The Citizens Non-Partisan party is
looking closely after its interests. The
action of Registrar Evens in refusing it
representation on the canvassing commit
tee ordered by the Board of Election Com
missioners for the purpose of ferreting
out suffers and thus preventing frauds
only served 10 stimu the energies OF
the men who are making the fight for
good government
1t is not likely that Mr.. Evans suffers
will be able to accomplish great DEAL
The Democrats are fully alive TO what has
been going on In the Registrars office dur
ing the past three weeks, and it is prom
ised that the city will be canvassed "a it
never has been before by committees from
that party. But if the Democrats fail to
do effective work in the way of frustrat-
ing the schemes of Hthe henchmen of
Colonel Burns the Non-PartisanS will per-
form that duty.
At a meeting of the campaign commit
tee held last night at the headquarters on
Sutter street committee of three was a D.
pointed to take charge of this important
business, and 1t will have the hearty CO.
operation of a large number of business
men and of the candidates. The commit
tee is composed of Frank j. Sullivan, d. j.
Mahoney and |. j. Truman. These gen tie
men held a consultation with the cand-
dates after the meeting of the campaign
committee last night and received much
encouragement. Captain A. c. Freese,
candidate for Public Administrator, said
that he had heard that a great deal of
stuffing had been done and that ne thought
it very important that sub-committees
should be appointed for the various dis
lricts. He said that good men could be
got TO canvass the districts and make lists
of those who had been improperly regis
tered.
Mr.. Freese was asked if he could sug-
gest some canvasSPrs, and said that he
would present to the committee today a
number of trustworthy men who could be
engaged. He would choose men who were
familiar wit the districts in which they
were 10 work, and he was confident that
they could accomplish great deal in the
way of purging the rolls.
Other candidates promised to hand in
names, and Chairman Sullivan said that
the committee would be responsible for
the money that would be required to pay
the canvassers.
a number of suggestions were made as
10 the best plan of prosecuting the work
Systematically and thoroughly.
Mr.. Sullivan announced that the COM
mittee on canvassing would be in sessan
at the headquarters every day after Q
O'clock fox the purpose of directing the
work.
They were all busy business men. he said,
but they were willing to make an extra
ordinary exertion in order TO secure to the
city fair election.
The cauvasSing committee is authorized
10 employ canvassers. and instructed to
cause the arrest of suffers and illegal vot-
ers and to haye them vigorously prose-
cuted.
The campaign committee also adopted
last night an address to the voters of San
Francisco, which will be issued at once.
1t was signed by the members of the CON-
mittee and was as follows:
