(Applause) Ladles and gentle- men, on behalf of the campaign commit- teé 1 take pleasure in introducing Dr. Campbell Ford, chairman of this meet- Sng.” (Applause.) Dr. Ford said he appreciated it a great honor to preside at the meeting, as it was the biggest Republican gathering ever held in the district. He introduced Percy V. Long as the next City Attorney of Ban Francisco. Mr. Long spoke as follows: CROCKER WELL RECEIVED. “You will not hear a speech from me, as I am simply here to be introduced to you collectively. I know many of you personally. While I do mot intend to make a speech, I want to call your atten- tion to a few things that every voter in San Francisco ought to bear in mind. The voters of San Francisco for the last eight or mine years in national politics have shown their allegiance to the Republican party; have shown their belief in the policies passed by the party in the halls of legislation; and it seems to me, when this city is about to expend a great deal of money for its improvement, that the Republican party is the party to handle these large sums which are to be ex- pended.” the street the other night and I said, ‘Gavin, you are not treating me right.’ ‘How is that, Henry? he said. ‘You buried me and laid me quletly to rest’ I answered, ‘and I don't think you ought to disturb me.’ ‘Unfortunately, Henry,’ said McNab, ‘you are one of that kind of people who never stay dead.’ (Laughter.) “Ladjes and gentlemen, you have no doubt watched this campaign with a great deal of interest. You have watched the candidates and -have become ac- quainted with them; you have got to know them; you know what they say and all that. We are now approaching the time when you have got to say, “What are we going te do? I know what the voters are going to do. I know what every man and child is going to do; they are golng to say to you people who | have voted so heavily for the charter and for the bonds, you are going to study this matter very closely and you are go- ing to find out what kind of a savings bank you are going to put your votes in; you are going to tackie the proposition hard. It is of the deepest interest to every man, woman and child in the city that we have an honest government. You want an honest government. ¥ou want a government without party lines. You want a government for all the people, & government that is equal and just to all. You don’t want a class government, “The workingman does not want the best of it. They want a good, clean, A No. 1 government, which every one will enjoy, and every neighbor will say, “We are going to get an equal distribu- tion of the money to be spent in this city in the mext two years’ You are going to see that the money.is golng to be spent for new schoolhouses, modern, up- to-day = schoolhouses, for city parks and breathing places, and we want every man who takes up that work to get a share of that money. We want the men who do the work to turn‘over to the city something that will make visitors mar- vel at the improvements and say that ours is the finest city in the Union. “Do you appreciate what you are d ing when you elect me Mayor of this city? You are going to confer upon me the greatest honor that a man can ask for in this municipality. You are going to confer upon me such a wealth of re- gard that a man who can aspire to that | chance. place should be doubly grateful for the ‘honor. b4 “In return for that what should he do?

He is practically being smothered. (Applause.) He is practically being smothered by the friendship that has been rolled up for Judge Bahrs. “The Examiner accuses me of making a gutter campalgn. If making a gutter campaign is going over to the Union Iron ‘Works and meeting the workingmen and grasping each by the hand and thanking them for their support; if visiting the gugar reflnery at the Potrero and meeting the men employed there; if it is going to the Fulton Iron Works and securing the support of the workingman, then I am making a gutter campaign and I am proud of it.” (Great applause,) The Judge declared that he did not say he had the German vote in his vest pocket, as & morning paper reported him saying, but that he had reason to believe that he would have the German vote to a man and that the French, Itallan, Greeks and other races would vote for him and his election was assured. A man in the audience assured him he had the Swiss vote and others made like assurances. Speeches were made by other candidates and the meeting closed with cheers for the standard-bearer and the rest of the ticket. ADDRESSES WORKINGMEN. Henry J. Crocker Well Received South of Market Street. Manzanita Hall, on Perry street, near Fourth, was packed last night with voters of the Twenty-eighth Assembly District. ‘When Henry J. Crocker arrived ‘at the hall shortly after 9 o’clock he had to force his way through the immense throng in order to reach the platform. The seating accommodations were not sufficient, and hundreds of men stood in the rear of the hall, eager to listen to the standard-bear- er. Small boys attempted to cheer for Mayor Schmitz, but their cries were drowned by the cheers for Henry J. Crocker. J. J. McQueeney, a member of the Line- A stereopticon will throw re- turns for the entire municipal ticket upon a white screen in front of The Call building and a rapid service of bulletins will convey the results of the elec- tion to the people. L (g men’s Union, whose strike the Republican nominee settled early in the campaign, presided. He introduced A. Van der Nail- len as the first speaker, and the friend of the workingman delivered a forcible ap- peal to the assembled voters to stand by the Republican party. He told them that the labor unions made a mistake in-en- tering into politics. He told them that they were being betrayed by false leaders, and appealed to the union men to stand by Henry J. Crocker, who represented clean government. William E. Lutz, candidate for Public Administrator, was given a fine reception and made a short address. in which he assured the assemblage tnat if elected to the office he would give them an honest administration. Supervisor Alpers told of his record and promised to do as well by the people if re-elected to the office he aspires to. Thomas McConnell, president of the Water Front Henry J. Crocker Club, also spoke. He toid the “working- men some truths about Mayor Schmitz that they did not know and his stafe- ments struck home, Speechés were also made by Dan A. Ryan, Percy V. Long and other candidates. Henry J. Crocker was cheered when presented to the audience. Mr. Crocker made his usual forcible speech. He made no promises that he could not keep. He talked straight from the shoulder and won the approval of men who in- tended voting for opposition candidates. He told them of the necessity of electing a man who would see to it that they were given a share of the money to be expended for improving the streets, by allowing them to perform honest labor. Mr. Crocker said he had no one to die- tate to him, and the Commissioners he appointed would come from the people and be a credit, not only to the adminis- tration but to themselves. % General E. S.

Crock- er, Theodore Lundstedt and all the can- didates, Messrs. Lincoln E. Savage, Ju- lius Kahn, Alex Campbell Jr., Daniel A. Ryan and A. Van der Nalillen will address the meeting. PRIy S SRy SPEAKERS THROW MUD. Schmitz Meetings Prove Disorderly. Mayor Speaks Many Times. Mayor Schmitz addressed two large meetings and one small one last night. The large ones were at Garibaldi Hall, in the Latin quarter on Rroadway, and the other at Occidental Hall, on Third street. At the Turk-street Temple the hall was sparsely filled, the gallery containing but a dozen people. Most of the applause started originated with hired applause- makers in the rear of the hall, and they bhad difficulty in keeping up the game. The assemblage became tired of waiting and began to depart before the arrival of the Mayor. A thin young man, introduced as a promising young lawyer, did his best to hold the crowd. With one hand in the air and the other wildly describing circu- lar gesticulations he passed out a series of exalted and hackneyed phrases in a general denunciation of all the candidates that were not Union Labor men. Mayor Schmitz often has said that this is not a mu campaign. ‘Yet al- | | | | nue. terspersed with numerous boys and hood- lums, who were endeavoring to make as much fun of the meeting as possible. At Occidental Hall a large crowd met the Mayor and other candidates. The Mayor's talk was brief. -— LANE MAKES SPEECHES. Talks in the Potrero and the Twin Peaks Districts. Franklin K. Lane addressed three big meetings last night and at each was re- ceived with enthusiasm and applause. He first spoke to the voters of the Thirty- second Assembly District at Masonic Hall on Fourteenth street, near Railroad ave- He began his remarks by thanking the ladies who fllled the galleries for coming to listen to him and begged them all to take an earnest interest in the coming election. He said in part: *“You have a great stretch of water front out here, and what are you going to do with it? Do you realize the great value of this waterway? The heart of the water front is now almost completely monopo- lized by corporations. Wateh your water front here. It will be a tremendous asset within the next twenty years to all you holders of property in this district. Every foot of it should be reserved for the ben- efit of you and yours and not be allowed to pass into the control of corporations. None of this waterway should be tied up in a monopoly. Many of you here were leaders In the Union Labor party and it was your idea and wisn that this party should represent you and your views, but to-day you know it does not. It represents the views of a boss and that boss is Abe Ruef. You tried to es- tablish a third party, which was to be essentially a party to represent the labor man, and you wanted to show the people that the laboring men were capable of giving to the management of the city’s affairs a clean and high-class government. You wanted the country to know that the great body that made the wealth of this city was able to manage it. You did not then think it possible that a movement that came from you could be made the creature and tool to carry out the schemes of a political boss. You have all been duped, tricked and fooled. “Now you have no Union Labor party to represent you, but instead a party managed by one who was and is a Re- publican boss. He never was a member of any trades union and never afiliated with them until he found-them necessary d-sliinging though the candidate for Mayor does not | to his schemes | to receive and listen to every class of peo- ple on exactly the same terms, then you can cast your ballot for me.” Daniel Harrington was chairman of the meeting. Addresses were also made by | Carl Westerfeld, Dr. Dodge, Judge Ca- baniss, T. Carey Friedlander, Judge | gan and P. J. Curtis. Lane next spoke to the voters of the Thirty-first Assembly District at the P: trero Opera-house on Tennessee street near Eighteenth. He said he saw many in the audience he had seen in the same hall five years ago when he first started in to make his political speeches in this city. He thanked theia for the support they had always given him, and felt and knew that they took a friendly interest in him and he was assured he would have their ald in the battle on Tuesday next. “I want to thank you, one and all.” ha said, “and I want you all to know that I appreciate what you have done for me. I have always tried to pursue a straight- forward, honest and manly course and I think and am sure you believe me. I want you to lift yourselves away from partisanship and stand up for good gov- ernment. Be true to yourselves and you will be loyal to this great city of San Francisco, which you all love so well and of which you are all so proud. To do this you must get away from Abe Ruef and his factions and for the weifare of the city you must be patriots and rise above any political machine and any politieal boss. Wipe out class lines. Vote for the men who will give you a clean adminis- tration. “There never have been such meetings as I have attended the -past few days. Everywhere I have talked to the capacl- ties of the different halls in which I hawe spoken, and I have seen in my audienss men of every class and station in life ana all have given strict attention to what [ have said in regard to good government and the parties that are governed by a political boss. “When I started out on this campaign the word was passed around on every side, ‘Lane isn't in it." There is a mighty different sentiment in the land now, for ‘Lane is very much in it." “People on every side are now rallying to the rescue of the city and are all de- manding a clean and honest adminigtra- tion. This great wave is fising by the greatest movement that has been seen here for many years, and the banner lines of this movement are ‘Justice and a Continued on Page 7, Columms 1.
