Committee From Liquor Dealers' As
sociation Will Present Its Be-'
- - port at Meeting To-Day.
The committee recently appointed from
the California Protective Association, the
liquor dealers' organization, to interview
candidates and recommend indorsements,
will present its report at a general meet
ing of the association this afternoon at 2
o'clock at B'nai B'rlth Hall. The com
mittee will recommend that no I Indorse
ment Of a candidate for Mayor be made.
The recommendations for indorsements
of Supervisors will make up a mixed tick
et, though Democratic candidates will be
in the majority.
Another Tobin Club.
A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Fortieth Assembly. District Democratic
Club was held at Franklin Hall last even
ing. - .
The meetinsrwas called to order by M.
C. Hassett and by resolution the name
of tho club was changed" to -the Tobin
Club of the Fortieth Assembly District.
The following officers were elected: :
President, George A. Connolly; secre
tary, John T. Bennett; treasurer, James
RIordan. . ' -. .;
A campaign committee -consisting of
twenty members, one from each precinct
in the district, was appointed . by the
chair. Addresses were made by M. C.
Hassett,, Sidney M. Van Wyck, D. S.
Hirshberg, Joseph Rothschild, J. B. Mc-
Intyre and others.
In the ' Bulletin of to-day wo observe edito -

years ago glorified a Democratic i candidate.

Under the captions ""Workingmen should vote
for Wells." • "Unions should not support Labor
party," "Wells is the only representative can
didate" and "Wells as Auditor," we are told
that there is a man . before the people whose
greatest struggle in life has been the up
lifting, the ennobling, the protection and care
of his fellow man, whose chief desire has been
to obtain for his -.fellow workers maximum
wages and minimum hours. Such merit might
fall as music upon receptive ears who know
not to - the -contrary, but to the wise i it is
farcical.
Mr. Wells was a carpenter and used a
hammer, and not the least of his faults is
the fact that he has carried that hammer ever
since he 'has ceased carpentering. That ham
mer is and has been for labor, and he has used
it for thirty years and has not let an oppor
tunity slip by. j
He with four others, in 1869, controlled the
entire planing mill Industry of San Francisco.
In 1867 the eight-hour day went into effect and
remained • so until 1869. Mr. Wells | got out
his little hammer, and being master 'of the
situation, destroyed ; the eight-hour day by in
creasing the time of mill hands from eight
to ten hours. Was this friendship to labor? \u25a0
After thirty years the Building Trades Coun
cil undertook the re-establlshmtnt of the eight
hour day, and after a long-drawn-out i contro
versy succeeded, but not until. Mr. Wells and
his little hammer once more took action. This
occurred on August 24, 1900. 'when without ap
parent interest or reason, uninvited by' either
side, he again opposed labor, attempted' to
show the inadvisability of the eight-hour day,
predicted all sorts of disaster in case of lte
adoption and strenuously, decried the • wisdom
of such a move. Was this friendship to labor?
It was neither friendshlD to labor nor an ex
hibition of business Judgment, for If Mr. Wells
is caDable of knowing anything, he ought to
know, the mill business. But subsequent events
have oroven that he did not even know that,
as the mill owner and mill worker are to-day
enjoying more harmonious and : profitable rela-'
tions than ever before, and eight hours' labor,
constitutes a day's work. I '. »-

blandishments, claims and^ promises of a paid

The following communication from a
member of the Brotherhood of Carpen
ters and Joiners of America discusses
phases of the campaign that have not
previously received attention:
To the Editor: It is extremely annoying and
sickening as each campaign occurs to read in
the daily prints the paid eulogies of this or
that candidate, particularly so when they ap
pear in capers that have no politics and are.
with the side which pays the highest figure. '
It is equally sickening to witness the syco
phantic efforts of such journals when the sop
is extended to the laboring element, and the
merits' of a candidate. In statements true or
false, are paraded with a view to attract su]%
port. • -• . \u25a0 '\u25a0 .' \u25a0. " •
- I have yet to call to mind the first candidate
for Dubllc office of Importance who has not
been the lifelong friend of labor — who did not
weep when labor wect and burst with Joy at
labor's success, when in reality labor was. a
nightmare, a thing abhorrent, a- contact to be
studiously avoided, if DCS3lble, without detri
ment. Such is the position of the usual can
didate and Buch is the usual course of the
newspaper which makes his fight. Such truck
ling, sniveling, hypocritical conduct in candi
dates is nauseating; in newspapers intolerable.
The present campaign is no exception to the
rule and the same hackneyed, time-worn tac
tics again appear in a new dress. The Bulle
tin presents its candidate and is with breathless
anxiety engaged in teaching us, the working
people of San Francisco, how Asa R. Wells
used the hammer (as a carpenter), what he has
done for labor, how sorry he is that it was his
misfortune not to "have been able to have done
more, and now. that he is incidentally looking
for a few votes, what he will do in the future.
From Mr. Wells' standpoint, and what he
would have labor believe, there ia nothing in
the city but labor; it is the alpha and omega
of the situation. Mercantile, capitalistic and
professional interests are a. mere bagatelle and
not- ,worthy of particular consideration, but
labor— that's the important question. .
- It is thus that the intelligence of the Ameri
can workmen is severely taxed to ascertain
whether he is considered a natural born fool
and is supposed to swallow hook, bait and all.
or credited with having some sense and an
ability to Judge as to the integrity, compe
tency and qualifications of those who are to be
intrusted with the management of municipal
affaire. : .
Member of Carpenters' Union Tells
How the Candidate Has Used
His Hammer.
SAYS WELLS IS NOT . i
A FRIEND TO LABOR
The gentleman. asks me If my In
terests are yours. They are. 1 rep
resent interests ivhicli every man in
this audience has helped to create.
Gentlemen, the people I urn proud
to call mine commenced their life in
this land in ' mm humble circum
stances as any man in this hall. By
their efforts they have risen to a.
condition of comparative wealth.
Their prosperity I have shared. But,
gentlemen, I have never forsotten
that my father entered this city a.
poor man. I have never forgotten
that my father worked on the
streets of this city, and any man
that says I am not the friend of the
worklngman, lies.
I desire and I hope 'that the spirit of my
address to you this evening will put me .on
entire equality with every man irt this audi
ence. I come not as a man with his eye on
some future political goal, but. as a man with
the interests of San Francisco at heart, a
man interested in the welfare of every citizen,
no matter what his condition in life may be.
X hope I represent no one but the people in
this light, and if elected I know I will repre
sent in the City Hall no one but the people.
I do not want you gentlemen to look upon me
as I have been represented. I am. one of you.
My sympathies are all with you. Your inter
ests are my interests.
Here the speaker was interrupted in
sarcastic tone by the query:
"Do you really mean to tell us, Mr.
Tobin, that your interests and ours are
the same?" .
WHEN Joseph S. Tobin mounted
the platform at . McGrath's
Hall, 530 Third street, last
night a handful of lusty
, lunged • young men tried ' to
stampede the meeting with the slogan of
"Three cheers for Schmitz!" The meeting
refused to stampede and- Joseph S. Tobin,
when he left the hall, left behind him a
room full of friends cheering to the echo
the candidate for Mayor. \u25a0,'-',
Tobin addressed two meetings last even-
Ing and In both cases confirmed the good
impression he has so far made wherever
he has appeared. After leaving McGrath's
Hall he went to Masonic Hall at Four
teenth street and Railroad avenue, where
a crowded auditorium awaited him and
where he was given an enthusiastic re
ception.
His address at McGrath's Hall was in
part as fellow's: \u25a0 -
NO INDORSEMENT FOE,
MAYORALTY CANDIDATE
I am not to be driven from the issues of
this campaign by anything that may be said
about 'me personally. These things will take
care of \u25a0 themselves later. I am no Sancho
Panza.to be tilting at windmills, when there
are live animals In the land more worthy of
my steel.
The speaker again referred to the "Wells
Interview and after reviewing the issues
of the campaign, said:
There was another large audience await
ing Tobin at Masonic Hall. His address
was in part as follows:
I shall make it my purpose, If I get into
office, to see that the present City and County
Hospital, a' place unfit for over-night accom
modation for the poorest of a poverty-stricken
land, is replaced by a modern, practicable,
humane hospital. The present institution is
a dishonor and a crime.
Tobin i then referred to • the interview
\u25a0with Asa R. Wells published in yester
day's Call, in which the Republican can
didate for Mayor explains that not only
did the Republican leaders agree with the
position he had taken in demanding the
placing upon the Republican Supervlsoral
ticket of one candidate of his own se
lection, but that Mr.- Herrin had con
sented to a compliance with his request.
Mr. Tobin said:
Who Ir Mr Herrin? What Is Mr. Herrin
that he should be quoted In this manner by the
head of the Republican ticket? You know who
Herrin. is. You .know what he represents. 'The
head of the Republican ticket tells us that Mr.
Herrin 'gave his consent to a change in that
ticket — Mr. : Herrin, .who represent* debauchery
in public-life, .-who represents the corrupters of
legislators, the purchasers of Supervisors;' Mr.
Herrin, who represents corporations that must
buy franchises from the city, corporations- that
\u25a0ell water and gas to the city. • .
Why does the head of the Republican ticket
quote Mr. Herrin? Because Mr. Herrin repre
sents the supreme ' office-giving powers. Be
cause Mr. Herrin gave him and all the others
on the Republican ticket the nominations they
hold. No man taking a nomination on. the Re
publican ticket can consistently take it with
the intention of doing his duty- toward the
people. No man can serve two masters.
I accepted this nomination not because I
sought political prererment, but because 1
deemed It my duty, because I was a young
man and because circumstances "placed me in
a position 'to devote my time to the things
that will tend to the good of San Francisco./
I believe that no man that works as I know
you work, as I have seen you work, in the
foundry and in the ship's hold, should work
more than eight hours.
-\u25a0--It ..has -been definitely established that
Schmitz will not secure. the solid vote of
the Musicians' Union, of which he 'is
president. Several members of that body
said yesterday that Schmitz would not
get more, than twenty "votes from the
members of his own organization. They
declare that while no open - hostility I has
manifested itself against him in the union
there is a, deep V feeling- that he is .not
qualified to serve the city as Mayor and
that his election would be c a serious blow
to -the industrial advancement of the city.
The ; hostility shown • by -,the , Building
Trades Council, to the labor ticket ' has
set i-the- laboring. men of the city think
ing. The hostile I attitude of the official
organ of "the organized workers toward'
the :\u25a0 labor ticket as a .whole > Is having \u25a0&
weighty ..effect .upon workingmen of all
classes: .' This opposition among the very
interests « in which Schmitz expected to
find solid support . is proving a serious
blow to the . labor candidates. Efforts are
being . made to .. harmonize the conflicting
The Schmitz . managers are rounding
up. the unions and bringing pressure to
bear upon their partisans in those bodies
to cause resolutions to be adopted In
dorsing the entire labor ticket. Up to
date only three unions have given the de
sired Indorsement, and the greatest dif
ficulty is being experienced in whipping
the labor organizations into line. .
I The personnel of the labor candidates
appears : to be the great stumblins-block
in the .matter of general indorsements.
Many union - men who favored the elec
tion of labor candidates changed their
minds when they caught a glimpse of the
majority, of the Supervisorial nominees.
There was little to • inspire union • voters
with confidence in many of their candi
dates,'and the result is an ever increas
ing feeling that the interest of San.Fran
cisco, could in no way .be subserved = by
their election. •';.'\u25a0_\u25a0 --\u25a0 v
The division of sentiment among: \u25a0 the
union 5 ranks relative to the candidacy of
Schmitz f6r' Mayor is growing more pro
nounced as' the; campaign progresses.
Men who were ardent supporters of the
labor ticket a) few days ago are now
switching to ; Tobin on the general. theory
that as Schmitz cannot possibly win the
coveted prize one vote for Tobin prac
tically means a loss of two to "Wells.

DISSENSION IN LABOR
PARTY BANKS GRO\5rilTO
Most of us would rather watch others
than work ourselves.
The Labor party candidates addressed
three poorly attended meetings last night,
the first at Bear Hall, corner of Post and
Fillmore streets, the second at a hall at
Pacific and Leaven worth streets and the
third at the Alcazar building. Little In
terest in the speechmaking was manifest
ed and the applause was quite perfunc
tory. \u25a0-' -
At Bear Hall a crowd consisting of the
most part of boys In search of election
cards greeted Schmitz and his bodyguard
of office seekers. The meeting was pre
sided over by L. M. Manzer, who said
that he favored the Labor party because
he wanted equal rights for all and special
privileges for none. When Schmitz ar
rived the band played "We "Won't Go
Home Till Morning," and the small crowd,
some of whom were under the impression
that it was a Democratic meeting, yelled
for Tobin. When somebody suggested
three cheers for "Fatty" Maher they were
given with a. will.
Schmitz regaled his audience with a
memorized speech,, in which he repeated
some of Abraham Lincoln's sayings and
told what he would do when he was elect
ed Mayor. He had his - usual fling at
Tobin's polo pony, but the audience did
not appreciate the humor of his observa
tion. When he said that the meanest
ditchdigger might be assured of a welt
come at his hands after election a»mur
mur of applause broke the deep silence.
Schmitz found fault with the platforms
of all the'parties save that of the Labor
party and wound up with the statement
that he was for the man before the dol
lar every time. Other speakers at the
meeting were William- J. Kenney, W. D.
Getchell and-J. T. McEntee.
A small audience greeted the labor
standard-bearer at Pacific and Leaven
worth streets. Schmitz repeated his speech
here and his utterances aroused no more
enthusiasm than at the previous meeting.
The speakers at this place were Dr. ! J.
JT.f Dillon, Thomas Gallagher, Thomas
Eagan, P. H. Coyle and J. J. Daughney.
The .shoe clerks met In the Alcazar
building and after the executive session a
smoker was given- to the members. A
set programme was rendered, one of the
events being a six-round glove contest
between two members. Schmitz and his
contingent arrived while this was in pro
gress and his entrance was in . conse
'quence quite flat. The announcement that
Police Judge Fritz was in the hall created
a sensation and that official was given an
ovation. Subsequently Schmitz was intro
duced and he took advantage of the oc
casion to throw more bouquets at himself.
Several addresses by labor, candidates
were delivered. : .' » .

interests, but the greater the effort the
wider grows. the breach. -
The candidacy of Police Judge Alfred
J. Fritz for re-election is regarded with
general ' satisfaction, and' he is receiving
the support of all classes, \u25a0 irrespective of
party affiliation. His conscientious and
fearless official course during the last two
years has won for him - the admiration
and . respect -of the, public generally, so
that the support he is -receiving warrants
the prediction on the part of his workers
that he will distance his opponents by
far. - --• \u25a0..-.,.
The friends of Harry Baehr. Republi
can candidate \u25a0 for Auditor, are •• making
an excellent fight for their candidate.
Baehr' s popularity is winning for him
the support of men upon whose aid he
had at no time counted. An army of
faithful workers Is making his canvass,
and on all sides assurances of fealty are
repeatedly expressed.
I was born in the south of Ireland and was
resident in Liverpool when I decided to como
to America. When I reached San Francisco,
thirty years ago, I found that my countrymen
were running things In this country anyway
and my assistance was scarcely needed. Here
In San Francisco an Irish policeman, McCop
pin, was Mayor.
A physician knows no country. The profes
sion is destined to promote the brotherhood of
man, and to break down national prejudices.
In my opinion there is no more justification
for the existence of' national boundary lines, in
this age of ready communication | and rapid
transit, than there was for the existence of
clans, in medieval times. .The nation is the
clan of modern times. - -
So, although I have lived here thirty years,
I am still a subject of Great Britain largely,
I presume, because thinking as I did about
such things I. was too lazy to take out naturali
zation papers. But. I am a taxpayer. In Eng
lish municipalities there is more freedom in
that respect — whatever your nationality you
vote if you are a property holder. Property
qualification? Yes, that is true. You can't
vote unless you have property.
My interest in this is not political. I have
never concerned myself with political ques
tions and am not now, but when I consider it
iny duty to speak out I do not shirk it. .
Dr.. Buckley's sudden Interest in affairs
of government astounds those of his ac
quaintances who know of his prejudices
against national boundaries and devotion
to country." The average man of this day,
when patriotism is still judged a virtue,
is not able to associate indifference to na
tional welfare with unselfish interest in
municipal affairs or to see how these ap
"parently antagonistic states of mind can
be harmonized. Dr. Buckley explained to
a Call reporter last night why he had
lived thirty years in America and had re
mained a subject of Great Britain. He
said:
prominence and financial afflu
ence here without deeming it desirable
to become a citizen of the country which
smiled so graciously upon him, has taken
it upon himself to. advise the people of
San Francisco in municipal affairs. He
opposes the candidacy of Joseph S. Tobin
for , Mayor and in communications to an
afternoon paper warns the people that
if they expect honesty or devotion to their
interests in case of Tobin's election they
are hugging a delusion.

THERE will be no amalgamation
of the retail and wholesale liquor
dealers' . associations, and there
wifl be no indorsement of . Wells
by either. Tobin or Schmitz will
be indorsed by the liquor merchants, if
any indorsement whatever is ..given, but
the Indications are that no candidate
for Mayor will • be indorsed. The
trap to catch the retailers and bring them
into the wholesale organization was set
by John Lynch, Collector of Internal
Revenue. The retailers and the whole
salers will not stand for the Lynch pro
gramme. They know Wells' record on
the license question and that is enough
for them. All the Lynches in creation
cannot change .their purpose to ' protect
themselves.
Johnny Lynch, whose term as a Federal
officeholder Is drawing, near the end, Is
again neglecting his official duties to
meddle in affairs that chiefly concern
people who pay taxes to support our mu
nicipal government. Lynch is not a resi
dent of San Francisco, and it is none or
his business how the liquor dealers vote.
If he goes too far in his implied threats
to make it uncomfortable for dealers who
will not take the programme he may
get what he most deserves. It may
gratify representatives of the liquor trade
to know that Senator Perkins has agreed
with Senator, Bard to take up the sub
ject of the appointment of Lynch's suc
cessor as soon as Congress meets. Sena
tor-Bard favors Stephen Kelly of San
Bernardino . and Senator Perkins agrees
to indorse any good man recommended
by his colleague in the Senate.
Lynch Has Tricky Ways.
Lynch is noted for his readiness to
do the nastiest kind of politics. iHe will
go to the. limit of using forged tele
grams. At Sacramento he produced a
bogus telegram, representing it to be a
genuine message from Senator Perkins
requesting members of the Legislature to
vote for D. M. Burns for United States
Senator. Even Senator Perkins, whose
forbearance is remarkable, and whos«
desire to pleass everybody amounts <o
enthusiasm, asserts that the utterance oS
a forged telegram is a dishonorable ace.
Lynch will not scruple to use any sort
of tactics to catch the liquor dealers off
their guard, but his cunning will not pro
cure the indorsement which he is schem
ing to obtain. This subject is already sec
tied eo far as Wells is concerned, for that
candidate is not on the list of those to
be considered. The Society for the Pro
tection and Care of Aged and Indiscreet
Talkers may indorse Mr. Wells and re
ceive a testimonial from Mr. Cobb at the
Grand Hotel,, but Indorsements elsewhere
will be few and far between. ;
Lynch's official position does not dis
turb the liquor men, as they know that
he will be removed from office in Decem
ber next. \u25a0 • «
Dr. -C. F.' Buckles', a stickler for royal
ty, a subject of King Edward the Sev
enth and a standing candidate for direc
tor of the Hibernia Bank, is meddling in
affairs that do not concern the King. Dr.
Buckley, whose character as a man and
whose attainments as a physician are
not questioned, in the local campaign ad
vises the people against supporting Mr.
Tobin. Dr. Buckley is not registered. He
is not a citizen of this country. He has
no aspiration for American citizenship.
He dwells in this country because he can
do better here than in England. Perhaps
he wants to be near the Hibernia Bank
in case his long cherished wish to be a
director of that institution should be
gratified. Before projecting himself any
further into the politics of San Francisco
he should advise with the British Consul
and get the consent of his Majesty, King
Edward, to chip In.
Tobin Easily Wins a Bet.
Mr. Tobin seems to be good enough for
the people, of San Francisco. The Native
Sons entertain a high regard for him. He
was born in California and loves the land
of his birth. It is true that he is not as
old as Mr. Wells or as handsome as Mr.
Schmitz. but he has a mind of his own
and expresses It in a style that wins the
high regard of his fellow citizens. He
may never be able to match Mr. Schmitz
for pulchritude or acquire Mr. Wells' fa
cility for wobbling, but he is in tha
race for Mayor, with every prospect of
success. Dr. Buckley should, gaze* on Asa
R. Wells and see the danger of talking
through one's hat. Cobb cannot protect
everybody from the indiscretion of rush
ing Into print. All his time is now taken
up in guarding against further outbreak
on the part of Mr. Wells. . .
Tobin is surely a winner. He won a bet
so readily at the Palace Grill yesterday
that those who believe In auguries are
convinced that he will win all alongr.
He happened to meet a representative of
the Examiner, to whom he remarked that
he did not make the statement in the Pal
ace barber shop that the Toblns would
not patronize the establishment if the Ex
aminer was not excluded. 1 The newspaper
man offered to bet $25 to $5 that the paper
published just what Mr. Tobin said. The
wager was accepted and the principals
went to the barber shop for a decision.
When the facts were elicited the Exam
iner man said: "Mr. Tobin, I will send
you my check for twenty-five dollars."
Mr. Tobin replied: "Never mind the
check. Give it to charity."

TOR LOSS OF PROPERTY
Claims Relatives Encroached on His
Lot in Erecting a Fence Fre-
quently Blown Down.
The trial of the suit instituted by Henry
Wegener to quiet title to a lot at the cor-
ner of Hyde and Lombard streets was
heard in Judge Graham's court yesterday.
The defendants are Frederick Wegener,
Mrs. Silva and Mrs. Leisen, a brother and
•two sisters of the plaintiff. The property
in question consists of two lots, which
•were deeded to them by their father,
\u25a0Christian Wegener, in 1873.
Henry Wegener testified yesterday that
his brother and sisters were in possession
of ten feet of his property and that .they
got it with the aid of the high winds that
blow in that neighborhood. He said that
the fence dividing the property was fre-
quently blown down and that every time
It was rebuilt the defendants built it on
•his territory, until it stood ten feet from
its original position.
