HEARST HAMMERS ARE 1N MOTION First Play Is to Knock Out State Senator J. C. Sims. ? Political Scheme to Boom Geary for Governor Is Unfolded. As the political game now stands Tom Geary is Hearst’s Democratic candidate for Governor. This much was suspected when Geary was called to the chairman- ship of the Chinese exclusion conveation at Metropolitan Temple. That conven- tion was called for the purpose of re- invigorating the weak and weary Demo- cratic politicians of this State. Geary was made the figurehead in order to give him prestige with the exclusionists. He followed the programme. given to . bim by Hearst's San Francisco paper, and winked at the exclusion of Sam Short- ridge from the list of orators, Congres man Needham's letter to the convention was edited to suit the fancy of Demo- cratic politicians' béfore it was read to the convention, and E. B. Edson’s letter entirely overlooked or suppressed. Four Democratic politiclans were put on to represent the conventlon ngton, and Governor Gage, ever help nocrats when he can ready to help himself, ‘atfached the great seal of State to the commission, authoriz- ing Phelan, Budd, Livernash and Furu- seth to represent California at the com- The let- mittee sessions of Congress. ter-writing Governor did not pau to reflect that California was amply and ably represented in Congress by seven Republican Representatives and two Re- publican Senators.

Hammer Is Out for Sims, At the recent gathering of Democratic spellbinders in San Francisco to ceie- brate the birthday of Thomas Jefferson | the Hearst programme was disclosed 6 everal leaders of the party. The rlan is to boom Geary and hammer J. C. Sims, chairman of the party’s State Cen- tral Committee. The followers of Hearst cntertain_the notion that the best way to help Geary is to exclude Sims from the camp. The story goes that an effort was re- cently made to line up Coogan of Hum- { boldt for Geary, and that high words en- livened the unsuccessful effort to pro- gramme the chairman of the Humboldt County Democratic Committee. Gage Plan of Campaign. ¢ The Gage plan of campaign, so far as it relates to the Democratic end of the Republican machine, is fully mapped out. The Buckley Democratic push will vote for Republican delégates and of course vote the machine ticket. At the last elec- tion in this city 5000 Democrats voted for delegates to the Republican Municipal Convention, and gave Herrin and Burns the control of the Republican works. An attempt will be made to play the same game in the election of delegates from San Francisco to the Republican State Convention. But Burns, Herrin and Buckley will require more than 5000 Democratic votes to swing San Francisco A convention created in a large measure by Democratic influ- ences cannot nominate a genuime Repub- lican ticket. Indications are that the stal- wart Republicans of the city will' vote so overwhelmingly against the Gage tickets in the several Assembly districts of the city that the push elements of both par- ties will be defeated, The bosses, by the rawest kind of work, nominated Wells and went down to utter defeat. Every politician who is gifted with @ grain of common sense ought to know the fate in reserve for Gage, in the event of his forced nomination. | suffered from a difficulty about breathing, a sort of breathlessness which was very [ thought these s‘pells proceeded from - something wrong witp the heart, but I believe now it is connected with the stomach, for I find Ripans Tabules do me good, and my breathing is better already. 1 do not have that miserable, depressed feeling, and can eat and sleep well 1 TIVOLI OPERA-HOUSE COMPANY ENJOYS AN OUTING AT EL CAMPO ¥ CE3-FRo™M =g PAMMA paL »EAHY WA JUST ABOVT 1T Ay CHIEF COOK AND COTTLE WASHER, - cERRIS HARTMAN &> PLA rp"owx-”‘@ \OE(K" wiTH THE CHORUY ‘: ARTHUR CUNNINGHAM DIe a TURN AT S OLF.

Tom Guise posed as the Mayor of El Campo. He met the guests at the pler and turned over the pastures for them to graze upon. His welcoming speech was not unlike that of the statesman who sald he was glad they “had came.” Jim Leahy acted as purveyor and saw to it that the leading ladies were not starved. Harold Gorden played baseball with Ida St. Au- bin and both were signed to play on the Tivoli's team. Miss St. Aubin went through the outing without accident, for which every member of the company was duly thankful. Harry Cashman brought a rifle with him and started a Schuetzen fest on his own hook. He hired a small boy to ring a bell every time he shot and he won all the trophies. Hartman was his closest competitor. He got on to the combination and bribed the boy to ring whenever he shot. The youngstér became excited during the contest and rang the bell twice on Hartman's second shot and the competiton came to a sudden halt.

The Supervisors’ Street Committee met yesterday to take up the applications for tranchises made by the Market-street, California and Presidio railway com- paniea. Incidentally the subject of park concerts came up and the representatives of the United Railways of San Francisco were plied with questions as ta thelr intentions toward affording the pub- lic proper accommodations in street car service. J. T. Burke of the Market-street Rall- ‘way company requested that the Bay and Buchanan street franchise be taken up, as it s proposed to build a power house on Jefferson street. Chalrman Curtis of the committee desired to know what the corporation intended to do with the re- quest of the board that concerts be ar- ranged in the park. Curtis reiterated his intention not to vote to grant any privi- leges to the company unless it acted fair- Iy with the public. Arthur Holland, representing the United Raflways company, stated that he would take the subject up with the Park Commissioners for the purpose of renewing the concerts. ““An expert from the East will be here shortly to go over the entire railway sys- jtem and report to us,” said Holland. “We hope to give the city a first-class service, petter than at present.” In answer to questions, Holland said he would send a written statement of the capitalization of the new company. “We will probably not pay any divi- dends on common stock,” sald Holland. F. Holbrook, vice president of the com- pany, said that an all night service was possible in the future. g urged that the ranchise for Bay and Buchanan streets be granted, as it was intended to expend $500,000 on the system. Joseph Tobin of the United Railways Company stated that the new concern favored a conciliatory policy toward the employes. The fixed charges will not be increased, but greater lr::(xi\sfer privileges will be given, Tobin said. After directing the clerk to write to Mayor Johnson of Cleveland for coples of franchises issued In_that city, the com- mittee took the Bay-street franchise under advisement and laid the other ap- plications over for one month. The Board of Works was directed to re- port why the Sunset main sewer had been deflected from the center line of H street. The Board of Works was granted per- mission to repave Post street from Powell to Taylor. @ il @ reputation of being understudy for Teddy Hartman, but the strain was too great.
