Returns from the south late tonight
Indicated another insurgent victory
among the Republicans of the Seventh
congressional district. Forty-nine pre
cincts out of a total of 250 in Los An
geles gave Stephens, insurgent, 2956;
McLachlan, regular and Incumbent,
ISI4. It is thought that the insurgents
have carried the city by 5000.
RETURNS SCATTERING
For the other offices returns are very
scattering. They would Indicate that
Johnson has carried to victory the
j jjority of his ticket, but an esti
mate of the vote is impossible. For
lieutenant governor, Albert J. Wallace
seems to have a strong lead, and the
only conclusion to be drawn from the
meager figures on the advisory vote
for United States senator is that John
D. Works has been nominated.
For attorney general, Frank Mc-
Gowan has ran a strong race against
U. S. Webb, the Incumbent, but Webb's
nomination is indicated.
For many offices there are no figures
at hand. As the Democrats had no
contests except in the Fourth con
gressional district, their ticket will ap
pear on the election ballots ns it did in
the primaries. In the Fourth district
Julius Kahn. the Republican incum
bent, was without opposition, while E.
P. TJey and Arthur MacA-rthur strug
gled for the Democratic nomination.
No figures on the outcome are at
hand.
From the slowness with which re
turns are coming in it Is safe to say
that several days will be required to
determine the outcome of the legisla
tive fights. No figures on any but the
gubernatorial race, some of the con
gressional contests and other offices In
a haphazard manner have been re
ceived from many parts of the state.

SAN FRANCISCO VOTE
REACHES HEAVY TOTAL
Returns Equal Those of Regular
State Election
BAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.—Fine
weather brought out a heavy early
vote at the primaries here today, many
workingmen voting: before going to
work. From the size of the vote cast
during the first two hours, the total
promises to be as heavy as at a reg
ular state election. It was stated at
Democratic headquarters that con
tests for local, district and congres
sional nominations in that party were
bringing out most of its registered
strength.
No disorder was reported from any
of the polling places, although the
workers were more than usually active
about the booths. The day was sunny
but cool, and it was expected the in
fluence of these pleasant weather con
ditions on the size of the vote cast
would be considerable.
At the several headquarters of the
gubernatorial candidates the men who
are watching the count tonight were
being organized. The usual rumors
that plans had been made to count
out certain candidates were circulated
and some of the organizations were
planning to take extraordinary precau
tions to prevent frauds.
Fearing a clash between the watch
ers for the rival camps, the police held
all of the watchers in reserve tonight.
The 215 polling booths which had
been provided for today's primaries
proved Inadequate. In the city and
county primaries last fall only 149
booths were used, as against 320 for
the general election, but the Increase
made for today's primaries was quickly
proved to be Insufficient and the regis
trar of voters stated at an early hour
that hereafter ha would provide as
many polling places for the statewide
primary as for the general election.
In the thirty-second senatorial dis
trict half of the registered vote had
been cast by noon, and It was esti
mated then by the election commis
sion the figures for that district would
be duplicated throughout the city.
By noon 30,000 ballots were cast In
this city, and Registrar Harrington
estimated that a total of at least 55,
--000 would be deposited before the polls
closed. Similarly heavy voting was
reported from Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda. On the contrary, reports
from Interior points indicated a marked
falling off in the expected totals. Sac
ramento, Eureka and others reporting
that the vote would not exceed B0 per
cent of the registration.
At the Curry headquarters In this
city it was claimed at noon that Curry
would poll 60 per cent of the total
Republican vote of San Francisco.
Similarly optimistic claims were made
by the Johnson managers with re
spect to Alameda county. Anderson's
managers adhered to their prediction
that Anderson would go out of San
Francisco with a plurality of 3000.
PREDICTS JOHNSON WILL
CARRY EVERY COUNTY
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.—Speak
ing for Hiram Johnson, Albert Mc-
Cabe, secretary at his headquarters,
said tonight that Johnsoh would carry
every county In the stato with the ex
ception of San Francisco, where he
expected Curry to have a plurality of
3500. The office was a scene of Jolli
fication. Many congratulatory mes
sages were received by the Insurgent
candidate and among the callers was
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., who came to
shake hands with Johnson on his vic
tory.
JOHNSON'S FATHER IN RACE
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 16.—Indications
point to tho nomination of one league
and one regular candidate for the leg
islature from this city. Howe, the
league candidate in the Eighteenth, is
beaten by Judge March. Bliss, league
candidate in the Seventeenth, has a
lead over Grove L. Johnson, father of
Hiram Johnson.
JOHNSON CARRIES REDLANDS
REDLANDS, Aug. 16.—Johnson car
ries Redlands about 100 over Anderson,
with Stanton a poor third. The Lin
coln-Roosevelt league carried the city
on the state ticket and probably on the
senatorial and legislative candidates,
but lost on the county ticket. H. J.
Mclver defeated C. T. Gilford for jus
tice of the peace after a hard contest.
JOHNSON LEADS AT POMONA
POMONA, Aug. 16.—Pomona gives:
For attorney general, McGowan 78,
Webb 167; governor, Johnson 128,
Stanton 124; associate Justice of the
Supreme court, Melvin 82, Sloss 103,
Wilbur ISO; congressman. Seventh dis
trict, McLachlan 192, Stephens 61.
HAMMEL NOMINATION IN DOUBT
2:30 a. m. —At this hour the nomina
tion of W. A. Hammel, regular Repub
lican for sheriff, i sin doubt. It was
conceded earlier In the night. Gains
by lie La Monte, however, leave the
result uncertain.
MAN KILLED IN ATTEMPT
TO PROTECT WIFE'S LIFE
HINTON, W. Va., Aug. 16.—Dying as
the result of wounds received in a vain
attempt to save his wife frm being
murdered, John Ailiss today identified
u.s liis assailant onr- of several negroes
arrested after the corpse of Mrs. Alllai
had been found near her husband at
Qulnton yesterday. There Is every in
dication that a lynching Is Imminent.
NEW PROCESS NOW USED
FOR BALLOON INFLATION
PAHIS, Aug. 30. —An interesting ex
periment relative to the intlation of bal
loons of airships haa neon carried out at
the park of the Aero club.
A spherical balloon of 200 cubic me
ters capacity was Inflated by a new
process. A powder, called hydrogenite,
packed In oapiUlet, was UMd for the
experiment. Each capsule, when light
ed by a match, produce* Imm diately
eight cubic meters of hydrogen, with a
lifting- force of HSO gramme*. The pur
est hydrogen, as manufactured by MM.
Lebaudy, has a normal lifting force of
1175 grammes to the. cubic tneter. The
apparatus required weiH'is about 1700
pounds, and the simplicity of the pro
coupled with the fact thai no wa
ter is required, makes it probable that
it will be of considerable utility for
airships In war conditions.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 17, 1910.
STATE IS WRESTED
FROM S.P. CLUTCH
Meyer Lissner Describes Fight
Which Culminated in Yes
terday's Triumph
ACHIEVEMENT IS GLORIOUS
Credit Given Herald as One of the
Most Potent Factors in
Winning Fight
MEYER LISSNER
Notwithstanding: the fact that the
first direct primary nominating law
enacted In the state of California by
an unwilling machine controlled legis
lature was made as difficult as possi
ble in its practical application, the vot
-1 ers of California have demonstrated
that they have the intelligence to
take advantage of the opportunity
given them to nominate their own can
didates without the intervention of
packed caucuses, primaries and boss
controlled conventions.
In the glorious" achievement of the
redemption of California from govern
mental control by the political bu
reau of a great railroad corporation
Los Angeles county has borne no small
part. The real initiative of this work
was started In this county, particularly
in the city of Los Angeles, five years
ago, when partisanship was eliminated
from our municipal affairs.
The success achieved In delivering
the city of Los Angeles from Its local
bosses, who were simply a part of the
state-wide Southern Pacific political
machine, encouraged those who have
taken part In that movement to en
deavor to accomplish the same result
for the state, and the Ltncoln-Roose
velt Republican league movement was
started three years ago at a very
small meeting held in the city of Los
Angeles, at which representatives were
present from different parts of the
state.
GOOD GOVERNMENT ASSURED
The people of California have been
ready for this movement for a long
time; they have not worn the. yoke of
Southern Pacific political domination
willingly or with patience; but It re
quired some leadership and some un
selfish work on the part of men who
were willing to suffer criticism, mis
representation and abuse for the good
of the cause. The result compensates
for all of that. California has been
redeemed. We shall have a governor,
state executive officials and a legisla
ture worthy of the people of the state.
The members of the legislature from
Los Angeles county who have been
nominated and who will undoubtedly
be elected constitute the cleanest, most
Intelligent and most representative
delegation from this county that It has
ever had the privilege of sending to
Sacramento.
Too much credit cannot be given the
Los Angeles Herald for the magnificent
spirit with which an independent
Democratic newspaper subdued par
tisanship In its laudable and successful
effort to assist In a movement which
transcends all partisanship. The Herald
has demonstrated that It has been
one of the most potent factors in the
redemption of the county of Los An
geles and the state of California from
corporation control.
BEKINS AND MANSFIELD
WINNERS, SAYS NORTON
Gives Herald Credit for Defeat of
Machine Men Who Were
Their Opponents
ALBERT M. NORTON
Chairman Democratic County Central Com
mittee.
The Democracy of Los Angeles
county extends Its thanks to the Dem
ocrats of the Thirty-eighth senatorial
district and the Third Supervisorial
district for the nomination of Martin
Beklna and J. L. Mansfield. Since the
famous Democratic county convention
of August, 1908, Democracy has shown
that It will nominate clean good gov
ernment men when put to the test in
a contest with machine men.
Unless later precincts change the re
sults from a personal eanvasa of tho
returns, both Mr. Bckins and Mr.
Mansfield have been nominated by
good majorities, which would have
been larger if some Democrats had not
been deceived Into thinking that be
cause they had signed a nominating
petition of Mr. McDonald or Mr. Hid
den they were legally bound to vote for
them.
Without any attempt whatsoever to
even suggest the naming of any dele
gate to the county convention of Aug
ust 27 the last work of the Democratic
county central committee will bo ln
domed by fully 95 per cent of the del
egates to that oonvetnlon. The county
centra] committee feels that ltl untir
ing work in building up an almost per
fect organization in this county to
work in the effort to elect clean, good
government men to office will have Its
effect in the coming election. Good
government is so firmly entrenched in
Democracy's ranks that it can never
be dislodged. The very small percent
age of Democrats who wrote in the
name of Republican candidates on
their ballots shows that Democracy te
familiar with the tricks of the politi
cians.
Let all Democrats remember that
from now on all our untiring efforts
will be used to elect our ticket nom
inated at yesterday's primaries.
Too much praise cannot be given to
The Herald for the remarkable work
It has done in the interest of good
government. Without Its aid the de
feat of Mr. Beklns and Mr. Hidden
would not have been posHlble. The
Democracy of California Is greatly In
debted to it for its magnificent work.
JOHNSON LEADS STANTON
BY 8000, SAYS CAMPBELL
BY KEMI'ER B. CA-MPBKIA,
Secretary Unt-018-Kooeavelt League.
~ Hiram W. Johnson, the next gov
ernor of California.
The Republicans of this peerless
commonwealth should be proud that
they have thus acquitted themselves In
this their llrst opportunity to ex
press a direct choice for nominees for
the various state offices.
It has been a long but a glorious
fight, terminating In a victory which
shows In no uncertain terms the tem
por .if the people of California as to the
U*u« before them.
Returns received at the headquarters
up to 13:30 o'clock this morning Indi
cate Johnson's plurality over Stanton
In I.us Angeles county at from 8000 to
10,000 votes.
I desire to take this oportunlty to
thank each of those loyal precinct
commltteemcn and workera-ln the Lln
coln-Roosevelt league of this county
who have, during the past few months,
devoted so much of their time, and
means to the fight for the estadlish
ment of true Republicanism. To these
men is the credit due.
ALMOST BLIND, TOTALLY
ILLITERATE, CASTS BALLOT
Board Declines to Help H. Bue
kowsky in Voting
H. Buekowsky, 63 years old, of 502
North Bunker Hill avenue, presented
himself at the polling place of pre
cinct No. 39, at Bunker Hill avenue
and Sunset boulevard, and declaring
that he can neither read nor write and
is almost blind, requested aid In pre
paring his ballot.
Ervln Dingle, "regrular," was will-
Ing to give the man aid, but S. A.
Waldron, good government worker and
captain, of eight precincts, objected to
the procedure, declaring that when
Buekowsky registered, he swore he
could read and write, 'and alleging that
the man's eyesight was good..
Although expert legal opinion wai
sought and given, the men who ar
rayed themselves against each other
because of the man's request for as-.
siatance, could not agree and so
Buekowsky finally said he would do
the best he could alone.
Because of the secrecy of the ballot
what may be quite an oddity In the
way of a ballot, providing he really
cannot read, write or gee clearly, Is
lost forever to tho public.
Other troubles in the same district
were caused by literature of the "reg
ulars" and the good government men.
They could not agree upon wnere it
should be displayed and so nelttier side
had much of It to show the voters.
The children of the neighborhood,
however, finally confiscate*! mucn of It,
and liberally covered the streets with
It. The youngsters also caused much
apprehension for their safety by their
frequent requests for rides In the au
tomobiles and other conveyances which
took voters to the polls and among
which the children played. Most of
tho youngsters were given their de
sire, the politicians taking time to let
them ride a block or two.
RELEASE FROM RAILROAD
RULE PLEASES STIMSON
Gives Credit for Victory to Work
ers in Precincts
MARSHALL STIMSON
The result of today's election is the
strongest proof that the men who
placed their confidence in the rank and
file of the Republican party were not
mistaken. The leaders of the Lincoln-
Roosevelt Republican league have al
ways felt that if the real Republicans
of California could be given an oppor
tunity to fairly express themselves
that they would nominate for their
party candidates men who are free
from the domination of the railroad
"machine."
This result has not been achieved
without hard work, for In the many
years during which the railroad has
controlled our state government It has
managed to place every possible ob
stacle in the way of a popular expres
sion of the will of the voters. Our
success today in Los Angeles county
was due to the untiring and loyal work
of the men In the precincts. They went
Into this fight with a snap and vigor
that drove the "machine" workers off
their feet. I
When the men who have been nom
inated take office they will put legisla
tion on our statute books that will
wipe out many of the clumsy features
of the present law. We will have the
short ballot and elect fewer offices and
exercise more care in their choice.
This fight was made for a principle
and by men who were urged on by
their enthusiasm for that principle.
The result will be of untold benefit to
our state.
L-R. WORKERS STRUGGLE
WITH 'PUSH' HIRELINGS
Good government workers had a
hard struggle with "push" employes
yesterday at 238 East Second street,
where voters In precinct No. 119 went
to vote.
They complained that only "regulars"
were on the election board, and that
they persisted in keeping the "stickers"
of their candidates on the same table
with the ballots.
Another complaint was that the
"stickers" also were placed in the
voting booths.
Good government men finally suc
ceeded In keeping the literature wher«
it belonged, they reportd.
REPUBLICAN VOTER ASKS,

asked this question:
"Mr. Wood, I registered as a Repub

Endorses the Neal Three-Day Drink Habit Cure
After Sending a Patient to the Superior Institute
Who Was Cured Perfectly in Three Days
Superior, Wisconsin,' August 1910.
To the People
* of the State of Wisconsin ■■ •' . ,
and Head of the Lakes.
Some two months ago my attention was called to the Neal Three-Day Drink Habit Cure by the
Company opening an institute in this city. ■
Recognizing the social evil of the drink habit and the curse of liquor, I became interested and was
instrumental in sending to the institute one of our Superior citizens, who, otherwise, except his drink
ing, was a splendid man. But liquor had him bound hand and foot, for he had been a habitual drinker
for more than twenty years, and late years to great excess.
, While the patient was under treatment at the institute I visited' him and I am so pleased with
the' results of the treatment that I have no hesitancy in giving the Neal Cure my endorsement, for
he was a changed man, completely, and said that all desire, craving and appetite for liquor had been
taken away from him, in three days.
The Neal Cure is a Godsend to any man who is bound by the chains of strong drink.

AUSTRALIA INDUSTRIAL
TRIBUNALS IMPARTIAL
Investigate All Sorts of Problems
Associated with the Dis
tribution of Wealth
SYDNEY, N. S. W., Aug. 20.—Steady
and very significant developments are
taking place under the operations of
industrial tribunals now established in
five out of the six states of the com
monwealth of Australia. Though these
do not Bfcure unbroken industrial
peace, they have composed many dif
ferences. Independently of practical
gains they are furnishing every other
day some valuable lessons In practical
economics. In the course of their in
vestigations all eorta of subsidiary
problems associated with the distribu
tion of wealth, of which most people
never suspected the existence, are
pressed upon these tribunals in one
form or another. Every detail of the
conditions under which the working
population lives, every change in their
necessities wrought by alterations in
political and social environment; every
process in the manufacturing indus
tries, with its effects upon those en
gaged in it; every aspect of the rela

many are being explained with pre

This Is done before an Impartial
authority, whose business it is to deal
with or allow for these varied and
varying factors in the life of working
people. Such matters must have come
from time to time in name shape be
fore employers and employed. But
their discussion in the presence of the
public and their examination- by minds
free from the prepossessions of self
interest have a far higher social value.
They make possible the correlation of
similar sets of facts in different em

of thfso tribunals let light into the
dark places of the social system, so
that it becomes dally more difficult for
the well-to-do half of the community
to remain unaware how the half that
is not well-to-do manages to live.
One important question, already the
subject of study in many lands has
been dealt with by an award of Mr.
Justice Higgins In the boot trade dis
pute, given in his capacity as presi
dent of the federal arbitration court.
Some of tho chief matters in dispute
arose out of the question of appren
ticeship, which presents difficulties
that crop up nowadays in every coun
try in nearly all industrial undertak
ings. The men always strive for a
rigid limitation of the number of ap
prentices, partly, no doubt, because
they do not want to see work that
might employ a well paid man done
by an underpaid boy, and partly be
cause they want to keep up.wages by
limiting the supply of fully qualified
men. The employer, on the other hand,
naturally enough, wishes the system
extended rather than curtailed. His
aim is to get h!s> lnbor cheaper, while
he shares the public interest In see-
Ing that an ample supply of compe
tent workmen is always at hand.
Mr. Justice Higgins, after an ex
haustive inquiry into the working of
the system in the boot trade, arrived
at the conclusion that the appren
ticeship system is unsuitable for fac-

NORWAY BARRED BY ICE
CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 20.—News has
been received from Spitzbergcn that
there have been unusual ice difficulties
this year on the westorn coast. The
steamer Maine, having the Prince Hein
rich Zeppelin expedition on board, nar
rowly escaped being inclosed in ice.
It Is reported also that the eastern
coasts are barred by masse of ice.
Eastern winter ice used to appear at
the earliest at the end of August, but
this year it approached South Cape in
July, where it formed a belt twenty sea
miles long off the coast. Under these
circumstances some fears are felt lest
the expedition now coasting In Spits
bergen waters should be Inclosed or
hindered.
