for Republicans to give their support 10
a ticket produced in this fashion is an IN
suit. The plain truth is that Herrin and
Burns fixed up the ticket to protect the
corporations Money was contributed by
the CORPORATIONS to hire Democrats TO
vote the Republican ticket at the prl-
mary election for delegates to the con-
vention. -.
Next Tuesday the voters will be asked
to decide whether the corporations or the
people shall rule the city for the next
two years Business men or the Repup-

Ashamed of Herrin's Ticket
1t will be observed that the men who

Herrin's ticket They are heartily
ashamed of the ticket and depIore Ins

Republican delegates Wells bluntly ac-

that B. P. Flint should go on the ticket.
Wells Would Be Guided by Herrin-
Wells obviously entertained the notion
that the Republican party OF san Fran
cisco is a corporation of which Herr1n IS
the managing director. His election u
the office of Mayor would not change his
mind in this respect His recent pubic
Utterances signify. that what little nina
he has is badly confused. His intentions
may be the best in the world, but II ne
should be elected Mayor he would be
guided by Herrfn and Burns to do the
bidding of the corporations interested ia
HrIIlnfcipal legislation. He fully recognizes
Herrin's hand as the hand that held Out
to him the nomination. What can DO
expected of a Mayor that talks like
Wells? If he now recognizes Herr1n as
milton in the Mayors office If the voters
should foolishly- place him there? Every
sense of duty devolving upon good citt-
ship suggests that Wells should be put
aside His career of public usefulness
has ended.
