of the Iloquois Gu b that ". Macarthur of
the San Francisco Labor Council was to
preside. James J. Flynn, the chairman
of the committee, opened the meeting by
saying:
''Ladies and Gentlemen: Tonight we
meet here as citizens, irresp pectlve of
parties, to celebrate the downfall OF
Doodle and its representatives. We meet
for the first time in many years in this
city as free American citizens to cele brate
the victory of honesty over corruption
and to rejoice over the fact that men who
have broken their pledges have got their
Just deserts" He then introduced Nc
Arthur, the chairman, who, like the asst
speaker, congratulated the people upon
the victory of the people over the bosses
and the boodlers, and said that this is
decidedly unique situation.
"Heretofore the people have been con-
tent, or partly so, in the belief that when
ever the elected servants OF the public are
once in office, they, the public, must sub
nit without more than a murmur to what
the officeholders do. But it is now proved
that there is a power greater than that
of the otficeholders. One thing has been
proved and that is that for some time
past there has been an undercurrent of
discomfort, and that has been SO powerful
and so great that 1t has at last resulted i'll
the ousting OF those who have proved de-
relict to their duties, as shown by the
judgment OF one of our Superior Court
Judges"
Amid the greatest enthusiasm Congress-
man James G. Mcguire was introduced.
He began by a brief allusion to the re-
movaI of the late Board of Supervisors by
Judge Wallace, at whose name the audi
ence cheered wildly. Continuing, the
speaker said that he was convinced that
Judge Wallace had done his duty. The
old board no doubt bel ewes that he has
done more than his duty. If he has done
so, they have their recourse at law, and
he said:
There are many who believe that the
Judge snouIC De more tnaE recognIzeQt Or
having performed MS duty anu auded
that he hoped that the time would come
when the fact OF a Judge performing his
sworn duty would not excite so much
comment as it is doing at the present
time.
II do not specially rejoice at the down
fall of these men, said he, "because l
have no personal enmity against them.
There is deeper undercurrent here, more
than rejoicing over Others downfall. and
that is .he retribution for having violated
their pledges. That is the cause OF this
grea enthusiasm.
" If man goes before the people and is
eiected upon his promises of performing

bration passed off pleasantly and most
enthusiastically. The hall would have
been crowded but for the police, who shut
off the inflow when every seat IN the large
structure was flied. About 800 people
were turned away as the officials would
not permit of more entering the hall than
could be accommodated.
Nearly every one of the vice presidents,
whose names were published in THE CALL
yesterday morning, were present and oc-
cupied seats on the platform. A nun ber
of the speakers who had been advertised
TO deliver addresses were not present, but
others took their places. The notable abb
sentees were General w. H. l.. Barnes,
George A. Knight and S. NJ. Shortridge.
But little attempt was made at atdecoration
the only evidence thereof being an Ameri-
can flag over the speakers desk.
1t was noticeable that among the speak
ers only a few had very much TO say
against the late boari, that is, personally,
but that in generalities the entire board
received saltry turning over. 1t was de-
cided by the committee of arrangements
