was chairman of the Doust cam

letters sent to registration address

William j. Doust for the nomina

letters over to those who have en-
ployed the detectives. He said to-
day that the letters were yet with
in his call but he refused to tell
into whose hands they had been
placed. They are probably in the
possession of the Moore commit:

revelations of revolving conditions

MEN
SLOW TO DIG

There's wailing and gnashing OF
teeth. and other symptoms OF dis
turbance in the democratic ranks
today. 1t was confidently expected
that e'er now the usual campaign
contribution OF the Liquor Dealers
association would be circulated.
But it refuses to circulate. The Sc
cret of 1t is, liquor dealers have
been together, separated again, and
refused to get together any more
for the time being, at least.
The continued expression Of con-
fidence of the Daggett men has
placed large bug in Mr.. Liquor
Mans ear He reasons that If the
Daggett forces are so far along
with the campaign, have it already
won, etc. what's the use of tapping
the association treasury? Why not
let the campaign run along on the
mere assessments" that have paid
its way thus far? That would
mean a great saving, possibly $10,-
600, to the liquor men. for no one
would think Of conducting a city
machine campaign on less than that
sum
Meanwhile, where does all the
Moore money come from? That
there's plenty OF it there seems no
doubt. There was talk among the
Moore men few days ago of as
sessing each emmber from 81 to SIS.
This, however, has not yet been
done. but someone is dealing gener-
ously with them. Meanwhile the
Daggett men are making promises
and buying a few drinks, Ii Is said.

STRIKES DUE IN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30
Neither the car men nor the United
railway officials took any step to-
day toward arranging another con-
ference. Every indication now IS
that nothing can stop vote on the
question Of striking tonight. The
outlook Is gloomy.
The situation regarding freight
handlers took a favorable turn this
morning and there will be no strike
in this trade tomorrow. S. p of
ficials are receiving demands from
the men with promise of immediate
consideration.
The metal trades men are farther
apart than ever today and the
prospects are that every foundry
in the city will close down tomor-
row. A compromise on the hour
