the republican nomination and that the
anti-machine republicans generally and
Hayes immediate following partieu-
larly will knife Dawson for the demo-
cratic nominee.
HOPES BASED ON DIVISION
AS a matter of cold fact, seven out
of every 10 democrats who explained
his belief in democratic success at the
Los Angeles state conference based his
hopes on similar situation arising
with reference to the state ticket.
The reports received at the Los An
geles conference convinced a great ma
jority of the democrats that Curry would
win the republican nomination. They
freely expressed the belief that if
mated the great majority of the
Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers would sup
port Bell at the general election polls.
Some of the democrats at the confer
ence were so cocksure of their opin-
ions that they had prepared lists of
the republican newspapers that would
be supporting Bell after the primary
election. None, however, pretended that
he had any direct assurances of sup
port from the editors of the news
papers included in the list of alleged
party secessionists.

L. r. Garrett of Los Angeles, field
manager of Phil Stanton's gubernato-
rial flight, is peeved over what he con-
siders the maliciously inspired report
that Stanton is in poor health. Gar
rett was the secretary of the anti-race-
track gambling league of Los Angeles,
which helped make the fight for the
Otis-Walker law. He is in San Fran
cisco hunting for good news for Stan
ton. A minimum of glad tidings would
content Garrett and Stanton. They be-
lieve they need only slight support in
the north, but they wish no northern
voter to be bamboozled by the report
that stanton is going to be pulled out
of the fight because of illness or for
any other old reason.
1 have known Stanton for 25 years"
said Garrett "and 1 can not remember
"a II, Il
is now. We are in this fight to stay
The people of the south are with us and.
we believe we will have friends enough
in the north to land us winners"

vote to negative all positive railroad
legislation; neither Is 1t to take the
Southern Pacific program for the pur-
pose of receiving some political posi-
tion my subsequent reward; neither
is it to sell out my vote on each meas
ure for specified consideration as
has been the custom by many previous
legislators; and neither is it my pur-
pose to introduce cinch bills against
the Southern Pacific company, or any
other interest, for the purpose of being
