THE UNION LABOR BALLOT
Thanks TO the work of the Mccarthy
Casey secret conference and the ruling
Of The election commission requiring
1929 signatures for g place on the union
labor ballot. the contests for union
LABOR nominations viii be few. Sui
livsn VIII fight Mccarthy for the place
a ithe head Of the ticket and there may
be three candidates for the two nolh-
nations &c the police bench. There
viii be no union labor candidate for
district attorney, unless a dark horse is
developed today. Such development is
unlikely. The McCarthy-Case combine
has passed the word TO the faithful TO
wEite the name of c. n Fickert on
fhb5r ballots for district attorney.
Flckert, who is the son-in-law of J. II.
Wallace Of the Southern Pacific, was
on the Mccarthy salte and his name
would have been printed on the union
labor ballot if It had not been for the
supreme court decision in the primary
case Fickert is on the Sullivan regu-
lar republican slate and II is hoped
that by writing his name on the union
labor ballot he may get the two NOM
nations which were framed for him
originally
The democratic primary ballot will
not include a candidate for district at
torney. The bourbons Of the san
Francisco democratic club and many
Of the regulars viii write in the name
Of Francis J. Heney. who is a republic
an and has announced that he will run
Independently The democrats figure
tlst in any event Heney will get the
democratic nomination and be assured
Of a place on the general election bal
lot regardless Of his Independent petit
ton.
Rothchild is the sole representative
OF the independent republicans super
risorial selections, on the Sullivan
slate. Greif and McDougald. for county
clerk and treasurer respectively, were
in6orsed by the independent republi-
cans and Sullivan is for Fl. G. Mathew
son, who was Endorsed by the indepen-
dents for auditor. Johnnie Lynch is
supposed TO want the regular" label
put on r. ". Dennis for auditor. Sui
