Mauzy in Battle

BY GEORGE A. VAN SMITH

"We as republicans and citi-
xens of San Francisco owe it
to our city and our party to do
everything In our power to elect
of San Francisco.-
That was the emphatic declar-
alton of Byron Mauzy, yesterday
afternoon.
Byron Mauzy, candidate of the
independent republicans for the
mayoralty nomination, put him
self squarely against the at
tempts to make democratic capt.
tai out of an alleged independent
republican soreness over the re-
suits of the primary contest for
the place at the head of the. re-
publican ticket.
Mauzy declared himself for
his successful opponent and
called upon all republicans to
perform their duty by their par
ty and their city by voting for
and supporting the candidate
who won in a fair fight.

nately very few of the men al
lied with the Independent re-
publicans' conference, wanted a
delay that might advantage them
in the bargains they hoped to be
able to drive.
The motives of the latter had
no bearing on Mauzy's silence
of two weeks. He believed that
he owed something to the men
who had made his fight, and he
was ready to concur in their OPT

About six days ago I wrote a letter
