DAVIS IS CHEERED
ON THE WATER FRONT

a large and enthusiastic crowd at
tended the meeting of the Harbor Repub-
hcan Club of the Forty-fifth District
in Pastfme Hall, Davis and Wash
ington streets, last evening. Representa-
tive men from every section of the water
front occupied prominent places on the
platform, and their numerical strength
gave evidence that the vote for Davis
and the Republican candidates in that
section of the city would be a record
breaker.
Captain W. G. Leale, Pilot Commits
sioner. acted as chairman. He offered a
few Introductory remarks, dilating upon
the strength of the Republican ticket and
the necessity of filling the principal city
offices with competent and honest men
during the first term under the new
charter He then introduced the speak
ers of the evening.
The appearance of Horace Davis was
the signal for a round of applause which
lasted several minutes. When silence was
regained Mr.. Davis spoke on measures of
vital interest to the city and county of
San Francisco. He touched upon his past
record and promised a wise and whole
some administration should he be elected
Mayor. Other candidates followed, and
they were well received. The meeting
adjourned with three rousing cheers for
the Republican party and its candidates.

MAYOR PHELAN
STATES THE ISSUES
What Success Will Signify.

In view of the false issues raised and
persistently advocated, L desire to say
that I and my colleagues will construe
our success at the polls as an indorse-
ment of our official acts and the policy
we have established in expelling bossism
and corporate control from the City Hall,
and also as a rebuke to the gentlemen
who are seeking to destroy the principal
feature of the new charter, which, in re-
quiring city elections separate and dis
tinct from national elections, designed to
insure dispassionate business discussion
of local affairs uninfluenced by mere par
tisan zeal, which in the past has carried
men into office without respect to their
honesty or fitness, to the great injury of
our city.
l believe with the true and disinterested
friends of the charter that separate mu-
municipal government and l ask the peo-
pie, by their votes, to determine their
policy in this respect. If the attempt to
force national issues into city elections is
not rebuked at this time. the great bene-
fits of the charter will be lost.
Notwithstanding false statements to
the contrary, the bipartisan boards and
the civil service provisions give no party
patronage, which the charter has wisely
destroyed, unless the Mayor proves false
to his oath of Office. The Mayor has but
thirty-three direct appointments. Civil
service rules regulate the appointment of
all the others, and the present members
of the School, Police and Fire depart
ments are secured in their positions by
the charter on good behavior, and cannot
be removed without cause after a trial.
If elected / will be loyal to the charter
and endeavor to firmly establish it's prin-
cfples and with least friction introduce
the reforms which it contemplates, acting
wholly in full sympathy and accord with
Its purposes and objects.

GOOD NEWS FOR TEACHERS.

vember and December Salaries.

Auditor Wells is of the opinion that the
decision of the Supreme Court regarding
the inheritance tax, under which the STAN
ford estate will epay into the treasury
more than three hundred thousand dol
lars, will make it possible to pay school
teachers salaries for last November and
December. The Auditor thinks that the
city's portion of the money may be made
available for the purpose. He is busy
now inquiring into the law on the use to
poets to announce his intention in a few
days.
The Auditor has finally decided to audit
the demand of c. B. Sessions, statistician
of the Board of Health, who was appointed
under the recent decision of Judge Hunt.
The demands of all the officers appointed
under that decision were held up and the
interested parties were preparing to man
damus the Auditor to sign the demands.
In the event of failing in this course the
employees expressed their determination
to sue the Auditor and his bondsmen for
the amounts of their salaries. The salaries
of the other employees may be signed after
the Auditor has convinced himself that he
acted legally in the matter of Session s
salary.
