unless you elect a good set of men with
me. We want this whole ticket elected.
We want the best board of supervisors
that was ever elected I'm for all that's
good in San Francisco and I expect to
give you square deal all along the
line.'
Byron Mauzy. candidate for repub-
lican nomination for mayor, addressed
the voters of the thirty ninth district
at a meeting held last night in Rich
mond hall 1t was a well attended and
enthusiastic gathering of voters. and
when Marshal Hale proposed three
cheers for the standard bearer the
crowd responded with hearty vigor.
Msuzy spoke after several candidates
on the independent ticket had pro-
claimed his views on civic problems,
and he found it unnecessary on that
/ account to make an extended address.
Z The speakers who interpreted his posi-
tion among them City Attorney Percy
/ V Long, r H Dam, chairman of the
county committee, and Chester H. Row
4 ell of Fresno, laid particular stress
upon Mauzys uncompromising cham
pionship of the Hetch Hetchy project.
FRESNO ORATOR SPEAKS
"AlI of US throughout the state" said
Rowell, are interested in the fight
which you men are making in San
Francisco. You are making the fight
for u.s. Two years under Byron Mauzy
are going to justify us in accepting
the government which San Francisco
will give the rest Of the state through
sheer force of census figures.
Much has been said about the so
called 'businessmen's ticket but to my
mind you have a ticket which should
appeal just as we'll to the businessmen
and to all other men a whole lot more.
Ef1eiency is the peculiar VIRTUE of
businessmen; yet these men have had
to apologize for the men they picked.
They say that as between a scala
wag and a reformer it's a choice of
evils, but they will take the scalawag.
Any set Of men who put themselves
forward to do your thinking for you
and then farm out the job and let Tim
Sullivan do it for them, are not fit to
choose your candidates for public Of
fee. Their combination of business and
push politics is not worthy to repre-
sent San Francisco. They can't hurt
the material prosperity OF the city, for
that is firmly established; but they GER
tainly can injure its moral tone.
F. H. Dam, chairman of the republi-
can county committee, referred to the
fact that 21 members. a majority of
the county committee, had indorsed
the candidacy of Byron Mauzy in let
ter laying special stress upon his dec
laration in favor of Hetch Hetchy.
PRAISE HETCH HETCHY RECORD
NO other republican candidate for
mayor" said Dam. has declared him
self unequivocally for that project. We
want for our chief executive man
who is in thorough sympathy with
az candidate in
terviewed at a time when he hadn't
time. perhaps, to consult his friends
and advisers so he didn't have any
opinion. Later he declared that he was
in favor of having pure water and
that it should come from the Sierras;
but in that cumbersome letter, written
for him by another man whose name
7 know. there was no mention of Hetch
Hetchy.
s"The thirty-ninth district is partic-
ularly in favor of the Geary street
railroad project. II there is anything
that is an eyesore and a reproach to
our city it is the Geary street road.
Byron Mauzy favors the resuomissloh
of this question to the voters"
Referring to the independent repub-
licans as the .progressives," City At
torney Long also dwelt upon the I'M
portance of the Hetch Hetchy question:
IT should not be political issue, ne
said, but owing to the efforts or GER
tain interests anxious to procure larger
dividends on their investment 1t has
been injected into this fight. The league
stands committed on this question
SCORE, BUSINESSMEN" TICKLE It
The candidates on the so called bust
nessmen's ticket" declared E. J. Callan,
candidate for sheriff, haven't taken
any one into their confidence and told
how they would handle the vital prob
lens of the city. unless they have con-
/ fded their views TO the utility corpora
tions go before the voters in this
/ fashion argues the rarest type of nerve
ever exhibited in local politics.
I'VE have placed before the people"
said Marshall Hale. Candidates who are
above reproach. They owe no allegiance
/ to any faction, individual or corpora
ton; they are independent agents, free
/ to administer the laws as they find
them, without fear or favor; to give the
corporations and the people equally
square deal"
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of making plans for precinct
work throughout the big district on
! primary election day. and this matter
was taken UP after the various candi-
dates and other speakers had finished.
Olin NJ. Berry. president of the inde-
pendent republican club of the thirty
ninth district, presided.
Among the other candidates who
made brief speeches were George A,
Turner. candidate for public admins
traitor; A G. Boggs, candidate for re-
