A. T. Hastings, Republican nominee for Assemblyman from Merced and Stanislaus counties, is young man of energy, education and executive abil- ity. If elected he will be among the leaders, and not the led. He is a man of convictions and not afraid to advo- cate the same. He is perfectly fa- miliar with the laws governing the dis tribution and use of water for irriga- ton under the Wright law, and also under private ownership, and with the advantages and disadvantages and practical effect of the operation of the irrigation system under each law and with the amendments necessary for the best interests of the parties interested in irrigation. He is acquainted with the general needs of the people of the two counties. He is worker. He has a business and has always been successful in his business. He is not a job chaser. The nomination came to him entirely unsolicited. The prudent business man will not employ one to attend to his important business af fairs who has not been competent to manage his own business affairs suc- cessfully. Likewise, the prudent pub lie will select to manage its business a man of affairs. MT. Hastings will be a safe man for the people of the State of California on any question af- fecting the whole State that may come before the LfgislatNra

DIR. SUSSDORFF DEFENDS
 HIS MANAGEMENT
REPLIES TO ATTACKS MADE
 UPON HIM.
A Letter From Drs. Williamson and Dodge Expressing Confidence
 in Him.

Dr. G. E. Sussdorff, superintendent of the City and County Hospital, has been smarting under the attack made upon him and his management of the 1nsutu- tion recently. A day or two after the ar ticle appeared he received letter signed jointly by Dr. Williamson, chairman of the Board of Health hospital committee, and Dr. Dodge, chairman of the Hospital Committee of the Board of Supervisors, to the following effect
 Observing in the press of recent date that your management of the hospital has been se- verely criticised and reflections made as to your honesty and integrity, we desire to state that you have the full confidence of the under signed, ard we trust that your efforts In be- half of the hospital will be marked by the same energy and success in the future as in the past.
 In speaking of the matter last night Dr. SuSSdorff said:
 'I took charge of the institution last November at the request of my friend, the late pr. Morse. I made up my mind to establish reputation for myself and I have striven day and night to that end. It Is hard work to watch personally every detail in a large institution like this, but l have done so, and the result is seen in the letter 1 voluntarily received from pr. Williamson and Dr. Dodge, who are the best competent to judge me and my work.
 There are certain rules and regulations governing the institution, and I deter Illlleu OIL accepting the position, to see that they were enforced. There must be discipline here as anywhere else, and when any one is guilty of dereliction of duty l send for him or her and courteous ly but firmly explain that it must not occur again.
 Soon after taking office I suspended some 1nternes for good reasons. and they me out of the institution. I have no doubt the attack. upon me has been instigated by some interne with that object in view internes are here by privilege, and while here they must conform to the rules
 TO say that l am escorted to my apart insinuatfng that I am always drunk, is false, and l defy any one in the institu- tion to swear that I was ever seen under the influence of liquor I do not exact homage from every employe, but do not and if show them what good breeding demands they should not object
 How absurd it Is for any one to say that l could apply the hospital funds for luXuries for myself and family when counts are sent to the Board of Super Vfsors and are paid by the City Treas appropriation.
 When I came here this was the mean est place in the world in many ways I tain things must be done, and they agreed with me. Now there Is a difference. rake the operating room as an example The operators now wear white linen coats and aprons and there Is now proper heat and light.
 Just let me say that I am running this institution for hospital purposes and nothing else. l want to make a reputa- ton for myself, as I said before, and I dont want to be unjustly and malicious

INDEPENDENTS ARE
 OUT FOR A CONFLICT
THE CONVENTION WILL BE EN-
 TIRELY UNPLEDGED.
A Full County Ticket to Be Nomi- nated-Oaklander Who Will Probably Be Selected as
 Candidates.

OAKLAND, Sept. 2S.-A very important caucus of the Independent party was held tonight, and details were arranged for the convention on Friday night. There was a desire expressed to have the con- vention behind closed doors in the man. ner of the Municipal League four years ago, but finally this was voted down, and 1t was decided to have everything open and above board. Not one of the 300 dele gates whom 1t Is said will be in attend ance will be pledged.
 It has been decided that the scope of the Independents shall be limited to the county offices, and that on no account shall the legislative ticket be touched It is probable that the Republican nominees for the Legislature will be formally in- dorsed.
 There are several candidates for each office, but a careful review of the situa- ton points to the following as being the most probable to receive nominations:
 For Auditor-D. c. Hinsdale, for several years deputy City Assessor.
 For Sheriff-Louis Schaffer, ex-Chief of Police.
 For Assessor-Ex- Mayor John L. Davie.
 For Treasurer-Ex-S Supervisor D. C. Brown.
 For Coroner-James L. Taylor.
 For Recorder-A. K. Grim.
 For County Clerk-T. c. Stoddard
 For City Justice-A w. Bishop
 It is not known what candidates will &C., cept nominations, as the managers de- clare that everything done will be as far removed from a slate as possible. Unless lively time on Friday night; for this even- ing some of the friends of MT. Dalton, the Republican nominee for Assessor, were openly declaring that they had all delegates to the so-called Independent convention

ist, Delights Circle of Critics.
 Rafael Meany, late director of the Con- servatory of Music at Guatemala, gave an exhibition of his talents before a select assemblage in the rooms of Colonel Ko- walsky at the Baldwin Hotel last night.
 It was Professor Meany's first bow to San Francisco critics, and he made a de- cidedly favorable impression. He Is gifted with a rare touch and his rendi- ton of familiar opera airs and inter pretation of selected classics at once pro- claimed him as a master of the piano. His excellent performance and thorough realization of the theory of his art eliclted frequent applause from the little circle of critics. Professor Meany intends making this city his home and will no doubt delight the ears of many music lovers during the coming season.
