THE MUNICIPAL CONVENTION.

| The Regular Republican Municipal Con-
and organized for the transaction of busi-
ness. The business which this convention
is to transact is of the utmost political
Importance. to the people of San Fran
cisco and especially to those of its citizens
who by reason of their material interests
are Immediately concerned in seeing the
offices of the City filed by honest men
and in having its affairs wisely and Justly
administered.
The attention of all such citizens is
called to the fact that this convention is
the only regular and legal representative
| of the Republican party OF San Francisco.
Its claim to this title rests upon the un-
broken and unquestioned descent of its
power from the convention and campaign
OF 1894 and through the regular County
Committee then called into being in the
usual and legal way. 1t therefore repre-
sents the integrity of the party orEaniza-
tion and every loyal Republican should SO
regard it.
The fact that there are certain persons in
this City who claim to be Republicans and
to be loyal to their party, and yet who do
not submit to its regularly constituted
authority, is q matter of serious concern
sirous of party success. It is almost an
axiom that discords and dissensions
within a political party during a cam
paign bring only harvest of disaster and
defeat. In the light Of these results those
who foment rebellion and encourage dis
cord are guilty of little less than treason
to their party and its nominees.
Every factional dissension loses votes
for the entire ticket and hence should be
discouraged by all Republicans who be-
lieve in party loyalty and labor for party
success. The most practical anu effective
way to discourage such disloyalty is to
join hands heartily and openly with the
regular and rightful party organization
and actively support both its convention
and its nominees. This especially if the
character and standing of those who COM
pose the convention give assurance of the
nomination of men for the various offices
whose private integrity and standing in
the community guarantee honesty and
fidelity in the fulfilIment of their public
trust.
The convention at the Auditorium gives
ample promise of the nomination of such
ticket. The expressed purpose of its
dominant members is the selection of the
best possible material for the offices to be
filed. Such purpose should have the
approval and support of the entire Re-
publican party of San Francisco, and in
its presence all discords, dissensions and
disloyalties should fade away.
The only road to success in this munich
pal election is through party harmony
and the only proper place to harmonic is
beneath the banner of the regular and
legal party organization represented in
the Regular Republican Municipal Con-
vention which met yesterday and will
meet again tonight.

CONSIDER YOUR OWN INDUSTRY.

Producers and wage-workers, in this
election it is your duty to consider your
own industry. There is no selfshness in
such politics. If you do that which IS
honestly best for you your action is sure to
be that which is best for your neighbor
and your country. Your work is an
American industry, and all American in
terests are SO closely bound together that
whatever legislation advances one will ben
eft others. AS Shakespeare said. "To
thine own self be true and it will follow
as the night the day thou canst not then
be false to any man."
