San Francisco is now more corrupt
than ever" said Mrs. Mary Ouigley. OF
San Francisco, at the Shorehan last
night Mrs. Quigley is here attending
the sufragist convention and the d. A. r.
congress
1.-THE people in San Francisco evidently
don't want an honest government. they
prefer graft. and there is every evidence

mayor was elected there were hopes

There are hundreds and thousands OF
ignorant people who do not paw taxes
and who are practically strangers in San
Francisco; they can vote. They have no
! particular interest IN the welfare Of the
city; all they look for is the bribe which
viii buy their ballot.

/ At least that IS my belief and hope. Then
we may have some hopes Of the United
States government looking into san Fran
cisco affairs and taking a hand in 10
