BELL COUNTS VOTE
BEFORE IT'S CAST
Democratic Candidate Thanks
Friends and Supporters for
Their Assistance
By THEODORE A. BELL.

My good friends and supporters have
won for me the greatest victory in the
history of the state. I claim no undue
personal credit for the magnificent vote
that will make me governor of my ma
tive state next Tuesday-it will come
as an Endorsement of the things that
1 have consistently and determinedly
advocated for many years.
Never can I forget the loyalty that
has been shown in this campaign, and
I can not command the language to
express fully my gratitude and appre-
citation. Nor can l adequately express
my deep esteem for that high minded
and big hearted man who is my run
ming mate, Tim Spellacy, and who has
attracted thousands to our standard
by his splendid personality.
We will carry from 45 TO As counties
in the state, and the counties found
in the opposing column will return
very small pluralities. If my oppon nent
carries the southland it will be by a
very narrow margin. My campaign
will close tomorrow night, and I am
pleased to say that have waged the
contest from its very inception in the
dignified manner in which a contest for
be conducted.
Our people are demanding a clean.
economical and progressive adninistra-
ton of their public affairs. They are
convinced that we can and will give
them that sort of an administration.
No amount of personal detraction can
change their conviction that If 1 am
elected governor, the political bureau
of the Southern Pacific company will
not be permitted to interfere in our
political affairs. They Furthermore
know that no form of special privilege
will be tolerated under my admins
tration and that the doctrine of equal
rights to all will be carried out in
practice SO far as it will be within hu-
man power to enforce it.
Behind my candidacy is the sound.
calm. judgment of California, and this
means a victory worth the winning.
I want this same dispassionate judg-
ment to be at my back during my ad-
ministration. To my friends can sim
ply say Il thank you" and this must
suffice until can, in more personal
manner. express to you my sincere
gratitude.
