HE United Republican League achieved complete victory yesterday at the primary election. The push forces, under the leadership of Martin Kelly and Jesse Marks, were beaten hope- lessly. The result is accepted by politicians as the complete extinction of the Burns-Kelly element of the Republican party. The nomination of clean men for office by the Republican con- vention is expected. Mayor Schmits’ faction thoroughly crushed Michael Casey and his small Gavin McNab seems to have secured control in the Democratic ranks, win- ning ten districts and claiming a safe majority of delegates in the municipal convention of his THE THE ELEc 770~ WAS So @ciET THE Toms * SiorrBEREL rIeST oF FHE L5V SESSE | weexs Too A DEFEAT CRACEFVLLY LoE9R .

HE success achieved yesterds the primary election by the Ewell- Aubertine faction of the labor camp renders it certain that Eu- gene E. Schmitz will be renomi- nated for Mayor by the Union Labor party. The Superior Court recently de- cided that the Casey end of the party, represented by the Harders-Berger Coun- ty Committee, was the legal governing body of the Union Labor party. The vot- ers of the party reversed that decision vesterday To the great amazement of the poli- ticlans Schmitz whipped Casey in the big labor strongholds south of Market street and captured all the district delegations to the convention but one, the Thirty- ninth. Whether the Caseyites will accept the result or appoint a convention of their own remains to be seen. The returns show that 5068 voters of the party partici- pated in the primary contest. MAYOR IS GRATIFIED. Mayor Schmitz clearly showed the strain of the day’s political fight when seen immediately after the result was an- nounced. He sald: I think it a just and a telling rebuke to in- gratitude, without mentioning names. 1 also think that the result clearly shows that the wage earners representatives in the labor party have every faith in my endeavors to glve a fair, honest acd just administration. It shows, too, that they prefer to have some true ‘and tried representative to one untried. Now, 1 want to say something in reference to the carmen. 1In the past a great deal of capital has been made about the carmen not being in favor of me. 1 have always held that such statements werc absolutely untrue; and, while some of the carmen have been influenced by their leaders against me, I feel safe in saying that 99 per cent of the men, if their votes couid be looked at, would be found to favor those delegates favorable to me. From a political standpoinf, the intention was 10 have a straight Labor party. That wili entirely depend on the convention itself. 1 de- sire an absolutely independent convention and I don’t want to be boss, 8o that whatever they will do as a body will, of course, be carried out, 50 far as the party is concerned. The result clearly shows, and In this T in- clude the Republican party. that the people are absolutely against corrupt bosses. WHO PAYS FOR RIG? The question that is agitating ¢he voters of the Thirty-fourth Assembly District just now is who shall pay for the rig used by Supervisors McClelland and Walsh in that district yesterday. They were out from early morn until the polls closed yesterday evening doing politics along the lines adopted by the old style “horse and buggy politicians,” but strange to relate, McClelland was boosting for Michael Casey and Walsh was doing all that he could to belittle his efforts and carry vic- tory to Mayor Schmitz’'s party. They are both Union Labor party men with this difference: McClelland was elected by the Tnion Labor party, while Walsh was ap. pointed by the Mayor to fill a vacancy. The latter stuck to the Mayor and handed out his pasters whenever opportunity of- fered. McClelland was equally assiduous @ il @ John B. Reilly, P. A.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. 1l.—Walter Edgar, a 15-year-old boy, has confessed to the police that he wedged a large bolt in the frog of the ‘Saltair tyack at the crossing at Ninth and West streets last night with the object of wrecking one of the Saltair passenger trains. The bolt was discovered only a few moments be- fore a heavily laden train went by and had not the obstruction been removed the loss of life would have been heavy. The police believe Edgar’'s motive was re- venge for having been driven away by ;h; trainmen while attempting to steal es, 3 SCHMITZ CRUSHES CASEY AND M’NAB HOLDS DEMOCRATIC REINS _I______________———————_‘l' EMBROILED BOURBONS : BATTLE TO A FINISH County Committee Crowd Wins, Car- rying Ten Districts to O'Brien- Rainey End’s Six. EMOCRATS to the number of 743 participated .in the primary | election yesterday. This number embraces true disciples of Thomas Jefferson, the supporters of Gavin McNab and M. Jasper McDon- ald, friends of D. I. Mahoney and follow- | ers of the intrepld but not invincible | James O'Brien. The returns show that the County Committee forces, of which Gavin McNab is the leader, carried the Twenty-eighth, Twenty-ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thirty-second, Thirty-third, | Thirty-fourth, Thirty-fifth, Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Assembly Districts. A contest in the Forty-fourth Assembly District, where the County Committee wins by the slender ~majority =of ten votes, is already threatemed by the re- doubtable J. W. Shanahan. The O'Brien forces, known as the Dem- ocratic League, or *“Horses and Carts'” carry the Thirty-sixth, Thirty-seventh. Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and Forty-second districts. The friends of D. I. Mahoney carry the Forty-first and Forty-third districts. Gavin McNab, who is justly regarded | as one of the ablest leaders of the Demo- cratic party and one of the mest effi-| glent of convention managers, may be called upon to exereise considerable skill and diplomacy in order o hold a major- | ity of the delegates. There can be no | contesting delegations in the convention, as the Registrar's certificate entitles the | delegate to a_ seat | The date of the Democratic local con- | vention is not fixed, but it will be later than September 15, the time appointed for the Republican convention to assem- ble. One incident which will be regarded | in hightoned circles of the Democratic | party as extremely deplorable occurred | in the Forty-second District. This was no more and no less than the defeat of M. Jasper McDonald, chairman of the Democratic County Commlittee. Moreover, the motto of his district ticket | was: “The best government is mone too good for San Francisco.” who enjoys the distinction of having wal- loped the chairman of the County Com- mittee is W. F. Wedémeyer. It seems that Sam Rainey was concerned in this | incident. All the signs point to high old times in the Democratic municipal con- vention. The minority is made up of Democrats who will fight for their rights. phue e s onk S McNAB SECURES CONTROL. Carries Ten Districts, While Rainey Wins in Six. The following list of the winning dele- gates onthe McNab and the Rainey tickets shows that MeNab will have enough del- egates ta control the Democratic conven- tion.

Dr. Adrian Hofmeyr, formerly of Jo- hannesburg, delivered a lecture last night before a large audience in the Central M. E. Church under the auspices of the Men's League. He chose for his topic, “Cecil Rhods Empire Builder,” and gave a detailed account of the great work which that astute statesman did in build- ing up a British empire on the southern end of the African continent. Dr. Hof- meyr dwelt at length on the Jameson raid and the causes of the last Boer war. e Swimmer Schmidt to Go North. The try-out to determine which swim- mer will be sent north to thé Astoria re- gatta to represent California was held last night at the Lurline baths. The races contested were at 50, 100 and 22 yards, the best two out of three to decide the winner. A. D. Schmidt of the Lurline Swimming Club won the 5 and 10 yard races. The 22-yard race was a tie be- tween G. Dawson and O. Schuitz The time for the fifty yards was 28 seconds; 100 yards, 1:04, and 220 yards, 3:4. It was regretted that J. Scott Leary of the Olympie Club did not appear to try con- clusions with Schmidt. The latter gave him a close race in the 5 and 100 yard events at the last championship meet. After the races the Lurline Swimming Club members played a game of water polo, which was easily won by Captain Dawson’s team, consisting of W. Bray, E. L. Smith, J. A. Jackson, O. Schultz, E. Dawson and J. A. Geddes. Tae losing team was made up of W. Harris, captain; T. Harris, W. P. Stockton, W. Bacon. T. Bacon, H. Kennerson and G. Harris.
