At the Oakland city election, the citizens

mems by msjorities from 200 to 400.
The Citizens Protective Union will issue
manifesto tomorrow morning. 1t says: We
declare the objects of this organization to be
preservation of public peace. protection OF
life andproperty, the security Of life and prop
erty from all violence, resuscitation of icgiti-
nate commerce, interests and business OF
the people. All this VIC intend and expect to
accomplish within law and by peaceful mcas-
ures.
This organization Of conserva alive power IL
for the public good Ii attacks no political party
and is formed without regard to party politics.
We believe the time has come when the
manhood of San Francisco should be asserted
and il is intended that the line shall now be-
distinctly drawn between those who are in
favor Of law and order, rights of property,
safety and liberty of citizens and peaceful
prosperity. and those who are for riot, assas-
snaiion and pillagc, anarchy. unrest and des-
truction. All good citizens who approve our
objects arc invited to join our organization.
