The following incident is related as an
Illustration of paw politics in the twenty
eighth Cherl5s. Mckay. cigar dealer at
East and Mission streets, is on the regu-
is- Republican ticket proposed under the
auspices. Of the San Francisco Republican
Lcague. Yesterday forenoon a we'll
dressed little man visited the cigar store
and placing a quarter Of a dollar on the
counter asked for two "ODtimos." Light
tng one the customer inquired, What is
the. political situation in this districtg
Nj Mckay. responded, 1T is somewhat 4
Exed." The customer then asked, Are |
you on the delegate ticket opposed TO
Ny Ruef?" Mckay replied, I am
candidate on the regular Republican
ticket
The customer observed: THE ticket is
headed enti-Ruef, and I am surprised
that one in your line Of business should
oppose Mr.. Ruef. It is not good policy
on pour part to fight Ruef. l would like
10 have you meet him. I will call here
again Tomorrow at 10 o'clock and If you
should determine TO resign from the
ticket J viii pay you one hundred dollars
On the writing Of your resignation
Mr. Mckay said in reply that he was
g Republican and would not come off the
ticket Tor $4,000. The customer refused
20 give his name and place Of residence.
but insisted as he walked away that he
resided in the district.
A guessing contest Is. not required to
enable one 10 name the politician that
suggested the interview with the cigar
dealer. Ruef himself would hardly do
such clumsy politics.
LABOR DETECTION STRONG.
- The union labor forces of San Francisco |
ar split asunder. The Teutonia Hall in
cident. engineered by the Schmitz forces I
70 strengthen his crumbling power, has
had an effect its promoters never dared to !
contemplate. 1t supplied the real labor
element Of the United Labor League with !
the necessary moral courage TO break the /
shackles that long bound 1t, not to the |
principles CT union labor, but to Abe |
Ruef. The result is that on next Monday |
full ticket OF 172 union labor delegates |
VIII be announced through the public /
press 10 stand at the polls Tuesday in |
firm. unswerving opposition TO the pres
ent administration.
And these 172 delegates will be union /
labor men beyond question. Every man /
OF them has his paid up union card; forty |
Of them are members of the San Fran |
cisco labor Council and ten Of them |
members Of the Building Trades Council /
Backed as they are, not by hundreds /
only, but by thousands OF the men that /
helped place RUFF in power-thereby inno-
Gently condemning the cause for which /
all were struggling-these delegates stand /
IN unbrOken line for the right.
The destiny Of this opposition to the /
Ruef wing OF the Union Labor party is I
in the hands Of strong men who are di- /
rect1ng its affairs from headquarters at |
EDDY street Timothy Sullivan, mem I
Der Of the Labor Council. is at the desk |
and last night he announced that his
forces were ready for the advance.
EAGER TO FIGHT BOSS.
Some facts regarding the brief history
OF this. the anti-Ruef force Of the Union
Labor party, is timely as well as inter
esting. When the announcement was
made that Union Labor ticket would be
put in every precinct in the city in op-
position to the so-caIled union labor men
that Abe Ruef had selected, without ad-
vice from the organizations that were
supposed to control the great aggregation
OF laSor in San Francisco, hundreds Of
applications for places on the anti-Ruef
ticket flowed in Out OF these the neces- /
sary number was selected.
Last evening The proofs Of the tickets,
fresh from the press. arrived at the anti
Ruef headquarters. An inspection of them
was made with the discovery that not one
man named thereon had --.lected from
his principles. A further inspection Of
the roster showed that the force that has
