to see what Pardee had to say about 1t. There was not a word. editorially, re- gardine the matter, but on one or the local pages the individual who attends
 to the doctors personal booming de- voted a half-column to abuse of an at-
 tache of The Call, whom both the
 writer and Dr. Pardee knew perfectly
 well had nothing whatever to do with
 The Calls exposure. The flood of in- vective poured forth tells all too plain lv how hard hit Pardee is, and IL falls far short of its purpose. The evident intention of the unfortunate penman was to lead the casual reader to believe the article to be a denial of the charge, but after uncorking the vials of his own wrath he credits his master With mass of about as undignified, senseless rot as a cornered candidate for office
 ever turned loose. Like his hired man, Pardee carefully refrained from making
 a definite denial of the truth of The Calls charge and it would be unaVa1l- ing if he did, for there are many men in Oakland who know that Pardee and Browns political manager have reached an understanding.
 Of course the people feel ugly toward
 Pardee for his scheming to drive the nomination away from Alameda COun-
 ty unless he gets it himself and knoWl- | edge of this sentiment, no doubt, 1 prompted the doctor to rush into print again with the usual disastrous re- l suits.
 l Proof of the alliance between Pardee | and Hilborn, whereby the doctor is to ! do what he can to advance the Con- l gressman's interests, is accommodating
 daily and up to the present the doctor l has restrained himself from comment | on it in the columns of his organ Mer | from the country districts report that
 no effort is made to conceal the exist | ence of the compact in their districts and the Metcalf men are becoming less
 and less tolerant of Pardee. Many o1 1 Metcalf's supporters are, or have been

 time, while Pardee seems to have the misfortune to make friends only to lose 1 them.
 l One effect of the Brown incident is 1 to increase the sentiment in favor Of ! an uninstructed delegation. Here In | Oakland, Pardee's stronghold, this de- mand is growing and it would not sur
 prise even his own friends if at least | three wards-possibly fotlr-revolted l from the doctors policy of dictation in
 the matter of delegates and, following
 Alameda's lead, elect men entirely free 1 to act as they choose.
 | Meanwhile Pardee continues to go be- 1 fore the people nightly clamoring for
 the unit rule, by which he seeks to cap
 ture the solid delegation in the event 1 of his carrying a majority.

: hesitate to resent it if the slightest op- -portunity offered.
 MT Laymance is right in saying there will be no contest here over the cleo .tlon Of delegates to the State Conven- ton, and he is also correct in his opin- ion that if the opportunity occur to dis cipf1ne the McNabs and Goulds and Peppers and Affords and others of that ilk, they will avail themselves of it with cheerful alacrity. w. w. Foote . leading the old guard in Oakland and 'Tarpey in full control on the south side of the estuary Alameda County will send a delegation to Sacramento pre- pared to unite in any movement for the purification of the party.
 Dr. George c.

OAKLAND, Aug. 6.-Throughout the length and breadth of Alameda county the. Democrats are most outspoken ln their denunciation of the McNao- Guuld-Alford plot to strangle the party in. San Francisco. There are many Democrats here who are stanch sup .porters of Mcguire for Governor, put they, too, with hardly an exception, are
 as strong in their criticism as those who do not believe in the Little Spotted Giant"
 M J. Laymance is one of these, MT. Laymance was chairman of the Dem
 ocratic County Committee for several
 terms up to two years ago, when ne
 was succeeded by Con. Brosnahan.
 Under his guidance the Democrats cut down the Republican majorities in Ala meda County to such an extent as to send their banner to Los Angeles :. County, where it remained until two years ago. Laymance is a Mcguire man. not a rabid, PopoCratic Mcguire
 fte.. who believes the Congressman s word is gospel, but a cool, level headed
 man who considers that under present . conditions Magulre IS me AOSI aNd4Id- -ble candidate.
 . To-day MT. Laymance discussed the situation across the bay and its effect
 on the interior of the State. He did
 not hesitate to denOunce the action Of
 the committee of one hundred In pre- venting an open selection Of delegates to the State convention by primary as un-Democratic and dangerous in the : extreme, and a proceeding that threat
 ened the annihilation of the party. .. Regarding the proposed movement looking to the unseating of the entire
 AIcNab delegation MT. Laymance ad- riiitted he had heard some such plan discussed, but could not say what the chances were for it's being carried into
 effect. He had received information that among the northern counties that would be arrayed against the whisper ing" delegation were Colusa and Glenn. which would send delegations strongly ;. favoring such a plan, and he believed there were many others if, indeed, all did not swing into line. He said it was q difficult matter, however, to organize a successful fight against so large a eody, thoroughly equipped for their own defense, united and led by astute politicians, while their opponents, di- vfded into many bodies, would find it difficult to get together for effective work.
 =. As to Alameda County, MT. Lay .nahce said there was no contest. nor would there be unless, perhaps, in a :. few instances where personal contests might take place But as to there be- {: ing two tickets in the field, as in the case of the Republicans, there would be rothing of the kind.
 :.. He believed the majority of the Democrats here were friendly to Ma guire and would support him, but he = also believed they were just as strong ly opposed to the great fraud practic- ed in San Francisco and would not
