The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1892-10-30
WHAT POLITICIANS SAY,
Buckley's Old Friends Hear
the Rushing Tide.
LOOK OUT FOR THE FLOOD.
The Non-Partisan Deluge Will Sweep Both the
Old Parties From Their Decaysd
Foundations.
LOOK OUT FOR THE FLOOD

hear the rushing waters of the rising Non,
Partisan tide. Those who were deep in
politics when Buckley ruled the town are
looking for high ground to escape the flood.
The reign Of the boss is over. Men who
have made politics business make this as
serton, and they ought TO know. Ad-
herenrs of both old parties realize that the
end has come and prepared for 1t, but the
desperate bosses will be caught without
their life-preservers.
No one at all familiar with San Francis o
politics now doubts the triumphant election
of the entire Non Partisan ticket. 1t win
be simply a'questiOn of maiorities.
During the past few weeks THE CALL
has interviewed all classes and conditions of
men. and received opinions from the banker
merchant. doctor. lawyer, artisan and day
laborer.
In a large majority OF instances Non
Partisan victory was predicted.
Yesterday CALL reporter interviewed a
number of practical politicians as to what
they thought, more particularly of the
municipal fight.
The parties were all men whose familiar
ity with past politics in this city gives
weight to their present uttcTauces.
They have all been through the mill
themselves, and are well qualified TO judge
as 10 what the coming political grist will be.
Jimmy Long-I think the N0n-Partisan
movement grand one, as II IS protest
against b0ssism. The "O!d Democracy"
has Endorsed a number of the NOn-Partisan
nominees, and they will all be elected.
am Democrat and expect 10 vote the en-
tire "Old Democratic" ticket. No, Kelly
and Crimmins are not in 1t this year.
Pete Connolly brother of ex-Sheriff Pat
Connoly)-In national politics am Dem
kut in NM inin naff
nm with El!ert. With few exceptions of
personal friends, ] shall vote the Nom
Partisan ticket. Ebert will be elected
Mayor sure.
Samuel Rainey-I have not mad. up my
mind as to the status Of the Non-Partisan
party; but that mddle-page cartoon in the
Wasp last week was cOrker, wasn't it?
d. 5. Reagan, chairman of the County
Committee of the "Old Democracy"-I
don't think 1t would he good policy on my
part to express an opinion, but. If you
notice, there are quite number OF Nom
Partisans on the "Old Democratic" ticket.
Denny Haey-The Non-Partsan is my
ticket. 1t will win oat from the top of the
box and down. Kelly and Crimmius are
knocked out sure.
Jack Tyrrell-I am satisfied the Nom
PaItisans can't lose for the reason that
every one knows that the other parties are
dominated By the bosses. It's the same old
gang in both parties. Why, just look at
Tom 0'Brien. lie Is just as hungry for
| municipal pap as if he had never held Office.
BlattHer can't expect any outside help, for
his Office is filled already by Kelly and
Crimmins. The Germans won't support
SuIivap'S ticket because they have had no
recognition. Not only this, but Kelly and
CrimHins are knitting the whole ticket.to
help out Blattner and Lee. Do you suppose
the others don't know this and will resent
il at the polls2
EX-FiTe Commissioner Newman-l think
the whole Democratic ticker will be
| elected. The split this year Is in the Re-
publican party. You know we polled
"a 900 votes two years ago when we were
not assisted by any means The fight is
| between the ReoTganiZers and the Nom
| Partisans | don't consider the others in
! the fight at all.
"Pn tell you what" said Jake Lindo.
| Pm not taking an active part in politics
| this time, but do you know what my candid
| opinion is about this election? No, of
! course you don't. so Eli tell you and
| think know a little how things run. Well,
| it's my candid opinion that tie NOn-Parti-
| sans will get away with the whole city
| ticket Now you mark my words, and he
| emphasized his remarks by shaking his fin
ger at the reporter no had engaged him in
| conversation.
EDDY Farrell-Two-thirds Of the Nom
| Partisan ticket will be elected. including
| Ebert and Scott The whole Non Partisan
legislative ticket will also be elected, for the
reason that the people can no longer
stomach the impudent and insoleDt preten-
sions OF De Young. My opinion is based
on information | have gathered by visiting
the various Assembly districts
Long John WllkinS-I am Democrat,
but | think anything is better than that
Kelly Crimmins crowd. | believe the Nom
Partisans have good show TO elect Ellert,
Scott aud several others on the ticket. The
ReOrganizers may elect the legislative
ticket, the Board OF Supervisors and the
Judges. Kelly and Crimmins won't elect
man in town.
Dave Magner-The fight is between the
Non Partisans and the ReorganiZers. Kelly
and Crimmins are only side show. /
think ElleIt has a good chance to be elected
Mayor. The contest is between him and
Barry Baldwin.
j. j. Cunningham-Th Non Partisan is
tile winning ticket. / am Democrat, but
there are a whole lot of Non-P artisans who
will get my vote.
d. j. Mahoney, ex-Fire Commissioned
believe in sticking to your party, and if it
is not right why, make 1t right. / am
Democrat and intend to vote the "Old
Democratic ticket"
Matt Fallon-I don't know anything about
politics, but do know that the NOn-Parti-
san movement is bad thing for 10 Third
street. am inclined 10 think the Reorgan-
iZers will win out.
