Lottery Octopus Has Tentacles Around Little Kentucky, a Rival 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 Continued on Page' 2," Cblnmn' 1 The San Francisco Call.
