BATTLE OF BALLOTS TO-DAY
THE CHAR FIGHTING HARD FOR
 THE PRIMARIES.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 9.-Boss Req, the MackenZies and their lieutenants held several conferences to-day and plans were gone over for the capture of the primaries tomorrow. These were com pleted and the machinery was we'll greased and got into readiness.
 Never before has the ring been so worried over the outcome of primaries, and never before have such desperate means been decided upon in order to carry the elections. The principal fight will be in the city, where Rea has all the election officers. He has decided to get control of the delegations from the First and Fourth wards. To accom- plish this there will be wholesale vot- ing of gang Democrats, and If this is not sufficient to offset the efforts of the honest and fair voters the ballot boxes will be stuffed. Orders have been given to the election officers to take no chances of losing the election, and these will be carried out implicitly. In the outlying districts the gang is not so sure of being able to handle the voters but will depend a good deal upon secur- ing the country delegations with empty promises.
 Besides the usual rounding up of It's forces, the gang has summoned all it's workers who are out of town. All the soldier boys friendly to Req in Com panies B and Nj, who could possibly get away, are home in the interest of machine politics. These with the Dem ocrats who will assist Req make quite a showing.
 fighting for the purification of the Re publican party are the Good Govern ment Club and independent Republi- cans. They are we'll organized through out the county and have placed oppo- sition tickets in the field in all the pre- cincts. They claim they will win most of the country districts, and present in dications support this claim. Their tickets contain the names of the best citizens of the party, and this should go a long way toward electing them.
 The delegates to the State and Con- gressional conventions named by the Good Government Club are as follows:
 Fifty-fourth Assembly DIIstriet,;L. Barn tain View; D. H. Coates. Campbell: B; G. Hurlburt. Campbell; E. c. Hurff, San Jose J. R. Johns Gdpsrttlbno; J. dIeas MIIler, Park; Alexander Peers, Mayfield; S. P. Sanders, Moreland; J. J. sontheimer, San Jose; c. Jones Cat large), San Jose.
 Fifty-fifth Assembly District-T. Ellard Beans, San Jose; J. Coykendall, Hester; c. F. Freitag, San Jose; N. A. Haskell, R. Patton, San Jose; Mitchell Phillips, San Jose; A. E. Wilder, San Jose; Mai for A K. Whitton, San Jose; w II. Wright, San Jose; c Jones Cat largel, San Jose.
 F,iftyz1sixth Assembly District-F; H. Hague, Soils; E. w Herrold, Morgan Hill: Simeon Holland. Evergreen; w. ". Parks, Alviso; J. J. Stanfield, Los Gates; ote E. Topham, Milpitas; c. Jones (at large), San Jose.
 These are strong tickets, and if the Republicans who are opposed to boss ism and corrupt politics turn out and work at the polls they are sure of sue cess. The delegations will be credit to the Republican party and Santa Clara County at Sacrapento, as they will go to the convention free from all taint of bossism.
 If Rea secures control of the county convention the defeat of the Republi- can party in Santa Clara County next fall is certain. County politics Is so gang-ridden that rather than vote for a machine ticket the better class of voters will stay away from the polls at the gubernatorial election, and this lack of interest in Santa Clara County may cost the party the Governorship.
 The Democratic County Central Com mittee will aid the Good Government Club in watching the polls tomorrow. The names of all Democrats who vote will be taken down and they will be de- barred from political preferment in their own ranks.
 Jim" Req has named the following delegates to the State convention:
