PHELAN COMES IN
FOR A "R0ASTING"
MUNICIPAL REFORM LEAGUE
NOMINATIONS.
Siebe for Assessor, Deane for County
Clerk, and Edward Holland for
Supervisor, First Ward.

The Municipal Reform League was
called to order yesterday afternoon at
o'clock at its headquarters at 632 Market
street. Charles G. Maggie, the president
of the league, presided.
Various resolutions advocating public
| improvements were read and adopted by
the league. The president then declared
nominations were in order.
John d. Siebe was, after a ballot, de-
clared the nominee for Assessor. Will
liam A. Deane was nominated for the Of
flee of County Clerk. Edward Holland
was nominated for Supervisor from the
First Ward.
Speeches were then made on behalf of
various candidates and some very severe
criticisms INDUCED in: Among the most
sarcastic was q speech by A. P. Murphy
of the Thirty-sixth District, who said:
Some Of the delegates yesterday were
full of sympathy for Mayor Phelan in
his lost fight, and called the chief execu-
tive of the city q political wreck and said
he had the 'big-head.'
1.-The gentlemen made mistake. There
is no man in the city to-day better salts
fed with himself and his career than
James Phelan. He cares nothing for what
the people say about him, because when
he wants to see a great man above all
criticism he looks in the glass, and 1t
reflects Phelan. And thus wrapped up in
the consideration of his own virtues, and
gazing from the elevated plateau made
fence and painted with Phelan paint he
surveys the Weaklings beneath as at an
unreasonable distance, and, like a
woman, turns up his nose.
THE big head? By the ghost Of Julius
Caesar! He is the greatest man in the
three continents, that is. regarding him
under Phelan'S plug hat"
The league then adjourned until to-day.

PATTON UNANIMOUSLY
ENDORSED FOR MAYOR
CHOICE OF THE UNITED LABOR
PARTY CONVENTION.
Several Republican Nominees for Su-
pervisors and School Directors
Were Also Endorsed.

Charles L. Patton, the Republican NOM
inee for Mayor, received the unanimous
Endorsement of the United Labor Party
convention last night. 1t is the aim and
object of the United Labor party to NOM
mate or indorse the best men for office.
The merits of the candidates who have
been already named by other conven-
lions are discussed by the investigating
committee of the party, and only those
are indorsed who are believed to be
worthy of support at the polls on election
day.
The friends of Boss Phelan worked hard
to secure his Endorsement, but the COM
mittee, after due elaboration, concluded
that the interest of the city would be best
sIlbserved by the election of Mr.. Patton.
The fact that he has never before been
actively engaged in politics and that he
did not have any ''sideshow," like the So
called Non-Partsan convention, to make
a fight for him, adds greatly to the
strength of his Endorsement. That the in
vestigating committee acted wisely in its
choice between Boss Phelan and Mr.. Pat
ton was evidenced by the unanimous vote
of the convention in favor of the latter.
The convention also Endorsed ID. j.
Murphy for District Attorney, Edward
Holland for Supervisor of the First Ward,
Howard Black for Supervisor of the
Third Ward and Dr. Josef F.. Manson,
Edward Head and E. H. Gedge for School
directors

MAGUIRE SPEAKS
At ANGELS CAMP
Throws Mud Freely at
All Republicans.
ACCUSATIONS AGAINST CALL

AND FIXED STATE TICKET.
Claims Single Tax Is Not an Issue,
and Offers to Instruct Mr..
Gage on the Sub
ject.
ACCUSATIONS AGAINST CALL
SAYS 1T IS A RAILROAD ORGAN
AND FIXED STATE TICKET.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ANGELS CAMP, Oct. 13.-Congress-
man Mcguire addressed a large and en-
thusiastic meeting at o'clock to-day.
He spoke for one and a half hours. but
applause was very scarce. His whole
address was centered on a few ideas
which formed themselves into regular
mud-slinging whenever Mr.. Gage or the
Republican platform was mentioned.
He accused The Call of being a railroad
organ and of having been party to
| fixing a slate at the Republican con-
vention at Sacramento.
The single tax question, he claimed,
was not an issue, and that it was simply
in a very crude state as yet. He said
that Gage was but figurehead In the
Republican party and Barnes was really
the only speaker out and he was a
thorough railroad man. Gage and
Barnes were altogether ignorant or the
principles of Congressional proceedings
and altogether unfit to speak upon the
single tax proposition. After the cam
paign he said he would condescend to
teach these representatives of the Re
publican party what was lacking in
their education in matters political pro-
vided they should devote three months
to the careful study Of the matter pre-
viously.
He continually coupled the names Of
Lincoln and Jefferson and insisted upon
it that they both stood alike for De-
mocracy when any important issue was
at stake. The silver question was but
briefly mentioned, and the Nicaragua
canal question was adopted as one by
which he could dominate the Republic
cans as a lot of scheming politicians
attempting to throw this matter en-
tirely into the hands Of the railroads.
Mr. Hutchinson followed Mcguire and
spoke very briefly. He lauded Mcguire
to the skies and held him up as model
politician to all people. He described
how he had witnessed the railroads i'm
port contract laborers from Mexico.
Maguire's reception was not a lively
one. He was met just outside of the
town by an apology Of a band and no
committee was to be seen when he ar
rived at the hotel But two cheers
were heard during his whole stay in
the town. The people are freely ex-
pressing their indignation at the idea
of having Mcguire speak here in the
day time, when it is the most important
place in the county politically. and a
partial canvass made tonight shows
that this proceeding will be the means
of losing many votes to the Democratic
cause.

The league then adjourned until to-day.
PATTON A GREAT FAvoRITE
A Series of Mass Meetings Arranged
in Order to Satisfy the Popular

That Charles L. Patton, the Republi-
can candidate for Mayor, is gaining in
strength and popularity daily is now be-
ing conceded by even the closest friends
of his opponent. 1t is the intention Of
the managers of the local campaign to
bring this growing popularity to a Gull
minating point by a series of popular
mass-meetings TO be held each evening
next week beginning on Monday even
ing. The demands for Mr.. Patton's pres
ence at district gatherings have become
so numerous that it was found that the
only way in which they could be
satisfied was to arrange for central gath
erings in which voters from all parts of
the city could participate.
The first of the mass-meetings will be
held on Monday evening in Drew's Hall,
121 New Montgomery street. Mr.. Patton
and D. A McKinlay will be the principal
speakers of the evening, although many
of the candidates on the local ticket will
also be present and will make brief adj
dresses. On Tuesday evening the same
speakers will address a mass-meeting at
Cyclery Hall at Haight and Stanyan
streets. On Wednesday evening they will
be the central figures at grand mass
meeting to be held in Metropolitan Tenn
pie. On that evening D. A. McKinlay
will make an extended address, an event
that has been looked forward to with
great interest, as he is conceded to be
one of tho most forceful stump speakers

LOUD AT REDWOOD CITY.
Will Join With D. A. McKinlay in
Addressing a Grand Mass
Meeting To-Niohf

Hon. Eugene F. Loud and D. A. Nc
Kinlay will address a mass-meeting of cit
liens at Redwood City tonight. Prepa-
rations have been made for a great gath
ering, and it is expected that the meeting
will be one of the most successful of the
present campaign. Congressman Loud
intends to tell the voters of San Mateo
County the bare facts with reference to
the work done by Mcguire in Congress,
and the story will no doubt be a reve-
lation to many who have hitherto lis
tened to the footing of the little pinto
giants horn.
D. A McKinlay will pay particular at
tention to Mcguire and the single tax
question. He is thoroughly familiar with
esting revelations concerning the motives
that actuate Mcguire and his single tax
