THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1904. REGULAR REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATIONS WIN SIGNAL VICTORIES AT PRIMARIES HELD TO SELECT DELEGATES TO STATE AND LOCAL CONVENTIONS Fight Against the Recognized Party Ticket Is Successful in Only Two of the Assembly Districts. Fraudulent Voting and Crooked Work Are and Cart Win ountenanced by the Horse g of Bourbons. The primary election in San Fran- tisco yesterday resulted in a victory r the regular Republican organiza- tion in all Assembly districts other than the Thirty-fifth and Thirty-sixth. The success of the Eggers delegates swver the regulars in the Thirty-sixth £ the nomination of John Mul- the Assembly.

Weich, leader of the opposition, " and his opponent on the regular ticket for delegate The Thirty-fifth District, which, along with the Thirty-second, constitutes the Nineteenth Senatorial District, went against the organization, but it is as- serted at party headquarters that ghe result in the Thirty-fifth does not sig- nify the nomination of Welch for the State te The Republican vote throughout the was 9010.

Though charges of “stuffing” jcould be heard in a majority of the i districts, it is not known positively that any criminal scheme was consummat- ed except in the Seventy-second Pre- | cinct of the Thirty-eighth District. In | many other precincts there is fairly | Bood evidence that illegal votes were | cast. | In the gray of the morning, a few | minutes after the voting booth of this | precinct opened, it was invaded by a gang of heelers. The majority of them called for Democratic ballots, signed | the book, voted and slipped away. Things went along merrily, no one sus- | pecting that fraud was being commit- | ted, until two hard-looking citizens en- | tered the booth, and, after calling for | ballots, announced, one that his name | was Willlam Pugh, the other that he was Joseph Kane. J. J. Golden, elec- | tion officer, looked up from his work in He is acquainted with Pugh |and knows his voice. The voter was | not Pugh. “You can’t vote for that man,” said Golden. “I know Mr. Pugh.” | The crook ran his pen through the | name he had signed and bolted for the | door. The man that announced he was | Kane followed on a run. Police were, | summoned, but the “stuffers” managed | to elude them and make their escape. | The election officers then sat up and began to fake notice. It was their | opinion that' the discomfiture of the | man who attempted to vote Pugh's name had prevented the consummation | of the only fraud attempted. But they were in error. In a short time Dewitt 8. Riddell and Howard M. Ladd, Re- | publicans, both brothers-in-law of Phil | Fay, appeared at the booth and called | for ballots. An examination of the register disclosed the fact that they had been voted by the “stuffers.” ° SWEAR IN THEIR VOTES. They demanded, however, that they be allowed to vote, and their ballots were sworn in. Following Riddell and Ladd came Menke, a grocer, to learn |that the heelers had also voted his | name. His protest was recorded and | he was allowed to swear in his Yote. | These developments were soon noised | throughout the district and were gen- | erally charged to rounders working in the interest of the “Horses and Carts,” | who reorganized for the campaign un- | der the title of the Democratic League. | The fact of the commission of the fraud was communicated to the head- | quarters of the regular Democratic or- ganization—the McNab wing—and an investigation was instituted. A list of | the names of all those that appeared as having voted was taken by the reg- ular Democrats, They say they will interview every person whose signa- ture appears, that they may get all the évidence possible to further their ef- forts to land the offenders in the peni- | tentiary. | Charges were also freely made | throughout the Thirty-eighth Distgjct | that heelers were getting $10 each Yor | aiding in the effort to stuff the ballot boxes. It was claimed by ‘some that they saw money paid to the “stuffers,” but as to names and persons they were s0 hazy that their testimony would be of little importance in a criminal pro- ceeding. Several complaints were also re- ceived 'in the Registrar's office during the day from citizens in the Forty- third Assembly District that when they reached the polling places and desired to vote they were informed that their names had already been voted. Reg- istrar Adams issued an order that any man whose name had been voted and who was willing to swear in his vote would be allowed to exercise his fran- chise. HIGH-HANDED PROCEEDINGS. A complaint also reached the Regis- trar's office that affairs were being conducted in a high-handed manner in general precinct No. 107, on the north ! side of Jackson street, near Leaven- }wonh. It was charged that tickets were being peddled in the booths In violation of the 100-foot law and that the police officers in attendance were doing nothing to stop the illegal prac- tice. Word was sent from the regis- tration office to the complainant that he should call on the police officers to do their duty and in the event of their refusal report the matter to the Chiet of Police. Joseph P. Hayes, who represented theé ‘regular Democrats in the Forty- third, drove a young man out of the booth at 629 Post street who tried to “repeat” under the name of John Den- nig O’Brien. O'Brien is out of the city. Police Sergeant Williams captured the ‘young man, but as no one appeared to prefer a charge against him he was freed. Hayes said that during the day the following names were - llegally voted by “stuffers”: George Knapp of 12 Lewis street; Charles Ruggles, who lives on Bush street; P. Walsh, whose Jackson, James |- ! The San Diego legislative delegation of three will go unpledged. The contest may be;:ome so | | close in the south that San Diego will hold the balance of power. The victory of Muenter over Dun- lap in San Joaquin is favorable to Oxnard. Fresno County’s Senator and two Assemblymen will support' Bard. B. F. Rush wins out over Frank Devlin in Solano County. The success of the Hayes | | forces in Santa Clara is regarded as favorable to Bard or Oxnard. The machine forces, which met l STATUS OF | | and the Prohibitionists 18. stand: Flint, 9; Bard, s. o | | | | Gavin McNab, leader of the regular or county committee forces of thé Dem- | ocratic party won a victory at the | primary election yesterday over James | H. O’'Brien, commander of the Demo- cratic League. Owing to some con- | fusion in the returns of the Forty- | fourth Assembly District the actual re- | sult may not be declared until this | afternoon. The .returns, however, in- dicate that McNab wins the Twenty- ninth, Thirtieth, Thirty-first, Thirty- second, Thirty-third, Thirty-fourth, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth and | Forty-fourth Assembly districts, or 96 | of the 168 delegates to the local con- vention. The regulars also win a ma- | jority of the delegates to the Fourth and" Fifth Congressional District con- ventions. Gavin McNab asserts that | the victory of the regular organization | | is complete and decisive. The Democratic League, commonly | known as the Horses and Carts, wins | in the Twenty-eighth, Thirty-sixth, | | Thirty-seventh, Thirty-eighth, Forty- first, Forty-second, Forty-third and | Forty-fifth Assembly’ ricts, or 72 of the 168 delegates. O'Brlen, however, does not admit defeat. He contends that the Jeague will organize the municipal convention. Charles J, Heg-} gerty, the law partner of George A, Knight, will be put in the field as the | league’s candidate for chairman. It is | claimed by the Horse and Cart leaders that several delegates who Were placed on the organization ticket without their krowledge or consent and whose names wereq ot canceled, after request for cancellation had been made, will give their support to the Democratic League. At O'Brien headquarters the Forty- fourth District is not*conceded to Mc- Nab, hence the assertion that the Haorses and Carts will organize the con- vention. All the signs point to a bitter and party-wrecking fight. Undoubtedly O’'Brien will be able to muster seventy- two delegates and vote that Mumber “‘solid” on ‘every proposition introduced or against any candidate proposed by McNab. ¢ The contest in the Democratic ranks yesterday was marred by repeafing and fraudulent voting. Money was used to corrupt voters. According to the gen- residence is at Sutter and Jones streets; David Bolles of the Signal Tranifer Company, and John Cahill of i 420 O’Farrell street. 'Hayes relies upon a comparison of signatures to substan- tiate his charge. Matters were lively for a time yes- terday in Gavin McNab’s home dis- trict, the Forty-fourth. At the booth on Pine street, near Dupont, two men attempted to cast fraudulent votes,but they were thrown out. One signed the name of Bert Marison of 522% Pine street and the other gave the name of W. H. Candee, both claiming to be Democrats. The inspectors recognized the would-be voters as impostors and charged them with being such. The “stuffers” left the booth hurriedly, no effort being made to arrest them. FIGHT .OF REPUBLICANS. In the Thirty-sixth District the Dem- ocratic fight was fargely ecl by the battle between the Republican forces headed by A. Ruef and those lined up by Supervisor Fred Eggers. Charles Mayer, a saloonkeeper, direct- ed Ruef’s men, while Eggers was aided in his efforts to gain control of the disg trict by Attorney H. N. Beatty, If there was bitterness in the contest it did not show on the surface. Both fac- tions worked tirelessly, though good- naturedly, throughout the voting hours. ’ The fight between the Republican or- ganization and the forces headed by Chief Wharfinger R. J. Welch, who seeks to be renominated for State Sen- ator, was picturesque in the Thirty- second District and warm in the Thir- ty-fifth District. The lame, the halt and the blind from the City and Coun- ty Hospital entered the fight, especially in the Thirty-second, and were a po- tent factor. Early in the day buggies rented by Ruef's representatives began to haul the unfortunates from the hos- pital to the polling places. At the booths rival factions seized the suf- ferers from ma'adies chronic and acute and although Ruef paid all’the freight he did not get all the ballots. It is ad- mitted, however, that from his hospital exploit he was about forty votes to the good when the day’s work was over. Out in the Thirty-ninth District, where the tottering inmates of the Almshouse cast their ballots, all fac- tions were interested and active. Charges that these unfortunates have been purchased like sheep in past cam- | deteat, were openly against Bard. FIG In the. Eighth District there is eral trend of reports the Horse and among at least three. Cart supporters resorted to the fraud- ulent practices. The opposition to Me- Nab will not amount to much in the State convention of the party. chief concern of the forces centered around the local con- vention.

Three hold- over Senators, Hahn, Savage and Pendleton, are for Flint, which makes the Los Angeles delegation a close contest between S. C. Smith of Kern and M. L. Ward of San Diego for the Republican Congressional nomination. %——\.——“—‘F League Forces That Had as Their Purpose the Political Annihilation of Gavin McNab Are Defeated in Bitter Contest Waged in City.

The Forty-fourth District has nine delegates and the vote, excluding the precinct yet to be counted, gives 242 votes to the regular Demacratic ticket and 214 to the Horses and Carts, the vote in eath instance being the high- est cast for any one candidate. i In the Thirty-fourth District the regular Democrats elect seven dele- gates and the Horses and Carts two, the State convention. The regulars elect eight delegates to the local con- vention and Fanning (regular) and Sie- bert (Dem. League) polled a tie vote, thus giving each a half vote in the con- vention. In the Forty-third District the regu- lar Democrats elect two delegates to the local convention and the League elects six. RASEGE . BALLOT CLERK'S ERROR TIES UP THE RETURNS IN THE FORTY-FOURTH The blunder of an election clerk in Precinct 109, Forty-fourth District, at Pine and Kearny streets, prevented the tally of the officlal vote there and may have its effect on the McNab forces. It is also likely to affect the Congressional fight in the Fourth District. The tally clerk made his mistake af- ter the polling was complete. In adding up the totals, he got the names of the cahdidates mixed and credited votes to one man that should have been divided paigns caused a sharp lookout to be kept, with the result that no com- plaints -of irregularities were made. They may come later, however, and the Almshouse should not begin to con- gratulate itself that it has passed through the primary unscathed until the history of the fight just over is lost in the mazes of the next.

Flynn gets nine delegates in the Third Ward, while the two are tied for eight delegates in the Fourth ‘Ward, which would divide this delega- tion, making nineteen votes for Burke and thirteen for Flynn.

Oneal needed the votes of the Third Ward delegation to secure the nomination, and here the Hayes party made their fight. The First Ward, which has always been a Mackenzie stronghold, was car- ried nearly two to one by the Hayes people. In the Second Ward they elected their ticket by 38 votes, and in the Third Ward received a big major- ity. The Mackenzie faction carried the Fourth Ward by 13 votes.
