ALL UNDER His THUMB.
The Kind of AutomatOns Up
for Supervisors.
KELLY'S TRUSTED SERVANTS
Nearly AL Of Them Members Of the County
Committee That "Harmonizsd" Every
thing Kelly's Way.

What fine joblot Kelly and Crimmins
have stood up as supervisorial candidates.
There is Edwin Holland for instance
from the First Ward who was backed by
Kelly and Crmmins for the seat which
Antiques got in the board.
Then there is DR.. Meyers, who is now re-
garded as the thirteenth member" of the
Board Of Supervisors. He is chairman of
Kelly aud Crimmips' county committee.
When the opportunity occurred in the
earlier part of the year for him to keep
the county committee from falling into the
hands of the bosses he b0bbed up with
kelly'S collar around his neck.
Had DR.. Meyers done his duty then the
Republican party of this city could have
freed itself from bossism.
IL would not have become the tool of
Kelly and Crimmins, and instead of the
defeat which now conGronts it it would have
merited victory and have undoubtedly at
tained it.
But no, Meyers. delivered the machinery
OF the party into the hands of the bosses,
and they have been running it with ap-
palling results.
ANY Republican who can view compla-
Gently the sucoessiul wrecking of his party,
and then vote for Meyers, has not got
much political principle about him.
Carlos q. Young, the candidate from the
Third Ward, is a member of the County
Committee. He has always done Kelly's
bidding while serving on that committee
Der of the machine. He would indeed serve
the people where their interests did not con-
fict with the bosses. But the chances are
in case OF Republican success the people
would not be permitted TO have anything by
default, so Mr.. 1Oung'S use TO his constitu-
ency would be oil the big zero order.
Henry Steffens, candidate from the Fourth
Ward, is another member of Kelly's sweet
scented county committee The fact Of
the matter is that the County Committee
men have so thoroughly proved their 10y
atty TO Kelly that he atonce recognized their
extreme worth as subservient members of
the Board of Supervisors
Thele is ". K. Lane from the Sixth and
V. DubOce from the Seventh. Both are true
blue to the pirate pennant which Kelly has
labeled as the Republican ensign.
Candidate Coffee from the Eighth Ward
Is another choice specimen culled from the
roll Of the County Committee.
He stroye manfully shoulder to sh0nlde
with Doc Meyers and II. X. Robbins 10 get
the harmony in the Republican party in ia
Kelly's bag.
The harmony on election day wont sound
so sweet 10 Mr.. Coffee as he now dismally
realizes.
Alber Hyer of the Ninth is the only de.
cent man Kelly has on his ticket But If
HyeT Is elected lie will be Indebted to Kelly
for his election and men are very often inl-
PEELED by gratitude to do things that will
not always suit the purpose for which they
were elected.
Ii. p Sonntag. the real estate man. who
was recruited from San Rafael TO misrepre.
sent the Tenth Ward, is a gay lad. He be-
longs to the ''Doomer" stripe Of men.
1t is doubtful whether MT. Sonntag could
survive the winter season IN this city, The
climate OF San Rafael is go conducive TO his
good health that IL was a positive cruelty
on the part of Kelly 10 drag him from the
seclusion of his suburban home into the
anxletes and worries # municipal life.
The people OF this city will see 10 il on
election day that Mr.. Sonntag's health will
not be imperiled by compulsory residence
in this city.
Then there is T. J. Parsons from the
Eleventh Ward. he was appointed Re-
publican Fire Commissioner, but under the
combination existing at the time Parsons
bowed TO kelly's commands and stood ur
right royalty for the machine.
He was nominated for Supervisor TO as.
