PARTRIDGE. The monster ratification parade workingmen, which was to have marched through the streets of this city last! night in honor of Mayor 8chmitz and the candidates of the Union Labor . party, proved to be a great disappointment to the leaders in the Ruef cause. It was, on the other hand, of the greatest en- couragement to John S. Partridge and the other fusion candidates, for the mea- : | ger number of voters in the procession proved to them that the victory was al- ready won for decent government and that the wage earners of this city had come to a realization of the sincerity of the fusion principles and would sup- port them. The parade that was to have been such a monster in proportions turned out to | be a flasco. There was by actual count less than 8000 people who followed the carrlage of the” Mayor and the great black horse of P, Hi McCarthy. Of this number fully 1500 were boys, bearing | torches and mose makers. About | 4000 were wage earners of San Francisco and they were honestly enthusiastic. The rest, about 2500, were representatives of the tenderloin, whose very existence depends upon the success of Mayor Schmitz at the polls to-day and who are doomed to perish through the might of decent public sentiment. They came In automoblles and carriages, making a great noise with tin horns and screaming LOUIS 15 CUEST ~ OF PRESIDENT British Prince Accepts an Informal Imvitation to Dine at the White House WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Honored by the President by an informal invitation to luncheon at the White House, Rear Admiral Prince Louls of Battenberg kept his special train waiting three-quarters | of an hour this afternoon while the Pres- ident engaged him in a long personal con- | versation. In the morning Prince Louis visited { )Tounl Vernon, making the trip down the | Potomac River on the United States dis- l patch boat Dolphin, commanded by Com- mander John Gibbons. On board the Dol- phin was a party of about fifty, including Rear Admirals Evans and Brpwnson, Rear Admiral Capps, chief constructor of the pavy, and the commanding offi- cers of the British squadron. The Dol- phin got under way promptly at 9 o'clock. At Mount Vernon the party was met at the landing by the superintendent of the grounds, who conducted them through the home of the first President, As they came to the tomb each person bared his head, while Prince Louis went up to the sepulcher and reverently stood in stlence for a few moments. TUpon leaving Mount Vernon the Prince was pre- sented with an {vy plant, a sprout from the plant which grows about the tomb of ‘Washington. The Prince went first to the British Embassy to take leave of the British Embassador and Lady Durand, whose guest he has been while in Washington, |and a few minutes later went to the | White House, where he was the personal guest of the President and Mrs. Roose- velt at gn informal luncheon. Nothing ' bas pleased the distinguished visitor more singe his arrival in this country than the two hours and a half he spent with the President and his family thig afternoon. The President is undlng to the King a return personal messa, | Admiral Prince Louis, which will de- | livered when the Prince next visits Lon- don. From the White House the Prince rode to the station in an automobile, where he was joined by the other British officers and Rear Admirals Evans and Brownson, and left on @& special train for Annapolis. Before his departure for Annapolis Prince Louis made a statement in which he expressed his appreciation of the “courtesy, cordiality and consideration that have been shown us by the Presi- dent, members of the Cabinet and officers of the army and navy,” and declared i of | trumpets. It took this procession less than half an hour to pass a given point along the line of march—a positive proof of the smaliness of the marching crowd of voters. Along the streets little enthusia$m was manifested as the procession went by. ‘When the carriage of the Mayor came along, drawn by its six fine horses, some in the crowd cheered, but the greater majority remained silent. The Mayor stood in his carriage and bowed upon all sides as though he was recelving the greatest ovation in his career. Yet he must have been bitterly disappointed ‘at his reception’by the gazing crowd-and in his heart he must have cursed Abraham Ruef and the grafting element, whose loyalty is the cause of his downfall. Nev- er was there a sign more significant than was the silence of the multitude last night. It spoke a Partridge victory to- day. RUEF SLIPS AWAY, Abraham Ruef did not rule in the pa- rade. He did not sit by the side of the Mayor in the procession. Yet he was there with a helping hand at its organi- zation and spoke words of cheer to his forces. Then he crept away, just be- fore the start was made. He did not stay with the followers of his camp, but disappeared with the crowd along Mar- ket street. - SCHMITZ'S PARADE ASSURES FUSION PARTY OF VICTORY Much Heralded Procession of Wage-Earners Only 8000 Strong, Barely Half of Whom Are Werkingmen. Two great meetings were held after the parade and these were teeming with enthusiasm. Mechanics’ Pavillon was crowded from door to door and the over- flow marched down to the Alhambra The- ater and filled its every corner. Mayor Schmita spoke at both meetings. He was given an ovation on his entrance at each that lasted fully flve minutes. The May- or bowed his appreciation and then, with a touch of sadness in his voice, pralsed them on the magnificent parade of the enrl‘ evening. He did not talk long. rged every citizen to vote the Union Labor party et straight and to help toll up a majority for the party. He characterized the campalgn as one of villification and abuse, saying that he had been greatly wronged through the press and by, the opposition speakers. He assured the people that he harbored {ll-feeling toward no man or clags, but that if elected he would rule in the in- terests of ell the people. Major C. W. Kyle dubbed the candi- dates on the fusion ticket “dirty curs” and “hirelings dogs.” There was little applause for' these wild spasms. Other speakers of a milder character won the plaudits of the gathering. At noon yesterday Mayor Schmitz epoke to a crowd at Francisco and Kearny streets. Later he spoke to the work- men at the Oceanic docks. He was well received. ¢ — iy Green Light—Partridge.

CHICAGO, Nov. 6.—8ix months after electing by 25,000 plurality a2 municipal ownership Mayor, Chicago is as far as ever from acquiring ownership of the ex- isting street railway lines, or from the building of lines of her own. The City Council and Mayor Dunne are in dead- lock. The Mayor is unswervingly against granting any kind of extended franchise to the existing companies, and he is sup- ported in this position by the popular vote of last spring, which declared against such solution of the traction ques- tion by an pverwhelming majority of 86,000 in a total vote of 196,000. But the Council is dllpoud to grant a franchise to the existing companies, with a provision for compensation, which is to be applied to a fund for the ultimate pur- chase of the lines from the present own- ers of the property. On this proposition the transportation committee of e Council and the Mayor have been in dead- center opposition for weeks, with little apparent prospects for getting together. It is difficult to determine what, if any, change has taken place in public senti- ment on the municipal ownership ques- tion since the spring election, but the best Impartial judgment s that if an- other poll were held to-morrow Judge Dunne could not be elected. Shrewd political students, analyzing the result of the spring ele@tion in the light of the last six months, declare that, in | reality, a very small percentage of the voters were for municipal ownership or the operation of street rallways at that time. They were not voting for something, but against something, and that some- thing was the execrable service which | the street car companies gave. 1 It is generally belleved that, if the street car systems and service of Chicago had been as good as that of almost any other big city of the country, the propo- sition to have muni ownership would have been burled under an avalanche of 1 votes, The polls close at 5 O’eloet.

H. Newberry Takes Steps to Thwart Hundreds of Spurious Registrations On the eve of election a plot to win the fight for Ruef by resort to the des- perate device of voting hundreds of “stuffers” has been exposed and blocked by the fusion campaign com- mittee. Evidence of a widespread coloniza- tion of heelers ready to cast their bal- lots for Ruef has been collected. Hundreds of complaints against il- legally registered men have been sworn out and placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriffs for service at the polls to-day. Not a voter will cast his bal- lot in San Francisco who Is on the list, for a warrant of arrest will be served upon him as goon as he gives his name to the Election Board. For weeks secret service agents of the Republican-Democratic committee have been systematically at work un- covering the vast network of fraud and perjury which had been carefully woven in the interests of Schmitz. So hard were the Ruef followers pressed that they had taken chances in which the fate of Wyman, Steffens and Reb- stock, doomed to convicts' stripes, was, forsooth, forgotten. The registration rolls were filled with names which were placed there for the purpose of voting them {llegally to-day. / Scores upon scores of these phantom residents were brought to light by the persistent and unrelenting investigations made by the campaign committee, MUCH EVIDENCE OF FRAUD. Hundreds of ents of the fusion forces, under special guidance of trained experts, were employed in this labor. The result is that a mass of In- criminating evidence is in the hands of the men who have conducted the campaign against graft, And these men purpose to make good use of this evidence to-day. They have blocked the attempt to capture the election by the dirtiest sort of fraud, and they have prepared themselves to send eyvery corrupt “stuffer”. to the State penitentiary who shows his head In a polling booth to-day. They have de- termined that, so far as they are con- cerned, there shall be no illegal voting done. Not only will arrests be made, but prosecutions will follow, prosecutions that will mean conviction, for the evi- dence is too well in hand for a doubt as to the Intentions of the mob that has made ready for a foul raid upon the right of franchise. Under the direction of Perry H. Newberry, assistant secretary of tha Republican-Democratic committee, 487 complaints charging that number of “stuffers” with perjury have been sworn out. In each case a warrant of arrest has been issued. With the knowledge that the Police Department, through Jerry Dinan, its chief, Is con- trolled and owned by Abraham Ruef, these warrants have been placed in the hands of the Sheriff. His force will take care of them to-day. In the dis- tricts where the bulk of the stuffing has been done there will be at hand a large force to serve the documents. Not a man of the 500 listed as a “stuffer’” will be safe if he shall go to the polls, The committee has expend- ed thousands of dollars in making a breach in this fortress of fraud. That the work has not gone for naught is manifest from yesterday’'s disclosures. MAKE CANVASS OF CITY. The campaign against the “stuffers” began early. A force of 250 men was sent out on a house-to-house canvass of the city. The results were com- plled, district by district, and compari- sons were made with the registrations at the City Hall. Many illegal names were thus discovered. Verifications were made. Coples of the false affi- davits of registration were made. The records were supplemefted by afidav- its from special agents of the commit- tee. This evidence was filed and was placed in safe deposit vaults. ‘While the heavy registration was iIn progress during Beptember the committee had a large staff employed in checking the names against the house-to-house canvass returns. Every suspected name was_ closely investigated. Scores were found registered from vacant houses. Many more were traced to residences where they had never been heard of until the agent made inquiry, Many were on the rolls from corner lots, and so went the exposure of fraud. All this was going on under the eyes of the registra- tion offictals, but it was not for them to see. After registration closed the work was confined to examining the transfers. This went on until October 12, the date when all transferring ceased for this municipal election. “In every Instance where the evidence ' was collected that the registered name was that of a ‘stuffer,’ a complaint has been sworn out,” declared Assistant Secretary Newberry yesterday. “The evi- dence is complete. We can convict any ‘stuffer’ against whom a complaint has been sworn out, Our system has been perfect and the documents have been put where they will be preserved against de- struction. Only by the expenditure of much labor and money has this exposure of fraudulent registration on the part of the §chmitz outfit been disclosed. We know the men who directed it, and we can point to officlals of the city govern- ment in the Ruef camp as the manipu- lators.” - PLOT TO STEAL ELECTION. Special attention will be given the Twenty-eighth and the Forty-fourth dis- tricts to-day by the campaign committes. In both of these districts the “st 2 has been of the boldest and most shame- less c cter. Through the Barbary Coast Chinatown the registration reeks with rottenness, according to As- sistant aoenury Newberry.

Partridge and the en- tire Democratic-Republican ticket. He re- marked last night, when asked to make a forecast of the result, that he never had greater confidence in the success of any ticket than he has in that headed by Partridge. Many other men who are recognized as party leaders whose opin- fons in affairs of election are entitled fo consideration are convinced that the fu- sion nominees will win out to-day. The sharpest kind of a lookout will be maintained to prevent false voting, but| in spite of the utmost vigilance stuffers may attempt to impersonate legaily reg- istered voters. Should an elector on of- fering to vote be informed that his name has been voted, the course to pursue is plain. The voter should say to the elec- tion officers: “I have not voted, and I demand that my vote be accepted. Let it be sworn in. I am ready to be sworn.” No election officer has a right to refuse a vote under such conditions. Some years ago an inspector was sentenced to the penitentiary for one year by Judge Sullivan for refusing to allow a properly | registered voter to vote.

Did “Pin Head” McCarthy renege or did he need the money? is the question that is being debated around Henry Har- ris' corner these days. Filled with Bchmitz enthusiasm the grand marshal of the last chance *“‘demonstration” rolled up to Henry Harris after the parade, pleading for some one to take Schmitz money. “I have $1500 to bet on Schmitz,” he announced as he tacked up to the corner in the teeth of a gale. “Will you give 8 to 107" *“Certainly,” said Henry Harris. “It's a little late for betting, but I'm willing to take any money that's being tMfown away.” “Well, I have the goold right here,”™ said “Pin Head,” slapping his pocket and making a noise like a nickel-in-the-slot machine, “Come over to the desk then,” sald Harrls. “I'll take {it.” “I've got the money,” said McCarthy. *Are you sure that you can cover it?" “Well, I've got only $000 worth of Partridge money, but I can send out for some." “Will you give 614?" asked McCarthy, hedging. “I'll give you even money,” —_— j pary Coast.” Clarence L'Estelle’s house, 506 Bush street, is sald to have been a favorite number for the Ruef gang. The Ruefites have been notoriously busy in Chinatown and among the purlieus of indecency. Detectives in the fusion com- mittee's employ have watched the Ruef captains day and night for weeks. At the fusion headquarters hundreds of type- written reports have been filed which tell the story of the plot to steal the elec- tion. These secret service agents gave much effort to the discovery of condl- tions in Chinatown, the Barbary Coast and the tenderloin, because in these un- wholesame districts the Schmitz forces have concentrated much of their effort. The maximum penalty for perjury is five years’ imprisonment in a State peni- tentlary. The Republican-Democra! campaign committee officially announced yesterday that the demand would be sald Har- made in every conviction of a “stuffer | that the full punishment be imposed.

The crowd burst into a roar of laughter and “Pin Head" grabbed his $26 50 and hurried over to the Pup, where he told his troubles to Ruef. Schmitz money was more than eoy along the line last night.
