Fusion or Ideal Nonpartisan Ticket
Becomes Remote Contingency
Taylor. Griticisedior Appointments and
'. \u25a0\u25a0 ...Republicans Favor Ryan
George A. Van Smith
Republican and democratic, fusion ;or the ideal nonpartisan
ticket .-so liberally discussed before and immediately after the pri
maries are becoming daily more and more remote contingencies.
The temper of the republicans, as shown^by the resolution adopted
by / five of their delegations, indorsing Daniel A. Ryan, indicates
that the delegates have wearied of their receptive attitude and that
they are disposed to proceed without reference to either -of the other
party organizations. That, if no further, change comes over their
dreams, the republicans will nominate a nonpartisan ticket, 'headed
by a republican, may be accepted as reasonably assured.
_ The republican delegates intend to nominate Langdon for district
attorney/; Jt is not a matter of program. Neither is it a matter of
politics, nor yet do they consider the nomination of Langdon. as a
conclusive proof of their intention to nominate a nonpartisan ticket.
They, do not consider Langdon as a partisan— certainly not as -a
republican, but as an issue which they*
are pledged to meet. I have talked with
many, republican delegates. Only two
or three of them disapprove of Lang
don, ' and when his name Is presented
to the convention all of the Ryan dele
srates will be found for the district
\u2666attorney, which will amount to a ;
unanimous nomination.
. DESIRE THE BEST ?.IC\
After Langdon, the delegates with
\u25a0whom I have talked favor a ticket
that shall be free from hidebound par
tisanship. Strangely enough, they have
no candidates In mind, but they are
quite unanimous in declaring that they
\u25a0want best men regardless of party
affiliation, and this feeling extends to
air of the offices save that of mayor.
The republicans view the unwilling
ness of the other party managers- to
come to the front and center for a
strictly nonpartisan ticket as an indi
cation of a desire to make the best of
a political bargain. The natural re
sult . has been to foster a republican
unwillingness to permit members of
other parties to interfere in any way
with, their nominations, and a disposi
tion to keep their nonpartisan pledges
e*ngle handed.
The district Indorsements .given Dan
iel A.. Ryan are Indicative of this frame
of mind as well as they are indicati-ve
of the hold Ryan has personally upon
the men who were elected under the
regular republican league banner. Ryan
tells me that the district indorsements
have effected no change in his attitude
toward the mayoralty. He asked the
fortieth district delegation not to
pledge Itself to him, and the delegation
by indorsing him. which,
to the uninitiated, looks like the same
things Other district delegations are
preparing to indorse Ryan. The thirty
fifth.-will probably pledge itself to Ryan
on Saturday night and the big thirty
seventh district delegation will in all
probability follow suit on Tuesday
night. A meeting of the delegation on
last Tuesday night disclosed that 16
of'the 20 delegates were for Ryan first,
last and all the time, and that the
other four were opposed to anything
that" looked like a program. The
rhanres are all in favor of the minority
landing to the will of the majority and
sending- out a district indorsement. The
•lelegations that have already indorsoil
\u25a0Ttyan-;r»*Ttir" life till rty-§eventh and
thirty ififih amount to a control of the
Convention. It is rumored that two of
I'red Ecgers' three delegates from the
Oiirty-sisth ere for Rj-an and that Pete
Kelle,y contemplates committing his
two .from the twenty-eighth to the
tender mercies of the league, all of
which means that Ryan stands to go
into the convention with something like
100 "of the 149 delegates, even if he
should get nothing from the twenty
eighth, twenty-ninth, thirty-ninth,
forty-flrst, forty-second, forty-third,
forty-fourth and forty-fifth.
Whether Ryan Is nominated or not,
the Indorsements of the league leader
serve at least one good purpose. They
keep the machine missionaries out of
mischief.
S CHANGE OF SEXTIM E\T
The republican Indorsements . given
ityan may^ be In some degree a reflex
of the change of sentiment toward Dr.
Taylor among some of the delegates.
A delegate who was originally for Tay
lor told me yesterday that he was
henceforth unalterably for Ryan.
Pressed, for an explanation of his
change of front, he said: ; v
"Well,. Taylor looks: to nielike a Mc-
ICab partisan.' He appointed • a McNab
board of police commissioners, and I
hear that he Is going to make Tommy
Walsh registrar of voters. If this pro
gram Is continued until convention
time McNab will not need a ticket. He
will have all; the places filled."
Walsh may or may not get Adams'
place as registrar. He was a good offi
cial, but the fact that he was secretary
of ..the democratic state, central com
mittee would. In the event of his ap
pointment," clinch the republican suspi
cion that McNab has the eaT of the
mayor.
Taylor's appointment of Michael
Casey to the board of works has. be
sides giving the city a good official,
played havoc i with the calculations of
the union, labor party. slate makers.
There has been no discussion . of the
removal of Commissioner Vhomas F.
Eagan; chairman of the union labor
city and county committee. There has
been a. liberal discussion . of the more
than pr*obaDle firing of Commissioner
Aigeltlnger. • The" straltlaced union
labor party men are disturbed. They
suspect that-Eagan and Casey have ar-'
ranged to play It together In some
mysterious game. This suspicion has
helped neither Casey nor Eagan. Both
He under a charge of . playing for
fusion, and*, the "result 1s that Casey
•will probably not acquire the additional
strength '\u25a0' that thei appointment should
have given him, <and : that"Eagan . will
have to scratch- fccT-maSntaln- th« power"
he undoubtedlyTiad and-snil has in the
delegations.. 7-Sdni"e~ of Ea'gan's " friends
insist that as a result of this complica- :
tion : Eagan will have"" to become a can
didate for mayor and fight- for- the
riomination'ln'order to.clear his skirts.

lican nominations to succeed them
selves.
J. J. Sullivan, who has not given the
nonpartisan propaganda much serious
consideration, wants the democrats to
turn down either Weller or Cabaniss
and nominate him to the police bench.
MEXTIOXED FOR SUPERVISOR
Several well known republicans have
been mentioned for supervisor. .Among
them are Edward Glnley, a contractor
and builder, who lives in the thirty
ninth district; Joseph Klngr,' president of
the San Francisco stock board: Eugene
Korn, the hatter; Joseph F. Edelman of
the West End improvement club; Wil
liam Symon, dealer In feed and fuel,
and George A. Luchslnger, president of
the Humboldt bank.
Charles A. Murdoch, a member of the
board of supervisors appointed Jby
Mayor Taylor, Is mentioned as a can
didate and possible nominee for treas
urer. Paul Bancroft, treasurer of the
regular republican league, has been
mentioned for this nomintion, has Indi
cated that it would not be accepted.
For coroner, Al White, of the under
taking firm of Porter & White; Dr. E.
W. Couper, a delegate from the thirty
third district, and Dr. W. C. Voor
sanger have been mentioned.
San Francisco may decide to vie with
Chicago in the elevation of a popular
idol from the baseball diamond to an
important office. The Chicago demo
crats made Pop Anson city clerk, the
friends of "Bill" Lange who more than
shared in the fans' Idolatry for Anson
\u25a0want the San Francisco republicans
to make him county clerk. William
Kennedy, formerly a deputy clerk as
signed to Judge Coffey's court, is an
avowed aspirant for the place. •
Senator Richard J. Welsh, who Is on
his way back from a tour of Ireland,
has been indorsed by the thirty-second
district for sheriff. He will probably
receive a similar indorsement from the
republican delegation from the thirty
fifth district when it meets on Saturday
night. aRSSS " \u25a0'
Two. members of Sheriff O'Neil's staff
are represented as being willing to put
aside partisanship in return for a re
pubJiean nomination for.; sheriff. ...They
are Sig-. Simon, - the casllier, and Ed
ward- Green, the' desk - deputy,'' who
has a lot of friends.
FORTV-FIUST FOR TAYLOR
The republican delegates from the
forty-first district are still clinging to
Mayor Taylor. They met last night at
1978 Vallejo street, the residence of
Sheldon G. Kellogg, chairman of tho
delegation, and reported that in pur
suance to an agreement they had
sounded citizens of all classes and
found a strong public demand for the
nomination of Taylor by the republican
convention. This convinced them that
they were right, and they would go into
the convention 13 strong to work and
vote for the present mayor. All of the
delegates from the district were pres
ent at last night's meeting.
"NO LANGDON FOR US,"
SAY THE LABOR CHIEFS
Fusion With Democrats De
pends Upon Elimination
of District Attorney
John Taylor Waldorf
The plans of those politicians who
favor. a fusion of democrata^and union
laborites have reached a critical stage.
All depends upon what the democrats
decide to do in the matter of the dlsf
trict attorneyship. ' If they conclude
that it will be wise politics to nominate
William H. Langdon all chance of a
combination of forces will suddenly
vanish, "No Langdon for us" Is the
message that has come from the labor
camp, and now "for the first time* since
the primaries the democrats • know
"where they, are at." They must either
eliminate Langdon from their calcula
tions or eliminate fusion.
For the last 10 days democratic and
union labor delegates elect have ' been
fraternizing In the various districts.
After many animated discussions the
majority of these men came to the con
clusion that the only sure way of beat
ing the republicans was for the dem
ocratic and labor conventions to "agree
on a fusion ticket;. This decision was
reached without any conference of
leaders. Then came talk . over
Langdon and- what should be done with
him. »sSfl»B4ißß39&m££ \u25a0.•-,."' \u25a0
; Early in the serle3.of Impromptu dis
trict conferences It developed that most
.of the labor delegates have ani intense
hatred for- Abe Ruef,' whom »they ; look
upon, not- only as a rogue, .but "akturn-J
coat." ' These' men want to see Abe deco
rated .'..with. • stripes, \u25a0 and "they i: accuse
Langdon of being in a'plot t6-save\the
confessed extortionist from ever spend
ing a. day In San ; Quentin. , Democratic
delegates, not liking "Langdon because
his candidacy for governor last Novem
ber destroyed- Theodore A; Bell's 'chance
of election,- have expressed appfoval;Of
the J views - of the labor delegates, and
now-the problem has been" passed up "to
the party leaders.' What the latter will
do is a matter, of uncertainty, and may
not;.be decided : until \ the "democratic
delegates, caucus a few days - before
their convention. w Such »"a delay ' would
keep: the fusion* plan, in -the air for /at
least, four weeks.. Meanwhile, only one
thing is sureV The labor party .wlHnot
consider any combination that includes
William H. Langdon. :
- jln'* the event \u25a0of \ the rejection' of
Langdon the f democrats will \ ask the
laborites ;to take some democrat ; who
will* pledge himself -to' a" continuance~of
the 'graft prosecutions. H. ,U.*«rahdeh

Before the close of the "market It ! had
been "pretty well ' esta iblished " Xhat ; Fish
did not strike " Harahan- with ftiisj huge
flst, but that he merely, clutched.Harra
han's throat in the -grip' of " s his -left

It is conceded that the -provocation
for Fish's energetic eruption was that
Harahan had: called him "a damned
liar", and . that during • the y throttling
and shaking process Fish- was -loudly
calling upon Harahan . to- "Take • that
back!" 1 - -- . - . -\u25a0:-'.' : . •\u25a0- ? . r '-.- \u25a0-•• \u25a0 -\u25a0 '".
After r Fish had finished* reading - his
typewritten document,- Harahan.; asked;
"Mr. Fish, did I correctly .understand
you in your remarks to Mr. Peabody
a few moments ago .to imply that, l am
the tool of i him or of any other man ?"
"That is what I said and that is what
I mean," flashed .back Fish,: projecting
his aggressive chin and shaking 'his
finger menacingly; toward the presiding:
officer. .-, , ;,-.\u25a0 -:. \u25a0;. :'j
*^ Harahan, who had losti,hls;,tem>c,r as
completely as had Fish, half , rose, from
his chair and, as the , two ..big '. men
faced each other, he. retorted:
"Any man whb says I am the tool of
any man or of any. set of men is a
damned liar!" . .
Fish went atHarrahan like, a cata
pult, and in" an instant the president of
the company . was forced back over the
chair rest, one of Fish's brawny hands
clutching at his throat, while the other
shook Harahan back and forth. ».
"Take that back, you traitor; take
that back," cried Fish. .--;:,
"I take back nothing. I repeat what
I said," gasped Harahan as .the .big ath
lete's iron grip "tightened lupon his
neck. Directors Cutting and HackstafE
leaped to the rescue, seized Fish by the
arm and disengaged his hold , as Hara
han's face was beginning to turn pur
ple and his eyes to bulge under the
pressure. Director Beach, who 'ls an
elderly man and not at all athletic/
could do Ilftle-^ except to expostulate,
but the others soon had separated tho
antagonists and somewhat calmed
them. .•• ; . ' \u25a0 ; ; : • < ik"- '\u25a0 \u25a0

Mrs. Young _*tfas; going* to the top
floor "to; make-^Bme purchases, and -was
the last passenjflf'; to enter the elevator
before;, it "was .started." The. car was
crowded; . and ; with r her child she stood
near ; the open side of the cage. . The
elevator;; was ; moving . at " high speed
when, "'^before anybody^ noticed; her dan
ger; 4 the * child ' stepped {back,; and tot
tered 'against! the", sidejof ' the"; sh'af tlFor
an Instant tho little body brushed along
the side'; and I then • the * child's ; shoulder
struck jajslll , which "\u25a0 extended ;a few
inches out from the ' smooth sides of the
shaft." In less ! than a f second she was
caught between; the i floor and the sill
and her "body forced into the narrow
space. ; - v: Before the car ! could be, stopped

so'; terribly that" the vital organs were
exposed. \There ; werej 10 women ln;the

WKy BabyV Food
Disagrees >
- An unnatural food is almost certain to [ {
disagree with. baby. \u25a0 \\
' '_, Did yon ever hear a well mother, yrha d
was nursing her baby, say that baby's .'
food did not agree with him?
Almost never.
Mother's milk is nature's food.
. : Sanipure* Milk is nature's substitute I
for mother's milk. It contains the same
things mother's milk does— in almost the
same quantities, is more nearly like moth-
er's milk . than any other infant's food.
Cow's;milk forms hard, lumpy curds
in the baby's stomach— that is why foods
"mixed with unchanged cow's milk do I •
not agree with baby. v • ;[ L*
; Sanipure Milk •is cow's milk with the j *
faults left out. ; ' The formula is on every
can-r-show it to your doctor. i
