DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.
Everything In Readiness for the Contest
OF To-Day.

Everything In Readiness for the Contest
OF To-Day.
Sullivan's executive committee met at 207
Sutter street last night to complete final
arrangements for to-day's primaries The
judges and inspectors were finally selected
and the pOling-places fixed. Balot-boxes
were also sent out aud everything is now
in condition for the contest SO far as can
be seen the Reorganizers have it about all
their own way. unless II is in one or two
districts where they have not been able to
run everything 10 suit themselves. AS it
looks, however, the convention will be cut
and dried affair, and the slate Is likely to 90
through without a crack.
There is something Of a protest made
against the attempt 10 f0ist McCOppin OH
the convention as a candidate for Mayor.
The friends of Barry Baldwin Insist that
he should be the man, and if he is not
given the nomination there is sure to be a
very loud roar
This will probably be the chief contest
among the delegates who are to be elected
to-day, and they will fnd hard problem
staring them in the face. So far as can be
learned Baldwin has the best chance in
spite OF the Vaccinations of Sullivan and
his emisSaries

these prices from the very men whose tracts
will be benefited by the extension is big
| fraud in my estimation.
IF these tract-bolders want a street cut
| through their property, the very least they
| could do. in fairness, would be TO donate
| the land necessary.
IT'S just though they should ask me TO
| give up strip Of my 25-fOot LOT 0n Noe
| street for tie extension Of Twenty-third
street. My money is the same az my land.
ITS not just and that's all there is to It,"
According to the scheme of Commission
ers OShaughneSsy, Bartlett and Welch,
| Nineteenth, Twentieth and Twenty third
| streets are to be extended from Douglas
| to the Corbett road, while Twenty first
| street Is to be opened from Eureka TO the
CorDett road, and wenty-second street
from Ocean road to COTbett road.
i This involves an enormous amount Of
cutting and engineering when the active
work is once commenced and seems to be
entirely uncalled for at present
But what causes the vigorous protests is
the wide extent Of assessment district
mapped out to bear the expenses of the
commission and acquiring the right Of way
Over sixty blocks and fully 5000 different
property-owners are to be called upon to
pay the expenses of improving few large
vacant tracts.
The lowest assessment is Sc 25 on n
twenty-five foot lot between Valencia and
Castro street, which is the section Of the
| assessment district most remote from the
proposed improvements.
The highest rate is $50 for twenty-five
| foot lot
But this rate is only charged on lots actu-
ally fronting on the proposed thorough
fare. where II is far more than compensated
Tor by the purchase price of tue right of
way for the new street
| The assessment district for the extension
OF these streets as prepared by the commits
sion includes all the property lying between
| these boundaries: Two hundred and sixty
| feet north of Nineteenth street, ia feet
south of Twenty-third street, Valencis
street on the east and Twin Peaks or the
| west.
| And now great protest is going up from
| the small property-owners in this district.
Aud the protest is so strong and so num-
erOus that the Board of Supervisors have
| heard IL.
And hearing they have given heed.
| Within day or two the protestants will
be heard before the Street committee of the
| Supervisors.
And if the members OF that Committee
| are wise they will put their veto on tn,
scheme to enrich few big tract holders
commissioners and contractors at the ex
pense OF nearly 5000 small property-owners

Seven Hundred Pictures In the Art As
socIation's Rooms.
The first annual exhibition Of the San
Francisco Camera Club Is just what the
mem bers hoped 1t would be.
1t is bowling success.
There are several hundred pictures on the
walls, and very few of them are bad.
There are scenes In mountains aud for
ests, glimpses Of maidens in the surf and
maidens who are trying to make up their
minds to duck their pretty selves in the
foaming waves, chubby children whose
garments are cut decollete above and below,
wastes of sun gilded sand aud purple noun

Six hundred lovers Of art looked at the
pictures last night, aud went home happy.
Among the artists whose pictures W ere
most admired were: ii. p. Hosmer, c..

A Simple Problem.

The value of baking powder is in the leaven-
ing gas it contains. If one brand is stronger
than another, it is worth more per pound,
because it goes further in baking.
Royal Baking Powder has been determined
by the official chemical tests to be II per cent.
greater in leavening strength than any other
brand It's actual value to the consumer is
therefore II per cent. greater than the others.
This is equal to 1917 cents per pound.
IT. therefore, other powders are forced upon
you, see that the charge for them is 1917 cents
per pound less than the price of the Royal.

There is great commotiou in the ranks

Even Sullivan and Dwyer are now at

This left the Jadge in the minority so far
