his state tour began Tues
day at Eureka.
PLEA FOR PARTY FEALTY
johnson spoke briefly at Anderson,
but made strong plea for republican
support on the ground that only the
dominant party could carry out the re
forms and the constructive work that
is ahead. He reassured his basic doc
trine of eliminating William f. Herrin
and the Southern Pacific company from
the government of California and won
hearty applause when he alluded to
Theodore Roosevelt and Senator La
Toilette as the two great leaders of the
nation wide movement looking to the
restoration to the people of the reins
of government.
Johnson lunched at Anderson and
then hurried on to Cottonwood for the
scheduled meeting at l o'clock. Despite
the long jumps from town to town and
the hardships encountered on certain
portions of the road Johnson has not
been so much as five minutes late at a
single meeting since his tour began.
His machine pulled up exactly to the
minute at the main corner of the town
Shasta county. and within 10 minutes
the whole population was grouped
about that corner.
CHILDREN CARRY FLAGS
Just before johnson climbed into his
machine to speak there came marching
from block away a procession of
school children, ranging in size from
the tots of the lowest grades to the
boys and girls of high school age. The
procession was marshaled by the
teachers of the school and every child
in the line carried a small American
flag. The procession filed by Johnson
and then the children grouped them
selves about his car and joined their
teachers in three cheers for the repub-
lican nominee for governor.

torney of Shasta county, who accom-
panied Johnson's party from the time it
reached Kennel yesterday morning un-

formal outdoor meeting
Johnson referred with deep feeling to
the reception accorded him and re-
called the circumstances of his former
visit to Cottonwood, just at the be-
ginning of the primary campaign. when
he was given the most cordial welcome.
His speech from the automobile lasted
only 20 minutes. but was one of the |
best he has made since the tour opened.
After the meeting Johnson was kept
busy for many minutes shaking hands
with those gathered about him.
Three men approached him separate
ly, each declaring that he was a demo-
crat but had decided TO vote the re-
publican ticket at the election in No
vember. Johnson said goodby to the
members of the Shasta county recep-
tion committee, which has remained
with him since early yesterday morn

ENrERTA1Ns foUNe LADIES

Mrs. Frederick S. Nave entertained the Young Ladies club last evening at a handkerchief shower given for Miss Lydia Sparks, Q prospective bride, and one of the club members.
 The evening was very pleasantly spent in playing whist after which de- liciOus refreshments were served. Miss Van Wagenen acted as toast mistress and many excellent toasts were pro- Tosed in response to her calls upon the young ladies. They were not all ser ious ones and mirth ran high.
 Miss Sparks was the recipient of many dainty handkerchiefs and many articles made from handkerchiefs. She is very popular mang her girl friends and the beautiful gifts were but small tokens of their esteem.
 The entire evening was one of delight ful entertainment. Several musical se- lections were rendered by the guests during the evening.
 There were twenty-two young ladies present, including the following guests who are not members of the club: Miss Mitchell of Black Warrior, Misses Ger trude Vinton, Nora HeAey, Nan Pendle- ton, Josie Murphy and Anglia Robinson.

 Miss Douglas, as Nance OIden, the girl thief, is sufficiently charming to warrant the interest taken in her wei fare and the love she wins.
