The ballot used was exactly like that
used at the Union Iron Works. sample of
which was shown yesterday.
Two representatives of this paper dis
tributed the tickets and saw that the vote
was conducted'in the most careful manner.
No attempt was made TO influence any one,
and the result must be regarded as an actual
test of the feeling of the brokers.
Clearly 1t shows that the men of affairs as
well as the toilerS are in active sympathy
with the Non-Partisan movement, which Is
gaining ground every day.
Aside from the balloting the gentlemen
who cast the votes were greatly interested
in the outcome, and eagerly looked Tor the
count. When the result was known there
was a considerable display Of enthusiasm.
and it was plain 10 be seen that majority
of those present were sincere and earnest in
their advocacy of Ellert. Their looks and
actions showed Ii. and it may be set down
as an assured fact that every man who cast
a straw vote will put IN an active one on
election day for Ebert.
There is no galnsaying the assertion that
the brokers are among the shrewdest men
of San Francisco, and they want none of
Kelly or Sullivan in theirs. They are just
the kind of men who believe that the peo-
pie and not the bosses should rule the city,
and if this does not take place 1t will be
through no fault or the brokers.
A careful analysis of this vote shows, as
did that at the iron works, that Easton and
Baldwin are not in the fight at all. 1t
shows the falsity OF the claim that "ihe
hight Is between me and ODonnell," and
justifes beyond question the suggestion
that Easton should withdraw in favor Of
Ebert.
Not only the straw vote, but the resul. OF
careful inquiries all over the city among
all classes OF people, shows that Ebert is
about the only man In the race, and that II
a contest does develop it will be not be-
tween him and Easton and Baldwin, but
between him and 0Dopnell.
The chances are. therefore, that when
election day rolls round many OF those who
have cast straw ballots for the nominees OF
Sullivan and Kelly will vote for Ebert TO
prevent the possibility Of such calamity
as the election of O'DOnnell. 1t will, no
doubt. be regarded as the safe thing TO do
and will send the Non Partisan ticket
through with whoOp and hurrah.
But this is not the end. Already votes
are being taken in other quarters and some
surprises will be announced tomorrow.
They are genuine tests in esoIy sense of
the word, aud that they are so can be shown
clearly and positively. The true sentiments
are expressed in this informal way and
show just how near the Non-Partisan
movement reaches the extent OF tidal
wave.
So Mike de Young thinks Ebert should
withdraw, ehp
Well, just let him go down To the Union
Iron WORKS or out to Bernal Heights or
down among the stockholders, or anywhere
in this city where men live and vote, and
find out for himself.
Ebert is tile coming man. All signs point
that Way
