CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAKLAND.
 Aug. '25.-Dr. George c. Pardee and Sen-
 ator Guy c. Earl returned from Sacra-
 mento this evening, and their attention
 was at once called to the letter made
 public by James Stanley. The two gen.
 tlemen sat in the doctors library and mar
 rated in detail all that happened in con-
 nection with trading the Alameda delega-
 ton at the State Convention.
 "The statement made by Stanley" said
 Dr. Pardee, lis farcical, and his assump-
 ton that Senator Earl betrayed me at
 Sacramento is as false and ridiculous as
 1t is gratuitous. The statement Is so
 clearly the utterance of disappointed
 candidate as to be unworthy of notice.
 Senator Earl had and still has my im-
 plicit confidence, and I will swear that he did everything possible at Sacramento to further my cause. He acted judicious- ly and honorably, and all statements to the contrary are unqualifiedly false. Noth- ing was done without consulting me. Earl was the only man who succeeded in in- ducing one of the slate men to break away from the leadership, and this was done by Brown of Calaveras when he voted for Campbell for chairman of the
 Senator Earl referred to the passage of the resolution by the Alameda caucus that gave Dr. Pardee absolute control of fifty-nine of the delegation and partial control of the remaining nine. He then said: .Mr Stanley has misrepresented matters from beginning to end. He as sumes all kinds of false and illogical posi- tions and then proceeds to immolate me upon the altar of his own baseless theories.
 ''Mr Stanley only came from the Klon- dike after pr. Pardee had really won his fight in Washington township, Yet he says that because of the stand he took on behalf of Pardee he was promised the support of his entire delegation from this county in his fight for State Equalizer. I have yet to find with whom he had such an assurance, for everybody whom he has yet mentioned has denied any such trans action. Now, l will relate a little inside history. Brown of Calaveras knew he had strength enough, with some help from Alameda, to secure the nomination from the Third District"
 "He showed his strength and promised us twenty seven votes for Dr. Pardee. Owing to the resolution empowering us to trade, we agreed to give the Gala veras man fifty votes; this left out the Washington Township of which we were shade doubtful. After this was done Stanley met me and said it was contrary to agreement to trade on State Equal izer. 1 told him that it was unanimously agreed to trade for anything for pr. Par dee's advantage. He said Dr. Pardee was already beaten, and he (Stanley) nonnensa wanted the n delegation- 5 This was sheer plan on foot to combine all the candi- dates against Gage. and the test was to man.
 .'The test came. and the votes for Gamppeli that were promised by Brown, Fnnt, Dickinson and Patton, did not materiallze Brown of Calaveras was slate candidate, and yet he kept his trade and delivered thirty-three votes, SIX Tn excess of his pledge to Campbell, so as to help Pardee. When Stanley saw now the vote on chairman stood he pro- posed that we let our trade with Gala veras siloe This was preposterous. af- ter Brown had prejudiced his position With the leaders for the sake of Pardee. ana we voted thirty-two votes for Brown In the Third District Convention, and would nave kept our word and delivered { nfty but for the absence of some of Ala | medas delegation. That is the truth and l think that no intelligent man, much less politician, such as Mr. Stanley pro- 1esses to be, should desire any further explanation.
 As to MT. Stanleys 'befriending' me and his lifelong friendship I do not de- sire to speak. I have known MT. Stanley TOT about ten years. and when he was Public Administrator I was one of his attorneys. We have done business to- gether, but it is absurd for him to imag me that all the work done in Alameda county for Dr. Pardee was to be ap- propriated by him and by his dictation: AS 10 Stanley's utterances that l united With the men who made the slate and Who defeated Dr. Pardee, the doctor has already answered. Stanley says Guy c. Earl, who was making Pardee's fight, as- Sured me that after the gubernatorfal ngnt was over he would use every efrort
