a report of the committee appointed on
Thursday evening to confer with the lead
ers OF the Fortieth Assembly District to
see how they stood on the proposal TO de-
feat Burns whole muuiep al ticket.
The news that such meeting was to be
far and wide throughout the precincts of
the FOrty-first Assembly District. Tax
payers filed the hall long before it was
ime to call the meeting to order, and they
were all good Republicans of years stand
ing-ReDublicans who never bolted the
ticket Republicans who have
marched under the leadership of Kelley
and Crimmins without a murmur-but
they all swore that they could not and
would not bow their necks in submission
to Gar Burns.
They said that they had swallowed some
pretty strong doses in the past few years,
but they could not stand Burns hossism.
The meeting was not so fiery as it had
been on the previous night, but it was
more deiberatiye. Nearly all of the
speakers had given vent to their feelings
and they felt as if action was now needed.
Captain Daley bad dismnunied from the
charger which he rode on Thursday even
ing and had laid aside his coat of mail. 1t
~ as soon though: that the gallant captain
who had given Burns such fierce battle on
the previous night had come under the
effects of his eXcellency's magic wand dur
lng le day, but he scOrned the idea. He
said he was as full of fight as ever, and he
gave as an excuse for not taking more
active part in the proceedings that it had
been too hot all day for him to do any
elaborate speech making. and his apology
was accepted.
Mr.. Fi-ebaugh called the meeting to
order. Mr.. Mccarthy, chairman of the
committee appointed TO confer with a
committee from the Fortieth District, re-
ported that the FOl tieth District was
ready to cooperate with the Forty-frst.
He said they were prepared 10 join US in
our fight against Burns"
Captain Daley was the next speaker to
claim the ioor lie wanted the meeting
to announce itself in favor of Oscar Lewis
as an independent candidate for Senator.
Mr.. Fire baugh thought Captain Daley
was acting too rashly. He said that he
was a Lewis man. but did not think it
proper to take such definite action now.
Mr.. Fire bauEh's suggestion was adopted.
Though no candidate was put in the
field for Senator. nevertheless the speeches
all had Lewis c0lOring and no doubt be
will be the nominee.
d. Shaw of the FOrtieth District deliv-
cred a strong address on the political situ-
alton in his district. He said: eve have
lost our club. They took it away from us
and told us to get out. SO we got out. We
couldn't stand the dictates of the ear any
longer. his methods are new to the old
est politicians"
If Dan Burns wants to deliver the Re-
publican party over into the hands of the
Democracy he is succeeding most admir-
ably, and it appears that is what he is
doing.
'If the Non-Partisans put up a good mu-
nicipa ticket we shall support ii, and /
believe it will win. There is great grumb-
ling over too much Dossism this year. The
Non-Partisans have a splendid show to
win"
Mr.. Shaw's speech in regard to the Nom
Partisan movement seemed 10 be the SEN
timent OF Inc meeting.
"The result of the fight will be- said
prominent worker in the district last night.
''that we will put up Lewis for Senator
and indorse the Non-Partisan municipal
ticket"
Considerable discussion arose over
whether they should go near the primaries
to-day. 1t was finally voted that not only
should the Foriy-first District absent Itself
from the elections. but the voters should
do all in their power to keep all away from
The polls that they could.
Mr.. Cayllsh Of the Fortieth District at
tackled Burns and his cohorts quite sew
ertly. He said: 1--WE are going to give
Burns anu his whole gang the hardest
kind OF a fight in the Fortieth District
they have ever had. If the Forty-first
District will help US out we can easily
eject Lewis Senator. and as to the munich
pal ticket, why we shall go in with the
Non-Partisans."
Oscar Lewis. the man who will lead tho
anti-Bnrns forces. was called upon for a
few remarks. Mr.. Lewis praised MI Estee.
He thought he would, if elected, make a
good Governor, but he did not fail to d e.
nounce Burns liz the most bitter terms.
He called him ''fool at the wheel" His
generalship was inscriptions, and MIR,
Lewis remarked:
We are not here tonight 10 fight the
Republican party. but to fight one man. |
don't believe in one-man power"
After adoption of resolutions the meet.
ing adjourned to meet again next Wedues-
day night in Franklin Hall on Fillmore
street. This will be convention of the
Fortieth and Forty.first districts. On that
evening independent Assembly and Sena.

The resolutions adopted last evening
were as follows:
WHEREAS, We, some Of the Republicans OF
the Forty-hrst Assembly District of San Fran
cisco, are charged with being in open rebellion
against the methods that have been USED in the
management of the party affairs in that district:
and whereas, we concede that We do denounce
certain actions OF certain parties, alleged mani
pulators OF the politics Of the district. who
we claim are working in their own interests
and not to further the OBJECTS or aims of the
Republican party; and whereas we claim that
We are true Republicans desiring the success of
our old and esteemed party principles. but be.
lieve that our aecusers are working for their
personal interests and forgetting party princi.
ples-we believe IL is proper for us to announce
some OF the reasons why we are in this seeming
attitude Of rebellion against our old party
