The temt came on the nomination for assemblyman. Jemett H, 'libbitte of Heildinc and Sac ramento wan defeated by C. William White of Weaverville, a Taft man. White beat Tibbltte In the latter* own home precinct. The Call de»erve« credit for defeating Tibbltts. former aeßembiy tnen, who registered in Sacramento in April, and who came up to his old home and registered in July, after orders had been given by the Bull Mooeere to steal the republican name on the ticket. This exposure by The Call caused Tibbitta , defeat today. Tlbbltts concedes White* nomination.. the republican legislative platform convention and thereby nominate Roosevelt electoral candidates under the republican name Is not open 1 question. The completed returns un doubtedly will show that the conven tion will be administration by at least 2 to 1. The congressional district fights fhow a complete reversal of form. In the new third district Frank R- Dev lin, the particular pride of the admin istration forces and the first president of the Lincoln-Roosevelt league, was beaten by former Secretary of State Charles F. Curry, devisively. In some precincts Curry beat Devlin by more Than 2 tn 1. and the partial returns in dicate that Curry beat Devlin In his home county. Mn the first district Clifford Connlek ■was backed by the administration forces, who gerrymandered the district to fit his political necessities. Hart. the Marin county insurance man, who van as an independent, is apparently an easy winner. Tn the second district Assemblyman ■Hvjtherford. who kept aloof from both factions, won easily. The third district fight was the one on which the administration forces ex pended the most *>nrrgy. (Governor Johnson went to Oakland to speak for Stetson before he left for the cast. Charles E. Snook, the Western Pacific railroad attorney and state executive < ommitteeman. managed Stetson's fight. The partial and incomplete returns in ilicatp that Congressman Knowland boat Stetson by a vote of something like - to l. John T. Nolan, in the* fifth district. San Francisco, and Congressman Ste in Los Angeles ar*> the only state administration congressional candidates to be returned winners. The control of the democratic plat form convention and of the new state .antral committee will not be deter mined until the unofficial returns are complete. In San Francisco there was an even break between the BeH and the Phelan forces. Tn many districts the democratic legislative candidates- were fiut In the field merely for the purpose of furnish ing votes in the platform convention. Both the Phelan and Bell organizations played at that game. Neither will be able to consider itself in rontroT until the attitude of the nominees as indi viduals have bpen disclosed. WOMEN VOTERS »\ ENTER "KICKS" Complaints of women voters were long and varied yesterday afternoon over the telephone in the registrar's office. It was an interesting study of the new voter. Most of the complaints were due to petty misunderstandings of the militant suffragettes, and the more militant ones came to the office per sonally to have their matters straight ened up. One woman, who had been married 20 years and registered under her maiden name, was highly indignant when the election officer explained that her maiden name was no longer a name in the eyes of the law, and therefore she couldn't vote. Another woman bustled into Regis trar Zemansky's office and demanded "her rights." "I changed my mind since I regis tered," she said. "I want to vote dem ocratic, and the man in the booth won't give me a democratic ballot just be cause I registered republican. I think it's an outrage that a woman can not < hange her mind. I want to vote, and vote right here." With gentle, persuasive tone. Zeman sky assured her that she had a perfect right to change her mind, but that she had to do it before the registration •losed, and every time she changed her mind she had to register again. "Well, I'm gt)ing to be a socialist," she retorted as she swept out of the office, muttering that it was all a nuisance. r LECTION BOOTH J- A "GREENHOUSE" ."Is this an election booth or a gov ernmental greenhouse?" This was the oft repeated question of voters who yesterday cast their hallol at booth No. 1 of the twenty fifth district, which had been deco rated from top to bottom with Ameri can flags, bunches of American beauty roses and furnished inside to a lifelike resemblance of a real country parlor. The embellishment was the work of A. N. Green and wife of 250 Clay street, who said they "just couldn't bear to see nice men and women vote in a room devoid of homelike corn forte." So early in the morning Green, ac companied by his better half, toted huge bunches of roses and geraniums to the booth, which is just around the corner from their home, and placed them in nice glass bowls, from whence came sweet odors to greet the nostrils of the election crowds. Borrowing a wheelbarrow. Green priod up one of his prize carpets and took it to the little house, where it was carefully spread out "so as to keep tiie draft from annoying the elec tion officials," he said. Next followed a small oil stove with a gallon of oil, several big "comfy" chairs, and a water pitcher with a dozen or so glasses. About this time R. A. Sarle of 3829 Clay street came along and suggested that flags be placed on the building. He and Green immediately bought a few and stuck them up on the ridge pole, and they waved and flouted in the breezes and caused much friendly comment. €ANVAS BOOTH IS A SUCCESS The use of tent booths in the election yesterday proved that they are more serviceable than the wooden booths, and* Registrar Zcniansky angjpunced -»■ that in the November election 250 of the tents would be used. Out of the 463 polling places yesterday there were 52 tents. When the showers com menced about 2 o'clock telephone calls flooded the registrar's office in com plaint of leakage in the wooden booths, but no complaints were heard from the tent booths. An examination yesterday morning showed that the tents did not suffer from the heavy rain of Monday night, while in nearly all cases the floors of tli« wooden booths were damp. Regis trar Zemansky says that the tents are far superior to the old houses in serviceability, in the saving of time in handling and setting up and the saving of space in storage. PIVE TAFT MEN I l TO FOUR MOOSE Only four of. the eleven republican congressional nominees are avowed supporters of Roosevelt. Two are in : dependent and five are Taft men. The j four Roosevelt men are John I. Nolan lof San Francisco in the fifth district, ; Charles W. Bell of TiOS Angeles in the ! ninth district, Stephens of Los Angeles ;in the tenth district and Evans in the I eleventh district. Hart in the first dis ; trict and Rutherford in the second dis trict are independent. The Taft congressional candidates who wor nominations yesterday are as j follows: Third dintrict—CHAßLES F. CURRY 'of Sacramento. Fourth district—JULlUS KAH\ of i San Francieco. Sixth district—JOSEPH R- KNOW LAND of AUtmeda. Seventh district—JAMES C. XEEO HAII of Modesto. Eighth district—E. A. HAVES of San i Jose. The rl-pfeet nf Frank Devlin of Vallejo :by Curry for the nomination in the i third district was »a severe blow to the ■ bull moose organization. Devlin has I held a. prominent place in the Roose j velt-Johnson circles and a great effort j •was made by Johnson machine to is in the nomination for him. The ; t'oterfl of the district, however, refused ■to take the bull moose program and ! gave the nomination to Curry. Julius Kahn had no opposition for I in the fourth district. I Tliis was due to the fact that the ! Roosevelt forces had no candidate who, I they thought, could defeat Kahn for i the nomination. Hayes scored a de ! cisive victory over Clarke in the eighth i j trict. The democratic congressional noml | nees are as follows: Firet district—ZuitiTralt. Second district-—Raker. Third district—Rokh. Fourth district—Schle*iaa;er. Fifth district—Coetello. Sixth district—Luttrell. Seventh district—Church. Eighth district—Holohan. "Ninth district—.Blow. Tenth district—Gingo. Eleventh district—Kettner. There was a hard struggle for the I republican nomination in each of the I districts except the fourth district, 'Which went to Kahn. The democrats j ' were not engaged in as severe a strug- ! I gle for the nominations, but there is ! apt to be a hard fight for representative lin each congressional district in the I state at the general election in Novem ber.

THE SAN FBANOISCO CALJi, WEDNESDAY* SEPTEMBER 4, 1912 REPUBLICANS CONTROL VERMONT TAFTITES WIN THE LEGISLATURE Contest for Governorship Is Thrown Into That Body and Election of G. O. P. Candidate Is Assured When It Convenes WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Vt., Sept. 3. — The strength of the new pro gressive party in its first lineup against, the older parties and the disappearance of the republican majority for the first time in 10 years and the first time in the history of the state in a pres idential year, were the outstanding features of the state election in Ver mont today. It was apparent early in the even ing that there had been no election by the people, although a sufficient num ber of republican representatives were successful to seem to insure the choice of Alton M. Fletcher of Cavendish by the' legislature. For many years political students have pointed out that any decrease in the republican majority in Vermont in September below normal of 25,000 has been followed almost Invariably by the party defeat in the presidential fight in November. These majorities which have averaged close to .10,000 in all the state elections in Vermont in presiden tial years since 1592 were represented today by a bare plurality. PROGRESSIVES PROFIT The republican loss apparently went in a. great degree to the progressives and to a somewhat lesser extent to the democrats. The falling off in the re ! publican vote began with the first re turns, while the progressives gained all alonsr the line. In some rases carrying towns that heretofore had been re garded nfe strongly republican. Yet the disaffection from the repub lican ranks did not extend very far beyond the head of the ticket. Many towns that showed strong j progressive tendencies sent republican representatives to the legislature, so that the party leaders were early as- ; cured of a substantial majority on ; joint ballot for governor, as the failure . of a candidate to get a majority at the polls throws the election into the legislature. Progressive leaders were greatly pleased with the result. It was pointed out that the party had gone into the fight with an organization new to poli- tics and was forced to makp m> with notable orators what it lacked in party management, with Colonel Roosevelt i leading the charge. j DEMOCRATS ARE PLEASED The democratic managers also de- | rived satisfaction from the early re- : turns, showing as they did decided gains over two and four years ago. They pointed out that these gains had been made despite the claims of the progressive speakers that the latter party would recruit some of its strength from democrats. The prohibition and socialist vote did not vary materially from former years. Many republican" leaders claimed that ! the threatening weather contributed to i the failing off in the party vote! These ! men stated that the recorded vote of Vermont was close to 120,000 and that I had weather conditions been fair the I party would have rolled up more than 40,000 for Fletcher. If the present ratio holds in> the re maining towns and cities to be heard from which is considered likely, the vote will stand: Fletcher, republican, ■ :.".A0O; Howe, democrat, 16,000, Metz i gar, progressive, 14,000. In 1910 the vote for governor was: Mead, republican. 35,263; Watson, demo crat, 17,425. This indicates a repub lican loss of more* than 10,000 votes I and a democratic lose of about 1,500, which, with whatever increase in the vote may be shown, goes to the pro gressives. PARADOX IS PRESENTED The flection developed a paradox, in that while in many towns of strong progressive tendencies, where Fletch er's plurality was, cut to almost noth ing, the republican representatives who will insure Ills election were given the same vote a,s in former years. The first returns showed a falling off in the re publican vote. There were several sur prises where the progressives carried towns which were marked on the cam paign maps as republican strongholds. The election was the first in years, IS not the first in the history of Vermont, where every party declared itself satis fled at the outcome. The progressives think they have accomplished much. The republican leaders, on the other hand, declared they were "very much pleased." The satisfaction of the demo cratic managers is derived from the fact that the returns have disproved the assertion of the progressives that they would recruit voters from the democratic party. The strength of the progres»lve party was more pronounced in the east side of the Green mountains than in the west, and also among those towns adjacent to those along the Canadian border, where the republican reciprocity meas ures were extremely distasteful. # COLONEL GOES AFTER WILSON] ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3. —Woodrow Wil son's stand upon the tariff, the trusts and the proposal for minimum wage scales was assailed by Colonel Roose velt in a speech here today. The colonel joined issue squarely with Governor Wilson, taking, as his text the democratic candidate's speech yesterday tn Buffalo. He delivered his address before the Missouri pro gresssive state convention. The colonel saw nothing of Governor Hadley, who remained at the state capital. The colonel was asked to advise the state convention as to whether it should name a full state ticket. "I feel that you ought to," he said. "I feel that except in those states in which we can take over bodily either of the old parties* we ought to run a straight progressive ticket." , Colonel Roosevelt, In concluding his speech, launched into a denunciation of John D. Archbold. "Arehbold, when before the senate committee, complained that the Stand ard Oil company had been subjected to Abyssinian treatment by my adminis tration," he said. "Thafs right. They needed Abys sinian treatment, and I gave It to them, and if I am president again I am going to use those same Abyssinian methods of punishment whenever they are needed. "That's why Archbold ' Is shedding tears, and that's why he made that wail before the senate committee. He knew what he could expect from me If he ana his corporation violated the law." PRESIDENT TO r PUBUSH FUND NEW YORK. Sept. 3.— Charles X>. Hilles, chairman of the republican na l tional committee, announced today, that, a complete record of all contributions to the campaign fund of the republican party would be made public shortly after October 15. Hillee said that in making this an nouncement the republican national I committee was fit>t actuated by a desire jto be regarded as virtuons, but took this course because the congressional campaign fund publicity act, signed by President Taft August 19, 1911, con-j taiived specific provision that all national committees organized for the election of a national ticket or for the furtherance of a congressional cam paign, must make public their cam paign contributions not more than IS I days and not less than 10 days prior to the election. iHilles continued: "The acting chairman of the demo cratic national committee made a statement recently that the committee would publish campaign contributions prior to the election. He was patting himself on the back because volunta rily he was virtuous. As a matter of fact the law which provides for pub licity of contributions in congressional elections is so general and sweeping in its character that it compels publicity of all contributions made for the pur pose of influencing elections at which I representatives in congress are elected." Acting Chairman McAdoo of the democratic national committee made this reply to Hilles" statement: "In the present temper of the Ameri can people it is better to be overvlr tuous than undervirtuous in the pub lication of campaign contributions. . "The decision of the democratic na- I tional committee to begin publishing the sources of all campaign contribu tions on the tenth of September was not for the purpose of being virtuous, but for the purpese of responding to overwhelming public sentiment which demands that there shall be no concealment at any time during the campaign of the sources of political contributions." TAFT ADDRESSES 1 POSTAL CLERKS BOSTON, Sept. 3.—President Taft to night contrasted conditions that con fronted a president in the days of spoils system with the system of ap pointment under the civil service, at tacked the democratic house of repre sentatives for attempting to limit the tenw , of government employes and declared that as long as he has the power, no government clerk need fear discharge ; unleps the JJnited State* has provided a system of civil service pen sions to keep htm from want In his old age. v» The president vfpeke in Faneuil hall to several hundred "postofflce employes* now in convention nere. He eald the job of President in these days is not a thing of joy when appointments are considered but in the time of Lincoln, he added, "must have been a perfect hell." More than anything else he has en countered in the White (House, Taft said, the filling of vacancies that are not under the civil service has proved irksome and distasteful to him, and three times he has urged congress to extend the blanket of the civil service to all government employes. PRESIDENT INJURES FOOT Taft motored in from Beverly three hours before his train left for Wash ington to speak to the clerks-. lie limped into Faneuil hall with his right foot in bandages and wearing on it a loose felt slipper instead of a shoe. The foot was injured several years ago while Taft was playing golf and late yesterday he strained it again. He was able to stand without aid tonight and did not use a cane in walking. At 8 o'clock tonight the president left for Washington to keep an engagement tomorrow with the International Asso ciation of Applied Chemistry. President Taft was wildly cheered when he entered Faneuil hall tonight. Congressman Green of Massachusetts had preceded him and had praised the president for his veto of the legisla tive, executive and judicial appropria tion bill when it contained a pro vision to limit to seven years the tenure of civil service employes. The president began by praising the "faithful, skillful, intelligent" em ployes of the government who have built up the machine of government in 125 years so that no matter what presi dent or cabinet officer or bureau chief leaves Washington for vacation, the public business goes on and the gov ernment wheels still turn. EMPLOYES UNDERPAID "The charge has been made," he said with a bang of his fist, "that govern ment employes are overpaid. That Iβ not true. I know hundreds of men in Washington who are not compensated within five times or even ten times of what they would have received under SUICIDE IS IMPELLED BY READING OF HONEYMOON Unknown Man Reads Tale, Then Drinks Cyanide SACRAMENTO. Sept 3.—After read- Ing an account in the Sunday magazine supplement of a San Francisco news paper how Jennie Crocker Whitman, the $10,000,000 heiress was taking 65 of her blooded dogs on her honeymoon, an unidentified man of foreign birth swallowed a glass of a solution of cyanide in the capitol park some time during last night. His dead body was found this morning by an employe of the park. The account ©f the honey moon was found in the pocket of the man's coat. SPANISH IMPRESARIO WILL INVADE AMERICA [Special Dispatch to The Call] NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Miguel Si gal - di. grand opera impressario of Mexico City, anticipates invading American ■ territory this season and a project is pending to tour California, appearing in Los Angeles in the auditorium and In the Cort theater; San Francisco. Sig aldl said today that Alessandro Bonci will l>e the leading member of his com pany and Mme. Lina Cavalieri his lead ing soprano. m ' MEN LOWER PRICE OF DOLLARS AND QO TO JAIL [Special Dupatch to The Call] AKRON, 0., Sept. 3.—Because they were offering silver dollars for sale at i $40 a hundred, six men were arrested here today by government agents. Sev- ! eral hundred dollars in counterfeits were taken in the raid. The men under arrest are said to be only the ««U,.«t. U\« f jcottßt«i*lt*rajS Jβ [modern conditions in other lines. I do ; not mean to say that I favor an ad vance in salaries of five or ten time* what they get now, but the rov«rn ment should assure these men of per manence of tenure and that they will be taken care of in their old age." The speaker explained that once he favored a system of straight out pen sions for government employee. After observation of the working of this system abroad, however, he had com* to the conclusion that it was not beet and that it made for smaller salaries and less rapid advancement for the worthy. "And now," he continued, "I believe in a system that might be called an i 'enforced system of pensions,' where the government pays part and the em ployes contribute as well." Taft gave his reason for the veto of the legislative bill. He said that not only did he oppose it because it was unfair, but because it would have ac complished nothing* but made the life of congressmen and presidents con cerned in reappotntments unbearable. T INCOLN PEOPLE L HONOR JOHNSON LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 3. —Followers of all parties today welcomed Governor Johnson to Lincoln. A nonpartisan delegation met the California executive at the train upon his arrival. Governor Aldrich enter tained him at a reception at his home, William Jennings Bryan came down from Fairvlew farm to attend a recep tion and luncheon tendered the candi date by the Commercial club, and Dr. Lucile Eaves, a widely known Ne braska suffragist, introduced him at the night meeting. The two prominent leaders of the democratic and progressive parties oc cupied adjoining chairs at the lunch eon and each spoke a few complimen tary words about the other. The governor made only two speeches during the day, one at the state fair in the afternoon and the other at the convention tonight. Plans had been made for him to talk three times at the fair and twice at the con vention hall, but this program was abandoned in deference to his wishes. He was somewhat exhausted on his ar rival and during the forenoon he rested at the executive mansion. Governor Johnson's address dealt wilh the plans of the progressives to "conserve the human resources of the country," as the speaker said. Pro longed applause followed his promise to give men of all classes their dues. While Governor Johnson was at the fair word was brought that enough voters had signed progressive petitions to legalize a state ticket in Nebraska. "Fine!" ejaculated the governor. "The revolution is on. and we are going to win in November." Again tonight -women were much in evidence, about fifty occupying seats on the platform. Many were in the audience. Most of them wore "votes for women" badges, which were dis tributed by the progressive committee. Invades McKinley'g District MATTOON, 111., Sept. 3.—Colonel Roosevelt today addressed a large jcrowd at the station here, devoting his speech largely to a plea to the Illinois voters to support the Progressive state ticket. "I want to say a word for Governor to-be Funk." he said. "I am glad we have nominated a farmer for governor. We're going to elect him. i ask every friend of honest government to stand with us." Mattoon is Congressman McKinley's district, and Colonel Roosevelt asked the people to beat Congressman McKin ley at the election, as they did in the primaries last spring. "The democratic candidate, Mr. Wil son, says his heart goes out to the demo cratic principles," continued the col onel, "although his hand doesn't. Our hearts and our hands both go out to them." Cummins for Roosevelt DAVENPORT, la., Sept. 3.—Senator Albert B. Cummins of lowa, in a public statement issued today, declares that he expects to vote for Colonel Roose velt for president, but is opposed to the formation of a third party. He does not believe that President Taft was the choice of the republicans of the nation. Roosevelt Sees Victory MUNCIE, Ind., Sept. 3.—"We're going to win this fight," said Colonel Roose j velt today. The opening of his month's } trip yesterday, he said, he regarded as I significant, in view of the demonstra j tions which marked his journey through i Connecticut and Massachusetts. GOVERNMENT READY TO RESUME OIL LAND SUIT Special Assistant to Attorney General in South [Special Dispatch to The Call] LOS ANGELES, Sept. 3.—Arranging to resume the government's famous $10,000,000 Elk Hills oil land suit against the Southern Pacific in this city September 10, instead of at San Francisco, J. C. Crawford, special as sistant to the attorney general, ar rived from San Francisco today to meet Attorney Willis N. Mills, who is due tomorrow. W. H. Bennett of the fed eral field service accompanied Crawford. 'fWe have until September 15 to com plete the government's case," said Crawford, "but it is likely that we will ask for an extension of time. "The government's case fared well in the east and in San Francisco, but important cases still remain to be called." « CALIFORNIA TEACHERS INVADE NEW YORK CITY [Special Dispatch U The Call} NEW YORK. Sept 3.—A group of California school teachers and grad uates of Leland Stanford university, who are on a sight seeing tour,' ar rived in the city today and are at the Imperial hotel.

Ohio's constitutional amendment will be one of the most radical in the United States. Early re turns were mostly from the cities, but they hardly will be offset by belated rural returns. The amendments adopted include the initiative and referendum, home rule for cities, license system for saloons, the taxation of incomes and inheri tances, abolishment of capital punish ment, minimum wage, eight hour day on public work and 35 others. IVOUfKN TOO RADICAL The women agitating suffrage con ducted the most aggressive and spectac ular features of the campaign. Their aggressiveness attracted the fire of op position to suffrage but the cause of their defeat is to be traced to the Jiquor inlerest. These have been well Organized for years and found it easy to hay© their license amendment put through. It was also easy for them to turn their great strength against suffrage. The initiative and referendum amendment becomes effective October 1. It provides for the direct initiative upon petition of 10 per cent of the voters and amendments to the constitution and the indirect initiative upon legis lative questions. Should 3 per cent of the electors petition to the secretary of state for a law he must refer the pe tition to the legislature. If the latter passes the bill petitioned for It be comes a law, subject always to a ref erendum petition as are other acts of the legislature, if the legislature fails to pass the petitioned bill, or passes it in amended form, 3 per cent of the voters.
