12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1896. What C. L. Taylor Would do if Elected Mayor. "If elected Mayor of San Francisco I shall do all in my power to secure a ju— dicious and economical administration of pub- lic affairs. "I shall do all I can to secure to every citizen the full benefits guaranteed under the constitution of the United States and the laws of California. "If I become Mayor my mind will be abso- lutely free from prejudice toward any class of citizens. People of every religion may firmly rely upon me to pursue a policy of even-handed justice, without regard to creed, "sect or color. "I am not a corporation tool or a corpo- ration hater. I have opposed the unjust re- duction of assessmenis on corporation prop- erty, and I have equally opposed the granting of valuable franchises, except for a fair revenue on the earnings for the City. . "I believe in doing everything within ‘reason for the health and general welfare of the City. This involves good sewers, a well- equipped Fire Department and an active inter- est in streets, parks and general public im- provements. "Every law against the best interests of taxpayers and workingmen should be repealed. "Everything within reason ought to be done to make the Police Department efficient and in every way ample to guarantee protection to life and property. "I believe in being aggressive for the right, fearless of the evil-doers and vigi- lant where the liberty of the masses are con- cerned. ‘"The affairs of this City should be ad- ministered on strictly business principles, just as an honest man would administer the affairs of a great commercial institution. "The Mayor ought to do all in his power to see that every department of the govern- ment is efficiently administered, and he should be in touch with every branch of the .administration."” A CLEAN TICKET 15 SUAE TO Wi The Republican Municipal Candidates Appeal to the Masses. for the office of Surveyor. He held the position once, and all who had business with him or who remember his r cord can testify that he is eminently fitted to be re- turned to the place. He is in every way able and ought to be elected. George W. Elder ought i0 be the next Superintendent of Streets. H- says he would save the taxpayers $100,000 annu- ally and repave Market street without more money than the present appropria- tion. He would allow no Ceputies to con- duct saloons or force men to patronize them. He denounces the present regime as extravagant, and savs Ashford spent $169,000 uselessiy on repairing accepted streets. Over the sewer department Mr. Elder won'd place a deputy who is a civil engineer, and there are scores of reforms he would inaugurate. Judges of the Superior Court. 's| OChesiey K. Bomestell, Carroll Cook, Colonel .Charles L '!‘aylor B John F. Finn and Jobn Hunt ought to be Candidacy Is Sweeping 2 the City. All but Mr. Treadwell are now incumbent-, and their records speak for them. Judge Treadwell, however, is an able criminal lawyer, and has been a Police Judge be- fore, at Stockton. Judge Campbell is famous as the friend of right and the enemy of wrong. He gives every case a fair hearing, is free from bias and is sure to be re-clected by a rousing majority. : Judge Joachimsen has been a faithful public servant for so many years that more than a mere mention of his name 1s superfluous. He is fearless, ab.e and hon- orable and the peopie wili make nim their Jud e again. Judge Charles A. Low was formerly a reporter, became popular, then becrme Judge. Heis a hard worker and has so mastered the detalls of the position wuich he holds tuat he ought to be put there again. He is a strong enemy of evil- doers and a man of education, honor and ability, Judge Alfred B. Treadwell is a man of wide knowledge of the criminal law and oi humar: nature. He is everywhere pop- ular and everywhere respectied. In addi- tion to his other acquirements the Judge fluently speaks French, Italian, Spanish und German, He is learned in five lan- guages. Justices of the Peace. J. E. Barry, G. W. F. Cook, G. C. Groezinger, Frank H. Kerrigan and Orrin K. McMurray should be elected Justices of tbe Peace. All but Mr. McMurray are in- cumbents, and he is a man of judicial habit of mind. Judge Barry was prominently men- tioned for Superior Judge, but felt content to serve awhile longer below. There is no man more fit to be continued in office. Mr. Cook has made a splendid record as Justice and he has friends enough to re- turn him to the place. Like Judge Barry he has won his way to popular iavor by strict attention to business. Judge Groezinger belongs to a sturdy race and he is no exception to the fact that they discharge their duties aright. He will be re-elected. - Mr. McMurray is a well-known and thorou-hly reputable lawyer. He is hard-working and fair-minded man, whose knowledee is ample or the proper fulfill- ment of the duties of the place, and his reputation is beyond reproach. The Supervisors. For the office of Supervisor the Republi- can Couvention permiited no influence to pear upon its members in the convention by which the personal friend of any one man received the nomination who other- wise was not worthy of the office. For the First Ward John Hayes leads off. This gentleman is so well known not only in the ward which he will represent, but to the entire shipping and mercantile community, that no other name has been mentioned about theZfentire City front but that of ‘‘Hayes.” The Second Ward has for its nominee Daniel W. Wessenberg, an old and re- spected citizen of North Beach—a man s0 universally esteemed for his honesty and business ability that when his name wss mentioned before the convention all other competitors retired. As to the i duties of a Supervisor, he said that if elected he would give to the office tue same close attention that he has given to his business. 2 The Third Ward nas for its nominee John L. Hanly, who has been connected with the Deming-Palmer Milling Com- vany for a number of years. The continu- ous employment of a man in the service of this company is of 1itself a sufficient guarantee of a man’s fitness of any office of trust in the government of the Siate or City. The Fourth Ward is more than fortu- nate in the nominee given to 1ts residents in the person of H. A. Steffens. “Big- hearted, generous Henry" isthe way Stef- fens is spoken of by his friends and neigh- bors, and this appeilation is no misnomer. No better man could have been nominated for the office of Bupervisor. The Fifth Ward will undoubtedly be represented in the next Board of Super- visors by Thomas G. Walkington, the pro- vrietor of the Mission Bay Warehouse, whose business associations and connec- tions with the mercantile community is s0 well known that when his name was mentioned in the convention it was con- GOOD NAM?3IS FOR EVERY POST. Men Who Combine Honesty and Ability, and Who Inspire the Confidence of Voters. As the time draws near for election . there is every evidence of a great Republi- . can victory. Colone! Charles L. Taylor’s * name is heard everywhere and his candi- dacy is growing so fast that ali opposition will be snowed under by an avalanche of votes. Democrats by thousands, Populists, + Non-Partisans and Republicans are out in earnest for the sterling candidate, who represents all thatis stable and progres- sive in local statesmanship. Heis admired because he has spoken on every question of vital interest in ringing, manly tones, and all his utterances have been for the right. Day by day Colonel Taylor’s canaidacy has grown in power, and in spite of the hitterest attacks nothing has been whis- vered derogatory to the brave Supervi- sor’s ability or honor. His spotless recora stands like an immovable monument as a testimonial to his high character. No . narrowness of politicians, no bitterness of enemies can convince anybody that this brave man has ever made a single move in public or private that he did no: be- - lieve to be for the general welfare of the masses and the prosperity of the City. It is now a foregone conclusion” that Colonel Taylor will be elected by an over- whelming majority, and there is equal evidence that he will add strength to the excelient ticket that his name heads. None who know William A. Deane per- sonally or who have heard of his spotless reputation and sterling abilities will hesi- tate to vote for bim for Auditor. He lias the peculiar business insight and abilities necessary for the proper fulfillment ot the duties of that office. * Mr. Deane is an old printer and a mem- ber of the Typographical Union. He is also a Native Son and a member of Stanford Parlor. Besides this he is a past chief ranger of the For- esters of America. He has held the important position of chief clerk of the insolvency department in the County Clerk’s office and is in every way well qualitied to hold the position he aspires to. He has been in every office in the City Hall and is_thoroughly " informed in de- tails. Mr. Deane is a married man and has one child. For Tax Collector the regular Republi- can party could not huve selected a stronger candidate than Cord H. Wetjen, a man of sterling character and wide repu- tation for integrity and business acumen, Mr. Wetjen’s foilowers are the best people and he represents the good traits of the strong German character. For Treasurer the name of Augustus C. ‘Widber recalls his illustrions father, while bis own spotiess record his father’s successor is enough to inspire confidence in all voters. No better man than Mr. Widber could have been nominated for Treasurer. The name of John R. Aiuken for Attor- vey and Counselor inspires confidence among people and lawyers alike. He is an attorney with a good record,'a man of spotless character and rare abilit: Charles B, Tilton has shown his fitness the next four Superior Judges. They de- serve it by right of sterling integrity and rare ability. Mr. Bonestell is a Republican of recog- nized ability and high standing in the community. Lawyers say he is able and safe and the people have full confidence in bis ability and honesty. Carroll Cook’s nan.e'is known all over California as a synonym for legal astute- ness. As a criminal ana constitutional lawyer he has not a superior anywhere. His record is spotless and has never been questioned éven by his political enemies. John F. Finn has been tried as Judge before, and no act of hisever disappointed his warmest admirers or left room for the unkind criticism of his enemies. He is a man of wide experience, clever abilities and undoubted honor. Joun Hunt’s candidacy is a compliment to ability and judicial honor. He is recog- nized as a shrewd anc feariess Jud.e and as a lawyer who has won his spurs by na- tive ability and unremitting toil. Police Judges. James A. Campbell, Henry L. Joachim- sen, Charles A. Low and Alfred B. Tread- well ought to be the next Police Judges. W. A. Deane, Regular Republican Nominee for Auditor. sidered a grand capture to have him con- sent to accept. e did do so upon the urgent request of some of his friends who bad deplored the present bad condition of the City’s &ovemman: by the solid eight. To elect r. Walkington is to assure a strictly honest and capable representative to the Bupervisors. The Sixth Ward will, it seems certain, have a regresentnuve in the person of honest John Lackmann, who has owned and conducted a grocery at 818 California street for a number of years. So well known is Mr. Lackmann by the wholesal~> merchants that his word is as zood as many other tradesmen’s written guaran- tee. Honest ana capable, he will faith- fully discharge th» daties of a City Father. The Seventh Ward has for its nominee one of the best-known men in that sec- tion of the City in the person of John H. Daly, a man who can boast of having more friends to the square foot in the ward and for a considerable area outside of it than any other of the many nominees for the same office. The Eighth Ward, the banner Republi- can ward of the City, that in days yone by never was known to elect a Democratic Bupervisor or School Director, has for its One of the most important offices the voters and taxpayers of this City will be called upon to fill at the coming election is that of Superintendent of Streets. The proper man for the position, as evidenced both by experience and a record of which any man mieht well be proud, is the regular Republican nominee, George W. Eider. For a long time Eider served as expert in the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors, and while occupying this position it is estimated that he saved the City many thousands of dollars. His actions have always been dominated by a strict sense of duty, and so far as compatible with the proper execution of work his recommenda- tions to the committee have been on the side of economical expenditures. At no time when the appropriations asked for street work have been in excess of the amount actually necessary has Elder failed to lift a warning voice. And this has been done without regard to offending friend or foe. ¥ As an instance of Eider’s attention to duty and strict integrity may be mentionea the clear and forcible manner in which he proved last May that Superintendent Ash- worth’s demand for an appropriation of $1,558,180 10 for the expenses of his depart- S e S NEW TO-DAY—DRY GCODS. e e UNDERWEAR DEPARTMENT! ° Ladies’ and Gents’ Merinoand Wool Underwear!

His words showed his familiarity with the City’s needs In every particular as regards the work on our streets and a thorough knowledge of what the work wounld cost 1if rightly done. So it has been at all times. His excellent personal character and conduct are vouched for by a host of friends. As Elder himself said in an address delivered a few evenings ago before the Pheenix Republican Club: “By diligent attention to duty I may have made some enemies, but any other houest man would have done the same.’” Taxpayers cannot do better than place such a man in so important an office. coal dealer, a man who is sure of being elected. Thomas Morton has the go d fortune of being known and respected all over the City, This he has honestly earned by many acts of charity. Many’ poor fami- lies all over the City have had a cheerful and necessary fire by his donation of bags of wood and coal, Generous and warm- hearted as he is, he possesses all of that self-will so characteristic of his Scotch ancestors—the same kind of will Andrew Jackson and U. S. Grant possessed. Hav- ing succeeded 1 business from a small start thirty-three years ago to one of com- parative independence and with a first- class character, San KFrancisco voters will have no cause to report having elected Thomas Morton to the Board of Super- visors. The Ninth Ward has for its nominee the well-known business man, R.W.Heilmann, who has been a resident of the ward for a number of vears, and in consequence is so well known that his election is an assured fact. Mr. Heilmann has been in the soap manufacturing business for the past twenty-five years. He has raised a family in this v, and few men stand higher in the business community. The Tenth Ward has for its nominee Edward J. Smith, a well-known druggist, who resides at 866 Folsom street, in which vicinity he has carried on business for a number of years. He is a practical basi- ness man, and favors progress when it is essential, and also strict economy in the management of the City’s business, The Eieventh Ward, which wants big deals in everything, has got one of the biggest of men from a progressive stand- point in the person of Charles M. De- pew, president of the planing-mills com- any of that name located on Berry street, Fnr its nominee for the Board of Super- visors. 5 The Twelfth Ward has a variety of nominees, but the very best of all those placed on the ticket is E. H. Aigeltinger, who for years has been engaged in the hay and grain business on Ellis street. With him as the Twelfth Supervisor che other eleyen neced never fear of failure to do the right thing at the right time. School Directors. Dr. George I. Drucker, who has been honored with the nomination of School Director, 18 a promising young dentist of the modern school. He is the youncest son of ex-Supervisor August Drucker and a native of this City. He attended the public schools and the Btate university, graduating from the den- tal department. He 1s connected by the marriage of his sisters with some of the highest in the social and business circles of this City. On the subject of the managenient of the public schools Dr. Drucker said : I was educated in the public schools of this City, consequently know the value oI s public school education.” I am in favor of & most lib- eral policy for the management of the school department, but at the same time there should be economy in 1he expenditure of the funds so liberally contributed by the taxpayers for its support. The teachers should be paid their salaries regularly and due regard and atten- tion shou.d be prid to the ciassrooms, to the end that they be kept in good sanitary condi- tion 50 that (he heelth of the pupils be not im- Emn-m Understanding this, 1 shall, if elected, 0 my utmost to conduct the school<on busi- ness principles and on the principle of a fatner caring ior his children, as my father did while securing education, comfort and happiness for his children. The children in the public schools are entitled to parental care from the school directors. J. L. Halsted, a most worthy citizen and a pioneer of this State, when asked for his views answered as follows: My record as a School Director is well known in this City, having filed that position fof two years. The same libera! policy as regards the management of the schools that I pursued then would be my guide in the future. The public scuools must be conducted on & broad and liberal plane, for as the schools are con- ducted so are our children inculcated with broad and patriotic idess. Philip Hammond, a man of mature years, with a sharp and quick mird, said: Ihave always been a friend and admirer of the public school system of the United States, and had I not I certainly would not have accepted a nomination at the hands of the Republican party for the office. I will, if elected, deal fairly as between the distribution of the school funds and the heaithy adminis- tratiou of the department. The schools must kept vigorous. We cannot permit dry rot to get in them. . Fredericks, well known and who high in the mercantile community, s said: I consider the duties and responsibilities of 8 School Director of more importance to the future as weil as to the Freum condition cf this Nation than those of any other offico to Wwhich a citizen can be elected or appointed. The education of the child invariably maps out his future course through lite. Hence nominee Thomas Morton, the well-known | how important it is that Directors should well and truly discharge the trust reposed in them. Appreciating this responsibility, I will, should I be elected, perform my duty as a Director faitntally and conscientiously. E. L. Head, who holds the responsible osition of receiver for the Sprin Valiey ater Company and possesses the qualifi- cations necessary to make a good School Director, said: To be elected a School Director is one of the most sacred trusts that could be imposed on a citizen. And if Iam elected & member of the board I shail discharge my duties with scrupulous regard for the welfare of the chil- dren and the public. William A. Kemp, a young business man of this City, said: 1know of no branch of the National, State or Municipal Government which demands from any of its representatives & more exact d:scharge of public duty snd trust than that of managing the public schools, as they should be managed for the good and weifare of the eatire people. William T. Kibbler, a prosperous and successful chemist and resident of the ban- nerdRepublican district, the Thirty-ninth, said: I look upon a well-conducted public school system as one of the safest and strongest bul- warks of our great American republican form of government, and the American citizen who would attempt to destroy its usefuiness is a secret enemy of the country and its institu- tions, If elected I shall make it my special study to keep our school system free from everything that might in any manner tend to injure its high purpose. G. A. Kohn, a City-front merchant, well known for his sterling business quali- ties, expressed himself as follows: The taxpayers of San Francisco contribute most cheerfuily to the supvort of the common schools. In this they stand second to no other country’s citizens on the face of the globe, should consider it worse than high treason for & School Director to be guilty of the misman- agement of the trust reposed in him by his fellow-citizens. Dr. Ernest H. Mattner said: Bome wise statesman said that a public office is & public trust. 1go further and say that the office ot Director ot the Public Schools, where our children are being educated, is one of the most sacred of trusts. And to my mind the American who would abuse this most sacred of trusts should be driven out of the com- munity by the same method that the early settlers in the mining camps drove out the horse thieves and robbers. With this view of the responsibility resiing on me, shouid I be elected, I will, if in my power, keep in mind the exalted position of the people’s schools for our dear children. - William H. Powers, connected with the printing-house of Hicks, Judd & Co., said ; 1 have been & friend of the public school sys- tem of education for the American children all through life, because I recognize that in thatsystem and by 1t alone can this great country be kept loyal to itself and obedient to 1is laws and institutions. It leveis all parriers between the rich and the poor. It imbues that equm? among 'he masses that forever pre- vents classes and teaches that all men are equal before the law. With appreciation of its great benefits it willbe my aim if elected to rform the duties of a Director to the very Pestor my ability. Dr. J. H. Soper, at present a member of the Board of Education, needs no ex- tended introduction to the voters. He said: Since my appointment to the Board of Edu- cation I have performed my duty to the very best of my ability. To continue to do so shail be the ambition of my life. F. L Turpin, proprietor of several hotels and lodging-houses, said: From the high personal character of my as- sociates on the Republican ticket for School Directors the peopie of this City need have no fear regarding the management of the schools for the next two years. With such a fine body of men I could not do wrong, even if I wished to, but I have no such intention or inclina- tion. Iconsider a man holding the position of School Director equal to that of a fath.r in his own family. Thechildren's welfare shouid be looked after with jealous care. They are the wards of the people and the directors are their guardians. Hence no man should as- sume to become the guardian of & ward who knows and believes he has not the abiiity to care for his charge. I shall consider it my duty to luok after the thou=ands of little ones with the same care and attention as I would my own children. Let everybody in the Fourth Con- gressional District vote for Congress- man Loud. He is honest, experienced, able. —_————— AT the meeting of the Wheelmen’s Municipal Leacue, held at the rooms of the Olvmpic Club on Wednesday evening, Fred W.
