(Cheers.) Another point upon which I wish to speak is regarding the continued statements of my opponent that all rallroad clubs are banded together to vote the ‘Kelly-Crimmins ticket,’ & ticket, 1Llu,clum§d. formed against the friends of labor. Buch a statement is an insult to the intelligence of members of such clubs. I believe that if the ordeérs were given out to the members of such clubs to vote for me they would not, un- less in their hearts they felt that I would make the best Mayor. I will do my ut- most to give a businesslike administration and there is one thing I°can assure you, that I will count the money in the City Treasury and not ‘heft’ it. I will also attend the meetings of the Supervisors and Health Board and wherever my pres- ence is required. I will not be controlled by any boss, but will be a Mayor of the people and if any patronage belongs to that office the people may come to me to receive it, not to the bosses. There are | no_strings to hold me from my honest duty. REPUBLICAN ‘RALLY, JINKS AND SMOKER Representative young citizens, wearing the red ribbon of the Young Men's Re- publican League, to the number of near- ly 1000, attended the biennial ante-elec- tion rally, high jinks and smoker at B'nal Brith Hall last evening. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed and the ‘| young men, who are-all zealously working for the triumphant election of the Re- publican State and municipal candidates, evinced the utmost confidence in the re- sult when the ballots are counted. The league has fifteen branches In the city with a total enrollment of over 3000 voters, and-every individual member is doing yoeman’s work for the party. Justice of the Peace Frank H. Kerrigan resided at _the meeting and introduced eneral A. L. Hart, who delivered the principal address of the evening. He said in part: “In the past we had two great political parties, made up of statesmen and pa- triots, Who differed only on governmental policy.

This newswas recefved with a shout of Xellghl and when the:last cheer had died away Judge Murphy continued on the lssues e Tesult of the campaign.

The only giant power 1 can see in him is his abllity to swallow three inconsistent political platforms in one gulp, without a grimace.

The smoker which followed the speech- making was a jolly success and between puffs the local and State political situa- fion was thoroughly discussed. Every voter present expressed a firm conviction that Patton will surely be the next Mayor of San Francisco and that the State Re- publican ticket is sure to win by a big majority. Several candidates on the municipal ticket visited the hall during the evening and recefved hearty welcomes. bl domiat ESTEE AND LOUD ARE APPLAUDED Irving Hall was packed last night with people from the Mission for the purpose | of listening to the speeches of the candi- dates before the Republican Club of the Thifty-fifth Assembly district. Thomas Maher presided. Hon. Morris M. Estee spoke of the lead- ing issues of the present campaign and presaged a great victory for the Republi- can party, nationally, in the State and in | the city. He said it would be a travesty on justice and reason and a shame to America to send to Congress a man who aid not sustain the ~administration and the policy of President McKinley who, in this stormy time, has taken the helm with a strong hand ‘and carried the ship of state to a safe port. After com- mending the work of Congressman Loud he sald that he félt sure that the people of the Thirty-fifth would do all in their power to return him to Congress. Fugene F. Loud spoke, confining him- self to national affairs and the great and growing needs of this State. He pledged himself to xnharsmcessanuy for the best erests of the State. e fam H. Cobb. the Republican candi- date for Assemblyman from the Thirty- fifth District, spoke for a few minutes, re- ceiving hearty apgluuse from his fellow citizens.

CANDIDATES WELCOMED CORDIALLY The Republicans in the Forty-first Dis- trict were afforded an opportunity at a reception held last evening at Pixley Hall, Pacific and Polk streets, of hearing the sentiments of nearly every candidate in- dorsed by their party for high office on the municipal ticket. ‘Among the speakers were Judge Mur- phy, Attorney General Fitzgerald, Judge Troutt, Martin Fragley, Thomas Graham, Judge Carroll Cook and a host of others. The addresses delivered were concise and dealt mainly with the same topic—the Republican platform and the character of the men nominated to support it. The initial address of the evening was delivered by Attorney Geperal Fitzgerald. He briefly outlined the prlncli)les upon ‘which the Republican platform is ground- ed and which every man elected to office is expected to maintain. He spoke of the Mmany reforms which should be inaugu- rated during the coming year for the city’s good. The most important of these wiil be the purchase-of many of the now overbearing and crushing —monopolies, such as street railroads, gas and electric Upon the conclusion of l"eguln.r business, the club members were highly entertained by the Sunbeam Dramatic Company, pre- senting a farce entitled “What Happened to Phelan.” Among _the ‘performers de- sflrv(nfi raise were Miss Pearl Landers, Miss Lilllan Rhoads, Miss Vera Ander- son and Miss Lola O'Brien, who eared 1‘? a medley of songs, dances anfipgeclm- ons.

Each of these speakers told his own liftle reason as to why he and not the other fellow should be elected. Mayor Phelan was well re- ceived by the crowd. His speech was identical with the kind that he has been making all through the campaign. He spoke a great many words and advanced a lot of misfit information as real facts.
