14 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1'7,{ 1901. SUSPICION IS RIFE THAT SOME OF CAMPAIGN BOODLE HAS BEEN MISAPPROPRIATED Corporations Reported to Have Contributed Thirty Thousand Dollars. Democrats Hold lass [leeting to Ratify T henr Ticket. GLY tales are told in the camp of the bosses and boodlers to the effect that some expert manipu- lator has swiped or misapplied $10,000 belonging to a campaign fund of $30,00. Of the aggregate sum of $30,000 contributed by sympathetic cor- porations to swing the primary election for the boss ticket the sum of $20,000 is accounted for in a rough estimate of dis- bursements. Old stagers in the boss ranks assert that no such large sum as $30,000 was raised to down the Primary League, but experts who observed the contest con- tend that a very large sum was disbursed on the day of election. In the Twenty- eighth, Thirty-ninth and Forty-fourth districts coin was lavishly circulated. The story goes that a manipulator who has gained ~some notoriety for skill in rounding up Supervisors to fix the right kind of water rates and who displays some dexterity in handling the rafiroad commission and State Board of Equaliza- tion went to the corporations that furnish dllumination, power and transportation and suggested U‘al a fund be raised to rocure immunity from unfriendly legis- ation in the Board of Supervisors. It was represented that no other contribu- tion would be required for two years. It is believed that the money was raised on the assurance that the political collector would not come again after the Super- wvisors were elected. Money Used at the Primary. nquiry discloses the fact that allotted to _each Assembly dis- trict manager and $2500 to the County of the disbursement not clear, but it is d that the County Committee got e of the boodle from a lump sum gned to John Lynch and Jere Burke. The sum of $900 represented in the ml«"'m!m of $500 to each Assembly whs distributed by various per- Sam Rainey received a hint that Crim- mins got an envelope containing $3%00. The Call's information, derived from a source supposed to be authentic, is to the effect t the Crimmins en\elo*-e con- tained §700. The story is that Martin Kelly asked Crimmins what the envelope the ggest to Kelly and assign the re- 5500, give mainder—$400—to the Assembly districts. | Gossip goes in the camp that Crimmins held out from Kelly $2000 of the amount xlhp pair. The inference strong that °h and Burke took care of some of t district fights. Ten Thcusnnd Dfillars stsmg allotted to nsaction is what ning $10,000.

Function of the Royal Arch in Golden Gate Hall. One of the most delightful functions given by a Masonic body was the grand soiree dansante tendered last evening'in Golden Gate Hall by Califernia Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons to the wives, relatives and lady friends of the members. The large vestibule leading from the main entrance to the dance hall had been transformed into a bower of dark green foliage, in the midst of which weré hun- dreds of incandescent lights in gold-hued bulbs, producing an effect that was. at once novel, striking and dazzling. The hall was artistically decorated. Over the platform, on which was the orchestra concealed by flowering plants and palms, was the name of the chapter in letters of light, while in the center shone the symbolic ' keystone, with its mysterious letters and flgures. There were nearly three hundred couples on the floor at one time, while the gallery was crowded with onlookers. The ladies were resplendent in brilliant silks and diamonds. The gentlemen wore fash- lonable evening ~ attire. The grand | march was a grand sight, and at its close came the enchanung strains of the “On Duty” waltz. This was followed by a programme of fourteen other up-to-date dances. Between numbers there were vocal selections by Willlam H. McDon- ald, late of the Bostonians, and glees by $he California quartet, composed of esars.‘Wendell, Smith, McBain and Bat- n. ‘The high priests and scribes of a num- ber of the other Rayal Arch chapters of this city and of those of Alameda County were present. John Bennett was the floor manager, and the function was under the direction of the following omceru of the chapter: Robert N. Carson, M. high priest; John Benncts, B King: 6. Knight Waith 5, scribe; \\ulllnm J. Smith, treasurer; Franklin H. Day, G. H. P., secrétary; M. Joseph anue cap- st s, e Henry ~ Ascroft, P. principal sojourner; Roland K.

Of this number I find that the total unmber of electors is 1232; number not regis- tered, 1722; unable to locate, 166. Sectlon 1188 Political Code requires 3 per cent of the total vote cast at the last pre- ceding election to entitle an independent candi- date to a place on the ballot. This petition contains the signatures of only 1252 genuine electors, which in 6 less than the requisite amount, to wit: Furthermore, I flnd that C. C. O'Donnell has Sworn to seven papers and Herman Stein to two, which is contrary to section 1188, which entitles them to but one signature on any petition. TFor these reasons I recommend that the petition be returned and the petitioner be denicd a place on the ballot and that the Reg- istror ove directed to notify in writing said petitioner.

Tobin, and his asso- clates upon the ticket. All factions of the Democratic party were represented on the platform and as the younger and older workers in the party ranks were recog- nized they were greeted with cheexs. ‘While Mr. Tobin was the principal speak- er, a number of other candidates ad- dressed the meeting. District*Attorney Byington, Supervisors H. U. Brandenstein, A. Comte Jr. and City Attorney Franklin K. Lane spoke upon the paramount issues of the munic- ipal campaign. J. J. Dwyer acted as the chairman of the meeting. In referring to the Union Labor partr he said: 1 say that the Labor party does not officially represent the unions of San Francisco. Every one will agree that it is more the.work of individuals than that of organized labor. Many of your leaders have said openly that the election of a ticket of unions only is the quickest way to disrupt the unions. No ticket that represents but one class is fit to be elected. Favor Municipal Ownership. The entire Republican ticket, particular- 1y the Supervi; al portion, received the general condemnation of ' all speakers. Jhey spoke of it as being base born, hatched in dishonesty and “spewed out by a corrunt corporation. Dwyer an- nounced that the party favored the municipal ownership and operation of the Geary-street road and Joseph Tobin, who followed, voiced his sentiments. The nominee for Mayor declared himself in favor of honesty in government and praised the work of the present admin- istration. He was frequently interrupted with applause. He said in part: Municipal government - must be clean and must be kept clean. I am ne demagogic and anti-corporation howler. 1t ls the plain old ltsue of Zood citizenship against bad citizen- ship. Why, then, have the corporations injected themselves into this campaign. 1 say now the men who love their city and have their money Invested consider these things. If you want fair and just treatment you can get it and it_won't cost you a cent. We have now reached a crisis in the politi- cal history of San Francisco. Materlally we are well off, but politically this is the hour of trial. Are we goinz to turn over the City Hall to the old gang? Do you want to go to the City Hall behind a stable or in the rear of a saloon? ‘Want to Take the Geary-Street Road. There is'a plan on foot to steal the Geary street franchise from the city.

After expressing his vi on the Repub- lican ticket, which awerénot compliment- ary, and giving a recital of his experience in” offices, he entertained the audience with a number of interesting stories. @ i oot @ .
