M'NAB HAS PICKED
II SUPERVISORS
One Place in Doubt, but it May
Be Filled by George 6.
Salch
No Formal Endorsement by
County Committee, but Word
Will Be Passed Along

VIII be PaSSe0 Along
The regular or McNab democratic or
ganization will indorse a supervisorial
ticket. There VIII be no formal indorse-
ment by resolution in the county COM
mittee. No committee of ex parte adj
visers will make up slate, but the
faithful Will be advised as TO the iden-
tity OF the organization candidates for
supervisors in ample time to avoid mis-
takes at the primary polls.
The democratic organization super
visorial ticket will be made up by the
leaders OF the party-Gavin McNab,
Thomas w. Hickey and Charlie Fay
In conference with others of less prom
inence but equal activity Indeed, that
ticket has been virtually completed.
The organization has definitely deter
mined upon II candidates who will re-
ceive its Endorsement for democratic
nomination for supervisors.
ONE PLACE IN DOUBT
Only one place is in doubt. That place
has been tentatively assigned to George
c. Salch, a manufacturers agent, who
has DGSu tuIHlHB QOuD1S SUucE SLuHlS
between the anti-machine bourbons and
the McNab organization. Salch's can
didacy, for which no satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION has yet been given, was
launched through the medium of the
San Francisco democratic club, the
anti-McNab organization. For time he
was virulently antagonistic to the Mo
Nab organization. He wanted mono of
that unholy outfit. He was one OF the
do or die reforners. Then he saw
light. Its rays illuminated a place on
the McNab slate and a probable NOM
ination. He deserted the San Francisco
democratic club and it's candidates. He
promised TO be organization and de-
clared that he was imbued with the rs
for one-one for IS" spirit.
He may be declared in on the rs for
one" slate. II he is not, his San Fran
cisco democratic club Endorsement may
still pass current with the antiMc-
Nabites. Both are open questions.
WILL INFORM THE FAITHFUL
In any event the regular democratic
organization has decided upon II super
visorial candidates who will receive it's
Endorsement. The names of these can
didates will probably be sent to all reg
istered democrats, together with the
information that they are regular
The regular democratic slate has been
made UP, naturally enough, with an eye
to its vote getting strength. Not all of
the meme to be Endorsed by the McNab
organization have played politics in the
back yard Of that organization. Indeed,
some.of them have been quite frank in
their outspoken opposition to the or
ganization. Let 1t be understood in this
connection that the McNab organization
has picked up no new men of known
antf-QrQa nizafinn fnndanriaS. The fouv
anti-organization men Endorsed by the
regular democrats are members of the
sitting board of supervisors. Their rec
ords and their abilities as vote getters
have been permitted to offset any preju-
dices engendered by their lack of fealty
to the organization.
TEN INCUMBENT SUPERVISORS
The McNab slate includes every one
of the incumbent democratic supervisors
who, willingly or unwillingly, became a
candidate for denomination and re-elec-
ton. There are 10 in all, and quite as
different in their attitudes toward pub
lie questions as in their attitudes to-
ward the McNab organization.
1t is undoubtedly true that some of
the incumbents and some of the new
men on the democratic organization
slate would not be in the field had the
organization made its nominations by
convention. The fact that these candi-
dates have been or will be Endorsed by
the McNab organization is of public in
terest and has some Importance. Since
the nominations are to be made by d.
rect vote of the democrats the records
of the men are vastly more important.
For the information of democrats par
ticularly and the public generally these
records are given briefly herewith.
DR.. ZumwaIt to Withdraw
DR.. Fred H. Zumwalt, republican can
didate for coroner, has decided to
withdraw from the fight in favor of
Dr. w. +. McNutt Jr, the candidate
Endorsed by the businessmen's commit
tee of 25.
DR.. Zumwalt was waited upon by
subcommittee of the Disbursements
committee on Tuesday and asked to
consider the proposition of retiring
from the field. He returned no def
mite answer and the committee called
on him again on Wednesday.
The result of this second visit was
that DR.. Zumwalt dispatched a letter
to the committee, signifying his will
ingness to take no further steps to Sc
cure his nomination.
DR.. Roland E. Hartley had already
taken the same action. There now re-
main as active candidates for the re-
publican nomination for coroner DIR.
w. F. McNutt Jr., DR.. Benjamin Apple,
Dr. E. M. Bixhy and DR.. C. C. O,Don-
nell.
