Mayor Schmitz was the chief speaker at the meeting and he counseled the Union Labor delegates against nomi- ating a Labor ticket on the ground that failure at this time would do the cause labor irreparable injury. The expressed by the Mayor received the hearty indorsement of the 300 dele- gzates who were in attendance. The meeting was primarily a local con- vention, called for the purpose of placing i2 nomination a municipal ticket. James A. Brien occupied the chajf and George J. Berges acted as secretary.

One delegate from Alameda County started the ball rolling with —the query whether the country delegates were to take part in a municipal convention or participate in a conference as to the .ad- visability of placing a State ticket in the field. The chairman answered that the gath- ering was a municipal body and that ‘the State delegates: would bs. requested to confer with San Francisco upon the ad. Berel, Thomas Kutchert, Frank | + visability of placing a. State ticket in the fleld. James Millmore said he belleved the conference should be cpen and that the invited delégates should be permitted to take part in the conference. This provoked a storm of oratory. One speaker moved that the municlpal con- vention adjourn and that the ieet- ing resolve itself into a State conven- tion with power to determine the advisa- | bility of putting a ticket into the fleld. The motion was not put, and when Presi- | dent Cornelius of the Carmen’s Union | urged that the conference as to a State ticket should be open and above board a loud cheer arose. Samuel Butler of Grass Valley said amid applause that he did not come to | San Frencisco for the purpose of attend- ing a municipal convention, but that he was invited to attend an open and not a star-chamber confererice relative to the proposition of placing a State Union La- bor ticket in . the field. Addresses in a similar vein were made by Alfred Leavitt of Vallejo, W. H. Briggs of Stockton and John Hurléy of Sacramento. FEach sald he wanted a square deal and that the delegates for the various parts of the State should be per- mitted to take part in a State conference. After some further discussion the con- vention adjourned for the purpose of re- solving itself into a conference commit- tee of the whole to discuss the matter of placing a State Union Labor ticket in the fleld against those of the Republican and Democratie parties. DELEGATES HOLD CONFERENCE. Union Labor Party Men Discuss Advisability of Putting Up State Ticket. Immediately upon the convention being resolved into a committee on conference, upon motion of Mr. Zand of San Fran- cisco, Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz was in- vitéd to speak. There were cries for Schmitz and as the Mayor stepped for- vard to speak he was tendered an ova- tion. When the cheering had subsided hé spoke in part as follows: Mr. Chairman, gentlemen of the convention and fellow wageworkers (Applause): As you have heard stated on this floor, when the min- utes were being read, your committee waited upon me and asked me to be present here thiz evening. 1 asked the question at that time whether I would be expected to address you and was told that I would not. I have there- fore not prepared any statements to make to you and what I have to sey is spoken on the spur of the moment and comes from the heart. I.want you to take it as such, (Applause.) Being the frst speaker in this conference having been your standard bearer successfully in the last campaign (applause), T may say something that will not, perhaps, be taken as the sentiment of this conveution. I don't want it to be. I want you to consider what 1 say the opinion of one man, who has been one of you and is one of you still. (Applause.) Regarding the advisability of going into this campaien and putting up a full ticket, let me say this. "I have been asked by all sorts of people what'my opinion was on the subject. I have reserved my opinion in order that I might give it to you to-night. (Applause.) Now, without any more ado, or further introduction, I went to state right here to you that so far as I am personally concerned, I am not a can- didate for any office outside of the one 1 hold at present. (Great applause.) Some one in the back of the hall in- terrupted the speaker at this juncture and hurled a volley of remarks at him, but the interrupter’'s voice was drowned by the yells of the delegates. Wheu quiet was restored the Mayor contfnued: IS NOT A CANDIDATE. As 1 was saying—the interruption was in good part—I am no candidate for any position, for any office outside of the one I.occupy, be- cause I realize that while in the office but & short time I have been able to do some good for the workingmen of San Francisco. There- fore, 1 stand before you without any selfish motive, talking as one union man to another; talking as one person to another. I say with- out any hesitation to-night that I do not think the: time is ripe for the labor movement, for the labor party to put up any ticket, because we have no time for organization, and to enter the contest at this time would, I feel, do more barm to us than we can afford. (Great ap- plause.) Gentlemen, T did not know how these re- marks would be taken, but they are spoken, as I told you in the beginning, from the heart, for the good of the unions of San Francisco: f ; for the good of the union men all over the State of California. There is another grave sition that I wish to warn you against and talk to you about. ‘It has been with a great deal of amuse.- ment: that I have heard on all sides that the workingmen’s convention would indorse can- N, CHAIRMAN | JAMES AT BRIEN CALLS THE MEETING ~To OoRDER "RICHARD CORNELIUS ;#bkgsszs - TEMPLE LAST NIGHT. —— 5 MAYOR SCHMITZ OF SAN FRANCISCO AND OTHER LEADING MEMBERS OF THE UNION LABOR PARTY OF CALIFORNIA WHO FIGURED PRCMINENTLY IN THE CONFERENCE. HELD didates from other tickets. I have heard men say I must first secure the nomination from the Democratic or Republican parties and then I will get the indorsement of the Labor con- vention. They all say the Labor party con- vention will indorse me. (Cries of ‘‘Never.") 1 have heard sets of men say that if we can get this man nominated on this ticket we will get the’indorsement from the Labor conven- tlon. (Cries of ‘‘Never, never.”) Now, as I said before, I heard these comments with a great deal of amusement because I recognize there is no one man or set of men who can control the Labor convention of San Francisco. (Applause.) WARNS ORGANIZATION. And I warn you, as you value your organi- zation; as you value the future success of the party ‘that has ‘started out'under such geod auspices, that to indorse anybody, unless he is willing to say this party is good enough for him, and I am willing to stand by it and cut loose from any other party: if he is willing to do that he is good enough for us. If he is.not, this convention is not good enough for him and we don’t want him. (Applause.) Therefore, as-your representative in San Francisco, I say to you, be very careful whom you indorsé. To indorse either a Republican or a Democrat is to lose your identity. (Applause and cries “That's right.”’) It is to lose your individuality and instead <of being a labor party convention, we would be looked upon as no more than a plece club. (Cheers.) I do not wish to take up your time—(cries of *“Go on, go om)—No, brothers, you have other epeakers from other parts of the State, and out of courtesy to them I must close. 'They have come many miles to confer with us. Therefore, taking up the office of Mayor. of San Francisco and as the representative of all the citizens of San Francisco, I welcome you here to San Francisco, and I hope your delib- erations in this conference will do much toward benefiting the wage-earners of California and benofit our beautiful State itself. (Applause.) With these few words. with this short discon- nected address, I thank you for the reception you tendered to me as I do not feel it is given to the individual, but Is given to the party I represent. 1 will always strive to uphold the principles of that party and strive to carry out its wishes with honor. (Great applause.) ‘When the cheering had concluded the secretary read a number of communica- tions from interior unions, who were un- able to send a representation to the con- ference. Upon motion temporary organi- zation was effected by the election of a chairman and secretary. James Milmore was placed In nomination for chairman. Charles Melrose then arose and placed James A. Brien in nomination. In doing s0 he pald a tribute to Mr. Brien. He said the latter had done yeoman work in bringing about the conference and he should be chosen. The delegates seemed to be of the same opinion, as a fnotion to make the temporary officers of the muni- cipal convention the officers of the con- ference was carried without -opposition. Chairman Brien and Secretary Berger occupied the next ten minutes reading the names of delegates sent from the various parts of California to attend the confer- ence. When this preliminary was finished, Thomas Green made a motion to take up the discussion as to the advisability of putting a State ticket in the field. The first speaker to address the conference wag A. W. Atherton of Alameda. He said he wanted the big men of San Francisco to help the little men of Alameda. He said they were holding a little contest in Alameda and the labor ticket needed help to meet success in his city. He was not in favor of pntting a State ticket in the field. y 3 “If we were to-day where we will stand four years from now,” he said, “we would nominate Eugene E. Schmitz for Gov- ernor. I do appreciate that it is absurd for us to enter the field at this time. We are not organized. Let us do one thing at a time. Let us walk before we run. Let us win in Alameda first and let us win in other counties before we take up this fight. Alameda is here to say no to any attempt to place a State ticket in the fleld. It is the greatest gratification to know that behind the judgment of Ala- meda lies the judgment of the greatest man in California, our ' natural -leader, Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz.” (Applause.) MINER GIVES OPINION. John Butler of the Miners’ Union of Grass Valley proved to be the best talker in the assemblage. The convention called upon him to take the platform, and in answer to the invitation the young miner | said: Mr. Chairman and Fellow-laborers: I did not come to San Francisco for the purpose of delivering an address. 1 did not come here for the purpose of detaining this audience with any lengthy expression of my opinfon. I am one of the honest toilers of the State of Cali- | fornia.- 1 have been a toller. ever since I reached the age of § years and 6 months. From that day until the present moment I have earned my bread by the sweat of my brow. For ten hours a day I toil in the subterranean pas- sages of the mines, inhaling polsonous gases, subject to those dangers of which the majority of those present know nothing at all. There is no life more uncertain, no vocation more dan- gerous than the vocation of a miner, and for that reason you will always find whatever part of the world you may go that the heart of a miner has always been ready to listen to the appeal of his fellow-workingmen in other parts of tte world. (Applause.) I think yous honored Mayor will bear me out in this, He knows what lies in the hearts of the miner. I had the homor to invite him'to Grass Valley, and he was given a true idea of the generosity and hospitality of the miners. I say this by way of explanation. 1 say this because I am heart and soul in sympathy with the laboring men of San Francisco, Los An- eles, Sacramento and other parts of the §tate. Although our vocations are entirels diversified, vet our hearts beat in unigon. The workingman is the power behind the throne in the State of California. The workingmen hold the ‘balance of power in the State of California to-day, and their power is so great that it is almest immeasurable. The question in the | mind of every laboring man is how shall that power be used in the present campaign? FOOLISH TO PUT UP TICKET. Is it possible to utilize that power by put- ting a State ticket in the feld? The laboring man of San Francisco should understand that if the country is not united, If it Ia not or- ganized, if the country unions are not in a po- sition to act in harmony with the San Fran- ciseo laboring organizations, it would be futile and foolish to put a ticket in the field. There must be harmony of action.. We m: be united not only ‘in sympathy. not only In’ sen‘lfintnt, but we must be united in organ Zation. 4 . ; The question 15, Can we afford to go into this fight? I have discussed it seriously and I have considered it in all its particular 1 have come to the conclusion that If the great power of the workingman is wielded, no power this side of heaven could resist it. = Yet, gen- tlemen, we are not prepared at this time. We are not in a position to make an active State campalign. Representing the sentiment. of 500 miners, 1 say that sentiment is opposed to put- ting any ticket in the fleld at this late hour. Gpriaute) . Daniels of Hakersfield was the next speaker, He sald Bakersfield the banner town of unionism on.the Pacific Ceast. There were thirty-two organized —_— % | turned down its friend. crafts in that city, but they were not — IN THE TURK-STREET sufficiently organized to engage in a State contest. Resuming he sai I do not belleve it wise to show our strength to the enemy at this time. It would be most unwise to nominate a State ticket at this time and we are opposed to the project. P. F. Kelly of the San Francisco Car- | men’s Unfon said that a ticket without a.good head would be defeated. There was one good man in San Francisco who would carry the State by an overwhelm- ing majority. Kelly did not say in so many words that he favored the nomina- tion of a State ticket, but the inference was plain. His thivly veiled allusion to Mayor Schmitz evoked applause. OPPOSES LABOR TICKET. Thomas McCabe of Sacramento placed the seal of his disapproval upon the pro- ject of a State union labor ticket. The uvnion labor forces of Sacramento were satisfied to wait four years more in or- der to allow the party to grow to man's estate. At the present time, said the speaker, the union labor men were not sufficiently organized to insure success at' the polls in November. Resuming he said: Our day is certain to come. We have be- ccme a political factor which the old line par- ties now recognize. But we snould not act too hastily im this important matter. We lack suitable organization, and without adequate or- ganization we cannot win. This movement was started too late to give the Union Labor party a chance of winning. We should taks no chances in this campaign. Keep out of State politics this year and later success ls bound to be ours. (Cheers.) W. H. Briggs of Stockton, a minister of the gospel, delivered a stirring ad- dress. While preaching, he said, he worked on the streets and carrfed the hcd. Of neither vocation was he ashamed. He resumed: What we are to do to-night will go down in the history of labor in California. I wish to let you know that unionism in Stockton Is op- posed to the movement to nominate a State ticket, Let us be careful how we act in this matter. It is my opinion that the Republi- can party drove a nail into its coffin when it (Cheers.) Gentlemen, we are here to gather all the stremgth we have, and to push forward in our work. But let us push forward safely. The time for a third party movement is not yet ripe. (A voice: ‘‘We want a first party.”’) Yes, we would be the first party in the hearts of the people, but at this time that might not carry us through. NOT THE RIGHT TIME. T want to impress upon yon that it is the sentiment of the people of my section that this is Dot the right time to nominate a State ticket. Le'us go on as we have strength and § another four ¥ power which ~will polls. (Cheers.) F. C. Wheeler of Los Angeles, president of the Labor Council of that city, said his sympathies were for a State ticket, But his good judgment was opposed -to'the project. In his opinion the nomination of a State ticket by the Union Labor party ‘would be injudicious, and most inevitably result in_ defeat. Not only = would the State ticket be vanquished, but it would involve' the defeat of the county T tickets already nominated. The speaker urged his hearers to concentrate their ef- forts upon the election of Labor Assem- done, _gaining in proving our opportunities. In we will have assumed a prove irresistible at the TATE LEADERS ARRANGE MEETING Pavilion Is Engaged for Republican Orators. Pardee and Beveridge Are Announced fo Speak. September 15 Is Time Appointed for the Rally. The Republicans are already making preparations for the opening of their campaign in San Francisco at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion on Monday evening, September 15. The great attendance at the ratification meeting in Oakland last Friday night gratified the party leaders and caused the engagement of the Pa- vilion—the largest auditorium in this eity —for the Initial demonstration in San Francisco. The Republican State Com- mittee announces that United States Senator A. J. Beveridge of Indlana will address the people at the Pavillon. Thou- sands of voters will assemble to hear the eloquent Senator and to welcome, with hearty applause, Dr. George C. Pardee, Republican nominee for Governor of Cali- fornia. The Republicans possess the happy faculty of making their campaisn meetings entertaining and attractive, as well as instructive, and doubtless the programme for the Pavilion demonstra- tlon of Monday evening, September 15, will embrace music, song and recitation. As the women share with the men the prosperity which Republican rule affords, ample space will be reserved for the la- dles. There is a lively contest in the local party over legislative nominations. It is predicted that Jack Hoey wil get the Re- publican nomination for Senator in the Senatorial district which embraces the Thirty-first and Thirty-sixth Assembly districts. ¥n the Senatorial district which embraces the Thirty-third and Thirty- fourth Assembly districts, Frank French is said to hold the leading place. It is a sure thing that Hoey and French will en- counter. a strong fight from the nominees of the Union Labor party. Sig Bettman, Hamilton Bauer and Dan Ryan are Republican candidates for the nomination in the Senatorial district which is composed of the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Assembly districts. There is quite a bunch of Republican candidates for the State Senate in the district which embraces the Forty-fourth and Forty- fifth Assembly districts. Among _the aspirants are Martin Brady, George Wil- Hams, L. J. Truman Jr., Phil Haskins, R. H. Jones, Thomas K. Kase and Lon Henry. The Union Labor delegates have momi- nated Harry Bunkers of the Marine En- gineers’ Union for the State Senate in the Senatorial district which embraces the Thirty-first and Thirty-sixth Assembly districts. They have also nominated A. Siskron for the Assembly in the Thirty- first and E. J. Mahaney for the Assembly in the Thirty-sixth district. Yuba’s Republican Ticket. MARYSVILLE, Sept. 6.—The Republi- can convention of Yuba County was call- ed to order this morning by Wallace Dinsmere. J. E. Cramsie was elected chairman and E.| E. Gurney secretary. The platform adopted pledged the nom- inees to strict economy in county affairs and opposed the present road law. The following ticket was named: Superios Judge, Colonel E. A. Forbes; Sheriff, R. E. Bevan: Treasurer, G. W. Pine; Re- corder, John H. Trayner; District Attor- ney, Fred H. Greely; Assessor, Thomas E. Bevan; Clerk, Gordon Bowman; Sur- veyor, J. R. Meek; Public Administrator, P. Branan; Coroner, A. B. Hopkins; Su- pervisor, First District, Fred Roberts; Supervisor, Fifth District, E. C. Cochran. @ iimiimimieieiei il @ blymen and to let the State ticket go for another four. years. . D. J. Gairand of San Jose argued in opposition to the project of nominating a State ticket. He did not believe the Labor party was strong enough to carry the ticket to victory. Outside the larger cities labor was poorly organizéd and until these forces were centralized there was no chance to win the fight. It would be political suicide to nominate a ticket with only one chance in a thousand of win- ning the fight. It would be unjust to sub- ject the head of-such a ticket to slaughter, Frafk ‘A, ‘Sulllvan of Santa Rosa not only asked thé conference not to place a ticket in the fleld, but that his hearers re- fuse to support either of the tickets al- ready nominated. He regarded both the Democratic and Republican tickets as be- ing enemies of the cause of labor. His question, “What are we to do with these tickets?"” was answered by a man in the gallery, “hit 'em with pick handles.” The speaker was mot prepared to indorse this radical sentiment, but he believed that it the union labor men refused to indorse either of the tickets, they would deal the old line parties a fatal blow and strengthen the, union cause. FRESNO MAN SPEAKS. @. S. Brower of Fresno discussed the in- terests of workingmen. He said no loyal unfomst could inorse either of the two State tickets now in the fleld. He wanted the workingmen to adopt a policy which would insure homes to men of tofl, and give them the ordinary comforts of lif& This was not the policy of the politiclan® who manipulate machine politics. TH® time may not be ripe to nominate a Staé® ticket, but the time was ripe for work= ingmen to adopt a policy which would uplift them socially and protect their rights as human beings. The issue of the meeting was presented by C. F. Murdock of Oakland, who moved that it be the sense of the conference that no third party ticket be placed in the fieid, and that the tickets already nom- inated be refused indorsement by trades unionism. The motion provoked a storm of pro- tests from some of the San Francisco delegates, who.demanded to be given an opportunity of expressing their views. A suggestion was made that a committes Continued on Page 30, Column 8. _
