TAFT REPUBLICANS WILL JOIN
DEMOCRATS IN ORDER TO
DEFEAT ROOSEVELT.
A RENEGADE REPUBLICAN"
Los Angeles Republican County Gen.
trail Committee Denounces Third
Party for Complicated Election Law
AID sEIl Vote for Wilson.

New York, Oct 23.-Taft republi-
cans N California, joining hands with
he democrats, will give that state
to Governor Wilson in the November
election, according to Rudolph Spree
kles, head of the Wilson National
Progressive Republican League. who
has just returned to this city from
the Pacific coast. Mr.. Sprecles bases
lis statement on reports received
from all sources in his state during
visit of ten days. So fearful are
the third term party leaders of losing
the state that Governor Johnson has
been called home to take the stump
in hope of winning back some of the
vanishing votes.
The situation in California" said
Mr.. Spreckles, "looks highly promis-
ing for Governor Wilson, ana every
thing points to a triumph for him on
November 5. The republican ranks
have been split wide open as the re-
suit of the fight between the Taft
leaders and the third term party
forces. Governor Johnson's attempt
to build up machine of his own to
further his selfish ends is also the
cause of strife. Naturally, the better
element of Californians of both par
ties resent his att ,mpt tc restore boss
rule after they worked for years o
destroy it,
Taff RanuhItrana MaA
Thousands of Taft republicans
have made up their minds to vote for
Governor Wilson because they bitter
ly resent the passage of the present
complicated election law passed by
the last California legislature, which
practically excluded from the official
ballot the Taft and Sherman eectors.
Everywhere in the state protests are
being made against this law, the re-
responsibility for which rests with
the governor and his associates. Re-
Gently in Los Angeles the republican
county central committee adopted a
resolution declaring the action of the
renegade republican Roosevelt trick
sters of the last California legislature
entities the perpetrators of the vii
lany execration of all honest citizens
of whatever political faith
This resolution urther advised
that republicans vote for Wilson elec-
tors in order to defeat Roosevelt"
