The San Francisco call., 1899-11-04

Davis. The great mass meetings
throughout the city and the un-
bounded enthusiasm of the people
attest the growing strength and
popularity Of the Republican leader.
Alarmed Democrats are on the verge
of Generalization. The open help of
Buckley organizations which Phelan
spurned early in the campaign IS eagerly
sought to save the Democratic ticket
from overwhelming defeat The Demo-
cratic Central Club, an organization
which Phelan refused 10 speak before
prior to the primary election because II
was tainted with Buckeyism, will attend
a Phelan mass meeting and be addressed
by PheIan tonight The drill corps, which
was equipped by Buckley. will wear a
uniform of white, trimmed with black
braid Each man will carry in the process
sion a campaign flag and large buckley
tin horn. which will De footed for Phelan.
So equipped the uniformed followers OF
Buckley will march down Market street.
The people should not miss the spectacle.
Before the primary election the place
hunters comprising MCNab's Committee
of one Hundred, threw up their hands in
glee when Phelan declined to attend the
meeting of the Democratic Central Club
because it was d Buckley club. 1t is DIFF
ferent now The place-hunters, having
captured the convention, want votes to
elect Phelan. The so-called anti-boss
Mayor has taken the bosses into full fel-
lowship. Boss Rainey enjoys the special
confidence of Phelan and has been prom
ised School Department patronage TO help
along where Fire Department pulls are
not potential
Is it not high time for the people of San
Francisco to array themselves in their
might against Phelan and the Odious
bosses who thrive on the money contrib
uted by the taxpayers TO maintain the
municipal government?
Mayor Phelan once had the confidence
of the people. Thousands of Republicans
voted for him in 1886 and again in 1898
They believed he was sincere in his pro-
fessions Of anti-bossism. Now in the
open light OF campaign revelation they
see how he Eas fallen. Here he is with
his cloak of reform and political decency
cast aside, begging for the favor of boss
ism and appealing for political support 10
the king OF bosses.
The oId-time allies Of the Democratic
party known as Non-Partisans have
come out Of ambush and, as usual, are
supporting the Democratic nominees.
The Non-Partisan following now consists
OF Phelan'S brother-ln-law, FRANK j. Sui
Ivan, George K. Fitch and Joseph Brit
ton. For the sake OF appearance two or
three Republicans are lndOrsed. but the
whole pretense Of selecting the best men
from both parties is proved 10 be fraud
and a fake.
The men who are in this SO-calIed Nom
Partisan movement were foremost in ef-
forts 10 break down the Stratton
primary law in the courts The law
which makes it possible for the people to
hold an honest election for delegates to
the nominating convention is aSsalled by
these Non-Partisan takers. Republican
voters should not be deceived by the shall
low tricks of Phelan's brother-ln-laW,
Sullivan
Republicans should be on their guard
against all trading propositions. Nomi-
les ShQlll hear mind that the ClVli
Service Commission, to be appointed ~
the Mayor will fill the positions in re
County Clerks office, the Sheriff depart
ment and other offices in the new City
Hall. The splendid campaign conducted
by William n Deane and John Lackmann
IS commendable. but Individual workers
for these nominees, as well as the work
ers for other candidates, should under
stand that the victory WHICH they desire
will be fruitless if Phelan is elected
Mayor. Good government and excellent
service in the various departments OF the
municipality may be obtained through
the agency Of Civil Service Commission
appointed by Horace Davis. 1t IS there
fore essential that Deanes friends, Lack
mann's friends and the friends Of every
other candidate on the Republican ticket
should vote for Horace Davis
