PHOTOGRAPHIC REPRODUCTION OF A CARTOON THAT WAS PUBLISHED iN ARY ARTICLE IN WHICH DISTRI T THE ATTORN: EXAMINER ON FEBRU- Y BYINGTON WAS A strict Attorney, Denounced for Official Misconduct, | Declared to Be Worthy of Re-election. HE Examiner's present political attitude is far more amusing than anything that was to be found in the ranks of the circus | that recently visited San Fran- cisco. - The Examiner is a whole circus in itself. It combines the feats of “carrying water on both shoulders,” “dancing on two slack wires”” at the same time, executing a buck and wing to the music of Gavin McNab, “the avowed enemy of labor,” and, like the bedecked clown, gives advice that ft knows is only a huge joke. The programme of a circus is to amuse and create laughter; there is nothing in it. Barnum, the “prince of humbugs,” was the most successful circus manager of the age and he said that the “people like to be fooled.” The Examiner is en- gaged in the same kind of work. It is trying to “fool the people It does not require any amount of an- alysis to prove that the Examiner is in the circus business. One has but to read its editorials of the present time and then look over the files of the Examiner of the past few years. Its exhibition of “back tumbling’’ is the most marvelous and thrilling ever known in “clrcus his- tory.” INCONSISTENT ATTITUDE. As inconsistent as are the present edi- torials of the Examiner and its political policy, so are its attacks on certain of the Republican candidates. The Ex- aminer is an adept in the art of “mud- slinging”” and it has not lost its cunning. Let the people of San Francisco judge for themselves as to the sincerity of the Examiner in its support of the Demo- cratic nominees for election and its at- ARE BUT TWO PARTIES. | There are two parties that are well recog- nized—the Republican and the Democratic pas ties. Other parties have come along, but only have lasted a short time. You can look back can and Democratic parties have existed before most of us were born. Now I want to bring imuz down to this point. The jabor party is a | into history and you will find that the Republi- | party that has been thinking. A great many of the laboring men have come to the conclu- slon_that it is not wise to go into politics and establish their own party ideas before a com- munity and a great many have shown that tacks on certain Republican candidates. In a full-page editorial yesterday, en- titled “A Ticket Deserving of Public Confidence,” the Examiner sald: “The Democratic ticket is headed by Franklin K. Lane as its candi- te for Mayor. * * * Mr. Lane is nominated at a time when the ecity meeds a trained official at its head. A conspiracy is on foot to turn the eity over to the corpora- tions and the politicians to be rob- from time to time, until now they believe that | one of us must be clected. 1 believe the com- | munity is going to adopt the Republican idea. | T believe that those people I have mentioned are going to vote the Republican ticket this | year because they have done =0 in national poli- | ties and_they will do it on November 3. Gen- tlemen, T thank you. (Great applause.) There were more cheers for Mr. Crock- | er. and when the meeting adjourned he | personally met the members of his old | club. | —————— | TEREE CASES COME UP BEFORE CORONER'S JURY Verdicts of Accident and Suicide Are Rendered and Police Asked to Investigate a Death. Three cases were brought tg the atten- tion of the Coroner yesterday. The first was that of Joseph Willlams, who died at the Marine Hospital a few days ago. Williams had been injured in a fight, but recovered from his hurts. He died jof paralysis. The matter has been turned over to the police for investigation. In the case of Tom Kim Yung, the sec- retary of the Chinese Consul General, a verdict of suicide was brought in. Pa- trolmen Kramer and Brodt gave their testimony and the jury brought in a ver- dict from their investigation. The jury censured the Southern Pa- cific Company for the death of Antonio Rossl, who was killed seyeral weeks ago while driving a team across the raflroad crossing at Mission and Twenty-ninth bed. The corporations want fran- chises. The politicians want the lunder that can be got by selling ranchises and collecting toll from vice and erime. To lareve-t this plot from being carried out the eity needs in the Mayor's chair a man who has had long political expe- rience and knows the powers of his office. Mr. Lane is that man, and the people of San Francisco are for- tunate that they have the chance to get him.” REFUSED LANE SUPPORT. Contrast this utterance with one made by the Examiner on September 3, 1902, when Lane was /seeking the nomination for Governor on the Democratic ticket: “Mr. Lane has been for months and is now the personal candidate of Gavin McNab. McNab is the avowed enemy of labor unions. The in the frie of organ- nd therefore will mot Franklin K. Lane 1f he or support Mr. is nominate It will be noticed that the Examiner, referring to Mr. Lane In yesterday's editorial, says of him: “The people of San Franicsco are fortunate that they have the chance to get him." Now the Examiner well knows that Lane is the nominee of Gavin McNab, the Democratic boss. McNab nominated Lane for Governor last year, and also selected him as the standard bearer of h‘la party for Mayor in the coming elec- tion. Gavin McNab is “the avowed enemy of labor,” according to the Examiner. The Examiner on September 2 of last year streets. A verdict of accidental death was | said: rendered in this case, “The continuance of the McNab the the regime means on | policemen trucks and Gatling guns | streets every | progreas. The Examiner will not be swerved from its fidelity to the | pegple, who trust it and in whom it e the poli andidates line, | ap in MeNab.” ADVICE IS CONTRARY. Now the Examiner has advised the “people” on two distinct occasions to do absolutely contrary things. Last year the Examiner advised the labor unions not to support Franklin K. Lane, as he was the “personal choice of Gavin McNab, the avowed enemy of or- ganized labor. A few days ago the Examiner, editori- ally, said of Lane's nomination: “Where uniom is strength it is [lolly to divide.” There should be | the same union between the Demo- | eratic party and the workingmen | an there between the Repablican arty and the trusts. For this re: son the Democratic party and the Union Labor party should logically be behind the me ticket. In urging the workingmen and the Union Labor party to vote against Lane last year because he was the “personal choice of Gavin McNab, the avowed enemy of labor,” and now beseeching the same men to vote for Lane, certainly en- titles the Examiner to the cap and bells of the jester. Dismissing for the time being the Ex- aminer’s advocacy of Lane, it wiil be In- teresting to note the attitude of the Ex- aminer to other Democratic candidates for election. LAUDATORY OF BYINGTON. In its editorial of yesterday entitled “‘A Ticket Deserving of Public Confidence, the Examiner said: “The office of District Attorney is important to the people of San Franeisco. Without the Distriet At- torney mno criminal can be prowse- cuted. A blind District Attorney can permit public justice to be de- frauded; nn energetic and honest District Attorney can make the law a terror to rogue F. Bying- ton has served two terms in his present position, and no scandal has attached to his office. He has proved self to be position in which he served before his resent office. He has earned a re-elction.” The Examiner has not always claimed that District Attorney Byington ‘“proved himself worthy of trust” and that ‘“he has earned a re-election.” As a matter of fact, the Examiner has time and time again accused Byington of dereliction of duty and even went so far as to accuse him of being a party to a plan to commit a felony. Let the intelligent voters of San Fran- cisco contrast the statement of the Ex- aminer made yesterday on Byington to rome of its previous views on the District Attorney. When the Examiner was making a dally attack on the late Chief of Police Sullivan regarding the existence of gam- bling in Chinatown, this is what the Ex- aminer sald on February 6, 1901: “Chief Sullivan confesses that the Mayor, ""‘"'éi.“' Police Commis- sioners, the trict Attorney and three of the Police Judges arranged to license erime in Chinatown thus commit a fel Penal Code, and the arrange- ment wonld have been carried out :: it had not been for the Exam- er.' BYINGTON IS ATTACKED. Compare the statement of the Examiner of yesterday that District Attorney By- ington had “proved himself worthy of trust” and that “he has earned a re-elec- tion” to what the Examiner said of By- ington in an editorfal on February 23, 191. Under the heading, “Will the Dis- time a strike is in It will fight the men and | who are | 1 trict Attorney Move Now?"’ the Examiner said: “The legislative committee's re- port ought to shake District Attor- mney Byington out of his easy going toleration of criminals. The com- | mittee sayn: ‘Vigorous effort on the part of the Police Department and the District Attorney of said San | Francisco would quickly free the commonwealth of the conditions in said Chinatown now disgracing it.’ “District Attorney Byington ought to feel by this time that something more is required of a public official than to keep his own hands clean. The legislative committee has pointed out certain lines of dut that Mr. Byington has neglected. We would strengthen its report by adding farther instances: “Nearly five months ago a number of cases of forgery were brought to light in the poolroom petition. It was the District Attorney’s duty to prosecute such an offense aga the public. Mr. Byington refuse bring them before the Grand Jury “By the efforts of Judge Coo jury and the City Hall politician Peter McGlade was acquitted on on. of the charges of forgery for which he was indicted. He brought to trial on any indictments, and welf-confessed forger to-day walks the streets of San Franclsco with no fear of pun- ishment, while the District Attor ney consents to continuance continuance. “The men indicted for the lumber frauds In the School Department have been able to postpone trial even longer, until it is probable that mo of the evidence against them will have disappeared by the time they are brought before a jury. They are strong among the poli- ticians. “For nanother Instance, a few months ago the District Attorney consented to put the prosecution of the poolsellers in the hands of a man who was representing at the same time the mamblers, the Ch nese and the Poll Departmen A% m resnlt the poolseliers eseaped with nominal fines. when they should have been given the fall penalty allowed by law. “Now, Mr. Byington, do you think this is & good record om which to o before the people? “It ix the old story of trying to earry water on both ders. Yo cannot do your duty as an homeat ofcinl and remain friends with the politicians and the criminain. You will have to take your choice be- tween them. It is incumbent on you to see that those who are ..-‘I 1ty a ished. you iand wiih—the lawbreakers or the people BYINGTON NEEDS PRODDING. The Examiner claimed yesterday that District Attorney Byington had ‘‘proved himself worthy of trust” and that “he has earned a re-election.” The Examiner did not think so of Byington on February 26, 1%1, for on that date the Examiner grilled Byington in a severe manner. Under a caption four columns wide, entitled “District Attorney Byington Ei gaged in Passing the Buck,” the Exam- iner published a cartoon of the District Attorney, labeled, “Pausing Between the People and the Politiclans.” Byington was accused by the Examiner of not doing his duty in prosecuting Chi- nese gamblers. and it repeated its edi- torial of February 23, 1901 The article accompanying the cartoon was in the nature of an interview with Byington on the editorial of February 23, and each criticism of Byington was ac- companied by his explanation of the charges. The Examiner closed the article by say- ing: “From all of which it is easy to mee that the District Attorney needs rodding before he will act vigorous imaistence. A Law order to have the laws > dinances enforced in the city and county of San Francisco.” THE EXAMINER'S CIRCUS. The Examiner has demonstrated that it G Y REEK REPUBLICAN CLUB CHEERS THE NEXT MAYOR The Party’s Standard-Bearer Is Given a Most Enthusiastic Reception by Voters of Latin Quarter. ENRY J. CROCKER'S recep- tion at the hands of the Greek-American Republican Club last night must have filled his heart with gladness. They cheered him loyally and throughout his address they applauded him. He had been addressing the mem- bers of the Bear Club on the floor be- low and was invited by the members of the Greek Club to come upstairs and speak before their organization. Noth- Ing loth, Mr. Crocker mounted the stairs and entered while an election of officers was in progress. Those who recognized the Republican standard bearer cheered lustily for him. In his speech to the Greeks Mr. Crocker said in part: I don't think a club in its or- I want t = Gentlemen, ganization should be interrupted apclogize for my being here, but circumstar over which I had no control brought me he: and I am glad that I am here. 1 was down- stairs and was asked if I would not speak a few words to this organization, and I would be only too glad to do so.

San Francisco, gentlemen, is the greatest cosmopolitan city on this continent. San co has welcomed to her shores you and fathers before you. She has invited people from all parts of the world to be her dwellers. And San Francisco has allowed them some things that some countries don't allow them. It has allowed tihem freedom of speech, fresdom of thought and freedom of the press. The re- sult is what I see before me to-night. You have banded yourselves together for your ow! mutual benefit, for the benmefit of your sick and for the benefit of your own ideas. But you have gone further, you have organized r- selves together to discuss that which is of great interest to yourselves as dwellers in our midst and of great Interest to the future of this city. We have our quarters. We have the French, the Italian and the Greek nations and we know that these people who have left their sunny homes and have come to dwell among our people have come because they are the most pro- gressive people of their natlvity. They have come here because of what we can do for them and for what they can do for themselves. (Ap- plause.) They are among the best people in ur community, and 1 refer particularly to this assemblage, because you are the best save and because you use this money-to bring your friends to our beautiful city.

Between 200 and 400 men gathered the dining-room of the Central Hotel on ™ Third street last night and sweltered through two and a half hours of waiting in the stifiing ‘and smoke laden atmoe- phere to hear a few words from Mayor Schmitz. He came at last and was greet- ed enthusiastically. Rousing cheers wers given repeatedly for him and when he finally stepped to the platform he was wait several seconds while his supporters vented their jubilatio The late hour caused the principal speaker to abridge his remarks to a five- minute talk, in the course of which he sald that he had made a tour of the mer- cantile district during the day and what he heard there was enough to discourage him. He plucked hope, however, from the warm greeting extended him by the meeting. He sald that Lane was making his campaign in bad faith and was pur- posely endeavoring to draw unto himself votes from the workingmen without hope of being elected Mayor, but stmply to de- tract from the strength of the Union La- bor candidate. Nearly every candidate of the Union Labor ticket was given a chance to show himself and all made brief remarks. Har- ry Knox and J. C. Willlams, candidates respectively for Supervisor and Recorder, made more extended efforts, as did Dr Dillon, candidate for Coromer. The sup- ply of candidates ran out long before the Mayor arrived, so Walter Gallagher was called to entertain the crowd during the wait. He succeeded in holding most of them with a flerce arraignment of every- thing past, present and future that did not bear a union label —_—————— Plan Kindergarten Entertainment.
