BELL SAYS He, TOO,
WANTS HERRIN OUT
Johnson Can't Gust S. P. From
State Control Any Too
Soon to Suit Him
Opposes Railroad Because 1t Has
Been Exercising Special
Privileges

PLACERVILLE, Oct. 22.-Theodore
A. Bell, the democratic nominee for
governor, voiced his objections In his
several speeches today to the manner
of campaign that is being made by
Hiram Johnson. his republican oppo-
nent. He referred to the reckless
and almost insane declarations of
Johnson, in connection with the latter's
EFFORTS to make Bell appear as Her
rims candidate.
He wants to kick out Herrin and
so do l., said Bell He stops there
but go on. He stands only for de-
struction, while I favor political free
dom and industrial progress. I think
you VIII agree with me that my repu-
tation Is a complete refutation of the
vicious attacks that are being made
on me every night by my opponent"
HE'S AFTER HERRIN TO
"As regards the Southern Pacific
Hiram johnson can not run Mr. Her
rim or the Southern Pacific railroad
political bureau out of the state any
too quick or any too soon to suit me.
and, another thing he can't do it any
better than I can I will leave it to
you to decide who is the better able
70 do it-a man who has been practic-
have, or man who has been practic-
ing for only five months. NY grounds
for opposing the Southern Pacific are
not personal grounds, but I have op-
posed them because they have exer-
cising special privileges that have been
denied the people of the state"
WANTS QUERIES ANSWERED
Bell said that Johnson had failed to
answer his questions, as to why he
quit the graft prosecution in San Fran
cisco and took up the defense of J..
Dalzeli Brown, who wrecked the Cali
fornfa safe deposit and trust company
and brought misery upon 1880 men,
women and children.
