ballot. the picture securing the highest
number of votes taking the purse. Each
member of the institution had the privi-
Iege of voting once. The election clearly
demonstrated the proposition that popu-
lar suffrage in the club applied to issues
of this character cannot be relied upon
TO promote the art of painting. The Bo-
hemian electors looked at the pictures,
sized I'D the artists and voted to give the
prize money to the painter most in need
of it. This year Major Thompson will APP
point an intelligent, Impartial and I'M

name men whose judgment of art cannot

THE CHARTER

Prevailing Feeling That This City
Should Be Allowed to Adopt
Her Own Organic
Law.
POSSIBLE OPPOSITION DEAD
OPINIONS OF MEMBERS IN THE
INTERIOR.

Much comment was INDUCED in yes
terday by men of all shades of political
belief concerning the highly satisfac-
tory result attending The Calls efforts
to secure a poll of legislators on the
question Of the adoption Of the new
charter by the coming Legislature.
The charter fight is practically settled
and all that low remains to be
done in the work of securing for
the city a new organic law is to
await the hour when the Legisla-
ture will record the vote ratifying the
instrument adopted by majority of
the voters of this city at the charter
election This has had the effect Of
clearing the political atmosphere of dis
quieting rumors that have for some
time disturbed the peace of mind of
many who have interested themselves
in the matter of local self government.
If any opposition to the ratification
of the charter by the Legislature was
contemplated the showing made by this
paper yesterday morning put an end to
it at once and forever. Replies received
from members of both houses of the
next Legislature indicate that there
will not be a dissenting vote when the
charter is brought before the Legisla-
ture for ratification. Four out of every
five of the replies received are to the
effect that the subscriber publicly
pledges himself to vote for the ratifica-
ton of San Franchises new organic
law. TIE fifth reply is non-commlttal
for the reason that the issues involved
are not sufficiently familiar TO justify
q positive answer
The poN, as indicated by the replies
published yesterday, shows that mem
bers of the Legislature resident in dis
tricts outside of San Francisco believe
that the people of this city are the
best judges of what laws are needed for
their own self government. Believing
this to be so the interior members feel
they are in duty bound to vote to ratify
the charter adopted by a majority of
the electors of this city, it being under
stood that by so doing the rights of
citizens in other parts of the state out
side this municipality will not be in
fringed upon. 1t being true that even
the enemies Of the charter do not
claim that people other than residents
of San Francisco are affected by the
provisions of the instrument, the posi-
ton that will be taken by interior
members with reference to its adoption
by the Legislature is established.
Replies to the general query sent to
all members of the Legislature by The
Call are still being received and with
out exception they bear out the con-
clusion drawn from the replies of yes
terday. The following replies were re-
ceived yesterday:

what interest the people there require.
