It consistently and laboriously opposes,

©f eulogistic attack that the back fire
Is most dangerous. >
The Los Angeles Times sees in Tay
lor the man who will make the labor
bosses take theJr feet off San Fran
cisco's neck, the champion who will
protect the businessmen from extortion
end bribe giving and protect the lives
of independent worklngmen who would
otherwise be killed If they dared work
In San Francisco. These boosters know
the effect of the Times' support on the
labor vote. All of them have been th«
paid organs of Calhoun and the boss
bribers. They .are for Taylor in the
open. Under cover they are for the
candidate whose election would cover
the reform movement In deeper shame
than it was plunged two years ago by
the employers of the same hired
claquers.
MEETING ENDS IS STRIFE
The attempt to tow dissension in the
republican ranks has not been confined
to the forces outside the convention.
Missionaries have been at work among
the delegates and one meeting for the
ostensible purpose of keeping delegates
fiom pledging themselves to any can
didate has been held. This meeting,
which did not turn out as its promoters
expected, was held last night in the
\u25a0 office of Frank V. Keesling, a delegate:
from the thirty-seventh.
• KeeEling was put into politics a few
: years ago at San Jose by Johnnie Mac
. kenzie, who has become so adept In
the game that he can now 'take sidings
and crossings without the sound of the
\u25a0whistle. He knows the schedules. Per
\u25a0 ry Newberry put Keesllng on the ticket
at the last moment to fill a vacancy.
r The day after the primary election
• Keesling was a candidate for chairman
of the convention. He was quietly but
firmly suppressed. He never attended
any of the meetings of the delegation,
and in consquence did not know that
it had supplied Itself with a chairman
and a secretary In the persons of
Franklin T. Bull And James Ryan, re
» cpectlvely. This he learned when he at
tempted to call a meeting of the dele
gation.
The delegation meeting failing. Kees-
Jing figured out a meeting for the set
tlement of the policy of the convention.
This meeting was held at his office last
night. The invitations were not gen
eral. It was to be a meeting of a se
lect few of the truly representative !
men of the party. The Up was out that
it was a Taylor meeting, but the wires
got crossed. The Invitations fell in the
wrong pockets. Seventeen republicans
responded and promptly got into a row,
' which Keesling finally quelled by-ad
. journing the meeting without date.
V after which he locked himself up with
E. T. McMurray of the thirty-ninth
and J. D. Pidwell of the thirty-third
> and spent a bad half hour framing a
statement for the press, which con
tained several Items in no wise apropos
of the meeting.
The republicans present were J. T.
Pidwell of the thirty-third district. J.
- H. Wilson of the thirty-fourth, F. Eas
ton, H. A. Gabriel. C. A. Day, T. P. Mar
tin. F. V. Keesling, John G. Rapp,
thirty-seventh: Henry Day, thlrty
./eighth; E. T. McMurray. Joseph Cut
_ten. thirty-ninth; C. L. Field. Walter
Dyer. Hamilton Bauer, fortieth, and
W. D. Fennimore. Sheldon Kellogg and
Harry Hammer of the forty-first.
BOUKD TO STRICT SECRECY
The doors were locked, curtains
drawn and the festivities opened. The
first clash showed nine of the seven
teen were for. Ryan, McMurray was for
Charles S. Wheeler; Sheldon. Kellogg
was for Judge Slack; Harry Hammer for
; Will lam Cluff. An unidentified voice
, raised above the tumult to declare for.
James Rolph and out of the din came
a suggestion that the meeting settle
the whole thing by indorsing the candi
dacy of John McDougald. Taylor never
got to" the favorable. mention post. But
the discussion became so warm that
the elevator man got out his emergency,
fire hose before Keesling was able to
shoo the belligerents out Into the cold,
cold night, bound by an oath of strict
est secrecy.
Taylor Is good food for public con
sumption, but he is not being boosted
behind closed doors by any- of the
whittle boys. If Taylor be given the
rej^blican nomination for mayor he
will receive It from the Ryanltes. who
are passing it up to Ryan. \u25a0 Ryan is
not a candidate In the sense of seeking
ithe nomination for mayor, or for any
.'other office, but his forces will ,be
rimmed up to that the whistle boys
.'may not'«m«rge from behind aTaylor
boom and nominate an anti graft prose
cution candidate in a disorganized con
vention.
CARACAS INSISTS BIG
FINE WAS JUSTIFIED
CARACAS, Aug. 26.— El Constltu
cional, the goi'ernment organ, in com
menting on the $5,000,000 fine assessed
against the New Tork and Bermudez
asphalt company for complicity in the
llatos rebellion, says that the evidence
against the .corporation was taken
mostly from .the records of 'cases tried
In the United States, and adds:
"It now remains to be «een If the
.etate department (American), will again
vconvei-t itself Into the protector, de
fender and tutor of adventurers who
Chave confessed their guilt and who
-mr« legitimately chastised by ths legis
latures of all civilized nations, Includ
\u25a0 irig the United States, In which country
\u25a0 the offenders abound."
-- WASHINGTON, Aug. 2«.— Following
: Venezuela' b third refusal to arbitrate
the .five American claims, it Is now the
duty of Washington to determine what
is to be done to adjust these claims.
The situation is difficult, owing to the
program of the other creditor nations.
President Roosevelt may decide to sub
mit ~ the whole matter to congress, al
though this might result In measures
that might be regarded as warlike.

Labor Estimators Say Clean Candidates
Are Necessary to Hold Union Vote
Democratic Delegates Elect Search for Man
to Replace William H. Larigddn
Political mathematicians at present
affiliated with the labor party are do-
Ing- much figuring nowadays on the
annual vote crop. Some of them, after
calculating the usual 17 per cent dis
count for votes lost in transit, are
prepared to guarantee: 34,000 head for
November delivery. This 34,00") Is sup
posed to represent the number of union
men who would be included-In a total
poll of 58,000, but mathematicians count
on a registration of 70,000. If thlsfnum
ber is exceeded they figure the total
vote will be somewhat larger, but will
not be more than. 60.000. -
The number of union men in San
Francisco Is estimated as* follows :
Building trades council, 33,000; labor
council, 36,000; other organizations not
affiliated: with either of the big central
organizations, 5,000. ' •
This gives a total of 74,000, byt a
large percentage of "these men, it is
conceded, are not voters. \u25a0 Many are
voters who live across the. bay or down
the peninsula. To get the-'voting
strength the" mathematicians make
arbitrary reductions amounting to
nearly 50 per cent, and present a re
vised computation of qualified voters
which runs about as follows:
Building trades council, 20,000; labor
council, 18,000; other organizations,
3,000; total. 41,000.
As a rule the vote is 17 per cent less
than the registration. This would mean
a further cut of about 7,000,- making
the final estimate of union votes 34,
000.
According to the foregoing figures
the mathematicians claim a natural
majority of 10,000, but admit that many
men •who carry union cards prefer one
or the other of the old parties to thft
organization which three times put
Eugene E. Schmitz at the bead of its
ticket; ' •' '
This admission sets the pencil to
working again, and few of the mathe
maticians agree on the answer, but
most of them figure. away the natural
majority of 10,000. .Some of- -the
wizards get the union labor party vote
down to 26,000, and dispose of the
other 32,000 by giving the republicans'
22.000 and the democrats 10,000. This
gives the labor party a plurality of
4,000, but leaves it apparently 6,000
votes weaker than : the \u25a0 combined
strength of the republicans and the
democrats.
When fusion of the two older parties
is suggested the wizards drop their
pencils and declare that such a com
bination would make the labor party
at least s,ooo.votes. votes stronger and give
it an easy victory.
MAY SEEK OUT WHEL.AN
In all the calculations no allowance
Is made for possible loss due to .the
exposure of Schmitz and the confes
sions of Abe Ruef and the boodle su
pervisors. The labor party mathemati
cians admit that conditions* are not
normal, but this concession Is nowhere
in evidence when they, begin -,to figure.
The labor party has ' ihe Votes, they
say, and the only thing necessary, in
their. opinion. Is to find some candidate
whose' record is clean and whose friend
ship for. .organized- \labQr^ -.cannot . -be
questioned. If, ihe, .rlght_niaJ> .cannof
be ' found .. in th^e', labor.,* parsy,Y ?ay^ the
wise" men, he wlilbe taken fro in, some
other partj', even ; if." It: be neces.sa.ry to
resort to fusion or Indorsement. Every
now and then some delegate suggests
the name of former Sheriff Richard I.
Whelan, ' a democrat ' who has always
stood well In labor. circles. Whelan
has not yet been approached, but It
would not be surprising If some promi
nent member of . the union labor party
should be given the task soon of feel-
Ing him out If Whelan, should be
named the ticket for supervisors would
be as nearly, nonpar tisan as: the stand
ard bearer and the leaders of the" labor
party could \make It. Several of the
men named by Schmitz to succeed
members of the boodle Board still long
fpr the seata which. they were not per-,
mltted to fill, but .their, yearnings and
appeals for recognition' 5 have not re
sulteVJ In any promise that they wlll !
be ; remembered tho slate is
made'up. . ... > : \u25a0 \u25a0 ,/.--. . ,
] Although some of the 'labor .leaders
arid severarcity officials still hold-con
ferences ' with the former', mayor, all
signs point to a steady decline of the
Schmitz influence. Schmitz is cred;
lted with the power of controlling the
votes of many of the men who will be
members' of the labor convention/This
supposed strength is the lure that
causes a 'few of the "elective "officials
who seek renominatlon to take occa
sional trips to the county Jail, but once
they .are placed on the. ticket their.ln
terest In i Schmitz Is . likely to cease
with great suddenness, for with the de
livers' of his bunch of delegates the
"big fellow's" basket will be empty. \u25a0
The democratic leaders are "doingsllt
tle besides keeping their ears to the
ground. Delegates elect are discuss
ing the possibility of pooling issues
either ..with the ' republicans or ' the
union laborites, but all rumors of con
ferences with such an end In view are
vigorously denied. So far as the demo
crate are concerned, all places are open
save : one. The exception is the asses
sorshlp. Washington Dodge is sure to
be renominated. At a critical time he
forgot his grievances against the regu
lar democratic \u25a0 organization and called
off several of his deputies who already
had , made an alliance with . the . Ma
honey-Bylngton combination. Dodge's
change of front turned the tide against
the insurgents, and; all regulars agree
that *he ha* » well earned a nomination
for a third term. * ' *
itAXGDOJT NOT IN FAVOR
Among the probable democratic nomi
nees is : "Billy" Hynes, who wants to
run again » for public administrator.
Hynes was elected to that office In 1903.
He was renominated In 1905, but met
defeat with the rest of the fusion
ticket. .

less great pressure Is brought to bear.

\u25a0NEW YORK. " Aug. 26. —Although
President - "Small of 'the; commercial
telegraphers' union declared today th;it
conditions were worse than at any tlra^
since the strike was declared, neither
the : Western ; Union nor the Postal
seemed to take* the statement seri
ously.
"We are not paying any. attention to
Small," was the comment of Edward J.
Nally, vice president and general man
ager of the Postal. "Conditions are
steadily improving with us."
-"The week opens with the brightest
prospects we: could; possibly hope for
the strikers." said Small.~ "We have
agents within, earshot of every official
of both companies, and therefore know
whereof we .speak. .Before the end of
the 'week, unless a" settlement Is
reached, the telegraph system of the
country will beout of commission."
Belvldere Brook of the Western Un

: "So •\u25a0 far as the Western Union com
pany is concerned the 'strike Is settled
today. -We are . now operating with
no more delay'than the day before. the

all the ' men It needs and 1 conditions
practically are normal. The strikers
are 'beaten." .' ' ....
