WINTER TOURISTS.

San Antonio should put on her
beautiful garments to welcome
the winter tourists who are so
certain to come down here this
winter, as the result of the efforts
to spread a knowledge of her
beautiful winter climate, and Sc
cure the same reasonable rates
for them a share given to the
health and pleasure resorts of
Florida and California. The
Business Mems club has this mat
ter in the hands of the people of
miscarriage of it. They will
send a special advertising agent
east to put the advertising mat
ter in the hand of the people of
the northern states, from Buffa-
10, New York, to the Missouri
river. In every station there
are advertising bulletins, con
trOlled locally, and arrangements
will be made with these for the
posting of San Antonio advertis-
ing matter, such matter covering
our advantages of climate, health
conditions, desirability as a win
ter residence. facilities for the
pleasure and amusement of the
tourist and all else included in a
full advertisement of our advant-
ages and resources. This adver-
Using matter will be put out by
the special agent himself, not left
to the chances of it's being so
placed by the local agent. These
sought for items of information
will thus be placed at the very
hand of the travelling public, and
there will be no intermediary.
The advertising matter itself
will be in attractive form and
will meet the eye of the travelling
public, the very parties that it is
desired to reach. The railroads
will put tourists tickets on sale
offering the same terms, as to re-
dustiOn and time OOf limit. as are
now put on for Florida, COlOra-
do, California, and the summer
resorts of the north. The money
required to do this work will be a
very small item, and will offer
no barrier to the immediate pros
ecutiOn of this work. The great
er part of the needed sum, $500,
is already raised and the way to
secure the rest is in sight. The
plan is feasible and will bring
results. Side by side with this
the physicians and business men
of this city should enlist them
selves in the effort to induce
their patients and business core
spOndents to sound the praises
of this locality as the best in this
whole America for those whose
organs of respiration are in any
way impaired. When San Anto-
MO learns to sound her own
praises, as the citizens of Jack
sOnville, Fernandina, Los Ange-
les and scores of other places do,
then there will be such an influx
of people here for the entire win
ter term as will add thousands
weekly to the monies disbursed
in our hotels and other houses of
sOjOurn, and through them to ev-
cry trade center of the city. Ma
ture has done her share for this
city. Let her work be supple
mented by that of her citizens
and she will grow in a decade to
astOnish herself and astOund her
Texas rivals.

The SalOOnman in Politics.

Every saloonman should keep a
watchful eye upon the candidate
for office, especially on the candi-
dates for congress and for the leg
islature.
Remember that the extra patron
age you receive for the next three
weeks will not be duplicated for the
next two years.
The candidates for local Offices
will forget you after November sd.
Remember, too, that your friend
ship for any local candidate will
not benefit you one bit after the
election is over.
Remember that you can pur-
chase no immunity from the opera
ton of the law by electing any one
to Office.
The new sheriff will march you
to jail as quick as the old one.
The new sheriff will seize your
goods for debt as quick as the old
one.
The new collector will put the
thumb screw of the tax machine t
you just as the old one has, and
grant you just as many favors.
The new constable will be after
you with his papers, just the same
as the old one has.
Remember that in helping all
these gentlemen to a fat Office, you
cannot expect them to divide.
Some of these old ofice-holders
have received from their offices
what you would consider a fortune,
in single year.
Some of them have accumulated
between $685. 900 and 500, 900 in
the past eight years.
Just think of it, these men, if out
of Office today and compelled to
make a living, could not earn a
good barkeeper's salary.
Now remember that the only in
terest that you have in the candi-
dates for the county offices is just
the same as other good citizens
have, to-wit: Get the best men.
You are interested in the public
business being we'll conducted and
that is all.
But in your congressman you
have a direct interest-he goes to
Washington to make laws that di-
rectly interest you. He shouldibe
the best man, the man of tried pub
lie integrity of the highest stand
ing.
In order to raise revenue the
liquor traffic is favorite victim for
hypocritical statesmen to practice
on. Today the liquor dealers, and
Liquor makers are the heaviest
taxed business men in this coun.
ty. And yet there are propositi-
ons pending to put an extra tax on
beer in order to replenish,, Uncle

cially Denied
A Flat Contradiction of the Claim of
That Paper That it Pays the High
est Wages-Other Letters

The Times has again descended to its
regular policy of Misrepresentation in
its attempt to sustain Its position In re-
gard to organized labor. In its issue
yesterday morning it printed letter
purporting to be from "A Fraternity
Printer" but which was really written
in its own office, in which there are a
number Of palpable falsehoods. A let
ter was sent to the editor of the Times
asking for correction, which, it Is need
less to.say, was refused publication. The
letter in question is as follows:

protest against the Misrepresentation
appearing in a letter in this mornings s

The impression intended to be conveyed
in said. communication Is that we are
running our businesses on the same lines
as the Los Angeles Times, Chas.' w.
Palm & Co.. George Rice & Sons, Los
Angeles Printing company and the other
soffices named in the same list, that we
pay the same wages and are on the same
level in all other respects with the par
ties above mentioned. We can conceive
Of but one purpose in the misrepresenta-
ton referred to, and that is to damage
us in our business for the benefit Of the
Los Angeles Times ct al.
We are In full accord with the Typo

declaring ourselves, but at the same time
reiterate our protest against the intend

FLATLY DENIED
Times Statements Concerning the Typo
graphical Union Corrected

. .ltaf ot .LI4A -
To the Editor of The Herald In the
Times of yesterday appeared an article
concerning Los Angeles Typographical
union No. ia. The direct cause of this
attempt to mislead citizens and the COM
rnunity in general arises from the action
of the city council in recommending that
city. officials patronize only such printing
establishments as pay living wages, and
as guarantee that the union label be
placed on such printing.
In taking this step the city council
deliberated on the advisability Of such
course and concluded that 1t was in the
best interest of the taxpayers and wage
workers, and would prevent the practice
of few so-called employing printers,
who have been accustomed to grab a
large portion of city and county print
ing, and by hiring child and cheap labor,
were enabled to make neat profit. AS
chairman of the executive committee Of
Los Angeles Typographical Union No
ia, allow me to correct one or two Of
these misstatements: With the excep-
tion of the Times Mirror company and a
few other firms, all of the employing
printers of Los Angeles employ strictly
union labor and pay living wages, not
withstanding Mr.. Otis, under the dis
guise of a fraternity printer" deliber-
ately misrepresents the facts by pub
fishing list of union firms under the
head of non-union offices.
1t is we'll known that the Times pays
from 40 to so per cent less per diem than
its competitors in the job printing busi-
ness although the article says the Times
for instance, Is paying the highest rate
of wages paid to printers In this end Of
the state.
To substantiate my statement in be-
half of the above, herewith append
the union scale paid in comparison
with that paid by the Times composing

Times (non- n-union-Linotype operators

(piece) Is cents per 1000 ems: Linotype
operators (day work., $4.25 for 8 hours.
Advertisement composing rorona, COM
positors, S4.25 for 8 hours.
It will be seen from the foregoing
table that the Times pays much less for
the same work than does The Herald,
its only union competitor using the
Linotype machines.
Again, Mr.. Otis says editorially, that

MORNING SESSION
Temporary Chairman Chosen Without
Any Contest Among the Factions

At 1925 a. m. Chairman John A. Pr
1e Of the central committee raped a
shepherds crook cane upon the pine ta-
BILE and demanded order in Music hall.
The crowd which up to that moment had
been somewhat tumultuous quieted
down. The chairman in his prelimin-
ary remarks said that whatever differ
ences now existed, the nominees of this
convention would be elected by united
action, a sentiment that evoked the first
outbreak of applause.
At the time Secretary Ludlow was
reading the call for the convention
there were five ladies on the platform.
The first business Of the convention
was the nomination of F. r. Willis of
the First ward as temporary chairman;
Col. Freeman G. Teed made the nomin-
alton, which received SO many seconds
that on motion of F.. A. Meserve, Mr..
Willis was elected by acclamation.
Mr.. Willis also promised that the
nominees Of the convention would be
elected, whereat all the numerous
Omce-seekers Joined in the noisy ap-
plause. He concluded his speech by
hoping that harmony would mark the
deliberations Of the convention.
r. A. Brown, G. M. Fairbank, o. w
Dunham and d. A. Morse were by ac-
ciamation chosen secretaries. Follow
ing this there ensued a lively skirmish
for nominations Of sergeant-at-arms, q
great number of names being present
ed. -,
On motion, the names, were referred
to the committee on order of business
to select therefrum FIVE men as SER
geants- alarms.
Col. l. B. Neville brought his willowy
length to a perpendicular to move that
the chairman be empowered to select
three committees of nine men each, one
man from each ward, to report on plat
form and resolutions, credentials, per-
manent organization and order of bus
mess. This carried. and on motion of
d. A. Meserve, a recess was taken for
half an hour to permit the chairman to
select the names.
At 11:S5 Chairman Willis again call
ed the convention to order, apd after
again beseeching the delegaeS to re-
frain from smoking in the presence of
the ladies', he proceeded to read the
names Of the committeeman he had
chosen. The reading of the first list,
the committee on credentials, devel-
oped the fact that some skullduggery
had beet attempted in substitution OF
certain names for ones that had been
selected In the meeting Of the Third and
Fourth ward delegates.
The committees as finally composed
were: ss sT'
