The Non-PartiSans are more hopeful
than ever of the election of their ticket on
November 6. From Mayor Ellsrt down
their candidates are believed on all sides
to have the best chance of success MIR.
Elert's election is Of course assured. From
the day that the Non-PartIsans placed him
in nomination there has been SO much con-
fidence that he will succeed himself that
he has almost ceased to claim the atteu-
ton of the sirlvlDg, working aDG excited
politicians. When the Repu 6licans were
compelled to add their nomination 70 th at
of the NOn-Parllsans in Mayor EIlert's case
the public a lmost forgot that jefferson g..
James was in the field at all.
The Republican County Committee had
what was intended 20 be big mass-meet-
ing in Mascotte HeiI, on Golden Gate
avenue, between Webster and Buchanan
streets, last night. but il waslnot All entire
success. There is deep dissatisfaction in
the Thirty-eIghth over the action of Boss
Burns in "hOggiDg" the municipal conven-
ton and foisiing on the district nominee
Tor the Assembly who is not the choice of
the Republican voters. The District Gen.
tTal Club is not in touch with the County
Committee. ard it has little sympathy
with any of its efforts to make splurge
over its unaccepta ble nominees.

crowd at the meeting which the County
Committee called for last evening The
mem bers of the Central Club STAYED away,
and there were nearly a many men Oh the
list of speakers as there were grown men
in the audience.

conducted according 10 programme.
Ii was learned that the failure of the gas

no accident. The proprietor. Mr.. Flovd,
who built the hall for the use Of the Re-
publIcans, expected to make some money
out OF 1t, not unnaturally. and last night lie
was s0me~ hat disappointed when he
learned that instead of shining coins he
was to receive what politicians call a
"stand-nff." He was in no very cheerful
frame of mind as he ruminated upon the
flreting nature of political campaign and
The uncertainty of getting back bills after
the election, and when Secretary James
Jordan of the Central Club left the meet.

Committee had taken the affairs out OF
The clubs hands. and there would be no
chance to assess candidates that night for
rent money, he mounted a stepiadder and
shut the gas off at the meter.
The club owes Mr.. Floyd S120, and he

Eddie Wolfe and Ed Aigeltinger raised
$40 between them. paid it over to the pro,
prietor and became responsible personally
for the balance. And that is how the gas
came to be turned on again. Secretary

committee for substituting Bergerot as
presiding officer for Aigeltinger, and fol-
