The San Francisco call., 1906-10-09

diGacy Of Bell for Governor they eXer-
cised every influence at their command
to induce Hearst to withdraw Langdon.
OF course it is not courteous to ask a
man In New York to order man in
California not to run for Governor of
this glorious commonwealth, but cour-
tesy had to submit TO a practical condi-
tion of affairs. Langdon has the happy
faculty. since the advent of the Doodle
Dees. of enduring any old injury to his
feelings. The Lahorites might have
asked him TO withdraw, but they pre-
ferred TO go TO headquarters.
SIGNIFICANT TELEGRAMs.
Duly inspired, the following telegram
was framed and wired to William Ran
dolph Hearst:
san Francisco, Cal, Oct 2. 1906.
William r. Hearst, Publisher New York
Journal New York, NY:
In spirit of high appreciation of
your many and repeated acts of friend
ship to organized labor Ne appeal to
you TO lend your valuable aid and in
fuence to our efforts to defeat Gillett.
Having reached the conclusion by
careful review of political conditions IN
California that Bells Congressional
record makes him the strongest oppe-
nent of Gillett the San Francisco Labor
ConUcil without dispaTaging the ability
and worthiness of Mr. Langdon. re-
quests your earnest consideration along
the lI1eS OF cO-0Iltefd Win organ
lied labor in this State to the end that
we may together accomplish the defeat
w.R. HAGGERTY.

Council
Fearful that the New York editor
might require an urging a little more
potent than the foregoing the telegram
which follows was sent to Samuel
Gempers:
San Francisco Call Oct. ?. 1906
Samuel Gompers, A. E. of L., 423 @
Organized labor of San Francisco has
indorsed the candidacy of Bell, believ-
ing him TO be the strongest opponent
Hearst Immediately. and suggest to
him the advisabiIity of his co-opera-
tion with organized labor in California
in the interest of a united campaign
against our PRONOUNCED foe? Such a
move on the part of Mr.. Hearst and his
friends in California would be consfd-
cred an act of great friendship to or
ganized labor.

PresidentLabor Council

MCCARTHY ON THE WARPAFH. 8
And then came the duh thud of dis
appointment. The distinguished Demo
cratic nominee for Governor Of New
York refused to command the distin-
guished Doodle Dee nominee for Gov
ernor of California to step down and
out. Hearst was not willing to grant
this request of the organized labor
of California. More than that, he did
not even answer the telegram sent to
him.
P. H. Mccarthy, president of the
Building Trades Council of this city,
who has been East on business con-
nected with his union, interviewed
Hearst in New York on the same sub
ect Again the editor refused to give
way. The dupe of the Doodle Dees
must stand or fall at the polls. Mr..
Hearst has not forgotten that little
political matinee at Sacramento, and
Langdon will remain in the race to
defeat Bell. Mccarthy will arrive here
on Friday, and the wise ones are
saying that the fur of the editor will
fly worse than it did in the capital
city
One of the independent judicial
tickets, that of the Bar Association,
was placed in the field yesterday, and
the petitioners have until next Tues
day at midnight to get on the official
ballot The association met at its
headquarters, and a large attendance
testified to the grave personal inter-
est which the members take in a high
class judiciary. Abraham Ruef, 1t was
noticed. was not among those present
INDEPENDENT JUDGES.
BY unanimous vote the following
candidates We're Endorsed: Court of
Appeals, Judges Cooper, Dooling and
Hall; for Superior Judges, Coffey. Law
lor, Hosmer and Graham; for Justices
Of the Peace, Lawson, Golden, Van
Nostrand. Flood and Brady. One of
the most significant incidents of the
Endorsement is the increased strength
1t gives to Judge Dooling, who is al
ready in an extremely strong position.
The Doodle Dees were in high feather
yesterday They were bathed in an
ecstasy of enthusiasm for Carl Browne,
the Peoples Party nominee for Gov
ernor of California, had graciously
withdrawn in favor of Langdon. There
was loud acclaim and rejoicing and
Joe Dwyer diligently set himself to his
favorite task OF writing a resolution
Of thanks. When Joe is not doing this
he is plotting resolutions of reforma-
ton for everything in general and
nothing in particular.
DOODLE DEEs IN HIGH GLEE.
Browne has been a thorn in the side
of Doodle Deeism. The chief of the
tribe with political sagacity that reads
the future better than the past, has
always feared Browne, not because
Browne might defeat Langdon, but be-
cause he controlled practically all of
the votes that might be given to Lang
don. The very marrow of the bones
of Doodle Deeism has been and is the
principles which Carl Browne and his
friends are advocating
Now that Browne is out of it with a
magnanimous sweep of his hand. Lang
don can rely on a few votes at least
1t is perhaps not amiss to mention the
fact that Brownies political phiian-
tropy was dictated by his failure to
obtain enough signatures to his petit
tion to have his name placed on the
official ballot The Doodle Dees
wouldn't lend him any as they had
none TO spare. so he was up stump.
