brother, Black" Hayes. are forcing in
San Jose.
The Hayes brothers have not waited
for the union labor organization to
throw down the gauntlet They have
rolled up their sleeves and waded into
labor for the first punch. They have
made union labor the issue; held up
San Francisco to the voters of San
Jose as a horrible example of what
they may expect from a union labor
administration, and, just to make it
good, have brought out a nonunion
laundryman as the opponent of Bust
ness Agent Walter G. Mathewson for
councilman at large.
AFRAID OF DAWSON
The Hayes brothers understand that
il Dawson wins his nayoralty fight |
he is to be the machine candidate
against Red" Hayes for republican
nomination to congress in the fifth /
district. They understand that the /
Dawson congressional program in
wolves the promotion of Councilman at I
Large Mathewson to the office of |
mayor when Dawson resigns to make
the congressional fight.
That they should fight Dawson was
to be expected. That they should go /
after Mathewson on straight out and /
out union labor issue was not ex-
pected. Some of the puzzled long hair |
republicans of the district are of the |
opinion that Johnnie Mackenzie has
done something more than encourage
the Hayes opposition to Mathewson |
for the purpose of insuring a big /
breach between the congressman and /
the thousands of union labor voters
who have supported him. even against
a recognized union labor leader.

Hayes accepts personal responsibility t
for the citizens ticket, upon which |
Mathewsons opponent for councilman
at large is Harvey S. Kelley, who is
said to be nonunion laundryman.
Here are some of the tidbits served up
for the edifcation of the San Jose
electors by the Mercury under the cap
ton, The Citizens~of San Jose Should
Remember:
That the three candidates for
councilman on the Dawson ticket
are union labor men, headed by
Walter G. Mathewson, the business
agent of the union and that he
controls the candidates on this
ticket now seeking election. as well
the two holdover labor union
councilmen.
That if the Dawson ticket is
elected, Walter q. Mathewson viii
control the council, with all that
implies, for four years from July
next.
some higher office, as he doubtless
will if opportunity offers, Mathew
son would be elected mayor by the
council AS mayor, MatheWson
would appoint labor union man
whom he could control as council
man at large, who would hold until
have complete control of every
branch of the city government.
Remember the experience of San
Francisco in deciding.
~RED- May REPUDIATE
Take it by and wide, there is class
to that def. We may be advised by
wire from Washington that Red
Hayes is more in sympathy with
Black Hayes tanning of the labor
union men than he was in accord with
Blacks" excoriation of the Herrin
machine Meanwhile the def goes and
the disinterested spectator is compelled
to admit that the nerve exhibited by
the brunette Hayes at home is fair
offset for the discretion shown by the
blonde brother at Washington when
he went to lunch to prevent the insur-
gents from insurging Joe Cannon off
the job entirely.
Nat Ellerys executive committee
will meet in San Francisco today.
That committee is said to include capt.
talists, merchants, professional men
and well known union labor men. 1t

whirlwind campaign Ellery is to make

corps of speakers. When it comes to
cocksureness none of the other candi-
dates has anything on Ellery or his

one of the leaders of Ellery's booster
league in the south, arrived yesterday.

Not bad news from Harvey. Press
Agent Loughborough, who is also Ell

He says that while he is confident that
