GAGE AND GUY RESULT OF A CAUCUS OF THE SOLID NINETEEN, Judge McFarland Smiled Upon Them, but Did Not Sing Any Old Siren Song at All. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 23—The San Diego dele- gation, consisting of nineteen members, heid a caucus to-night and decided to cast | a solld vote in favor of Henry T. Gage | for Governor and W. R. Guy for Attorney | General. The subject of Supreme Court nominations was discussed without result. Just as the caucus was dissolving Judge McFarland entered the room, but did not | address the delegates. He was willing to | leave his speech to the imagination of the caucus. In regard to the course of the delega- | tion toward candidates other than those for Governor and Attorney General, It was decided to use h information as | might be obtained by investigation of the | merits of aspirants.” A steering commit- tee was therefore appointed to make ob- servations and report to the caucus to whether the campaign committee should adjourn sine die -and pass out of exist- _ ence. . It was moved by Dr. Ragan that no nominations should be made by district conventions for State offices. This was unanimously carrifed. 'Then the commit- tee indorsed the candidates of the Sacra- mento convention and pledged their sup- port, though there was suppressed wrath | in the doing of it. When this part of the pill was swal- lowed the entire committee came together and tendered a vote of thanks to Major Harney for the noble stand he made at Sacramento and for the good work which he undertook in their behalf. But one thing the committee did not do and that was to adjourn sine die. This proposition received some discussion and the great majority of the members stood firm In regard to the proposition that the party they represented was the genuine party and not a faction and that they should continue to exist. After a vote it was determined that an adjournment should be taken subject to the call from the chairman for future meetings. The entire general committee will be can- vassed, and the prevailing opinion as to whether the party should organize for the municipal fight or not will govern the determination of the campaign committee in regard to the preparation for the battle in_the local sea of politics. Every indication points toward the or- ganization of Major Harney's forces for the municipal fight. ALAMEDA COUNTY PRIMARY. OAKLAND, Aug. 2.—The members of the Third Ward Republican Club meet to-morrow to discuss the action they will take in the county primary election, to be held September 10. Theé club has 132 members. Crushed in a Cannery. Miss Marife Hynes of 313 Filbert street met with an accident yesterday afternoon morrow. This committee consists of A. G. Gassen, Charles Hardy, Dr. H. R. Arndt, E. S. Babcock and Judge E. S. Torrance. HARNEY’'S MEN ARE STILL IN ACTION CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE DOES ARE INTRODUCED = 000000000000 0000O FIRST VOTE NOT A TEST OF STRENGTH Pardes Attaches No Significance to the Election of Neff as Chairman. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 23.—There is no particular lesson to be learned nor inference to be drawn from the events of this afternoon on the floor of the convention. The vote as be- tween Jacob H. Neff and J. C. Camp- 0000O0OO0O0OOOO0OO ‘ bell was not a true test of strength between those who are seeking the first place on the ticket. Mr. Neff isa very popular man and is as good as he is popular. He is known and trust- ed from one end of the State to the other. It is perfectly natural that a ma- Jjority of the delegates to the conven- tion should wish to pay him the com- pliment of electing him chairman of the convention. Because of this the vote cannot be considered a test vote and cannot be taken as an indication of the result of the contest for the gubernatorial nomination. GEORGE C. PARDEE. —_———— BOARD OF EQUALIZATION. Edgar Briggs Looms Up as a Com- petitor With John Lackmann. CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 23.—kugar Briggs of San Francisco has announced himself as a candidate for the nomination for mem- ber of the State Board of Equalization from the First District. His opponent is Supervisor John Lackmann. The delegates comprising the Second Equalization District (San Francisco) met to-day and elected Percy Beamish chair- man and Henry Sonntag secretary.
