RYAN INDORSED
FOR MAYOR IN
THIRTY-EIGHT
Republicans ,of the District
Want League Leader
Nominated
OTHERS TO FOLLOW
Delegations to Meet During
Week to Declare for
DEMOCRATS AT SEA
McDougald and Leland Are
Toying With Labor
Party
By George A. Vian Smith
The republican nomination for
mayor "was brought a step closer to
Daniel -A. Ryan last night by the
action of the thirty-eighth district del
egation, which adopted resolutions
urging the. nomination of the leader* of
the regular republican league.. The
delegation met to organize and elected
Byron Mauzy chairman and William
M. Weil secretary. Fourteen of die
sixteen delegates yere present The
Ryan resolutions were , presented by
Charles H. Forbes and were ratified
by a unanimous vote. Four of the
delegates who voted for the resolu
tions made'it plain, 'howeyciLtb&J^fcle
they favored the iiomination : of I'Ryani
they did not vrish to consider the kdop
viou of -the resolutions as ; pledging
th<mv irrevocably to- Ryan.
The . thirty -se\-enth district \u25a0 delega
tion, which met last night, postponed
final actton touching its declaration
for mayor one week. A- poll' of the
delegation disclosed .that' l6 of .the ,20
delegates \u25a0w.ere unreservedly -for Ryan,
and that four were opposed to tho
tadoption of formal resolutions on the!
ground that such* action *ould. «mack
too much 'of tne 'program methods!
v-hica the league bad f fought \u25a0 at the j
primary polls. . \
Other district delegations -will meet
during th> week and will probably
adopt resolutions - similar to those
adopted by the thirty-first, thirty-sec
ond and thirty-eighth district ' delega
tions. The thirty -second district dele
gation is scheduled to meet tonight and
the thirty-fifth will probably meet
Saturday, night.
That the indorsement of Kyan by a
majority of the delegates will force
him to accept the nomination is by no
mean* clear, but it will serve^to, dear
the atmosphere and aid materially in
shutting out the whistle missionaries
who are working on the delegates, not
so much in the. interest of any declared
candidate «.s with an apparent desire
to weaken the league's hold on . the
convention.
BOURBOSS MAKE DISCOVERIES
The mayoralty situation from a
democratic viewpoint has at least one
of the characteristics, of a hardware
price sheet. * The quotations are sub
ject to change without notice, and
these changes are rung with kaleido
scopic frequency.
\u25a0Wheel horse democrats make . lmpor
'tant discoveries touching the strength
of mayoralty possibilities and prob
abilities in a manner that* would put
explorers 'of the Columbus and Balboa
type to hopeless and Impotent shame.
.Immediately after the primary elec
tions the wheel horse democrats, with
ears close to the ground and noses hot
on . tb« scent, discovered that Or. Tay
lor was an impossible candidate. They
unearthed clews with the skill 1 of a
corps of -William J- Burnses. .They
nrnde a complete and irrefutable case.
They proved, to; their own satisfaction
at least, that Taylor hadn't a chance;
that nobody want*<s him as mayor and
that no party would give him la. nom
intion.
Almost coincident with the unearth
ing of the damning evidence against
Taylor, democracy located the : people's
choice. He was ex-Mayor James D.
PhVlan. They did not hunt for thls'«vi- i
dence. It descended upon. them— fairly
engulfed them *in its comprehensive j
proportion*.,. Businessmen ;of -every
political creed demanded the .nomina
tion of Phelan.'' Democrats from, the
highways and byways sprang up as |
on e man, and in mighty chorus- insisted
that their leaders give; them; Phelan. ;
PHELAN BOOM DIES OUT;
Michael Casey, would, -according to
the Phelan proponents, take the stump
