THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1902. EPUBLICANS OF TTANY COUNTIES WILL REPUDIATE GAGEISM 8053 MACKENZIE 3 WITHOUT HOPE Santa Clara Republicans Will Rout Gang To-Day. Record-Breaking Vote Will Be Polled Throughout the County. SAN JOSE, Aug. 11.—Deep interest is taken by all citizens in the pri- v elections to be held throughout San- ta Clara County to-morrow. The vote probebly will be the largest ever cast in nary election in this county and as ge as that polled in some State elec- ons. Interest centers in the contest of the two Republican factions for suprem- 7. Two issues are involved—the control of the party th machinery of the county and election of a delegation for or against T. Gage for Governor.

STOCKTON, Aug. 11.—The report pub- lished in a Gage organ in San Francisco to the effect that Orrin S. Henderson had used both the Gage and the anti-Gage forces of this city and in selecting a dele- gation to support his candidacy for Rail- road Commissioner had let in several men favorable to the renomination of Gage %s false. Leading Republicans here declare it was inspired by certain Republicans hostile to Henderson with a view of weakening the standing of the delegation. Henderson was entirely dependent upon the anti-Gage forces for support, and leading opponents of the Governor took pains to satisfy themselves as to the gu- bernatorial preferences of the delegates before they were formally elected. W. C. White is pronounced against Gage. Irving Martin, editor of the Record, has led the fight against the Governor and published the onmly protests uttered by the local press against his renomination. C. M. Kenniston is the man whom Gage is said to have promised to make asylum man- ager and then “threw him down.” C. H. Fairall lost a judgeship he was after. | The views of the remaining five dele- | gates, two of whom are prominent labor- ing men, are so well known that the item as published excited only merriment. The ward meetings of the Republicans {his evening were characterized by great barmony, and the list of delegates pre- viously agreed upon was adopted without opposition. Situation in Fresno. FRESNO, Aug. 11.—Henry T. Gage will have very little support from Fresno County. The Anti-Gage Primary League, | organized last week, has been conducting | a vigorous campaign and undoubtedly will | overwhelm the “push” in the primaries to-morrow. Down in these valley counties | the “push” never fares well when the is- | sue is squarely drawn against it. The | only strength Gage may have will be in this city, where the tenderloin cuts a fig- | ure in politics and is solid for the Gov- | ernor. In the country districts the senti- | ment is almost unanimously anti-Gage, but the delegates to the State convention from these sections will not be selected until the meeting of the county conven- | tion, a week from Thursday.

Judge Hunter Orders That a Sweeping Inquiry Be Made. Special Dispatch to The Call. EUREKA, Aug. 11.—Both the anti-ma- chine and the machine factions are - claiming the victory Satur- days’ primaries. Just how complete the triumph will be for the anti- boss ring in the election of State and Congressional delegates cannot be told un: til there is a caucus. In two instances Selvage and Gillette ran the same men on their tickets and both claim them. Again Selvage declares there are several of the Gillette delegates who promised him sup- port should he obtain the majority of the delegation, which he has done. Of the county delegates elected, the Times claims an overwhelming majority for the machine. The Standard, which represents the anti-machine faction, dis- putes this and asserts that in Eureka, where the fiercest fight ensued, a major- ity of the delegates are not machine men. It cannot be figured with accuracy how the county delegation stands, as in many precincts both sides voted for some of the same men. In some precincts there was but one ticket., The county convention is called on August 20. The Grand Jury, which convened to-day, will probe the charges of boodling that have been made against officials in this city during the heat of the anti-primary campaign. Judge Hunter, in his charge to the jury, referred to the charges in the following language: In calling your attention to these several provisions I have in mind the charges which | bave been made openly on the streets and In the newspapers and elsewhere, 1f not directly accusing, certainly reflecting greatly upon the character and conduct of some of our citizens and officlals. These reflections relate more especlally to the management of city affairs, and have grown out of matters that have arisen in consequence of bonding propositions, rail- road and telephone franchises or privileges, sewer contracts, and, perhaps, other matters of a similar nature. It is the duty of the Grand Jury to inves- tigate these matters which for months have | been engaging the attention of the public, and | Which are of vital importance to the citizens | of this county. If any one has any evidence | to produce relating to the subject, let it be brought before you and the matter thoroughly investigated, gIving to every one an opportunity to be heard, and in all things acting with can. | dor, fairness and impartiality. If any person has violated the provisions of section 165 of the Penal Code he should be prosecuted, and if found guilty punished. If they or any of them have been unjustly accused or groundless insinuations have been made, the result would be complete vindication for them and full resto- ration to the confidence of all good citizens within the county. ‘The Grand Jury is composed of the fol- lowing citizens: "E.

LONDON, Aug. 11.—D. H. Fanning of New York, who rode into the courtyard of the Hotel Cecil yesterday afternoon and had declared that he was the Savior, will remain in the St. Giles Infirmary, where he was removed, until tomorrow, when he will be taken before the Lunacy Commissioners. He is in the same condi- tion as he was yesterday, but is perfect- ly contented, being well cared for by a friend, who made his acquaintance on shipboard, and by Consul General Evans, with whom his friend communicated. Fanning said to-day his residence was 106 -West One Hundred and Nineteenth street, New York. His money, $150, was returned to the Hotel Cecil last evening by the lance corporal whom Fanning took for a drive in his automobile yesterday. NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—At the office of Haas Bros., silk importers, it was said to-day that Fanning was employed there and that he had gone abroad on business for the firm. He was perfectly rational when he left New York and the members of the firm were at a loss to account for his condition unless it might be due to a recent accident when he was thrown from a carriage to the pavement. WRECK OF STEAMSHIP ISLANDER IS LOCATED Lies in Twenty Fathoms of Water and Is Believed to Hold Bodies. SKAGWAY, via Seattle, Aug. 11.—Word was brought from Juneau this morning that the wreck of the steamship Islander had been located by McL. Hawks of Ta- coma and Captain Finch, a celebrated diver, of the steamer Finch, assisted by the steamer Yukon. The wreck lies in twenty fathoms of water on a good, sandy bottom. The location of the wreck, says the Juneau dispatch, shows seeming incompetency and negligence on the part of the officers. When the steamer struck the rocks east of Hilda Bay she was run off shore. When the peril was discovered she was making for Hilda Bay, and she was within five minutes of Sandy Beach when she sunk. The bodies of twenty- one victims are believed to be in the steamer. in Hibernians in Convention. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1lL—Nearly 200 delegates to the biennial State conven- tion of the Anclent Order of Hibernians assembled at Harmonial Hall to-day. They then marched in a body to the ca- thedral on South Main street, where sol- emn high mass was said by Rev. Father Murphy, chaplain of Division No. 1. Re- turning to Harmonjal Hall, the conven- tion was called to order by State Presi- dent Rev. D. O.

City of Lios Angeles Is Assured to the Anti-Gang Faction. ' Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.—On the eve of the struggle at the primaries that will show what Los Angeles Republicans think of the present State administration and whether it is their wish that it be continued in power the anti-Gage forces express a confildence that is far from pleasing to the other side. There has been no boasting by the anti-Gage men, no claiming of the whole county delegation, no assertions that Gage would not carry some of the districts, but, after probably the hardest campalgn ever fought here, they say that in the division of the coun- ty’s delegation—and there will certainly be a division—Gage will find little indorse- ment of himself or his appointees. From the very start it has been a hard up-hill fight on the part of those opposed to Gage, because, of all places, Gage knew he must make a showing in this, his home county, before he could ask other counties to return him to offige. -Surrounded by his gang, he has person- ally conducted his campaign, neglecting the business of the State at Sacramento, leaving Dan Kevane in charge of his in- terests at the Capitol. During the last thrze months he has not spent a whole week at his official residence, but most of his time has been devoted to the ef- fort to induce Los Angeles to again sup- port him. GAGE’S VAGUE BOAST. To-night, at the close of the campaign— for to-morrow will decide his fate—Gage is sald to have declared that he is abso- lutely assured of renomination and elec- tion. He does not say what he expects from this county, nor would he enter into particulars and tell upon what he based his confidence, if he really possessed it. He simply made the flat declaration and said no more. The anti-Gage forces are equally con- fident. They admit that they do not e pect to elect every delegate in the county, but insist that they will divide the dele- gation and that, in this county, is equiva- | lent to a repudiation of Gage by his own neighbors. Los Angeles is entitled to 96 votes in the State Convention and'55 of these will come | from the city. Of these 55 city delegates, the Flint forces are claiming from 35 to 40. If they win only 30 they will have achieved all that they have ever heretofore claimed. They admit that Gage probably will carry the Sixty-ninth and Seventieth Assembly Districts, for in the former is Gage’'s home at Downey and ia the latter are Comptor, Dicminguez and otiher country points in which reside many of the Governor's nu- merous relativas. In the other 'seven Assembly districts of Los Angeles' County the Flint leaders declare ‘they have more than an even chance. Of the 41 delegates from the country precincts Gage probably will get a majority, at/least that is what is ex- pected, unless the recent expose of San Quentin rottenness by The Call has had the effect of changing a great number of votes. There Is no question that many votes have bepn changed, but in the re- mote country precincts it is impossible to know how manhy voters have been reached by that means. BITTER FIGHT EXPECTED. The fight tormorrow promises to be very bitter, for the feeling is intense. The anti-Gage forces expect to have to com- bat every trick known to dirty politics, and they assert that, no matter what the result, they will prosecute those who vio- late the law. Even if Gage should recelve 60 per cent of the Los Angeles delegation he will go into the convention with much less than a majority of the votes from Southern California, and will have to depend upon the northern end to pull him through. One of his lieutenants said to-day: “No, Gage will not get the nomination on the first ballot and perhaps not on the second, but he will get it if the State Convention has to remain in session all fall and winter.” Asked to be more specific, he replied: “Not on your life. We have a card up our sleeves which will win out, no matter how the first ballot goes. There may be some persons go to the State Convention who will not be permitted to vote after the committee gets through with their credentials. —————— Ventura Votes Against Gage. VENTURA, Aug. 11.—There were fierce fights in all Republican precincts this aft- ernoon, which resulted in big surprises. Judge W. T. Williams will be the only | candidate for Superior Judge to go before | the County Convention next Saturday. Not an Orr delegate was elected. The temperance element controlled the prima- ries. Every clergyman was out soliciting votes. In the delegation to the State Convention there is a division, but the majority are believed to anti-Gage. Injured in a Stage Wreck. GEORGETOWN, Colo., Aug. 11.—The Grand Lakes stage was wrecked near Coulter, fifteen miles north of this city, and five persons hurt, one fatally. The injured are: Louis Lafty, driver, internal injuries, will die; Mrs. J. Throckmorton, Georgetown, Wrist broken and knee dis- located; Miss Allie Tab, St. Louis, Mo., left leg broken; Mrs. L. Bradley, Kansas City, three ribs broken; unknown man, head cut. The stage was well loaded with pas- sengers, most of whom were tourists en route to Grand Lakes, a mountain resort in Middle Park. Near Coulter the horses besame frightened and got beyond the control of the driver. _The stage was overturned and badly “wrecked.

Constable Swears in Fifty Deputies to Aid the Gang. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. SACRAMENTO, Aug. 11.—After one of the flercest campaigns waged in this city in many years both the Gage and the anti-Gage forces rested to-day prepara- tory to the big battle of to-morrow. ‘While no bloodshed is expected, numerous mixups of the rjval forces are likely to occur. In order to prevent serious trou- ble Chief of Police Sulllvan intends to detail a strong'force of police in every polling place where there is danger of a conflict. He will have a reserve force at police headquarters to be ready at a mo- | ment's notice to assist in quelling any serious disturbance. Mayor Clark and the other leaders of the anti-Gage| forces predict a sweeping victory for decency and honesty. They are satisfled that the men employed in the railroad shops will disregard the or- | der of Herrin; the dictator, and vote as their consclence tells them. If they do Gage and his gang will be hopelessly beaten in nearly every ward in the city. 1 The State Capitol *“push” is out for Gage and is prepared to make a stubborn fight in his behalf to-morrow. Under the leadership of Secretary of State Curry they will try to get votes for the man who, according to the leading orators of the campaign,iis a disgrace to the guber- natorial chair. COUNTRY -PRECINCTS SAFE. Reports from the wards outside of the city are to the effect that the anti-Gage faction will win the primaries by a blg} margin. Realizing the futility of trying to influence the farmers of the suburban districts to vote for Gage the bosses are | confining their efforts toward making a | showing in the wards In the city. That | the potent “sack” of the railroad com- pany is here is admitted by the men who | are controlling the fight for Gage. They | speak of the ‘“power of money’ as an ! important factor in the present struggle and brazenly admit that the ‘“‘sack’ will be used in certain wards to help elect a | solid Gage delegation to the State con- vention. Chief of Police Sullivan has the | names of the men who have been selected | to handle the “sack,” and as soon as any | of them are caught buying votes they wiil | be arrested. ‘‘Stuffers” and ‘‘repeaters’ will be carefully watched, and if they at- | tempt to vote they will find themselves locked up in the City Prison. Rumors that Boss Herrin is contem- | plating another visit to this city to whip | the shop men into line for Gage are fly- | ing thick and fast, but they- cannot be traced to any rellable source. Even if Herrin should come here and for the sec- ond time attempt to coerce the railroad employes into voting the Gage ticket it is not believed that the honest toilers In the shops would pay any attention to him. CONSTABLE AIDS GANG. In order to intimidate voters and cause the police of this city an endless amount f trouble, Constable Henry Alter to-day caused to be sworn in fifty deputy con- stables, whose duties ostensibly are to | preserve the peace in the different polling | piaces. Alter admits his fealty to Bart | Cavanaugh and freely confesses that he wants to see him win. The scheme to have the deputy consta- bles appointed originated in the minds of | the bosses who are out for Gage. Thinking | that the membérs of the police depart | ment did not intend to give them a “square deal,” as one of them expressed it, they appealed to Alter, their subserv- | ient tool, and influenced him to appoint | fifty deputies, whose duties to-morrow will be to defeat the efforts of the mem- bers of the regular police force in pre- serving the rights of honest voters. A list of the deputies was prepared by the | bosses and handed to Alter. He at once sent for the men whose names adorned the list and pretended to instruct them. | They were subsequently sworn in and each | given a ribbon on which the words “Dep- uty Constable” were written. 3 As many of the new . deputies are professional ward heelers, the respectable element of the com- munity feared a clash between them and the members of the regular force to- morrow. It is known that the object of the bosses in having Constable Alter ap- point so many deputies was simply to We make suits to order for as low as it is safe for cus- tomers to buy up to as much as most men care to pay.

POLICE CHIEF’'S WARNING. l. Chief Sullivan is incensed at the action | of Alter, but is preparing himself for any emergency. Said he to-night: “It is apparent on the face of it that the besses had the deputies appointed in or- der to thwart the efforts of the regular police to see that every citizen exercised his right to vote. I am not surprised at | Alter, as_he always looked to Bart Cav- anaugh for political favors. It is evi- dent that Cavanaugh intedns to use the deluties to further his own interests, “However, 1 shall do my duty and shall prevent the deputy constables interfering with the right of any citizen to vote. If any of the ward heelers who have been | decorated with the ribbon handed them by Alter attempt to interfere at the polls for the purpose of intimidating or coerc- ing voters I shall promptly place them under arrest. My instructions to my men are that every citizen whose name is on the register has a right to vote, and any attempt either by a deputy constable or any ward politician to interfere with him wiil result in the offender being landed in jail. I am satisfied that my men are fully capable of taking care of themselves, even if they be outnumbered. I do not anticipate any serious trouble unless the deputy constables start something, and then we will take a hand.” Many of the peaceable residents predict trouble to-morrow. The appointing of the fifty deputies, they say, was for no other purpose than to coerce voters into casting their ballots for the Gage ticket. If this is_attempted there Is certain to be a conflict between the deputies and the regular policemen. Chief Sullivan is the appointee of Mayor Clark, and he is determined not to tolerate any interfer- ence from the deputies or the gang that is trying to win the primary for Gage. FINAL ANTI-GAGE MEETING. The final meeting of the _anti-Gage forces was held to-night at Fourteenth and E streets. More than 1000 people were present. Albert Johnson and his brother, Hiram, were the principal speakers. In an address which was cheered to the echo Albert Johnson flayed Boss Herrin and the railroad company for interfering in the present fight. Said he: We did not expect when we started this campalgn against Gage that we had the rail- road to fight. We did not want a battle with the Southern Pacific Company, but since it has chosen to fight us it is our duty to strike back. I think that if Mr .Herrin was put un- der vath he would be forced to admit that Gage is a rank failure as Governor of this S Sing in the lap of Tuxury, allowed to ride in a palatial car without costing him a nickel, this same Herrin, who draws a_salary of §40,000 or $50,000 a_year from the ratiroad comipany, has the effrontery to come to our city, and, after gagging our fellow-workers, order them to vote the Gage ticket or forfelt their positions. Does he think that we are slaves who can be driven whenever he com- mands us? I do not think there is a man in the shops who has not independence enough to_disregard the order of the dictator. Herrin is not our friend; neither_is Gage. Has not the Gavernor grossly insulted us by refusing to live in our midst? Like Boss Her- rin, he is an enemy of Sacramento. Gage is a disgrace to the gubernatorial chair. your time. “mm: ¢ WHAT A LITTLE PAIN IN THE BACK DID A man came to me some time ago and complained of a pain in his back, nothing much, only it bothered him ar times.
