The conclusion is irresistible that Burns, Kelly, Crimmins, Rainey, nd Burke. engaged the services of 5000 or 6000 Democrats to create the Republican nominating -convention. The fact that the Democratic ticket at the primary election received less than 4009 votes was then accepted as a sure indica tion that Democrats were actively med- Sty | dling in the affairs of the other party.

Analysis of last Tuesday’s figures shows that 8000 or 9000 Democrats voted for To- bin. Politicians figure that 11,000 Demo- crats voted for Schmitz and 3000 for Wells. This gave 2 Democratic vote of 23,000. Wells probably received 14,000 Republi- can votes, Schmitz got very nearly 11,000 and Tobin 4000. This accounts for 29,000 Republican votes. The total vote of the city was 53,814, . San Francisco was formerly Democratic on a close party vote, but since 1896 the Republicans have had the larger number of party voters. The Republican machine bosses made a sorry blunder when they counted on Schmitz taking three-fourths of his strength from the Democratic par- ty. Very nearly as many Republicans as Democrats went over to the musician. Herrin, Burns, Johnny Lynch-and Jere Burke comprise the sorriest, the sor and sickest bunch of defeated machine Crimmins are not as sore as their con- federates.. They saw the storm coming and sought cover. The story goes tha: Kelly evened up on Herrin. He couldn't keep the push in’ line for Wells, but he kept the corporation money appropriated for the purpose of lining up the purchas- able. Kelly was the bcid boss who went to the front in the primary election and brought cver the Democratic push to vote the Republican ticket. It is common gos. sip that Herrin, at the suggestion of Jority. bosses that has ever exhibited to the pub- | Lynch-and Burke, threw down Kelly, and lic of California.
