REP PUBL|CANS
ARE VICILANT I
League Forces Are Advised
That Ruef Is Pleading
for Party Recognition
CAUCUS, IS SUGGESTED
Regular Call for a Meeting
of Anti-Ruef Delegates
Will Issue iii Due Time

When the proper time, arrives the or
ganizatioIls committee of the San Fran
cisco Republican League will issue call
for CAUCUS of the delegates to the NOM
mating convention Of the party. The eau
Gus, like the tickets OF the league in the
primary election will be clearly identified
as Anti-Ruef. 1t is quite we'll understood
by Republicans that the delegates who
train with Ruef will be expected to join
the Schmitz. forces as soon as the Repub-
lican convention adjourns. Ruef never
entertained the idea of supporting the
nominee of the Republican party for
Mayor of San Francisco.
Ruef is now representing to the Repub-
lican delegates that he has been maligned
by the newspapers-that he Is not as
black as he is painted, but, on the con-
trary, is about the whitest and purest
politician that ever bathed in the pool of
politics. He remarks that he was never
connected with any scheme of graft or
enriched by a dollar dishonesty acquired.
He says that he does not want the dele
gates to do anything wrong, but requests
that they sign up for an informal caucus
to consider subjects pertaining to the or
ganization of the Republican convention.
The latest dodge of the defeated and
dfscredited boss lacks the merit of clever
ness. He will not be able to entice a
half dozen league delegates into his side
show He will fall short Of lining up
the so-called Ruef delegations, as quite
a number of independent men who were
elected to the convention on tickets other
than those of distinctly anti-Ruef char
acter will not submit to the Ruef brand
ing iron.
The Republican League is advised that
Ruef is proffering Union Labor indorse-
ments and appointments to Annapolis
and West Point in order to brighten up
his waning political prospects, but he
will never be in position to deliver the
promised goods.
When the time arrives for caucus Of
the majority of delegates to the Republic
can convention proper, notice will be
given by the organization representing
the majority. There are indications that
the regular republican Anti-Ruef caucus
will be attv-ded by nearly 300 of the
800 delegates elect. There are further
indications that the joint nominee of the
Anti-Ruef Republican and Democratic
forces Of the town will be elected Mayor
by a majority that will astonish the
grafters

WHEAT YIELDS.

Wahpeton, NJ D., Sept. 1.-Thresh-
ing has been in full operation in this
county since Monday and a number of
fields have already been cleaned up. The
yield varies, sonic fields running as high
as twenty to twenty-five bushels of
wheat to the acre, and others as low as
nine and ten bushels. The average for
the county will probably be between
twelve and fifteen bushels to the acre.
That is less than was expected at the
time harvest commenced. The rains
during the harvest seem to have done
damage and smut is found in a good
many fields, especially in the southern,
part of the county. There is practically
no smut, however, in fields sown with
treated grain. The shrunken, rusted
grain sown by some farmers seems to
have yielded nearly as well as good i'm
ported seed and in many cases it did
better. Very little fax has been cut up
to the present date but it promsieL a
good yield, and corn will be very good
crop. Oats and barley are yielding well
but most of the barley is of low grade.

breach Of the official secrets act, in
