DISSENSION IN LABOR
PARTY RANKS GROWING
Unions Fail to Respond to Request
to Indorse Tcket-Judge
49, +1tC ~

- Lux . SdhQ4QdCy.
The division of sentiment among the
union ranks relative to the candidacy of
Schmitz for Mayor is growing more pro-
nounced as the campaign progresses.
Men who were ardent supporters of the
labor ticket a few days ago are now
switching to Tobin on the general theory
that as Schmitz cannot possibly win the
coveted prize one vote for Tobin prac-
tcally means a loss of two to Wells.
The Schmitz managers are rounding
up the unions and bringing pressure to
bear upon their partisans in those bodies
to cause resolutions to be adopted in
9fs dofsng ogJ the hre entire LABOR ticket Up to
sired 1ndorsement, and the greatest diff
1iculty is being experienced in whipping
the labor organizations into line
The personnel of the labor candidates
appears to be the great stumbling block
In the matter of general Endorsements.
Many union men who favored the cleo
tion of labor candidates changed their
minds when they caught a glimpse of the
majority of the Supervisorfal nominees
There was little to inspire union voters
with confidence in many of their candi-
dates, and the result is an ever increas-
ing feeling that the interest of San Fran
cisco could in no way be subserved by
their election.
It has been definitely established that
Schmitz will not secure the solid vote of
the Musicians Union, of which he is
president. Several members of that body
SaIu yesterday tnat Schm1tz would not
get more than twenty votes from the
members of his own organization. They
declare that while no open hostility has
manifested itself against him in the union
there. is deep feeling that he is not
qualified to serve the city as Mayor and
tnat his election would be a serious blow
to the industrial advancement of the city.
The hostility shown by the Buildine
Trades Council to the labor ticket has
set the laboring men of the city think
ing. The hostile attitude of the official
organ of the organized workers toward
the labor ticket as whole is having a
weighty effect upon workingmen of all
classes. This opposition among the very
interests in which Schmitz expected to
find solid support is proving a serious
blow to the labor candidates. Efforts are
being made to harmonic the conflicting

W\N Hall, $50 Third street. last
v " night a handful of lusty-
lunged young men tried to
stampede the meeting with the slogan of
Three cheers for Schmitz!' The meeting
refused to stampede and, Joseph S. Tobin,
when he left the hall, left behind him a
room full of friends cheering to the echo
the candidate for Mayor.
ToDin addressed two meetings last even
ing and in both cases confirmed the good
impression he has SO far made wherever
he has appeared. After leaving McGrath' s
Hall he went to Masonic Hall at Four
teenth street and Railroad avenue, where
a crowded auditorium awaited him and
where he was given an enthusiastic re-
ception.
His address at McGrath's Hall was in
part as follows:
I desire and 1 hope that the spirit Of my
address to you this evening will put me on
entire equality with every man in this audi
future political goal, but man with
the interests of San Francisco at heart a
man interested in the welfare of every citizen,

sent in the City Hall no one but the people.

My sympathies all with you. Your inter-
ests my interests.
Here the speaker was interrupted in
sarcastic tone by the query:
DO you really mean to tell us, Mr.
Tobin, that your interests and ours are
the Same?
The gentleman asks me if my in
terests are yours. They are. L rep
resent interests which every man IN
this audience has helped to create.
Gentlemen, the people 1 am proud
to call mine commenced their life in
this land in humble circum-
stances as any man in this hall. BY
their efforts they have risen to a
Their prosperity 1 have shared. But,
gentlemen, 1 have never forgotten
that my father entered this city a
poor man. L have never forgotten
that my father worked on the

wOrkingman, lies.
The San Francisco call., 1901-10-24

l accepted this nomination not because
sought political preferment but because
deemed 1t my duty, because 1 was a young
a position to devote my time to the things
that will tend to the good of San Francisco.
L believe that no man that works as know
you work. as I have seen you work, in the
foundry and in the ships hold, should work
more than eight hours
Tobin then referred to the interview
with Asa r. Wells published in yester-
Gay Call, In which the Republican can
didate for Mayor explains that not only
did the Republican leaders agree with the
position he had taken in demanding the
placing upon the Republican Supervisoral
ticket of one candidate of his own Sc
lection, but that Mr.. Herrfn. had con-
sented to a compliance with his request
Mr Tob1n said:
Who is Mr. Herrin? What is Mr.. Herrin
head of the Republican ticket? You know who
Herrin is: You know what he represents. The
head OF the Republican ticket tells US that Mr..
Herrin gave his consent to change in that
ticket-Mr. Herrin who represents debauchery
legislators, the purchasers of Supervisors; Mr.
Herrin, who represents corporations that must
buy franchises from the city, corporations that
sell water and gas to the city.
Why does the head of the Republican ticket
quote Mr.. Herrin? Because Mr.. Herrin repre-
sents the supreme office giving powers Be
cause Mr.. Herrin gave him and all the others
on the Republican ticket the nominations they
hold No man taking nomination on the Re
the intention of doing his duty toward the
people. No man can serve two masters
There was another large audience await
ing Tobin at Masonic Hall. His address
was in part as follows:
1 shall make it my purpose, If I get into
office, to see that the present City and County
Hospital place unfit for overnight accom-
mediation for the poorest of a poverty-strfcken
land. is replaced by a modern, practicable,
humane hospital. The present institution is
dishonor and crime.
The speaker again referred to the Wells
interview and after reviewing the issues
of the campaign, said:
l am not to be driven from the issues of
this campaign by anything that may be said
about me personally These things will take
care of themselves later 1 am no Sancho
Panza to be fitting at windmills when there
are live animals in the land more worthy Of
my steel.

The candidacy of Police Judge Alfred
J. Fritz for reelection is regarded with
general satisfaction, and he is receiving
the support of all classes, irrespective of
party aff1liation. His conscientious and
fearless official course during the last two
years has won for him the admiration
and respect of the public generally, so
that the support he is receiving warrants

Wegener to quiet title to a lot at the cor
uer Of Hyde and Lombard streets was
heard in Judge Graham's court yesterday.
The defendants are Frederick Wegener,
Mrs. Silva and Mrs. Leisen, a brother and

Christian Wegener, in 1878.
Henry Wegener testified yesterday that
his brother and sisters were in possession
of ten feet Of his property and that they
got it with the aid of the high winds that
blow in that neighborhood. He said that
the fence dividing the property was fire.

Tobin Easily Wins a Bet.

Mr.. Tobin seems to be good enough for
the people of San Francisco. The Native
Sons entertain a high regard for him. He
was born in California and loves the land
of his birth. 1t is true that he is not as
old as Mr. Wells or as handsome as Mr..
Schmitz. but he has a mind of his own
and expresses it in a style that wins the
high regard Of his fellow citizens. He
may never be able to match Mr.. Schmitz
for pulchritude or acquire Mr.. Wells ia
cility for wobbling, but he is in the
race for Mayor, with every prospect of
success. DR.. Buckley should gaze'on Asa
r. Wells and see the danger of talking
through ones hat. Cobb cannot protect
everybody from the indiscretion of rush
ing into print. All his time is now taken
up in guarding against further outbreak
on the part of Mr.. Wells.
Tobin is surely winner. He won a bet
so readily at the Palace Grill yesterday
that those who believe in auguries are

the Examiner, to whom he remarked that
he did not make the statement in the Pal
ace barber shop that the Tobins would
not patronize the establishment if the EX-
aminer was not excluded. The newspaper
man offered to bet $25 to S. that the paper
published just what Mr.. Tobin said. The
wager was accepted and the principals
went to the barber shop for a decision.
When the facts were elected the Exam
iner man said: ''Mr. Tobin, I will send
you my check for twenty-five dollars" "
Mr.. Tobin replied: Never mind the
check. Give it to charity

Shortly before Q o'clock last evening,
Morton Hunt. an employe of the Consol-
idated railroad, found the body or
man lying beside the track at the Bray

The man. who had been run over by

The man was taken to the Rhode ISL

injuries showed that the mans right leg
at the hip joint and his left foot were
both cut off. His right hand just above
the wrist was also cut off and there was
a cut over the forehead The shock of the
accident and the loss of blood made his
condition very unfavorable, and he died
at l1:i5 o'clock today.
