Fellow-citizens, let it be conceded that | the cheracters of the candidates for Mayor are good. Personnel of Candidates. And right here let me say that it does not become Mr. Tobin to reflect on the character of Mr. Wells. Mr. Wells is a ploneer of Cali- fornia. He was aiding ta build up this city | and Stete when Mr. Tobin was puling and | peeking in his nurse's arms. I note that Mr. | Tobin disclaims attacking Mr. Wells, but in the same breath repeats his slapders. The Democratic candidate but ‘“‘poisons in jest, nc offense in the world.” Who fs Asa R. Wells? One of the common people—honest, plain, straightforward—one who bhas lived and labored in your midst for forty years—the watchdog of the treasury. Ah, but it is said that Mr. Wells is no orator —no ‘orstor as Brutus is. I grieve to say that to this charge he may have to plead guilty. But what are we to do? Not all men are or can be orators. (Certainly no ome will accuse Mr. Tobin of being an orator.) The orator, it is said, is something like the poet—born, ot made. ' And who is it that accuses Mr. Wells of this heinous crime? My friend of the Chron- icle; an able man with many accomplishments —he would scarcely be ranked with Demos- thepes. My friend of The Call; an able man and possessed of many lovable qualities—he would hardly be classed with Cicero. So you see a man may have many accom- plishments, and be possessed of many loveabie qualities, and yet not be an orator. To tell you the truth there are but a few of us left. But the people are looking for a man of sober sense, of mature judgment, of executive, administrative abflity, of business sagacity, of large experience and intimate acquaintance with the condition of the city—her finances, ber needs—and they find him in the person of Asa R. Wells. ‘What Tobin Stands For. Who is Joseph S. Tobin? The political heir— sole devisee—of the political fortunes of the late James D. Phelan. To be sure the deceased did not leave much of a political fortume— scarcely any worth appraising; but Mr. Toblnl | been dominated by Phelanism. was beguiled Into thinking that the insolvent gstate of the lamented was worth contending or To tell the truth Mr. Tobin Is not only the sole heir of the late Mr. Phelan; he is a sec- ond and smaller edition of that once promis- ing statesman. That makes a pretty smail edition, T admit. He is not quite as voluble, not quite as visionary, not quite'as handsome, perhaps, but he is equally flueit in imputing wrong and dishonest motives to his political adversarles, equally ready to cast aspersions on his political rivals, and odium on citizens not inferior to him in civic virtue and whose intellectual peer he can never be. As I shall show, he is the heir of the late { Mr. Phelan, and his election would be a per- petuation of that conglomerate of sickening in- competency and irritating officlousness which, In the poverty of our language, we call lanism.” Work of the Conventions. The speaker referred to Mr. Schmitz as a good man gone wrong, and character- ized the Democratic_convention as having The labor convention, he declared, was the offspring of passion, and its candidates therefore should not be elected. If the Republican convention was so bad, how came it thdt such men as John Lackmann for Sherift, Heary Baehr for Auditor and Albert B. Mahoney for 'County Clerk were nomi- *‘Phe- | nated? And how was it that the present Republican members of the Board of Su- pervisors—Sanderson, Wilson 4nd’ Boxton | —were renominated? Referring to the rec- ord of the Democratic Board of Super- visors, Mr. Shortridge said: Now what shall we.say of the record of those who look to you for suffrage? What has been done for the schools of our city? I will read to°you from the Examiner of vesterday. 1 had great difficulty in finding a copy of it. (Laugh- ter.) They are getting very scarce nowadays. (Cheers.) 1 say this in kindness, for that great shaper of national politics has been very kind to me.” This paper says there are nearly 17,000 children of school age who are being deprived of education by reason of a lack of school facil- itles. Now, shall we continue this same old school board in office? (Cries of “No! No'') Shall we re-elect this same 0ld Board of Su- pervisors? Shall we perpetuate this part of Phelanism ? One of the greatest injustices done this city was the bubonic fake of the Board of Health. The injury done San Francisco was irreparable. First the city was quarantined and t| quar- antine was broken by the local courts. That enemy of the State, Kinyoun, co-operating with the Board of Health, was not satisfied and they had the State quarantined by all the world, Governor Gage was finally calied to the rescue. That officlal appointed a number of citizens to journey to Washington and have this blot ‘on our State removed. A man should love his city even as his-own friends and If aily man con- nives with the enemy of his city 0\its dam- age that man ought to be thrown out. When our trade was being diverted into other chan- nels, where was the Democratic candidate for Mayor? Dressed in his knickerbockers, Mr, To- ok bin was tolling laboriously over the golf links, and, arrayed in all"the red and royal glory of Burlingame, was leading a fierce charge across the ensanguined polo fleld.

Tobin from speaking to the citizens of the Forty-third District in Apollo Hall, 810 Pacific street. The attempt, which was engineered on behalf of Asa R. Wells by Sam Rainey and signally failed, won friends for Tobin and was the only disturbing incident of one of the most successful Tobin meet- ings of the campaign. 3 Tobin arrived while Judge Conlan was | addressing the audience. The house wel- comed the candidate for Mayor by stand- ing up and repeatedly cheering. Judge Conlan gave way to the new arrival, after introducing him as the next Mayor. There were more cheers as Tobin ad- vanced to the front of the platform. He had barely commenced talking, however, when one Thomas H. Conboy arose from his seat, pulled from under his coat a sub- stantial package of cards inscribed with requests for votes for Asa R. Wells and commeénced an ostentatious distribution of the pasteboard pleas.. Attention was attracted from the speak- er, whose voice was drowned in the mur- murs of protest at the interruption. Con- boy worked quickly and reached the mid- dle of the well-filled hall before his fate overtook him. A citizen of the Forty-third, before whom Conboy stopped, requested the dis- turber to, sit down. Conboy replied with a foul epithet. The citizen of the Forty- third vindicated the honor of his district by smiting Rainey’s deputy. The rest of [ the Forty-third was promptly on hand, but Special Policeman Healey arrested Conboy and saved the audience the neces- sity of throwing him out. He was taken to the Hall of Justice, where a charge of disturbing the peace was lodged against him. Bail Clerk Fitzpatrick later issued an order for Conboy’s release on $10 bail, which was paid by one F. Miguet. Police Know Conboy. During his detention in the prison, Con- boy informed his custodians that Rainey liad given him the cards and ordered him to distribute them at Apollo Hall just as soon as Tobin commenced to speak. He sald that Wells was guLing to be all right “to the boys,” and that he was ‘“‘out. for Wells.” 3 Conboy is well known to the police as a worthless denizen of the ‘“‘under world” and one of Rainey's most subservient tools. He makes his headquarters at the corner of Bush and Kearny, “down to the stables,” in the parlance of the “push.” The police say he is‘a man without char- acter and has gained a precarious exist- ence for some years past by the render- ing_during political campaigns of just such_service as he gave last night to the cause of the Republican candidate for Mayor. . The removal of Conboy having cleared the atmosphere, ‘Tobin continued his ad- ress. He spoke of the danger of government by any one class, as a class, for th e- fit of that class, and referred to the ad- vice given eighty years ago by Daniel Webster. He told of what the present Board of Supervisors, the board now seek- ing election, has done for that part of town which takes in the Forty-third Dis- trict. Continuing, he said: Tells of Board’s Good Work. ‘What has the present Board of Supervisors done for the people of this end of town? The Finahce Committee, gentlemen, has set aside $60,000- for the improvement of the streete in the north end of the city. This is more than was laid aside for any other district in San Franclceo. It is now being expended as fast as the work can be done. You Who own prop- erty here are under obligations to this Board of Supervisors, and particularly to S. F. Jen- nings, chairman of the Finance Committee, who worked unremittingly in your interest. This Board of Supervisors has pald off $20,- 000 of old claims. When we went into office we found the credit of San Franclsco almost fatally impaired. We had to pay cash for everything. At the end of our term we find Sur credit firmly established and every valid obligation provided for. These obligations in- clude salaries due teachers. P We have also laid aside $625,000 for perma- nent improvements. This money is now in the city treasury; we have secured a 23-cent car fare for school children: we have seen to it that the Allled Printing Trades label is on all city printing; we have insisted on all our contracts being controlled by union wages, union rules and regulations and upon the em- ployment of union mer in all parts of the City. Has Wells’ Indorsement. Men will appear on this platform and tell you they represent uhion labor; will tell you they are the friend of the workingman. -We place on one side .our record. We do not ask those others to produce a list of what they have done to benefit the workingman, but to point to one single act in this direction for which they have been in any way responsible. There are the scales. Do the weighing your- selves. We bring you acts, not words. We stand as much the representatives of labor, of the poor man, as any party.

Schmitz Chilled by Atmosphere of Thirty-Third District. Bitter and blighting indeed was the frost which Eugene Schmitz, the Labor party’s candidate for Mayor, and the | other nominees on the Labor ticket went up against last night when they arrived at Leclaire Hall for the purpose of ad- dressing the: voters af the Thirty-third District. Not even a raging bonfire, brightly blazing in_front of the meeting | place, could pierce the intensity of the frost nor ihduce any number of the vot- ers of the Thirty-third District to leave their homes. By actual count, when the musical candidate reached the hall, there were three men and six boys waiting to receive him. Two of the men were em- ployes in the grocery store adjoining the meeting hall. 5 ‘When Schmitz saw the size and compo- sition of his audience ‘his inspiration for speechmaking forsook him. Out of com- passion, however, he invited his represen- tation in the Thirty-third into the “gro- cery store to have something for the suc- cess of the Labor ticket. After this, with- out explaining to his audience any of the issues of the campaign, he took the nex car headed out of the frigid atmosphere. His example was followed by the other candidates. Schmitz next betook himself to the Key- stone Athletic Club’'s hall on Mission street, where a boxing exhibition and mu- sical entertainment was in progress. Here about 130 men had gathered to enjoy the entertainment. Schmitz, on entering the hall, was received with cheers. He climb- ed through the ropes into the ring and ad- dressed the meeting. Robert Loughery, Thomas F. Egan, Isa- dore Less, William J. Kenney, J. M. Mur- phy, Williare J. Wynn and several othars of the Labor party were introduced to the members and guests of the club. The cheer which Schmitz received at the Keystone Athletic Club was evidently not sufficiently hearty to dispel the chill of his reception in the Thirty-third Di: trict, for as soon as he concluded hi speech at the entertainment his manag: announced that he-intended to take t Union Labor candidate in out of the cold and wet. Schmitz was to have addressed a meeting at\Hoover Hall and another of the Machinists’ Helpers in the Native Sons’ building, but both were given the go by. % WELLS IS NO LONG i FAVORITE IN BETTING During the past few days an effort has been made by a gang of touts in this city to influence votes for Candidate Wells. They announced that unlimited money had been placed in reputable hands to bet on the Republican candidate. - Certain well-known citizens heard there was . Wells money in sight, and feeling he was in no danger of being elected, decided to cover all bets. Yesterday half a dozen gentlemen visited the place where the money was sald to be placed and offered to-cover any part or all of it. These citi- zens were willing to individually bet $500 that Mr. Wells would not be elected. They were, however, disappointed. ~They were informed that the money had been placed. Last evening half a dozen other gentle- men, who had heard that money was be- ing bet on Wells, formed a pool, which amounted to nearly $10,000, and a com- mittee was sent to the alleged handler of the Wells money, with a view toward covering every dollar in sight. They also ‘were disappointed. that the money had all been placed.
