By JAMES ROLPH JR., Mayor of San Franclwo The whole state of California Is growing in population, and, like all other cities, San Francisco is getting her proportionate share of that in creased growth. Whatever can be done by the people of the state to help every city in the state should be done. That opportunity lies in the adoption by the people of the state on Tuesday next of constitutional amendment j No. 6. The existing boundary lines of San Francisco, defined half a century ago, cut off at this time, by reason of her small area, a great body of citizens who are desirous of having a voice in her affairs, of aiding in her future welfare. Surely, the people of the state of California will not deny this privilege by defeating constitutional amendment No. 6. San Francisco will welcome her peninsular neighbors whenever they choose to join her by their own ma jority vote thus expressed, and San Francisco will also welcome with them her transbay neighboring cities when ever they may express themselves of being desirous of coming within the boundary lines of the Greater San Francisco of the future. Constitutional amendment No. 6, when passed by the people of the state, will give one or all of these neighboring cities that priv ilege, when expressed by their own majority vote. It is not fair, by any attempt, to de feat constitutional amendment No. 6 and thus deny any or all of these cities the right to decide these matters for themselves. No one has any right to defame the good name of the city of San Francisco by flooding the state with scurrilous literature, handbills and bill posters for self-seeking ends so clearly manifest by such tactics. Did the people of the state not see enough of these tactics when they were simi larly misled when asked to defeat the India Basin act? I know they will re sent these unwarranted tactics now di rected against the good name of the city of San Francisco, the world's ex position city, that belongs to the whole state. Greater San Francisco exists totlay in all but an incorporate form of gov ernment, and the passage of this con solidation amendment No. 6 will pave the way for greater San Francisco to become a reality, but only after a ma jority of the citizens of our neighboring city have had an opportunity of ex pressing themselves as favorable to so doing. Every San Franciscan and every loyal Californian, in my opinion, should vote "YES" for amendment No. 6 on Tues day next, and I know that a great ma jority of the people of the state will do so, as/tn act of justice and fairness to the exposition city and to all other cities of the state, who may desire to do likewise in the future. Whatever helps San Francisco surely helps every city around the bay of San Francisco and the whole, state of Cali fornia. I know, and have always so expressed myself, that whatever helps every other city in the state also helps San Francisco. On the eve of the opening of the Panama canal the whole state should pull strongly for every measure that will help any particular section of the state, or any city In the state, or the state as a whole, and thus reap the benefits that will come from the com pletion of that gigantic undertaking. I am strongly in favor of constitu tional amendment No. 6 and hope it will be enacted by the people at the election on Tuesday next. Registrar Answers Charges Registrar J. H. Zemansky made reply yesterday to the charges of fraudulent registration in San Francisco, made by Oakland newspapers. He said: "The attempt to discredit San Fran cisco's registration is based solely on the assertion that 20,000 sample ballots sent from the registrar's office have been returned undelivered. The premise is as false as the conclusion. "San Francisco has the cleanest registration it has had since my con nection with this department, and that is since ISBI. Dess than 10.000 sample ballots have been returned by the post office. This Is below the normal figure. "San Francisco is remarkable for the number of its people who live in hotels and apartment houses. These people move frequently. There is also a large floating population, as there Is In every large city. Of the voters not found at their given addresses a great number will not lose their votes. Many of them have simply moved from one hotel or apartment to another in the same precinct. Some, of course, have left the city, but I defy any man to And one single case of "colonization" or other fraudulent registration in this city. J. H. ZEMANSKY, "Registrar of Voters." SMART SET SHUNS GOLF FOR POLITICAL SPEAKER Fashionable Audience Hears Mrs. Atherton in San Mateo SAN MATEO. Nov. 2.—The doctrine of Woodrow Wilson as propounded by Mrs. Gertrude Atherton proved more popular today than polo, and society women from surrounding towns gath ered to hear her discuss campaign issues in Hart's theater. Mrs. Osgood Hooker, who presided, was introduced by Mrs. Charles F. Mc- Carthy, president of the San Mateo Woman's club- Mrs. Hooker and Mrs. McCarthy are members of the demo cratic woman's state campaign com mittee. Mrs. Atherton's arguments In favor of Wilson and her attacks on the third term party were received enthusi astically. The audience filled the thea ter to capacity and was composed almost entirely of women. Among the Hillsborough women present were Mrs. Walter Martin, Mrs. Arthur H. Redtng ton, Mrs. George H. Howard, Mrs. R. G. Hooker, Mrs. Thomas A. Driscoll, Mrs. George R. Shreve. Mrs. Norris K. Davis, Mrs. Raymond B. Splivalo and Mrs. Adrian Splivalo.

PRISONER ARREBTED — Herman Dickholts. alias John Llnar, was arrested last night by r>etectlT<s George Regan on advice from Chi cago, where the prisoner Is wanted for jump ing his bail on a charge of receiving stolen goods. He will be returned east. Measure Would Muddle Situation, Says Mark L. Requa OAKDAND, Nov. 2.—Mark D Requa, president of the Tax Association of Alameda county, said today that he was opposed to the. consolidation amendment for several reasons, chief among them being his belief that such a merger as the one planned would add confusion to the situation. "There has been no detailed or expert examination made to determine if the move is wise," said Requa. "There is nothing offered save a maxe of gen- ( eralities, into which the citizens of Alameda county are invited to plunge In the expectation that the change .will be a panacea for all city and county government ills. "Alameda county should hold aloof from all entangling alliances and should resolutely set itself to the task of obtaining the highest possible type of city and county government from both a civic and an economic stand point When this has been done it may be time to discuss consolidation, if the investigations show that there is wisdom and economy in such a move. It is unwise at this time, how ever, to risk our own contemplated amendment for more efficient govern ment by entangling ourselves in a pro gram that is not well defined and has no definite end in view. "The campaign about to be under taken by the Tax association looks toward a consolidated charter for Ala meda county. When this is undertaken it will be with a corps of experts, whose report will command respect, and in the end there will be submit- ted to the people two documents —one the proposed form of charter, the other the exact figures showing what it is costing now and what it is esti mated to cost under the new plan." Another squadron of speakers is to be dispatched by the Alameda County league to present the last arguments of the campaign to the people of the Santa Clara valley. The men will leave on a special train and will go as far as Gilroy. Upon their return the men will touch at Santa Clara, Palo Alto. Redwood and Burlingame. making their last stop at South San Fran cisco. Printed matter will be distrib uted along the route and speeches will be made at all stopping places. The squadron which left today for San Rafael and other cities in that section has been well reecived. "Quotation Garbled" Editor Call: In the appeal to the people of the state of California issued by the San Francisco Chamber of Com merce and other organizations in be half of amendment No. 6, there appears a garbled quotation from a letter at tributed to "Mr. Capwell, one of the leaders of the opposition," quoted to show that the opponents feared the vote of the people. It has been characteristic of much of the literature issued by the proponents of the amendment that it states only part of a proposition when a full state ment would put a different light on it, and in this case they do not hesitate to split a sentence square in the mid dle in order to carry out their purpose of misrepresentation. The quotation referred to is "Those having the greater material interests on this side of the bay oppose having the question of consolidation put before the people to vote upon," the omitted portion of the sentence being "because the constant bringing up of the propo sition jeopardizes the sale of bonds that have already been voted for public improvements now begun and under way, at the same time arresting de velopment through private enterprise.'' We are not afraid of the result of the vote of the people on a question of annexation, but, as Mayor Mott well says in his address to the people, "Its (the amendment) adoption will be followed by recurrent elections, pro ducing a chaotic condition which can, in the very nature of things, result In nothing but stagnation of public and private development." And the truth of the matter Is that, though annexation be repeatedly voted down, we would be left worse off than we are at present, because the amend ment. If adopted, will prevent our form ing a city and county government as permitted under the constitution as it stands. We are therefore justified in opposing this amendment, no matter how many other steps may precede actual annexation. The San Francisco bodies make much of the fact that the proposed amend ment is merely to permit San Francisco to extend her boundaries, but they do not say a word about the rights it takes away from other municipalities. Because she is in a situation that needs a remedy, one must be found; but it should not be by making the constitu tion the possible means of sacrificing such a city as ours. Yours truly, H. C. CAPWELL CO. "Letter Misconstrued" Editor The Call: Our attention has been called to a letter recently appear ing in two San Francisco" morning papers that purported to have been written by us. Comment is made on the letter to the effect that we have attempted to use the school children of California for political purposes. It is certainly unfortunate that in the heat of a political campaign men will resort to practices utterly un worthy of American citizenship. In this instance some designing person has committed forgery to accomplish his purpose. By changing the wording of a personal letter written by us to our fellow superintendents he has made it appear that we are attempting to influence the school children of Cali fornia for political purposes through a cunprol letter As a matter of fact our aim. as stated in our letter, was to reach the school people (who are citizens) and to place literature in their hands.. Our letter was never intended to urge those to whom it was addressed to do anything improper. That it was not so taken is proved by the fact that more than half the superintendents, including those in the most prominent centers, replied asking for literature. We hereby denounce the outrage that has been perpetrated, and appeal to all good citizens to rebuke such political methods. WIDD C. WOOD. GEORGE W. FRICK, J. W. McCDYMONDS.
