RUErs SHOWING is WEAK.

The foregoing was introduced to test
the sense of the committee and ascer-
tain the strength of the Ruef following
in the organization. The friends of the
resolution demanded roll call. so that
every member of the county committee
should be placed on record.
M. Cert was opposed to the last clause
of the resolution and would not pledge
himself to vote for every man NOM
mated on the Republican ticket. $50
Secretary Atkinson declared that the
closing paragraph would have no force.
as the present committee would be dis
solved before the next election.
Cert moved to strike out the last
clause
j. Henderson contended that Repub-
licans should not hesitate to pledge al
legiance to party nominees.
Mr. Sonntag said he would not sur
render his privilege of voting against
an unworthy man on any ticket
Cerf's amendment to strike out the
last clause was voted down.
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of 5S ayes and noes. The members
voting In the negative were James M
as E. Atkinson, j. b. Whitney, Z. 5.
Strauss, Richard Regan, l.. c. Gull and
Louis Stroll.
After a brief recess the chairman, on
motion of Henry Ach, was authorized
to fill vacancies caused by death, resig-
nation or otherwise. James NJ Kelly
secured the adoption of an amendment
requiring the chairman to advise with
district committeeman on the filling Of
vacancies.
On motion of Peter Kelley, the sec
retary was instructed to note changes
of residences OF committee members.
Charles Sonntag read a resolution
comforting on district committeeman
the power to nominate delegates to the
convention to be voted for as regular
Republicans at the primary election
Henry Ach raised the point of order
that the resolution was in direct con-
travention of the election law.
The chair sustained the point of
order
William Harrington Of the Twenty
eighth District, who is not a member
of the committee, was permitted to
address the meeting for a few seconds,
tell how he was .jobbed" out of ap-
pointment as county committeeman-a
large from his district. The Harring-
ton finger was pointing directly at his
suspected adversaries when Chairman
Riordan interposed to prevent per-
sonalities.
The committee adjourned to meet at
the call of the chairman.
Among the well known Republicans
present at the meeting were: POST
master Arthur Fisk, John D. DAILY. J.
d. Brown, ]. Steppacher. ]. s. Part
ridge, Senator r. j. Welch, ex- Senator
j. A. Hoey, Assemblyman George A.
MCGOWAN, Frank Grimes, w. j. Young,
II. M Frick, M. v. Taylor. d. r. Dun
bar. r. A. Hathorn, Henry Ach and
William Harrington
The general trend, of comment was
that the Ruef elements in the commit
tee would be powerless to prevent the
Republicans from putting forward
ticket of exceptional merit 1t was pre-
dicted that the committee would lend
its aid to the powerful influences now
being invoked to secure cleaner and
better government for the city Of San
Francisco.

in order to force every
member of the county

hand. Sixty-one of the
ninety committeeman vot-
ed, and the Ruef mem
were able to muster only
