I will any this:' I wanted to break away from Hchniidts before his a year ago last November, and said to him: I sin sick of the whole thing and I want to get out. I cant stand for all these labor union bums you have gathered around you and will appoint. They would eat the paint off a house. In answer the mayor begged me to stay with him and put up the argument .that these fellows must be allowed their share, or we could never bold the machine together. There was all too mncb truth In that. I stayed with Schmltr and 1 stayed with the machine, that I at great labor and pains had bnilt up and then I found that I had taken n step away from the high and dean Ideals with which, I earnestly assure you, I originally entered the political field. I found in short that to hold this machine together, I had to permit and connive at corruption. In this state of affairs, existing It was necessary, but myself never ask-e- d a dollar of any man, never took n dishonest dollar from the public. The things I did were things that hurt no one. Warned the Boodlere Against Crookedness. "Before the boodle board of super visors was elected, I warned them against crookedness In office.

But I found 1 could not carry out my threat and keep the machine from going to pieces. Bcbmlts was right about that "And to much of this corruption was needless. Needless I mean from the giver's end of the ideal. Take for Instance the trolley franchise. Every body wanted the street railways electrified. There would have been no opposition If the application had been merely and customarily laid before. the board. It wodld have been grant-edBut the press of San Francisco had taught the public to believe that every office holder was a crook; thst the whole city government was rotten from skin to core; that no privilege could be obtained unless it were paid for. It Is strange that those systed matic attacks, though frequently on nothing more tangible or truthful than personal suspicion In private quarters, should have led the corporations astray as to the real situation. The officers of corporations are not bad men. They do not belong to tho criminals. They are no more desirous at committing the crime of bribery than the newspapers or the public desire that ft should be permitted. But franchises are necessary to the conduct of their business and when they are taught to believe that such privileges can not he obtained without the use of dishonest means they adopt bribery.

"And so It goes.1 Suppose that the United railroads sent word that there were $2,000 nr 13,000 apiece for the supervisors If the supervisors would call at the United Railroads offices and suppose that those supervisors trooped up there one by one and took tbe dirty money.
