livers Strong Argument for
Success of Issue

F! The committee Of 100" appointed by
MayogT Rolph to work for. the munich
| pal bond extension movement held an
ing at the city hall last night All
but two of the committees appointed at
the. first meeting made reports, and
everything pointed to an Overwhelming
vote in favor of the bonds on elec-
! ton day.
| The only break in the transaction of
business came when former Mayor Ed
ward Robson Taylor addressed the
meeting. making an enthusiastic speech
bin favor of thes bonds and predicting
their passage by big vote.
'To3 my way of thinking" said Doc
| tor Taylor this Is a campaign for mu-
nicipal freedom, for the taking over by
the city of all those public utilities
that should be managed by the people.
Streetcar transportation, in my opinion,
should be managed BY the people. they
| taking TO themselves the profits of
the operat ton of the roads.
| When the people voted for the Geary
street bonds. they indicated that they
would in the end take over all Of the
street railways necessary in this city,
so that instead of the United Railroads
gridironing the whole peninsula to
/ hold us in bondage, as they hoped to
do. we ourselves would operate our
own roads TO our own lasting profit
and advantage
We have set oursfeet on new de-
parture and we shall go ahead until
foot of our streets to any private cor
pora ton"
ENTHUSIASM INFECTIOUS
/ At the meeting plans were made for
an active campaign throughout the en-
/ tire city to educate the people and
teach them just what is the issue be-
fore them. 1t was evident that every
member of the committee Of 1907 is
working energetica1ly for the passage
of the bonds, and there was not one
who expressed anything but the great
est optimism At the same time, all
! admitted that what is required is real,
personal work, and all who spoke said
that they would get into the campaign
actively and work all the time to be
sures that the people understand just
lwhat they are voting on when election
day comes around.
1t developed that the whole city has
lbeen districted to get out the vote on
the bond election Speakers have been
arranged for the many meetings that
