DOODLE DEES NOW
LEAD DEMOCRATS
Supreme Court Holds That
League Polled More Votes
in City
Mayor Taylor Must Appoint
Election Commissioners
From It's Ranks

Tie petition of the independence
league for a writ of mandate TO COM
pei Mayor Edward r. Taylor to appoint
ranks of the independence league party
on the assumption that the doodle dees
polled a higher vote in San Francisco
at the last gubernatorial election. than
did the democratic party, was granted
yesterday by the supreme court, and
Mayor Taylor will in all probability
announce his new appointees in few
days.
IN appointing the election commits
sioners MayoA Taylor was guided by
! the votes that the democratic candi-
date, Bell, and the independent candi-
date. Langdon, received in San Fran
cisco.
The doodle dees in their petition con-
tended that the mayor was guided only
by the votes received by the two can
didates as a total and that he did not
take into consideration the fact that
Bell, who had both the democratic
and union labor nominations, re
ceived votes from both of those par
ties and that Langdon, who received
only independence league votes, re-
ceived~ more independence party, votes
than did Bell democratic votes.
In this case there was evidence OF
a very cogent character, which ough
to have been satisfactory to the mayor
that the democratic vote for Bell in
San Francisco was less than the inde-
pendence vote for Langdon, is the way
the decision reads.
Mayor Taylor said yesterday after
noon that Judging from the. decision
he would have to appoint two doodle
dees, bat that he could not say what
he would do unti1 he had read the de-
cision.
