funct California Safe Deposit and

FIGHTING FOR STAFFORD
Vigorous Campaign in Behalf oi
Democratic Nominee Is
Being Waged

John I. Stafford, Democratic nominee
for assennblyman in the seVenty-fourth
assembly district, is making a vigorous
campaign and many of his loyal
friends are working hard in his be-
half. One of the energetic persons who
is campaigning for Mr.. Stafford is
John e. Murray, secretary and treas
urer of the Illinois Association OF
Southern California. He has sent out
to the members of the association a
letter of which the following is
copy:
Dear sir: We desire to call your at
tention to the candidacy of John /.
Stafford, candidate for the office of
assemblyman in the seventy-fourth
district
"Mr. Stafford is a lawyer with Of
fees at 727 H. W. Hellman building,
he is a native of Illinois; was educated
in Illinois and Indiana, and admitted
to the practice of law In the courts
of Indiana, Illinois, and in the federal
courts of the United States in 1895,
and practiced law at Vandalia, Illinois,
six years. He had a post graduate
course in law at Columbia, Mo, in
1903 and 1904 and was admitted in
Missouri He has been resident of
California moro than six years and has
a wide acquaintance in the San Joa-
uuin valley where he resided before
locating in Los Angeles.
Like many of the Illinois people,
Mr.. Stafford is making every effort to
secure the assistance of the Illinois
delegation in congress to bring the
great Panama canal celebration to
San Francisco.
eve recommend that Mr. Stafford be
elected to the legislature of California,
because, as one of California's legis-
lators, his influence with the Illinois
congressman and other Illinois celebri-
ties for their support for San Fran
cisco will be greatly augmented.
1--WE have made all reasonable in
vestigation into the standing and repu-
tation of Mr.. Stafford and find him
we'll supported; and we have no hesi-
fancy in recommending him as one
possessing all material requirements
for this office and one who will reflect
credit upon our organization.

BELL CAPT|vATES
OAKLAND VOTERS
Theater Packed with EnthuSi-
astic Persons Who NoiSiIy
Cheer Candidate
Especial o The Herald)

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 3.-Theodore
Bell was given one of the most re-
markable ovations of his present cam
paign by an audience of more than
5000 persons which jammed the Idora
Park theater in Oakland tonight
When Bell, turning to former Mayor
Taylor, who presented him, made a
solemn personal pledge that he has
made none of the machine affiliations
into which he has been accused of
entering, the audience rose to its feet
as one man, men embracing each 9TH
er, throwing their hats into the air
and crawling toward the platform to
grasp the speakers hand. AS the re-
suit of the demonstration, the Demo-
cratic leaders are claiming Alameda
county, always considered a strong
hold of Republicanism by big ma
jori.y.
In his address Bell answered a ques-
ton put to him this morning by
morning newspaper. The newspaper
questioned him concerning the H. H.
Brown bank failure in Calistoga, I'M
putting dishonorable conduct on Bells
part in serving as Browns attorney
Bell replied that he had served as
Browns attorney, but showed that his
client had been dismissed for lack OF
evidence and made telling point or
the fact that he had not received
stolen money for his fee, emphasizing
the personal pronoun.
Bell dealt directly with the issues of
the campaign, and declared for the
freedom of the school system from poll-
tics and the freedom of the state gov
ernment from machine domination.
'T have devoted nearly twenty years
of my life to this fight, and l am not
through yet" he said. %When but
mere boy 1 took up the cudgel against
the influence of the Republican ma
chine in the community affalrs OF my
native state, and that same battle is
where stand today.
my opponents, conducting a cam
paign of villifcation, are tearing at the
honorable career that l have bullt up
during that time. They ask me SUR
ring questions concerning it when they
find it absolutely impossible to answer
the questions that l have put to them
regarding Hiram Johnson and his con-
nection with certain matters.
Dramatically he took the EXTENDED
hand of DR.. Edward Robson Taylor,
dean of the Hasting Law college and
reform mayor under the ant1-gratt re-
gime in San Francisco, who acted as
chairman of the meeting. The scene
brought the crowd to its feet ap-
plauding. ~,

The night meeting concluded DAY

tic crowds greeted them everywhere

journed to the sidewalk. They greeted
the paraders with cheers and waved
banner bearing the legend:
Votes for Women"
Their cheers were echoed by the un-
ionists and many of the men called
out:
1--WE are with you"
At the same time ]. Stitt Wilson,
socialist candidate for governor, with
a party of his friends, was on the
opposite side of the street. Mr.. Will
son Joined in the cheering and assured
the suffragists that he and his party
are with them in their fight to secure
the ballot.
At the meeting later Mrs. Clara
Shortridge Foltz submitted to the club
a brief digest of laws now on the Cali
fornia statute books which she had
been instrumental in having placed
there. These laws are important as af-
fecting the welfare of women through
