PILLSBURY’S ATTITUDE. | His Participation in Politics Is Only That of Any Good Citizen. | SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4, 1900. | Editor of The Call, City—Dear Sir: { will confer a favor by publishing the en- closed copy of a letter which I have this day sent to the Examiner. Yours truly, E. 8. PILLSBURY. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4, 1900. Editor of the Exaiiiner, Tity—Dear Sir: In view of the publicity lately given to my name through your paper in connection with the of- fice of United States Senator, I respectfully re. quest the publication of this statement: My only participation in politics this year has been to ask some of my friends and ac- quaintances to co-operate with the regular Re- publican organization of this eity in securing the nomination of candidates—particularly for the Superior bench—who would command the confidence of the voters and be likely to carry the election. I am not, and while the exist- ing lack of harmony prevails, will not, be a candidate for United States Senator or any other office in the gift of this State. It will be time enough to consider such a-candidacy when success shall depend entirely upon the advocacy or defense of the principles of my party in which the whole State is interested and not upon affiliation with any portion of that party, and until then my friends of the press will confer the greatest favor by allow- ing me to pursue my business as a private eiti- zen. Very resvectfully, S. PILLSBURY. ————— CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS. Republican Committees of the First, Fourth and Fifth Hold Meetings.

CONTEST ON IN FORTY-FIRST. Horace Davis Republican Club Fight- ing Kelly-Crimmins Faction. Republican boss and anti-boss factions |in the Forty-first Assembly District are arrayed in a lively contest. The figl seems to be centralizing around the e tion of an Assemblyman. The bosses c trolling one club are endeavoring to s cure the re-election of Henry C. Dibble to the Assembly. Matters of great ortance to San Francisco are to come fore the next Legislature, hence their activity. . The Kelly-Crimmins_contingent realizes the great acsistance that Dibble could be to them if they can place him in power They are particularly anxious to secure his election, for among other political measures the Assembly districts of the State are to be reapportioned and a new primary election law is to be adopted. Opposed to the Kelly-Crimmins-Dibble club is the club presided over by Horace | Davis and having on its roll of member- ship the names of many leading business men of the district. Mr. Davis' club d& feated the boss element at the last pri- | mary election by a very considerable m: | jority, and although hampered by the fact | that _the Supreme Court has invalidated the Stratton primary elec law the members feel sanguine of again def ing the boss-saloon element this year, no matter what the method for selecting the delegates to the conventions. Members of the Davis club declare t they are in the fight to stay amd th nelther Dibble nor any of his ilk who have announced their allegiance to tt Fifth and Market streéets political ma C:lne shall represent the Forty-first Dis- trict. At its last meeting the Horace Davis Club decided to form a permanent or- ganization and to meet once a month the ear round, rampalg Or no campaign minent men will be invited to address these monthly meetings, matters of local and national politics will be discussed and measures will be adopted to secure clean, antl-boss, representative politics for the district. The idea is certainly a good one and deserves the support of every voter who is interested in pure politics. Among the prominent members of the club are: Horace Davis, president; A. E. Buckin ham, treasurer: Fabius T. Finch, seer tary; Supervisor George R.'Sanderson: H. L. Tickner, manager tariff department of Wells, Fargo & Co.; Nathan H. Frank; Election Commissioners Sheldon G. Kellog and A. W. Voorsanger; Maurice Brandr. Montgomery Bagss. M. Ehrman, H. O. Beatty and Warren Gregory. This club holds its next meeting at Franklin Hall, 1529 Filimore street, on next Wednesday evenln% August 8. The Dibble Club is Arthur W.
