BOURBONS IN
SAN MATEO FIGHT
Geo. A. Tracy Controls 80 Votes
With McNab and Doodle Dee
Endorsement
Alexander M. Robertson, With
Four Delegates, May Secure
Deciding Votes

One of the most interesting contests
of the nominating season will be de-
cided tomorrow, when the delegates to
the democratic convention of the fifth
congressional district meet to nominate
a congressman. The convention will be
afternoon in Athletic hall. San Mateo.
by Pete Heggerty of the thirty-seeond
district.
There are four candidates in the
field-George A Tracy, John w. Swee-
ney, Alexander NJ Robertson and Rich
ard e Dinnigan.
Tracy, the president of the state
federation of labor, of the allied print
ing trades council and of the local
typographical union, is the McNab can
didate. He has received the nOmina-
tion of the independence league He
has 80 votes in the convention. the
solid delegations from the thirty-sec-
ond, thirty-fifth, thirty-seventh and
hirty-eighth and five of the six votes
in the thirty-third. In order 10 get the
nomination he needs five more, for
there are 6S delegates and il takes 50
to nominate.
SWEENEY HAS 10
Sweeney. the president of the San
Francisco labor council, is the Bell
candidate. He has the 19 delegates
from Santa Clara county, one from the
thirty-sixth and six from the thirty
ninth in this city, a total of 26-
Robertson, the we'll known book
seller of this city, has the four dele
gates from San Mateo county, where
he makes his home. Dinnigan has the
seven delegates of the thirty-fourth
district and one from the thirty third.
total of eight.
Indications point to the withdrawal
of Sweeney from the contest after the
first ballot. In that event the twenty
six delegates he has behind him will
probably switch to Robertson They
will not go to Tracy, because Tracy is
the McNab candidate and the nominee
of the independence league The
Santa Clara delegation is very strongly
-McNab and anti-Hearst; the seven
Bell delegates, of course. will not take
McNab program.
DINNIGAN MAY DECIDE
If Robertson gets Sweeney's strength
he win have the 80 delegates, or the
same number that Tracy now controls.
Dinnigans eight votes will then be-
come the key to the nomination.
Dinnigan says he is in the fight to
stay and that he can stay long enough
to get the nomination through defec-
tions from the ranks of his opponents.
But this is unlikely. Dinnigan is a
McNab man, though he is at present in
the position of lighting McNab's can
dfdate. So he can not get any of the
anti -McNab votes. He can hardly get
any of those pledged to Tracy, either.
If Dinnigan should decide that there
| is no hope of winning he probably
would release the eight delegates
pledged to him. In that event it seems
very probable that they would vote for
Tracy, for they are McNab men and
would take program if they were not
I " r1lo To
On the other hand, Robertson is
confident that he can obtain enough
votes to insure him the nomination. 1t
is very interesting fight and it will
be decided tomorrow in San Mateo,
Robertsons home town.

settle the prohibition question in so
days"
Continuing this line of argument,
Chain instanced his home city, Chi
cago:
aAll good things come out of Chi
cago and they're nearly all out. 1t
won't be 10 years before they have
submitted all the ten commandments
to the people of Chicago and they'll
repeal every one of them.
Suppose you should get prohibition
from congress? You ask me how we
could enforce it in the big cities like
New York and Chicago, the evil cities
Il won't include San Francisco l
answer-the way the law against
polygamy was enforced in Utah. Brig
ham Young wanted local option in
wives. but the government said he was
wrong and sent United States attor-
neys and marshals to Utah who were
against polygamy. and they sent over
1000 polygamists to the penitentiary.
If elected, I'll do to the saloon keeper
what you democrats and republicans
did to the Mormons. 1 won't turn the
enforcement of the law over to couple
of old half drunk whisky parties"

ATTACKS TAFT AND BRYAN
One Is Vicious, the Other Be-
hind the Time

Laughingly good humored for. the
most part, Eugene w. Chain, prohibi-
tion candidate for president, waxed
serious last night when his campaign
speech in Christian Science hall brought
him around to criticism of local op-
which comfortably filled the big as
sembly room, stopped laughing at his
witty banter when he declared:
In 40 years no presidential candi-
date ever uttered such vicious political
doctrine as Taft did when he told the
Yale graduates two years ago that no
law should be passed until the ma
jority is in favor of it and it is sure
to be enforced"
And it was in all seriousness that
he paid his respects to Bryan thus:
are local. Bryan's are. on the liquor
question. We must have national
morals to solve the liquor problem.
Bryan on the liquor question stands
slavery. He's Douglas democrat SO
years behind the march of Christian
civilization"

awfully tired. The conservative man
is the man who doesn't want to do
anything so radical as to do right.
He's a compromiser In politics he
wants the votes. of the good and bad
right or legs enough to run away.
In 1850 the conservative wanted
popular sovereignty. In 1908 the con-
servative wants local option. But You
can't have local option in moral oues-
tions. The republican party was born
on the proposition that you can not sub
nit moral questions to the vote of the
people and that a majorityscan not make
wrong right Lincoln told the people
that the country couldn't have two
standards of morals If that would

Der he win have run the gamut from
state legislator to president He was
running for governor of Illinois when
the Columbus convention was swept off
its feet by one of his speeches and
promptly drafted him for the head of
its national ticket.
Chain was born in Wisconsin in
1852. His father was a republican
Hayes and Garfield. The republican
Legislature of Wisconsin refused in
1881 to submit prohibition constitu
tional amendment to the voters of the
Badger state, and when the republican
state convention refused a few months
later to incorporate plank in its plat
form calling for the submission of such
an amendment, Chain, who was sitting
in the state house at Madison, decided
to hold a prohibition convention. He
informed Theodore d. Kanouse, now a
resident of Los Angeles, that Kanouse
was going to be the prohibition candi
date for governor of Wisconsin.
Chafn, Kanouse, Samuel D. Hastings
and II. H Giles formulated a call, held
state convention within a week and
Kanouse was nominated. Chain was
through with a party that would not
permit the people to vote on any ques-
has been no sacrifice for his party too
great for Chain. When it wanted a
candidate for anything, Chafin was on
the job. He has run for the legisla-
ture, congress, district attorney, at
torney general, governor, and is now
marching on the White House.
Chain is not a strikingly handsome
man, but he is good to look upon He
is a lawyer, but looks like a prosper
Gus farmer enjoying vacation. The
shiny top of his bald head, his bland
face and his strong hands are Drowned
as if by the sun. His stubby, grizzled
mustache and deep set eyes are those
of the man of the fields, while his long
frock coat, rundown collar and ready
made black tie are those of a thou
sand middle western farmers Chain
stands feet 10 inches. He weighs 1S5
pounds and, like Vice President Fair
banks, never changes his weight He
looks to be more than feet in height
and to tip the beam at 225 pounds
Chain may never be president of. the
United States, but he is having J the
time of his life. and his laugh should
win the grand presidency of all the
optimist clubs, and that without
struggle.
