Tulare Register: It is not a matter for marvel that news- paper gentlemen comfortably ensconced in postoffices should not find much to criticize in existing political methods. There never was a reform of any sort inaugurated by sleek, well fed and prosperous gentlemen who are sleek, well fed and prosperous by virtue of the g00d office of some political patron. Never- theless, and despite the semi-conscious condi- tior. of a portion of the political press, the politics of. California, Republican as well as Democratic, is founded on confoundedly low ideals of civic virtues and are susceptible of being improved. Personally, Henry T. Gage is a cleaner and a better man than James H. Budd of questionable notoriety, but his_poli- ethods are little if any higher. sh politician and has filied public offices with much the same breeds of political cattle that mussed the stalls under the regime of his predecessor. It is true enough that Re- publicans have no occasion to apologize cratic precedent of the same quality, but the | Republican conscience of California is strenu- | ously opposed to the push political methods which Governor Gage has been pleased to em- ploy, and desires to give California an admin- istration upon a higher political plane. Now that we have a Republican National admin- | 1stration of an unwonted elevation of political | 1deals, it would be an opportune time to af- ford California just such another if the right { man to lead it can be found.

Thanks to the activities of John D. Macken- | zie and the lieutenants who do his bidding the | Republican party of Santa Clara County is in @ condition bordering upon chaotic. Saturday’s meeting of the Santa Clara County Republican League but increased the disorder, and unless the course of the disturbers be stayed and its cause removed the handsome majority of over 2000 that the party had in this county is des- tined to be wiped cut. The question before the Republicans of this valley is: Are you to suf- fer party defeat at the hands of spoflsmen who have made the party machinery of this com- munity a by-word? The majority of Saturday’s meeting was not representative of the Republican party of Santa | Clara County, no more than the inmates of the County Jail are representative of its citizen- shlp. They ahn yall. however, -and ‘caretully coached and under the leadership of designing knaves their yells can silence in a small room the voices of better men, the Republican party to_be lost in the yells of hoodlums? The great body of Republicans say no. Their party is representative of the county, and they do not propose to permit a handful of manipu- lutors to make it appear that a mob represents the party, or that it is under the dictatorship of corrupt men. The Republican party is not | corrupt, in spite of the appearance of corrup- | tion given it Saturday; its leaders are not cor- rupt, In spite of the assumed leadership of corrupt men. The great body of Republicans re not corrupt, they despise corruption; they stand for good citizenship and for the best in- | terests of their city, their State and their coun- | try, and for this reason will not follow the lead | of hoodiums, placed in undeserved power by hoodlum methods. These hoodlums have | brought confusion upon the Republican party | of this valley, a condition which local Repub- | lieanis can and will correct. but is the volce of f Santa Clara Vailey | San Diego Tribune: | ©Onme of the most shameful acts of Governor | Gage’s career of maladministration of State | affairs is the appointment, a few days ago, of “Johnny"’ Mackenzic of San Jose as a Har- bor Commissioner at San Francisco. The term is for four years and the salary is $3000 a year. The position is one requiring honesty; energy and business and executive ability of a high order. To his credit be it said Mr. Mackenzie rever has made any pretense of assuming any of thes ttributes. He has been content to be merely a local ward heeler, then a city political boss in San Jose, contenting himsel? and his followers with such pluckings from the ta: payers as might be had from time to time through the City Council and the Board of Education. Lately he has aspired to control anta Clara County, which has long vied with San Francisco as a hotbed of political chi- canery. But Governor Gage, grasping des- perately at every apparent chance to strengthen | his machine, throws all sentiments of honor, decency and propricty to the winds, He is determined to secure a renomination to the high office which he has so steadily disgraced, and his appointment of Mackenzie {s an indica- tion that he will scruple at nothing in the fu; therance of his schemes to fasten himself and his political pr.rasites upon the people of Cali- ! fornia for another four years. If by any in- excusable mischance the pledge-breaking Gage s=hould be returned to the executive office at Sacramento the unspeakable Dan Burns would again be found reaching out and clutching with his unclean hands at the Senatorial toga. Do the voters of California want a repetition of that sickening drama? San Jose Mercury: When the Governor of California, a week or !imore ago, appointed John D.

There widespread, all around impression that Gage is too small a man for the high office of Governor of The talk of his supporters about his independence and firmness of character He did not have the firmness to resist pressure or the indepéndence to assert his own judgment when Mackenzie should be appcinted to the post of Harbor Commissioner some of the leading newspapers say of Gage: is nothing but cheap lead to his present elimination from local af- fairs. y Santa Ana Herald: \ There is no special reason why Governor Gage should ask the great favor of renomina- tion, and there are many reasons why he should not. Stockton Daily Record: After weeks of delay, with his ear close to the ground to catch the faintest tick of wire- less political influence, Governor Gage has made the appointment of Superior Judge in | San Joaquin County to succeed the late Judge | Budd, 1r. ‘the character or judicial qualifications of the man appointed the people have no just grounds for complaint. But they have cause for indignation and shame in the’ influences wkhich controlled the Governor in making an appointment. Legal attzinments, judicial qual- ifications, personal character, integrity, were all weighed in the balance as against political infinence and found wanting in the Governor's scales, degree to which the scheming politiclan overshadows the statesman in the Governor's makeup is well exemplified in this particular instance. The Governor listened eagerly to all sorts of overtures which might redound to his political berefit. In fact, he was frank to a degreo in his talks with those who went to sce him in connection with the appointment. He bluntly wanted to know what they could do for Gage, The Governor’s attitude in the matter would be reprehensible under any circumstances, and in connection with any appointment, but It is all the more so in the matter of a judicial position. which should be as far removed from political influence as possible. Gage took weeks to make up his mind in the matter and obviously in the appolntment has done what he considers the best for Gage. But it requires po political sage to figure out that tne Governor has materially injured himself. So far as San Joaquin s concerned, it matters litttle, for the Governor stood no chance of se- curing any help from this section of the State, | but the appointment has been made note of elsewhere, and the enemies of Gage will use it agalnst him effectively. It will serve as an illustration to show just how far petty poli- tics dictate the Governor's actions. It will be an object lesson that will impress itself upon the people. Martinez Daily Press: A dispatch from Sacramento says: “It ap- peart that Governor Gage has been handed a delicately gilded briquette by his political ene- mies in Stockton by appointing George F, Buck to fill the unexpired term of the late Superior Judge Budd of San Joaquin County. The ap- pointment was made last night upon the recom- mendation, it is sald, of Alexander Brown, chairman of the State Board of Equalization, who went to Stockton to feel the public pulse there regarding the preference for the sev- cral aspirants for the position. The story comes from Stockton that the appointment was made to placate Dr. Harkness, chairman of the Ceunty Central Committee; Orrin Henderson, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, and ex- Congressman J. A. Louttlt, who have been particularly active and bitter in their opposi- ticn to the Governor. % ““The politiclans assert that the Slough City triumvirate has led the Governor into a trap, as Buck is on the blacklist of the Federated Trades in that city. It is further claimed that Gage's blunder is all the more serious, for the reason that he is said to have promised the appointment to C. H, Fairall, attorney for the Federated Trades, and also to ex-Judge Ansel Smith. The Governor’s plans have been to cur- ry favor with labor organizations wherever possible, but this blunder, it is claimed, will not help his cause with the laboring classes.’” Lodi Herald: It is celdly a question of good Republican politics, ‘about which there should not be any honest differences of opinion—this question of California’s choice for Governor. A vast ma- Jority of the better element of the Republican party is not with the Burns-Gage push. We want no more machine-made Governors; no more autocratic demagogues and bitter par- tisans. And this kind of a Governor we will not have if Burng and his henchmen can be prevented from subverting and demoralizing the Republican State organization. Ontario Record Observer: One of the best informed men in Central California_writes that ‘‘there Is going to be a fight over the Republican nomination for Governor which may beat the Republican party next fall; it will surely be beaten if Gage is nominated.” And the Pomona Times adds: “Every Republican on principle wants his party to win in the coming election, but there are thousands of Republicans on principle who would welcome defeat with Gage the nominee for Governor. And it must be said that this is not simply the sentiment of one or two men, or any lttle clique of men who may have become dis- gruntied at some fancied wrong. It js the prevailing sentiment, all through this end of the State. Gage at the head of the ticket this fall will swamp the party. The rank and file will have none of him—they have had too much already and stmply will not stand it any longer. Locally there seems to be no strong sentiment in favor of any particular man, but you can- not go out on the street and find one man in ten who wiil say he wants another term of Gagelsm. The Republican party s patient and long-suffering in many respects, but it will not stand another four years like the past in this State. Give us a ‘““man” for a leader or there will be no followers, Oakland Enquirer: It is probable that Washington leaders, though not informed of all the details of Cal- ifornia_politics, have observed several facts, viz: First, the three leading Republican papers of California—The Call and Chronicle of San Francisco and the Times of Los Angeles—are bitterly opposed to the renomination of Gage; secondly, a majority of the Republican papers which stand in the second class, such as the San Jose Mercury and Fresno Repubiican, to mention but two out of half a dozen, mre equally opposed to the Governor's renomina- tion; thirdly, the contest has taken on the aspect of a machine and anti-machine fight, is antagonism between an organization and public opinion is nothing new, the situation be- ing repeated from time to time in many States, but wherever it may be found it is a bad tondition for a political party to get into and it s not strange if the national leaders in “Sitner Washington, who care nothing about faction in our State politics, but who desire party success, should be somewhat alarmed. The supporters of Governor Gage admit that the. antagonism exists, and when they are candid they confess that the Governor cannot hope to poll the entire Republican vote, but still they insist that he will be elected, {f re- nominated, because they believe he will get a lot of Democratic votes, This is a claim Which is uncertain at best, and even If it ould be allowed it would not improve the Situation for the rest of the ticket. When a party_becomes demoralized through internal dissenisions the common result is the abstention from voting of many party members, and it ig easy to see what this means. Supposing that Governor Gage should repel a large frac- tion of the Republican voters, who would stay away from the polls on election day, and should attract enough Democratic: voters to give him a plurality and elect him; the Dem- GSerats who would vote for Gage for Governor Would be very unlikely to Vote for the rest of the Republican State ticket or to go for Republican members of the Legislature. They would follow their party in these matters and the consequences would be the possible election of a Demoeratic State ticket and a Demo- cratic Legislature, ’ ‘which national leaders In This is the danger — e —— HE machine forces are vexed over the refusal of Harbor Commis- sioner Kirkpatrick, to accept the push pro- gramme. The bosses have given orders that certain changes must be at once made. Kirkpatrick has given feading men of this city positive as- surance that the af- fairs of the board, so far as he is concerned in their di- rection, shall be conducted to conserve the commer- cial and industrial inter- ests of the city and State. The scheme of the bosses to use the harbor patron- age to boost Gage at the August primary election may fail. ek Washington percelve, and it is quite natural that they should be’ apprehensive and should desire the selection of a candidate for Gov- ernor who can be clected by the Republican vote and who can help to elect a Republican Legislature and a Republican United States Senator. In other words, as these leaders see it, the party should have a candidate who will aid In pulling the rest of the train and not one who will ditch it at the first curve. THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS Democratic newspapers thus comment on affairs in the Republican camp: San Diego Sun: Arrayed agalnst Gage are many able foes, among them a large number of infiuential newspapers; the independent voter, who be- lieves that machine politics is wrong; the anti- Burns crowd; the irrigationists, who wanted the Governor to sign the bill asked for by the Water and Forest Association a year ago, and thousands of others all over the State, too numerous to mention. Martinez The County Paper: The friends of B, D. Murphy of San Jose have started a movement to nominate Mr. Mur- phy for Governor on the Democratic ticket. Should the noted San Josean c¢onsent to run, ex-Covernor James H, Budd has said that he would be willing to take the chairmanship of the State Central Committee and make a great fight for him. In 1894, when Budd was elected Governor, Murphy contested the Democratic nomination with him, and was only beaten by a very slight majority. ~Mr. Murphy has lost nene of his old-time popularity all oyer the State, and there are reasons why he should have a particular strength this year. Marysville Democrat: Serator W. M. Cutter, secretary of the Re- publican State Central Committee, has gona back to his stenographic work in Marysville, saying he would enter the fight for re-election as State Senator. mingly his visit_to San Francisco convi him_ that the anti-Gage element would overlook him In his guberna- torial aspirations and take up Preston or Flint. Before he went, however, Cutter declared him- s21f_in warm words against the renomination of Gage, and he is going to fight in the State Central Committee against the appointment of delegates from any county to the State coa- vention. Fresno Mirror: The Examiner saye Preston is the Spreckels candidate for the Repubiican nomination for Governor. It this be true, it means a split in the opposition to Gage in the south. The op- position to Gage is likely to have trouble in the San Joaquin Valley, too. Short’s friends seem determined to send a delegation favorable to him from th!s county and there will undoubt- edly be Short men in the delegations from other valley counties. Short is very friendly with Gage—he has stated, in fact, that he would not be a candidate against him—so it is not likely that his followers will go over to Flint if they see there is no chance for Short. The opinion is growing here that neither Gage nor Flint will be nominated. Willows Daily Journal: The mere mention of the name Bernard D. Murphy as a probable candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket has caused a flutter among the Gage supporters, The fact of mear- ly one-half the Republican papers in the State condemning Gage has made no impression, so there must be something in the name of “‘Bar- ney” Murphy. Mr. Murphy was before the convention that nominated James Budd for Governor and made quite a lively race for the place. Lompoc Journal: By the appointment of Mackenzie of San Jose for Harbor Commissioner Governor Gage has incurred the displeasure of a very large number of the leading Republican papers of the State. It is claimed by the recent ap- pointment that the Governor has betrayed him- self and the Republican party Into the hands of the boss element. The San Francisco Call and the/Los Angeles Times are among the number of newspapers that are paying their respects to Mr. Gage. Stockton Mail: . Governor Gage was probably very much sur- prised when he learned the facts brought out by the Mall yesterday in regard to the way in which the H. H. L. push tricked him in the matter of the appoiatment of a Superior Judge for this county. It has been a long time since the push carried a scheme to a successful ter- mination, and the Mail takes pleasure in con- gratulating the organization upon the fact that its right hand has not forgotten its cunming nor has its tongue cleaved to the roof. of its mouth. Life in Stockton without the push would be improved in some respects, but it would lose much of its excitement. While no one can say a word against the intellectual and professional qualifications of Judge Buck for the distinguished office to Which he has been appointed, it is well known that _the labor unions had a decided preference for Mr. Fairall and a decided antipathy for Mr. Buck. Now, if there is one thing more than another which 'Governor Gage desires to have pro- claimed from the housetops it is that he is a friend of the labor unions. Didn't he settle the great strike In San Francisco? Just how much he did for the laboring men in that affair will_probably not be knéwn until his partisans begin to reveal great mysteries of state upon the stump after the Governor has been renominated. have been fancying that they had something to do with bringing that great contest to an end will find out that they were mere puppets in the hands of Henry T. Gage, who mesmer- ized the Employers' Association into giving the strikers their positions again, When it comes to telling how much the laboring men got out of the settlement, beyond the privilege of going to work again, as a result of the Governor's intervention, we may expect some modest statements on the part of the Gage oretors, but there is no doubt that the Gov- ernor's part in the settlement of the San Fran- cisco strike will be one of the princlpal themes to Inspire those who are getting their bugles ready to sound his praises in the coming cam- paign. In view of such a prospect it was itivel: cruel for the H. H. L. push to indaee the Governor to turn down the labor unions’ can- didate for Superior Judge. Ever since Mr. Gage gave the push such a bad jolt in the mat- ter of the appointment of managers of the Stockton State Hospital the local machine has Teen walting for a chance to hit back. If the appolatment of Mr. Buck as Superior Judge causes the introduction of some squeaky notes into the melodious rhapsody which the Gover- nor's chief musiclans are preparing to render under the title, “Who Ended the Strike?" many local Republicans will be delighted with the discord, and if that appointment should result in the retirement of the chief executive to the quiet of his Los Angeles home the If, H. L. push will be almost a5 happy s it would be if the editor of the Independent should hap- pen mot to get the Stockton postoffice, 3 — HUMBOLDT SCHOOL GRADUATES,—The graduates of the Humboldt Evening School hav: oiganized an alumnus assoclation and elecied the following officers: President, Allai H.
