H. Alford. Hearst Seeks to Gillett Paints Down MeNab in the gtate. By Thomas B. Sullivan HIS is the season when hope springs high in the breasts of candidates. The practical poli- ticlans of the Republican party have captured the convention and can place their hands on every delegate who will journey to Santa Cruz. When Her- rin goes into executive session with himself the decision that will satisty or destroy several individual ambitions will be made. But the candidates are buoyant with hope. Each sees victory on the first ballot and cannot reason how anybody else is so blind to condi- tions as fo expect anything but a com- plimentery vote. Optimism like this has its uses: it helps to keep money in circulation; it bolsters up the weak ones in the various camps; it affords a measurable divérsion for the public and clothes praetical fession that is suspiclous. Congressman J. N. Gillett was in town yvesterday beaming with confidence born of hope. Big, bronzed, rough-and- ready, just such a man as wins the good will of people, he greeted his friends and well wishers. He says he will win the nomination on the first ballot unless the foolish custom of giv- g complimentary votes to favorite forces him to wait until the sec- ond roll call. Everything political is lovely for Gil- lett. He expects to sweep the State south of Tehachapi and come marching up the San Joaquin in triumph. He was good to Bulla; why shouldn't Bulla be good to him? He voted for Bulla for United States Senator until he was po- litically black in the face and now Bulla will return the compliment. Congressman Gillett favored the Owens River project. That is another reason why Los Angeles, he.says, will be for him. As for the north, heis a fa- vorite son himself. So he sees an easy victory on the first ballot. As for the San Francisco delegation, Gillett leaves Gillett says he has not attempted to do politics here and will not. He will leave with his family today for Santa Cruz, there to await the coming of the delegates. But Gillett's picture is not the only one of bri nt coloring in the Repub- n gallery. Governor Pardee is en- ing that most satisfying of all ex- perience, perfect confidence in his abil- ity to win a renomination. He says he s more than 300 votes without any from San Francisco or Los Angeles. In- ferentially this is a suggestion that the Governor does not expect much from either San Francisco or Los An- geles. The Governor points pridefully to the fact that his Congressional district. Alameda, Solano and Contra Costa, is solid for him. He also has the San Joa- quin, and out of that unknown host, the 133 doubtful voters in the conven- tion, he expects to regeive enough to make him the nominee on the first bal- lot On the other hand J. O. Hayes is in the dumps. While he sent Mackenzle, Rea and Parkinson to the woods, he has not, to- his entire satisfaction, put Supreme Justice Lorigan out of com- mission. The fight betweer Hayes and Lorigan was a bitter one. Hayes knows that a favorite son cannot come plead- ing for convention honors unless he has |2 solid delegation behind him. Justice | time to secure control Lorigan was thoroughly aware of the same fact and fought to prevent Hayes from winning a solid delegation. While 2 Hayes delegation was pledged to vote for Lorigan it could be han- dled by Lorigan only after Hayes' am- bition for a gubernatorial nomination had been dissolved into a dream. Lori- gan had a majority of the county com- mittee behind him, and the claim is | made now that he has won the Fifty- fifth Assembly District by 33 votes. This 1 on the face of the unofficial returns, which will be canvassed by the Board of Supervisors. Hayes maintains & fatherly Interest in the Board of Su- pervisors, and it is natural that a howl of fraud in the Fifty-fifth District should be ralsed by the Hayes forces. If the Supervisors change the result in this district Hayes will have a united delegation and the hopes of Lorigan are likely to be among those things that never were. It is among the prob- abilities that Lorigan will send & con- testing delegation to Santa Cruz if the Santa Clara Supervisors throw out his supporters. Victor H. Woods, Surveyor General, was in town yesterday, saying a variety of uncomplimentary things abgut the Southern Pacific Company and Herrin. Woods took a hand in the San Luis Obispo fight and after some sharp skir- | mishing defeated a scheme. to pledge the Statejdelegation to Warren Porter. As an incident In the affair Woods de- nounced the raliroad people and shout- ed his praises of Governor Pardee. The Porter forces lost, and, although the delegation is unpledged, it is known to be for Pardee. It is extremely unlikely politics with some- | thing more than the character of a pro- | | | | | | | | This is the | | that Woods will be renominated for| the position of Burveyor General. Amofig the Democfats the situation is peculiarly Democratic; everybody has a rod in pickle for everybody else. In their sane moments the Democrats ad- mit that they haven't the remotest chance of electing anybody except the Governor on the State ticket and the prospect of doing that is remote. But there will be a g¢at and parrot of the State organization. Rumblings of the Santa Cruz convention of two years ago are in the air. It will be remembered that McNab made a compact with Hearst to aid him In his Presidential aspirations, in consideration of which service Hearst was to‘leave McNab to his own devices in_San Francisco. The compact was not kept to the satisfaction of Hearst, who now seeks | to wrest the organization away from McNab, nominate William H. Alford for Governor and turn the State Democracy into a pocket borough. Tae enterpris- ing statesmen who are engineering this scheme ingist that J.cNab is trying to cover & local defeat of his own by de- claring that he was not in any way interested and that the only issué in- volved was the attack of the criminal classes upon 2 most upright Judge. It is not so long ago, these critjcs say, that McNab took considerable pleasure in making fun of this same upright Judge. In the convention of two years ago McNab won the organizatios by a mar- gin narrow enough to make a mountain climber shiver, and it is quite certain that he will have to fight despetately if he is to retain his laurels. Hearst wants the California Democracy for future emergencies. The critical strug- iy |schools a Rosy Picture of Success. AXLAND, Aug. 16.—Having traveled over the State during a five weeks' campaign, Con- gressman James N. Gillett ar- rived in Oakland today, confident that he will receive the Republican nomina- tion for Governor of California at the convention which is to be held in Santa Cruz on September 5. Gillett tonight at the Hotel Athens said: Since I began my campaign for the nomination I have visited almost every county throughout the southern part of the State and in the valleys, and I am thoroughly satisfied now to sit down and rest and await the action of the convention. Wherever I have gone I have found hosts of friends, both in the Republican organization and among the anti-organization faction, who have | expressed themselves in favor of my candidacy, and I feel jistified in saying that I am as confident as it is possible for a man to be that I will be the choice of the convention on Septem- er 5. ‘While it is impossible at this time for me to give any- figures on what my ma- jority in the convention will be, I am certain that I will have a good work- ing majority. I have found that aside from the northern part of the State, where almost all the delegations have been instructed for me, that my great- est strength lies in the south, and in the valleys. While I have visited San Francisco and have discovered that I have many friends there, I have made no effort to carry my campaign into that city, nor will T do so. I am through with the fight now, and will walit for the convention and incidentally take a rest. One of the reasons that I feel con- fident that a large part of py strength will come from the south and from the valleys is that both in the Senate and in Congress I have always taken an in- terest in their wishes, and have aided them whenever it has been in my power. Gillett will spend his time between Santa Cruz and San_ Francisco until the convention assembles. Wilson Admits His Gullt. John Wilson pleaded guilty yester- day to burglary in the second degree.

ARLAND, Aug. 16.—Congress- man J. R. Knowland has thrown his full strength into the fight to nominate Dr. C. L. Tisdale of Alameda for Coroner. In this contest hetween the Alamedan and the incumbent, Dr. H. B. Mehrmann, some interesting political developments have come to light. They bear iIn large measure upon the oft-repeated story that there was double dealing In the reappointment of George Schmidt as postmaster at Berkeley. There was no double dealing. It was a straight out political proposition, in which Knowland figured as a stanch friend of Tisdale and arranged at that time with Schmidt to programme for the Alameda physician for Coroner when the primaries should be at hand. That is in great part the inside story of how Schmidt won over Fred W. Richardson at Berkeley. Knowland, who does not hesitate to declare’ his firm friendship for isdale, saw a way to make a political combination which should help the doctor along in his ambition to hold the position of Cor- oner. SPEAR FOR MEHRMANN. Schmidt occupies a strong place in Berkeley politics and desired to be postmaster again for four years. It was not a aifficult matter for the Con- gressman to suggest that a delegation from Berkeley for Tisdale would be ac- ceptable, and Schmidt was clever enough to take the hint. That is all there is to the Berkeley situation so far as Coroner is con- cerned, except one point, and that is tha fact that Charlie Spear named some of the delegates that will go to the county convention from that district, and Spear is supposed to be friendly to Dr. Mehr- mann, in that the Coroner is friendly with Governor Pardee. Now, Dr. Mehrmann enjoys justly a reputation for being a big, whole-souled man, approachable and of magnetic per- sonality. Those qualifications he will exert to break down what the surface indications show is a combination against him. Mehrmann says openly that he will smash into the Berkeley delegation and will take votes out of it for himself. He points to the fact that convention day is some weeks away, and that as a campaigner he can trot a fast heat or two. Mehrmann is working on those lines, and such of his friends as are interested in the gub- ernatorial situation say, “Wait until the State convention is over.” DISTRICT ATTORNEY FIGHT. THe Crowell-Brown contest for the nominationy for District Attorney has reached the waiting stage. Crowell stands pat, he says, with the Fiftieth' Assembly District , delegation behind him. Brown looks for support along the same lines as the Thomas fight to beat Henry Dalton for the Assessorship nomination, namely, & combination of the Forty-seventh, Fifty-first and Fif- ty-second districts, with enough from the Forty-sixth to carry the day. The legislative lineup for Republican nominations is practically settled, ex- cept in the Forty-eignth Assembly Dis- trict, unless the whole arrangement should be upset before the convention meets. This is as follows: State Sen- ators—Fourteenth District, J. Clem Eates; Sixteenth, Frank Leavitt. As- semblymen—Forty-sixth District, E. K. Strowbridge; Forty-seventh District, Frank Otis; Forty-eighth, 3+ For- ty-ninth, J. J. Burke; Fiftieth, John W. Stetson; Fifty-first, Rt H. E. Espey; Fifty-second, John H. Eshelman. pmisilc. L nodabam LEAT THIS DEMOCRAT. CAN’T San Bernardino Republicans Decide Not to Nominate Superior Judge. SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 16.—The Republican county cenvention was held at Colton today. After a hot discussion it was decided to leave the nomination for Superior Judge blank—this in con- sequence of the nomination of Judge B. E. Bledse, a Democrat, who, it is believed, cannot be beaten. The slate was broken in only two instauces. B. D. Roberts, a local banker and chairman of the county central committee, was beaten for delegate to the State convention by J. J. Hanford, an enemy of the machine, and A. J. Downer, also an-anti-machine man, won the nomination for Justice of the Peace of San Bernardino Township after a fierce battle. The platform adopted indorses the work of Governor Pardee, the two Na- tional Senators and Congressman Smith. It {s understood that the State delegation will go north unpledged. The nominations were as follows: Judge, blank; County Clerk, Charles Post; Aunditor, Walter Wagner; Re- corder, J. Frank Johnson; Sheriff, J, C. Ralphs; Tax Collector, L. I. Coy; Dis- trict Attorney, L. M. Speecher; As- sessor, J. H. McElvaine; Surveyor, M. L. Cook; Superintendent of Schools, A. S. McPherson; Coroner, C. D. Van Wie; Public Administrator, L. R.

Quinby, attorney for the Eagle Insur- ance Company, in Judge Graham’s court are nullified. The contémpt case, it is believed, must be withdrawn and the bench warrants be declared of no avail. If the Grand Jury desires to have Quinby appear and give certain testimony, if it wishes certain docu- mentary evidence produced, it must go through the entire case, as it there had been no action. Quinby did not put in an appearance in court yesterday forenoon. Judge Graham was about to postpone the case, but Assistant District Attorney Robert Harrison sald that he was will- ing to argue the case without Quinby. Harrison had put in considerable tes- timony to prove that Quinby did not know what documerts were required of him when Denman sprang the point that abruptly closed the hearing. Judge Graham continued the case until today, but will probably quash the subpena. The objection made by Denman struck at the very foundation of the proceedings. He proved that the sub- pena was not properly issued. This was admitted by the prosecution, and the case collapsed. Judge Graham had no alternative but to declare the entire case irregular. The proceedings were not without a bit of acrimony. en the assistant prosecutor went on the stand to testify as to what occurred In the Grand Jury room opposing counsel required that he be sworn. “I do not wish to question Mr. Har- rison’s veracity,” explained Denman. “From beginning to end he has done nothing but to vex, harass and annoy these insurance companies, so that many of them are now making ar- rangements to withdraw from the State and make thelr adjustments in other places. We have received instructions to see that our clients are not required to do things that the law does not com- pel, and in pursuance of that policy I tshall insist that this be carried out according to the law.” In drawing up the subpena that re- quired’ the attendance of Quinby in court Harrison attached his own name as assistant District Attorney. He neg- lected to add the name of the District Attorney or to state that he was work- ing by direction of that officer. There- fore the documernt had no legal stand- ing in court. After the overruling of the demurrer there was presented an affidavit from Quinby, in which he stated that he did not see the original subpena and further that he appeared before the Grand Jury voluntarily and that the order did not describe intelligently what papers or documents were required. BOARD AUTHORIZES INPROVEMENTS. The Board of Supervisors yester- day adopted a resolution authorizing the Board of Works to enter into con- tracts for the following improvements under the bond issue: Sewer on Market street, from Sec- ond to East, $100,000; repaving of Market street, from Second to East, $100,000; grading and paving of Mar- ket street, from Twelfth to Valencia, Valencia, from Market to Hermann and Brady, from Market to Steven- son, $32,500; sewer on Howard street, from Seventeenth to Eighteenth, $3000. The board finally passed the ordi- nance appointing ex-Police Commis- sioner Alexander L. O'Grady an assist- ant to the board at a salary of $250 a month. O'Grady’s dutles will include the revising of the city ordinances and the defending of suits filed that may affect the title to lands owned by the city. . The board deferred final action until next Monday on the ordinance relating to the construction and use of spur tracks and the granting of permits for the sam PRESIDI0 REGRUIT LOSES FINGERS. Private Pritchard, a recrult in the Twenty-ninth Company of Coast Artil- lery, accidentally shot the two first fingers off his left hand while at drill in the awkward 'squad yesterday morning. Pritchard borrowed the gun from a friend and did not know that it was loaded until it went off when he lowered it to the ground a little too hard. He was sent to the General Hos- pital, where it was found necessary to amputate the shattered fingers at the knuckles. As son as he is able to leave the hos- pital Pritchard will be given a dis- ability discharge from the army, but owing to the fact that all recruits are forbidden to carry a loaded gun at drill he will not be allowed to apply for a pension. Corporal John L. Garrison of the Sixty-seventh Company of Coast Ar- tillery has been reduced to a private and is now waiting trial before a gen- eral court-martial. He 1s accused of having raised a canteen check from 50 cents to $7.50 and selling it to another soldler for $5. Garrison once made a poor attempt to commit suicide. Al- though he claims he turned the gas on at 11 o'clock at night, he was hardly unconscious. when found at 8 o'clock the next morning. = Owing to the fact that every officer on duty in the Yosemite Valley is a witness in the case of a private in a company on duty there, a board of offi- cers has been appointed from the Pre- sidio to meet In the valley on August 22 to try the case. The officers de- tailed on the board are: Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Garrard, Fourteenth Cavalry; Captain George B. Pond, Twentieth Infantry; Lieutenant Oliver P. M.
