GREAT DANGER In
OVERCONFIDENCE

vEY HE campaign in behalf OF
Horace Davis and clean gov
ernment is making splendid
progress. The meetings under the
auspices Of the Republican COM
mittee take on the character Of
popular OYati0us to the candidate
for Mayor. So many remarkable
demonstrations have been OBJ
served this week than the Repub-
HCau members Of the campaign
committee are convinced Of Mr..
Davis election by a triumphal ma
jority.
Again The Call desires to eau
ton the committee regarding the
danger of overconfidence. Work
should not be relaxed in any dis
trict. The Republican leaders may
have positive information that dis
tricts which gave Phelan a large
majority last November will swing
into the Republican column next
tuesday, but that cheering intelIi-
Seuce viii not justify a relaxation
of work.
The all-important fact should be
impressed upon the mind of every
decent voter that the cunning.
scheIning bosses that fatten at the
public treasury are behind Phelan
IN this campaign. Capable men of
courage and fidelity should be ap-
pointed TO watch the count. The
duty Of selecting these men should
oe performed at once. and not put
of until the night before election
The victory of the people will
not be complete until the bosses
and place-hunters who pro-
grammed the Democratic conven-
ton are condemned at the polls.

alarming proportions since Phelans first
election to the office of Mayor in 1896. 1t
is the Mayors duty under the law to
guard against extravaganza, robbery and
tobbery, but Phelan allowed one Board of
Education to outrageously plunder the
revenues Of the School Department. The
sum of $1,000,00O scarcely represents the
increased cost of city government under
Phelans administration of municipal af-
fairs. Phelan's knowledge of business af-
fairs is limited. He knows how to collect
rent and eyict delinquent tenant, but his
business sagacity hardly extends beyond
that degree.
Republican rallies will be held this even
ing in various sections Of the city Fol-
lowing is the schedule of the meetings:
Fortieth District-Franklin Hall, Sutter
and Bush streets.
Twenty-eighth District-Second and Fol

He Prayed Too Late.

Mack" Springer, the colored chap
who was convicted of larceny at the
criminal court this month. and who
made an attempt to escape few days
before being removed from county Jail,
was taken to the penitentiary last Fri
day by Sheriff Burns. "Mack" got a
religious streak the night before he was
taken to the pen and did considerable
praying. He prayed for the Lord to
help and deliver him out OF his present
predicament. He didn't want to go to
the penitentiary. "Mack's" religious
inclinations did not sieze him soon
enough. Had he been in praying
mood before he committed the larceny
he would have escaped the "pen." Re
penting of a criminal act after IL has
been committed is little late for re-
pentance with expectation of obtaining
mercy from the court or an answer to
prayer for deliverance.
