arisen I'm a body and have declared for
Ebert. This is because or like de Young's
bitter fling I'm referring to Levi Richard
ElIert as Levi Rothscbild." which has
been done several times i'm the Chronicle of
late, with a view of inducing those voters
who are not friendly to our Hebrew citi-
zens to vote for the Kelly-Crimmins dive
ticket.
One of Mike de Young's men cauvassed
the wholesale merchants district yester-
day.
He skipped all the places which he had
reason TO believe were owned by jewish
merchants and calling on all Il others he
wanted to know their opinion of Mike de
Young's version of L. r. Ellert's name.
"Do you think by calling him Levi Roths-
child the ChrOn icle has injured his chances
for election as Mayor" was tie glib query
that young man had to PROFOUND.
He did not want to know anything else,
and he did not get many encouraging an
swers to the all-absorbing question he was
putting, so he retired to the Chronicle office
TO report his lack OF success.
What the Chronicle will print on the mat
ter, however. il it prints anything. will be
easy enough TO predict. 1t will try TO
hedge" in its grave insult to the Jewish
residents.
Had he only dropped into the many big
| Offices and warehouses owned by Hebrews
| he would have had something else to report
on his return to the Chronicle Office.
II would not have been the kind of report
/ Mike de Young would like him TO make, but
it would have enlightened Mike consider
| ably and would have taken the latter down
from his air castle of false and unfounded
aspirations TO the realities of life.
A CALL reporter. who went on the same
| route as De 1oung's man, but who really
| saw and talked with Hebrews, heard a
| good many things which, while they may
not be Of sufficient interest to attract the
| Chronicle editors attention, are strikingly
| true in the way OF convincing the people
how the Jewish merchants propose TO act
| after the deliberate insult to their race that
| Mike de Young has heaped upon them.
The first mau seen was one of the oldest
and largest importers Of fancy goods on
Sansome street
When The reporter entered his priva te
| Office he found the merchant buried under
| heap of THE CALLS fac-similes of the
| municipal and general election issued last
week.
"Are you practiclng how to vote?" he was
"Oh, no." he replied, liam only marking
| tickets for some 500 people who want to vote
rs do. and rather than explain to them the
| method, | propose TO give each a sample
| ticket, so that they can make a cross where
| put one"
A look at one of the votes revealed the
| fact that he had marked every one of them
! Non-PaTtisans with the exception of five
names equally distributed among the other
| parties.
These five omissions seemed to call for an
apology on the merchants part, and he
said:
Il would not vote even for these few out
| Siders were they not personal friends of
mine and were the Offices they aspire TO not
| Of minor Importance"
Pausing for a few minutes from his ardu-
Gus task Of preparing 600 sample ballots the
| merchant said that the NOn-Partisan move
| inert had his support from the start al
though he is Republican and will vote for
| Harrison.
But" he added. 81 would probably never
have gone 10 the trouble of marking tickets

in had it not been for Nike de Young's i'm
| pudeDce in throwing a cowardly and most
! unwarranted insult at the Jewish race. to
which he himself belongs. Mixes brother
| Charley, when lie was alive, would never
have been so outrageously false TO the men
/ OF his own race. for he never considered it
| anything but an honor 10 be Jew.

He said that he had just heard that the
reason for Mixes strange insult to the
| Hebrews lay in the fact that the Chronicle
| had realized that the kelly-Crimmins- De
| Young combination bad absolutely no
| friends among the Hebrews. and that 10
vent his spite De Young had given orders
| TO invent something which might serve to
throw ignominy on the Jewish population.
1t was TO carry out these orders the Levi

said a younger son OF one OF the big mer-
chants when he was asked what he thought
of the situation. "N0 sane man would
couDtenance such suicidal policy" he
continued, because Mike not only ruined
his own chances during this campaign, but
he also killed his friend Easton deader than

The young man attracted quite a group
Of listeners as he went on to speak on the
subject and everybody was thoroughly in
| sympathy with him.
"Besides being shameful exhibition OF
detestable spite this Levi RothschiId' bust
ness is also most ungrateful piece Of work

1t would take a page Of this paper Il

de Young and the Chronicle the reporter
heard within the short space Of time OF al
afternoon, but the above are fair specimen
OF the sentiments expressed.
