julius H. Martins quandary is be-
coming more of a puzzle to him and his
friends as the election approaches. He
wants votes and he wants them bad, but
this is heterogeneous community and
Mr.. Martin, as Republican candidate for
mayor. backed UP by the water company
and the Southern Pacific, and yet hope
full of votes from business men who have
been bled past all endurance by these
greedy monopolies, hardly knows which
way to turn.
Then there is the saloon element the
support of which Mr.. Martin has been
negotiating for through his able lieu
tenants, Bob" Kern, TON" Goss and
Johnny Cline, and this notwithstand
ing the boasted fact that Mr.. Martin
has been a Prohibitionist for years and
once published Prohibition paper which
was red-hot in it's castigations of that
very element, and did not omit to roast
both the Republican and Democratic
parties.
AS a Prohibitionist-Repu Water
Company Anti Monopoly-S Pa
cific candidate it would seem as though
Mr.. Martin would need more than two
shoulders to carry water on. and it Is
getting to be a wonder to his admirers
how he manages to maintain his equi
librium
His close communication with Chief
of Police Glass is also worrying more
and more Rev. John A. B. Wilson,
member of whose church Mr. Martin is,
and who is foremost in the efforts being
put forth by the Ministerial union and
the Parkhurst society to have Chief
oce, Of fRno Inr Nhnva
are witnesses to the fact that Mr. Mar
tin was closeted with Mr.. Glass in the
chiefs office for two hours week ago
Sunday, and this. notwithstanding DIR.
Wilson was laboring under the impress
sion all the while that Mr.. Martin had
assured him of the suddenness with
which Mr.. Martin would cause Chief
Glass to be removed if elected mayor.
And yet Mr.. Martin cannot deny that he
Is pledged to maintain Glass. How Dr.
Wilson and Chief Glass can be both de-
sirous of Mr.. Martins election is an
enigma which becomes confusion worse
confounded in the curious light it re-
ceives from ex-Sheriff Cline's aspra-
tions to the place which that very active
supporter of Mr.. Martin hopes Mr.. Glass
will vacate. From Mr.. Martins own
point of view the thing becomes a hope
less kaleidoscope mess.
Now reflect how the thing works and
Wnat seems TO De coming out OIL all this
political chaos
A short time ago '"Tom' Goss hap
pened to be in the Eintracht saloon on
North Spring street doing a turn in
both politics and refreshments. Fred
Eaton, chairman Of the Republican city
central committee, happened to be at
the same place doing likewise. They
were making very fair headway. and
had almost succeeded in convincing
everybody standing around that Mr..
Martin was the one, only and true friend
of the saloon men.
Soon a third gentleman Joined them.
He was Mr.. Joseph Maier. the we'll
known brewer. The beer glasses were
filled a couple more times and it looked
as il Mr.. Maier would throw his sup
port over to the Republican candidate
Suddenly, however the delusion was
dispelled, for there CHANGED to be gen.
tleman not very far off who was a little
better posted, and who had been wait :.
ing until matters had taken this very
turn.
He approached Mr.. Goss and offered to
bet him $100 that Mr.. Martin had pub
lished a Prohibitionist paper in this city
Mr.. Goss was about to 'call'' what he
at first thought was only bluff"
whereupon Mr.. Eaton gave him nudge
which caused him to back down and
save $100.
The next thing was the production of
copy of the publication in question.
This acted like the falling Of live wire
to completely paralyze them. The
