The success of the two meetings brought home to the minds of the cam- committee that outdoor meetings in this ideal weather were valuable to the ca Citizens on their way to places of amusement paused to listen to the orators and cheer for the ticket. Men who did not care to be hedged in by the walls of a big hall stood for an hour and enjoyed the arguments set forth by the various speakers. Friends of Henry H Lynch and Judge Bahrs raised their voices for those two popular candidates. Mr. Crocker was interrupted at the out- set of his speech by the noisy adherents of Mayor Schmitz. Mr. Crocker appealed to them for fair play and the disturbers were shamed into being quiet. At an- other time newcomers attempted to cheer for Schmitz, but they were startled by the tremendous shout for Crocker that rent the air and echoed in the distance. FOR CLEAN GOVERNMENT. The standard bearer spoke for clean government, for a greater San Francisco and for the welfare of its inhabitants. Mr. Crocker's speech was not unlike those he has made before in the campaign. He made no promises that he is not able to keep when elected to the office to which he aspires In ope: ng the meeting Chairman Ryan | appealed to the assembled voters to think [ ana l well before entering the voting boeths to vote for Henry J. Crocker and the whole Republican ticket as the can- didates on that ticket represented good government ‘My friends,” he said for all thinking voter: t is about time to stop and con- sider w is best for their interests. We should have a man as Mayor of the city who repre s the best interests of the city; who has been all his life an honorable and distinguished citizen; who has been a business man. The cry has gone out for such a man as Henry J, and when the isues of the cam- | Crock (Appla man at the h e.) We want a busi- ead of the city.

Why should we put into public office a professional politician? ness Why ave a man in office who will be to and true to every obliga- tic ) n he 18 sworn in as Ma f sco? nds, y it is the time for you workingmen to think. I say to you, you must not follow false gods and false idols they will prove false to you. The present Mayor of San Francisco has not only violated his promises but has i n his pledges to the people and to you, who are cheering for him here to- night. Two years ago, when Mayor Schmitz started out for office, the unions were undivided and came forward with solid ranks and solid front for him. To- | day we find a division in their ranks; we find the unions supporting the three par- ties The very moment that dissension creeps into the organization it means the disintegration of the union. Workingmen represent the strength and muscle and | brawn of the land and iIf they stand to- gether they can rule all politics, and all parties will come to them. (Applause.) | SCHMITZ IS OWNED. { “Then why accept any particular man | and place him at the head of the city gov | ernment when he must pay tribute to an. | other, when in every act and every deed he does he must seek the advice and coun- | sel and the opinions of another man, who never elected to office? (Cries of ‘Abe Ruef.’) Yes, my friends, that's the man, and when you elect the Union Labor can. didate you are represented by him, “To-morrow when you go to the polls and cast vour ballot you will cast your vote for a man who loves his city and who has its improvement at heart—Henry J. Crocker. (Cheers for Crocker.) “My friends, make no mistake. Remem- ber that Henry J. Crocker comes from his place of business in order that the fair name of the city that he loves so well =hall be properly run. And remem- ber, my friends, that a city is only splen- did 'in the splendor of her citizenship. So I say to you that Henry J. Crocker stands for good. government and he stands for everything that iIs decent in the city of San Francisco. And I say to you to-mor- row night when the votes are counted the next Mayor will be Henry J. Crocker. (Great applause and cheers for Crocker.) “1 wish to take the opportunity of in- troducing as the next speaker Mr. Edgar D. Peixotto. Mr. Peixotto had to wait a few minutes until the cries for Crocker subsided be. fore attempting to speak. When quiet restored Mr. Peixotto spoke as fol- | 10 “Ladies and Gentlemen: This is indeed a novelty in the Republican ranks, but we are willing to meet you in our halls, in our homes and on our streets.

Then tear the mask from this man with the face of Schmitz and the background of Ruef.” (Applapse.) BOYS CHEER FOR ABE. The speaker was interrupted: by shouts for Schmitz and he replied: “Iet any one who wants to shout for Schmitz give three cheers for Ruef,” and the small boys in the crowd took up the dare and rafsed their shrill volces for the man,behind the throne. Then a good Republican shouted ‘“Three cheers for Henry J. Crocker!” and the united volces of the friends gf good gov- ernment made the welkin ring. Mr. Crocker got Into the wagon at this time and the crowd immediately recog- nized him. The reception given to him was almost an ovation. It was many minutes before he could speak. He waited and walted and, as soon as he sfarted again, the cheers for this popular candidate filled the air. The noise was, accentuated by the discharge of a flashlight. When the cheering had subsided Mr. Crocker spoke as follows: “I want to say, ladies and gentlemen, that I have been through campaign REPUBLICAN LEADER SURE OF HIS ELECTION TO OFFICE Promises People That Gather Round Him That He Wiil Give Them Clean Administration ar:\d One That Will Redound to Credit of the City — - & from start to finish. I have ultimate| faith, as I have stated to the people throughout this campaign, in the people | of San Francisco and in their own good judgment. I belleve to-morrow will show a glorfous victory. I believe that the peo- ple of this city will elect a government that goes with the charter and with the bond issue. I believe that they will elect the whole Bepublican ticket. (Applduse.) You people have done me the honor of nominating me for this high office and in return I will do you the honor of a clean administration. The people to-morrow are going to show where they will place their confidence. 1 think you will use wisdom and go to the polls and stand by the ticket. I say you will go to the polls and vote for a government that is free | from entanglements.” (Three cheers for | Henry J. Crocker. There were cries for | Schmitz and Mr. Crocker said: “I say, ladies and gentlemen, that this is the first audience that Mr. Schmitz has | presented to me that has not been gen- tlemanly in character. I say even to the | Schmitz men that if the people elect me | Mayor of this city they will be proud of | the government I will give them. REPRESENTS NO CLASS. “I am no class candidate, ladies and gentlemen. I have been brought up with the same class that you have. I have been taught to earn my own living and have been taught to be a gentleman | throughout. My schooling and education | have been no better than yours. My | habits in this world have only been those | of a good citizen. I have gone through this world with honor to myself and my | family. If I am elected at this time, I | will try to live up to the standard which | our common schools teach us.

I can give you a clean one and I can go into office and have no side- shows. *“The Republican party for the first time in years is united and it has divested itself of bosses. Some so-called Republicans | are going out and trading for votes. They | are not Republicans and are not good citizens, because they are (rading for votes. “In conglusion I want to say T have been dead and buried in this campaign several times and even my opponents. ad- mit that T am one of the kind of people that don't stay dead. When I go into g fight of this kind. gentlemen, 1 go into it to win. (Cries “You are a winner.") “I say after one month of campaigning I have never lost my voice or my nerve and I say again that if T am electeq | will give you an honorable administration and it will be an energetic one, thank you. (Great cheering.) I wish to thank Mr. Schmitz's friends for their kind at- tention,” was Mr. Crocker's parting shot as he left the vehicle and shook hands with the hundreds of workingme surrounded him, g e A. Van der Naillen, the “‘workingman’ friend,” made a fervent appeal to th: assemblage for the support of the Repub- lican ticket. He told of the necessity of such action and his words made a deep | and lasting impression ‘on his auditors. | SUGGESTION TO LABOR. Mr. Van der Naillen suggested to work- ingmen that the best thing they could do | was to strengthen their own organiza- | tions and then sends for the various politi- | parties and tell them what they ‘ he felt sure they would only be too willing to obey their requests. Mr. Van der Naillen also told of his being ap- pointed a member of the Board of Public Works and of the compliment paid to him by Mayor Schmitz, who told him he had made a fine public official and was doing his duty. He charged Abe Ruef with getting him ousted from his position. He said it was because of Ruef’s opposition that he was not reappointed to the position. He told »f the fine character of Henry J. Crocker. He sald he spoke for the Republican | ticket. He paid a high tribute to the men | who are on the ticket and appealed to the | workingmen to give the ticket their sup- | port. Maxwell McNutt, a candidate for Su- pervisor, was the next speaker intro- | duced and he was given a kindly recep- | tion. Mr. McNutt said he had addressed , thousands of voters during the campaign | and was deeply grateful for the generous | greetings extended to him. He assured | the voters that if he was elected Super- visor he would give his closest attention nd would endeavor to serve the whole | people fairly and squarely. | Charles Alpers, a resident of the Mis- | sion and a citizen who has always taken a deep interest in municipal affairs, next addressed the crowd. Mr. Alpers afforded great amusement by rhyming his re- | marks. He also made a strong argument | in favor of the Republican ticket. He | sald Mr. Crocker was the sort of a man that should be in the Mayor's chair and if elected would give the people the kind of government that they have clamored for for the last few years. Henry Manning, a friend of Henry H. Lynch, candidate for Sheriff, was next introduced by Mr. Ryan and told of Mr. Lynch’'s attitude toward labor. He told how Mr. Lynch had given employment to men that had been discharged from the Sutter-street road while he was con- structing the Powell-street line. He nar- rated instances of Mr. Lynch's gener- osity and of the assistance he has al- ways rendered those in need. “Henry H. | Lynch,” he said, “is the kind of a man we ought to elect. Hg is™ good citizen, has a big heart and will give the people | a good, clean administration.” BAHRS' CAMPAIGN. John J. Hourigan took up the cudgels for his friend, Judge George H. Bahrs, | the strenuous campaigner, who is a can—‘ didate for Assessor. He apologized for | Mr. Bahrs absence by saying that the | Judge had attended three other meetings and was detained. He told of the Bahrs Volunteers, who, he said, numbered at least 24,000, and he said if they did their duty at the polls to-day Judge Bahrs' | Graham GONCLUDES Al GLEAN GAMPAIGA Republican Nominee for Mayor Makes Manly Speech. g, Schmitz Men Quieted by His Appeal for a Fair Hearing - rs well there h his found it ured th detrim “Judge he sald -5 wrong with would have been an open book.
