90,000 VOTES
REGISTRAR'S
ESTIMATE
Total Registration for To
morrow's Election 146,673,
But All Are Not Eligible
There ought to be a total vote of
90.000 at tomorrow's municipal elec
tion, according to the figures of Reg
istrar of Voters Zemansfcy. The total
registration is 146,673. Of this num
ber 27,133 have been returned by the
postoffice department on account of
changes in address, so that the
greater portion of this number will
be unable to vote.
The registrar also subtracts from
15 to 20 per cent of the total for
those who are sick , or failure to vote
on account of other reasons. Ze
mansky calls attention to the fact
that the socialists have no regular
candidate, and that this may cause a
reduction in the vote of from 5,000
to 6.000, but even this, he says, should
make no reduction in the total esti
mate.
There are 673 precincts for this
election, the largest number in the
history of the city. Polls will be
open from 6 o'clock In the morning
until 7 o'clock at night.
Zemansky calls to the notice of the
voters a feature of the municipal elec
tion regarding the marking of the
ballot. In a general state election
the cross must be stamped opposite
the name of fTie candidate, but in this
election the cross may be either
stamped or written.
Former Mayor Edward R. Taylor in
a statement to the voters of the city
urges the support of the incumbent
supervisors, Caglieri, Hilmer, Kosh
land, Mauzy, McLeran, Murphy, Nolan
and George A. Connolly.
Members of the Builders' exchange
and the Olympic club held a Rolph-
McLeran parade Saturda ynight in the
interest of that candidate.
The offices to be filled are tax col
lector, police judge and eight super
visors, all to hold office for four years.
Tomorrow is the day when you
select the men who are to help rule
the city for the next few years. Re
member to vote early.

Elect Progressive Men Is
Plea Made by Mayor Rolph
Mayor Rolph has issued the follow
ing: statement to the people of San
Francisco, setting- forth his position
in regard to the candidates and urg
ing the citizens to support those who
will uphold his policies and carry on
the public work now in progress:
San Francisco, Nov. 8, 1913.
To the People of San Francisco:
I feel that it is my duty to im
press upon the people of San
Francisco the importance of vot
ing at next Tuesday's election.
Eight supervisors are to be elect
ed for a term of four years. There
are 119,540 net registered voters
and they should all take sufficient
interest in the affairs of this city
to perform their duty as citizens
and vote for the public officials
they desire entrusted with the
solving of big problems affecting
the growth and development of
San Francisco.
The welfare of San Francisco
vitally affects the self-interest of
every individual in this city.
As mayor, you have entrusted
me with 88,800,000 to build a city
hall and civic center, $1,700,000 to
finish the city and county hospital
(a heritage left to my administra
tion), and $3,600,000 to extend the
municipal railway—sl4,ooo,ooo, a
large sum of money, and I am do
ing all within my power to ex
pend it wisely and economically.
And you see the work progress
ing.
Your Geary street road is run
ning from the ferry to the ocean
and is a great financial success.
It had been talked about for sev
eral years, but it is now a reality.
It must be extended and finished
before the exposition opens, only
16 months hence. You need an
administration that will get ac
tion and not cause delay.
Are you watching the rapidity
with which your new city hall is
progressing? The steel is being
erected and the granite will soon
he on the ground. Please remem
ber the old city hall took 27 years
to build and cost many millions
of dollars more than the original
estimates.
If some of the criticisms ex
pressed on public platforms dur
ing the campaign just ending, by
some of the candidates for super
visor to be elected on Tuesday
next are a criterion of what they
would do as officials, I want to
say that they could block the
progress of the new city hall and
make it a repetition of the former
city hall.
And, "lest we forget, the ac
quirement of the necessary prop
erties of the Spring Valley Water
works, at the earliest date and at
the lowest possible price, for a
municipal water supply, is one of
my platfrom pledges, and I am
still struggling with this prob
lem. We could have purchased
the whole plant four years ago
for $35,000,000! I desire to see

a proposition submitted to the
people during my term as mayor
that will lead to the purchase of
these much needed properties at
a price fair to the city and to the
company. If San Francisco is to
be the city her destiny indicates,
the quicker we own our own
water supply the better off we
will be, and then the outlying
districts will get water and not
political "hot air."
Will you, my fellow citizens, go
to the polls Tuesday next and
elect eight supervisors, out of the
16 who are running, that you
feel confident will work with me
to carry out the progressive poli
cies of my platform for a bigger
and more prosperous San Fran
cisco, and enable me to finish up
the big jobs on hand? Won't you
just take the few moments neces
sary on Tuesday morning next to
go to your voting booth, and take
an interest in the welfare of your
city?
The canal is nearly ready for
commerce and the exposition will
open In February, 1915. Only 16
months hence.
Let us finish up our big munici
pal work by a harmonious city
administration, that will accom
plish results. Very respectfully,
JAMES ROLPH JR.. Mayor.

BISHOP OF LONDON
REPLIES TO SHAW
Whole Church of Capital
Rushes to Accept Challenge
of Playwright on Morals
LONDON, Nov. 10.—The controversy
on modern stage morals now being
waged between George Bernard Shaw
on one hand and the clergy of London
on the other is exciting great inter
est today. The bishop of London in his
sermon Sunday replied to Shaw's re
cent letter to the Times. The bishop
saidY
"Mr. Shaw challenges the whole po
sition of the church. I shall summon
the Christian forces of London to my
aid and we shall gladly take up the
glove he has thrown down. According
to Mr. Shaw there is no absolute
standard of purity If there is no such
a thing as positive morality, then we
have descended to a moral plane lower
than that occupied by many of the
most savage tribes of Africa."
