BELL RUBS IT IN AND AUDIENCE CHEERS
STANDS UPON SAME PLATFORM OF EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL
Says There Is One Democratic Candidate for Governor and One Near-Democrat, and If Johnson Will Keep Up His Fight Democrats may Nominate Him for Governor In 1914—Charges Republican Convention With Adopting Democratic Planks—Tim Spellacy Speaks
Theodore A. Bell, democratic candidate for governor of California, addressed an enthusiastic meeting of several hundred people at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets Tuesday afternoon. Bell roused his hearers to enthusiasm, and he was many times interrupted with applause. At the close of his address, Col. J. O. Royer, who announced his politics as being that of a mugwump, proposed three cheers for the next governor of California. These were given with a will. Tim Spellacy, candidate for lieutenant governor, also tire world. It would mean much to the future welfare of the state, but would attract millions here from all parts of the world. Louisiana, with one-fifth the taxable wealth of California, had, he said, appropriated,$6,-500,000 from its public treasury in support of a fair to be held at New Orleans. The exposition should, he said, be held in San Francisco, and it was only by the endorsement of the people of the state that California could go to the national government and ask and receive such government aid as the project demanded. He did not urge his hearers as democrats to support the tax, but asked them merely to consider the matter in its true light and then exercise their best judgment at the polls.
He said California would in his opinion be in time the greatest manufacturing and industrial center in the world. We have the raw product here in abundance—cotton, wool and iron. We have the greatest oil producing centers in the world, and the climatic conditions are such that labor here can approach its fullest output capacity.
The opening of the canal would attract to our shores thousands of the pauper labor of Europe, and there would arise economic problems which should be dealt with with a states-
dressed an enthusiastic meeting of several hundred people at the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets Tuesday afternoon. Bell roused his hearers to enthusiasm, and he was many times interrupted with applause. At the close of his address, Col. J. O. Royer, who announced his politics as being that of a mugwump, proposed three cheers for the next governor of California. These were given with a will. Tim Spellacy, candidate for lieutenant governor, also spoke and made a good impression.
Bell arrived from Santa Ana shortly before 2 o'clock. He was accompanied by a dozen autos filled with enthusiastic democrats. He drove about town, and as he approached the meeting place, where a large crowd had gathered, Col. Royer limped out into the street with a sprained ankle, and blandishing his cane overhead, compelled the nominee to pause. Greetings were exchanged, and Bell and Spellacy were introduced to those in attendance.
Col. Royer introduced Bell as a man whom he knew personally, and knew nothing of him except that which was upright and honorable. He said he did not introduce Bell as a democratic candidate, but merely as a good citizen and former neighbor of whose friendship he was proud. As Bell arose in the auto to speak, Col. Royer said: "Governor Bell." Loud applause greeted the orator.
Bell complimented Anaheim upon its growth since he was last here, and said that it was entirely possible that he would one day be a resident of this city, for Col. Royer had told him that only in Anaheim could he enjoy life to the utmost.
Bell spoke for an hour, making one of the best campaign speeches ever heard in this city. He referred to his past record of sixteen years in public life as a consistent opponent to special privileges in the government of California, and said he stood precisely upon the same platform as on the occasion, 4 years ago, when he campaigned the state as the democratic candidate for governor. He believed also in constructive policies of government, and said he would if elected governor build up as well as tear down the political railroad bureau from dominating the public affairs of this state. He would if elected retire forever the Southern Pacific railroad bureau from political control in this state, and this policy would apply to the Western Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Salt Lake and all manufacturing and industrial center in the world. We have the raw product here in abundance—cotton, wool and iron. We have the greatest oil producing centers in the world, and the climatic conditions are such that labor here can approach its fullest output capacity.
The opening of the canal would attract to our shores thousands of the pauper labor of Europe, and there would arise economic problems which should be dealt with with a statesmanlike grasp by the chief executive of the state. Foreign capital would likewise be attracted here, and such safeguards should be thrown about this class as should be dictated by wise judgment subject to the interests of people of the state.
On the tariff he referred to his vote in congress, where he upheld the policy of protection for California industries, and reiterated his stand in favor of an adequate tariff on citrus and other products of California.
His references to his opponent,Hiram Johnson, roused the crowd to enthusiastic applause. He said there were two democratic candidates in the field for governor of California this year, or rather one democratic candidate and one near-democratic. If Hiram persevered in his anti-railroad fight, he (Bell) would move to make him the democratic candidate for governor four years hence. The democrats held a state convention at Stockton and adopted a platform. It favored the elimination of the railroad from political control. The republican convention did the same. It favored a non-partisan judiciary. The republicans did the same. It favored abolishing the political circle.The republicans did the same. It favored the referendum and recall. The republicans did the same. And finally the democratic convention did not indorse Taft, and neither did the republicans.
He had been fighting special privileges sixteen years. Johnson has just begun. Four years ago, when he preached this doctrine as the democratic standard-bearer, Johnson's voice was not heard in the land.
He said a man had told him in San Francisco the other day that if he had Tim Spellacy's smile he would be elected governor by 100,000 majority. He was sorry he could not take that smile away from Tim, but he and Tim had been traveling the state together for a long time, and had six weeks' more of campaigning ahead of them. They had eaten at

campaigned the state as the democratic candidade for governor. He believed also in constructive policies of government, and said he would if elected governor build up as well as tear down the political railroad bureau from dominating the public affairs of this state. He would if elected retire forever the Southern Pacific railroad bureau from political control in this state, and this policy would apply to the Western Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Salt Lake and all other corporations. He would see to it that their legitimate rights were not assailed, but he would also see that the government of the state would revert into the hands of the people, where it belonged.
His position upon coolie emigration was loudly cheered. The state could not pass an exclusion law, for that was the prerogative of the federal government, but he would if elected recommend to congress and would use all the powers of his high office to the end that a federal law be passed excluding for all time all Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Hindu emigration. He would recommend to the federal government, and would use the power of his office to see to it that a federal law was passed prohibiting a twenty-year-old Jap from sitting by the side of an eight-year-old American girl in the primary school.
He spoke at some length upon the coming development of the state consequent upon the completion of the Panama canal, and favored the constitutional amendment providing for a direct tax of $5,000,000 for the San Francisco exposition in 1915. This was, he said, to be an exposition of the entire state, and would be a show window where the products of the state could be shown to the enpreached this doctrine as the democratic standard-bearer, Johnson's voice was not heard in the land.
He said a man had told him in San Francisco the other day that if he had Tim Spellacy's smile he would be elected governor by 100,000 majority. He was sorry he could not take that smile away from Tim, but he and Tim had been traveling the state together for a long time, and had six weeks' more of campaigning ahead of them. They had eaten at the same table, slept at the same hotel, ridden in the same car, and drank at the same soda-water fountain. He hoped to acquire some of that smile—he hoped he could get a part of it, and if he could not be elected by 100,000 majority, he hoped his majority would be 50,000.
Tim Spellacy was introduced by Col. Royer in a felicitous speech and spoke briefly. He eulogized Bell, and said it was more important to elect him governor than to select Spellacy as lieutenant governor. Tim's smile caught the crowd, as he said he and Bell would make an excellent team at Sacramento.
Bell and his party went to Fullerton after the meeting. He also spoke at Orange at 5 o'clock and at Santa Ana in the evening.

It was a heart-breaking spectacle the Anaheim baseball fans were compelled to witness on the local diamond Sunday afternoon. Seven to one was the score, with the home team in the wrong column.
The Pecans of Los Angeles was the aggregation which did it, and the boys found them hard nuts to crack. Schneider, their pitcher, allowed only a few scattered hits, and struck out seven men.
Both teams played classy ball the first first two innings, and it looked like every run made would be earned by the hardest kind of labor, but in
MRS. KONIG FILES SUIT
Charges Henry Oelkers With Misdemeanor Embezzlement
Mrs. Wm. Koenig on Friday made complaint in Justice Pfelffer’s township court at Orange charging Henry Oelkers, nephew of William Koenig, with misdeamor embezzlement, in the sale of two bottles of wine from her winery, valued at $1.50, and neglecting to give her the money. Oelkers denies the charge. He admits selling the wine, but states the money was turned over to Mr. Koenig. He has retained Attorney Ames to defend him. The case will be heard by Justice Pfelffer at Orange on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 29. District Attorney Davis will prosecute the case.
Mr. and Mrs. Koenig are among the oldest and best known residents of Anaheim, having lived here upward of forty years. Mr. Koenig was one of the most successful wine-makers here, and the cellar is filled with wine that is upward of thirty years old.. He has not made any wine for more than twenty years. For some years past he has been in impaired health, and is physically feeble.
Henry Oelkers, his nephew, has been his inseparable companion for many years. He has been employed

Handsome Harold Moore, the big noise in the Santa Fe push next to Mr. Byrne, was in town a day or two ago looking for trouble. Moore purchased a ham sandwich at a corner grocery, and was beating it to the public drinking fountain to get a cup of ice water to go along with his midday meal, when he ran plump into the hoss editor on his rounds for a story. Every unmuzzled canine in town who knew Moore was here following at his heels, for anon he have a piece of ham at the pack and chuckled as they fought for it. He whistled at every passing purp, and had a fine collection at his heels when he reached the fountain.
“What’s all this about the bum
Monday afternoon. Seven to one was the score, with the home team in the wrong column.
The Pecans of Los Angeles was the aggregation which did it, and the boys found them hard nuts to crack. Schneider, their pitcher, allowed only a few scattered hits, and struck out seven men.
Both teams played classy ball the first first two innings, and it looked like every run made would be earned by the hardest kind of labor, but in the third the Anaheimers went to pieces and the visitors scored 5 runs on errors without making a single hit. This took all the ginger out of the boys and they played the balance of the game in a listless manner, but succeeded in preventing any further scoring until the eighth, when the Pecans secured two more runs.
The one lonesome run corralled by the home team was in the ninth. Lewis reached first on a safe hit and stole second, but in sliding to second sprained his ankle and gave up the base to Schneider. With two men out Chilly Fischer came to the bat. Chilly can always be depended upon to make a spectacular play at the psychological moment. With two strikes and three balls on him he sent a line drive over the third baseman's head, and when the smoke and the dust had blown away it was found that Fritz had crossed the plate and Chilly was roosting on the keystone bag. But his splendid spurt was of no avail, as he was caught trying to steal third and the game ended.
It appeared to be an off day with the boys. Not one of them played up to his usual standard, and the game was punctuated throughout with costly errors. Vic Lamont umpired, and he appears to be improving as an umpire as few kicks were registered against his decisions.
Carpenter and Valencia both failed to put in an appearance, and their absence considerably weakened the team, but both will probably be on hand next Sunday.
Only six hits were made in the entire game—three off of Huntington and three off of Schneider. Huntington struck out five men and Schneider seven. In the sixth Schneider made the remarkable record of retiring the side with three pitched balls. Each batter sent a grounder down to the pitcher and went out at first.
Manager Fischer informed the Gazette yesterday that the Pecans had signed up for another game on the local diamond next Sunday.
Henry Oelkers, his nephew, has been his inseparable companion for many years. He has been employed at the Koenig tract, and bears an excellent reputation. After service of the papers in the case upon him on Saturday he removed his belongings from the Koenig home and took lodgings down town.
Attorney Ames will ask for a jury trial and will put up a stiff fight, believing in the statement of his client that he is innocent.
On Tuesday morning Attorney Ames was notified by District Attorney Davis that Mrs. Koenig had decided to withdraw her suit. The case will therefore not be called in court.
BLINKER MURPHY IN TOWN
Well-Known San Francisco Political Writer Here With Bell
We had the pleasure on Tuesday of meeting our old friend Blinker Murphy of the San Francisco Examiner, who was in town with the Bell party, reporting the candidate's meetings for his paper. Mr. Murphy has been for twenty years probably the foremost political writer on the San Francisco press. From the trim-built, keen-visaged, black-eyed youth of other days, he has degenerated into a fat little man with a white mustache and green eyes. Blinker's flight into the realms of operatic criticism is remembered by old timers. And he mixed so much politics with his story that the paper's musical page was shy the next morning, but his production was a gem. When Bacegalupi invited him into the foyer with, "Coma, getta bigga beer," Blinker forgot the opera. Patti sang to at least one empty bench. Blinker never went back, but he wrote a two-column story, which will live.
It was good to feel the warm handshake of this gifted newspaper man. May his shadow never grow less,and may he meet Bacegalupi many a time and oft.
WALNUT PRICE, 15 CENTS
The public drinking fountain to get a cup of ice water to go along with his midday meal, when he ran plump into the hoss editor on his rounds for a story. Every unmuzzled canine in town who knew Moore was here following at his heels, for anon he have a piece of ham at the pack and chuckled as they fought for it. He whistled at every passing purp, and had a fine collection at his heels when he reached the fountain.
"What's all this about the bum railroad service I see in The Gazette?" he inquired, haughtily, as the scribe came into view. "Who told you to put that in? Who's making the roar? What's the matter with the service, anyway? Isn't it the best you ever had? What's the matter with it?"
"There is nothing the matter with the service," replied the countryman meekly in presence of the great railroad man, "and no one is making any kick about it except Mills. Mills went to the depot other day to get a train for Whittler, and when he arrived the blooming train was gone, and he's been making a roar about it ever since."
"Has, eh?" thundered the railroad man. "Has, eh? Well, I will see to that. I'll tell Mr. Byrne about him. What do you say of the service?"
"The service is superb. Your little jerkwater train running through town, connecting with trains north and south is a dandy. I like it. I like to change cars, and I hate to be pushed for time when I'm making the change. I like to have from half to three-quarters of an hour to do it in. And when I'm coming home at night, and am within five miles of home, with supper waiting for me, I like to make the change of cars, and I like to have plenty of time—say an hour and a quarter."
Moore soaked the remaining ham at a mangy purp with a bum lamp at the curb, and strode off.
"I'm going to see Mills. Who is he, and where does he live?"
He was given the desired directions, but we shall feel sorry for him when he finds him.
CITY BUYS A NEW EOILER
Baker Iron Works Awarded Contract by Trustees
The city trustees in special session on Monday evening awarded a conditional contract to the Baker ironworks of Los Angeles for a new boiler to be installed at the city power-house. The
Only six hits were made in the entire game—three off of Huntington and three off of Schneider. Huntington struck out five men and Schneider seven. In the sixth Schneider made the remarkable record of retiring the side with three pitched balls. Each batter sent a grounder down to the pitcher and went out at first.
Manager Fischer informed the Gazette yesterday that the Pecans had signed up for another game on the local diamond next Sunday. The Anaheim team will be reinforced by Carpenter and Valencia, and the infield line-up will be: First base, Valencia; second base, Fischer; third base, Carpenter; shortstop, Lewis. This makes an infield line-up that the Anaheim fans would wager their last simoleon on, and the game promises to be one of the best ever played on the home grounds.

WALNUT PRICE, 15 CENTS
Growers Met In Los Angeles On Monday Afternoon
One hundred walnut growers, representing every walnut growing section in Southern California, met at the chamber of commerce in Los Angeles on Monday and recommended walnut prices for this season's crop as follows:
First-class softshells, 15 cents per pound; first-class hardshells, 14 1-2; seconds, both hard and soft, 11 cents.
This price equals that of three years ago, when 15 cents was the price agreed upon, and the entire crop was cleaned up nicely at that figure. Two years ago the price was placed at 12 1-2, and dropped to 9 1-2 the first of the following year. Last year's price was 11 1-2 cents.
The crop controlled by the associations is estimated at 6900 tons, which is 75 per cent of the total yield. This association output will bring $2,070,-000. Of this yield 2800 tons will be harvested in Orange county, and will bring $840,000.
This year's crop is estimated at 10 per cent below that of last year.
Anaheim growers in attendance at the meeting were J. B. Neff, S. Hayden, Joseph Fiscus, Samuel Kraemer and Secretary Phelps. Fullerton was represented by B. F. Porter, A. I. Stewart, William Crowther, E. K. Benchley, H. H. Hale and others.
He was given the desired directions, but we shall feel sorry for him when he finds him.
CITY BUYS A NEW EOILER

SHOT THROUGH THE HAND
Serious Accident Results from Accidental Discharge of Pistol
The report of a pistol shot in Cassou's saloon at 5:30 o'clock on Friday afternoon attracted the attention of many people on the street at that hour. A moment later Santitos Carrisosa ran out of the saloon and beat it to the doctor's office, littering the sidewalk with a stream of blood.
From eye-witnesses it was learned that Carrisosa, who was in his cups, had brandished his revolver and had accidentally wounded himself in the palm of the left hand. The bullet ploughed its way through the hand and embedded itself in the wall behind the bar.
John Cassou, proprietor of the saloon, had a moment before admonished Carrisosa to put away the gun. The latter seemed dispirited on account of alleged domestic infidelity.
Cassou walked from behind the bar a moment before the shot rang out. A bystander said that if he had remained standing in his position the bullet would have struck him in the head.
Carrisosa ran to Drs. Johnston & Utter's office, where he remained for upward of an hour while the wound was dressed. He will recover.

In the absence of both President Weisel and Vice President Renner Secretary Falkenstein called the meeting to order and Mr. Eygabroad was elected chairman, but the vice president came in later and assumed the chair.
The secretary had on hand the usual stack of correspondence from anxious home-seekers and investors soliciting information about the climate, soil, and general advantages of this locality, and he was directed to turn them over to the corresponding secretary for reply.
Mr. Myers, manager of the Pacific Vegetable company's new packing-house, having suggested an association, on motion of A. A.

BELL CLUB
Democrats of the Third supervisor district club met at Odd Fellows' hall on Monday evening and formed a Theodore A. Bell club. Eighty members signed the roll.
That dyed-in-the-wool democrat, J. J. Schneider, called the meeting to order and was elected temporary chairman. Mr. Fuller of Fullerton was temporary secretary.
J. F. Ahlborn was chosen president of the club. W. J. Wilson of Fullerton was elected secretary of the club.
The club was in evidence at the Bell meeting on Tuesday afternoon, when the members gave the standard-bearer a rousing reception.
The club will hold regular meetings during the campaign, and make politics lively.
Some of our esteemed contemporaries of a democratic turn of mind, which recently yelled so lustily for Hiram Johnson, are now raising the roof for Bell. What will the harvest be?
Resolved, By the Anaheim chamber of commerce that the school trustees be requested to call a bond election as soon as possible to provide for the building of more rooms and securing sufficient grounds for the building and ample play grounds; also, for the modernizing of the school buildings by installing heating furnaces and ventilating systems similar to that in the high school.
Resolved further, That as there appears to be a division of sentiment on two propositions, viz:
First—That additional rooms be built on both grammar and primary schools, and the vacant block immediately east of the grammar school be purchased for playgrounds;
Second—That an entire new site be acquired for building and playgrounds to accommodate the higher grades;
That it be the sense of the Anaheim chamber of commerce that in order to insure the success of the bond election, the board of trustees call a district meeting, under Section 1617 of California School Law, to discuss and settle these two or any other propositions bearing on the case.
A motion by Holcomb, protesting against crowding school children into basements, and asking the school board to rent such additional rooms are needed, was passed, and the board adjourned, giving up the room to the merchants.
