RJID BLUFFS. 2=ept. 22.— Hiram W.
y~J«>hnson came over the border from
Fhasta Into Tehama this afternoon, and
hrre tonight, in the peat of a county
that "Rent for Theodore Bell four year
siZTo. held the greatest political meeting
in the city's history. The handsome
theater of Red Bluff was filled with SOO
persons, and for an hour before the
rally hepran the main street of the city
was ablaze .with red fire, dynamite
bombs were fired at minute intervals
and a band played continuously before
the Tremont hotel.
TBe audience was not only the largest
that <*ver has been brought together
here to Jist?n to any political speaker,
but it accorded the republican leader an
enthusiastic welcome.
APPLAUSE STOPS SPEECH '
Tehama county grave Johnson a big
. lead- over his republican opponents at
the. primary election and tonight the
people of this city gave the best of evi
dence'that they intend to repeat the
; performance in November. Johnson
\u25a0 talked for an hour and was interrupted
. time after time by the applause of. his
\u25a0' listeners. •
"The square deal" was the theme on
which Johnson tuned his speech and it
was the "square deal" for the people
that he for. : -
"I .might indulge in panegyrics on
the square deal." he declared, "and tell
you that as between the^people and the
interests we must give a square deal
to both.
SQUATtE DEAL FOR PEOPLE
"Every man believes in a square deal.
but let me tell you that no sane man
' will stay awake nights to devise meth
f" o.js to give a square deal to the Inter
<-sts that have dominated our goveVn
• ment for years. They -will look out for
that themselves. The thing we are
pledged to do is to give a square deal
t<» the people." r
Johnson, declared that he had only
the t:tmost respect personally -for his
opponent, but asserted that even if the
riemoeratic party was sincere in its in
tentions to carry out the same reforms
«nd stand on the same principles as
those to which the republican party
was pledged the reform must be
wrought by the dominant party and not
by "s party of negation and defeat."
WAV'S HKRRIX KICKED OUT
"I trast no prating in generalities
• «:>our s.juare veals and railroads," he
Fr.id. "I want to know if they are go
ing to hrw to the line as we are on the
Epecffic proposition of kicking- William
1". Hcrrin and the* Southern Pacific out
nf the government of the state of Cali
fornia."
Johnson spoke of the national sig
nificance of the progressive movement
in California and declared that a de
feat of the republican party in No
vember would not be a victory for the
democratic^party as a party, but a vic
tory for the interest opposed to the
. progressive movement, for he asserted
that every malign and baleful influ
ence and every reactionary influence
in the state is aligned behind our op
ponents. '
RI-ZPI *lILICA\S AXD REFORM
In conclusion he spoke at length of
some of the principles of constructive
reform embodied in the republican
t: tate platform.
M. J- Chcatham, chairman of the
. county committee, opened the meeting 1
tonight and introduced P.' H. Coffman
as chairman.

MACHINE DRIVEN DV SOX
Johnson declared that he felt "per
fectly at home again"' when he left
Redding at 10:30 o'clock this morning
\u25a0 in his own machine, driven by his son,
Hiram Jr.. and accompanied only by
the members of his immediate garty.
It was in this automobile that he made
his entire primary campaign, traveling
11.000 miles through the state and mak
ing hundreds of speeches. As he waved
farewell to the crowd that gathered at
the Lorenz hotel in Redding to see him
off. he declared that he felt that- he
was "really campaigning again.**
The Shasta, republicans would not let
the party standard bearer leave their
c/M;nty without escort, however, and
,/our automobiles accompanied him to
1 Anderson and Cottonwood, where he
iield his two daylight meetings, and
more than a dozen Redding men came
on to Red Bluff for tonight's meeting.
OPPONENTS TURN SUPPORTERS
The men who accompanied him here
included several prominent county
loaders who were opposed to him In the
primary campaign, but who have ral
.lied loyally to his banner and pledged
him an undivided republican support In
Shasta county in November.
The day's ridft was filled with little
incidents that told even more plainly
than the large attendance at the meet
ings of the general interest taken in
Johnson's visit to the north. At the
gates of half a dozen farm houses were
little groups of men and women, ap
parently waiting for his car to pass
in order that they might wave to him,
and at several places roadworkers and
• railroad gangs stopped work to shout
him greetings as he sped by. *
At a little country 6choolhouse be
low Redding a score of pupils were
gathered about their teacher In. front
of the building and cheered lustily as
the dust covered car. passed them.
STUDENTS AT MEETING
At the town "of Anderson, where the
first stop was made, a hall had been
provided for the speaking, ''and John-
Fon was escorted to the building fry a
crowd of citizens.' The high school was'
dismissed, at 11 o'clock and the entire
j body of students and teachers marched
AyA v to the meeting, at which there were
more than 150 present.' .
Johnson was introduced by C. ,<X
Kainline, who acted as chairman, .and
pMd the republican, nominee for gov
ernor, a glowing, tribute .of personal
praise. After Johnson's speech there
were brief addresses by. Alex" Gordon;
-. republican, nominee for railroad com

SQUARE DE AL TO PEOPLE
missioner from the first district, and
Judpre A. G. Burnett, candidate for re
election to the third district appellate
caurt, who have accompanied Johnson's
party since his state tour began"Tues
day at Eureka." . "V. ". ;
PLEA FOR PARTY PEAL.TV ' ' ""*
Johnson spoke briefly at Anderson,
but made a strong plea for republican
support on the ground tnat only the
dominant party could carry out the "re
forms and the constructive work - that
is ahead. He reassured his basic doc
trine of eliminating William F. Herrirr
and the Southern Pacific company from
the government of California and won
hearty applause when he alluded to
Theodore Roosevelt and Senator La
Follette as the two great leaders of the
nation wide movement looking to the
restoration to the people of the reins
of government.
Johnson lunched at Anderson and
then hurried on to Cottonwood for the
scheduled meeting at 1 o'clock. Despite
the long jumps from town to town and
the hardships encountered on certain
portions, of the road. Johnson has not
been so much as five minutes late at a
-single meeting' since his tour began.
Hie machine pulled up exactly to the
minute at the main, corner of the town
and the extreme southern portion of
Shasta county, and within 10 minutes
the whole population was " grouped
about that corner.
CHILDREN CARRY FLAGS i>• .
Just before Johnson climbed into his
machine to speak there came' marching
from a block away a procession of
school children, ranging in size from
the tots of the lowest grades to the
boYs and girls of high school age. The
procession was marshaled by the
teachers of the school and every child
in the lrne carried a small American
flag. The procession flled by Johnson
and then the children grouped them
selves about his. car and joined. their
teachers in three cheers for the repub
lican nominee for governor.
General W. D. Tillotson, district at
torney of Shasta county, who accom
panied Johnson's party from the time it
reached Kennet yesterday morning un
til it passed over the southern boundary
line of- the county just outside of .Cot
tonwood this afternoon. Introduced P. A.
Ross of # the republican county commit
tee, who^acted as chairman of the, in
formal outdoor meeting.
* Johnson referred with deep feeling to
the reception . accorded him and re
called the circumstances of his former
visit to Cottonwood, just at the be
ginning of the primary.campaign, when
he was given the most cordial welcome.
His speech from the automobile lasted
only 20 minutes, but was one of the
best he has made since the tour opened.
After the meeting Johnson was kept
busy for many minutes shaking hands
with those gathered about him.
Three- men approached him separate
ly, each declaring that he was a demo
crat but had- decided to vote the re
publican ticket at the election in No
vember. Johnson said goodby to the
members of the Shasta county, recep
tion committee, which has remained
with him since early, yesterday morn
ing, and left Cottonwood at 3 o'clock
for Red Bluff, arriving here, about, 4
o'clock.
General Campaign Planned
Much work was accomplished by va
rious- committees at » the . republican
headquarters yesterday.' It. seemed to
be a" day of committee meetings arid
each of these bodies went "into session
for hours. at a time to discuss fleld and
financial plans:
The" state committee is wbrkihg out
a general campaign .scheme to extend
to all parts of -the state. After the
meeting Meyer Lissner sent out the re
quest that all members and chairmen
of county committees throughout the
state should send their names and ad
dresses to the secretary of the state
committee at the earliest possible mo
ment. . - ; .'. . . . . |j
Plans are being made to bring all the
county committees into close working

VOTE FOR JOHNSON MEANS

Independ c ntn t s' Ballots % Will . v Best Promote
: 'j ' '\u25a0\u25a0 :• ; Reform by Eiecting^Republican
CHARLES WESLEY REED
.In* deciding who shall' be the next
gbyernor '.of'tCalifornia the hidebound
voter has no place. The "old
guard" .of Either party— the men who
vote for their party candidates whether
they are ygood, .bad or. indifferent — do
not. decide elections. CThe; pulling and
the hauling, the marching, , the ; bonr
fires, the , speech making' arid ali;'the
strenuous work that goes, on under the
name of a\ political campaign,- are not
for the old . liners; they .are so much
party merchandise packed in party
-packages and stored in the party ware
house. Political' campaigns are, for the
benefit of the independent voter, the
patriot who votes for.*his- country's in
terest and never thinks'of his own. : \.':
It is the independent voter who de
cides elections. And it is -.to' gain his
vote that all' the arguments in' political
campaigns are usually^ directed.. -The
'independent voter is , becoming more
numerous.- Partisanship is no longer
so highly' esteemed as in the. past. Vot
ers are often ashamed to vote for bad
men simply- because, the bad., men are
nominated on their party ticket. It is
the day , of the independent voter — he
is coming into his own.' \u25a0 \"
HOW SHALL INDEPENDENT VOTE?
How should . the independent voter
cast his ballot in California -this fall?
How can he best serve, not himself, nor
\u25a0his party, but his state and his coun
try., No matter how much; he may
admire Mr. Bell — no matter how much
he may have confidence in his leader-
ship — the independent voter^rnust cast
his ballot for Mr. Johnson if he desires
to-^make his vote count heaviest for the
inoVal regeneration .of California. There
is a moral aspect to this campaign and
therefore a moral issue. Let, the inde

ests and the railrofed.". v
ALL. EYES ON * CALIFORNIA
•- The >yes of -the country have been
upon California during ' these' last "few
months. Eastern \u25a0'; newspapers' have
given much space to political condi
tions- in our- state.-' What would they
say if Mr. Johnson were defeated? They
would say^ that the railroad had won
out; that a drastic defeat had been ad
ministered to, the insurgents: that the
wheels of political progress in Califor
nia had been' turned backward. .And
what would the old republican "organ
ization" (God save the ' mark) doTJut
celebrate their victbryl Can one im
agine them swellings their chests arid
saying. ""The reformers would try to
run the party without us. would they?
We've showed, them' a thing^ or two,
Winning;, a; primary isn't winning an
election." "Next time they won't -be so
fresh." And the reformers" who have
tried to work great things for Califor
nia' _through the- Lincoln-Roosevelt
league,' the follo-m»rs of Theodore
Roosevelt, would certainly be cast
down' and unutterably discouraged.
PEOPI,E LEARN HOW TO VOTE
On the other hand,, suppose that
Johnson should be elected, with a legis
lature In sympathy with him.' The pro
gressive legislation that the reformers
have been working for so many years
would be realized. , It- is set forth in
both the, republican and democratic
state platforms. Johnson' with a har
monious legislature could secure the
passage of the necessary-bills.' Bell
with a hostile legislature would meet
with many difficulties that: Johnson
woijld not have .to face..
And how Johnson's victory would
hearten every patriot in the land! No
political mach!ne-,would be too impreg
nable to attack since Johnson had
smashed, the Southern Pacific political
organization that has ruled California
since the. railroad' was- built. The peo
ple are just' learning how to use the
ballo.t. By 4 meahs of the' direct primary
they i are smashing political machines
everywhere. In New Hampshire the
railroad machine was' smashed the
other day and the -progressive papers
there were encouraging the voters of
that state by telling them of Johnson's
victory here in August. The cause of
progress lieswith Johnson. It is Bell's
misfortune that such is the case. The
reactionaries in both the republican and
democratic parties are declaring for
him because they are against Johnson,
not because . they, think Bell 'would be
their man, but -because the defeat of
Johnson would be- a smashing blow
right between the eves of the followers
of Roosevelt.
These are some of the considerations
that lead me to say. that the indepen
dent voter, the. man who decides elec
tions and never profits by them per
sonally, the man 'whose political vision
is steadily fixed upon his country's best
interests.- will vote for Hiram Johnson
for governor of California.
