and with the machine men divided, the
nomination and election of decent
assemblyman from the thirty-third is
assured.

by the good government forces twice
within a year The free republicans OF
the district are reunited and they Will
increase the majorities they rolled up
last May and in August, 1907. Johnny
DAILY is captain of the railroad forces
in the thirty-fifth. Daily has managed
to carry water on both shoulders with
more or less success until this year.
The league has pushed him into the
open. He is fighting under his true
colors and those colors are not popular
In the thirty-ffth, where the repub-
licans are in revolt against the political
tricksters who have traded them year
after year.
EGGERS HAS sTRANGLE HOLD
Fred Eggers has strangle hold in
the thirty-sixth district. which he main
tains not because the people of the dis
trict are Indifferent to good govern
ment or worshipers at the Herrin
shrine. but because the district has
never been properly organized against
him. That he will nominate the assem-
blyman and control the one vote from
the district in the congressional con-
vention seems foregone conclusion
The thirty seventh district has tired
of the Misrepresentation it has suf-
fered at the hands of Eddie Wolfe for
IL years and puppet assemblymen for
as many more. The thirty-seventh
turned on Fisk and his strikers last
year, beating them in every precinct In
the district Eddie Wolfe carpet baSged
into the thirty-seventh end of the sena-
torial district, and in combination with
Fisk went down to we'll deserved de-
feat in May Fully aroused, the decent
republicans of the district are organized
as they never have been before They
are carrying the war into the enemies
camp They are thoroughly organized
and their organization is headed by
men who not only are representative
of the district but are among the first
men of San Francisco. #

Probes. The officers are representa-
tive of the membership OF the
club, which has the backing OF
the great majority of the republicans
of the district. They are tired OF Eddie
Wolfe, Dennis Barry. Arthur Fisk, his
man Gallagher-carried on the post
office roll to do Herrin politics in the
thirty -seventh-and all their unsavory
Herrin following.
The thirty seventh will nominate a
free republican for the assembly and
insure the nomination of an apti-Her-
rim republican for the senate from the
twenty-flrst senatorial district, OF
which it is the major portion
GOOD CITIZENS AROUSED
Sammy Beckett is counting on success
in the thirty-eighth and basing his esti-
mates on the narrow margin by which
his ticket was defeated in May. There
is more at stake this time. The slender
proportions of their victory in May has
aroused the good citizens of the district
to their danger. and retirement for
Beckett will be formally announced al
the primary polls.
The thirty-ninth district is harried by
ambitious politicians, but the distric
has purged itself of the Maestretti in
iuence of bygone days and will agar
align itself with the forces of goot
government by an overwhelming ma
jority. The majority of the republi-
cans of the thirty-ninth are not con
cerned with the schemes for the ag'
grandizement of any individual, bu
they are tremendously interested in sc.
curing honest government end decen
representation in congress and the state
legislature.

the hardest fights in San Francisco. The
