NOW OR NEVER.
Democrats Will Try to Throw Off
the Buckley Yoke.
The Party Must No Longer Be- Trailed in the
Political Mire for the Boss" Base
Representatives,.

under the leadership OF Eugene n. Deuprey
have been wincing a little under the asser-
tions made that they have fallen down
in their fight against Buckley because OF
their action in indor5ing Pond and the rest
of the Democratic State ticket nominated
by the San Jose convention in which BOSS
Buckley's fine hand figured SO deity.
They claim that they could not do other
wise than indorse the State ticket, peine
Democrats and desiring to remain IN the
Democratic party. They claim that they
are not fighting against the Democratic
party. but for it, and they are batting LOT
it by irving to rid it of this little old man OF
the sea who sits on the party's neck and
wont let so the clasp of his legs.
Buckley, they say, may have manipulated
the San Jose convention for all they know,
and have secured the nomination Of Pond,
but that does not alter their case. Buckley,
they contend, did not control the whole
convention, which included in its members
many representative Democrats from the
interior counties, and whether these men
were hoodwinked by Buckley or not the
Deuprey Democrats claim is none OF their
concern.
SOURCE OF HIS POWER.
Besides. they say, Buckley was able to con-
ITOl Tie SldIt AOHNtUllpu OiIlS bNNnu'S hN 49,
trolled the San Francisco delegation and he
herled the San Francisco delegation only be-
cause he handled the San Francisco patronage.
The way to retire Buckley TO private life, they
aver. is to strike a blow at the "Boss" in his
inner fortress. If every particle of local pa
tronage can be wrested from Buckley'S hands
he can no longer go to State conventions with
solid delegation at his back, for his followers
IL -. ,.l,s, il-a rats
None of Buckley's lambs love him. They
only work under his orders because they fear
him, as they are certain that he only can give
them the fat places. Let the blind trickster be
despoied of his local patronage. Let it be
seen that the people will never elect local
ticket set up by him, and his power over his
lambs is forever gone.
A WEAKENING.
1t is in this strain that the anti-Buckley
Democrats talk. They assert that they Will
put local ticket i'll the field from top TO
bottom, and will work for it early and late,
and While many men In their movement VIII
quietly vote against Pond because of the be-
lief that he has bsrgained himself away tn
Buckley, yet, as body, and in public, they
will support the State ticket for the reason
that, Ostensibly at least good country Demo-
Gratis who bear no allegiance to Buckley as
sisted in making It; me i% TACT n tnat me
gates around by the nose. it is argued, cuts no
figure, for, while they might have been badly
deceived they We're certainly honest. :,
Let there be 10 mistake about this thing,
said George w. Taylor, last evening at the
Deuprey headquarters. g We mean to make
war on buckley until the man has been cast
from our political life. There is no talk or
thought of compromise. 1t is war to the
death. We are not trying to get office, we
are irving to down hossism. That is The only
excuse for our organization, and 1t is the only
reason why we exist.
NOW OR NEVER.
1--WE know that our putting a full local
ticket in the field will enable the Republic
cans to secure all the municipal offices. We
are willing they should. We would rather
have them in the hands of the Republicans
than In the hands Of Buckley. Wepropose
to shake off the intolerable yoke of this
man. and the only way to do it is to wrest
the patronage from him. Let it 60 to the
Republicans. 1t will he far better for good
Democrats than if Boss Buckley was fat
tening on the folly of their straight voting,
as | said to the brother of Bill English
not Warren English, but the older brother.
He demonstrated with me for being in this
movement, saying that it would elect a Re-
publican Governor. l said to him: MIR.
English, suppose we elect Republican
State ticket from top to bottom; suppose
we even elect Stanford to the United States
Senate; suppose we elect full set of Re-
publican municipal officers, would not that
be better than to have our necks in the
clutches of this political blood-sucker?
When are we going TO begin? Next cleo
ticn we will jeopardize a President, and the
following 1t will be another Governor, and
SO on forever. When are we going 10 throw
off this yoke? ] say now is the time, and
now is when we are going to do it,
RIGHT YOU ARE.
1.-The old gentleman spraDg up off the
floor and shouted, BY =, Taylor, you're
IightI Go ahead, old man, you're right and
that's the way good many Other Democrats
look at the Thing. No. sir; il the Republic
cans are worth pinch If salt they will cap
ture the whole municipal pie, and | Tor one
will be glad of it. Next election we can elect
Democrats who are not under the heel Of
Boss Buckley
Don't get the idea that this movement is
going to TALL down. 1t is made up of men
who mean to fight and who know how to
fight. Many of US have worked with Buckley
and know his methods. These are the kind
of men who cannot be fooled. 1t took US
three months to pick out sixty men to form
| this committee. and We have got sixty men
who are enlisted Tor the war Without thought
| of comuromiSe or surrender"
