SAN FRANCISCO SAFE
DR.. R. NJ. Hill last night received tele-
gram from the chairman of the state central
committee, in which he reported everything
bright and full of promise for the success of
the state ticket The prediction is made
that Mcguire will carry San Francisco by
$500 or 94OO majority. The single tax is not
hurting him in the San Joaquin valley.
Betting in San Francisco is inspired by the
drop $4,000 for the effect of it's wild bets on
voters of the interior. The money is up to
lose, but that is nothing, if by such means
doubtful voters are induced to switch to the
Republican side before the trick is under
stood.
E. L. Hutchinson, the union candidate for
lieutenant governor, returned from the
confident of victory In discussing the sit
uation in Northern California, and particu-
larly in San Francisco, he said:
"The general outlook in the northern sec
ton of the state is better than l had dared to

people were present, when Mayor Phelan
was introduced. He was greeted with such
hearty and continuous applause that it was
fully ten minutes before he could speak
When Judge Mcguire and ! arrived three
hours later there were 1900 people there
awaiting our arrival, although it was nearly
"I am confident that Mcguire will carry
San Francisco by from 10000 to 1900, and
that Northern California will give the ticket
a heavy vote. Mayor Phelan's election is,
in my opinion, practically assured"

fifth assembly districts, with the hope Of
defeating William Mead, the Democratic
nominee, whose reelection is foregone
conclusion. The funds expended are said to
have been considerable, especially in the
Seventy-third district. The San Diego man
realizes the good sense of Los Angeles vot..

turn the scale on election day. Mr.. Mead's
