Julius H. Martins quandary is be-
coming more of puzzle to him and his
friends as the election approaches. He
wants votes and he wants them bad but
this is a 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 lieuten-
ants Bob" Kern, Tom" Goss and
Johnny" Cline, and this notwithstand-
ing the boasted fact that Mr.. Martin has
been Prohibitionist for years and once
published Prohibition paper which was
red-hot in its castigations of that very
element and did not omit to roast both
the Republican and Democratic parties

cific candidate ii 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, a
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
Glass tenure of office cut short. There
are witnesses to the fact that Mr.. Mar
tin was closeted with Mr.. Glass in the
chiefs office for two hours a week ago
Sunday, and this notwiths tanding DR..
Wilton 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-
caives from ex-SheriH Clne's aspira-
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 hope
ieas Kaleidoscope mess.
Now reflect how the thing works and
wat seems to be coming out of all this
political chaos.
A short time ago Tom Goss hap
paned 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
c.ntral committee. happened to be at
ne same place doing likewise. They
we're making very fair headway, and
'sd almost succeeded in convincing
everybody standing around that Mr..
Martin was the one, only and true
;~'.end of the saloon men.
Soon a third gentleman Joined them.
He was Mr.. Joseph Maier, the we'll
SHOWN brewer. The beer glasses were
flied a couple more times and It
.ooked as IL Mr.. Maier would throw his
support over to the Republican candi-
Gate. Suddenly, however, the delusion
as dispelled. for there CHANGED to be
e. GENTLEMAN not very far off who was
g little better posted, and who had been
waiting until matters had taken this
Very turn
He approached Mr.. Goss and Offered
t, bet him 500 that Mr.. Martin had
published Prohibitionist paper in this
city. Mr. Goss was about to "call'' what
lie at first thought was only bluff"
whereupon Mr.. Easton gave him a
nudge, which caused him to back down
ard save 500.
The next thing was the production Of
= copy of the publication in question.
This acted like the falling Of live wire
upon Messrs Goss and Eaton-it seemed
u completely paralyze them. Tho
