The Non-Partisans had an interesting
meeting at the headquarters on Sutter
street last night. 1t was a meeting that
was full of moment TO the people OF San

the district.
Some of the candidates handed in lists
of names of men who they said were will
ing TO enter upon the work and could be
depended upon for good honest labor
Other names will be reported to-day and
