Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Nov. For the past sev- eral days the Examiner has endeavored to stir up strife in the ranks of the Re publicans of Santa Clara County in re- gard to the State ticket and stampede voters to Mcguire. It asserts that the Good Government League will oppose the legislative nominees and the State ticket of the Republican party and also refuse to vote for Congressman Loud because of his animosity toward Rea-
 This is false and tho vituperations of the Examiner are solely for the pur- pose of causing dissension in the Repub- lican ranks. The Good Government League members are strong in de- nouncing the statement as untrue. The leagues 2500 votes will go soIidly for Gage and Loud and these two will re- ceive the largest vote ever cast in Santa Clara County for Governor and Con- gressman.
 In speaking of the attitude of the Examiner, F. A. Hayes, president of the Good Government League, to-day said:
 "The Examiner is mistaken and the articles in which we are mentioned as opposing State and Congressional tickets are false. So far as I know and my position is such I think would know, If there were any great disaf- fection-the members of the Good Gov ernment League are going to vote to a man for the State and Congressional tickets. I have not heard of one of our members who would make exception to a single candidate. We are ali loyal Republicans and are working for the success of Gage and Loud. AS to the county candidates in this election, our motto is: Good men for county officials regardless of party affiliations, who will ca,- ho nd m fha hnSSpz , t
 Mitchell Phillips, chairman of the campaign committee of the Good Gov ernment League, Is confident of the success of the State ticket. He said:
 When substantial men conduct a campaign so thoroughly at their own expense, and have the largest meetings of any party in the field, furnish their own speak CTS, and their members come in Satur- day after Saturday to the number of several hundred, it certainly must i'm press those people who are indifferent to politics that something is wrong. Before the Good Government League indorsed its non-partisan ticket it was given such a thorough scrutiny that 1t certainly must be an exceptionally strong ticket to have stood the test. There are no officeseekers in the league the pledge and membership forbid 1t. The following list of men will show the
 
 the membership of the organization, and unless the movement had the wei fare of the county at heart 1t would be to identify them with us:

 Owing to the shameless frauds and tactics employed by the ring at the last Republican primary, at tention was attracted to the league, and we received a large accession of | who heretofore did not inter- est themselves in politics except to vote for the ticket that was the product of the gang The dictum of Republican State Convention that no partisan Is bound by the decision of a dishonest will be the means of taking from the gang many of its votes cast at San loses disreputable primaries. Reports from all over the county indi- cate the success of the Republican State ticket"
