The parade was under the aus pices of the Building Trades council and was designed to be a great dis play for the purpose of Influencing the election result. It fell, far short of Its expected proportions and irobably did more harm than good. It Is estimated that not more than 7000 persons marched in the parade whereas the organizers of the demonstration had Pnn™. d aU the Wfl y from IB .°oo to oU,UOU. Of the 7000 who actually marched cer tainly not more than 4500 were voters.

He said: "I am absolutely confident of Partridge's election. • I have watched the fight closely . and know there Is deep dissatisfaction among the men who work with the methods of the Schmitz campaigners. They are dissatisfied because the ticket was dictated by Ruef and the laboring men were not consulted. There is an unusually heavy registration and there will be a large vote, which means a large vote for Partridge." Secretary Berger of the Schmitz cam paign committee said he felt confident Schmitz would be elected and that his majority would be in the neighborhood of 8000 and it would not fall below 4000. He said: "There will be little scratching on the Schmitz ticket and consequently I believe the entire labor union ticket will be elected.
