It Ik. perhaps, well to remind
the "public at this moment that
the democratic party In San
l"r«BiiM'o. far from belnfc mori
bund. ha» elected time after time
a majority of the supervisors and
<-f the other Important municipal
officers until through the intro
duction of the voting machines
tv\o years sro our ticket was de
feated- by -t'Oters who wished to
cant a vote for £chniltz and did .
not know how to split a ticket on
the machines. .
The character and prestige of
our organisation, even more than
the popularity of individual men,
contributed to our victory today.
I wish to lay stress on the fact
that our organization 'had no
campaign fund and no patrenage. ;
The fight was made and the lie
tory won by the unbonght loyal
ty of our little band of clean .
men, aided by the . unsmirched
record of our organization and
the candidates who have -been
nominated by our conventions.
Our nominees when elected have
been honest and competent public
officers, and to this statement I
make no exception.
We shall do in the future what s
we have done In every democratic
convention held since this organ
ization came Into existence, more
than 10 years ago— nominate the
best men we can persuade to ran
for office and call on all good
citizens, no matter what their
party, to vote for them.

of Maestretti's victories, failed to give
him a single vote.
The most significant victory won by
the anti-Herrin forces" was that In the
thirty-seventh. The machine ticket was
•engineered. by Postmaster Arthur Flsk,
who announced himself aa. invincible in
the banner republican district in San
Francisco. Through the befuddling of
George D. Clark he managed to get the
names of several eminently respectable
men on his ticket. But respectability
was not proof against the anti-Herrin
I wave" that swept over San Francisco
yesterday. Fisk, failed to carry a pre
cinct and out of a vote of 1.524 lost the
district by a margin of 244. .
Ryan, who headed the anti-Herrin
ticket in the fortieth district, won a
two to one victory over the force*
marshaled by Assemblyman. Henry
Thompson. The Maestretii ticket ran a
bad third. -Out*of a. to\al of. l; 450 .votes.
ttie'Ryan ticket got 554 as against 415
for the Thompson ticket and 181' for the
sovereigns of .^inerica.
In Herrin : s home district, the forty
first, his machine ticket suffered defeat
at a ratio of nearly three to one., re

The republican convention will -'be
\u25a0composed of 126 delegates absolutely
pledged to wipe out Herrln's conlrdUof
the county committee and to nominate
an antiboss ticket. With- these 136
delegates will be six who were In
dorsed by the league and who were
electea without- contest. They . repre
' sent the interest of Recorder John
Kelson, "who with Fred Eggers are the
•\u25a0*nly known- aspirants -for-public office

; Aside from Eggers' and Kelson, who
: -will scarcely become factors, no c&n-
Ididate has figured In the' selectionvof
' delegates and otlier delegates ';a.Ve
pledged in any way to any candidate.
The league made Its fight squarely on
the anti-Herrin Issue, pledged to nomi
nate free men, who -would if elected
insure a vigorous continuation of the
graft prosecution and to root Herrin's
hired men out of the city and county
committee. •
The overwhelming success won un
der his leadership started a cry- for
Ryan as the republican candidate for
mayor early last night- Ryan , reiter
ated the pledge of the league and In
sisted that neither he nor' the .men
who had worked with him for .the
emancipation of. the republican party
\u25a0 had given any thought to candidates.
• ." nvA.\ Sot seeking office
In reply to a direct question' touch
ing the probability of ' his becoming, a
candidate, Ryan, said: 7
"Of course, ' this use of my name is
flattering. I- went Into this fight', not
for oURee or, personal advancement; .- I
em not seeking any offlce, nor have »«

is the nomination of the best men we

\u25a0- -The : forthcoming republican
tomention will be composed of
the "men elected this day. Col
'fectiV^iy a republican convention
m-San Francisco lias never had a
better class of citizens.. The
-of the delegates was and
[is^to. oppose the control of 'the
republican party by the Southern
Pacific company, by corporation
influences or by any self-seeking
boss, and to favor the -"continua
tion of the vigorous prosecution
of. the .grafters— the brjbe .giver
and the bribe taker— in whatever
walk of life, high or low, in" San
Francisco." The people at the
polls have indorsed that pledge,
and it- will be adhered to .abso
lutely. Not only was the regular
republican league successful, but
it received a majority of all the
votes cast, which shows that the
people" of San Francisco look to
the republican party, operating
upon the lines laid down by the
republican league, for the future
prosperity of San Francisco.
city and county committee. When the
new party governing body Is selected
the republicans of San Francisco for
the first time' in many years will be In
control of their party.
Thl* success of the reform republi
cans was as complete as was the .dis
aster which accompanied the efforts of
those democrats and; union labor men
who attempted to oust the governing
bodies of their respective, parties. The
opposition to the regular . democratic
cpnftntttee'j* delegate tickets was
neither well organised nor at any time
formidable, . Nor did it attract suffi
cient; interest to -bring the vote that
Bhould 'characterize a contest even In
a minority party.
UJTIQW LABOR VOTES GAIXS •
'.The fight in the union labor party re
sulted* in multiplying the 1906 union
labor primary vote by 10. The Casey-
Sweeney movement was deficient In or
ganization-and pitted against a per
fect machine. Its success in, the thir
ty-third, where the regular ticket was
headed* by Supervisor Tveitmoe, \u0084 was
due largely.to. the fact that that dis
trict'was'well organized' and the vote
carefully cared for yesterday.
The net Immediate results of the pri
maries Is that the. union labor and dem
ocratic parties will be guided by their
accustomed leaders, and the republi
can party passes out of the hands of
Herrln and his hired men Into the con
trol of the republicans of San Fran
cisco. .
Whether the victory of the reform re
publicans and of the democratic com
mittee will result in the nomination
of Mayor Taylor and the new board of
supervisors by both republicans and
democrats; an attempt to promote a
new and purely nonpartlsan tlclcet, as
suggested by the commorclal bodies, or
in straight laced party fights for three
tickets, must for at least a few days
be matters of the merest conjecture.
Of one thing there Is no room for
doubt — the rank and file republicans
will control their . own convention
.through delegates who have but a sim
ple pledge to redeem and who owe no
allegiance to any boss. • .' . .

At ,3 b'clock the .stubs^, of the ticktjt

had been cast, .and the six factions of
the three parties ""were all claiming a

In the \u0084; d i9triQt , the
busiest workers about thepolllng^pla.ce
were Assemblyman Pete* Kelly'" "and
State Senator Frank Markey, " both 'of
whom were electioneering for tKe:re
publican machine ticket. WalterMac
arthur and his friends were doing what
they could for the Mahoney democratic
ticket, but democrats were scarce and
only 30 supporters of that party had.
voted up to 2:30 o'clock. Of these 30
the regulars claimed 20.
The republican vote at the same hour
was 109 and the union labor party had
polled 97.
Machine republicans spoke jestingly
of the plight of William J. Hagan, a
candidate for delegate on the Ryan
ticket, because he had registered as a
member of the union labor party- and
therefore could not vote for himself. I
In the twenty-ninth and thirtieth Jdis
tricts the union labor vote. was heavy,
the republican vote much less but con
siderably above normal and the demo
cratic vote light. Among the workers
for the regular union labor ticket in the
thirtieth was Assemblyman James A.
Wilson. .
Over in the forty-second district the
republican vote at 4. o'clock was double
that of the union laborites,. who wer*
running- a few votes ahead, of the demj..
ocrats. Prominent among the workers
for the union labor county committee
was" Joseph Milan. Littler-activity: was
shown by the. adherents of -Casey," and
up to the hour named none of .Casey's
candidates for delegate ' had votfed,' ,The
regulars declared . that vonly two of,

A. G. B6ggs and Dominic Beban,
whose names: appeared; on the Ryan
ticket In the forty-third, spent a busy
day :at the polls working against an
opposition ticket fathered by Phil-Has

self and Beban by a vote of three to
one:' * • :

" " The ''i: thirty-fourth'- "district a
heavy vote.' •\u25a0: ;The migration from;*the
'burned district a year;' and a halt +%S<h
added largely. to the voting strength ;ot
the- thirty-fourth, which includes Noe
•and< Eur«ka valleys- and .the eastern
slopes of Twin .peaks. The democratic
fight' was \u25a0 warmly contested there, _and
Tatefln the afternoon Stephen 'Costelio,
•one- of -the leaders -In the anti-McNab
faction, stated that he thought the re
sult would be: close.- In thie tenth atid
fourteenth general ~ "precincts,' polling
plaee~at 4182 TwentyrfourthstreeJ, the
democrats voted in excess of the uniop
laboT yparty, though' they fell short of
the republicans.
\u0084 Thomas Hickey, chairman of the
democratic* 'county committee, and
James de : Succa,- one of the leaders of
the union labor party, live in the thlr
tyrflfth.district, and both .worked hard
"for v their tickets. There was great in

: Fred Eggers planned to control the
thirty-sixth district yesterday. ; In
working'for that he* wls careless In
some instances; of the residency of his
following. In general precinct 2,.v0t-'
ing place at 1888 Mission street, he lost
.one .vote. An'Eggers heeler brought in
an % unkempt : individual- who I tried to
•pass; off* as^ a -voter until the election
Judges started to question him. They
discovered that he had lived for a while
in ' Nineteenth avenue, Jater for, two
\u25a0 weeks at a hotel ' In , Thirteenth street,
and for some time had been living in
sand lots. He, was denied a" vote. No
arreits were made in any of the Mission

Defeated Boss Takes Landslide
. Against Jiim -Philosophically \
Frank A. Maestrettl took his defeat
philosophically. After he had "heard a
few returns from- the 'thirty-ninth dis
trict he gave up _ all hope and prepared
a sighed statement -expressing "beat
wishes for the victors. Sitting in the
office of his skating rlrik he'greeted a
(arge -delegation, of mourners and
smiled" as each newcomer inquired:
"How badly were we beaten?"^ -*
| In an Interview he said: "It was the
i-ndorsement of ~ the' prosecution by the'
other "side that did it. We 'were in
wrong and' got run over. Some funny
things, were done in the almsVou^i
precinct. 'Frank Schmitz turned 65
votes over to the Ryan crowd, but there
Is no use talking about it. We were,
badly beaten, how many I don't know.
It ; was certainly enough, but I have
carried the thirty-ninth district before
and I'm' going to doit again." . \
' "Did you get anything anywhere this
tlme-?".. ; ne waa asked. , ; , 'i

The change which will give tile anti- r

headed th^ ticket In the forty-second
district, stepped aside for James G. Ma
guire. known in the state's political his
tory as the "little giant of the democ
racy." With Magulre on the ticket are
James R. Kentzell and Curtis Hlllyer.
They were elected by the small major
ity of 19 to 12.
Considerable apprehension was felt
by the qounty committee faction, over
the fate of the thirty-eighth, thirty
ninth and forty-first districts. In the
two first named the organization was
led by new men and in the forty-first
Mahoney himself was at the head of
the ticket and aspired desperately to
win there.if anywhere in the city.
