Tseeciol Disp0ich 10 The Call
!: LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2s.-Fifteen
speeches were made by Theodore A
!. Bel and Timothy spellacy in their
: swing around the kite shaped track of
: the. Santa Fe today Bell became more
personal in his remarks than at any
: time heretofore in his controversy with
his republican opponent, Hiram w
Johnson. at Riverside, when he spoke
cof Johnson as follows:
!: My opponent is q good criminal law
ger. BY birth. training, temperament
-; and the habits Of a 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 man
:. ner 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
and has not received that experience
for putting into effect those policies
that concern our entire people. This is
not said in spirit of disparagemen
but rather will l submit that l am
handing 10 him beautiful floral
piece"
RETURNS To CHARGE
charge that Johnson had only one Issue
in this campaign and that was the
kicking of Herrin out of the politics
OF the state. Bell said:
MY insurgent opponent has abso-
lutely no word OF comfort for the great
body OF tax payers of this state. My
republican opponent has no word OF
announcement for the men and women
that are striving to build up and de-
velop the state OF California You men
down there with the Johnson buttons
. on, II there are any around here, step
% out and tell me one single policy that
Mr.. johnson stands for at the present
time. Has he got one friend in this
audience? Step out have two min
,. utes; and viii give. you a minute and
"a half TO tell me one single policy that
- Hiram johnson stands for outside of
Kicking Herrin out of the politics of
, California I am waiting for an an
Swer-a lot of you are going TO vote
, for him Answer that. Not a single
one Does he tell the parents of this
, state that he will protect them from
.: the-textbook monopoly? No. Does ne
j.. tell .the tax payers that he will get rid
of waste and extravaganza, and con-
p duct his administration economically?
No. Not a single thing except 10 Kick
:. Herrin out. and how to kick Bell out.
: LISsyER ATTACKED, TOO
:. There was also an attack on Meyer
: Lissner Of Los Angeles. chairman Of
the republican state central committee,
*sinl: the address at Redlands, where Bell
:. charged that Lissner was most fearful
Of losing the patronage Of the state Of
fees and institutions. Said Bell:
I'VE have waited in vain for my op-
ponent TO declare what his attitude will
be toward the public institutions OF
California I challenge him to pledge
hiHlself to the removal of those insti-
tutions from the spoils system. 1t is
: apparent that Boss Lissner does not in
tend to let these institutions get out
of the political game If Johnson is
elected. for they will have to rely upon
the patronage Of these places to perpet-
uate their faction in the republican
party. This means that the present
gross waste and extravaganza in our
expenditures will continue No one can
dispute the fact that until our public
institutions are placed on nonpartisan
basis there can not be retrenchment
and economy in the disbursement of cur
public funds"
Bell also advocated the voting of
b. SIS 900 600 for the Panama-Pacific expo
sition 10 be held in San Francisco in
3 1915.
