ON THE PACIFIC SLOPE
Result Uncertain in Approaching
California Election.
[By Telegraph to The Tribune

By Telegraph 10 Inc IrlDune-l
San Francisco, Oct. 29-The approaching
state election is exciting much interest be-
cause of the uncertainty OF the result.
Normally California is q Republican state
by from 5000 TO 100000 plurality. This
year, however, there are grave doubts
whether Hiram Johnson, the Republican
nominee. will be able to hold his own
against Theodore Bell, the popular Demo-
cratic candidate. II Johnson wins IL Will
be because the Southern California coun-
ties roll UP such big majority that Bell
cannot overcome it in the north. The
cause Of Johnson's weakness is due partly
to strife and soreness IN the Republican
ranks and partly TO BelTs popularity.
Alden Anderson and Charles E. Curry
were the two Republicans who polled the
largest vote against Johnson. The lincoln
Roosevelt League put UP Johnson and ran
him on an insurgent platform and he car
ried the state In the direct primary by a
large vote Now, when Il comes to the real
election for Governor many insurgents
will vote for the Democrat, as they be-
lievs Johnson would be controlled by the
old 1arty bosses should he win
The platforms of the two parties are
much the same and both candidates claim
to be the only sinon-pure reformers who
yearn to kill the activity OF the Southern
Pacific Company in politics. AS the rail-
road company was enectually killed by the
primary election. all these TRADES against
the Southern Pacific Company's manipula-
ton Of state politics are out OF date. What
should be looked out for is the election OF
honest Senators and Assemblymen to the
state Legislature. for It is through the
Legislature that the railroad company
would attempt to regain its old grip on the
state government.
