HEARS CANDIDATES
P. II. Mccarthy, Charles M.
Fickert and Others Make
Speeches in Mission
Present Municipal Administra-
ton Is Bitterly Denounced
at Meeting

ana other candidates who seek union
labor nominations addressed a meet
ing held under the auspices of the
union labor club of the thirty third
district at 1855 Mission street last
night. The incumbent municipal adj
ministration was bitterly attacked by
several of the speakers.
This reception" said p. II. Nc
Carthy," is not so much for p. II. Nc
earthly as for the cause P. II. Mccarthy
stands for, cause dear to the hearts
OF all who love San Francisco. Some
time ago we undertook to give San
Francisco a government by the people.
1 personally led that fight. Our
friends, the good government forces,
brought into play all that imagination
could stand without being burst and
rent asunder, and 1 was defeated.
Our friends haven't left us much of
the old San Francisco, but fortunately
they have left us the name. We will
build on the name; we will bring peo-
pie together, eliminate the internal
war that is going on here and make
this city the Paris of America"
This program, Mccarthy explained,
could not be carried out unless union
labor would beware the "spellbinders
and the editorial writers" and the men
who had a couple of hundred thousand
dollars to spend. The mention or
wealth caused Mccarthy to refer TO a
newspaper writer who had Described
his diamonds and he gave a detailed
history of the three gems to which he
pleaded guilty.
Three months after the present ad-
ministration took office" he declared,
san Francisco was in possession OF
nine soup houses"
FICKERT PLEADS CAUSE
Charles NJ. Fickert told how he had
"bucked wheat sacks down the san
Joaquin"
IF / am elected he said. L will
punish offenders, but not through per
sonal animosity or to gloat because L

abridged their liberty. l will treat the
man with the 100000 and the hum
Bile man exactly alike"
Timothy B. Healy. candidate for SUI

Charles F. Fleishmann, president of

clared when cooks had to work every
day in the week as we'll rs Sundays.

dorsement than the Endorsement of the
bunch that met in the st. Francis un-

was Endorsed by the disbursements COM

The good government crowd have
proved poor officials" quoth Thomas p.
O'Dowd. another supervisorial candi-
date. II don't get anything from the
