M'CARTHY SMILE FADES ,
WHEN HE IS DEFEATED
""We've Decided to Pot the Working People Back to Work,
Tim McGrath.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 7. (Ppe-il
With the clearing away of the
war clouds that overhung the pri
mary election, tn which James Rolph,
Jr was elected Mayor of San Francisco
over P. H. McCarthy. It haa been dem
onstrated thoroughly that the citizens
wanted a change and a change that
would mean throwing; out of power th
I'nlon Labor party. The Issue was
plainly defined as between the two
leading candidates. The handwriting
on the wall was sufficiently legible to
Indicate the defeat of McCarthy, but
hardly by such a crushing; majority
as given Ralph.
McCarthy, as a matter of facL car
ried but two districts tn fan Francisco
and those by small majorities. The so
called tenderloin was against him, one
of the dance-hail men explaining:
"Do you know, we'd like to get bark
a Mayor like Jimmy Phelan. Then we
knew Just how far we could go and
what we couldn't do. We were never
held up. Since then we have never
known Just where we stood. Sometimes
we were a wldeopen town and the
next week the lid would be on."
Of course Tim McOrath had some
thing to say. Tim always has some sort
of a bon mot for every occasion. When
the returns showed Rolph's victory he
said quietly:
We've decided to put the working
people back to work.
McCarthy osjever SKlled As si a."
The papers told very nicely of the
way Mayor McCarthy accepted his
crushing defeat. All those stories were
very nice. It was said that his was
the only smiling face In all his doterie
and it can be imagined that Leffing
well and Clove Dam and tha other
union men were not the happiest In the
world.
But the fact wsa that the Mayor Waa
anything but smiling when the returns
first showed his defeat. He waa as
mad aa a wet hen. aa the saying goes,
lie fumed and raged and when a news
paper reporter first went to him for a
statement, he had bis door slammed In
the man's face. It was afterward that
he managed to dig up the shadow of a
smile and to Issue his statement to tha
public
Others of the I'nlon Labor party fared
better, although not when the flgnt
was made a direct Issue. Harry I.
Mulcrevy ' re-elected County Clerk,
but he had practically no opposition.
There were someMl of the candidates
for Supervisors from the Union Labor
party who qualified among; the SC who

to retain office.
Canapalgm Cost Mark Money.
The Union Labor party will doubtless
elect several of Its ' strongest super
visorial candidates, but the Rolph peo
ple expect that they will name enough
to give the Mayor-elect a working
force In the government of the city.
That Is what they want to do and the
primary vote would Indicate that this
theory la a correct one.
The primary campaign was an ex
pensive one. It cost Rolph's backers
something like 170.000 and probably
cost the McCarthy organization as
buch If not more. The campaign for
District Attorney cost almost as much
for Hathorn's backers spent their
money like drunken sailors. An aver
age of $1000 apiece Is what most of the
Supervisors or would-be Supervisors
spent, so. all told, there was some coin
circulated In San Francisco.
And much of thia Is to be gone
through again.
The nett campaign of any moment
will be that Tuexduy. when the people
of the state vote on the constitutional
amendments. The proposed amendment
of most widespread eitereet Is that
which would give the right of suffrase
to the women.
In Southern California It Is expected
that quite a vote will be rolled tip In
favor of the amendment There have
been, likewise, some strong Influences
at work In this section In favor of giv
ing women the ballot. Dr. Aked. the
Congregational minister, has been a
factor In gaining support, as has Dr.
Jordan, of Stanford. Just how far this
