The San Francisco call., 1899-11-06
VOTE FOR THE WHOLE TICKET.

HEPUBIICANS and independent voters should
~ bear in mind tomorrow that for the purpose
L \ OF assuring the welfare OF the municipality II
will not be sufficient to elect or two OF the Re-
publican candidates a Republican Mayor should
have the support OF Republican Board OF Super
yisors and have as his colleagues in the adminstra-
ton Republicans at the head OF the other departments
OF the city and county government
From the nature OF our political methods the IS
sues OF each contest associated with the heads OF
the opposing tickets and other candidates are com
paratiyely overlooked. This has been seemingly a
contest between Horace Davis and Mayor Phclan, but
there are many issues at stake than those IN
volved in the struggle for the Mayoraly. The other
offices to be filled are important, and Republicans
and their allies among the independent voters OF the
city should go to the polls intent upon electlng the
whole Republican ticket from top to bottom.
In the contrast between the record OF the Republi
can majority OF the present Board OF Supervisors and
that OF the Democratic majority on the board that
preceded striking object lesson is presented Tor the
instruction of voters The former board was con-
trolled by Democrats whose nomination was virtually
due to Phelan himself it was essentially board OF
his selection and yet it corrupt and so often
sive in its corruption that effort made to oust
the majority from office and Phelan joined in the
effort. The Republican board now in Office has kept
its pledges to the people, has accomplished much for
the public welfare and would have achieved more
had there been at the head OF affairs a Republican
Mayor in sympathy with its efforts.
Republican Board OF Supervisors to uphold and
support the Mayor in the work OF administration and
in undertaking plans Tor municipal progress and inn
provement is one Of the objects for which all Repub-
licans should diligently strive. Fortunately the men
who compose the ticket are personally strong There
-,
Office not one who cannot be relied upon to be faith
ful TO the pledges OF the party platform and to every
duty which the public service will require OF him.
The voters OF the city should feel high degree OF
qualification in having the opportunity TO elect such
rlen to take charge OF municipal affairs.
Reasons equally valid urge Republicans TO vote
untedly or the candidates for the various city aud
county Offices The whole independent and Republi-
can vote should be given for Asa R Wells for Aud
itor, Albert Heyer for Assessor, Charles H. Jack
son for City Attorney John Lackmann for Sheriff,
Joseph H Scott for Tax Collector, Louis Feusier
for Treasurer William Z Tiffany for Recorder, Viii
liam A Deane for County Clerk, Alfred P Black fo-
District Attorney, a. D. Mclean for Coroner, John
Farnham for Public Administrator, and for Police
Judges L. G. Carpenter, Henry L. Joachnsen,
Charles A Low and James L. Nagle.
There has been a clean canvass Let there be a
clean sweep at the polls To that issue Republicans
and independent citizens should make up their minds
The vote tomorrow should be for Horace Davis and
the whole ticket.
