Will SWEEP THE CITY.
The Non-PartiSan Cyclone Is
Gathering Force.
THE BOSSES DOOMED TO DEFEAT.
Enthusiastic Meetings Held Last
Evening.
Our Best Citizenship Has Spoken and
the Reign Of BOSSiSm Is Nearly
Over.
THE BOSSES DOOMED TO DEFEAT.

The Non-Partisan cyclone is gathering
force hourly. 1t Will sweep the city next
Tuesday aud ruin the bosses chances for
ever gaining control Of the local govern
ment.
The Thirtieth, Thirty-frst aud Thirty
second Assembly districts are all straight
N0n-Partisan in their sentiments, and any,
one who WAS at the meeting in Odd Eel
lows Hall last night could have seen that
fact with half an eye. All of the ntluential
men of those districts were there. and the
way they cheered the Non Partisan candi-
dates as they went on the platform showed
they were heart and soul in the movement
for reform and that their friends were with
them.
At o'clock the large hall was comfort
ably filed aud shortly after the proceedings
commenced the Harrison Club marched
through the doors. about 800 strong, and
crowded every available space.
Enthusiasm ran high. and the effort for
freedom and emancipation and against
bosslsm will assuredly be sustained in those
districts with an overwhelming majority.
Everything went with a vim and swing
that carried everything before them. and
when the last speaker closed every voter in
the hall could not but have made up his
mind to vote the straight ticket in favor OF
good and honest administration of public
affairs.
All over the city the sentiment is the
same and the 6th day OF November will sig
nal a triumphant victory for the Non Parti-
san party.
The chairman Of the evening was Louis
Z. Phillips. who introduced as the first
speaker f. a. Hyde, candidate for School
Director. The Office he was nominated to
I'll, lie said, was one of the utmost import
ance TO the city and one which should not
be trammeled by any political obligations.
He then reviewed the record of the Non
Partisan candidates Tor School Directors
aud proved them to be worthy OF the sup
port of every voter IN favor Of honest ad-
ministration.
One of the most crying shames Of the
School Board has been the pandering to
political Influence, to the ruin OF the school
system.
The most urgent need. as a remedy, is a
change in school appointments which should
be done on the qualifications of the appli-
cant for Office, and that was what the Nom
Partisan candid are in favor of, and
they cannot be bribed by politicians as
they viii not. II elected, have been sent
there by any political party who had an
AK TO grind
Edgar B. Hayman, Democrat who would
not be bossed, was introduced. He reviewed
the political situation OF San Francisco and
showed the urgent need of the reform
movement inaugurated by the Nom Partisan
party
As the next speaker, the future Sheriff,
II. Il. Scott. came forward. Cheer after
cheer greeted him. He urged upon the
voters the vital necessity at this critical time
In tie history Of the city of every man do
ing his duty toward his home and the public
welfare in supporting party that was en-
tirely free from any influences except those
offree and honest government; change from
the present roguery TO honest admlnistra-
ton of public affairs was the only salvation
OF this fair city from ruination. Unless the
change came bossism and dives would con-
tinue to flourish and justice would remain
The farce that it is at present.
". II. Beatty, the candidate for District
Attorney, then came forward. He spoke Of
tie phenomenal growth Of the great wave
OF freedom that was set in motion by the
Non-Partisan party. and the causes which
led to the formation Of the party which
mustered among its ranks all the prominent
and law-abiding citiZ-ns.
An honest judiciary. he said, was urgently
required in this city. The poor man and
the rich man should have the same show in
the courts. and it could not be said that this
was the case under the present state Of
affairs in municipal government tramp
without friends should be treated the same
as Stanford or a Huntington in the halls
of justice. and that was what the Non-Par-
tisans were trying to bring about.
The next speaker was John S. Enos. He
spoke Of the many influences which caused
the uprising of honest citizens against boss
rule. He said he was staunch Republi-
can, but would be false to the principles OF
that party if he did not vote the NOl-Parti-
san ticket.
Who are Kelly and Crimmins p" he
added. Are they influential men. honest
merchants or good citizens? a man nav
as well look in the internal regions for an
angel as for Kelly and Crimmns in the
ranks Of the law-abiding citizens of San
Francisco.
They are ia favor Of dives because they
keep hole Of vice themselves. That is the
kind of people the Republicans are bowling
their necks to TO have yekes fitted on" He
then went on 10 state several instances
where the rate-payers were being robbed OF
thousands OF dollars by the present board
Of city officers
Judge Van Reynegom reviewed the Judi
clary ticket offered by the Non. p artisans.
and characterized ii as as an excellent one.
He was in favor OF closing the dives, and
said that when he was on the bench fully
one-half OF the cases brought before him
originated in the dives.
The other speakers followed in about the
same strain as the foregoing. They were:
John Moran, candidate for County Clerk
ID. u. Ialcott, nominee for Judge of the
Police Court. Charles S. Amps, Thomas
Ashworth, j. j. Kennedy, b. p Flint, j. II.
Humphreys and II. w. Filbrook.
a. Z. Van Duzer closed the meeting. He
said the question was not political one,
but question between decency and
political knaYery - between thieyery
and honesty - and il should not be
very hard one to decide. Honesty
Should stand every time. and the Non.
PARTISAN party was the only honest ticket
10 the field. The street-extension syindles
were mentioned. and the extrayagant so.
called progress" OF the present govern
ment was shown up in all its swindling
wlcke71ess. The people In the Mission
mad formed an organization to prevent
stuffng at the polls, and any suffer caught
would not be tried at any court. but The
justice he Is liable to get and which he will
deserve will be a rope and lamp-post
Freedom must reign and the Non-Partisan
party is supreme.
