on the day when everybody was
conferred on getting out the vote,
and working for his chosen dele

smoothly and the day was as Sc

cast their ballots. Polls will
open 8 o'clock and close at sun
down which is TIA o'clock. AS

mark the count tomorrow night

1t is confidently expected that all
precincts will be counted by mid
night. or at least so near compile
ton as to leave no doubt as to
which candidates are elected.

Politics have reached the boil

in different parts of the city to-
day, the heat seemed to rise above
the boiling point of water, 2l2 de-

which boiIs at CTS degrees.
Every candidate appears to be
on edge and is actively engaged
in forming last minute plans for
tomorrow's contest. None of
these have been heard in argu-

Early this morning groups could
be seen at the principal gathering
places downtown, and each gave
off a sound of suppressed thun-

into a crashing and tearing roar,

Probably the attitude is fore

Governor James ROlph, Who Died
Saturday, VIII Be Buried Today
Chief Executive OF Cali
fOrnia Died In Ranch
House OF An Old Time
Friend

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, june
Gov. James RoIph. Jr, who
died Saturday will be buried to-
day.
Escorted by guard of highway
patrolmen, relatives and friends,
his body was brought to San
Francisco mortuary from the Wal
ter Linforth ranch. near San Jose.
1t was in the peaceful ranch
house of his old-time friend and
adviser, Linforth, that the COVER
nor died on Saturday at 1880 p.
m. Death came while he slept,
with his son, James Rolph, III,
holding his hand. and his wife at
his bedside.
Lieut.. Gov. Frank Merriam auto
matically succeeded him as chief
executive.
The end came after weeks of
losing battle against complica-
ton Of diseases. A high fever
had robbed the governor of all but
the will to live-and that, despite
amazing vitality and courage, was
not sufficient to ward off ravages
of kidney infection, cardiac con-
dition and lung congestion.
Shows Great Pride
The friends Of James Rolph, Jr.,
regarded him as the most typical
San franciscan and Californian
the Golden City has ever produced.
His long service as mayor Of his
native city virtually made Of him
a California institution. He took
pride in that service because it.
was longer than had been that Of
a mayor of a first class city.
Elected first in 1911. he IVES chos-
en- for his fifth consecutive term
of four years in. 1927.
Another source Of pride to Gov.
Rolph was the fact that everybody
called him 'Jim." It was his boast
that he was known by that nick
name probably to more people
than any other man bearing that
name.
Although his travelling was linz
tied and included only one ex-
tended trip. the Rolph personality
was widely known through his
many interests and his reception
of distinguished guests from all
parts of the world. He claimed
to have taught New York city the
practice of extending royal well
come to foreign dignitaries and
homecoming American heroes and
heroines.
Was Native Always
Born in San Francisco August
%. 1869, Gov. Rolph was the son
of pioneer parents. James and
Margaret Rolph. and was pro-
duct of the city's famous Mission
district. That was the section
known locally In San Francisco rs
"south Of the slot. the latter ref
erence being to the old cable slot
that ran through Market street in
the early days.
Later in life Gov. Rolph accum-
ulated sufficient wealth to enable
him 60 live in the most restricted
sections of his city and state. but
throughout his life he chung to his
native section. He never moved
out of the Mission district.
On June rs. 1900, he married
Miss Annie Marshall Reid Of san
Francisco. They had three chill
dren. Mrs. John P. Symes, Geor-
gina and James Rolph. 3rd.
Gov. Rolph as mayor Of san
Francisco distinguished himself BY
his relief activities after the
earthquake and fire Of 1906. ear

utes and reiterating charges made

All three of the speakers drew
applause on charges and counter
charges Ringing on their respec.
tive public records. The main is
sues were school finances. the
workmen's compensation act. sales
tax and division of the gasoline
tax. All three speakers appeared
to be in practical accord on these
issues but disagreed on the "good
faith" of their opponents.
Mr.. Albury introduced Mr..
Franklin as the first speaker and
then acted as timekeeper. Mr..
Franklin charged that Mr.. Albury
side-stepped the final vote on the
re-allocation of the gasoline tax
for the benefit of the schools. He
charged the Key West legislator
with voting for an amendment
which "killed the workmen's COM
pensation act" and with voting
against a measure TO extend the
payment of taxes from April 10
June.
Attacks Albury Record
Mr.. Franklin attacked the Al
bury record in respect to public
schools saying he had served as
attorney opposing a levy for
school purposes in Monroe eoun-
ty and lost in the supreme court.
He stated that Mr.. Albury was
controlled by the Porter ring
in Key West and encouraged to
run for state senator by the Glen.

"Oh, you mean our bunny rabbit
children ate so many pancakes that
there is no maple syrup left, is that
it?" asked Mr.. Longears.
That's it," said his wife. You
know the children must have a good
warm breakfast before hopping out
in the cold TO go to school"
"Oh, yes, of course" spoke Uncle
Wiggily. I'm glad they had all they
wanted. But since the maple syrup
is gone from the table, can't Nurse
Jane bring in some more from the
pantry?" I'm sorry" said Mrs.
Longears, but there is no more
maple syrup in the bungalow. You
will need TO go to the store for
some, Wiggy my dear, if you want
it for your cakes tomorrow"
I'll do that" said the rabbit
gentleman. Il must have maple
syrup for my cakes. MolaSses
is good and SO is brown sugar, like
wise gravy, but 1 do admire maple
syrup!"
Where does maple syrup come
from, Unkie Wig?" asked Baby
Bunty the orphan rabbit. She had
done her share in eating the sweet
stuff ON pancakes.
Maple sugar comes out Of a ma
pie tree, my dear" said Uncle Wig
gily.
Then instead of going to the
store for some," said Jingle, why
don't you look in the woods for n
maple syrup tree, Daddicums, and
pick off as much as you want?"
"Ha! Ha! Hal" laughed the rab-
bit gentleman THAT would be a
fine way TO do it. But though it is
true we need maple trees for maple
syrup, you can't exactly pick the
syrup off a tree"
