CITY AND COUNTY OFFICIALS WHO WERE CHOSE

this number fully 5000 voted against
Wells and for Schmitz in order to rebuke
the bosses. 1t will be noted also tha:
Wells last Tuesday did not receive as
many votes, including Democrats and Re
publicans, as were thrown for the Repub-
lican ticket at the primary election last
August. The conclusion is Irresistible that
Herrin, Burns, Kelly, Crimmins, Rainey,
Lynch and Burke engaged the services
Of 5000 or 5000 Democrats to create the
Republican nominating convention. The
fact that the Democratic ticket at the
primary election received less than 1000
votes was then accepted as sure indica
ton that Democrats were actively med
ding in the affairs of the other party
Last Tuesday Tobin received three times
as many votes as his party ticket re-
ceived at the late primary election. while
Wells fell below the Republican primary
strength. Herein is the proof conclusive
that the $500 votes cast by the Republican

Crimmins are not as sore as their con-
federates. They saw the storm coming
and sought cover. The story goes thai
Kelly evened up on Herrin. He couldn't
keep the push in line for Wells, but he
kept the corporation money appropriated
for the purpose of lining up the purchas-
able. Kelly was the bcid boss who went

Election Returns Show That Asa Wells Did Not Receive Many Votes
Were Cast for the Republican Ticket at the Primaries
Showing That Democrats Then Voted With the PUSH

San Francisco was formerly Democratic
on a close party vote, but since 1896 the
Republicans have had the larger number
of party voters. The Republican machine
bosses made sorry blunder when they
counted on Schmitz taking three-fourths
of his strength from the Democratic par
ty. Very nearly as many Republicans as
Democrats went over to the musician
Herrin, Burns, Johnny Lynch and Jere
Burke comprise the sorriest, the sores.

bosses that has ever exhibited to the pub
lie of California. Martin Kelly and Phil

Primary League comprised very nearly
all of the true Republican vote of the
primary election.
Analysis of the Vote.
Analysis of last Tuesdays figures shows
that 5000 or 5000 Democrats voted for To-
bin. Politicians figure that 11,000 Demo-
Gratis voted for Schmitz and 5000 for Wells.
This gave Democratic vote of $4,000
Wells probably received 1900 Republi-
can votes, Schmitz got very nearly 1000
and Tobin 1000. This accounts for $1,000
Republican votes. The total vote of the
city was 1854.
