OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,


90S Broadway, March ,.
As the week wears on it becomes very
apparent that the dissatisfied elements
are gradually breaking up and that the
Republican municipal ticket is daily gain
ing strength.
The illness of Captain Thomas has kept
him from coming to the front, but his
cause has not been neglected and his able
contreres on the ticket have done their
best TO fill the vacancy.
During the past few days all kinds of
campaign stories have been circulated
and efforts have been especially directed
against the Republican nominee for
Mayor. Many OF them have been effect
ivety contradicted and Others have sue
cumbed under the weight of their own
falsity, and it now appears that Captain
Thomas and the rest OF the ticket will be
elected next Monday by handsome ma
iority.
W. a. Dow, the Republican candidate
for City Attorney, has been Councilman
during all the time the waterfront Iitiga-
tion has been in progress. He is
familiar with the details OF the City At
torney's office. and his record as council
man has been approved by everybody
capable OF judging 1t honestly.
A. r. Wilson, who has been nominated
to succeed himself as City Engineer, is
meeting with much opposition from his
Democratic opponent. But ther- is no
reason TO surmise that he will be beaten
IN the race. I ere was no opposition can
didate to him in the Republican nomina-
ton, and so Mr.. Wilson counts upon the
united vote of his party.
r. w. Snow, the Auditor, and 2. P.
lnIn hn bo kI,l1
are not making any campaign; neither
have they need to. They have esta blished
the principle that the successful wav to
run city office IS on Dusiness-Iike meth
eds, and their reward was the nomination
from their party, which certainly means
their election.
In choosing Counciimen-at-large the
Republicans have chosen men of known
standing and integrity. h. d. Tacott
proved his executive sbility at Repub-
lican convention over which he presided,
and against his integrity no man dare
breathe a word.
B. c. Cuyeilier has lived in West Oak.
p land many years. His business takes 10
across the bay, but be has always been
identified with progressive interests in
this city, and is popular and enjoys pub
lie confidence.
W. D. Heitmann has been in the Coun-
Gil some years, and is well acquainted
Will LIS uutlSS' Ills pIOSpoClS lOT re-
election are good, and there is no valid
objection 10 be made against his record.
W. B.'Prlngle IS young man from the
east end Of the city. He is energetic, has
lived here all his life and will make good
Councilman. The tendency in the past
has been TO run 10 elderly men in choos-
ing the city government, and Mr.. PrIngis
is an acceptable exception.
The Ward Couneilmen are men we'll
known in the commercial and professional
walks OF life. J. T. Colburn, from the
First Ward, is raj estate man. The Sec
Ond Ward has nominated Dr.. +. S. BodIe-
NJ. W. Upton has been nominated from
the Third r. J. Boyer, the cigar-dealer,
from the Fourth; F. NJ. PARCELS from The
Filth; William Watkinson, who vacated
his position with the railroad company at
the time Of the strike, and who has been
some years in the Council, from the
Sixth, and II. D. Rowe from the Seventh.
All of these gentlemen are making an
active campaign, and will no doubt figure
in the Republican majOTiIy that will be
counted next Monday night.
The nominations Oh The Republican
ticket for School Directors could not be
improved. DR.. Myra Knox has been pres
ldent of the board. John a. Brttton has
the confidence Of every parent in OAK
land. John Russ has been on the
board, ana so has J. w. Evans. G. H
Redington has the respect of the First
Ward, Mark a. Thomas has the unani-
nous support OF the Second, DR.. J. H.
Todd IS The choice OF the Third, Giles II.
Gray, leading lawyer, has been nomi-
mated from the Fourth; David Ruther-
ford, who made good record a few years
ago on the School Board, comes from the
Fifth; G. L. Ingler, a successful business
man, is the choice of the Sixth; DR.. w. J.
Wilcox has heen put forward from the
Seventh.
o. None of these gentlemen are politicians,
but all are respecte. citizens and known
supporters of Republican principles.
