Cornelius Leads Fight
for Langdon Against
Union Candidate

Refusing to support a munich
pal ticket which did not bear the
name of District Attorney Will
liam H. Langdon the carmen's
union turned deaf ear last night
to the opportunities of P. H. Nc
Carthy, o. A. Tveitmoe, James
H. Bowling and other labor lead
ers and repudiated the union
labor ticket by vote of approx
nately three to one.
A highly Significant development at
the beginning OF the campaign was
the refusal OF the carmen to indorse
the union labor ticket The decisive
proportions OF the vote by which the
Endorsement was refused Is taken as
OF the detection Of union
men from the Mccarthy ticket and
prophetic of defeat for the candidates
nominated by McCarthy's convention.
The storm did not break until after
James H. Bowling, secretary OF tn =
carmen's union, had made a speech In
4 similar vein. President Cornelius
led the tight against the resolutions
carrying the Endorsement. He said
that he, in common with majority
OF, the carmen. had believed that in
supporting them the members Of the
building trades organization had been
actuated by loyalty to union principles.
He insisted that he had sufficient
faith in the great rank and file of the
building trades to believe that they
did not give their strike contributions
from political considerations. nor as the
price of votes for Mccarthy. He was
convinced, he declared. that the great
body of the building trades men did
not care whether the carmen voted
for Mccarthy or not He said that
the carmen owed no fealty to a ticket
which did not bear the name of Dis
tr,ct Attorney William H. Langdon

P. II. McCarthy's Vain Attempt to Secure
Endorsement of Carmen for His Ticket
Mayor Taylor to Open
His Campaign With
Big Mass Meeting

BY George a. Van Srr1it
Mayor Edward Robson
Taylor will open the good gov
ernment campaign at great
mass meeting Saturday night at
Dreamland rink, Sutter and
Steiner streets.
The keynote of the campaign
which the good government
forces will make for Mayor
Taylor and the ticket nominated
behind him will be sounded by the
mayor. The other principal speakers
will be William P. McCabe, late Sec
retary OF the labor council. the good
government candidate for county clerk,
and Walter Macarthur. well known or
ganized labor leader and editor of
the Coast Seamens Journal.
The decision to open the campaign
with Dr. Taylor as the principal speak
er on Saturday night is a radical
change from the plan originally
adopted by the managers Of the Good
Government leagues campaign and
was made at the request of the demo-
cratic committee. which will cooperate
with the leaguers In a meeting which
is expected to eclipse all previous keyt
note meetings.
The leagues plan, abandoned yes
terday In so far as 1t involved the open
ing meeting contemplated the presen-
tation of the mayor at his first big
meeting on. October 10. The demo-
Gratis plan contemplated only two big
meetings for Mayor Taylor--the first
and last meetings of the campaign.
II both plans were carried out inde-
pendently 1t would have eutai,ed extra
meetings upon the mayor and tended
to interiors with the leagues plan to
have Dr. Taylor appear for short ad-
dresses at many district meetings. II
is probable now that only two big
Taylor meetings will be held and that
they will be promoted under the Joint
auspices Of the league and democratic
committees.
Owing to the shrewdness OF P. H.
Mccarthy the closing rally for Taylor
and his tickets can not be held at
Dreamland rink and the committees
have not decided whether 1t will be
held at the auditorium or in the open
afr in some central square.
The opening meeting will be pre-
ceded BY a band concert and Dr. J..
Wilson shiels OF the Good Govern
ment league campaign committee is ex-
pected to preside.
