To END CAMPAIGN
Democratic Candidate Scheduled
to Speak in Four South
ern Towns Today
TOUR DISPELS ALL DOUBT
Enthusiasm Throughout Citrus
Section Satisfies Standard
Bearer of Party Strength
TOUR DISPELs ALL DOUBT

Theodore A. Bell, Democratic can
dldate for governor, will close his
campaign in Southern California today
when he addresses the voters OF Saw
telle, Burbank, Lankershim and San
Fernando. Today's speeches by the
Democratic standard bearer will mark
the close Of one of the most successful
campaign tours ever made by a candi-
date through Southern CALIFORNIA;
tour the results of which will send the
Democratic gubernatorial candidate
back to San Francisco positive that he
will be able to at least split even in
this section-the insurgent stronghold
of the state-and possibly carry it. He.
said yesterday:
z'I am thoroughly satisfied with the
results of this, our last tour Of South
ern California, and I can state with
out the slightest doubt that, as d.
rect result of this tour the Democratic
party will carry at least one-half the
votes south OF the Tehachapi, II 1t
does not receive a majority-a fact
which makes positive my election.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA SAFE
Northern California never has been
in doubt I will come to the Tehachapi
with an overwhelming majority. But
up until recently Southern California,
the stronghold of the Republican in
surgents, was doubtful. This last tour
has swept all doubt from us; we are
positive of taking half the votes of
Southern California, which, combined
with the majority accorded us over
the rest Of the state, will give the
Democratic party the election by a
wide margin.
81 have been agreeably surprised by
the hearty reception rendered us
wherever we appeared in Southern
California during this last trip. In
the citrus fruit belt. supposed to be
the strongest districts for the opposi-
ton, Mr.. Spellacy and myself have
been received so heartily, our meetings
attended by such crowds and our
stated principles given such hearty
support, that I cannot belive but that
the citrus growers have come to the
conclusion that the Democratic nomi-
nees are the best fitted to look after
their interests and the best fitted to
protect them from the gigantic special
interests"
TRIP TO SAN FERNANDO
Mr.. Bell spent yesterday at his hotel,
resting from the hard trips of last
week and getting into condition for
the harder ones to come during the
next few days. Last evening he spent
with friends at the beach. He will
start out early this morning and visit
the Soldiers Home at Sawtelle, where
he will address the veterans. From
there his trip will be continued into
the San Fernando valley, and he will
make speeches at Burbank, Lanker-
SHIN and San Fernando.
The party will make the trip in
automobiles and will return to Los
Angeles this evening. Accompanied
by Timothy Spellacy, his running
mate, Mr.. Bell will leave at 1920 for
Hanford. He will address the voters
of that town tomorrow noon, and then
continue on to the old fields of Goa
linga and Maricopa, where he will
hold another meeting in the evening.
From Maricopa the Democratic candi-
date will go to San Francisco, where
the last few days of the campaign will
be spent.
