OAKLAND. Aug. S.-Dr Pardees enc mics. have been delving into ancient politi- cal History again, and, as usual, the re- suit is. anything but comforting to the as pirilfg. medico. This historical research : has been carried back to that fateful f'Douy Warden" campaign of five years ago: when the doctor was elected Mayor of Oakland.
 These historians had already provided many; excessively uncomfortable periods for Pardee by resurrecting some of his speeches at that time, in which he de- claEed: II am sorry l was ever seduced into Voting the Republican ticket; The success Of the Republican party will be the forerunner of dire calamites," and similar. expressions of disesteem. But it remains for this latest incursion into the records of the dimming past to unveil the desperate attempts of Dr. Pardee to se- cure the Republican indorsement Of his Dolly Warden" nomination.
 And: in bringing to light this old de fection Pardees enemies have exposed Ais Canting hypocrisy more fully than il had -be6R before, pOrtraying as it does the Tact that while at the present time Par dee and his friends are explaining his past uttera[iees as being directed against the .'si4acIiine'' element of the party, he not .oulE. sought the indOTsement of that very elefnent then, but his most ardent sup poTJers now may be safely classed as ''nlachiu6' politicians.
 For weeks there has hardly been gathering. of the doctors SympathlZers 2 but some speakeT-either Pardee himself or one Of his ueutenanUS-has solemnly assured. his auditors that Dr. Pardee was driven tJ his course in withdrawing rom

 Mayor because the party had fallen so firmly in the clasp of corrupt and ma chine" politicians that he could no longer follow it's fortunes until 1t had been purl- hed, iP1imating that the purlflcatlon had been brought about by ParCees election on ar.independent ticket.
 Now tor the facts, as shown by the records: pr. Pardee, having first secured the Non-ParJisan nomination for Mayor, went to his friends in the seventh W ara s ana besoUght them to secure for him the nOIninauOn on the Republican ticket. Far dee. was a resident or the Seventh Ward at. the time, and member or the SeN- - 'eEth. Ward Republican Cup, an lnLItn- tiaI body having several hundred mem bers Among the friends he urged to help him was Judge W. H. Fiheld, one of the delegates to the county convention. A CaltcI1s of the delegates was called, all mi, A 4.

 - -.he Republican County Convention was held in the Coliseum and Judge flneid placed the doctor in nomination Tor Mayor ss he unanimous choice of the Seventh ...i-Her tbtre was trouble. A. 4. Moore declared Judge Fifield was not authorized 10 speak for the unanimous delegaIlon, as he Moore was unalterably opposed to Pardea Moore made an eloquent appeal and Pardes lost the Republican nomlna- . TioIq II was after that he so bitterly de s1oiInced the party, continuing to do so throughout the campaign
 = Now Dr. PaTdee is endeavonng to e1- riain those denunciatiOns by saying. the 1arty was controlled by the machine. If ever there was machine ln con frol of the Republican party in Alameda County il is now, and that same ma chine. is most energetic in making Far dee's fight rou.z..... oo reer il is gratifying to be able to call at tenti6n to the fact that time heals all wounds,- political as well as those or tne road attorney, who five years ago defeat ed Pardee for the Republican nomination f6i- Mayor. is now enrolled under the doc 1or's standard and is lending his ald, not GpenIy. for that would be suicidal, to ad- LanciTrg PaTuee's GubernatorIaI aspIra- .tiOnS. r,., :, Q: Attorney M9ore's assistance that prompts Pardee to claim with all conIlqehce that , e .wilr l?arTy: the First Ward, which IS ap- sOlut6lX :IT3der the control or the raiITodd' at-neXt -Saturdays primary.
