MEETINGS IN NEARBY PLACES

Although Theodore A. Bell, Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, was
called suddenly north Sunday night
by an urgent message, his itinerary
was covered yesterday by Timothy
Spellacy, the nominee for lieutenant
governor, and a number of other
state and county candidates, who
made the trip in the afternoon and
spoke at the towns where Mr.. Bell had
been expected to deliver addresses.
The party left Los Angeles at
o'clock and made the trip to the
Soldiers home, Sawtelle, Lanker-
shin, Glendale and San Fernando in
automobiles. Accompanying Mr.. Spell
lacy were his brother, Peter Spellacy;
Councilman Martin Betkouski, Hiram
A. Blanchard, nominee for clerk of the
supreme court; John F. Murray, secre-
tary of the state central committee;
Lorin A. Handley, nominee for con-
gress of the Seventh district, and w.
T. Harris, nominee for sheriff Of Los
Angeles county.
Notwithstanding the advance notices
sent out earlier in the morning by
telephone, announcing that Mr.. Bell
would be unable to appear the party
was met by a large and enthusiastic
crowd at every stop. At the Soldiers
home both Mr.. Spellacy and Mr.. Hand
ley were accorded an enthusiastic well
come, and the veterans at times were
demonstrative in their appreciation of
the real issues of the campaign. Mr..
Spellacy III particular seemed to inl=
press the old soldiers with his earnest
ness and sincerity. The meeting in
Sawtelle was equally successful.
HANDLEY TALKS TO VETERANS
Iorin A. Handley, Democratic nomi-
nee for congress from the Seventh dis
trict, in the speech he made at the
Soldiers home, said, in part:
II believe this people and this gov
eminent should show every considera-
ton to the man that volunteers his
life for the nation. Our veterans
should be clothed and sheltered, and
they should be provided with good.
wholesome food, and plenty of 1t.
believe that a pension of one dollar a
day should be granted to the few sur
vivors Of that great war. Your num-
bers are fewer every day, your physical
powers are impaired, and because of
the excessive cost of living, one dollar
day is little enough for your per-
sonal convenience. We want to do
everything in our power to make your
latter days comfortable and happy.
But this must not be understood
as a canceling of our great debt to
you. We can never pay that debt, but
l for one want the remaining heroes of
this great struggle to know that
younger America appreciates their
service. And want that appreciation
now, before the last call comes to you
all, for the few years that remain to
you. When you respond to that call
and close your eyes in eternal sleep,
I want you to go with not only vision
Of a united country but also with
vision of a grateful people"
