A grand ratifi- cation meeting is in course of prepar- ation by the Union League Club and it will accentuate the triumph of Tues- day in a fitting manner. As yet no date has been set for the ratification, but ideas are being devel- oped that promise to make the occasion a memorable one. The flambeau clubs of Assembly | | | | Court and the uniformed legions of ti:e party ! will form a parade that will lead the way to scme large hall, where the par- ty’s history will be told again, and promises for a brighter future renewed. ‘What par:i the State and county or- ganizations will take in the affair ‘s vet to be cecided, but it is known that they wiil lend their fullest co-oper: | tion. Although the fate of the proposed constitutional amendment extending the sessions of the Legislature is In doubt, there is already considerable ac- tivity among those that will constitute the body, the offices of president pro tem. of the Senate and speaker of the House being largely in demand. The | 1atest aspirant for the office of speaker of the House is T. E. Atkinson, who was elected in the Thirty-ninth District after a bitter fight against an indepen- dent candidate. Atkinson’s friends say he is sure of the support of the entire San Francisco delegation and will make a hard fight for the place. This is Atkinson’s first term, however, and it is pointed out by party leaders that his associates are likely to make this a ground for opposing his candidacy.

The building at 16 Geary street is to be torn down in a few weeks to make place for a twelve-story structure, and the county committee has been ordered A sub-committee is looking to vacate. for suitable rooms that do not come too high. ——e—————— ARRANGING FOR GRE! | the calling of elections, | tion to submit INTERFERE Supervisors Possess Right! to Postpone Election on| the Proposed Amendments NO CHANCE OF APPEAL State Constitution Grants)| Discretionary Power to!

The case was brought to the official attention of the Supreme Court' by the Board of Education. Morris Lubiner, as a taxpayer, petitioned the, Justices for a writ of mandate com- pelling the Board of Supervisors to or- der a special election on proposed amendments to the charter. An at-| tempt was made to show that the law | made it mandatory upon the city's legislators to call an election after they | had formally decided to do so. | The Election Commissioners declined to place the propositions on the of- ficial ballot for the general election of last Tuesday and the Supreme Court: sustained them. Then a speclal elec- tion was demanded, but the Board of Supervisors refused to take action on the ground that there was a lack of funds. | The Supreme Court, after reviewing the statutory prov ] o 5 3 < B B n o [} says: of the opinion that under this provision of the Constitution the defendams (Supervisors) are invested with full discretion to order a special election, | or, if they deem that course inadvisa- ble, to wait until the next general elec- the proposed amend | ments to a vote of the people.” RELIGIOUS CONVENTION | Members of Christian Church Ap- point Special Standing Commit- tees of Prominent Men.

As they must be paid in full and salaries also awarded to their sub- stitutes, the Commissioners decided to withdraw the firemen stationed at the Urique, the Broadway, the Cineo- graph, the Empire, the Novelty and | the Midway. The smaliler show houses were chosen as there is less danger of panic and some of them are liable to be closed at any time for failure to cemply with regulations regarding exits. Captain Frank Nichols of Truck 4 was before the Commissioners, charged with failure to pay a grocery bill. He was informed that he would be sus- pended until he settied with his credi- ter. Through the mediation of a w ey broker a satisfactory settle- ment was made in less than ten min- utes.

J Hill the presidency of the Great North- ern Steamship Company, and accom- panying this announcement was an- rther that Farrell had been appointed sxistant to the president of the Great orthern Railrcad, of which Hill is the head. Immediately after joining the Hill forces Farrell went to the Orient for the purpose of arranging agencles there for the Hill steamship line and effecting traffic alliances with large Japanese and Chinese concerns.
