CROCKER, REPUBLICAN NON ONDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1903, - : e s VEE FOR THE OFFICE OF MAYOR OF SAN FRANCISCO, WHOSE ELECTION OVER HIS OPPONENTS, EUGENE BE. SCHMITZ OF THE UNION LABOR PARTY AND FRANK- LIN K. LANE, DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE, SEEMS TO BE* ASSURED. i e A S SR S Abe Ruef Is Squeezing the Tenderloin to Raise Funds o stamp the X opposite the hame of every Republican nominee for Supervisor that he wishes to vote for. If he does not do this the election officers will not know what two candidates of the party he in- tends to vote against and will therefore count only for the two Democratic candi- dates. The safe rule for Republicans to follow is to stamp the X in the circle at the head of the Republican column and then stamp an X opposite the name of every candidate of his choice, being care- ful all the time to keep within the Re- publican column. As the Democrats are in the minority in this city, the candi- dates of that party are particularly anx- jous that the independent Republicans should go to their assistance. Republi- cans are beginning to understand that Re- publican victories cannot be won by vot- | to Carry On His Losing Fight for Schmitz. _— s ing for Democratic nominees. The straight Republican ticket this year is good enough fof anybody. The conven- tion which nominated the ticket emanated directly from the people. The nominee for Mayor is a man of high character and excellent business attainments. He is a native son of California and a Re- publican of the stanchest sort. He is entitled to the confidence and support of his party and the full measure of the Re- publican voting strength. - SQUEEZING THE SALOONS. The events of the last forty-elght hours have convinced men of the conservative sort and men of the radical stamp, and, in fact, have convinced men in every sta- tion of life and every avenue of employ- ment, that the fight 18 now narrowed down to a battle between Henry J. Crock- er and Eugene E. Schmitz. The lines are distinctly drawn. It is true that quite a number of citizens entertain kindly feel- ings toward Mr. Laene, but he is so far removed from the contest that the betting is actually ten to one that he will not be better than third in the race. The citi- zenflmn mcluu his vote for the Demo- cratic nominee will practically ¢ Schmitz and Ruef. it e Schmitz’s candidacy is formidable. The labor union men are not as earnest nor united in his support as they were two years ago, when he ran against Wells and Tobin, but Ruef has campaigned in the tenderloin and promised the denizens of that quarter that Schmitz, if re-elected, Continued on Page 7, Column 8. THEIR SUPPORT Union Labor Demonstrates lis Independence and Sagacity. Toilers in the Ranks Give Word That They Will Aid Crocker. ~ NION labor will present a determined front in the batt line of the Crocker forces to-morrow. Thousands of sta wart toilers—who fought for Schmitz in the last cam paign and have since felt the influence of his treason to their cause—have turned back to that party that never failed them ir time of need. To demonstrate the facts above stated beyond possible doubt and to cast the question among the undebatable The Call has procured the following signed statements from reg resentative union labor men who will vote for Henry J. Crocker to-morrow : Crocker will win beyond doubt. W. C. FRENCH, Member Bridge and Structural Iron-Workers’ Union No. 31 v No good union man can vote for Gavin McNab or Abe Ruef. So you can see where I stand in this fight. A. J. ARMBRUSTER, Member Felt and Composition Roofers’ Union No. 1. Schmitz and Lane both claimed the labor vote. To-day Crocker is stronger with labor than either of them. W. L. EVANS, Member Millwrights' Union. The election of next Tuesday is of more than ordinary im portance to the wage-workers of San Francisco. Crocker’s elec- tion means plenty of work and consequent prosperity; hence I shall vote for Crocker. THOMAS CONLEY, Member Carpenters’ Union No. 22 ‘\ e I We have been fooled once. We will see to it that it does not occur again. We expected to see some benefit from the Schmitz administration, but we did not get it. If Cro..er does not bring success, no one can. S. VAILENGUELA, Member Millmen’s Union No. 423. Crocker is an ideal man for Mayor. He will reflect credit upon his constituents and the city. ED SUMMERVILLE, Member Teamsters’ Union. I'm for Crocker—first, last and all the time. When I say this it does not mean that I am controlled by any political party, but only the city’s good. A. E. SMITH, Member Painters’ Union No. 19. - . s I'm for Crocker. So are all my friends. Don’t worry about the result. WILLIAM R. GORE, Member Bticklayers’ Union No. 7. You can say my vote goes in for Crocker and I wish I could vote a hundred times. FREDERICK W. MORTON, " Member Bricklayers’ Union No. 7. We make no mistake when we vote for Crocker. He is a good man. WILLIAM DOWNEY, Member Laundry Workers’ Union No. 26. The election of Henry J. Crocker will teach the pretenders alesson. Counterfeits don’t go with us. RICHARD HOPKINS, Vice President Bricklayers’ Union No. 7. ™ dabeiiiebnisli It is a settled fact that Crocker is stronger than Lane. Tt is, therefore, our duty to rally to Crocker and make his election ab- solutely sure. C. W. SPRINGSTEIN, o Member Millmen’s Union No. 423. Crocker is now and always has been with labor. Able, hon- est and competent is Henry J. Crocker, the next Mayor of San _Francisco. LOUIS BIBESCU, | Member Sheet Metal Workers' Union No. 279. A i ——— When the money raised by the bond issue will be spent, we want a man who will insure a dollar’s value for a dollar spent. I know that Henry J. Crocker will see that the city gets value re- ceived. J. GRIFFIN, Member Painters’ Union No. 19. The election of Henry J. Crocker will mean prosperity and work. WILLIAM E. CLARK, Union No. 22, U. B. C. and J. I believe that the future success of our city depends upon the election of Henry J. Crocker. C. D. LUCAS, ; Carpenters’ Union No. 776 While unions as organizations are absolutely out of politics, individual union men have a duty to perform, and that is to use their best endeavors to secure an administration of public affairs which will guaranteeto them steady work and good wages. Crocker will do it. H. A. PATTEN, Member Painters’ Union No. 10- Crocker is always the same, whether he is running for office or not. He will know you to-morrow as well as to-day. F.
