Jesse Marks was one of the directors on the committee and it is supposed that he got tips from Wells, John Lynch, Max Goldberg and Jere Burke. While the members yesterday afternoon were in no wise inclined to the committee’s recommendation they yielded to a pressure of curiosity and listened to the names sugegsted for in- dorsement. Indorsed by the Liquor Men. Here is the ticket for Supervisors recom- mended: Bent (R.), D.), Beamish (R.), vilkins (R.), Alpers (R.), Bock ¢ (e Stanyan (R.), D' Ancons (D.), Eggers (R.), Ahearn (R.), Lynch (Labor), McCarthy (D.), Boxton (R. Connor (D.), Stafford (D.), Nylan (R.), Wasson (D.), Booth (D.), Lilienfeld (R.). In the light of the above suggestion one can easily indicate the Republican l}?mi- nees who were slated for slaughter. They were Collins, George, Offermann, Sander- son, Wilson, Cobb, ¥rankenthal and Mc- Williams. These 'candidates, who were put on the black list as unworthy of sup- port, may reasonably ask Wells and Gold- | berg why they were turned down. W. H. Cobb is having a rough 'deal. While he is giving days and nights to the management of Wells' hopeless campaign and_encountering such snares as only peddlers spread for his undoing, Max Goldberg, Jesse Marks and others in the confidence of Wells are putting him on the liquor dealers’ black list. If the story be true that Cobb advised the payment by Wells of $50 for the indorsement of the mythical Peddlers’ Union the candidate: for Supervisor ought to have a guardian. The story seems to have all the marks of truth. Wells and Cobb went in_a coupe to secure the plaudits of the peddlers, buc there were no peddlers.

Tobin. Business men, property-owners and other citizens are cutting loose from party affiliations and expressing their intention to vote for the | man who will give to San Francisco the | best government. Politicians estimate that 60,000 votes will be cast on Novem- ber 5, and if Tobin’s vote for Mayor ap- proximates his vote for Supervisor two The mass-meeting to be held this even: ing in Metropolitan Hall will be the most important demonstration of the present municipal campaign. The meeting has been called in the inferests of clean, hon- est city government and for the purpose | of laying before the citizens of San Francisco the present political situation. | No candidates for office will address the meeting. Ex-Governor James H. Budd will pre- side. Delmas will deliver an ad- dress, which, in view of the present con- dition of local affairs, promises to surpas: any of his long array of brilliant orations John H. Marble the Typographicai Union will also discuss the situation. There will be other distinguished speak- ers, and as the hall will be taxed to its full capacity it will be advisable for the audience to make a point of getting there before 8 o'clock. It is announced that Asa R. Wells will attend a meeting at Garibaldi Hall this evening and be permitted to speak. In view of his experience last night he will doubtless send out scouts in advance to ascertain if there is an audience in sight. i SCEMITZ' VOICE FAILING. Shouting in Empty Halls Tires Labor Union Candidate. Not only is Eugene E. Schmitz, the La- bor candidate for Mayor, losing ground in the campaign, but he is losing his voice as well. Under the strain of shouting at small meetings in an endeavor to excite that enthusiasm which is so necessary to establish the public confidence in any cause the Schmitz voice is Lecoming husky and refuses to respond to the will that manipulates the Schmitz giad hand at all Union Labor gatherings, Mr. Schmitz was scheduled to address six audiences last night, but when four speeches had been delivered the Labor standard-bearer decided to call it off. In this respect he followed the example of many of his hearers who, after listening to the voice, sadly retired from the arenas in which Schmitz was doing his oratorical turns. At Washington Square Hall the Italian colony, including the usual Jarge per- centage of youthful card-seekdrs, was in evidence when Schmitz arrived.. A gentle- man by the name of Alberara abused the employing classes to the evident delight of his hearers in choice Italian. He in- formed the Bscavengers present that Schmitz thought' as much of them as he did of himself, whereupon a number of lads whistled Yiercely. When Schmitz took the stand there was a slight demonstra- tion and when the murmur died away Schmitz retailed his stale jokes about Tobin’s polo pony and told of his own love for the downtrodden workingman. The Schmitzian humor was appreciated by the audience through the aid of in- terpreters, whg led the applause at the proper moments. Among the leaders in the demonstrations of applause was A. B. Treadwell, the ex-Police Judge, who, hav- ing been turned down by Martin Kelly, has cast his piratical junk upon the sea of Labor politics in search of prizes. The next place visited by Schmitz and his orators was B'nai B'rith Hall, where a meeting of the Coopers’ Union was in progress. 'The meeting was very light, but the Schmitzian voice did not rest on that account. Other speakers were J. F. McEntee and G. W. Getchell, nominees for Sunervisors. The same speakers appeared later at a meeting of the Brotherhood of Teamsters in the Turk street temple. There was a g0od sized crowd present and every point made against the Employers’ Assoclation and each reference to the strike, which Schmitz said would be impossible under a Labor regime, were listened to with rapture. A brief address to the Garment Workers in the Alcazar building com- pleted Schmitz's campaigning for the night. Schinitz was billed to talk at Power's Hall, at_Turk and Pierce streets, and at Pixley Hall, at Polk and Pacific streets, but in his absence addresses were made by J. F. McEntee. John Murphy, R. W Roberts and G. W. Getchell. Little en- thusiasm was manifested. Mahoney Club Organized. The friends of A. B. Mahoney, the Re- publican nominee for County Clerk, resid- ing in the Thirty-seventh Assembiy Dis. trict, organized a club to further his in. terests in that district last night. Colonel Thomas O'Neill was elected chairman and Robert Fitzgerald secretary. Headquar- ters have been engaged at the corner of Page and Devisadero streets. ————— Every original package of Jesse Moore Whis- | The administration of our city sovernment, which, dur- ing the past two years has worked with a remarkable improvement in our public household, in striking con- trast to the conditions pre- vailing in former periods of our municipal history, ap- Deals strongly to the civie intelligence of every taxs Paying voter, irrespective of party. It inspires the hope and desire that our city af- fairs may receive the same intelligent and progressive consideration in the future, based upon the fundamental principles of the charter and that they may never again be diverted into the worn- out channels of corruption and bossism. From this point of view the demands of party lose their binding force and the voter should be actuated by only one de- sire to contribute his share to the fullest realization of the beneficial results flow- ing from clean govermment. Guided by such consider- ations the undersigned have come to the conclusion that the best aid to honest, clean and eflicient public service can be given by the election of Hon. Joseph S. Tobin as Mayor and that of his asso- ciates to the other munici- pal departments. For that purpose a ma meeting for you, fellow-cit- izens, has been arranged for next Wednesday, the 30th of October, at Metropolitan Temple, and we express the hope that all independent, liberal-minded and patriotic citizens of our tomgue will aid in the success of the demonstration for Tobin and clean government.

Daggett, secretary, of the late Republican con- ventlon committed an error which is causing the Republican nominees consid- erable discomfiture. The mistake opens the way for the nominees on the Demo- cratic or Union Labor party to contest the election of every Republican whom the peopl¢ may choose at the coming elec- tion. Section/ 1157 of the Political Code re- quires that the certificate of nomination shall be signed by the secretary and chairmarn of the convention and that the ry and chairman shall make oath. 1 officer authorized to administer the same, that the matter stated in such certificats is true to the best of their knowledge and belief, and that a certifi- cate of the oath shall be annexed to the certificate of nomination. Chairman Rior- dan was evidently so absorbed in contem- plating the emoluments which would ac- crue to him as attorney for the Public Administrator's office that he neglected to comply with this provision of the Po- litical Code. Chairman Riordan and Secretary Daggett merely affixed their signatures to the cer- tificate of nomination without taking the trouble to swear to the truth of the mat- ter contained in the document. Failure to have the certificate of nomi- nation properly §worn to is not the only irregularity which will jeopardize the Re- publican nominees’ claim to office to which they may possibly be elected. The Pclitical Code requires that the conven- tion shall appoint a committee to fill all vacancles on the ticket. No such commit- tee was appointed and in consequence, when two nominees for Supervisors re- sigred from the ticket, the Republican Ccunty Committee named Joseph S. Ny- land and Frederick J. McWilliams to fill the vacancies. The nomination of these gentlemen is so irregular and so flagrant a violation of the code that it is extremely doubtful, in case of their election, if the court wifl permit them to hold office. ———— TOBIN LEAGUE FORMED.

At Harmony Hall, on Mission and Erie streets, a Joseph S. Tobin Club was formed last night among the voters of the Thirty-fourth district. It was this club that Tobin next addressed. In the course of a short speech, in which_he outlined the platform upon which he was making his fight, he sald: If elected I shi all discharge faith duties as executiv, i e officer. I propose to stand e of the common people of this community. And when I say common people I do not mean necessarily the poor, nor | do I mean the rich. What I mean is the great mass that is interested in clean, honest, elevat- | ing government. This is the objective point of the path along which I am now travel- ing. All my efforts will be directed toward that end. I will favor no interests, punish no ene- mies, reward no friends. All I have tried for, all I alm for is to do something for the bet- co.

In the heat of the campaign things may be said that may hurt deeply the feelings of | the opposing candidate, but these words will | not be uttered by me.

Candidate Wells Strives After Mytki- cal Block of Peddlers’ Votes’. After almost a week's rest, taken to re- cover from the effects of his oratorical efforts last Saturday night at Metropoli- tan Temple, Asa R. Wells girded on h.s armor last night and started out on a de- termined hunt for votes. The Republican candidate for a time was truly roused from his lethargy. He h of whole blocks of votes that wer sained by his merely showing hi a peddlets’ meeting in_the vicinity Folsom street, between Fourth and Fifth, he had been promised by one Thomas Burke, better known as “Spud Burke, that the Peddler: sircus 'of supportin this support he h: at their meeting. Wells in his trip to gather the pe, ¥ votes went first to the United chfxi'g'ss stand, where he inquired the whereabou(s of the Peddlers’ Union meeting hail When he was told that where the hall was he re be conveyed to the headquarters in ordes to secure his manager, Cobb. When Cobiy was secured the hackman was instruoted to drive to Folsom street, between Fourth and Fifth. No meeting was in sight whon the Republican candidate reached Fol- som street, SO up anc¢ cown that thor. oughfare he and his manager rode, look- ing longingly for the derelict peddier vo- ters. But, alas, they were nowhere to be found. Finally, after almost an hour had been consumed in the vain search on Folsom street, the candidate and his guardian were carried to the vicinity of Sixth and Shipley streets, where a monster Tobin ratification meeting was in progress. At once the face of the Republican can- didate orightened. Tho gladsome shouts of the peddlers were already ringing fin his ears. He could h stamping of the feet and resou; ping of the palms. But al! vision was destined to fade a mirage before the sight of a eler. Not until he had d his ha;\‘( an?t*"'.(tered dtheh cover his mistake, and then the Republi. can candidate betook himself !llefltlg nl!lld softly away. It now appears that Wells deceived and that “Spuds” Bu; same party who approached a] dates on the Democratic. Union I.ahor and Republican tickets with an offer v, sell the votes of the Peddlers’ Union for the small consideration of Wells refused to listen. So much to heart has Manager Cobb taken the latest swindle of his candidate for Mayor that he is seriously consider. ing the advisability of asking for police assistance in the discharge of his duty as guardian.

By stipulation of counsel on both sides the Spring Valley Water Company filed vesterday in the United States Circuit | Court an amended complaint, substitut- ing it for the original one filed several months ago against the city to prevent the enforcement of the ordinance reduc- ing water rates and adopted several o. e amended complaint sets forth that the works, right of way, lands, pipes, im- provements df:d other property of the cor- poration are of a value largely in excess of $35,000,000; that the aggregate interest bearing Indebtedness secured by mortgage is $13,075,000; that the interest necessary to be paid during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1902, will amount in the aggre- gate to not less than $640,000: that the operating expenses for the same period will aggregate $450,000, and that the taxes will amount to $250,000. The complaint gives the value of capital stock issued as | §14.000,000, divided into 140,000 shares, each | of "the par value of $100, all of which is | owned by more than 1300 'shareholders. The allegation is made also that the | passage by the Supervisors of the ordi- nance cutting down the water rates de- preciated the quoted market value of the shares from the normal of $97 to $83 and $36, representing the usual range of fluc- tuation, thereby causing a loss to the stockholders of $1,842000 in the market value of the shares. 'It is set forth that the owners of the stock are entitled io an income of 6 per cent per annum- upon the par value of the stock, and that 7 per cent per annum would be a fair remuner- ation in the premises. It is alleged that the ordinance of April 1, 1%01, is unreasonable and was adopted in an illegal manner; that section 1 of article XIV of the constitution of the State of California is void; that the ord:- nance is in violation *of the constitution of the United States because it denies to the complainant the equal protection. of the laws, and that it attempts to deprive the plaintiff of property without due pro- cess of law and to take away private property of the complainant for public use without just compensation. The court is asked to restrain the de- fendant from enforcing the ordinance perding the judicial determination of the matter. The complaint is printed and contains about 25,000 words. —_— — Bullet Flattened Against His Purse. A purse contalning silver coin saved the | boarding-house Croll's coat wi a writ of in life of Matthew §S. Croll, a machinist working for the Risdon Iron Works, last night.
