edly large AS the notice Of the meet

the members until late yesterday after
noon it was fancied that several of the
districts would be unrepresented, but the
interest in the conference was so active
that every district but one-the Twenty
ninth-was represented. There is no de-
lection whatever in the district that did
not have a representative present.

TO MEET CANDIDATES.
Members of the advisory committee de-
cided to meet with the candidates at the
headquarters of the league tomorrow
evening for the purpose Of considering
plans for the campaign.
The motion to indorse the action of the
organization committee in requesting the
resignation of A. Ruef was made by H.

and seconded by three or four members.
In order to give force and clearness to
the expression roll call was demanded,
and every representative including l.. A.
Rea of the Forty-f1fth District, voted to
sustain the committee
Charles H. Spear, representing the State
aOmlnlStTaIOn- spoke elOQuently or the
duty of Republicans to support the entire
ticket. The general sentiment was ex-
pressed by all the speakers that the Re-
publcans In this campaign fully appre-
ciated their obligations to San Francisco
and to the party and would vote the
straight ticket.
1t is gossip in political circles that Hen
ry ]. Crocker's vote on November 8 will
approximate 23,OO0 In view of the sharp
contest between Schmitz and Lane the
triumph of Mr.. Crocker is regarded as
certain. Politicians predict that the total
vote will be $1,000. 1t is figured that
Schmitz may get $4,000, Lane $1,000 and
Whitney (Socialist) 1000. At the primary
election the Republican vote exceeded the |
combined vote of the Democratic and
Union Labor parties 1t is a sure thing
that Republican merchants this year, in
will not vote for the Democratic nominee |
or the candidate of Ruef and Parry All
along the line the Republicans are pro-
claiming: we vote the straight Repub-
lican ticket bis trip" The most ardent
and confident supporters of the ticket are |
the Republican business men and taxpay-
ers. who realize that something must be |
done to rescue San Francisco from the |
clutch of job chasers and tax eaters
