GRAFTERS LOSE
SAN FRANCISCO
Better Element in Control of
Both Democratic and Re-
publican Parties.

San Francisco Aug. H.-The primary
election in this city resulted in a sweep
ing victory for the Republican or Ryan
ticket, which stood for earnest support
of the bribery graft prosecution and the
present mayor and board of supervisors
The opposing faction. led by Postmaster
Fiske, made a sorry showing. electing
not more than nineteen delegates to the
party convention which will consist OF
JAG members. The result was notable
triumph for the reform element.
The regular Democratic or McNabe
ticket was victorious and will control the
nominating convention by a large ma
jority
The representatives of the better ele-
ment of the Union Labor party cast a
ma jority of their votes i'm favor of Nc
Carly and the Schmitz organ. The ele-
ment opposed to the bribery graft prose

but whether or not ex-MayOr Schmitz

NOT so MUCH IN SIGHT.
Mliion-DolIar Strike Fund of Rail-
way Telegraphers Doubtful.

Kansas City, Aug 14-Cal f Kyle,
chairman of the grievance committee of
the local branch of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' union. declared that the Order
OF Railway Teegraphers had rendered to
the commercial men now on strike their
81 900 900 reserve fund.
The official record OF the proceedings
of the biennial session of the railroad
telegraphers held at Minneapolis May
! last, however shows that. according to
the report of l.. W. Quick. grand secre-
tary-treasurer of the Order of Railway
TeegrapheTs, the union has no such fund
available to aid an allied union. As a
matter of fact the report of Secretary
Treasurer Quick shows that the protec-
tive fund on March 81, 1907. showed a bal
ance on hand of only So, 404.37.
The report of Mr.. Quick did show that
his order had total of Sl59 ASA on hand
March 81. 1891, in the general fund of the
order, but this would not appear to be
available for use in aiding allied unions.

photographers cannot DE assessed without
a referendum vote, majority Of the
members voting for the assessment To
take a referendum vote of 80, 900 men,
