TOBIN WILL SURELY
BE THE NEXT MAYOR
South of Market Will Turn Loose for
Him on Election


There is no more doubt of the election of Mr..
Tobin than there was Of my election when l
ran for Governor OF this State. And the very
same people that did not think that was too
much of dude to receive the labor vote
south of Market street the very same
pee e that Will turn loose for Joe Tobin in the
election Of next November and make him
Mayor Of San Francisco. (Cheers.) And why
not2 he is a young man born ana raised
among you. of q father that worked his way
up by toll from a labOring man to a position
of affluence. He is a man of ability, integrity
and intelligence. He is lawyer OF experience
He is a member Of the present Board of Su-
peryisors, and as such is one of those to whom
present board. He has already served the city
OF San Francisco as its Mayor pro tempore
You viii remember that as president Of the
absence of the Mayor and as such has dis
charged the duties Of the office.
The office of Mayor is the most important IN
the State Of California. l do not except that
of Governor Of the State. San Francisco is
one-fourth of California. AS San Francisco
thrives, as il grows. it prospers. the State
OF California must thrive and grow and pros
per. San Francisco needs man Of experience
in this particular line, man OF energy, man
Of ability To-day we are looking across the
waters OF the Pacific to the Russian railroad
that will meet it there the commerce Of Eu-
rope. We are looking to the Orient, We are
looking to the islands of the sea for an i'm
Inense volume OF trade. If the city OF san
Francisco can get that trade ii will be a
rival in time Of New York and the great East,
ern cities It Will depend upon the energy anu
il VIII depend on the ability of the officials
that you select, it will depend upon the Board
Of Supervisors that you may elect, 1t will de-
pend upon the energy, the staying qualities,
the power work night and day for the bene-
fit Of the city of its Mayor as to whether or
not it will be a side place in the commerce OF
the world or the Queen of the Great West;
whether it will be the controller OF the Pa
cifc or whether ii Will be a village
Our friend Wells the other evening. believe
in this hail told the citizens who listened to
Kim that in order to accomplish any results
it was necessary that the Mayor and the Board
of Supervisors ought to be Of the same po-
Then il all that is conceded, according to
Mr. Wells to take him at his own words, he
is not in IT, If he has already filed a certificate
of nomina ation, land that fact really doubt
Two and a half cents for car fare. Have
you thought Of that? Have the people south
of Market street thought of what two and
half cents each day for school child means
Five cents a day, If they go and take their
lunch to school with them. Five cents a day;
a quarter a week; more than dollar a month;
more than twelve dollars year for any one
child that a wants to send to the public
schools. II for no other reason in the world
than that this Board Of Supervisors and Mr..
Tobin. who is one Of the members, should be
reelected. (Applause.) For two children 1t
will be twice much, and the amount saved

union man, is more than sufficient to pay the
entire tax in ninety-nine cases out Of a hum
dred that he pays for the Supports of this mu-
nicipality.
