Upon mature reflection, I concluded that the subject of a nominee for Governor could be safely left to the Republican State Convention, and, therefore, I have not_as much as protested against tne sending of a solid delegation to Sacra- mento in support of Mr. Gage. “It is my judgment now, as it was when I entered the contest for the United States Senate, that the nominee for Gov- ernor should be a clean, strong man from one of the bay counties. I know that such a nomineé would command the full Rogubllcnn vote of Southern California. “In a conversation I had with Mr. Val- entine, who may be a candidate for Speaker of the Assembly, I said to him, as a friend: ‘Do you expect that Mr. Gage of Los Angeles will be nominated for Gov- ernor, Judge Willlams of Ventura for the Supreme Court, Mr. Guy of San Diego for Attorney General, Mr. Reeves of San Bernardino for State Treasurer and, after all these nominations have been secured. | & Los Angeles man will be chosen Speaker f the Assembly? I told him that the Republicans of the northern end of the | State would expect some recognition from | the convention. “It will be no easy task for the Repub- licans to carry Callfornia. To insure suc- ¢ tho gubernatorial nominee must be an able, active and popular man, who will command the full strength of the party in every section of the State.” NON-PARTISANS ORGANIZE.

FORD MAKES A NEW COMBINATION Now in Los Angeles With H. T. Gage. SOUTHERN MANAGERS UNEASY FEAR THAT THEY WILL LOSE THE SENATOR. Plans Are Being Laid to Bring a Solid Delegation From South of the 'wehachapi Line. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 12—The political Mecca of the politiclans south of Te- hachapi was to-day honored by the pres- ence of Tirey L. Ford, Republican candi- date for Attorney General. His coming has not only created a stir among the local politicians, but it has also strength- ened materially the belief that the plans of the managers of Henry T. Gage for forming a combination with other candi- dates is being carried out. Senator Ford has apartments at the Hollenbeck, the headquarters of Mr. Gage, and the fact has been commented upon by many of | the more liberal minded friends of the local candidate for Governor. They are and county officers, one for every 75; for local conventions, one delegate to every 00. The committee believed that a primary election law would be in the interest of good goyernment. There was some discussion of the re- port, which was adopted, and Max P per ‘offered some laws of other & bearing on the subject as an assistance to the committee of nve to be appointed by Judge Bridgeford for the drafting of a law to be submitted to e consideration of the joint committee. Judge Bridge- ford will notify the persons to be ap- pointed on this committee. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the chair- man. DWYER IS TO MAKE i HARNEY’S FIGHT The Opening Session of the Demo- cratic Convention Will Be a Very Lively One: J. J. Dwyer will champion the cause of the Harney faction of the Democratic party at the State Convention next Tues- day. As he is thoroughly familiar with the records of the self-constituted reform- ers, who dominate the McNab Committee of One Hundred, and as he is known to be a hard fighter, the opening session of the convention will surely be lively. Dwyer is out against the ‘“Whispering™ Boss on every proposition the latter is try- ing to put through and the battle will be- gln as soon as Chairman Alford of the tate Central Committee calls the con- vention to order. The Harnevites want an impartial Democrat for temporary chairman =o that they will not be shut out by the appointment of a committee on credentials ngch is opposed to them. s FUSION WINS THE DAY. Sacramento Democrats Decide Combine and Indorse Maguire. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 12—The Demo- cratic County Convention met to-dey and consummated a fusion with the Silver Republicans and the Populists. The ses- sion was rather a stormy one, the prin- cipal fight being made against fusion. The nominations made were as follows: Assemblyman, Twenty-first District, W. P. Forsman; Sheriff, J. M.

This will be all the more réadily manjfested when the voters stop to consider that they were allowed 1o part in the selection of the delegates. Dr. Pardee plainly told them he would nof_trust those of them whom he knew to be his friends to choose their dele- gates, but insisted on foisting upon them such henchmen as he saw fit to name. Dr. Pardee has lost many Republican votes because of his unfortunate selec- tions, but he hopes to more than offset them by the Democratic heelers he has drawn fo his support. Hundreds of Dem- ocrats in Ozkland alone refrained from signing their own club rolls, but mstead openly joined the Republican ward clubs solely to help Pardec out. —_———— Get a copy of to-day’s News Letter., contains seventeen handsome views the L O. columbarium. —_———— The summer girl looks happy, but the cow standing knee-deep in a pool looks happier.

WILL HOLD A CONVENTION SEPARATE DELEGATION TO BE SENT TO SACRAMENTO. Santa Clara County Good Government League Repudiates the Fraud- ulent Primaries of Wednesday. ! Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Aug. 12—The delegates of the Gocd Government League will repudiate the Rea Republican county convention and with a full list of dele- | gates nominated by the league organize a convention of their own at Ruther- ford Hall to-morrow morning. This ac- tion was unanimously sanctioned by a large and enthusiastic meeting of the Good Government League this after- noon. Not only this, but the league will send its Congressional and State delegations to Sacramento to contest the seating of the Rea delegates. The grounds on which the contests wili be made are ballot-box stuffing, illegal voting of Democrats and other gross election frauds. Stirring speeches were made and at times the applause was so loud at the meeting as to be heard down on the street. |~ This actlon of the Good Government League, if sanctioned by the State Cen- | tral Committee and State convention, will prove the death knell to “Jim” Reaism in Santa Clara County. Honest and Independent Republicans and the public generally, since the expose of ballot-box stuffing and frauds perpe- trated by the Rea forces at Wednes- days primaries, have urged that the league do this. The Good Government League meet- ing this afternoon was long and en- thusiastic. The greatest unity pre- | vailed, and one expressed wish of the speakers was to adopt such drastic measures as would rid the Republican party of Santa Clara County of cor- ruption and political bossism. Things waxed warm when the following reso- luticn was offered: Resolved, That on account of flagrant | frauds perpetrated by emissaries of the gang in almost every precinct in the county during the primary election of the 10th inst., we, the Good Government League, repudiate the election and any action which may be taken by the con- vention to be held on August 13, and earnestly request all members of this good government and stanch Re- purity, to remain away from said | publicanism, convention. It was adopted unanimously. The delegates-elect to the county conven- tion jumped to their feet all over the room to speak to the resoiution. They were all ready for the fray and wanted to go to Sacramento to fight it out at the State Convention. It was stated that School Trustee M. J. Graham, who had always been a Democrat, voted at the Republican pri- | mary and was elected a delegate to the Republican County Convention. The question of the Good Govern- ment League delegates holding a con- vention of their own was brought up and the following resolution unani- mously adopted: Resolved, That the delegates elected to the county convention do not attend, but meet at 10 a. m. on August 13 and or- ganize by electing a temporary chairman and adjourning until the 27th day of Au- gust, which is four days after the meet- ing of the State Convention. The applause had not died down be- fore this resolution had been unani- mously passed: Resolved, That believing we have been defrauded of our rights in the late pri- mary election, it is_the sense of this meecting that we do contest the election of delegates to the State and Congres- sional conventions. The following statistics, evidencing the wholesale voting of Democrats at the primaries, were read at the meet- ing: Voteat Vote for Precinct— Primary McKinley Jefferson 68 [:4 Milpitas us Oak Grove . 6 Orchard . % Rucker 25 Santa Clara 285 Solis . 52 University 128 Burnett 89 Cottage G 35 Cupertino ..... 43 East San Jose 14 Evergreen 83 Franklin 55 *Gilroy 13 Six precincts in the supervisoral dis- trict represented . by Elmer Rea, a brother of “Boss” Rea, show a gain of 175 over the vote given McKinley.
