Following the meeting at South
Pasadena Mr. Bell addressed the mem
bers of the Old Hickory club, and a
large number of prominent Republi
cans constituted a considerable por
t nn of the audience at Highland Park,
where his address was received with
much enthusiasm. Mr, Bell delivered
an address in Conaty hall In Bast Los
Angeles, and addressed two mass meet-
Ings at Chutes park.
The mass meeting ai Chutefl park
was presided over by Milton K. Young,
Robert o. Loucks, judge A. L Steph

Mr. Sell's appearance at the hall
about 8:80 was the signal for an out
burst of cheers which lasted tor some
momenta, ami he was for I to bow
liis recognition, again and again.
The Incident of presenting the hick
ory cane offered ;> pleasant bit of by
play, and then Mr. Ball passed to a
Seep and earnest discussion, In his
edoquent way, of the vital Issues of
this state. Holding his audience spell
bound by his sincerity and evtdi m
deep conviction, Mr, Hell spoke as a
man profoundly dlaturbed by the po
litical Iniquities of the day, and whose
protest against than was one of the
strongest aisotlona of his heart.
CALM ATTENTION TO AOB
The speaker began by calling atten
tion to the fact that he cannot be
held to l>i! a very old man, being but
,t already he has devoted, he ex
plained, half of his life to the service
ate, both at homo and in the
halls of congress. "As soon as J had
a voU\" said he, "I began to think for
myself." Thla sledge-hammer state
in.in. simple as It was, caught the
listeners with singular force, and
backed by. lull's impressive person
ality, emphasized by his uplifted hand
und his commanding voico, compelled
instant attention: and a profound
hush fell over the great throng, as
men and women instinctively realized
that before them was a man, a think
er and an orator.
Then, in short, clear, emphatic style,
the speaker proceeded to outline what,
in his opinion, are the present-day ur
gent political deficiencies and neces
sities in California.
"What the people are demanding and
to which they are entitled, and ought
to be given, is an administration clean,
decent and honest, and after that an
economical administration; and after
that a progressive and constructive
administration—and if we can begin
this step in the right direction, !t

i The speaker agreed, he said, with
! hi« honorable opponent that clean gov-
I eminent Is the first essential. Any
obstruction to such government ought
to be set aside, Thus, and thus only,
will the state bo anabled to go for
wan": but Mr. 801 l Insisted with im
pressive earnestness that no man had
the right to assume that because others
did not agree as to mean that th«
Others were necessarily wrong and
that the objector was alone right.
BRINGS 1.01 APPLAUSE
This brought loud applause, for it
was clear that the veiled irony was
directed at Candidate Johnson's in
creasing tendency toward vituperation
of the Democratic nominee during the
closing days of the election.
Passing to pay Ids respects to the
insurgents of California, Mr. Bell
branded 1 them as under a leadership
that has shown narrowness and bigotry
seldom surprassed In this state. The
speaker then proceeded to tell, in iron
ical way, how the California insurgent
forces hud shown intolerable vindlc
tlveness and narrow-mindedness, but
had at the same time, not revealed any
constructive plans—bent on to destroy
without building anew. Man after man
has been read out of the party.
Then, referring directly to Hiram
Johnson, Mr. Bell charged the Repub
lican nominee with beginning his work
of disintegration by reading President
Tuft out of the party, then passing
here and there through the state and
added hundreds of other names—but
all this while, as Johnson was reading
them out of the Republican party, 801 l
w.is Liringing them to the Democratic
party.
Referring to Johnson's rising anger
and recent exhibitions of public anger,
Bell saiU:
"It reminds me of Grant's words,
'Lose your head, lose your cause." As
lor myself, I always think when some
body sots up a groat roar, that some
body is getting a mightly good licking,
which he has long deserved." This
saiiiv brought laughter and applause.
Candidate 801 l then submitted his i
record to the voters of Los Angeles, he
said, and was willing to ab!de by their
sense of justice and he contrasted his
16 years of personal devotion to the
cause of the common people to the
brief and purely perfunctory Interest
of Johnson.
REVEALS CONGRESS RECOUP!
Mr. Bell urged >.... a guarantee of the
faith the fact that for four years as
congressman, he had fought single
handed for the citrus growers of
Southern California; and his seven
congressional colleagues, from this
state, had sat silent in their seats when
Bell raited any exposure of the iniqu
ity of railroad domination in Califor
nia. Mr. Bell, with earnestness
avowed that he had slnclehanded
fought Herein at that time, and had
no cause to love him since. .
The speaker at this point passed to
one of the Impressive momenta of his
long, eloquent and at times thrilling
address. With the Impassioned zeal of
one whose heart beats for his fellow
man, the forgotten member of every
community, and with the Insight of one
who has searched deeply Into our na
tional political weaknesses, Bell sum
marized this part of his thought in a
passage on "special privilege.", begin
ning by calling attention to the pres
ence in America of Immigrants from all
parts of the world, driven here, he ex
plained, because or special privilege In
their respective lands. "And I say to
you, my friends, If you do not fight to
destroy this monster of special privi
lege which has crept into your own
government, surely It will destroy you."
Referrllng then to the decline and fall
of other republics, the speaker traced
their downfall not to outside foes but
to foes within, special privilege, or as
ho put it, "They rotted at the core."
These Impressive words, spoken with
all the earnestness he could command,
and In his great orotond voice, rang
through the hall and held his hearers
spellbound.
' EQUAL BIGHTS STANDARD^
And then he rapidly led ■up to his
favorite doctrine, "Equal rights to all;
special privileges to none." This, he
declared was his standard, and upon
it he would rely for victory In the com
ing election. On the doctrine of equal
rights,- Mr. Bell, in eloquent phrases
and with strong conviction, Impressed
upon his hearers that In case he were
elected governor it would be his great
obligation to see that the humblest
working man In the state was held be
fore the law equal to the greatest mil
lionaire. Tl»is sentiment struck a re
sponsive chord in the great crowd, and
long and continued applause followed.
Mr. Bell, discussing the matter of j
burdensome taxation; pledged himself
that our state Institutions should be
kept out of politics, "out of the spoils
system." The audience was with him
in this sentiment to a man, and It was
some moments before the deafening
applause subsided.
The speaker then urged as his last
word retrenchment and reform, and
also entered a strong plea for business
prosperity for a Greater California;
indorsing the bond Issue for a Panama
canal celebration, In which the whole
state should join, from north to south.
Referring again to the attacks made
on him by Johnson, Bell declared that
he would treat them with contempt.
The references to his early boyhood's

liome in the mountains, to his father —
the old man now in his 80s, who had
worked so hard to bring up a large
family—and to boyhood ambitions to
! succeed in life in spite of the fact that
nt 16 he had to leave school; his strug
gles for an education and his ambi
tions to sorve his fellow citizens in a
public career—all were closely listened
I to by the large audience, and the evi
| dent sincerity of the man telling these
1 intimate personal facts about his rise
from obscurity and poverty made an
| excellent impression of Bell's sincerity
! and fighting manhood. Here are some
j of the things he said of himself:
XBIXI PERSONAL HISTORY
"My father was a mechanic on
i Mare Island and I was brought up
| with few of the luxuries and often
| missed many of the comforts. At 16
j I had to leave school for good, and I
I shed tears, but after that I took my
book! to the field, and studied there,
with the ambition to gain an educa
tion; and as lime passed, I read and
studied and have tried to acquaint
myself with the best books in the
world; and I have done all this be-
Cause I have had an honorable am
bition to succeed in life, and to serve
Imy fellow citizens, In office. I have
! kept myself free from all taint of cor
■ porate influences, I have not asked the
slightest favor of public service cor
porations, and considering my record
for 16 long years in the service Of the
people, I do not consider it unrea
sonable if I now ask the people to en
trust mo with the powers and respon
sibilities of the highest office in the
state."
At the Highland pnrk meetiig,
earlier in the evening, both Mr. Bell
and Mr. Spellaey spoke. Other speakers
were Messrs. W. T. Harris, candidate
for sheriff; Handley, for congress: I
Hunstherger, justice of tlie ponce, and
Charles Johnson of the Hickory club j
presided. Attorney Gardner presided
at the South Pasadena meeting.
