PAGES 29 TO 36 It has been announced on behalf of the Hearsttstate that if Taylor is elected the 25 story building at Third and Market streets, the plans for which were dra^ li Taylor is defeated, it is announced, the erection of the building will be/indefinitely postponed. Opponents of Taylor in Fight for Mayoralty Bear Brands of Hearst and Schmitz 66 ft MCCARTHY is for Schmitz; Ryan 2vM. /s f° r Ry an ? Taylor is for this W\ town." That was the way The Call sized up the mayoralty fight on October 6at the beginning of this campaign. • ;\u25a0 Now the statement needs amendment. Here is the way it should read to fit the situation as it stands today: "McCarthy is for Schmitz; Ryan is for Hearst; Taylor is for this town— and this town is for Taylor. It might be added that McCarthy is for Calhoun, though that is sufficiently stated when it is said that Mc- Carthy is for Schmitz. The star guest of "tried and true" Sheriff O'Neil is tried and convicted ex-mayor Schmitz. The agent and ally of Schmitz in politics is P. H. McCar thy; his chief ally in business — the kind of "business" that Langdon "hurts" — is Patrick Calhoun.. The trolley fran y chises that Schmitz helped to steal from the city were stolen * for and are now enjoyed by Calhoun. It is easy to see why Schmitz and Calhoun stick together— they have to stick together. Calhoun needs Schmitz to keep a shut mouth and to do dirty politics for him; Schmitz needs Calhoun to help him with money and lawyers and influence. so that he may keep out of San Quentin. Schmitz and McCarthy frame up a bogus ticket, label it "Union Labor," put McCarthy on it for mayor and McGowan, a Southern Pacific attorney and legislator, for district attorney. Schmitz dictated that ap pointment arid he did it for Calhoun and all the other in dicted boodlers. Also he did it for himself. If McGowan could be elected Schmitz would soon go free — free to ride in Calhoun's automobile again, free to make merry again at Calhoun's table as he used to do in the jolly days when they celebrated tKe grabbing of a new bunch of fran chises, drinking Calhoun's .wine and eating] Calhoun's food and laughing at the plundered people. With McCarthy and McGowan in office Schmitz ; could go into the franchise business again. Calhoun wants more privileges and there is a new plush lined box that wants * filling. Ryan is for Hearst. If he should be mayor he would be Hearst's mayor, which means the Southern Pacific's mayor. Ryan is branded with the Hearst brand, which is the brand of Cain. He is plastered ' with the Hearst car toons that killed McKinley. As the. price of Hearst's sup \u25a0 port Ryan has recanted his republicanism. He is traitor to his republican followers and renegade to the cause he led. A few weeks ago Ryan was loud and strong for Roosevelt and Roosevelt policies; now he is arrayed in antagonism to all that Roosevelt stands for. He is lined. up with Hearst * against Roosevelt and against everything that the law defying corporations hate and fear. Taylor is as he has been from the moment he was sud denly called upon to deliver San Francisco from the mis rule of the grafters and the bribing .'corporations— for this town and for nothing else. It is clear "now. that this town understands the situation and that it is for Taylor. Nobody handles Taylor. He is his own man and he is a bigger, better, stronger, abler man than] Ryan ever will be. The best thing that can be said .of Taylor— or of any decent man — is that Hearst hates him. Hearst's abuse is a certificate of good character and . aggressive honesty. Hearst's praise is enough to damn anybody and it never goes to anybody or anything for the . public good. If this town had not been for Taylor, Hearst's vilifica tion of him would have made it so. It will be a- joyous day for San Francisco when the election returns teH'of Taylor's victory. . \u25a0 , . - TEL. PARK 11S1 LESTER C.

Slanderbund Fails to Obstruct Langdon's March Upon the Strongholds of Graft * TT- ;^lTH]all;the mud guns of the slanderbund vol %/itv ../.'leying their filth at him and with every gumsKoe v r whisperer trying to poison the public mind against him, District Attorney Langdon is moving steadily and surely on to a victory that will vindicate San Francisco before the world. . .U ' With Calhoun and every other millionaire indicted for boodling. Langdqn is the main issue. The nch rascals caught in crime know that his re-election means vigorous prosecution for all of them, prison for some of them. They know that if they could elect McGowan they would be able to grin: at grand juries and to resume sneering at the law. McGowan has practiced law as the hired advocate of the Southern Pacific. As a legislator he never failed to hear the "toot-toot" signal. As district attorney he would serve with equal fidelity the interests that gave him the nomina tion—the interests, of Schmitz, who is in the county jail for some of his smaller sins, and the interests of Patrick Cal noun, who lives in ceaseless terror of joining Schmitz on the road to San Quentin. The ;slanderbund shows vividly how the rich rascals fear the re-election of Langdon. It furnishes columns and: pages of convincing arguments for the very thing it is paicl to combat. Dargie, the Oakland scavenger of journalism, is against Langdon— and when did Dargie ever promote anything that he thought would be for San Francisco's good?; . ::.;\u25a0\u25a0 (J The \ garbage men of the swill barrel weeklies around the bay : are all against Langdon— and when was any xA them ; ever;f6r decency^in public or .private .life? . They are notbig enough to be dangerous but tainted enough to give offense. At the same time they are now performing a ptib-i lie service in 'showing accurately what the big ' boodlers want and how they are trying to get it. They show that ! the [campaign cry of the looters is "anything to beat Lang don." They are helping in this way to continue -in office the man who; puts big, brazen, powerful thieves in prison, i The whisperers say in the merchant's ear: "Langdon He does hurt one kind of business and only one kind— Calhoun's kind of franchise business, the business of cinch ing the: people with high gas rates, high telephone rates^ high rates for every sort of public service. Every legitimate j business is helped by a prosecution. that is cleaning out the blackmailers ; and putting^an end to the looting of the city. \ Thebusiriessmen.of-the city know this. They know who| hires the .whisperers . and why.* .Therefore they, are paying ! no attention to the underground work of the boodlers. | They are for Langdon because they are all witnesses *to* what he has done— they see Schmitz and Glass in jail, Ruef \ a prisoner confessing, Calhoun and a company of million aires trying to dodge trial for felonies by_ the score. TKey j know that Langdon has done thisand that if he is re-elected ; he will complete the task and make San Francisco clean: Most of the people of San Francisco are honest. Most of them are against graft and grafters. Most of them want! to see this town made clean again. Most of them : under stand'that with Langdon as district attorney it will sdbn! be clean and that with McGowan it would soon be as graft ridden and as dirty as ever.
