THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9, 1902. COUNTIES NORTH AND SOUTH SWING INTO i LINE TO DEFEAT THE CANDIDACY OF GAGE CZAR HERRIN INJURES Hla MAN'S CAUSE Arrogance of the Head Boss Loses Votes to Gage. Sacramento Labor Unions Bitterly Resent His Latest Order. —_— Denounce the Ukase Against the Election to the Legislature of Any of Their ‘ Members. Dispatch to The Call. BACRAMENTO, Aug. 8—The order of Boss Herrin that union workers shall not be elected to the Legislature has created widespread indignation among the thou- sands of men who toil for a living and who belong to various unions. They can- not understand why Herrin should have issued such an order, as it was under- stood that he was not unfavorable to or- ganized labor. Now that he has come out ared himself against union men to the Legislature his position with reference to organized labor has been clearly defined. If the members of the various trade unions are prevented send- ing their own representatives to the Leg- islature by the order of the Southern Pa- ic Company ill do all in their power to aen who are put by Herrin. enough, God knows, to be shackled in the interest of remarked a popular union worker the shops to-day, ~‘but to be deprived of our right to send one of our own kind to the Legislature seems a shame and a disgrace to civilized community. The particularly the working classes city, will not stand such intoler- from Herrin or any other man em- ployed by the railroad company. By what right does Herrin come to this city and say to us, “You vote our way or be —; select man or set of men for the Legislature 1 will not allow any fellow is connected with organized labor to make laws for the people of the State of California. SECRET BALLOT A BLESSING. “Who is this Czar who, from his pala- us that unless we obey his we are to be deprived of perhaps, banished from e days of slavery re- ed to mock am satisfied that the working classes mento will not submit to being es of by Herrin or any other it is now up to us to teach him he cannot longer insult us by order- g us to do what he wishes in politics. he secret ballot, the true friend of the honest toilers of this land, is the weapon we must use to defeat Herrin and all his ilk. He knows that Gage is already beaten, and in desperation he gags and shackles the men in the shops and cries to them: ‘Vote as we want you or be —.’ Thank God, there is a remedy for all this that remedy is the secret ballot. Not 2 workingman who cherishes his inde- pendence or the constitutional right of free speech and free ballot will forget Herrin’s interference on next Tuesday. We all realize that by beating Gage we temporarily at least destroy the power of the political dictation of the Southern Pacific Company.” Herrin's visit to this city and his ulti- matum to the men in the shops have had the effect of winning votes over to the anti-Gage forces. Not only is this true 2mong the laboring classes, but the busi- ness men as well. From present indica- tions Gage will be hopelessly beaten in | this county. His most ardent supporters, realizing that the executive is “up against it,” so to speak, have about given up the fight. The anti-Gage forces are going ehead, galning votes at every hand, and preparing to sweep Gage and Herrin “off the face of the earth,” as they tersely pui it ROUSING MASS MEETING. Another enthusiastic anti-Gage meeting was beld here to-night. It took place in the Second Ward, which is supposed to be a stronghold of the Gage forces. To the intense disgust of the gang that is working for Gage the large tent under which the meeting was held was packed almost to suffocation, while hundreds un- able 1o gain ion were forced to stand on the walk and listen to stir- ring speeches against the Governor and his bunch of heele Mayor Clark called the meeting to or- der, and after thanking his hearers for the interest they had displayed in the present campaign for decency and hon- esty introduced John W. Crone, one of the leading citizens of this city, as chair- man of the meeting. Mr. Crone made a short speech, in which he predicted the utter rout of Gage and the bosses on Tuesday next. After a song by a quartet Lester T. Hinsdale was introduced. After discuss- ing the issues of the present campaign he paid his respects to Gage, who he sald POSTUM CEREAL. n SWEET BREATH When Coffee Is Left Off A test was made ‘o find if the leaving off of coffee eione wo n equa r health as en coffee is left off and Tostum Food flee use is ¥ me n , made the out a year and tea and r several years beer in wretched I3 tion, I thickly furred, lous tongue and foul breath, often ac- companied with severe headaches. I was groubled all the time with chronic consti- potion, so that I was morose in disposi- ¢ and almost discouraged. At the end of the first week after mak- ing the change from coffee to Postum I witnessed & marvelous change in myself. My once coated tongue cleared off, my appetite increased, breath became sweet end the headaches ceased entirely. One thing I wish to state emphatically, you have in Postum a virgin remedy for con- stipation, for I certainly had about the worst case ever known among mortals erd 1 am completely cured of it. I feel in every way like a new person. “During the last summer I concluded that I would experiment to see if the Pos- tum kept me in good shape or whether 1 had gotten well from just leaving off coffee. So I quit Postum for quite a time &nd drank cocoa and water. I found out before two weeks were past that some- thing was wrong and I began to get cos- tive as of old. It was evident the liver was not working properly, so I became convinced it was not the avoidance of coffee alone that cured me, but the great ad & attorney, they openly de- | value came from the regular use of P I n::}nhl‘uon tum.” e e E TALWART Republicans of the mountains of California are lining up with the resolute Republicans of the valleys for the great battle against the allied bosses of the Gage machine. In the south the Republicans of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara are preparing to rout the Gage “push.” The prospects of victory for the forces of good government were never brighter. So many counties have swung into line against Gageism, Kevaneism and Lawlorism that the nomination of a clean, honorable man to lead the Republican State ticket is almost assured. Gage himself is in the midst of rough and tumble ward politics to avert the disgrace of repudiation by his own neighbors. His finish as a candidate for another term is in sight. | | | HUMBOLDT'S FEUD NEARS TS FINALE War of Republican Fac- tions to End at the Polls To-Day. Combat Centers Around Can- didates Selvage and Gillette. Anti-Machine Forces Support Present State Senator’s Claims to Congressional Nom- | ination. Special Dispatch to The Call. EUREKA, Aug. 8.—The Republican pri- mary election to be held to-morrow will end the fiercest political war in the his- | tory of Humboldt County. For several months the leaders of the Republican or- ganization and the opposing faction have been hurling abuse at one another and | have been using every effort to work up | sentiment in favor of their respective can- | didates. The organization is supporting | ex-Senator J. N. Gillette for the nomina- | tion for Congress from the First District and the opposition, led by Editor J. F. Thompson of the Daily Standard, is en- deavoring to capture the State delegation for Senator Thomas Selvage. On this | contest between Gillette and Selvage the fight is centered. | _ The organization is favorable to the can- | didacy of Governor Gage and the opposing | faction seems inclined toward KEdson. For several weeks Sepator Selvage has been making an ante-primary campaign, going to the principal towns of the county with his friends, headed by a brass band. | Excursion trains have been run on those | occasions and a vigorous fight made | against the machine. Throughout the county both factions have prepared for a vigorous struggle at the polls. Workers will be at every poll- ing-place, with instructions how to act. { In this city, where about one-third of the | voters of the county reside, the fiercest | struggle will be waged. The aspirants for | county nominations are numerous and have been carrying on active campaigns. Most of them have declared themselves as machine or anti-machine men and the result to-morrow will in _some measure determine their chance before the county convention. o e e e i e e i ] ] was a tool of the bosses and a disgrace to the State. Hinsdale continued: What has he ever done for Sacramento? Has he not injured this fair city at every opportu- nity by vetolng appropriations that were cal- culated to benefit Sacramento? Not content with this, he has ever shown his contempt for us by refusing to live in our midst. At this moment he is resting on a convict-made lounge | in his home in Los Angeles. This is the same lounge that was made by convict labor in San Quentin, according to the convincing proof pre- | sented by the San Francisco Call. Gage is a tool of the bosses and is totally unfit for the highest office within the gift of the people of this State. Show him on next Tuesday that the people of California will not tolerate him any longer and at the same time wipe out the gang that has been fattening at the public crib through the courtesy of Henry T. Gage. T. T. Hatfield, the well-known attorney, followed in a stirring speech. He dis- cussed the issues of the campaign and advised his hearers to cast thei®votes for decency and honesty. PREDICTS ROUT OF GAGE. Hiram Johnson, the brilliant young at- torney, was the next speaker. He ex- | coriated the railroad company for its in- | terference in the campaign and predicted a sweeping victory for the forces that are arrayed against Gage and his gang. Said he: | . Gage cannot win! The people of this State know him too well to allow him to disgrace the | gubernatorial chair for another term of four years. That his administration has been an utter failure is evidenced by the scandals | that have arisen in our State institutions and | which have caused a blush of shame to mantle | the cheeks of every man who claims California | as his home. Mr. Johnson was followed by his broth- er Albert, who denounced the Governor in vigorous language. He also paid his respects to the railroad company for al- | lowing_Herrin, the dictator, to come to this city and gag honest voters in the shops. H. G. Thiele, the next speaker, attacked Gage for refusing to recognize the people of Sacramento, and referred to him as “a thing to be despised.” The Regular Republicans, who are for Gage, held caucuses to-night and selected vention to be voted for in the coming pri- maries: George K. Rider, Dr. F. F. Teb- betts, Grove L. Johnson, B. U. Steinman, J. D. Wright, Willlam Lambert, W. S. Simmons, N. Post, E. C. Atkinson, Geor; Radonich, Edward McEwen, W. orpe, P. 8.

GRASS VALLEY, Aug. “‘Buttonhol- ing” of voters the day before the prima- ries to elect delegates to a State conven- tion is an unusual thing in this city, where ordinarily little interest is taken in the scramble for State offices. Through- out to-day, however, fifteen men have been asking their friends to vote for them to-morrow, while only five can be elected. The main interest centers in the effort to send a solid antl-Gage delegation, ai- though it looks as though Gage’s lone friend on the ticket, Senator John R. Tyr- rell, will be elected. Knowing ones pick as the probable winners Mayor C. E. Clinch, eodore H. Wilhelm, a nephew of Lieutenant vernor Neff; John T. ham, John R. Tyrrell and D. B. Mat- teson. Tuolumne County Nominees. JAMESTOWN, Aug. 8—Therace for the Democratic nomination for Sheriff of Tu- olumne County is an exciting three-cor- nered affair, with J. F. Fahey, D. E. Gue- rin and William Sweeney as candidates. The present Sheriff, Lee Price, supports Guerin, but the outcome is doubtful, Su- perior Judge G. W. Nicol has opposition for re-election in the person of J. P. O’Brien.

ACRAMENTO, Aug. 8.—Mayor Clark to-night received the following telegram from Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco: “Impossible for me to go to Sacramento on BSaturday. Am surprised regarding the action of the railroad company as stated by you. The rights of voters should not be interfered with, and if workingmen are being coerced into voting for a ticket distasteful to them they should, as free American citizens, “E. E. SCHMITZ, Mayor of San Francisco.” Mayor Schmitz’s telegram was in answer to a request made by Mayor Clark that he come to Sacramento and address a meet- ing on the local political situation. GITY FIGHT FOR STATE DELEGATES Primary League Clubs Enthusiastic and Confident,. SICHIERIE. 4 Nevada County Must Eliminated From the Push Column. Be The allied bosses should prepare to make another reduction in the estimate of Gage's strength in San Francisco. Re- cently one of the evening organs of the machine struck off thirty-seven, reducing the claim to 140. Last night’s calculations in the boss camp placed the figure at 12%5. That estimate is probably forty above the true mark. The district hench- men of the Kelly-Crun}.nl‘n{— \pms-Herm\ machine are fighting among themselves, while John Lynch and Joe Burke are se- cretly but vigorously knifing Martin Kel- ly to prevent the last named boss from winning a bunch of Assemblymen. Kelly wants to do business at Bacramento next winter and Burke and Lynch desire to shut him out. The inside fight among the bosses is sure to cause a lot of slashing in the districts. The Republican Primary League is in excellent form. A spirit of confidence and enthusiasm was shown at the meetings last night. A business meeting attended by fifty-two of the precinct workers of tg'e Forty-fourth Assembly District was held at league headquarters, 18 Geary street, last night. George Boyne, an energetic advocate of clean politics, who heads the State ticket, addressed the as- scmbled workers. Last fall the league came within nine votes of winning the district. The prospects of victory next Tuesday animate the citizens to renewed efforts in the cause of good government and clean politics. The odious little boss, Phil Crimmins, dwells in this district, and citizens and taxpayers who are op- posed to his methods and associates should rebuke him by voting the ticket of the Republican Prlmm? League, A rousing meeting of the Republicans who are enlisted in the fight against bosses in the Fortieth District was held last night. There was such a crush at league headquarters that the men of the Fortieth were compelled to hire a hall up town. The Thirty-sixth Assembly District Re- publican Primary League ticket repre- sents the best citizenship of the district. The meeting last night at league head- quarters for the purpose of assigning workers to duty was largely attended. SAD NEWS FOR THE PUSH. The saddest blow to the push since the Gage disaster in Mendocino is the elim- ination of Nevada County from the ma- chine column. The Grass Valley Herald of August 7 tells the story of Gage's un- doing with this introduction: Poor Henry T. Gsge! The lion-hearted, clean-sotled, clear-eved men of the mountains have turned him down. He was thrown bod- ily from his pedestal last night and smote the earth with that “‘dull, sickening thud’’ of dime novel fame, They handed it out to Mr. Gage last night in a way that was really shameful. It was simply awful, and had he been present he would have concluded it was time for him to “Go *way back and sit down.” It may be sald right here that it was one of the largest caucuses, if not the largest, ever eld in this city, and for enthusiasm—one- sided enthusiasm—it probably broke all records. And yet it was a good natured gathering, mov. ing along without a jar of any sort. In order that voters might have an opportu- ity to know just how the aspiring delegates to the State convention stood, they were called upon to declare themselves. And they did. Only one or two declined to speak, and one or 1wo were absent. With one exception the can- didates heard from were unanimously in favor of anybody else but H. T. Gage for the next Republican gubernatorial aspirant. Mayor Clinch, one of the speakers of the evenlnE, spoke of the shabby treat- ment which Gage had accorded to Lieu- tenant Governor Neff, “the idol of the mountains.” ‘“‘After Gage was elected,” he continued, ‘‘he failed to show Mr. Neft the respect and courtesy due to a man of his e'enrs and position.” Clinch was in- terrupfed with a burst of applause. “I want to state right here,” he continued, “that I will vote for any man except Gage, even if it costs me my election next Saturday.” Agaln a wave of applause swept the crowded hall, clearly demon- strating the strength of the anti-Gage forces. And so it went all along the Itne with the exception of Senator J. K. Tyrrell. All other speakers declared positively against Gage. The finish of Gage's campaign for a re- nomination is gla.inly in sight. Solid del- egations from San Francisco, Sacramento and Los Angeles could not save him. The miners and farmers, comprising the great bulwark of Republican strength in Cali- fornia, have already declared against Gageism and Kevaneism. There is a good deal of talk in_the boss camp to the ef- fect that Dr. Pardee will ultimately get the transferable strength of the Gage machine. The only transferable quantity probable is that which the maechine may win in Los Angeles. SECRETARY OF STATE’S OFFICE. The apprehension in the Forty-second District anti-boss camp that nine em- ployes in the Secretary of State's office Wwere mixing in the affairs of the district is not well founded. J. N. Fitzgerald is the only one of the nine registered in the Forty-second. Registrar Walsh yes- {erday received the following affidavit from nto, which shows that the deputies did not vote there at the last election and are not now registered in that city: & Willlam B. Hamlilton, County Clerk of FRESNO CITY REPUBLIGANS REJECT GAGE Herrin’s Man Almost Friendless in the Caucuses. Party Sentiment Against Him Is Practically Unan- imous. FRESNO, Aug. 8.—The war is waging fiercer between the Gage ‘“‘push” in this city and the Fresno Anti-Gage Primary League, for the purpose of sending an anti-Gage delegation to the State convention. To- night the Republicans of two assembly districts met in the court rooms of Justice of Peace St. John and Superior Judge Austin to nominate delegates to the State convention. If the spirit shown at both of these meetings is to be taken as a cri- terion, Fresno is thoroughly and over- ‘whelmingly anti-Gage. The principal fight was in the Sixty- first district. At a meeting of the Anti- Gage League a few nights ago Dr, Chester Rowell, George H. Monroe and Charles ‘Walters were nominated as the league's delegates. Throughout to-day the report was in circulation that the Gage ‘‘push” had determined to concentrate its strength in this district and endeavor to defeat Dr. Rowell, but at the meeting the ‘“push” failed to materialize. In the entire assem- blage—and the court room was crowded— there were not more than a dozen men friendly to the Governor. Stanton L. Carter, the chairman of the County Central Committee, who is known as one of the leading Gage men, called the meeting to order. Arter taking a careful survey of the room for several minutes he made the announcement that the new primary law did not require the holding of such a caucus, and ail voters should be informed that they were by no means bound to vote for the candidates named at the meeting. Dr. A. J. Pedlar was elected chairman. He declared that nominations were in or- der for delegates. The three men selected by the Anti-Gage League were promptly nominated. The Gage crowd had a set of delegates ready to be placed in nomination. One of them was . Warrington, traveling freight and passenger agent for the San- ta Fe. It was noticed that there were five Santa Fe men at the meeting who have never before been known to take an active interest in polities. The other nominees for the Gage eon- tingent were Roy Hall, a_wholesale hard- ware dealer, and Lewis H. Smith, ex-City Attorney and a protege of Stanton I Carter. In the Sixtieth District the two' contin- gents had everything arranged before- hand. Paul Mayer, S. B. Tombs and F. J. Burleigh were nominated for the anti- Gage league. Dave Cosgrave, the Police Judge; A. J. Hudson, a real estate dealer, and George Schorling, proprietor of the Owl saloon, were nominated as the Gage candidates. @ il @ Sacramento, certify that the following names do not appear on the great register of Sacra- mento County for 1900 and the Jupgiament of 1901 and of '1902: . John Hoesch, Charles H. Clear, P. H. Kerrigan, E. J. Jackson, Thomas McDermott, Frank Pendergast, J. J. Callely, J. N. Fitagerald. By P. H. GALLUP, Deputy. The Union Labor Party Central Club of the Thirty-sixth District held an en- thusiastic meeting last nl%ht at Harmony Hall, -the object of which was to ratify the recently selected ticket for the com- ing primary and make proper arrange- ments for the campaign. All of the dele- sates were in attendance, H. Gallagher occupied the chair and H. Bunkers officiated as vice chairman. Speeches were made by prominent dis- trict leaders. The Martin Kelly Republican Mutual Alliance contingent of the Thirty-sixth District held a smoker last night at Harmony Hall, corner of Erie and Mis- sion streets. W. F. Howe was master of ceremonies. Liquid refreshments and cigars were served. Several speeches were made by district leaders. In ‘the Thirty-sixth District the Republican Pri- mary League ticket should receive the support of the people. Boss Kelly should not be allowed to get the upper hand in the progressive Thirty-sixth. Major Andrew G. Myers of Siskiyou, commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy Resubllcan League of California, has Issued general orders No. 8, calling for a department encampment at Red Men’s Hall, San Francisco, on Saturday, August 30, at 2 p. m. The following para- graphs of the order are interesting: Each camp is entitled to one delegate for every twenty-five members and one additional for a final fraction of more than half that number, but a camp numbering less than twenty-five is entitled to one delegate. We are on the threshold of a State campaign of great importance to the Republican party and to this organization, and it is earmestly desired that every camp be fully and well rep- It ia necessary for the department head- quarters to have a complete list of the entire memberghip. The colonel or adjutant of each camp will furnish the adjutant general with a roster of his camp on or before August 80, 1902, together with the names and rank of officers elected and now serving. Camps that have not lately reported are re- quested to at once convene, reorganize and recruit membership from Civil, other United States war or regular army and navy veterans and all sons of veterans and send lists to these headquarters.

How the Next Ticket of This Party Will Be Made Up. et Interest Is Displayed as to Whether Dalton Will Run as Indepen- dent Candidate for Assessor. ki gl D Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Aug. 8. Nothing of any importance has trans- pired in local political circles to disturb the tranquillity of the candidates for fa- vors upon the Republican ticket. There is a little disturbance in Eden Township over the question of who shall become Public Administrator, and there is a littie interest displayed as to whether Henry P. Dalton will run as an independent can- Gldate for Assessor. But Dalton declines to discuss the matter of his candidacy, and the Eden Township matter is not se- rious enough to ruffle the calm gurface of the Republican mill pond. B. C. Hawes, the present Public Admin- istrator, is a candidate for the Republi- can nomination once more. Mr. Hawes resides in San Leandro in Eden Township, and he was told that if he could briag the delegation from his township into the convertion he would be given the nomination he covets. But Hawes once ircurred the enmity of Horry W. Meek of San Lorenzo, also in Eden Township, and there has developed a local contest that has for its object the defeat of Hawes. George Gray of Haywards has announced his candidacy for the nomina- tion wanted by Hawes, and Gray will put a ticket into the fleld against Hawes. ‘L'he rest of the county is not interfering in tuis local contest, but will give the nom- ination to the man who can bring the delegation to the convention. MAKE UP OF TICKET. It is unlikely that there will be any other contests in Alameda County for Re- publican favors. The ticket that will be named is generally known; and the fact that no contests have developed seems satisfactory to the Republicans. All of the present orficers will be re- nominated with the exception of County Clerk, and in this case J. P. Cook, the piesent chief deputy, will be given the, nomination in place of Frank C. Jordan,? his superior. Jjohn Mitcheil, present Su- pervisor, will be given the Republican nomination for Assessor, the position now held by Henry P. Dalton; Henry Lynch of Washington Township will be nominat- ed for County Superintendent of Schools, the place now held by T. O. Crawford, a Democrat, while Robért Greigg of Berke- ley will be nominated for Recorder, which place is now occupied by A. K. Grimm, an independent. The three present Superior Judges, S. P. Hall, W. E. Greene and H. A. Melvin, will be renominated. Oscar Rogers will be nominated for Sherift, James B. Barber for Tax Collector, J. Cal Ewing for Auditor, Arthur W. Feid- ler for Treasurer, John J. Allen for Dis- trict Attorney and H. B. Mehrmann for Coroner. W. L. Prather, the present chief deputy in the County Surveyor's office, seems to be the only applicant for nomination for head of that o There are likely to be some changes in the district nominations. J. R. Talcott will be renominated for Superyisor in the Second District, but W. - Church will not be a candidate again for the position he has held for several terms. J. M. Kelly, present Assemblyman from the Forty-eighth District, will be made the Republican nominee for Supervisor in Church’s district. For Senators F. W. Leavitt will be nominated td-succeed him- self, and J. R. Knowland wiil be nom- irated to succeed E. K. Taylor of Ala- meda. The new Senatorial district that was formed in Alameda County will not elect for two years. There will be very few changes in the Assembly delegation. J. G. Mattos will be nominated in the Forty-sixth; J. Bates will be nom- inated in the Forty-seventh in the place of J. R. Knowland, who becomes Sen- ator; P. M. Walsh will be given the nom- ination in the Forty-eighth, succeeding J. M. Kelly, who becomes Supervisor; John M. Mott will be nominated in the Forty-ninth, succeeding D. W. McWade; J. A. Bliss will succeed himself in the Fiftieth, Dr. N. K. Foster will succeed himself in the Fifty-first and Ww. L. Waste will be named in the new district at Berkeley. T FEW INDEPENDENTS. The county primaries will be held on Tuesday next, at the same time as the State primaries, and it is uniikely that there will be any contests unless it be in den Township. The county convention will take place on Saturday, August 16. The Republican County "Central Com- mittee has opened headquarters at 1056 Broadway, in the same building in which Dr. George C. Pardee has opened his headquarters. The Democrats have set the date of their county . convention for Saturday, August 23. It is probable that there will be a num- ber of independent candidates for various offices. Thomas M. Robinson will be a candidate for Tax Collector. Mr. Robin- son is a Republican in politics and was defcated four years ago for the nomina- tion. He discovered some time ago that he could not win the Republican nom- ination at this time and was a candidate before the Labor convention and was de- feated. He will now run independent. Thomas Hamef of Seminary Park has announced himself as an independent can- dh:atate for Supervisor against J. R. Tal- cott. - | PARDEE COMES BACK.

The doctor brought with him' a statement that he was interested only in his own campaign and in no other, and that he believed that the sotthern country would be badly divided. The southern trip of Dr. Pardee.was caused by the stories of divisions and trouble in the southern country for Hen- Gage.

GET AROUND AN AMBUSH Take No Part in the Caucuses in Los Angeles. Accuse Members of County Central Committee of Treachery. i Will Go Into the Primaries With Tickets Named by the Va- rious Assembly Dis- trict Clubs. P U Special Dispatch to The CaM. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8—Republican caucuses were held to-night, one in each Assembly District, to nominate tickets to be voted for in the Republican pri- maries to be held next Tuesday. The caucuses weré wholly devoid of interest, inasmuch as there were no contests. The antl-Gage forces having refused to par- ticipate, the Gage gang had things its own way and in many piaces less than half a dozen Republicans met and nom- inated tickets to suit themselves. The leaders of the movement in favor of Senator Flint to-day issued the fol- lowing statement giving their reasons for not participating in the caucuses: » The issue in the present contest is whether the people shall elect delegates to the State Convention or whether they shall be selected by a small coterie of Burns-Gage manipulators. There is no neutral ground; one must either be for the perpetuation of the Burns-Herrin- Gage gang, or against it. We will, therefore, place our caucus before the Republicans of this city and have it settled at the primaries on Tuesday. Under the new primary law, the caucus is an obsolete function. If we make a fight at the caucus to-night and win out, the whole mat- ter will have to be fought over again Tues- day. The “gang’’ will die hard. The caucuses to-night were called at the be- hest of the managers of Governor Gage, who control a majority of the County Central Com- mitteemen. These caucuses have been located, one in each Assembly district, and in smali halls in remote corners of the city. Some of the voting places will not accommodate more than two dozen people; some districts are miles in length, stretching across the city, and con- tain thousands of Republican voters; hence, it must be apparent that any deliberations to be had there must be farcical and they would not truly represent the sentiments of the great mass of Republican voters of the districts. Flint tickets, selected by the various As- sembly district Flint clubs, have been pre- Dared and -have been made public. These will_be malled to voters before Tuesday, that all Republicans may know the names of those who will vote in opposition to the renomination of the gang's candidate, Governor Gage. We have but one fight to make, and that will | be made on Tuesday. We believe the ‘ssue has been placed squarely before the peopie of Los Angeles. and we shall enter upon the struggle with confidence of Winning & sweep- ing victory for decency, honest government and patriotic party prinelpl @ ek ing made to appear. I belleve that the scut;:edm delegations will be very much ed. s for myself, I have only this to say —that I am paddling my own cance. I am not interested in the campaign of any one else, and I am attending strictly to my own affairs. “In the southland the campaign is as hot as the weather, and the people are likely to see some surprises from that section. The general sentiment down there seemed to be that the Governor this time should come from north of Te- hachapi, and my friends down there are very sanguine that I will receive the sup- port of a majority of the delegation from that portion of the State. “During my trip I looked into the po- litical situation in Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Bernardino, Fresno, Riverside and Orange, and the prospects were very encouraging in all of these counties. Most of the delegations will be sent to the convention as unpledged. They don't ask that the nomination for Governor should go south this time, although most of the talk down there among the leading Re- publicans is concerning the Governorship, little being said about the other offices.

In Times of Suffering and Critical Iliness She Can Honestiy Recommend PAINE’S CELERY COMPOUND As a Saver of Life and a Banisher of Disease. ‘Woman's power for good in the home can never be truly estimated. In times of suffering and danger, her.judgment and experience are invaluable; Rer smiles, words of cheer and comfort help to dispel gloom and sadness. The faith- ful, discerning wife has a full knowledge cf the value of Paine’s Celery Compound as a banisher of disease; she has noted its wonderful effects and cures; she has faith in its virtues, and recommends it with ful! confidence. Mr. Rudolph M. Hunter, of the well known Hunter Corperation, Philadelphia, Pa., says: “1 feel it is but right that I should acknowledge my appreciation of Paine's Celery Compound” That you may under- stand my appreciation, I might say that for nearly twenty years I have continu- ally suffered from neuralgis, poor ecircu- lation at night, and general nervous weak- ness from overwork due to dally labors of from twelve to eighteen hours upon the most intricate and exhausting of brain work. To retire at night meant the worst of headaches and lack of sleep. I received no relief from physiclans, and my enormous work upon my electrical in- ventions and litigations has prevented me taking the rest so much needed. Some time ago I began to take Paine’s Celery Compound, and I soon feit like a new man. All my physical troubles practical- ly ceased. Paine’s Celery Compound has done for me what the medical profession could not do. I now work from twelve to fifteen hours daily in peace and com-~ fo and secure restful “ DR. TALCOTT & CO.

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 8.—After two tickets were in the fleld for the delegates to the Republican State Convention from this city, with every prospect for a bit- ter fight to-morrow, an arrangement was effected late to-night through the efforts of City Attorney Booth and his friends whereby but one ticket will be in the field to-morrow. It will contain the names of Mayor Edwards, State Senator Green- well, W. W. Burton and E. E. Arellanes, who announce themselves as unpledged | on the gubernatorial and State fights. They say they are for City Attorney Booth for the nomination for Congress in this district, and will not commit them- selves on State officers. Fresno Democratic Caucuses. FRESNO, Aug. 8.—The Democratic pre- cinct caucuses were held to-night and delegates to the county convention, to be voted for in the primaries, named. At most of them the attendance was small and the delegates were nominated with a rzl;p[ldlty that suggested something of a slate. One Dollar and a Half for Ten Cents. EXT Sunday’s Call will inau- gurate an .entirely new de- parture in modern journalism. It will present a feature absolutely unique in the history of the news- paper world. In two consecutive edi- tions of the Sunday Call our readers will get the latest revised edition of the novel “None But the Brave,” the literary sensation of the year, for ten cents; five cents each Sunday. In book form it is a $1.50 novel. The first half of the story will be pub- lished in our special book edition of August 10 (next Sunday) and the second half, completing the book, will be printed on Sunday, August 17. Nothing like this has ever been at- tempted in the West before, but this is only the beginning of The Sunday Call’s new literary policy. Bigger surprises are to follow. The.next novel to be published in this form will be ‘“Lazarre,” which has had a wonderful success in the East and also in Europe. Following “La- zarre” will come “Alice of Old Vin- cennes,” “When Knighthood Was in Flower,” etc., all $1.50 books, which you will get with the Sunday Call for less than one-tenth that price. The books and the price speak for them- selves. Not the least interesting feature of this new literary policy is the man- ner in which “None But the Brave” will be illustrated. Every character has been represented by a living; breathing human being. This idea is also absolutely unique. In order to carry it out rly the full strength of the Irl:r:ll:y {!orm pany, now playing at the Grand Opera-house, was utilized, because all the members have appeared in plays of that period and consequen are thoroughly versed in the customs and manners of the times. Goldstein & Co. costumed the char- acters and gave their whole staff to the task to insure correctness in every detail, while Goldstein & Cohn furnished the wigs. And then to carry this perfection of detail still furthe: the pictures were made at the Stan- ford Studio, where the operator, Mr. Morrison, gave particular attention to the setting. The outdoor pictnrt those on horseback—were taken der the supervision of Professor Dil- lon, riding master of the Park Riding School. Never before has so much effort been given to illustrating a book in any form. Alice Johnson for the indoor ple- tures and Eva Dennison for the out door pictures alternated in the part of “Debby” Philipse. Miss Thais Lawton was Baroness Riedesel, while the male members of the company as- sumed the parts as follows: Mr. Crane as Merton Balfort, Mr. Brewers as Lieutenant Hazeltine, Mr. Tracey as Lieutenant Curtis, Mr. Rob- ertson as Lieutenant Acton and also Jim Marvin, and Mr. Travis as Lieu- tenant Atherton. The pictures are masterpieces in photography. Remember that the first half of this great story will be out in The Sunday Call of next Sunday and the second half will appear in the Sunday Call of August 17. The story complete will cost you but ten cents and you will have read one of the most T $1.50 novels of the day. There will be no waiting from week to week for the continued chapters of the story, as is the policy of magazines and newspapers heretofore in running se- rials. This arrangement will give you the complete book in two numbers of The Sunday Call and avoids that most unpleasant “Continued mnext ‘week” that ruins a good story for the reader by appearing t at the most
