Hegards_Hgflectiun 2s a Rebuke fo - the Bosses, T his comfortable and attractive home on Fillmore street, near Green, Eugene E. Schmits last, night outlined the policy of his administration. A survey of the returns at hand had convinced him of his election to the office of Mayor and he spoke frankly of his plans for the management of municipal affairs. He de- sired to remind the people of San Fran- ciseco through the columns of The Call that he did not entertain radical or revo- lutionary sentiments and that he would be guided by a purpose to give the city an extremely conservative administra- tion. He remarked: “T believe that one result of my elec- tion will be the esjablishment of more friendly relations bétween the employers and employes and I will endeavor to bring about a feeling of harmony in this line, believing that it will conduce to the. welfare of San Francisco. I shall give fair consideration to invested capital. I said to the convention of the Unton Labor | party before I was nominated: ‘Tam con- | servative in my ideas and am not in fa- vor of a radical revolutionary policy, my motto being equal rights for all men, spe- cial privileges to none. I am in lavor of peaceful measures at all hazards between, | employers and employes and deplore all | resort to violence in the settlement of any differences.” “T spoke to the committee frankly be. fore the delegates gave me the nomina- tion, and now, after my election, I assure the people of the city that it will be my aim in offive to do everything in my pow to honor San Francisco and promote the prosperity of the city. Fair Representation. “As San Francisco is my birthplace, and as my father came here in 1349 and actively devoted himself to the building up of the city, it will surely be my desirs to make g most creditable administration. All classes and all elements will have just and falr representation in the commis- sions to be appointed by the Mayor. I will consult the best interests of the city in making changes, and will fully respect the non-partisan spirit of the charter. “The Union Labor party did not exact a pledge of me. All that the delegates asked of me was fairness and equal rights. I have made no pledges, and therefore am in position to exercise my own judgment in the important duty of appointments to the various commissions. Since you ask the direct question, I will answer frankly that I will make some changes, but will exercise great care :n the selection of men.” When requested to give his opinien as to the chiet significance of his election, Mr. Schmitz said: “While my election is a victory for the Union Labor party, it is also a great vie- tory for independent anti-boss Republi- cans. I am a Republican, and if parties swing back to thelr natural position I will be found in the Republican camp. I regard my election as a just and over- whelming rebuke to bossism. The Re- publican candidate derived his nomination from a convention dictated to and con- trolled by Herrin and other bosses. The Democratic candidate was nominated by a convention representing Phelan amd McNab. Independent Republicans and Democrats, as a protest against boss ma- nipulation, cast their votes for me. Ua- doubtedly my election is a rebuke to the bosses. Proud of His Support. “The independent better ciass of Repub- licans, I am glad to say, voted for me, as indicated by the vote I received in the Continued on Page Twe.
