THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WED DAY, AUGUST 13, 1902 RETURNS FROM INTERIOR COUNTIES SHATTER THE LAST HOPE OF THE GAGE-KEVANE MACHINE ] HE primaries held throughout California yesterday clinched the defeat of Gage. Practically all of the deleg_ates to the Repub]ican'State Convention have now been chosen, and the most generous estimate of Gage's strength gives him little more than one-fourth of the total vote. Arrayed against him is an overwhelming majority from which he cannot hope to gain recruits. Returns from yesterday’s balloting are cheerful to the dtal- — wart Republican host that demands the repudiation of bossism and the retirement of Gage. Railroad coin won the day in Sacramento, but the victory was more than offset by the result in Santa Clara, where Boss Macken- zie again met crushing defeat. In Los Angcles, Gage’s home county, which he has boasted he would carry solidly, he has scarcely more than a majority. Almost every other county that elected its delegates yesterday chose men pledged to work for the overthrow of the Gage machine. There is no longer the shadow of a doubt that whenthe Republicans of California meet in State convention there will be administered to the allied bosses a defeat so rushing as to retire them to political oblivion for all time. Aid of Democratic Angeles Votes Gives Gage| but a Bare Majority in Los ’ u ounty. Special Dispatch to Th,e Call. OS ANGELES, Aug. 12—With the assistance of the Democrats, who supported him almost to a man, to the complete exclusion of their own caucus nominees, Governor Gage has won littie more than half of the delegation that I represent Los Angeles County in the State Convention. The exact figures, up to midnight, in Los Angeles City were: Gage, 41 delegates; anti-Gage, 14. Gasge got about 70 per cent of the city delega- tion instead of %0 per cent, as was at first predicted by his managers. It was in_the country districts that Gage lost to-day. The ranchers who read the newspapers and who have watched administration said by their ballots at they wanted no more of him or his gang at the head of the affairs of the .

B3 Alameda Is a Unit for Pardee and Metcalf. Special Diepatch to The Call. AKLAND, .aug. 12—Will Dr. George C. Pardee be the re- siduary legatee of Henry T. Gage in the coming State con- vention? The general impression = that is growing in Alameda County is that Gage will not be nominated and that the Gage delegates that were elected in Cali- fornia to-day will be thrown to the doc- tor from Alameda rather than to Flint or Edson. Thg idea prevalls on this side of the bay that Gage will not go into the convention either because of lack of actual votes or because it will not be deemed advisable to renominate him, and that in the break from Gage Dr. Pardee will be the most likely to be bene- fited. Flint and Edson, having made ac- tive fights against Gage, can expect but little from him. 5 This belief is said to have inspired much of the harmony in Alameda County, while in other sections of the State bitter fights were being waged. The Gage supporters in Alameda County have not exhibited any special opposition to the harmony plan by which Pardee got his home county without a fight. The list of delegates that was an- nounced last night for Dr. George C. Par- dee for Governor and Victor H. Metcalf for Congress was elected without a singie break, and the only fights that developed on the Republican county ticket were tio minor contests for Constable. As for the Democratic, Prohibition and Socialist par- tles, there were so few votes cast for their delegates that they were hardly to be counted. The Socialists cast more votes than the Democrats, The seventy-one delegates that were elected to-day to the State and Congres- sfonal conventions will be for Metcalf for Congress and Pardee for Governor. There being no fight against Metcalf, he will be unanimously renominated next Monday. The same delegates will then serve in the State convention. They will vote sol- idly for Pardee for Governor just as long as Pardee is in the fight. Should Pardee ever decide that he is out of the fight for Governor the delegates will be allowed to exercise their own individual preference. YUBA REPUDIATES GAGE. Names a Ticket Pledged to Fight the Herrin Candidate. MARYSVILLE, Aug. 12—The Repub- lican primaries held here this evening re- sulted in the election of the following delegates to the State convention: Wal- lace Dinsmore, Espie A. White, E. T. Manwell, A. G. Wheaton, W. B. Meek and E. A. Forbes. The selection of the delegates was left by the county central committee practically in the hands of Senator W. M. Cutter, who named all but one of the entire list. Cutter opposes Gage and it is understood chose only such- men as would promise to fight the Governor to a finish. The delegates to the Congressional convention are: C. Got- walls, Byron Burris, William Slingsby, G&}:ln Hutchings, W. J. Bowen and John Stineman. g Division in San Mateo. REDWOOD CITY, Aug. 12—The Repub- lican delggates to the State convention from San Mateo County are: First Town- ship, W. J. Martin, H. W. Brown; Sec- ond” Township, W. B. Lawrence, George C.

Fresno County has seventeen votes in the State Convention, eleven being outside of the city.

In the | Utter Routof the Gan Down in Santa Clara. g Special Dispatch to The Call. AN JOSE, Aug/ 12—Santa Clara County was the only one of the fifty-seven counties in the State to hold primaries under the new primary law to-day, and the citi- zens turned out en masse to reg- ister a rebuKe to the State government as administered under the regime of Hen- ry T. Gage. This spanking was a unani- mous and complete one in the districts outside of the city of S8an Jose. So strong was the sentiment against Gage that the old-time Mackenzie machine, which has forced its obmoxious rule upon the efti- zens, did not dare place tickets through- out the outlying districts, as its complete rout would tear the mask of power from the Harbor Commissioner. In this city the Mackenzie forces fared but little better. Only in the Fourth Ward, Mackenzie's stronghold, has he secured a representation in the delegation to the State convention, and there he has but three delegates. It is doubtful whether he can hold these with' the rest of the delegation opposed to him, and they will not be able to swing any of the others into line. BOSS MAKES HARD FIGHT. Mackenzie made a hard fight in this city, which was directed by State Senator Oneal. Their workers were on the ground all day long, besieging voters, but a deaf ear was turned to all appeals. The victory of the people in San Jose to-day Is a complete indorsement of the policy of the reform administration head- ed by Mayor Worswick, which a few months ago was the means of routing the Mackenzieites from control of the ecity. Almost the interest of a county election centered in the primaries and a big vote was polled. In the county about 4000 votes were cast and in the city 1500. The Democrats did not poll ‘more than 200 votes in the city and 500 in the county. An especially hard fight was made to- feat Mayor George D. Worswick, who was a candldatf for State delegate, but the “push”, failed to shetter this idol of the people “in the late ‘city election. O.* A. Hale, an Agnew Asylum trustee of Gage, made a hard fight to go to the State Con- vention in the Third Ward, but he, too, was doomed to defeat. THREE DELEGATES FOR GAGE. Of the State delegation of 37, Gage will have but three, and in the county conven- tion Mackenzie will not control more than a score out of 150. The Republican State delegates are: San Jose—First and Second wards—Mayor | George D. Worswick, Councilman H. D. Math- ews, H. J. Edwards, Mitchell Phillips, San- ford E. Smith, W. C. Kennedy. Third Ward— J. R. Lewls, John E. Richards, Dr. J. W. Dins moore, Dr. P, K. Dow. Fourth Ward—L. M. Gaffnéy, E. G. Perkins and James Traill. (These ‘three last named are the only Gage delegates elected.) Fifty-sixth Assembly District—B. G. Hurl- burt, Jay O. Hayes, A. E. Osborne, Willlam A. Bowden, E. T. Pettit, Willlam P. Lyon, B.

I know that votes were bought at the that Mayor Clark, who made such a gallant fight against the tremendous influence = of the Southern Pacific Company and its “sack,” is overwhelmingly defeated. A large ma- | Jority of the men who are employed in | the shops voted as Herrin commanded‘i railroad. won the primaries m—’ 1 them. Many of them, fearful of treading on the toes of Boss Herrin, remained away from the polls rather than vote as | e dictated. | By orders of Herrin the shop men, numbering -about 200, were given a half holiday to-day and told to vote the straight Gage ticket. Knowing that they | were being watched Dy the bosses, who | were aeting under the imstructions of | Boss Herrin, many of them went to the different polling places and cast the bal- lot that was handed to them. Those who refused to be branded as slaves by Her- rin did not vote, as they knew that to be seen at the polls and not cast their bal- lots for Gage and Herrin would mean that they would lose their positions in the.| shops. There was scarcely a ward heeler | of any note who was not out to-day buy- ing votes with the money of the railroad ccmpany. FOUR LLARS PER VOTE. | From a ¥eliable source it was learned . that the Southern Pacific Company ex- pended more than $10,000 to carry the pri- maries. Votes were bought at the rate of $4 aplece, which price is unusual even in the city of Sacramento. From the time of | the opening of the polls professional ward, heelers were busy buying votes. The Gage forces were well organized and In | many polling places they had at least a| dozen subservient tools who were will-| ing to take chances on being sent to the | penitentiary in orfler to gain votes ror‘ the regular ticket. | After voting the men who were willing | to be bought, the gang waited for the | shop employes and saw that they voted | the ticket that was opposed to Mayor | Clark, | At 2 o’clock this afterncon Mayor Clark | and his faithful followers gave up the fight. They had expected that the men in the shops would disobey Herrin's order and vote as they pleased, but when they saw them go to the polls with the Gage tickat in thelr hands they realized that | they were beaten and withdrew. BEATEN BY THE “SACK.” In .speaking of his defeat to-night, Mayor Clark said: Only the powerful influence of the raiiroad company could have beaten us. We had all | the representative business men with us, and | had it not been for the interference of Mr. Her- | rin I am satisfled that we would have won | by a large majority. The potent “sack’” of the raflroad cut an im- | rate of $4 each, which is an unusual price even in a fight of the railroad agatnst the people of Sacramento. Still 1 am satisfled that Gage will not be renom- inated. The citizens of this city are opposed to him, and I do not think that even Herrin, the dictator of the politics of the Southern Pacifle Company, will attempt to force him down the throats of the respectable people of this State. Gage capmot win, and nobody knows it better than Mr. Herrin. Had our delegates to the State convention won it was our intention to show Gage In his true colors and prevent his renomination if possible. .I am still of the opinion that he is a disgrace to the guberna- torial chair and should be relegated to private lfe. ROUND-UP OF WOREKMEN. The anti-Gage forces blame T. W. Heint- zleman as much as Herrin for their de- feat of to-day. Heintzleman is the master mechanic at the shops and is in full charge of the men. With the assistance of James Camp, his trusted lieutenant, who also is employed in the shops, Heint- zleman, following the instructions of Boss Herrin, went among the railroad men and warned them that unless they voted for the straight Gage ticket they would have to seek other employment. Knowing that Heintzleman was in a position to carry this threat into execution, a large majority of the railroad employes, many of whom have large families depending upon them, rather than take the chance of losing their jobs, went to the polls and voted according to the instructions issued by Boss Herrin. Hiram Johnson, the brilllant young at- torney whose voice was heard during the campaign in apposition to the gang that is now in control, places the responsibility of defcat on Herrin and the bosses of the raiiroad shops. Said he to-night: We had the fight won until Herrin in his palatial car came to this city and issued the in. femous order to the men in the shops to v for Gage or suffer being deprived of the means Mo earn a M hood. 1 had hoped that the honest toilers in the shops would ignore his commands, but it seems that the influence of Heintzleman had the necessary effect and they voted as the Southern Pacific attorney dic- tated. The portentous “sack’ which the railroad sent here also contributed to our defeat. How could we expect to win when the opposition was buying votes at the rate of $i each” Wa made a gallant fight in the face of the tre- mendous opposition against us, but I sincerely Tegret to say that we lost. Gase, however, is a beaten man. Even if he is nominated, the people of Sacramento will not vote for him. Notwithstanding the frantic efforts of the rail- road company, he is doomed. Gage, in my opinion, is a disgrace to the State, and the sooner he is sent back to Los Angeles to re- sume the practice of law the better off will be the people of California. To-night the Gage forces, headed by a band, marched the streets, lustily pro- claiming their victory. L o O e e o e !
