Special Dispatch to The Call, ACRAMENTO, Aug. 10. — That Gage is doomed in this county is now admitted by even his stanch- est supporter§. , The publication in The Call of the crookedness at San Quentin, involving forgery and mutllation of public records and lar- ceny, has called forth the severest con- demnation of every decent citizen of this community. Many of the:a who intended to vote the Gage ticket at the coming pri- maries have come out since the exposs cf the rottenness at the State penitentiary and announced their-opvesition to the re- nomination of the Los Angeles politiclan. The bosses who are behind Gage, seeing votes slipping (hrough their fingers, have about given up in despair. They say tha if Gage had the foresight of the mosi ordinary politician in the State he would not have commenced libel proceedings against The Call unless he had the assur- ance that the case would not be heard untfl after the election. Now that The Call, being prevented from presenting the proof of the crooked- ness that exists in San Quentin in a court of competent jurisdiction, comes out and shows up the rotten management at the penitentiary, they say, nas sealed the fate of Gage. They all agree that Gage has lost all chance to grace the guberratorial chair for another terms of four years. GAGE'S DEFEAT SURE. Even Bart Cavanaugh, a tool of the railroad company, and one of the Repub- lican bosses of Sacramento, admits the defeat of Gage. A few days ago he was willing to bet his silver that Gage would win, but it is very different now. Like the rest of the bunch that was out for the Governor, Cavanaugh has taken to the lofty timber, where he intends to remain until after the primaries. “Limber” Green is looking to Secretary of State Curry to save him from an over- whelming defeat in the Second Ward. Green is supposed to be the boss of the ward, and, being unable to gain votes for Gage, either by appeal or coercion, he has asked Curry to help him out. As Curry has no following in the ward, it is safe to predict that even if the Secretary of State attempts to Interfere Green will be beaten anyhow. The ‘‘sack” of the railroad company is here and has been distributed among the gang that is behind Gage. While realizing the power of money in matters political, the anti-Gage forces are confldent that they have the battle won. They argue that the purchasable vote is so small that even if it is for the Gage ticket, it would hal\ie very little effect on the general re- sult. Another thing that argues against the use of money in politics, they say, is that the politicians and ward ‘heelers,” who are allowed to dip into the sack, instead of buying votes invariably pocket the amount given them with the exception of a few dollars, which go for beer. With “money to burn,” as one_ of them ex- pressed it, about half a dozen railroad employes who have earned the. confidence of Boss Herrin were around the city to- Cay “blowing” ‘themselves with the reck- L xRSO MR MR CI e e e e S B R S R R R R 22, EDWIN BONNELL, s FORTY-FIRST DISTRICT.

Mayor Clark is jubilant over the prospect of the defeat of Gage and the complete destruction of machine politics in Sac- ramento. He sald to-day: ‘“There is nothing to it. Gage is al- ready beaten. The railroad sack and all other corporate influences canno:f save him. He is politically dead, and his re- mains now awalt burial. Perhaps Her- rin would like me to officiate at his fun- eral. Gage's brutal treatment of the peo- ple of this city has led to his undoing. On next Tuesday he will learn that hoe cannot injure and ignore the peaceable residents of Sacramento and get away with it. We have made a clean fight against him, and, according to present indications, have won.” The final meeting of the antl-Gage forces will be held to-morrow night in the very heart of the rallroad district.

Burely the vote will be large. When the people rally at the polls the bosses go down to merited de- feat. Every registered Republican should meet the obligation of citizenship by going to the polls and casting a ballot for the cause of good government and clean politics. Elsewhere in to-day’s Call the delegate tickets nominated by the Republican Primary League are pub- lished. It will be observed thaut, men of 0od character are in nomination. ‘To-dny the mails will be cumbered with circulars, cards and misleading literature from Boss Martin Kelly's Mutual Alli- ance and the so-called Cafe Royal Re- publican: organization witn which Henry Ach and D. McPike are connected. ~eighth, ‘Thirty-third and Thirty-fifth districts were spending money in the sa- loons to boost the failing fortumes of Henry T. Gage. GAGE AS PROHIBITIONIST. ‘While the Governor is making a saloon fight in San Francisco, he is bidding for tgo support of t%e prohibitionists in Los Angeles. The Long Beacn ‘U'ribune, a journal which supports Gage, gives the tollowing as its reason for advocating the Governor's renomination: At a public meeting in the Y. M. C. A. Hall, Angeles, the other night, the question, “Why I am e, was answered by 2 number of pefple. Among them was Dr. Ste- phen Bowers, the war horse of the Prohibition party. He said that he was a Prohibitionist, but he was for Gage ‘‘because he had barred wine from his table at Sacramento.” When Dr. Bowers indorses any Republican or Democrat ‘we may be sure that he is all right as far as the liquor is concerned.. In conversation with ex-Governor Cosper Saturday we asked him about Gage's temperance principles. He sald he was a strict temperance man, and it was a fact that he had barred the wine from his own table and_from public functions where he had control. No other Governor of California had ever done this. BOSS KELLY’S JACK. It is common talk among push 1ti- clans that some aspirant for United tea Senator other than George C. Perkins has contributed considerable money to Boss Kelly's campaign fund. Kelly's lieu- tenants were flush last night remarking that there was more %old in 1y’'s sack. The Cafe Royal Republicans are spending money to prevent Kelly from getting a h of legislators. b‘gl'n!;:e strfle"n.monl the old-time bosses is shown by the fact that Sam Rainey appeared yesterday in Eddy Conroy's office and denounced the latter roundiy for the way he was doing business, de- claring that if things were not mended he was going to_cry quits, as Burns had put up a ticket in_the Thirtieth District to defeat Martin Kelly. STUFFERS WILL BE ARRESTED. The Republican Primary League can- vassers yesterday uncovered several gangs of “stuffers” jn the Forty-fourth District. The biggest bunch was uncovered at 424 Pacific street. The place is a coal yard. The indications are that the stuffers will be arrested and sent to San Quentin if they attempt to vote. The names of the suspected are in the hands of the chal- lengérs. Another bunch of stuffers was found at “The Winter Home.” The falsely registered rounders will be sent to jail if they offer to vote to-morrow. The atten- tion of Mayor Schmitz, Registrar Walsh and Chief of Police Wittman has been di- rected to.the fact that fllegal voting In several districts is contemplated by the b MORE GAGE DEFEATS. There s very little left for the Gage push to claim. Placer County comes to the front with a splendid anti-Gage dele- gation headed by Lieutenant Governor Neff. Ventura also swings into line against Gage. The gratifying intelligence comes from the north that Senator Sel- vage smashes the Bull machine and cap- tures a majority of the Humboldt delega- tion. So far Gage has not been able to get away from the hoodoo thirteen—of eight in Kern and five in Kings. The little Gage coterie in Solano County will feel cheap when its members ponder over the news from Napa, Marin, Mendocino, Ne- vada, Placer, San Joaquin, Santa Bar- bara, Humboldt, Ventura, San Bernar- dino, Shasta, Siskiyou, Tehama, Merced, Madera, Tulare, Stanislaus, San Diego, Santa Clara, Monterey, San Benito and other counties that have jolned the army of good government. The signs of the campaign plainly point to the conclusion that Gage cannot get the Republican nomination. Where his forces will go when he gets out is a matter of conjecture. S0 many counties have already declared S0 positively against his renomination that solid delegations for the boss ma- chine in Los Angeles and this city could not save him. The indications are that the machine will not be able to win 50 per cent of these delegations. The big regis- tration in this city strengthens the be- Hef that the Primary League will win out to-morrow. L e i 0 i e e o o e ) VENTURA WANTS NONE OF GAGE County Dslegation Will Be a £olid One for Flint, Spectal Dispatch to The Call. VENTURA, Aug. 10.—The political pot is boiling in this county to-night. Every- thing is strong for Fiint and the entire | delegation will be solid. A resolutfon will be passed in the county convention next Saturday indorsing una pledging the de.e- BALION I0F FUNL. There Wik be tWo avie- gauons from this county, one to the State and one to the Congressional convenuon. ‘I'ne Congressional delegatés wil be divided between Smith and Danieis. There 1s great rejoicing at Hueneme, Senator Bara’s home, over the success of Flint's forces in Santa Barbara County. ‘The aspirants for aeiegates to the State convention are rather numerous, however. Among those who wish to go are A. J. Beil, ¥'. W. Baker, John Carne, W. P. Fieet, D. T. Perkins, I. Gerberding and R. Strathearne. N. Blackstock wil be indorsed, and the delegates pledged to him for remomination for Raflroad Commis- stoner. The primaries will be. held to-morrow afternoon, and there will be fights in every precinct. The local fights are hot. Senator Orestes Orr and Judge B. T. Wil- liams, who was defeated twice for the Supreme Court nomination, are the lead- ers of the two factions. There are two or more candidates for every office. To- night the Orr faction seems to have the lead. Williams has heid the Judgeship for eighteen years, and this is considered the fight of his life. The country people are crying to clean out the courthouse. AUBURN, Aug. 10.—Placer County anti-Gage. There will be no opposition to the ten delegates put up by the Hon. J. H. Neff and H. T. Power. Neff himself will head the delegation. The others will be H- T. Power, George Towle, S. N. Sprague, B. B. Deming, Al Smith, W. BE. Lininger, John Ertle, George Lamphrey and Martin Michael. = REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 10.—On Tuesday next the Republican and Democratic pri- | maries will be held throughout San Mateo County for election of delegates to the State convention. Thus far but very little interest has been evinced here in political affairs, especially those of the State at large. This may be accounted for by reason of the spirftéd contest expected over the county officers among the poli- tlcl]ana both in the convention and at the polls. The only prediction thus far made by the local press was that of the Times- Gazette in its issue of yesterday, when it was stated that mest, if not all, of the delegates to the Republican convention would be Gage men. This extravagant claim is on a par with those that pre- ceded the primaries in Mendocino, which county elected an anti-Gage delegation by an overwhelming majority. Senator Flint’s managers are claiming the entire San Mateo delegation. SAN LVUIS OBISPO, Aug. 10.—The pri- maries, both Republican and Democratie, will be held throughout this c¢ounty on Tuesday for the election of delegates to the county convention. The Republican county convention will be held A: it 19 and the Democrats will hold t! on August 25. In all probability there will be little ex- citement in the Democratic primarfes, and the election of the delegatés will be pretty much a cut-and-dried affair. ree or four spirited contests for Republican nom- inations will make the primaries decidedly interesting and will bring out a large pro- portion of the party vote. The principal interest in the blican convention will be the contest for the nomination for District Attorney, for which office there are four aspirants; for County School Su- perintendent, for which there are a num- ber of aspirants, and for the nominations for Assessor and Sheriff. which there are two contestants. - 1. JOHN CHRISTENSE! 2. CHARLES H:’ GAGE FORGES ~ MRE FEARFUL Los Angeles Men Re- duce the Estimation of Strength. wSpectal Dispatch to The Call, LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10.—Instead of claiming that they will have practically a solid delegation from Los Angeles Coun- ty in the State convention the Gage forces have * reduced their estimate of .their strength to 60 per cent of the Los Angeles County delegation, but are claiming that they will make sufficient gains in the north to more than offset this. This new estimate is the result of the Republican caucuses last night, and the defeat there of some of _the strongest Gage adherents. It is the first admission that the Gage gang has ide that it is in any danger whatever, and shows that at least some of his supporters are look- ing for an easy place to fall. On the other hand the Fiint forces—and Flint is the only anti-Gage candidate who has made anything like a fight against Gage here — are more than jubi- lant. At the outset they were willing to reluctantly admit that it was probable that Los Angeles would divide her delegation about evenly, but as time passed and it was seen, ho- ever, how many political enemies Gage has made, the Flint people began to hope for better things and made early in the campaign the claim that they would se- cure at least 60 per cent of the delegation. Now they are declaring that 30 per cent of the delegates will be opposed to Gage ni:rllid !that a majority of them will be for nt. This claim does not appear to be an idle one in the light of the results of the Re- publican caucuses last night, and- the ad- mission that the Gage people now expect much less than they were first claiming is taken as an indication that they see the handwriting en the wall and are heed- ing it. President to Receive Prince Chen. OYSTER BAY, Aug. 10.—President Roosevelt passed a quiet and uneventful day at Sagamore Hill. He did not attend church in_the morning, as is his custom, but Mrs. Roosevelt and the children were in their pew at Christ Church. No visit- ors of an official character were received during the day. The President to-mor- row will receive at Sagamore Hill Prince Chen, who is passing through this coun- try en route home from England. St Macedonian Committee Feud. SOFI1A, Bulgaria, Aug. 10.—The promis- ed congress of the Macedonian committee opened here to-day. Delegates from for- ty-five societies which are in sympathy with M. Saravoff, former leader of the committee, were Tefused admission and the congress elected officials favorable to General Zonticheff, the actual leader of the ccmmittee. The Saravoffists threat- en to form an opposing organization. —— e Fire's Proves Slight.
