John Taylor Waldorf. . San Franclaco, 6pt 30. As the rs sult of a clever political trick the sup porters of the graft prosecutors are di vided and a three-cornered fight for ths. control of the city government is . certainty. P. H. MoCarth'jr 1 the man who brought this about. He led Daniel Jk. Ryan lo believe that If he accepted the Republican nomination he would be indorsed br the Union Labor party. Ryan swallowed the bolt but (wo da ye after he was nominated P. H. McCarthy took the labor nomination for himaelf. In a' few daya the Democrata will meet In' convention again and select. Mayor Taylor "as their standard bearer, and then Ryan will have to fight hard to keep himself from being caught between the upper and nether millstones. Ryan hesitated long before he decided ( to run ror mayor. m wanted tne nom : inatlon, but the pressure of Mayor Tay .. lor' Influential friends was strong and he feared to 'accept. At the critical moment his political agent. Perry New berrr. secretary of the Republican league, reported that the Union Labor Indorsement would not be hard to. oh tslrv This opened a glittering vista to the anxious candidate. According to 'the prophets of the Ryan camp a com : blnatlon of Republicans and lahorltes ; behind a clean and popular young leader wouia miKt victory certain, mewoerry ' called on P. H. McCarthy, spokesman of the "Big Six" combination, which had : tbtalnod control of the labor party con ; ventlon. McCarthy gave his visitor a , -rfirttial- reception, but when Newberry began, to talk coalition McCarthy re started to diplomacy. . " arrwberry Was Mistaken, "The Taylor men tell me they can control the Republican convention." he aid tn -Newberry..' "Under the circum stances we have nothing to talk about. Let Mr. Ryan first get his nomination. Then ws can talk business." McCarthy's smile was no bland and 1 his handshake so nereetlc that New berry went away convinced that the leader of the "Big 81s" was for Ryan, lie so reported at headquarters, and the next nignt Ryan was nominated for mayor, by, the Republican convention. That was Tuesday.; . The following niKht the followers, of ths "Biir ' Six3 held a caucus and agreed on P.' Ii. Mc Carthy ' their candidate for mayor. - McCarthy lost no time In getting Into ' the race. The following night, the cau , ms program was carried out and Mc Carthy was nominated.. , 1 Ryan met with serious opposition In Ms convention. The Taylor Republicans fought bard, declaring that Ryan's ac tion In seeking the mayoralty after leading a successful -primary battle for reform . made a jest of the Republican league's war cry of 'Citizenship above partisanship." Delegate hurled charges to and fro, defiantly, the minority shouted' "sag Is w -whenever the chair ruled against them, and the gallery cheered for Taylor. When the roll was called Ryan won toy vote of IS- to fit. .There had been talk of a bolt, but all the delegates remained in their seats, nd minority, and majority Ajnlted In - making- William- H Langdon the unani mous choice of the Convention for dis trict attorney. Although Langdon ap peared .

Friends of Langdon say that the rapid lessening of the' audience was due to the fact that ma'hy bf the visitors had attended the convention Just to see tne fight snd went home when It ended. That Taylor will cut heavily into ths merchant vote,- which has always been the main asset of Republican candidates for mayor, li conceded, but to offset this Ryan will be supported by many members of ths Union Labor party. The nomination of H. McCarthy re sulted In a bolt, which was lad by Thomas P. Eagan, chairman of ths county committee of the Labor party. About a score of delegates went out with Eagan. Before the bolt one of the Ragan men denounoed McCarthy as a representative of "Patrick Calhoun and the corporate Interests." This bellig erent individual was Jos .Sullivan, chairman of ths delegation from ths onlv district which Michael Cty car ried In the August primaries. Casey end Eagan are both members of the board of public works and they prioled Issues in the convention. Jos Siilllvan shouted defiantly to the majority. 'Tut up your nominee, and we'll best hint at ths poll." ; Sagas Turns to Xyaa. After the bolt Eagan announced that he would support Ryan for mayor. His followers will do likewise, Eagan la expected to take the stump-for-Ryan He la a rough and ready orator, la not sfrsld to face an angry crowd, and ran be counted upon to give P. H.

McCar thy during his long reign ss president of the building trades council, has Ynads many enemies, AU ver the ttity work lngmen are grinding political knlvea and threatening to do some fearsome carv ing once they get Into the ambush of a voting-bush. McCarthy's friends speak lightly of the bolt. "Those Yellows don't count for anything," they say. "Suppose they did. This is going to bs a three-cornered firm, we have ib.ouv votes In all. McCarthy -can lose 8,000 and still win. What Ryan gats from us will do him no good, lie will be lucky if he doesn't finish third In the raoe.'' The Democrats have about concluded that they must nominate Langdon for district attorney. Oavln McNab. boss of the Democratic machine, tried to get the Labor party leaders to agree on a fusion which would have made Joseph E. O'DonnelL a bright and highly-respectable young Democrat, Langdon's opponent, but the "Big Six'' Insisted on going it alone. The labor combine has not if t selected Its candidate for dis trict attorney, but the straws now In the air are blowing in the direction of Frank McUowan, a lormer state sena tor who made quits a reputation at the capital by his advocacy several years ago of labor bills. . The Labor party platform promises prosecution of all of fenders, confessed or unconvicted and -declares strongly against "wholesale immunity baths." MoQowan Indorses those sentiments and promises to make a hustling fight. If nominated. The friends of Langdon are planning a hot campa'gn for their favorite. They hope to get Francis J.

In the morning he preached a sermon on "The Triumphs of Enthusiasm," saying in part: "No ladlvldual nor organisation ever accomplished anything worth while that was not possessed with the vision of a great opportunity and fired with a con viction tha't It must and could be dons. It Is the very 2oundatlon of enthusiasm. A church or an Individual must believe in a mission and have an overwhelming conviction to accomplish that purpose. "A great success is only achieved by thoss who accept personal responsibility and then throw their whole soul Into the accomplishment of the work.

She accepted the opportunity, threw her whole soul Into the character and absolutely astonished audience and actors alike with her tremendous power. She held ths audience with .a hypnotio spell and her wonderful enthusiasm carrisd sverything before her. "It was enthusiasm which made Vic tor Hugo lock up his clothes while writing 'Notre Dame1 that he might not leave the work until It was finished.
