NO APPLAUSE FOR
ABSENT MAYOR.
Union Labor Party Holds
a Ratification Meeting
and Denounces Langdon
CANDIDATES PRESENT

The Union Labor party ratification
meeting held at Dolores Hall last night
differed from the labor meetings of the
recent past in one marked respect. The
time is not so long gone when the mere
mention of the name of Eugene E.
Schmitz was wont to awake the echo
from platform to gallery. His friends
delighted to roll out the full title of
His Honor" but now. the name of
Gene has somehow lost its luster.
Twice last night speaker alluded to
the absent Mayor and twice the silence
followed sadly where once was ap-
plause
There was denunciation for Francis
j. Heney, but that did not wake the
meeting to enthusiasm. The name of
Theodore A. Bell was applauded to the
echo and the name of BILLY" Langdon
caused tumult, too. Only it was un-
favorable to the Democratic standard
bearer. If ever a man came in for a
faying 1t was the District Attorney
last night Tveitmoe and Mccarthy
wed with each other in telling what
they thought of Langdon. According
to their statements there was more of
traitor in William Langdon than i'll any
other particular parcel of human flesh,
and the audience seemed to be with
their leaders in the idea that the said
Langdon had sadly gone back on his
friends.
In spite of the fact that Bell was at
Ukiah and consequently unable to be
present at his own ratification, the
meeting was true to his candidacy and
Gillett was branded as "the tool of the
Southern Pacific and the enemy of
labor" Other candidates were there
to be ratified by the score Judge Gra-
ham graced the platform and Miss
Anna Williams. the Democratic and
Union Labor candidate for State Super
intendent of Schools. made her first
political speech after Mrs. Ohnimus had
led the way. Mrs. Ohnimus, by the
way, was one of those to find that the
name of Schmitz was out of tune with
the times.
That stalwart Republican, E. A.
Haynes. candidate to succeed himself
as the representative from the Fifth
Congressional District, was present
and after making his speech remained
upon the platform, smiling amiably un-
til Tveitmoe turned the thunders of his
rhetoric against Gillett. Then Haynes
beat hasty retreat.
The list of candidates introduced by
the chairman, Thomas F. Eagan, in
cluded four aspirants for the position
of Justice of the Peace. and its length
was rather discouraging to the audi
ence, which had somehow got the idea
that Bell was to be present and speak,

to find at o'clock, before II there We're
plenty of vacant seats.

have an opportunity. to thoroughly
study the conditions that have been

branch should be furnished with list

With this end in view 1t is respect
fully requested that this office be fur

Grafton of your society at its coming

best is how Billy" sold to some coun-
try people tickets to Missouri and
back.
Vice was in the habit of putting in
two hours every Sunday morning at
the Union Pacific offices. He noticed
worthy farmer and his wife strolling
along Montgomery street and he en-
gagged the couple in conversation. The
farmer was charmed and so was his
wife. Billy learned they were from
Missouri and he made them homesick.
BY the most curious coincidence Vice
was born in the town they came from.
He persuaded them into buying two
tickets to Missouri with dozen pho
tographs thrown in. Billy" produced
a box, posed the couple, tingled bell,
threw a towel over his head, took the
number of addresses to which the pic
lures were to be sent and packed them
off to Missouri with the fervent prayer
that they would never come back.

-FOUR woRFxMEN OVERCOME BY
GAS WHILE TOILING IN PIT
Deadly Vapor Escapes From Main at
Front and California Streets, Az

Four men were overcome by gas at
the corner of California and Front
streets yesterday afternoon, but were
resuscitated by the time the ambu-
lance summoned from the Harbor
Emergency Hospital arrived on the
scene.
Under Foremen NJ Lang and j.
Woods, r. Barry and another laborer,
whose name is not known, were chang
ing mains Of the San Francisco Gas
and Electric Company. The four men
were in the excavation when a slip of
the pipe caused the gas to escape freely
and overcome the workmen. The four
were taken from the pit and their
fellow workmen treated them at once.
They soon recovered.
