MAYOR LOSES
PRIMARY Vote
Mccarthy Disenfranchises Him.
self by Registering as a
Union LabOrite

That the bargain for the delivery of
the union labor organization vote TO
the machine and Alden Anderson, it's
candidate for governor, does not in
volve the delivery of Mayor P. H. Nc
Carthy's vote is conclusively proved by
neat duplicated document on file
at the old city hall.
That document is Mayor p. II. Nc
Carthy's affidavit of regstratio In
it the mayor under oath describes him
self as member of and affiliated with
the union labor party. BY that descrip-
tion he barred himself from voting
participation in the direct primary
election August 16
The primary Acknowledgement of
Mayor Mccarthy was not the result
of mistake or neglect on the part of
the mayor. The chief executive of
San Francisco was not one of the
1000 electors enrolled as members of
the union labor party who failed to
effect transfer of registration after
learning that the union labor party
would have no primary or general cleo
ton ticket this year. The mayor reg
1stered several days after his party
managers had advised the world at
large that there would be no union
labor ticket
When the stirring times of next
years municipal campaign arrive none
can accuse Mccarthy of giving his. own
vote to Alden Anderson or any other
candidate for republican nomination
to state or legislative office
Shortly after his election Mayor Nc
Carthy declared that in state and ma
l10 -
ter the state convention of the building
trades council the mayor said that
there would be no union labor ticket
this fall. The ticket portion of the
mayors promise has been redeemed
His state and county committees filed
no petition for a ballot and issued no
call for a platform convention as re-
quired by law for the establishment of
party identity
The compact which resulted in the
machine giving its support to Mccarthy
for mayor was supposed to carry with
1t the unbending support of his admins
tration for the machines candidate for
state nomination. When Alden Ander-
son was brought out by the Herrin ma
chine Leon Dennery was shooed away
from the city administra TONS politics
and his local management of Anderson's
hunt for votes was advertised as carry
ing with it the active support OF the
to white wings
The advertisements which accompan-
led the delivery of Anderson's local
campaign to Leon Dennery may have
been accurate in all of their particu-
lars but one. That Anderson will not
get Mayor McCarthy's vote at the pri-
mary election is no longer open to
question The mayor settled that when
he registered as member of the un-
ion labor party.
kendrick Strong Candidate
Joseph A. Kendrick. who is a seeker
for the republican nomination for the
assembly from the thirty-second dis
trict. is showing himself to be a Wig
orous contender in the three cornered
contest that is being waged. Although
new to active politics he is making a
strong bid for support William T.
Kennedy, one of his opponents. has the
Lincoln Roosevelt league Endorsement
with William M. Giblin, who is sup
posed to have the machine support.
kendrick is credited. however, with
having cut into the league vote to
considerable extent, in addition to car
rying big personal backing.
Mueller Wins Support
At a meeting of the thirty eighth
district Improvement club last even
ing a resolution was adopted indors-
ing the candidacy of Carl w. Mueller
for the republican nomination for JUS
tice of the peace. Alden Anderson
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for governor, was extended an
invitation to address the club at its
next meeting.
