DEMOCRATIC CLUB
INDORS[S H[N[Y
Adopts Resolutions Supporting
Noted Graft Prosecutor
for District Attorney

Following up their primary campaign
for Francis J. Heney, the members of
the democratic club of the thirty
ninth district met at their headquarters.
339 Clement street, last Tuesday, unani-
mously Endorsed the special prosecutor,
pledged him their heartiest support and
called upon all good citizens to unite
with them in their efforts TO elect him
district attorney w. +. Petition pre-
sided at the meeting and H. L. Delaney
was secretary. Here are the Heney
resolutions adopted by the club:
Resolved fiat the San Francisco democratic
club declares its most emphatic support OF the
principle of equality before the law, which is
the cornerstone not only OF this government
but of an free and enlightened government al
ways and everywhere; that the application and
administration OF the law in the same manner
for all is indispensable to the freedom OF
any people and deceney in government, and the
only safeguard against lawlessDess and oppres-
sion: that no public official has legal or moral
right TO subject one class or condition OF the
people 10 the rfgors and penalties or the law
while others are permitted to nagrantly vioiate
and openly defy the law: that government is
not only justified but in solemn duty to the re-
mainder of the people bound to expend any
amount of time and money found necessary, in
the impartial enforcement of these fundamental
principles of civilized society.
Resolved that not only indorse but demand
the prosecution or great criminals as Wen as
petty Offenders without regard TO the influence.
wealth or social position of the accused, and
upon the principles here declared we heartily
indorse the present graft prosecution IN san
Francisco. and declare that IL would be an act
OF gross cowardce to yield TO the paid sophistry
Of certain interests which clamor for the aban-
donment of the manly position taken by the dis
trIct attorneys office
. Resolved that in Francis J. Hepey we recog-
nize one of the foremost prosecutors of this
country: that we fully appreciate the tremen-
dous sacrifices he has already made in the In
ierests OF The people of this great new city =;
inst we consider his overwhelming election in
dispensable 10 the maintenance OF the moral and
financial credit of this.eity. and that We hereby
pledge and tender 20 him enthusiastic sup
port for the office of district attorney Of the
city of San Francisco and urge every good citi-
zen TO unite with us in that behalf

little doubt that he will come away with
the little gold "slnker' emblcmatic of

before he accompl!shes the feat the

stacles to surmount that may stop him.
First Of all. Sheppard must get leave
of absence. Then there's the existing
war between the American A. a. L. and
the British A. a. \. Will the American
governing body give Sheppard permission
to compete on British soil? Again, will
the Englishman accept the entry OF one

three obstacles Sheppard will have TO

for any one to answer who has been
identified and mixed up in the ring
game as long as / have been and know
as many great fighters as / have met
However. right off the reel, without
much thought, / said that Joe Choynski
had about as much of what is generally
known as fighting ability as any man
l had ever met or had ever known.
Choynski Great Fighter.
Had Joe Choynski possessed forty
more pounds of weight and retained all
of his natural speed and ability he
would have been a wonderful man.
Even as small as he was he gave some
of the champions their hardest battles.
If you think Choynski couldn It hit, ask
Jeffries or Bob FitZsimmons. If you
have an idea that old Joe was not
there with ring generalship, ask the
writer, who met him several times IN
his early days,
Bob Fitzsimmons as any fighter ever
did until Bob was given one-way
ticket to Dreamland by Jeffries. In
their limited round battle at Boston
Fitzsimmons was really out completely
on wallop of Choynski. Joe had a
punch like a kick from the left hind
foot of Missouri mule, aud he had a
way of getting 1T to vital spot that
fooled lot of fighters.
The second battle ] had with
Choynski was fought in Benecia Bay,
in California. l won in the twenty
seventh round, and the way did it was
what makes the contest one of the most
remarkable in all the annals Of the
fighting game. We fought in the day
time, and when we started both of US
were in the best Of condition. There had
been lot of talk about Joe having it
on me and that he would beat me.
About the fourth round we discov-
cred that the sun was going to be fac
tor in the battle. The hot rays Of old
Sol beat down on us like the flames of
furnace. Falling across the ring as the
fight started was shadow of the pilot
house on the boat, the only thing that
resembled a cover In the eighth round
7 started for the protection the pilot
house offered and Choynski did, too.
There we were, both thinking of what
the pilot house would do for US IL we
could only stay in the shadow Of it.
Shadow Big Factor.
J think l was able to stay under the
cover Of it about two-thirds of the time,
although Joe gave me merry chase
every minute of the time. ] honestly
believe it helped me whip the great
man that -Cboynski was.
He had more ring science and actual
fighting nerve than any of our present
light heavyweight fighters, He side
stepped no one and took the big with
the little. Tommy Burns, who held the
title for two years, would have been
soft picking for Choynski in his prime.
