Tue administrative committee OF lno
Lineoln-RoOsevelt league. consisting OF
Rudolph Spreckels, Daniel A. Ryan and
r w Dohrmann Sr., held a meeting
yesterday and elected Rudolph Spreck-
els chairman League work in all the
districts was carefully reviewed and
the condition OF the fight against the
Herrin machine was found TO be most
promising The members of the COM
mlttee are most optimistic as TO the
outcome of the primary next month.
All the delegate tickets have been
made up and submitted to the commit.
tee, which will arrange for their print
ing and distribution. During the two
weeks that remain a vigorous cam
paign will be waged.
The administrative committee has
commodious headquarters in rooms 107,
109, Ill and 113. Lick building, Mont
gomery street between Post and Sutter
telephone number Douglas 3091, whence
the war on the machine will be gem
eraled.
The committee found that the detec-
ton OF colonization was the most i'm
portant work to be done in the
twenty eighth district A deputy regis
trar is investigating all vacant lots and
lodging houses and all voters who have
registered from such places will be
stricken from the rolls.
In the thirty-third districts reports
indicate that the push" is panic
stricken by the sudden detection from
their ranks Of such prominent residents
as James Anthony. Harry OsgoOd and
others who have declared war on the
Fratessa- Butler outfit. 1t develops that
Joseph McTigue, the Mission street l1ar-
ness maker and a Crimmins follower
has had the promise OF the assembly
nomination. The railroad program is
FrateSSa, so McTigue is after the lat
n 70 . Of Z ha
Young Mems republican club, who stand
for decent politics.
1t has become known that John T.
Pidwen has been promised the sena-
torial nomination two years hence. and
this fact has hurt the push" So has
the placing of Michael O'Connor on the
Fratessa delegate ticket OConnor Is
a union printer, who voted for Otis at
Sacramento and saved himself from be-
ing expelled from his union by plead
ing his ignorance OF politics and the
fact that Fratessa told him to do so.
The ticket IN the thirty-fifth will
contain the names of the most promi-
nent men in the district. DAILY Is very
unpopular with the voters and the
league has every chance.
In the thirty ROlla v Watt
Terry Martin, Franklin Bull, Max Kuhl
and others are continuing a hot fight
against Wolfe and promise to defeat
him.
The league In the thfrty-eighth has
found new strength in the Fillmore
street end Of the district and will in
crease the majority by which 1t carried
the district in May.
All antagOniSmS In the thirty-ninth
have been amicably settled and the dis
trict is a sure shot for the league
very strong ticket has been made
up in the fortieth and the fight against
Kahn goes right merrily. The forty
first is reported as a certainty for the
league. The registration has been re-
markably heavy The machine men
have been chuckling because many old
line democrats in this district have
registered as republicans. but the fact
is that these men were disgusted at the
last primary, when the McNab forces
captured the club formed by the Bell
forces. and they want to enlist as
leaguers this time.
In the forty-ifth the cry OF "Otis"
is hurting Johnny Nelson more and
more every day. The leaguers are
fighting manfully and hope to end
"Budgy's" reign. The union men OF the
district are with them.
