RYAMTES APATHETIC
Apathy Is the dominant note in the
3;yan camp. Gloom has settled down
over the headquarters from which the
campaign for the job chasers' ticket is
directed. The managers go through the
motions of running a campaign in. a
perfunctory, heartless manner.
Popular disapproval of Ryan's candi
dacy and the ticket Ryan managed to
get together, followed by its repudi
ation at t!ie hands "of one of the best
men Ryan put on his ticket, has proved
too saucii for the camp followers,, who, j
lcaderless. had cleared tiieir throats \
preparatory to the "'storm of enthusi- |
.esin" which the nomination of Uyan
an.] his ticket was to evoke.
The enthusiasm has not developed
and the practical boosters are hunt
ing cover in other camps. Deserted by
«*ven the hard luck booster boys, the
Jlyah campaign is probably the. most
listless municipal canvass ever made
in San Francisco.
'• And this listlessness is wholly ex
cusable. Probably no candidate for
mayor of San Francisco" ever \u25a0vfas^more
unwelcome either to the citizens, gen
's rail jj^ or voters of his own party in
particular thas is Ryan. His nomination
.•was forced against the 'expressed' wish
Cf" a majority of the citizens of -San
"Francisco. It was promptly repudi
ated by a minority in the convention,
Sjrhicb was but little short of a ma
jority. It was with difficulty that a
<ommittei» willing to accept empty
\u25a0tionor of standing sponsor for the
.^ticket was secured. Throughout the
'populous districts scores of prominent
leaders are working against
.the Ryan ticket. Marshall Hale, a
member of the city and county com
jnittee appointed by Ryan, is a leader
.3n the independent republican move
hir-nt, whose first purpose is the elec
tion of Mayor Taylor, District At
; torney L.angdon and the good y govern
\u25a0mont ticket and the defeat of Ryan and
ftfs ticket. And, finally, aftef repudi
ation by the public and by his own
SJarty, Ryan is compelled to face re
pudiation by one of the men Whom he
nominated to Important office, because
that nominee, a conscientious repub
lican and a good citizen, believes it his
duty to San Francisco to support Mayor
Taylor.
The Ryanltes pretend to believe that
the repudiation of Ryan and his ticket
• by C. B. Perkins. Ryan's nominee for
recorder, will do the ticket good in
stead of harm, but the fact remains
that they have not ordered any red
fire to burn in honor of the occasion
and that they have had painful demon
. etrations of Its effect on camp fol
lowers, whose numbers were "surpris
ingly less at headquarters yesterday.
PEHKIAS CASTS L.AST STRAW
Perkins* announcement of his Inten
tion to support Mayor Taylor and the
Taylor ticket was a hard blow to the
3iyan forces. It* was the culminating
misfortune In a series of politicaldis
asters. Popular disapproval of Ryan's
candidacy has been forcibly brought
home to Ryan by scores of letters daily,
letters written by earnest citizens
pleading with Ryan to rise above the
lust for office and help San Francisco
prt good government through the elec
tion of Dr. Taylor.
' Partisan disapproval was only too
.. painfully exhibited in the convention
•when 63 out of 149 delegates formally
announced that thgy would not support
Ryan and it was again brough£ sharply
to the attention of Ryan and his, im
. mediate Job chasing lieutenants by the
organization of the Independent repub
lican movement to fight Ryan and his
ticket. To add salt to the wound Mar
shall Hale, chosen by Ryan as a mem
ber of his new central committee, be
came a leader In the independent re
publican movement .and assumed direc
tion of the campaign for finances with,
which to further, the interest.- of 'the
Taylor and Langdon^ ticket.. ._ ' \u0084- % - -., ,\
\u25a0 Epitomized, the situation by
Ryan discloses a disrupted ••party,**' dis
rupted convention and Ryan's | inability
to hold even hfys ticket and county com
mittee together. How keenly the situ
ation is. appreciated by Ryan .and -his
camp followers may be . gathered from
their failure to attempt to' hold a big
ratification meeting. They ; fear ' that
they could not get an * audience . large
enough to save an attempted iratiflca-^
tlon meeting from . ridicule and ", they
fully appreciate the difficulties: they
vould experience In gathering in a fe\r

district' 1 meetings, which the Ryan
managers believe preferable to a show
of their* weakness by a small crowd in
, a big. hall dpwn town.
Ryan will "address- three meetings to
night. At; Dolores hall, Sixteenth and
Dolores streets. Press Woodruff and
Edgar Peixotto, candidate for district
attorney.. wjll be the secondary attrac r
tions and other candidates on the ticket
will alternate, with Ryan between the
several meetings. The meeting in
Union hall, 3116 Fillmore street, will
be. held under the auspices of the For
ty-first District " Ryan "Republican club.
The third meeting 'wilU.be held In La
fayette hall, 1315 Stockton street, near
Broadway. Ryan will also appear at
three meetings tomorrow night in Men
nerbund hall, on Potrero avenue; New
Washington hall. 2011 Fillmore street,
and Evergreen hall, at Nineteenth and
H streets, in the Sunset district.
The Thursday night schedule for
Ryan has not been completed. He will
attempt his first downtown meeting
Friday night at Walton's pavilion.
Golden Gate avenue.
COLORED VOTERS OBJECT
Another dream of the kind induced
by the pills rolled at the Ryan head
quarters has been dissipated. The col
ored voters of Ban Francisco, according
to Rev. A. A. Burlelgh of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, Powell and
Jackson streets, resent the attempt to
deliver them and their votes out pf
hand to Ryan. Burleigh Is incensed
by a newspaper report which emanated
from the Ryan headquarters and denies
that the respectable colored voters of
San Francisco are for Ryan. It wafS
given out from the Ryan camp' that the
colored vote,", 700 strong, had been lined
up for' Ryan. Burleigh says that the
colored- men of San Francisco have not
been lined up for. any, candidate, but
that a majority of them are for Mayor
Taylor, v \u25a0 \u25a0 \u25a0 \ ) ;"." •; '\u25a0 . ; \y \u25a0'... '" \u25a0 •'.\u25a0•\u25a0
According to Burleigh the estimate of
700 placed on the colored-vote of San
Francisco is too big by more. than halt
He says" the total* vote is". about* 3oo -arid
that a' considerable percentageof it U
not registered. Insubstantiatloh of his
estimates,^ Burleigh points to the elec
tion- returns and insists that 'not -for
many years has .: the .colored vote
reached a total of 600. He said:
"The- better, class, of colored voters it
for Taylor, and that without prepara*.
tidrf or attempt^ at organization. We
think the' Barbary coast interest re»
tiponsible (or .the statement that the
colored vote is fpr kl Ryan, < and we
strongly resent the idea that'.thetßar^

talked along on the same.lines:. lines : which
have characterized, his speeches, since

tacked Mayor Taylor, viciously.,
McCarthy talked, for 'nearly three
quarters of an hour, and while he .was
j given a good reception: there was an
| absence of 'sincere' enthusiasm. ';\u25a0' Those
who came in .for the severest criticism
by McCarthy were Taylor,'^ Spreckels,
Phelan and the members of the graft
prosecution. . : *
The attacks on Taylor and other citi
zens who. stand, for clean* g»'ernment
did not meet with the "approval^ of

the hall. ' : . v , :

..District Attorney - Langdon's -argu
ment- on the subject of immunity was
as follows: -«•.'•- ,v * •
, Mr. Langdon said in part:
' Whenever you hear tui>intel]|gent*man Kay -he
disapproves ofiromunlty, being given to either of
the parties, of (he crime. of. bribery you, may rest
assured that; he : desires both parties to go free.
Opposition to the"lmmnnitr bath" -Is a cor
poration echo, for with every immunity bath
there Is n corruptlonlst's convictions • Bribery is
n crime surrounded by. the. preatest. secrecy. > It
is not committed In the presence' of , witnesses.

ofthe, parties to K,can be:indtieed v fo'glve testi
mony - for the state ? • No man can be com
pelled to testify, against, himself.,. If , then be
is not given immunity he will refuse to testify;
hence both ' parties to the crime escape. For
five months we: tried to get the legal evidence
of the crimes we were 'morally certain had been
committed,'-; None; of : the parties Involved were
willing; to turn state's evidence. ,It wan only
