State Ticket Completed, but in the Deal the
Doodle Dees Are Completely Ignored.
BY Thomas B. Sullivan.

AS the day for the convention of the
county Labor party approaches the
! bitterness of the various factions in
the party and among those controlling
it increases. Ruef insists that he will
dictate his wishes to the delegates in
dependently of what Mayor Schmitz
may desire, and the situation indicates
that he will do as he says. Whether
or not he will be able to lead the con-
vention itself by the nose is not Sc
apparent and he may find that Nelson
and his followers will insist upon hav-
ing something to say.
Ruef has decided that Maxwell Nc
Mutt and Superior Judge Graham shall
be the Labor nominees for Superior
Judge representing the Republican
party and that Superior Judge Corey
and Police Judge Mogan will sustain
the same honors for the Democracy
The fight of the convention will come
over Mogan and it appears reasonably
certain that Justice of the Peace Law
son will wrest the prize from nlm.
Ruef has reached the conclusion that
the Democrats are treating ham with
marked discourtesy. AS he controls
the local Labor and Republican con-
ventions, he thinks it would contribute
TO the eternal fitness of things politi-
cal to permit him to name the chair
man of the local Democratic conyen-
tion. He must agree to struggle along
without everything in sight. however,
as William A Kelly will weld the
gavel over the Democrats.
MURAsKY NOMINATED.
The governing board of the State
Labor party has completed its State
ticket and will proceed at once to OBJ

the board met yesterday 1t organized
by choosing Tveitmoe chairman and
]. S. Parry as secretary. Tom Egan
of the Board of Public Works and
George Keane, secretary Oh the Board
of Supervisors, were present to see
that no more such dangerous slips as
the nomination of Bell should take
place.
One incident of the session was of
more than passing interest. Supreme
Justice Fred Henshaw wanted the
Union Labor Endorsement for the Su-
preme Court and so did Superior Judge
Frank j. Murasky. On the face of
things Murasky's chances appeared to
be very remote, as his recent decisions
have won him the hearty disesteem OF
the Cooks and Walters Union.
A strong plea was made for him,
however, and although a bitter protest
was IndQ6 he NOu Out anu CdPlQTCQ tue
/ Endorsement. He will appear tonor-
row night before the executive commit
tee of the Labor Council to explain
and justify his judicial position, and
later in the week will have heart to
heart talk with the Cooks and Wait
ers' Union. These little amenities shed
certain luster upon the political situ-
alton. Justice Henshaw will have to
console himself without the labor in
dorsement, as Justices Lorigan and
Sloss drew the other two prizes.
LABOR TICKET COMPLETED.
With very few exceptions the Re-
publicans on the State executive ticket
captured the other Endorsements. Gal
lantry, of course, made it imperative
that the nomination for Superintendent

Some OF the wise politicians in the
labor circle believe they have a chance
of electing a strictly union labor man
politically considered. as Clerk of the
Supreme Court. Democracy's foot
slipped in reference to that nomination
and there is still vacancy. The Labor
party has nominated Supervisor Furey
and hope to induce the Democrats to
inderse him. The hope, however, does
