IS APPLAUDED AT IS TOWNS
Trip Over Shaped Track in
Citrus Belt Proves Tri-
umph for Nominee

by about $50 of his closest friends.
Worn to the point of physical ex-
haustion from the hard campaigning
of the last few days, he slept like a
babe between stops, stretched out Ill
seat i'm the chair car. When he was
not sleeping he was reading extracts
from recent speeches of Hiram john
son, who but recently went over the
same ground. In his recent speeches
he has said but little about his oppon-
emit, except to point out that the
charges made by Johnson against him
were without foundation, but at RlV-
erside. where he made one of the long
est speeches of the day, he SAID In rel-
erence to Johnson:
my opponent is a good criminal law
yer. BY birth, training, temperament
and the habits of lifetime, he is spe-
cially fitted for that kind of work.
These habits have become so fixed that
he is now conducting his campaign for
the governorship in the same manner
that he would try a criminal case. II
elected governor of this state he Will
not be able to change his nature. He
has not been trained to public life ana
has not received that experience for
putting into effect those policies that
concern our entire people. This is not
said in a spirit of disparagement but
rather will l submit that am handing
to him a beautiful floral piece"
FIRST STOP AT ARCADIA
With the entire party in the highest
spirits and Bell as cheerful as he could
we'll be with his eyes heavy from loss
of sleep, the Bell-Spellacy special
pulled out of the Santa Fe station at
SIS yesterday morning. through Pas-
adena went the special with banners
f1ying from the sides of the cars ana
attracting wide attention. No stop Tor
speaking was made at Pasadena. Inc
first stop was at Arcadia, but 1t was
early in the morning when the spe-
cial reached there and the crowd was
small, but Bell made a short talk ana
shook hands with his audience. AT
Azusa, the next stop, there was a
marked increase in the size of the
crowd and the enthusiasm. At least
200 people heard Bell at Azusa and
presented him with a box of oranges
the first Of this years crop.
At San Dimas the special was met
by a crowd of equal proportions, ana
as the day wore on and the threat or
rain disappeared the crowds grew
larger and larger. At Upland, san
Bernardino, Redlands and Riverside
the largest crowds met him, and all
except Riverside heard him from the
observation end of the train. AT
Riverside special provisions had been
made. Bell and Spellacy, with other
members of the party, were taken by
tallyho to Eighth and Myrtle, where
he spoke to about 600 people. This is
the very heart of his opponents terri
tory, but still there seemed to be
many Bell men in the city.
SPEAKS IN THE DARK
It was dark when the special reached
Fullerton. but the 800 people or more
who had gathered to hear him would
not be disappointed. He was taken
to a small park beside the railroad,
where he delivered a ten minutes talk.
It was too dark for his audience to
see his face, but they heard his words
and understood his forceful delivery.
At Anaheim he was taken from the
train to a hall that had been hired
for the purpose and followed by a pa
rade of autos. He spoke to one of
the largest crowds of the day there.
The speech at Santa Ana finished the
days work, and the special returned
to Los Angeles at midnight.
Bell will spend the entire day today
in resting and recuperating for his
swing around the northwest part of
the county Monday. His last speech
is at San Fernando Monday night,
and he will Immediately leave for the
north to finish his campaign.
