DELANEY THE ONLY ADVISOR

San Francisco Cal. June 21-Tex
Richard left for Reno no sadder than
the town he left behind. The warm
blooded citizens. the hotel keepers, and
local politicians and the lawyers hated
to let go of him. It means lot to San
Fran not only to lose the fight but to
have 1t demonstrated so convincingly
that the powers at Sacramento can
wanton at viii with the city's chosen
way Of going.
The events Of the last forty-e eight
hours may have little or no bearing on
the vexed question Of white or colored
domination with boxing gloves. but as
a study of rough-toss political meth
DDS they are immense.
1t was after midnight when Richard
let go, or rather when those who were
holding him let go. If left to his own
judgment he says he would have recog-
nized at once the futility of workin e
for any recession on Gov. Gillett's part
or of any attempt to oppose the exer-
else of his will.
Fail to Bulge Governor.
Mayor Mccarthy and business men
who have large investments here in
enterprises that would hardly be profit
able if the place were run on the mar
row lines of communities where the
spirit Of reform is more at home, passed
all day with the governor to no pur-
pose. His excellency could not be ca
joled or threatened into yielding a,
inch
None but the desperate defenders of
civic sovereignty ever dreamed that he
would back down after his first proc
lamation. but Richard thought it worth
the chance to stick and delay the an
nouncement of his plant until the sus-
picion got abroad that he was doing a
little stalIng on his own account, and
that with this productive base yanked
from under him he was not quite sure
OF his ability to go ahead with his part
of the articles of agreement.
Richard Fights Shy of Pen.
Tt was represented to Richard by
alleged big men in San Fran" that he
could defy the governor and win out
in the end; that after all the man at
Sacramento would be forced to come
down off his high horse and that the
fight could be pulled or IN spite Of him
But as much Of a gambler as he Is
Richard could not see where he could
afford to bet his prize fight against a
| term in San Quentin
With Richard and the best part O,
| army now on their way to Reno. San
Fran has settled down into its normal
| condition, whic his a condition of per
| petual hope that something will han
pen TO swell the flood of tourist trave

/ penditure for places Of entertainment
San Fran is fitted up to accommodate

/ Ing all this to the metropolis Of the
state.
Gillett Plays Game of Politics.
Mr.. Gillett however, is credited witt
hguring 1t that the hit he has made
! throughout the state will carry hin
into the United States senate wher
Senator Perkins retires But that !,

Jeffries and Johnson are now ar
