Increased enthusiasm. Everybody
cheered with a\\ his energy for Mayor
Taylor and District Attorney Langdon:.
Men who figure closely on nle.ctlon
ropults estimate that Mayor Taylor \u25a0will
receive 30.000 votes. This leaves Only
about 25.000 to be divided between P.
11. McCarthy. Daniel A. Ryan and the
socialist candidate. Not a day passes
without adding to the great army "of
republican? who intend to vote for Tay
lor. As for the democrats, they were
never more united than In .the present
campaign.
Then there are the thousands of labor
unionists who will vote against P. 11.
McCarthy because they believe he would
give the city bad government. All
these elements of strength'are increas
ing daily and there.are some politicians
who would not be surprised If Taylor's
vote reached the 25,000 mark.
SEXTIMEXT FOB UXfiDO.V
The sentiment In favor of District
Attorney I^angdon is sweeping along
like a tidal wave. Langdon's recent
speeches have included an apt illustra
tion of what would happen if Frank
McGowan. ornamenting the office of
district attorney, should try Pat Cal
houn under the anti-Immunity system.
Workingmen who have heard Lang
don present convincing pfoof that Mc-
Gowan would merely pave the way for
a dismissal of all charges against the
indicted streetcar magnate are now do-
Ing missionary work among their fel
lows, with the result that McGowan,
who was never very strongs Is steadily
growing weaker. Several be,tting men;
-niio never allow sentiment to run away
with their Judgment, have come to the
conclusion that Langdon Is the best 1
to 2 shot they have found in recent
years. Thej' are not only willing but
eager to put up their money at the
odds of ?2.000 to $1,000. as they believe
that Langdon's vote will be close to
10.000.
ni'AX OX THE SI«II>K
William R. Hearst's effort to stam
pede the town for. Ryan . is \u25a0 a popular
subject of quip and Jest. One wag
said yesterday: "The Examiner is mix
ing its prepositions. Instead of 'The'
slide to Ryan Is on* It means 'The
slide of Ryan is on.' Perhaps Hearst
ordered the change because an an
nouncement that Ryan was on the slide
would not be new. He has been on the
slide ever since he was nominated."
The press agents of Ryan are having
double work, for they are trying not
only to convince the people but also
themselves that their candidate is mak
ing formidable gains. The best they ,
c&a. Co Is to mention a dozen- or two
alleged converts, most of whom have
really -been with Ryan all the while.
This done they talk generalities 'and
wind up by : shouting "The slide! the
slide." like a man trying to dodge
an: avalanche.
ij*. H. McCarthy's campaign workers'
arfe. tetill telling everybody "This is a
cinch." but up to date they have not
distinguished themselves by backing
their claims with coin. "When they are
ofrered $100 to $70 they ask for $100
t<*;s6o, and when that Is forthcoming
they back up and say "We want 2 to 1."
As one betting man remarked yester
day, "A man with a cinch never side
steps."
Percy V. L*>ng, the good govern
ment candidate for city attorney, spent !
a great deal of the week Just closed !
in the Mission district. He declares
he found no perceptible change Inl the
TTaJior sentiment. "Voters in that sec
tfbh," he said yesterday, "are as firm
in their support of Dr. Taylor as they
were two weeks ago. All the claiming
and shontlng of the other two candi
dates during the past 10 days has not
altered the, situation. This. I think, is
significant. In no past campaign has
the sentiment for any one man re
mained so stationary. Usually popular
favor changes a dozen times in a cam
paign. This time it has remained al
ways for Taylor, changing only in, that
tt_, increases from day to day.
\u25a0"^One'thirig that Interested" me in the
Mission was the remarkable popularity
of, Lawrence J. Dolan, the democratic :
g<*bd government candidate for sheriff. ;
Hi has every other man in that section.
a<?Jively fighting for him. If he doesn't
carry the Mission by two to one against
both of his opponents I shall be sur
prised."
P.H. McCarthy Addresses Two
| Meetings With Usual Speech
Audiences Not Enthusiastic for the
Union Labor Candidate
P.' H. McCarthy addressed two meet
ing.-: yesterday and at both meetings
thert was a manifestation of cold re
serve by -the audience. In Siaplamat
aall, Folsom street near Twenty
fourth. McCarthy spoke for about, a
half hour and endeavored to explain
the cause of the trouble between team
ste.rp" union No. S3 and the building
trades council.
His efforts as a peacemaker were not
successful,- for a large number of the
men in the audience did not take part
In the cheering.
The union labor candidate rehearsed
Ihe trouble and said that it was the
fault of Michael Casey, whom he ac
cused of being a traitor and of being
pahl.by Dr. Taylor"s supporters for his
speeches against the union labor can
dlcttcs. . *-
Thomas Eagan was another who re
ceived an allotment of criticism from
McCarthy, he being accused of work-
Ing against the unions In the Interests
©f\Ryan. The epeaker told his audi
circe that both thexe men were em
ployed by the same clique- of- million?
slits and that It was another move to
van votes from McCarthy. Casey and
TSajran were also blamed for trying to
turn the untons against each, other.
McCarthy further said: "The only
tWng my. opponents can say about -me
Is my record as a labor organizer. They
ccpn»t.- accuse me of being dishonest
flttdihey have been unable to learn
t,hat I ever was guilty of dishonesty.
TJiey do say. however, "that I am not
t]jc choice of the union men. They lie,
for I am the choice of the union men,
s*i they will learn on the day of elec
tion."
-Patrick Calhoun. Spreckels, De Young,
Phelcn and Blggy were referred to in
.strong terms of denunciation. Mc-
Carthy eulogized all of the candidates
on the union labor ticket.'-;:
"Frank McGowan. candidate for dis
trict attorney, had his stenographer j
\u25a0with him to take his epeech, the pub
lication of which is being paid for.
;\Th!a meeting was presided over - by |
D. . Sayther. ".LThere was not time for all'j
of the candidates vto speak, co Me- j
Carthy put .In a good word ' for them, j

'/The other McCarthy meeting was
Jield yesterday afternoon at a hall In

which is used as ' a -synagogue. . Here !
McCarthy addressed ,'a- small audience. :
-He. told those'- present --that;-, he was a
sympathetic man; and would always
have "the people's' Interest *at heart., He
promised to eee~to.lt that conditions in

McCarthy further remarked that he

REV. CECIL MARRACK
PREACHES ON POLITICS
Advises Workingmen to Vote
for One Who Repre
sents All Classes
"On the one . hand stands a man
whose whole capital and hope of suc
cess lies in the effort to foment class
distinctions. On the other hand stands
one whose sympathies embrace men
of all types, professions and occupa
tions, one who knows no class distinc
tions but sees his fellow men as men
and values them at their , true worth.
The third man in the contest is not
to be counted; his spirit is .too child
ishly self-seeking." — Rev. Cecil Mar
rack.
Rev. Cecil Marrack, the rector of St.
Stephen's Episcopal church in Fulton
street at Fillmore, preached yesterday
morning on "The Moral Issues of the
Coming Election." Speaking on the
text, "I see men as trees'. walking," he
cautioned his hearers not to choose for
mayor of the city a "man who saw his
fellow men as trees through the mist
of class prejudice, but one whose sym
pathies were broad enough to embrace
all classes. He said in part:* .
"Our greatest need today is mutual
sympathy, charity and understanding
of one another. The . terrors of the
French revolution were brought on'by
the Ignorance of the French nobility,
which saw the peasants. only, as trees
or sus' clods 'of earth.. There, are those
in our midst -who predict. for;our fair
republic the gleaming blade, of the guil
lotine and the bomb of the terrorist.
They believe they see the conditions
ripe for a gre^t class struggle that
shall exceed In horror the excesses of
the French revolution.
"It is true that we have among us
the money king, who, as a matter of
business, sets out to corrupt officials,
but on the other hand there are many
men who have not sacrificed honor to
gain wealth. We have the demagogue
and labor agitator, but they are not
truly representative of labor. The bit-,
ter prejudices of those who excite the
feelings of class hatred are not char
acteristic of our best American work
ingmen. I have met labor leaders with
hearts as broad and sympathies as'wide
as any that exist.
, "It Is because of. this that I hold the
faith .that the workingmen. of San
Francisco in the next few days will
vindicate themselves, before the 'world.
I believe that they will recognize the
.worth of a true man even though lie be
a lawyer or a doctor instead of a car
penter or an iron worker.. It Is not
the name of any political party that
sliould concern us now. The Issue la
clearly between those who love the
light and those who choose the dark-"
ness. It is right against wrong. It is
prejudice against sympathy. It is love
j against hate.
"The workingmen of San Francisco
will show that they know that the dis
tinction between men is not based upon
the difference between broadcloth and
overalls, but that the only real distinc
tion Is between the children of light
and those whose deeds are done in the
darkness." -

Showing how^his'bank in.closlng while

laws of Nevada: \*
'By virtue of the new banking law, adopted by
the last : legislature :of . Nevada,.; if a - bank sus
pends .: buslacea ; while - yet accent - the * bank \u25a0*\u25a0 is
absolutely .protected. \u25a0The' depositors '.- cannot
precipitate a , run ion the * bank and withdraw
their money. . Each - and every depositor is com
pelled- to* wait; until, the business of the ' bank
can . be bo : shaped I that ! his : money j can*, be with
drawn without, the disastrous results that always
follow : a i run ion a bank. \u25a0' - Under - the new 'bank-
Ing Maw- neither ,\u25a0* the \ depositors nor '" the ; stock
holders have the | power to ; throw I the ' bank lnt*
the hands \u25a0of-i a; receiver." 'This .; power was ab
solutely, withdrawn ' by this law from ' the hands
of the depositors or other creditors, or : the stock
holders,; and vested exclusively. In the state bank
commissioners,', who are -the ? governor, : the ; sec
retary -of state; and-the '.state treasurer. .. The
bank commissioners:' are .'the : only persons who
can • initiate ; proce&ings :to have a ";- receiver
placed; in charge of a. bank's business, and they
can do I this only after the | bank . is ' adjudged in
solvents and : found to be conductlns its business
on unsafe lines, all of which Is met by, viewing
conservativoly.' the ' dangers ahead and suspending
business while -the bank Is j-et solvent. - -
.Under 'the new. banking law a depositor can
neither : initiate proceedings for the appoint

nor '\u25a0 can he ; cause ' the bank ' embarrassment by
attachments or -. Judgments, • as :. all these, are,
by the new \u25a0 law, •- rendered of no fore* ; or . effect
In so i far ; as ' one depositor may gain • any ; ad

As a - result ' of : the \u25a0 suspension the : bank jls
guaranteed ample - time nin. which, to realise on
its ,' assets. : It can call \u25a0:• In its : loans gradually,

any one with Indications of indigestion,

It Is A safe to say that never before
have San Fr&nclsco people had a more
generous piano -buying: opportunity
than now. The fine new stock of
pianos intended for the bis Market
street, store of Eilers Music Co. has
been put on;salcat greatly sacrificed
prices. WEsSBSffBBKtBi
Unable to. secure possession of their
new, building; which has been long de- /
layed in construction, '.^ these pianos. «^
which would have constituted one of
the finest stocks ever brought to San
Francisco, are being- sold at prices
below- what .the ordinary .dealer pays
for them. - . '
A $62,000 stock. . embracing some of
the- finest pianos known to -the piano
maker's art. will be sold for a> triflo
over 541,000 net to ptano buyers.* a
saving of one-third of the price of
any piano or Autopiano that may be
selected. It Is an opportunity that
comes but once in a lifetime.
Newspaper Adyertising Jest
' In getting rid of these pianos at re-
markably reduced . prices we propose
to make it the means of obtaining
advertising information that will be of
great value to us in future. In order
that we may test the ' circulation and
advertising value of the various news-
papers we have arranged for an al-
lowance of $67.95 on the first 73 pianos
sold.
In any one of the Sunday papers you
will find an advertising test coupon.
Cut out -this coupon, present it to any
one "of the Eilers salesrooms In San
Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley. Stockton.
San Jose or Reno, and it will be ac-
cepted the same as $67.05 cash toward
the purchase of any one of these fine
pianos, In addition to the reduced prices
above referred to. .
But, remember, only "3 of these cou-
pons will be accepted, and that you,
will have to come early to be one of
the fortunate ones. It is an unprece--^
dented offer, but It will be valuable in VI
showing us in future where we can
most profitably advertise. -
These unheard of. reductions in prices
will apply to every new -piano In our
stock. Including such , well known
makes of pianos as tb» Hazelton, the
Decker, Hallet & Davis. Klmball, Ho-
bart M. Cable. Lester. Autopiano and
more than a score of others.
Saw to Baj a Piano
; To thoroughly appreciate what piano
values we are now offering, the pur-
chaser should first make an examina-
tion; of pianos in other San Francisco
piano so that he may be in a
position to compare values. Many of
the' b6st Judges; of piano values, who
have made a - careful f examination of
plano3 in other ' San * Francisco stores
during the past week, testified to their
appreciation of our remarkable- price,
reductions by .buying at the Eilers
stores, and, mail" orders have been un- .
usual in their number.
If ; you want the grade up- ;
right piano' in the latest cabinet up-
right grand style It wilt be unnecessary
for you to pay $550 or $600 to get it — "
$235. $318, $342 and $36» will buy it.
'If you have contemplated " putting
$250 into the purchase of a piano you
can come here now and, get It for $164.
Without doubt this is the broadest and
most , liberal proposition/ever made by
a piano house on the Pacific coast, and
the person taking advantage of It will
be fortunate indeed,, "
