That degree team of Ods Dominion
Lodge has set all the other lodges on
fire and the boys can be heard repeat
ing some OF those eloquent utterances
IN an undertone. There is going to be
rough sailing for those who do not
commit the several parts to memory in
an intelligent manner as the writer is
inclined TO think that some lodge will
want to have the b5st team. Let us
give you hint. Be sure and pick out
the very best material from an intel
lectual and dram attic standpoint. OF
course every man has not the ability
and even that man wants to be able to
say that his lodge has the best team.
To make it impressive it must be real
in every respect and no one who can
not use the English language fairly
well OF who has an impeachment in his
speech should accept OF any of the i'm
portant characters When the AmpIi-
fed work is thoroughly presented it is
worth so cts. ahead and every Knight
should avail himself Of the opportuni-
ty TO see it presented.

on the part of some members Of the
lodges to attend meetings and some
are inclined to become discouraged
because others do not attend Well,
you need not VERY about them az
theV are apt TO beccn ne unidentified
in a few months and they will not be
any trouble to you. You'll always no.
tiee that those members who take less
interest in the affairs of the lodge
when they do get sick they complain
more about the other members not
visiting them than any one else. Now
gentlemen this is not the right spirit
and you should remember that people
who don't know you are not at all an
xious to visit YOU and Furthermore
when you break your pledge with the

same measurement to yourself.

ALAMEDA'S
 DELEGATES Left Oakland Full Of Enthusiasm for Their
 Candidate. HilbOrn COngratulateS MetCalf on His Nomination for
 Congress.

CALL HEADQUARTERS, OAKLAND, Aug. 22.-It would be a hard matter to dig up enough county officials to trans act any important business before the Republican State Convention has made its choice for Governor. The doors of the various offices are open, and there is in most of the departments minor repre- sentative, but political Alameda County either packed its grip for Sacramento last night or has gone up this evening.
 The purpose of this wholesale exodus to the capital is best told in little sto- ry with which Clarence Crowell, the new county committeeman from the Fifth Ward, entertained a Republican gather ing last Friday night.
 Some time ago." said Crowell, "Mor- timer Smith, one of our members, had a case In the Police Court. His client had stolen a loaf of bread, and when the Prosecuting Attorney had presented the case there was absolutely no feasible defense to put forward Realizing his hopelessness, Smith said to his client You must be crazy. When you go on the stand you must assume far away look, roll your eyes around, and to eV cry question reply, Spoons, spoons, spoons, each time little louder and more distinct.
 ''The prisoner took the stand, assumed a far away expression with his eyes that seemed to center somewhere near Gr1z- Zly Peak, and every time he was aked question he replied in a vacant manner Spoons, spoons, spoons The fellow took his part so well that after a few min utes' cross-eXamination the Prosecuting Attorney suggested to the court that 1t was very evident the prisoner was not wholly responsible. The court met with no better success in drawing intelligent answers from the prisoner, and finally dismissed the charge.
 'AS the prisoner was passing out Of the Police Court door, Mortimer Smith over took him, and suggested that 1t would no doubt be a very pleasant task for his client to pay him the fee he had agreed upon. The client assumed look that indicated his mind was somewhere away off in the Sierras, and said very clearly, Spoons, spoons, spoons, and no other an- swer could MT. Smith get from him.
 NOW, we want to be like that dis missed prisoner. No matter what any one says to us CT what We are asked at Sacramento, we want to say and know but one word. That word Is 'Pardee, Pardee, Pardee. ,"
 This is the spirit that animates several hundred Alameda Republicans who are nothing. and want nothing, but Pardee. On their hats and the lapels of their coats they carry that one word. This afternoon a large contingent of the Pon- dinkies left this city all wearing broad brimmed gray felt hats in imitation of the doctors, and also a broad golden badge on which is printed in large let ters "Pardee" The enthusiasm of some

Organize for the Campaign.

The Republicans of the West End of the Thirty-seyenth District at meeting held last evening In kirchner's Hall, organized for the campaign and appointed the fol- lowing officers: President, Thomas G. Egg gert; vice president, John Sparks; treas s s constitute the executive committee are Thomas G. Eggert, Louis Glass, Winfield Scott, J. c. Steele, M; N. Dodge, Walter Douglas and Max Knaur. The total membership recorded at the meeting Is eighty-five. It is proposed by the direc- tors of the club to give weekly ei meetings Convention at Sacramento, and present a number of able speakers to address the members on the course to be pursued dur ing the coming campaign.

of the delegation is such that one of them said jocularly this afternoon that it need not surprise anybody if a few of the dele gates should end their days bereft of all power of speech but that represented by the word "Pardee."
 "Old Pard" Bassett has been injected into this campaign against his will and his dignity. In morning paper yester- day a cartoon represented 'Old Pard'' Bassett doing politics for the railroad at the Palace Hotel. When Bassett saw 1t the wire cage, at San Quentin could not have contained him.
 Every intelligent person should know" said old Pard,' that the Bassett who was doing railroad politics at the Palace Hotel is Charley Bassett, ex-Iarbor Com missioner. When I ran the opposition ferry to the Southern Pacific, Charley Bassett was the one who fought us hard est and tried to prevent us from getting a depot in San Francisco. Then some fool newspaper makes a picture of him and labels him old Pard. This makes me sick
 And Old Pard walked off. saying how to beat Victor Metcalf in this Congress sfonai district than for Aubrey Jones to perform the task.
 Aubrey Jones, who. will try to get a complimentary vote in the Third Con- gressional District, is very anxious, to have it known that he is not a machine politician. ''I am not a politician in the common acceptation of the term, said. this afternoon. "I could not be politi- clan if I would, and l would not 1T l could. I am in the Congressional contest in the Third District as the humble rep resAntative of the peoples rights. We'

READY FOR
 THE FRAY The Local Force Leave for the Scene Of
 Battle.
Men With Political Hopes and Men With the Joy of
 Fighting Within Them.

At least a ton of political hopes and as- pirations embarked on the two afternoon trains for Sacramento yesterday. The members of the local delegation shook the dust of this city from their heels amid whisperings full of import and silent schemes that were lodged deep in the minds of the wise ones,
 Jesse Marks, in beautiful raiment, did enough canvassing on the boat to elect an entire ticket. Dan Cole. with his chin whiskers and his medieval smile, looked on as a spectator from afar. Ed Wolf and Julius Kahn, with Congressional bees in their bonnets, wasted not minute but piled the political hand from the ferries to the landing on the other side.
 With them was Henry George Wash ington DinkelSpiel, another aSpirant Tor soIonic honors. Harry N. Gray and Pat Clerk Curry at all times; and Sam Short ridge, with his silk tile and Senatorial de- mentia, exercised the glad hand with wonderful effect. Frank Grimes, Barney Tracey and George Walker. a trio that cast resplendent rays over the entire bay, forgot the Maine for the moment and did politics and were happy.
 The country delegations left the city In the morning, shouting Tor at least quar- tet of gubernatorial candidates, with the name of Gage ringing out above the rest. Everybody was crying for somebody or other and wanting to know why there was not unanimity. Candidates were scheduled rom the state HrlnleF up to the Governor; states were formed that will be broken and reset dozen times before the wise men reach the Capitol, and the struggle of the next few days was fought out and tapulated In the ar chives The name of George Knight was heard frequently; then Brown, then Es- tee, and finally Pardee, was placed in the chair that commands a view from Del Norte to San Diego.
 The local contingent prepared for three things particularly: The heat, both of convention and weather; a hard battle ing given opportunity to develop by the warm arguments in which all indulged. The parting words of Jesse Marks sum up the situation: Thank God we are well fortified in spirit and inclination. and it will go hard if success does not meet our combined efforts for everybody and everything"
