Pian of Action Is Being
Mapped Out by Rival
Organizations
; By George A. Van Smith
P. H. McCarthy, union labor can
didate for jnayor. will fire the first
big gun of the campaign tomorrow
night, but the cannonading will not
become general until next week, when
the Taylor and Ryan campaigns will
•*be launched and steamed up under a
, forced draught, which will be main
tained until the eve of election.
Ryan may open his campaign on
Saturday night, but unless he changes
his mind meanwhile, he will not
make his keynote speech until next
Monday night. The democrats are not
expected to open their campaign for ]
Taylor and the combination ticket un
til next week, and Dr. Taylor will
op p n his own campaign tinder the aus
pices of the Good Government league
on Saturday, October lf«.
The delay Jn setting the Taylor and
Hyan campaigns in motion is due to
several causes. Neither the democrats
nor republicans ha,v« completed their
•\u25a0ampaign organizations and the Good
Government league campaign man
agers are preparing to depart from
the conventional campaign tactic*.
COMPLETING On<rA.MZATIOX
The democrats will complete the or
ganization of their committee tonight
and Tliomas W. Hickey will remain at
Us h««d a? chairman of the city and
county organization. Ryan's organ
ization will probably be completed to
night by the appointment of a cam
paign committee and a finance commit
tee, and the formal organization of the
new city and county committee. The
campaign and finance committees will j
be rhtJsen by Ryan himself and will be '
small bodie?. probably consisting of
five or seven members each. '
Hyan devoted himself last nierht to a I
ranvass of a li?t of names from which
h» will make his selection*, which will |
b" announced upon the acceptances of j
th» appointees. V. IT. Dam of the thir
ty-ninth district undoubtedly will be
the chairman of the city and county
committee, with its reduced member
ship of 56. Contrary to the popular
belief, I am convinced that Perry H.
Ncwberry, f? eretary of the Regular
U«publican league, will not be th» sec- '
retary of the county, committee nor of
the campaign committee. He will, of
course, be actively identified with
Iljan's campaign, but the honors that
attach to official designations will be
given out to the boys whose political
compensations never get beyond the
right to do a lot of hard work for the
cause.
Many of the men associated with the
republican campaign are anxious to
break Into the hustings game imme
diately, but they probably will be
forced to defer to Ryan's wishes, and
be floes not care to take the stump
until his campaign arrangements are
complete. It Is his Intention to ke*»p
up a continuous fire from the time of
his first speech until the polls open,
and he thinks three full weeks quite
enough of that sort of thing.
SBIG MEETINGS FOR TAVMJIt
So far as it has crystallized the demo
cratic Idea of the Taylor carypaign is to
have the mayor appear at only two big
meetings, one at the opening and one
at the close of the campaign. The
Good Government league, which will
conJuct its campaign for Taylor, Lang
j don and the combination ticket quite
• ind?pendently of the democratic or
i eranization, has tentatively arranged
i for two big Taylor meetings, but also
intends to have the mayor appear for
short speeches at different district
meetings throughout the campaign. If
13rea:iiland rink can be secured the
Jcague will present Dr. Taylor as' tht>
principal speaker at a big mass meet-
Ing on Saturday, October 19. He will
no: appear again a.t a big meeting un
der the auspices of the league until
the Saturday nisht before the election.
This meeting may be held at the Audi
torium or in the open air.
The league contemplates holding, in
addition to a complete schedule of dis
trict meetings, a series of home to home
meetings, analagous to the "kitchen"'
meetings of New York campaigns.
All the campaign managers seem
imbued with the Idea that they must
have Dreamland rink,^ but only Mc-
Carthy has insured himself of the right

ASK FOR PROTECTION
University y Men Are Placed
in Bad Light by Rev.
Father Lyons
REDWOOD CITY, Oct. 7.— ln an ef
fort to : limit the number of saloons
at Menlo Park, and particularly in
opposition to the granting of a liquor
license applied for by Thomas S. Har
rington, ' Stanford university, along
with Mayneld and Palo "Alto, is listed
as contributing, its quota of "vicious
drinkers," who disturb the peace and
offend the, morality of the little town.
Father Lyons, pastor of the Catholic
church at Menlo Park, appeared before
the board of supervisors today to join
in a protest against the granting of
a license to Harrington.
"At the present time," said Father
Lyons, "Menlo'is the congregating point
for the idle and vicious drinkers of Palo
Alto, Mayfield and Stanford university,
much to the danger and menace of
women, srirls and 'children. Children
see sights on 1 the , streets there every
day and especially on Saturdays and
Sundays, that can not fail to help
lower their standards and morals. The
women of Sacred Heart convent have
been insulted- in passing along the'
streets, as - also have Hie student?
at St. Patrick's seminary. H is
necessary for. a decent" citizen at
times ; to \u25a0use jtl«e>» .streets instead
of the walks in order to avoid
insults. The board of "supervisors is
the body and the only ono to whom
we can look for protection from these
rufllans."
Fatltfr Lyons was followed by the
Rev. Kingsley Blodgett of the Menlo
Park Episcopal church and A. .7. Steiss
of Fair Oaks, who corroborated his
assertions. Father Kunkle spoke for
the St. Patrick's seminary, with which
institution he is connected, and for
Archbishop Riordan, v.lio is strongly
opposed to more saloons at Monlo.
Lengthy petitions from, the residents
of Menlo and vicinity against the grant
ing of ' a license were also read. ' The
petitions included the names of the
Eyrv»s. Selb>\s, Hopkins and others of
financial and social weight.
Supervisor John,- Me Bain,. In v whose
district the saloon war is going -on,
stated that the cafe district was con
fined to a spaco 250 feet square where
there were already 10 saloons, and
that ho thought the district rather
crowded. ' Ho thereupon moved that
Harrington's application be denied and
on a vote being taken the board'con
curred.
Another place slipped into Biirlin
game where liquor can be obtained in
unbroken (?) packages. The supervis
ors granted 1 a license .to. the grocery
firm of Lorton & Moerken to sell liquor
in unbroken packages, ; under what is
known as the Classß' license. A few
months ago the Woman's club of Bur
lingame- found that the only -grocery
in the place at that time, was the chief
offender when it came to dealing out
liquor by the glass.. The women suc
ceeded in having the owner pay a
light fine and today's action of the
board means that they will have. one
moro place to watch.'

San Joaquin Farmers
Want Better Roads
Urge the Supervisors to Call
Special Election to Vote
Bonds for Improvements
Special by Leased Wire to The Call
STOCKTON^ - Oct. 7;— Farmers from
many outlying districts appeared be
fore the San -, Joaquln county, board of
supervisors today and urged them that
a special election called at the
earliest possible; time for the' purpose
of voting $2,500,000 or a greater sum in
bonds with which. toVperinanently Im
prove I.SOO miles of flood wrecked high
ways in this county. Petitions signed
by practically every property owner in
a particular section were also present
ed to the board: It is evident that the
supervisors will be forced to take the-
Initiative and' call for. an election Im
mediately instead of deferring it' un
til the first of the year. Not a word
of opposition .-Is'. heard from any quar
ter. ...» The , supervisors ' propose to
macadamize all the principal roads -and
construct concrete culverts in place of
the wooden ones in" use. : The roads
are in isuch deplorable condition
since the floods ;of March last ' that
much of the country to the south and
west is without, an outlet.
Three years ago ?40,000 per annum
was= sufficient vto : keep the roads in
excellent condition. Within tft^ past
two years $100,000 per annum is not
enough to keep the roads' passable^
The farmers, always prone to object
to any project or improvement which
increases the tax rate,, have pract*
cally combined to bring about a bond
ing election which' vwill place from
three to, five million dollars at the
disposal of the supervisors for road
improvement alone.- Numerous meet
ings will -be held throughout the rich
agricultural districts during the com
ing week.
Hughes Not to Accept
Vice Presidency
It Is Believed, However, That He
Will Not Refusejirst Place
on Ticket
Special by Leased Wire to The Call
i WASHINGTON, v t)/t., 7. — Governor
Hughes of K'jw York, according; to;rc
liable reports: which"; have' reached
Washington, h.is announced to close
friends that he would not. again be a
candidate for governor, of New,' York
and would not accept a nomination for
vice president from the. republican na
tional convention. He Is declared to
have said that he was interested prin
cipally in his work as governor of New
York and next in importance was his
law practice.
It is understood that no mention was
made by him of the presidency, but
word recently has neen conveyed to
President Roosevelt by highly infiuen- \
tial persons of the stale that it would :
be* foolish to presume, that Governor
Hughes would not take this nomina
tion if it were tendered him. - !
James K. Jones, chairman of the
democratic, national committee during
both the Bryan campaigns, was evasive
when asked today if he had ' advised
Bryan not to bo a candidate for the
presidency next year. He said his ad
vice had not been asked on this sub
ject and he could not remember in his
.voluminous correspondence with Bryan
of. ever having utttered such a senti
ment. It is understood that Jones feels
that Bryan can well wait "further de
velopments: in the democratic situation
before committing himself, and that he
believes ;Bry'ah< himself -has' riot made
up his mind on the subject' yet;

HARTJE OBTAINS
WIFE'S LETTERS
TO A COACHMAN
Pittsburg Millionaire Petl
tions for Reopening of •
Divorce Case
HAS NEW EVIDENCE
Holds Missives That Passed
Between Mrs. Hartje
and Madine
WANTS VINDICATION,
Correspondence in Question
Conducted Since Trial
of Suit
PITTSBURG, Oct. 7.— lnterest in
the sensational Hartje divorce case
was revived today by the announce
ment that a petition had been filed
by the complainant, Augustus Hartje.
with the justices of the superior
court, sitting in Philadelphia, asking
that the case be reopened in order
that additional evidence, alleged to be
damaging* to the defendant. Mary
Scott Hartje, could be heard.
The millionaire paper manufacturer.
it is said, has discovered a package oC
letters alleged to have been written
by the two sisters of Mrs. Hartje and
\u25a0 Thomas Madine. the coachman core
• spondent, and desires to show that the
respondent was 'guilty of the charges
brought against her.
The letters said to have been written
by Mrs. Hartje's sister are alleged to
contain admissions with reference to
the divorce case. Madine is alleged
to have made a confession to the at
torneys for Hartje, and to have turned
over to them masses of documentary
evidence.
. D. T. Watson, attorney for Mr*.
Hartje, said today that the alleged
letters had no bearing on the caa?.
Augustus Hartje said the new evidence
would vindicate him. He would spen.l
hl3 last dollar to obtain vT&dicatioii.
' he said, and before ho was through
i he would go after every one Involved
in the case.
JiADI.VE IS IX IRELAAD
It was learned that Madine was mar
ried recently and Is now in Belfast.
Ireland, with his wife. It is said Ma
dine intends to make that place his
permanent home.
Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje, who is vis
iting at Ligonier Springs, Pa., in tele
phonic conversation with this city to
day, refused to discuss the new phase*
of the case alleged by her husband.
Further sensations are expected.
In the petition presented to the court
for Hartje he recites that since the
hearing in the case he has secured
letters written by Thomas Madine, the
