~ OSEPH s. TOBIN last night ss
Pythian Castle rang out the final
clarion note of the cleanest cam
- paign ever conducted In San Fran
- cisco II was q note OF warning
to the wavering. note OF chal-
lenge to the enemies Of independent. bust
ness-fike civic government.
II was the most enthusiastic meeting OF
the campaign II was attended by rep
resentatives Of every Assembly district
In the city. When Tobin arrived the au-
dience. which was only limited by the
size Of the hall. arose as one man and
in the cheers which greeted him the can
all the disagreeable experiences of the
campaign and confirmation Of his hopes
Of success to-day at the polls.
The only drawback to the meeting OF
last night was that the hall was not
large enough to accommodate all the vot-
ers in San Francisco and that all the
voters were not present to hear the
clean. manly. vigorous summing up OF
the case upon which San Francisco viii
to-day give a verdict.
In all the full strength Of his vigorous
manhood. with the cheers OF greeting still
ringing in his ears and the iattering In
PRODUCTION of Colonel Barry melting him
to high flights of oratory, Joseph g.
Tobin. candidate for Mayor. took the
platform and talked sound common
sense.
He spoke of the campaign now closed.
He touched on hts methods Of warfare.
He referred to the mighty issues at
stake and told with telling force OF his
convictions of the result OF to-day's YER
dict.
His every word carried conviction Of
the earnestness of the speaker. He spoke.
as he has spoken throughout the cam
paign. right to the point. frankly and
fearlessly. In his bearing and in the SUBJ
stance of his final declaration he showed
himself a man among men and proved
to his champions that their selection Of
leader had been wiser possibly than
they had ever dreamed.
That Joseph 8. Tobin viii fail the citi-
zens OF San Francisco as their worthy
representative in the chief magistrates
chair no one present at last nights meet
ing could ever believe. He carried HIM
self with manly dignity which appealed
to ALL He received the ovation with
which he was greeted as few men could
take similar token. He showed his plea
sure at the reception accorded him, but
when he addressed his audience there
was nothing OF exultation In his manner,
there was no air of "conquering hero"
in his address. He got right down to
business. His final speech was NOT the
farewell pleading Of political platitades.
but the serious talk Of business man
to business men. 1t was man talk"
II was worth while to be present and
hear 1t.
