Tobin was introduced by Colonel T. B.
Barry and spoke as follows:
want to talk to you working men
and 1 want you to listen to me. When my
1ather came here he was poorer, prob
ably, than any one of you. He was in
every sense of the word a laboring man
What he became later was by his own
efforts In spite of all you may have
heard about me I want you to look upon
me as working mans boy. That's what
am. and as such I claim the right to
your attention on this, the eve of what L
think we can consider the most important
election ever held in San Francisco
Il am here to call your attention to a
few facts and not to paint any rainbow
hued picture Of what might happen in the
future. ! am here to remind you that we
are seeking your suffrageS on the strength
OF our actual record for the past two
years 1t Is admitted on all hands that
the city administration has been cleaner,
more economical, more beneficial to ali
classes Of society than any previous ad-
ministration.
You are probably interested in those
measures we adopted for the special bene-
Mt OF the working classes. I have referred
The San Francisco call., 1901-11-03

to them before and will be satisfied at
this time with simply enumerating some
OF them. We have enforced the eight
hour law on all work in which the city Is
directly or indirectly interested. We have
raised the rate, of labor around the City
Hall to 81 90 a day. We have reduced
your taxes, your gas and water rates and
nave given you 21s cent street car fare
for school children.
I'VE ask those opposing us in this cam
paign to point to any one act of theirs
on record for the benefit of the working
classes.
1--WE point you to what we have done
On one hand you have our record. On
the other hand promises. The Campaign
Is almost over and on Tuesday il will he
your duty to act as citizens for the best
welfare OF San Francisco and to be
guided in your actions by what you know
and not by promises which have cost
noth1ng more than the effort of speech .

that neither Less nor his bodvrnard

TELLS OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Has Confined the Fight to the Bust
ness Issues.

When the cheers, which were renewed
as Tobin faced the audience, had ceased
he spoke as follows:
'AIr. Chairman and gentlemen: I hope
that in this, almost the last meeting of
this campaign, I have not been betrayed
into an expression that might, in its tone,
indicate anything of bitterness. Whatever
the individual feelings of any man upon
any ticket may be, after all, gentlemen,
we are all citizens of San Francisco. We
are working for the best interests of San
Francisco as we see them. We are help
ing to build up the future prosperity of
San Francisco as we conceive 1t to be,
and whether we be on this ticket or that
ticket or the other ticket gentlemen, let
US remember that we are fellow citizens
and fellow men and live in peace, in
prosperity and in generosity of spirit.
(Applause.)
II have in this campaign assailed no
body. ] have criticized nobody. 1 have
expressed personal animosity toward no
one and l shall not now if the questions
directed to me are confined within the
limits that 1 know you will confine them
if you ask me questions. L shall not break
the rule that I started out to carry
through in this campaign, to conduct it.
in an honest, manly, straightforward
spirit
Gentlemen, it has been said south of
Market street that I am out of touch
with the people that live there; that do
not represent them; that my people are
not their people; that my interests are not
their interests. Gentlemen, deny this
absolutely, wholly, entirely. My people
have lived in San Francisco for fifty
years and more. (Applause) They have
prospered with the prosperity of San
Francisco. They came here poor. 1 was
born poor. 1 have poor blood in my veins
and 1 have gone through the hardships
of poverty just as much as any man in
this audience and 1 appreciate and 1 feel
and I sympathize with the character, the
aspirations and the spirit of the poor, the
downtrodden and the oppressed whether
they are in San Francisco or whether they
are in New York or whether they are in
New Orleans or whether they are in South
Africa beneath the banner of the Beers.
(Applause) Gentlemen, no man can say
to my face that have not got the spirit
of a Democrat in my soul. (Applause) I
hope that whatever the result of this
campaign may be one thing shall be es-
tablished and it is this: That you will
all know me for a young man just like
every young man in this audience, no bet
ter and no worse, I hope. That I am

Burns perceived that the drift of the
conservative mercantile and taxpaying

culating reports that prominent bankers,
merchants and insurance men, who do not
usually take an active part In partisan
politics, were inclined to support Wells.
The stories of such support turned out to
be fakes. In the downtown business

sentiment is largely in favor of Tobin.

his years and his nice qualities as an in
offensive man regret his weakness as a
seen that the conservative citizens, IRE

prevent the victory at the polls for
Schmitz.
Attempts to create the impression that
Schmitz is attaching to his cause more
Democrats than Republicans have been
exposed as misleading. The standard

the Republican party. Abe Ruef and
Colonel T. V. Eddy, who were leading
orators In the Mckinley campaign, are
speaking for Schmitz. Democrats are re-
turning to their party camp and giving
their strength to Tobin, but Republicans
Of spirit and Independence are not going

Schmitz they will join the Tobin forces.
Joseph. g. Tobin, nominee for Mayor,
was not hissed or insulted at the Metro
politan Temple mass-meettng Friday
evening. The Evening Post makes a big
spread of falsehoods to the effect that
the audience Missed the nominee. The
facts are that remarks Of G. Van Ness,
chairman of the meeting, were interrupt
ed. When he mentioned the name of
Schmitz some hired rowdies in the gallery
started a noisy demonstration and dis
turbed the speaker. Mr.. Tobip. however.
was greeted with generous applause. His
speech was not interrupted. He was not
Kissed and there was no manifestation OF
an unfriendly spirit by the audience.

when he left it was with the friendship
and admiration of every man in the hall.
Colonel T. T. Barry was the first speak
er of the evening. In the course of his
speech he said that he was there to
answer any questions that might be put
to him. A man in the audience arose and
said:
81 want to ask you how much salary
Mr.. Tobin receives as attorney for the
Hibernia Bank?''
Colonel Barry started to reply when
Tobin jumped to his feet, pushed Barry
to one side and facing the audience said:
81 will answer that man. My salary is
less per month than my opponent on the
Union Labor ticket got for the job he did
for the Risdon Iron Works last June"
The audience, composed largely Of
Workingmen, rose to their feet and
cheered. Barry finished his speech and
gave Tobin a formal introduction to his

1t has been suggested by the pastor OF
the Broadway Baptis, church, Rev. ]. v.
Osterhout, that $40, 900 be raised by the
congregation for the purpose ot erecting
gymnasium and library for the use of
members of the church, and although no
definite steps have been taken II Is proba
bic that Il will be discussed thoroughly at
the next church meeting. The sugges.
ton met with the APPROVAL of large
number OF the congregation and some are
highly enthused. The church property
at the corner of Harris avenue and Broad.
way affords plenty OF room FOR the erection
OF a good.sized building which would be
most suitable Tor the proposed purpose.
The matter of library and a gym.
nasium has been talked OF before. The
Young Mems club discussed the matter
several years ago, but at that time the
proposition was far to great to undertake,
and while 1t was not abandoned yet there
was little done about II since, and the
suggestion OF the Rev. Mr.. Osterhout,
which was made at the Sunday evening
services, again brought the matter in .
prominence. Since that time 1t has bccu
widely discussed.
The building proposed will be some.
thing entirely new for this district. There
are several small church libraries but none
OF fair proportions such as the proposed
one would probably be, and tor a gym.
nasium there is nothing OF the kind In
Olneyville. and there Is no doubt that &c
the project Is carried out It will be we'll
patronized institution. On the church
proper some repairs are contemplated,
one of which Is the placing of new win.
dows, which will be done within month.
