Heed Sinclair Vote The vote given Upton Sinclair. "EPIC" candidate for governor in trm November 6 election, waa described by Creel as "plainly symptomatic of bitter dtsaatlsf action with exlttlng conditions, and must be heeded." Sin clair was defeated by Acting Governor Prank P. Merriam. Republlcnn. In the August primary Creel wan runner-up to Sinclair for the Demo cratic nomination. In October, a few days after he had visited with Pres. dent Roosevelt at Washington, he vir tually repudiated Sinclair aa a party nominee.

"The one sure way to cauae unrest and avert demoralization Is through some Immediate and definite declara tion of policy and purpose that will revive confidence and courage, giving hope back to the hopeless. A clear, comprehensive program dealing bold ly and explicitly with every California problem," Creel said "It la peculiarly proper" that California Democrats "should take the lead In formulating a pro gressive program, and thus provide a rallying point for liberal opinion. Our party's head captains the forces of progress In the United States today, and It Is also the case that the votes of registered Democrats elected Mi. Merrtnm.

"It cannot be that Jesus concerns Himself merely with size in this par able. The only part that size plays Is to teach us that apparent Impos sibilities may be realized by faith.
