The San Francisco call., 1908-05-01
BOURBONS OPPOSE
DEMOCRATIC BOSS
Opponents of Gavin McNab
Name Delegate Tickets to
Secure Party Control

Standing on a platform which in
cludes such planks as the direet prim-
airy, Asiatic exclusion and the election
of judges who will do their duty by
the city in the graft prosecution, the
San Francisco democratic club an
nounces itself ready for the primary
of next Tuesday, and is busy mailing
its delegate tickets to the democratic
voters in the Is assembly districts in
the city and county.
The San Francisco democratic club
is the organization of local Bourbons
which objects to the ascendency
achieved by Gavin McNab and Is irwin q
to take control of the party out of
his hands. These rebellious democrats
have organized clubs in all the dis
trictS and show signs of unusual actiy-
ity. They claim that their fight is in
splendid shape and that the end of Nc
Nab's reign is already in sight.
The rebels do not mince words in
their attack on McNab and his or
ganization.
When was Gavin McNab ever known
to be right on the labor question or
true to labor's interests or democratic
principles?" they ask in their circular
address to The voters.
I'm proof of our good faith" the cir
cular continues. I'VE call to your at
tention the records of three present
pervisors-Messrs. Murphy, Johnston
and McLeran and former Supervisor
Matt l. Sullivan-all active and leading
members of our club"
The anti-McNab men claim that the
unusually large democratic registration
proves, on analysis, to be made up
mostly of union labor men who have
registered as democrats to take part
in the revolt against McNab
On the other hand. Gavin McNab and
the regulars are not manifesting any
perturbation over the result of the
primaries. They declare that the or
ganization will sweep the city as II
did last year.
So the fight is on and the outcome
Will be watched with considerable in
terest by all who have been waiting
for years to see real SCRAP in the
Bourbon primaries.
