Regular Republican League Is Confident of Defeating the Herrin Machine at the Primary Election on Tuesday
of the 10 delegates and probably the
entire 10.
The thirty-sixth is entitled to but
three delegates, but the opposition
there to the reform ticket is divided
too. The league expects to elect its
strong ticket over Eggers and Maes
tretti, who are battling tooth and toe
nail. The iight in the thirty-sixth is
characterized by many of the tactics
that have won Eggers some unpleas
ant notoriety in former campaigns.
Eggers wants to be sheriff. He has
suffered from that complaint before.
There also have been in former cam
paigns the same complaints of col^
onization in the thirty-sixth, that have
recently been called to the attention
of the district attorney. On Eggers'
ticket are Thomas F. Dunn, ex-jus
tice of the peace, but in ; justice to
Dunn, he is not an Eggers sort of
man; Thomas J. Murphy, bar tender
at a Brady street resort, which is
oriVof the" places on the suspected
colonization memorandum, and Dan
iel F. Tattenham.
But Eggers' ticket and Eggers' cir
cular letters are entirely different, in
character. He has mailed to repub
licans throughout the -district letters
which purport to be signed .by the
executive committee of his paper re
publican club. This alleged execu
tive committee, which includes the
names of Walter S. Pierce, W. Gran
ischer. Arthur Clack and other repre
sentative republicans, is made to in
dorse the ticket framed by Eggers.
Pierce, Granischer and Clack were
not aware of the honors' thrust upon
them by Eggers until copies of the
circular" letters came into their hands.
They are regular republican league
men. They have in no wise co-oper
ated with" Eggers, did not indorse
and will not support the Eggers'
ticket and have not been associated
with any Eggers club.
BATTLE ROYAL EXPECTED
The thirty-seventh district will be
the scene of the battle royal. New
berry estimates that there will prob
ably be more than 3.500 republican
votes polled in the banner republican
district, which is entitled to 20 dele 1 !
gates. The fight is squarely between
the Arthur Fisk-H. M. Owens ma
chine ticket and the league ticket. '\u0084---
Fisk lost the district. a year ago hy
ISO. ' He scoured fhe district and
managed to poll a total of 534 fo^f
his ticket. He .will, as a matter course,
with the greatly increased vote and
the really good names he has on his
ticket, greatly exceed that" total on
Tuesday, but if anything like 3,500
votes are polled, the anti-machine
ticket will be elected, \\.-r. ~-'"«y ; : .
\Vith reference to the fight in the
thirty-seventh, Attorney. H. M.
Owens, associated with Fisk in fram
ing the machine ticket and a candi
date en it. take issue with a, statement
made in The Call over my signature.
He has written a letter to The Call
asking for- a denial of the statement
that he was an attorney for Con
tractor Blanchard, who declared that
he was held up by Maestretti. . Owens,
does not deny in the same-unequivo
cal manner that he did offer a', trade
with the R\-anites and that the answer
in the suit brought • by Maestretti
against Blanchard was to furnish the
basis of the trade. He says that the
suggestion that he offered to make a
trade was absurd. In the same- letter
he says that the statement that he
was Blauchard's attorney :\u25a0 "was- false.
Owens is correct. He is entitled 'to
an~ explanation;.' "He was :not '.Blanch*
ard's attorney. The suggestion of a
trade was absurd, but absurd because
it was not accepted.
OWENS MAKES. PROMISES
Owens did not tell the' Ryanites he
was counsel for Blanchard. They say
that he did tell a party of them,
which included Daniel A. Ryan, F. H.
Dam and E. T. McMurray, .that he
was the "intimate friend of Blanch
ard's attorney and that he could get
that attorney to do anything he
pleased.
These men tell me that Owens,
without any solicitation on their
part, told them that he would have
Blanchard's answer to • Maestretti's
slander charge . held until the time
when its publication would do Maes
tretti the most harm. The answer has
not been filed yet. Possibly Owens*
influence over Blanchard's attorney
was no greater than that which he
exercised over the boodling super
visors for whom he acted as im
munity agent. He advised. them that
they were' not bound by their im
munity agreements to resign, but
their successors are in office.
In the thirty-eighth, where 16 dele
gates will be elected, there are two
tickets opposed to the Ryanites, who
confidently expect to win in conse
quence of the division of the ma
chine forces. Senator Eddie Wolfe,
assisted by Max Goldberg, Jesse
Mayer an£ John J, Conlan, picked the
committee ticket. • Maestretti is''th«
genius of the other. • r.^. r .; %
In the ' thirty-ninth.
own, ihe datto .of 'the . 'ioVcceigns
claims he will elect the, 18 delegates,
by a ; maTgin ; of somethr^g . like "1 ,p^Q
votes. Tbe Ryan leaguer's : work, in
this district has. been even more sys
tematic and: thorough than in the
thirty-seventh and' fortieth,' and its'
leaders believe they will put Macs :
trtiti ..out of the boss business on
Tuesday.,
MARKS AGAINST MACHINE.
; A wrangle between rival bosses in
the committee wing has apparently
put the regular mach|ne ticket out of
the running in the. fortieth. Jesse
Marks, who for nearly 20 years had
been the dictator of republican nomi
nations in the district; is opposed tb
the ticket- framed by Assemblyman
Henry Thompson. Marks has a
grievance — more, he believes" that he
is the victim i of -the basest kind of
political ingratitude. 'Wneh Marks
was the dictator of the district he
nominated Thompson for the assem
bly. .Thompson was elected,, and now
Marks saj ; s. the man whom he made
refused to permit him to name ajair
share'of the candidates, on. the'ma
chine-ticket. . Marks is -not" an ad
mirer .of Ryan, nor has he been for
the matter of 10 of 12 years.; He put
Ryan on. a state ; delegation 7a .decade
ago,, and the novice in. politics swung
the delegation to Angelotti against
Marks, but the . newer grievance
against Thompson is the stronger.
Marks is not in, the Ryan camp, vbut
he has told.hjs friends that every vote
in the fortieth that he • can "control
will be cast for the, Ryan ticket. This
makes the ticket beaded by- Albert
Castle look like. third money, with the
Ryan league; ticket en/easy winner.
Tveitmoe Indignantly Denies That
He Made Overtures to Casey
I Declares "Regular Union Labor^ jTicket"
Will Be Elected in Its 'Entirety * S
Super\ f isor O. A. Tveitmoe says that no amount of money, would
cause him to consent to the use of his name as a; delegate candidate
on the Casey-Sweeney independent union labor ticket in, thec'thirty
third district.- He-ako denies that he made any overtures for !a. place
on the ticket which the independents declare will walk- away jvjth
the regular ticket in -Tveitmoe's district., j. : ; ,'\u0084 ~\ i :" . .V '['/'
Tveitmoe, in a signed statement given The Call, says'that Tfi-his
name-appears on-an-y-but the regular umomlabor. ticket in- the^thiFty
third district it has been stolen to bolster,rupa-weak and -pretended
cause. The Casey-Sweeney men say that they know of no union*
labor. political movement offering cash bonuses for. the- use of Tveit-.
moc",s name as a delegate candidate, and that Joe Sullivan; leader
of -their forces in- the thirty-third, has given Tveitmoe pie^assur
ance that his ii ame will not be stolen tp holster up the.CaseytickeJ.,
They say also that Tveitmoe was again hunting Sullivan- yesterday.
Snper\'isor Tveitmoe gave the follow- «
ing statement to the Call- yesterday:
j "The facts in the.^tory appearing in
i the Sunday Call, page 21, are errone- :
I ous.misleading and absolutely without
any foundation, as far as my name is
i involved. I have made no overtures to
j the so-called Casey opposition and
(there is no. amount of money that
could induce me to go. on any of Casey's
tickets.' .
"If my name is on any tickets in the
thirty-third district, outside of the
regular union labors ticket, it is there
without my consent and because some
body has stolen it in order to bolster
up a weak and pretended cause.

life and whatever "ability and energy

Ryan Believes Herrin
Is Doomed to Defeat
Predicts Big Victory for
' X \ tedgue Ticket
Daniel A. Ryan, president of the
regular republican league, believes that
tomorrow's primaries will result In a
sweeping victory of the republicans
who are opposed to Herrlnlsm and boas
rule. .";*:.-..* • .
In a statement given tb The Call last
night Ryan pointed to the character
of the' men on the antibo&s delegate
tickets p.B Indicative pf the determina
tion of the great" body' of republicans
lo fr«(j San Francisco from the po-
UtjpaJ -serfdom under., which it has
groaned for, years. Ryan safd that
three- -of ithe 5 primary objects for which
the leaga« .was organized had been ac
complished. It secured .an honest ap
portionment of the delegates to' the re
publican convention. It presented dele
gates, who, if elected, would truly rep
resent the people who owed no
allegiance to He-rrin .or 'any other boss.
It -impressed upon the \u25a0> people of. San
Francisco the .honesty of, its purposes."
HfitbeHcvM in-, consequence of these
accomplishm*nts a•. popular lndorse
nient 'WfrulaV bs given the' league to
morrow> - 'His statement follows:
?San Francisco, Augustl2, 1907.
"All sign? indicat* a sweeping repub
lican victory for the people — as op
posed to the bosses and corporation
control and- domination — at . the . pri
maries tomorrow.. Neve,r In the. his
tory-of republican.. primary politics In
San Francisco has a more. representa
tive-class or citizens been! put forward

work of the. league Jias been:
"First: to "obtain "an honest appor
tionment of delegates. .
"Second :. To secure \ delegates that
will .truly represent .the peopje.
' "Third: To Impress the people wltb,

"In all this it has succeeded and vic

The intelligence of the people of the

ninth and the fortieth districts. ?- •,
"The federation: is going to capture

when seen at his skating rink last
night. "The thirty-ninth is sure and
we would not be , in the' nght in the

win. The peopje out in the thirty-ninth
are too bright to vote any other way
than ours. ..They are too intelligent to

to deny that report," he said; "the peo

chosen on the opposition, ticket, but the
complexion of the convention will be
that of our ticket. ' •

Independent Labor leaders Issue a
Statement to Union Voters
Casey-Sweeney Faction Warns Them of
Danger of Upholding Committee
,\u25a0 Casey-Sweeney independent union labor ticket, complete
save for the fortieth and forty-first districts; was given to the public
yesterday. - THe. ticket was accompanied by a comprehensive state
ment of the conditions- which the antigraftv committee delegates
were combating and which," if elected, they have promised to correct.
The independent leaders made their issue squarely with the reg
ular committee, which they described as. the Riief Committee. -They
declared that" if the" delegate 'tickets presented by the county commit
tee were elected the union "labor part)? would remain in the hands
of the. men. who put Gallagher, Boxton and the other boodlers in
office. ' ' : ' ";\u25a0/- • ', \u25a0' *i-".. \u25a0 .• .'- :,. '\u25a0'
-They cairiipbn the workingmen of; San Francisco to save their
party from its wretched fate and to prove by their, ballots that the
union people of -Sari Frah'dsco are not. bad, citizens. ....

The following addr-ass, to^- the voters
of San. Francisco waa glverf'uut by the
union; labor antigraft committee last
night:
.To San S Frtndsco ' Union Workingmen and
Friends of the, Labor Union*: You knQK. with
out any. need of \u25a0word* from us.' that the union
labor .party ha» for a lonjr tflne been run by
politicians who have . cared nothing about the
good . rlamo of unionism and who /hare not teen
fair 'examples of our. workingmen — '
You know, that these politicians ana
office hunters bare done • great deal to hurt
the i unions, on the inside and also a great deal
to dtsgran 'the* name union labor In politics.
\u25a0 ..You know, furthermore, that they have nomi
nated . bad men ' for public offices . and that the
men they. hate "put to the front hate committed
crimes which bar* given San Francisco a black
i reputation everywhere ' and which have snam^d
the union labor party of this town before all
.the world. \- - . -
These politician? who as the old Ruef wntf
bare done so much to harm, shame and humiliate
the union people of this city and to Injure the
town itself ought to.be aiding their beads from
the eight- of decent . San Franciscans; but, in
stead" of that they ''are doing all they can to
ke.ep : rtjfht •on in I power \u25a0 and are - braxenly and
daringly using their- old methods for keeping
in ihe saddle. "• r \ . ' . ;
They are -working, under the ..name, "county
committee of the union labor party." Ruef put
them 'on' that committee. two years aeo, and the
people have had no chance • slnoe then to get
rid of them or to put our; beat union men on the
committee; •> \u0084 ,•\u25a0 . t \u25a0 .'
• On Tuesday there will be a primary election.
.Ihen" there 'will be elected, the act of men who
will, be -the members of the next convention of
tti union 'tabor party: and that convention will
puC Op s»;tlcfcet.'for l the-. municipal- election in
which city officers from mayor down will_ be
'chosen. '
\u0084 The old Ruef county committee has named' a
ticket ! for every assembly district. If the
county, committee tickets are successful the
union labor party will, of course, stay In the
hands of the very men who gave us Gallagher,
Boxton and the other boodlers, \u25a0 for the county
committee is made up of them.
i I >'CRA»CE TO SAVE LABOR PARTY
<l But you= will have a square chance to save the
inlon- labor party from so wretched a fate,', txr
-ctiuae/'llierq ba"» been a quiet uprising of many
pf, the best .-" Union ' workingmen of, the districts.
•These men want to wipe out the stain the poll
lletwls. and; the. .graftets have put. upon the
party. They want to show, the world we arc
not the -bad 'citizens we have been represented
to t>e— we San FrancUeo union people — but good
citizens, standing for decency, loving our city
and - Jealous of the reputation of our unions.
Jhey have put up tickets for Tuesday's, primary
election,* and In every case their. tlckef.., are,- In
opposition: to the Ruef countr committee tickets.,
. we earnestly hope you will see. the wisdom of
electing the .tickets .the- workingraen i'*?e them
seires- put ,vp:- These tickets.. .n»nven by the
sound 'union men -of all crafts, have come to be
spoken of in the -newspapers v as. the, Casey-
Sweeney" tldkets. The success of, these Casey-
Sweeney tickets on Tuesday will mean the da-,
feat of . the . men who Have, been dragging the
union . labor . party in the - mire. It will also
mean that the next union -labor, convention .will
be free from boss i rule, .free from professional
politicians, free from boodlera. and that It wlu
be representative of honest workers.
At • every, election place in th« city on the
13th -the, Casey -Sweeney tickets will be handed
ouU4^r«llljvlio wish them. We have not bad
politicians - and corporations back of us., and for
Jh.at re«»bn.we have not had money with which
.tq send out > tickets in great quantities or to
fldod-the. town with printed appeals. But every
-\u25a0voter wUp wishes to stand with us- should be
careful . to \u25a0 get one of our "pasterV at the
polls. -\u0084 -\u25a0\u25a0-/\u25a0\u25a0 , \u25a0- -: -'".m'
r *". APPEAL TO HONEST VOTEBB
\u0084 In. "other \u25a0 primary times many good citizens
have. bitterly complained that nothing had been
done to give . them . an opportunity to register
their votes against thn politicians running the
cnJon labor 'party. They cannot . complain this
-tlrotf. .We iiave. girep them the opportunity to
cast; their ballots for a new. deal and a square
deal, -. It is" now^ possible, for every union man
and evetytrlend- of the unions to choose be
tween'the professional politicians and the honest.
worklnjrniMj- on "Tuesday.- We trust that no cltlr
ten wbo'hu, the right, to vote in the prtmary
flection will fall to use that right. If the
rank and file of the union men of San Francisco
turn <)Ut in force we have no doubt of the result;
for the vast majority of our people has no use
for the Gallagher*, the Boxtons or the politi
cians who saddled them upon us. Respect-

May Return Indictments on
Evidence Supplied by
Casey Faction
An investigation will be begun this"
afternoon by the grand jury of the
I reputed colonization of prospective
voters by the machine politicians,

District Attorney Langdo-n received,
word on Friday from the. independent.
union labor organization. - headed fry-
Michael Casey, offering to supply evi
dence of fraudulent registration . and
colonization to the grand jury. Lang-.
don and the forces of his office at once
instituted an investigation of the evi
dence given by Casey's committee and
other data was collected subsequently. '
' This afternoon's investigation may
develop facts relative .to the stuffing of'
the register and indictments may be re- j
turned against the manipulators of the
scheme for capturing the conventions.
One important feature of the lnvesti-- •
gation will be the possible exposure" at
fraudulent regiatration on the eve oi
