NEW CHARTER DECISION
CLEARS WAY TO VICTORY.

The outlook for complete Republican
success at the polls on Tuesday, Novem-
Der Z, daily grows brighter The decision
OF the Supreme Court sustaining the new
charter is an inspiration to Republican
workers. Certain Phelanites who have
neen trying to arouse apprehension that
the charter was in danger and in need of
the protecting care of the Committee of
one Hundred find that their chief source
OF political capital has vanished.
The charter is now secure. II has been
ADOPTED by the people. ratified by the
legislature and its validity is established
by the Supreme Court of the State 1t is
now the charter of San Francisco and not
the special property of any gang of place
hunters masquerading as reformers to
catch non-partisan votes.
Inc republican party has demonstrated
us apluty TO manage the affairs OF the
nation and the State, and Republicans
peneye that the party is capable of direct
ing the municipal affairs of San Fran
cisco. From the beginning of the charter
agitation until the hntsh the charter had
no ADLER eXponents and supporters than
Horace Davis and 1. J. Truman. To these
gentlemen and others on the Republican
ticket the citizens owe q debt of gratitude
for intelligent work performed in behalf
OF the local constitution.
Mayor Phelan is now hedging on the
proposition that Republicans opposed the
charter. He asserts that he did not make
the charge, but with a wave of the hand
and smile of insinuation cites Joseph
BrittOn as authority for the statement
Phelan did charge Republicans with dis
loyalty to the charter, and now brings
Joseph r. BrittOn forward as States evil
dence. We're not the Republicans sincere
In their devotion TO the charter when they
placed on their ticket for Supervisor the
man exalted by Phelan as the ideal cham
plon of the charter? Did not the nominal
ton Of BTitton attest the sincerity of Re-
publicans? On what ground, then, can
Phelan contend that Republicans We're
dislOyal?
At headquarters Of the Republican
County Committee and the room of the
Horace Davis Central Club, indications of
served. Out in the districts the party
meetings are large and enthusiastic. In
the beginning Of the campaign fear was
EXPRESSED that sufficient interest could
not be awakened in the municipal cleo
ton to induce registered Republicans to
turn out and participate in the demonstra-
tions Of the campaign The decision of
the court holding that all the principal
Offices are to be filled, gives the local con-
test the prestige of a general election
and insures a very large vote In San
Francisco q full vote may be accepted as
q guarantee of Republican triumph. The
fact that the approaching municipal cleo
tiOn VIII be regarded throughout the State
OF California and in the East as an en-
gagemeut preliminary to the great battle
of 1900, viii stimulate Republicans to
special effort on behalf OF the ticket.
Under the leadership of Horace Davis
great victory should be gained. He is
leader Of national reputation, fearless,
able and honest.
