General gossip along the political line is to the effect that Gage's boom is on the wane. Well informed politicians figure that he is 110 votes shy of the number re- quired to nominate. The Gage plan of campaign has under- gone a complete change. The original R R s e {1 GAGEDS" Flint Forces Claim New Country | Votes. Tl plan as outlined by the push contemplated such vigorous measures as _‘“spitting in the eye” of the unpledged delegates who | should vote against the Governor's re- nomination. It seems now that other and milder “‘blandishments” are to be used to | win the favor of the independents. The rumor was current last night that Gage’s name would be withdrawn before the balloting began, but the politicians who are familiar with the mulish propen- sities of the executive did not place any reliance on the rumor of his voluntary re- tirement from the race. It is the deliber- | ate judgment of careful observers, stand- | | ing on neutral ground, that the machine | | cannot muster a sufficent number of votes to renominate the Governor. In the coun- | try the battles have been fought out on | the proposition ““for or against Gage.” | Delegates elected to smash the boss ma- | chine cannot be won over by trading| overtures. It would be no surprise to the | politicians if a new candidate for Railroad | Commissioner in the First District should be introduced with a view of opening a way for Gage to wedge into the Sonoma County delegation. Undoubtedly the allied bosses have pre- pared a gold brick for Crooks of Solano, j Who expects Gage's support for Railroad | Commissioner in that district. | C. 8. Laumeister, Railroad Commis- | sioner, Second District, is not confronted | | with serious opposition. L. H.

The following resolutions were | unanimously adopted: | Whereas, The campaign committee appointed | April 19, at a meeting of Alger Camp No. 4, Army and Navy Republican League, to conduct | the candidacy of Colonel Leon E. Jones, reports | the indorsement of the thirty-nine camps lo- cated throughout the State. | __Resolved, That in view of said indorsement of 12,500 old soldiers throughout the State, we would most urgently petition the delegates to the Republican State Convention, to be held | at Sacramento August to cast their votes | | for Colonel Leon E. Jones for the nomination bt | Secretary of State, believing in so doing they will add strength to the Republican party in the coming election. G. W. ALBERTI, Adjutant Camp No. 4.

Colonel 8. W. Ferguson of Los An- geles does not mince words in speaking of Gage's short-sighted policy in connection with the irrigation measure. Ferguson expresses his views in this HOT SHOT FOR GAGE. The worst thing Gage has ever done, to my | mind, is the vetoing of Senate bill No. 7. That measure provided for an appropriation of $100,- 000 by the State for irrigation purposes. It| was expected at the time that a like amount could be obtained from the Government. I have in my possession indisputable proofs that the second $100,000 would have been forthcom- ing had not Gage. in his pig-headed efforts to make a record for economy, robbed us of the first. 1 shall present these proofs at the convention and - am confident that they will have more to do with preventing his re- nomination than anything else. His closest friends know and admit that he made a fatal mistake In turning down the bill, and I have heard that he himself says the safe thing. It passed the Assembly unanimously and the Senate with but one dissenting vot. That showed that the legislators, as well as the people at large, wanted the appropriation. But that didn't mean a thing to Gage. He wanted to establish a reputation for economy, and in his small way he thought & veto was the best thing for himself. But he was wrong. I would be willing to swear that 25,000 men who never voted a Demo- cratic ticket will do so this time if Gage s re- nominated. That veto should knock his chances higher than a kite, and any unprejudiced person will REPUBLICAN STUDENTS INDORSE CANDIDATES University Men Favor the Selection of Dr. Pardee, Metcalf and Senator Perkins. BERKELEY, Aug. 21.—The first meet- ing of the University Republican Club for this year was held this afternoon at North Hall, President Ralph S. Pierce in the chair. Resolutions as follows were adopted, indorsing the candidacy and the efforts in public life of Dr. George C. Par- dee, Congressman Victer H. Metealf and United States Senator George C. Perkins: Whereas, We, the members of the University of California Republican Club, do most heartily appreciate the efforts of Regent Dr. George C. Pardee in behalt of our beloved alma mater; and Whereas, We entertain the highest opinion of the ability, sagacity and Integrity of Dr. Pardee, as evinced during a lifetime of tireless activity in the service of the Republican party; therefore be it Resolved, That we heartily indorse Dr. Pa dee’s candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of the State of California, sub- ject to the decision of the Republican Stats Convention, and pledge to him our loyal aid and co-operation. Whereas, We, the members of the University of Californla Republican Club, recognize the inestimable benefit derived, not only by the State of California but by the whole Pacific Coast, from the tireless enmergy and_brilliant abilities of United States Senator George C. Perkins and Congressman Victor H. Metealf; an ‘Whereas, Senator Perkins and Hon. Vietor H. Metcalf are now candidates for re-election; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the Uiversity of Califor- nia Republican Club, heart®y indorse said can- didacies and pledge them our united support. The organization is composed of univer- sity students whose political affiliations [] Wfiwmmwmm [ ] are Republican. The membership roll is open for signatures: tion Men Say Governor Gage Has Done the State Grea Damage and Are Solidly Against Him. admit that if it had rot been for machine ma- nipulation Gage would not have had fifty votes at the convention, The irrigation question is the most important one the State has to face. It means every- thing for us here. Without it we cannot advance in wealth and population as we should. Without it we cannot get colonists here. Even if we get the bill passed at the rext session of the Legis- lature we will have lost at least $50,000,000 in the last two vears. Gage is the kind of a man Who canvot see $20 when a 10-cent piece is nearer to him. He has done the State more harm than he could atone for in a thousand years. And to talk about renominating him; it Would be suicide for the Republican party. When a man wrecks a bank do we retain his services to rehabilitate it? The Democrats all over the State want Gage renominated, so do a few political manipulators; but who else? 1 have been traveling up and down the State a great deal and I find that people are dis- satisfied with him everywhere. It's no use talking, he can’t be re-elected. I understand he thinks that he has the Catholic vote and the labor vote in his vest pocket. I know the Catholies of the State and the laboring men and they think and act for themselves. Such claims are absurd and must hurt his cause with both classes. I have been a laboring man and an extensive employer of labor. These men will vote just when and where they please and will not accept dictation. If Gage were my own son I colldn’t conscientlously vote for him again. I have the interests of the State at heart. The greatest hope of California for advancement is by irrigation, and Gage has done his worst for that. That is why T dis- like him. I do not know whether he receivel 80ods from San Quentin or not, but I do know that he has worked an awful and almost ir- reparable injury on the State. I shall be at the convention and I shall do my best to show the harm that he has done. SAYS HE IS UNGRATEFUL. The people of the districts where ‘land has MANAGERSHIP BHT 15 OFF -Geo. Schonewald Wins and Key Awaits “Indemnity.” The fiercd battle that has been raging at the Hotel Del Monte between George Schonewald, the manager, and the associ- ate manager, J. Barton Key, is at an end. Manager Schonewald and his forces have Wwon, and after the directors of the Pacific Improvement Company have settled upon the amount of the indemnity for Barton Key, the severe struggle for supremacy will drift into history. It was rumored that the directors of the Pacific Imprawement Company would hold a meeting yesterday and settle the question of who should be the manager of the Del Monte. The meeting was not held, however, but the matter has been settled. J.. Barton Key was telegraphed for to come to the city last Monday and was, %o to speak, Dlaced under sealed orders. He was in- formed that he would better wait in San Francisco until _ other arrangements should be made. J. Barton Key is a good man to wait, but day by day, as he re- ceived no instruction, he knew his chances of being the future manager of Del Monte were gcing aglimmering. Last evening a Call reporter was told been reclaimed, and where more ought to be, realize what harm has been done to us more than any one else, but all who know in what direction California has the brightest pros- pects cannot fail to see the direful results of his pinhead economy. Gage s too self-opinionated ‘for Governor. Just - before nomination and election any one can see him. After that he draws aloof from the crowd as if he were some sort of a superior being. He doesn’t care who he Keeps cooling his heels in his outside office. And another thing, he doesn’t remember what people do for him. I do not know him wi and I don’t want to. He is for Gage and never mind the State. Yes, he was economical, but what did it cost us. " No such narrow-minded man should be placed in such a position, and I fail to see how it ever came about that he was not found out before he was elected last time. Those interested in the passage of the irrigation act which Governor Gage vetoed have prepared a rather lengthy resolu- tion which they will introduce at the con- vention. The resolution itself is a recital of the benefits of irrigation and embodies several demands, including one favoring public authority over all water flowing from the mountains to the sea. The resolution suggests the establishment of a State board for the control of water. The resolution then goes on to recite the passage and Gage's subsequent veto of the irrigation bill introduced at the last session of the Legislature. The resolu- tlon speaks of Governor Gage's position on the water question in the following terms: ‘“We denounce the veto of this bill by Governor Gage as a cruel affront to the noblest aspirations of California and as a blow almed at the heart of our future greatness and power.” by a high official of the company that J. Barton Key was in San Francisco and that he would not return to Del Monte as either manager or asso- clate manager. J. Barton Key says, In reference to the affair: “I came up from Del Mont 2go under orders and was tol§ in this city. I am sorry that Schonewald Wwould not stay at the hotel if I was re- talned there as'associated manager. I came out from Washington under con- tract as manager. I suppose now that the only step will be for the direc- tors to settle with me for the incon- Venlence and trouble I have been put to coming all the way out here. I am sure that the directors will treat me right and I have the greatest respect for them. I would like to say one thing, however, and that is that T would like to have been appointed manager. I would have worked for nothing almost_ as I feel assured that I could have made the hotel most popular and increased the receipts a great deal. I wish the company had put me to work. It is not pleasant to draw salary and not do any work for it. I still hold my stock in the Barton House at ‘Washington. When I have severed my connections with the Pacific Improvement Company I do not know what I will do. I have not yet thought of any plans.” —_— e Three Attempts at Suicide.

AN JOSE, Aug. 2.—Jay O. Hayes is the unanimous choice of the Santa Clara County delegation for Gover- | nor. At the caucus to-day the am- bitions of all other candidates for | office were laid aside to advance the | interests of Hayes. All of the dele- | gates were present with the exception of | | two who were elected as Gage men, and | it is understood that the two absentees are willing to support the Santa Clara County man. The other two delegates | electad as Gage men announced them- | selves for Hayes. | . O. Hayes, who is chairman of the | Gelegation, presided at the meeting. The chances of Hayes in the governorship race were discussed and every delegate present declared for him. The Hayes bcom was officially announced by the | presentation of the following resolution by Judge B. G. Hurlburt of Campbell: We. the members of the Santa Clara County | delegation to the Republican State convention, | realizing that for more than twenty years the connty of Santa Clara, which from the earliest history of California has been strong and stead- fast in its allegiance to Republican principles, has never been accorded a place upon the Re- publican State ticket for any State office, and | further realizing that for the past several years this county has been foremost in its ad- vecacy of clean and honorabls men and meth- ods in the control and conduct of Republican politics, and that in that effort J. O. Hayes has been one of our most fearless leaders and most public spirited citizens; and believing that the time has arrived for the trfumph of | these principles and the assertion of such lead- ership In the Republican party of the State of California, we therefore most earnestly re- quest that Mr. J. O. Hayes permit_this dele- gation to present his name ‘o the Republican State convention, presently to meet at Sacra- | mento, ‘as our candidate for Governor of Cali- fornia, and do hereby assure him of our loyal and enthusiastic support for that exalted of- fice. Hayes made a short speech, in which he thanked the delegates for the honor conferred. He did not say he would not be a candidate nor that he would accept the nomination if it were tendered him. He said he would give his answer to the San Francisco organization, which had asked him to become a candidate. The Santa Clara delegation has engaged | headquarters in the Golden Eagle Hotel at Sacramento and wiil leave for the capital city on Sunday.

Geary as the Democratic nominee for Governor. Coming as this does from a paper in Geary's home city the editorial In the Democrat is looked upon in some quarters as a formal an- nouncement that Geary is in the fight for the Democratic nomination.

PO Spécial Dispatch to The Call. = ¥ TEWE RESNO, Aug. 2l.—After months of hard campaigning to swing the coun- ty delegates info line for their candl- dates the Gageltes of Fresno were to- day given a sSetback In the county convention that shows how really slight was the influence they had wielded. From the opening of the con- vention to the close the anti-Gage faetion had complete control, and not even the personal popularity of some.of the candi- dates whose fight had been made by the “push” was sufficient to save them from overwheming defeat. Stanton L. Carter, chafrman of the county central committee, called the con- vention to order and opened the proceed- ings with a long address. After paying a tribute to Republicanism and the great men of the party he turned himself loose i1 defense of the “push.” Absolutely ro applause followed Carter’s address. Then began the fight for the Cha.lrma{\‘- ship, but'it proved to-be no fight at all. Roy Hall, one of the defeated Gage can- didates for State delegate, was defeated overwhelmingly by A. Drew. W. R. Willlams was elected secretary. The various committees were Imme- diately appeinted. Then Congressman Needham, who was present, was called upon for a short speech. Shortly after noon the committee on platform and res- olutions reported, Frank H. Short, the chairman, reading Its conclusions to the convention. The platform expressed mecurning for McKinley and congratul tions upon the character of his success Congressman Needham and Benators Bard and Perkins were indorsed, as were Judge Lucien Shaw of Los Angeles, can- didate for Assoclate Justice of the Su- preme Court, and Thomas Kirk for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. ‘When the regular order of business was taken up nominatfons were begun, result- ing as follows: For State Senator, Dr. Chester Rowell; Assemblyman, Sixtieth g District, J.
