McCarthy Addresses Meetings in Mission
than he took a trip to Europe, where
he carried American passports and had
the protection of the United States gov
ernment.
After declaring that the organization
led by himself had wrested the repub
lican party from th<» control of the
Southern Pacific railway Ryan said of
himself and Ms associate candidates:
*'^*c are the nominee* of a party un
bofsed and unpledged, and, thank God,
\u25a0we are not accountable to Mike de
Young. James D. Phelan or Fremont
Older. We are not Indorsed by the Bul
letin, Tvhich is one of the surest signs
that I will be elected. We are not in
dorsed by the Chronicle. No candidate
It ever indorsed was elected. We are
not indorsed by The CalL I never saw
one of its children grow to manhood.
I am free to administer the government
of San Francisco for the benefit of all
the people, ami I will do it if you will
give me the importunity."
Ryan next took up the financial ques
tion. I£» declared that the whole world
•was suffering from lack of money and
said that when "the ftress was over
would come to San Francisco
and not before. He argued that If the
election of Dr. Taylor meant industrial
! strife and the election of P. H. Mc-
Carthy meant industrial stagnation,
the people should take a middle course
and elect the candidate "with whom
ilsbor has noVqnarrel and of whom cap
ital has no fear." He concluded with an
eloquent picture of San Franciscans
standing shoulder to shoulder, working
.together building a greater and grander
city than the one of old.
TAYLOR IS FOR RTAX
Several speakers addressed the audi
ence before Ryan arrived. Among them
.was A- D. Porter, organizer of the
'boiler makers' union. Porter said that
while he had been a delegate to the
labor union party's convention, he was
v now body and soul for Ryan. He had
.bolted the labor party ticket because
he "could not 6tomach the bulldozing
airs that P. H. McCarthy gave him^
self." and because he disliked the
methods of the convention which nom
inated the labor union leader.
"If you elect P. H. McCarthy." Por
ter said, "you'll have Industrial peaje
all rlgrht, because you'll have nothing
to do."
At the conclusion of Porter's talk,
the chairman started to speak with the
•words. "Whom have we behind Ryan?"
when he was interrupted by a voice in
the body of the hall calling "Porter!"
"Yes, and we have the laboring man
with Porter behind our candidate," said
the chairman.
"Yes, and the Southern Pacific as
sang out another voice. The
chairman denied that, saying, "It was
the republican party that drove the
Southern Pacific out of politics of this
Ftate as no other party has ever been
able to do."
RUSH BROJTSOX'S APPEAI*
Rush Bronson of Monrovia appealed
to the people of San Francisco to stand
by the republican party.
"Dan Ryan, the nominee on the re
publican ticket," he said. "Is making
rhe greatest one man fight that has
ever been seen in this state — almost in
this country. The democracy of Cali
fornia now stands for none of the
things it once stood for, but Its alms
have narrowed till they mean nothing
but defeat for the republican ticket.
That is all the democrats of the city
and elate have at heart."
Dr. O. F. Westphal, candidate for
public administrator, promised all
those present that if they should die
while he was In office he would close
up their estates in a satisfactory man
ner. This hrought a laugh that lasted
\u25a0while the chairman was introducing
Edgar D. Pelrotto, who Is making the
fijrht for city attorney.
Pelxotto identified the republican
party -with the forces of good govern
ment the country over and said that
he had been unable to find any indica
tion of the much talked of landslide
away from the ranks of the party.
The speaker Insisted that the public
t-<=rvice corporations could be made to
jcive the city a decent telephone and
car sen-ice, and said that he thought
lie could make them do it If he was
elected. He added that he thought
the city of San Francisco was the most
law abiding community In the country,
nnd that while other cities and locali
ties tried to hide their shame San
Krancisco cut out the sore and at
tempted to heal matters In the only
sensible way. The speaker also said
that In his opinion the trend of the
people at present was toward the ranks
r.f the party and not away from it.
as has been stated In the publio press.
James F. Brennan also made an ap
peal for party loyalty. Brief talks
•were made by John J. Deane, A. G.
Frank. George A. Turner, Dr. R. B.
Hartley. Joseph I* Taaffe and Charles
Crelghton.

biny. Inside the hall the spirit was
Ryanlstlc. i but many persons who
warmed themselves by. the bonfire did
not venture- in the halt The reception
afforded Ryan ana his colleagues was of
the usual order — long, silences punctu
ated by outbursts of applause and
whistling. Ryan spoke early, and fol
lowing his departure.to Walton's pa
vilion many of the auditors left the
hall. Others, disappointed by the non
arrival of Langdon, left a few minutes
lat*r. and at. 8:30 o'clock the chairman
was forced to call an adjournment.
RYAN HdXORS TAYLOR
Ryan said In part: "I honor Dr. Tay
lor; I ; respect him. But was he not
chosen by the big stick? And although
I do not criticise this method of choice
I call it f un-American. Phelan and
Older are responsible for_ the selection
of the venerable man. .' Remember that
he has passed his summer and has de
scended into the valley of the hoary,
frosts of winter. Such a man is unable
to grapple with the tremendous \ prob
lems which will confront the next
mayor of this city,' What you want is a
young, man, full of life and strength.
- "Speaking about the stringency of
the money market. I want to ask y«u
what would happen If Taylor should
die tonight. Don't be deceived by this
talk that he is the, one man who can
maintain and obtain the confidence of
eastern capital. This talk about the
stringency of the money market is true,
but the fact of the matter is that all
over the country money Is in greater
demand that ever before In the history
of the world.
"Taylor predicts that If McCarthy Is
elected there will be industrial stagna
tion; McCarthy says that If Taylor Is
elected there will be industrial war
fare. In the event of my election there
will be neither. And while it may be
true that both of these candidates are
wrong on their predictions why risk ex
perimenting? This is too grave a crisis
In the history of San Francisco.
"My administration shall be an en
deavor to promote a good spirit among
all classes, a working together of all
classes for the benefit of every one
concerned. I will see to It that the
United Railroads provides sufficient fa
cilities for carrying passengers, and I
will do my best in every way to make
the people of San Francisco happy, gay
and free."
Notes of the Campaign
and Candidates
E. L. Cutten, democratlo and Good
Government league candidate for treas
urer. Is setting a campaign pace that
is the marvel of the old time poli
ticians. Cutten Is a businessman,
senior member of the firm of B. M.
Atchlnson & Co. The announcement of
his nomination for 'treasurer by the
democrats and Good Government
leaguers In his dally paper was the
first intimation Cutten had that he was
In politics. He accepted the situation
gracefully, pulled off his coat, and as
a gumshoe campaigner has his Juniors
driving under whip to keep within the
distance color. He covers miles of ter
ritory daily, visits factories and mounts
construction work to meet the men.
He modestly describes his personal
campaign by saying: "I am working
doing the best I can."
Charles A. Bantel, union labor nomi
nee for assessor, refuses to put up
the customary 6 pet- cent assessment,
saying that he took the nomination
with the understanding that he was not
to be, assessed. In regard to his fight
he says: "It seems as If I was made
to go up against hard ones, but they
can't be too hard for me."
Leon de Bernard!, "king of the news
boys." is reported to have |1,000 to bet
on Langdon at liberal odds.
Daniel A. Ryan addressed a crowd
of about SOO yesterday at noon at Third
and Berry streets. His crowd was
nothing like what Schmitz used to draw
in that locality, but the Ryanites are
very much elated with the enthusiasm
shown and the number of Ryan but
tons exhibited In the crowd.
Sheriff Tom CNeil's campaign cards
describe him as "tried and true."
Schmitz, O'Nell's friend and star board
er, has beat him to it by at least a
length. The ex-mayor's motto might
be, "tried and convicted."
Colonel T. V. Eddy, who made
speeches for Eugene E. Schmitx two
years ago, Is going to stump the city
for P. H. McCarthy.
"I look for 20,000 straight union labor
votes," said Chairman Thomas F. Finn
of the union labor county committee
yesterday. McCarthy will pick up 5,000
or 6.000 outside votes, and that means
victory, as Ryan could sleep the rest
of the campaign and still poll 9,000
or 10.000." . , . . • '
The John J. Grief club, organised to
advance the interests of the republican
candidate for, tax collector, will hold
its next meeting Wednesday, October
23, at Native Sons' hall. Gough and

MISSION MEETINGS
Centers Attack on Capi

Schwabs' Visit:':
INTERRUPT SPEAKER
Dissatisfied Union Man
Quizzes Him From-the ;
Rear of Hall
" With general enthusiasm' but also
with "back talk" arid " .denunciation
from the : rear of. a hall, P. H. McCarthy,
conducted three meetings In / the ; Mis
sion last night. The union" labor can
didate for mayor; had pruned" his;re
marks - to some extent and; his speech
was not " the series .of : rank charges
against the capitalists of j the city « that
his others had been. -But he' based, his
address largely on Spreckels,', Phelan
and;De Young, as ;; usual; and" intro
duced a new; capitalist in the- person
of Charles: Schwab,; president of : the
Union Iron works,:, who, McCarthy/pre
sumed, would advocate today * the elec-"
tion of Mayor Taylor^ on pain" of - new
calamities for San Francisco. "
! A general- stampede * was threatened
at the union labor party meeting held
in Ressor's. hall; Mission street and
, Silver avenue. In vigorous and ' em
phatic language. McCarthy, | who -had
just begun . his speech, -was .'denounced
by a spectator in the' rear ; of the hall
as an ally of Patrick Calhoun. It is
understood that the spectator is -one of
the numerous union men who have de
serted the ranks of union labor for 'the
reason hinted at last night in the state
ment that McCarthy did not "speak
right." Order, was | obtained finally
with the ejection of the | unruly < union
man from the halL •'
This is the way it came about. Mc-
Carthy asserted that the' purpose of
Chief of Police Biggy in compelling
policemen to work 12 hours and' in dis
tributing them in great numbers" in the
Mission district was- solely In • order
that union men might' be compelled to
pay their nickels to Calhoun.' At "this
juncture a man in the rear of the' hall
cried out. "You yourself helped : to
make the. union men pay. J Why don't
you talk right?" .
VThe man who stands up for Cal
houn ought to- flogged in the worat
kind of a way," McCarthy thundered
back.
And the echo was this — "That's P. H.
McCarthy."
Pandemonium broke loose and for the
time fears were entertained for the
safety of the daring accuser. Cheer 3
for McCarthy; combined . with weird
whistling, rent the air and drowned
the constant calls, for "order." After
five minutes had passed, during which
time the McCarthy, supporters were
given opportunity to vent their patriot
ism for their standard' bearer, the howl
ing subsided and McCarthy continued
his speech. . :
He promised his auditors that if lie
were elected mayor, he would take fran
chises away from, private corporations
and give them to the city.
The largest meeting was held \u25a0 in
Wackenruder's hall,- Bernal heights, at
Wool street and, Eugenia avenue. When'
McCarthy arose to speak a little girl
presented him with* a bouquet of flow
ers. He began, with an attack . on De
Young, Phelan, Spreckels and otheri,
who "had their, hands at the throat of
the union * man and ; the small shop
keeper." He continued:
"As Benjamin Franklin said to^ his
associates In the continental congress,
when- the declaration of independence
was being signed, 'If wo don't hang to
gether we'll hang separately,' I " say
to you now -that if we don't hang to
gether in this campaign we will hang
separately .if • we are defeated, just . as
sure as there is a God in heaven.
"That one hundred million-dollar gen
tleman, Schwab, that honest gentlemen,
the president of the steel trust, ' c has
been. Invited to address-a meeting of
merchants tomorrow. He will- tell us
that, unless we elect Taylor mayor, 1 San
Francisco will. be the" recipient of earth
quake, fire and a Kansas cyclone. -He
will tell us that unless -we elect 1 Taylor
mayor San Francisco, will- receive no
money from New York - city. Why,
Hellman, that shrewd banker. •of i this
city, loaned >22,000,000 -of California
gold to New York city recently to save
it from a panic." :
McCarthy referred pointedly \u25a0 to : class
war that might come if Taylor were
elected mayor, declaring that iPhelan"
and De Young were trying to' beat the
union labor party at the polls by be
fogging the'issue of the campaign. "If
they down | unionism;" he ' continued,
"they will have to do It over; our bodies,
very:much alive, -, but very much hurt."
McCarthy received a hearty welcome
from a large >. number 1 1 of . 'voters in
Blanken's:hall ? near the Six-Mile- house.
He spoke :but a short time. His.'.re
marks included > a denunciation \u25a0' of
Spreckels,. Phelan. and .De Young,, and
he laid much' stress on the .presence of
Schwab, the steel tn»gnat<\ in the "city.
Frank McGowan, candidate for district
attorney, -promised the , voters that
there would .be no immunity : baths if
he, was elected and that no "millionaire"
could get control of his office. He want
ed' to ' know why. Langdon. continued to
delay in prosecuting Calhoun. He said
that If he was;elected,to;the office! of
district attorney he would prosecute
Calhoun. In reference to the statement
thatTaylor was wanted by : therpeople
and that ;the masses, were .crying 'for
him, McGowan said that if the -.voters
ehould gare behind the .scenes -they
would flnd'that the cry for Taylor came
from Spreckels, Phelan i and ;• be i Young,
whom-he alluded;' to as*"the.. men 'who
had placed the iron ~ hoels |of oppression
on the necks of the workingmen inline
dtjr." He said that Taylor was. simply
the Instrument by .which .Spreckels,
Phelan and De Young hoped ; to regain
control of the city. . _ ; •

carried. .
' The balloon, with a capacity of 78,000
