San Francisco, Sept. 16.-San Francisco is
nearing the end Of one Of the hardest
fought primary campaigns in the history OF
the city. and all indications point to the
defeat of the labor union administration
which controls nearly every department OF
the city government, by an overwhelming
vote The primary election will be held
week from Tuesday. Under the charter as
amended all candidates who receive clear
majority at the primary are considered
elected and do not have to face contest
at the regular election in November. In
case no candidate for an office receives a
majority at the primary, then the two
highest on the list are chosen 10 stand AT
the regular election. James Rolph, the In
dependent candidate for Mayor, is the
favorite in betting over Mayor Mccarthy
at odds of TO l. Betting at 4 TO l that
Rolph will be elected at the primary is
common. and there is but little Mccarthy
money in sight even at these odds. 1t Is
thought likely that practically the entire
union labor ticket will so down to defeat.
The dissatisfaction of labor men with the
administration of Mccarthy is one of the
important factors in the contest They feel
that the so-called wide open" town and
Paris OF America" have not brought them
the prosperity they expected, and they find
that their unions to-day are weaker than
they were when Mccarthy took office two
years ago. Even saloon men who formerly
stood solidly with Mccarthy and his gang
are against him now, because they have
learned that their business is hopelessly at
the mercy OF the men who are backing the
Mayor. There is feeling among all classes
OF voters that San Francisco is in some
sense on trial before the country; that the
city is expected by those who have assisted
1t in securing the Panama exposition to
purge itself Of the gang that has been in
control OF affairs for the last two years.

Mr.. TAFT STARTS ON TOUR.

Mr.. Taft left Beverly on Friday which
was his ffty-fourth birthday, on trip
which, in the opinion of many of his
friends. promises TO be one of the most
important journeys ever undertaken by a
President. He said that he would indulge
In little political discussion, but opportunity
for such discussion probably will be offered
or thrust on him. That he would accept
the gage of battle If some 'heekler' in his
audiences should throw it on the platform
is not doubted On the list the President
nut the tariff and the Tariff Board as sub
jects for set addresses. His vetoes of the
wool cotton and the farmers free list
bills have not been designated for separate
speeches Many other subjects will be dis
cussed, including reciprocity, conservation
the peace treaties, marriage and divorce
the trust problem. financial reform, the
Panama Canal, reform in judicial pro-
cedure, Alaska and the government depart
ments. The journey will be about thirteen
thousand miles long and will last until NO
vember l. In the forty-six days he is on
the move the President will visit "a states,
stop at rs cities and towns along the route
and make 200 or more speeches
The papers in the case of the National
City Company and the National City Bank,
of New York, involving the right of ma
tional bank to acquire the stock Of other
banking institutions and other nice points
of the national bank act, were sent back
TO washington by President Taft from
Beverly. He will take the case up again
with Attorney General Wickersham and
Secretary MacVeagh, who are understood
10 hold opposing views as to the legality OF
the relations between the National City
Company and the National City Bank

Interesting sdelight is thrown on the
municipal campaign by the action OF Chief
Of Police White, who was appointed few
weeks ago by the Mccarthy administra-
ton and was supposed TO be the tool of
the Mayor. Chief White announced a few
days ago a general police shake-up. but
only shifted about the captains. He
brought in from outlying precincts those
captains who were known to be strong.

sent TO the "backwoods" at the behest of

Under the guidance Of the experts OF the
Department Of Agriculture, great strides
have been made in growing rice on the
lowlands along the Sacramento River. The
weld an acre has been larger than In most
other rice growing districts of the coun-
try. In some places the harvest this sea-
son is enormous. Several hundred acres
were planted in the spring and this will be
ircreased next season to several thou
sand. The government experts say that
there are about two hundred thousand
acres of overflow land lying along the
rivers of California that will grow rice.
The United Postal Savings Bank, which
was opened this weeks proved more popu-
lar than even enthusiasts expected. In
two DAYS of business nearly five hundred
accounts were opened, and the deposits
amounted to more than $1,000. A number
of the depositors were foreigners. Many
depositors on the first day applied for con-
siderable amounts of the postal savings
bonds One man rendered $1,000 In gold'
which could not be accepted under the law.

Constant Reader Tells What
He Missed in Last
Weeks Papers.

.Ias Maine gone wet or 'dry?' asked
Busy Man. as he met Constant heduer
last evening. -,
when l left my Office this afternoon
was the reply, both sides were claiming
victory by a narrow margin on the ques-
ton of repeal of constitutional prohibition
OF the other referendum questions before
the people, that proposing TO make Au-
gusta forever the capital Of the state and
that favoring the direct primaries act were
carried by large majorities.
There was much confusion in counting
the returns on the prohibition question:
victory irst seeming to favor one side ana
then the other, but on Thursday Secretary
of state Cyrus w. Davis announced that
he had tabuated all the official reports
that had come through his office from
town clerks, including all but fourteen
voting precincts i'm the state. He had re-
celved unofficial reports from these FOUR
teen precincts, which conceded with the
press reports from the same places Based
on these returns, which at present l VIII
call unofficial, said Mr. Davis, i compute
a majority Of 1876 for the repeal of the pro-
hbitory movement Nevertheless the real
result of the election will probably not be
known until the official count is made.
It's my opinion" said Busy Man, that,
whatever the result may be. the losing side
will not be satisfied without another fight
at the polls What have President Taft
and our other statesmen been doing?"
DR.. WILEY UPHELD.
president Taft cleared DIR. Harvey A.
Wiley. the governments pure food expert.
OF the charges brought against him by the
personnel committee of the Department of
Agriculture in connection with his employ
ment of Dr. H. II. Rusby as an expert
pharmacognosst. without even repri-
mand. The Presidents decision declared
that the information upon which Attorney
General Wickersham based his recon-
mendation for condign punishment for DR..
Wiley was incomplete. The case against
DR.. Wiley and his associates, the Presi-
dent stated. was not presented to them in
such way as to permit them to make a
full defence. The President recommended
that DIR. i. T. Kebler, chief Of the drug
laboratory OF the Bureau Of Chemistry
and DR. w. d. Bigeow assistant chief OF
the Bureau of Chemistry, be reprimanded
for disingenuOus methods in attempting to
square Dr. Rusby's desire for more money
with the limited contract which Secretary
Wilson and DR.. Wiley We're willing to make
with him. DR.. Rusby was cleared entirely
of the charges brought against him. The
decision stated that the evidence showed
that Dr. Wiley was not a party to the
correspondence between Drs. II. II. Rusby
and KebIer and Bigelow with reference to
the employment of DR.. Rusty.

Hardman. of this place. has achieved
success as a rice grower this year. On
his Jackson farm. in this county, he has
seven acres of bottom land in rice. Sam
pies of this crop, already developed are
on exhibition at his office In this city
1t is fine indeed. DR.. Hardman ex-
poets to reap 60 bushels per acre.
The rice was planted on low bottom
land too wet for other uses, so that no re-
turns could have been expected from this
land, If planted in any other crop. The
quality of the rice is the very best. We
rarely ever see as good rice offered by
the best grocers. Rice of the quality
grown by DR.. Hardman would readily re-
tail at cents per pound But count it at
S cents, the 90 bushels which he esti-
mates per acre would be worth $780,

OF cotton that has produced this year

that heretofore never made over one

an increase in one year of 100 per cent.
and a net profit OF Sl7S-75 on one acre.
The cause OF so good a yield is pro-

land in early, March of this year. Dyna-
mftfng land IS something new IN Put

But II Is evident that dynamiting was the
secret cause OF Mr.. Splvey's good crop
