Nearly Every County in the State Goes for J ohnson
INSURGENCY
SWEEPS OVER
ENTIRE STATE
Johnson in Many Interior Coun
ties Leads Curry by a
2 to 1 Vote
Los Angeles and Alameda Poll
Heavily for Anti=machine
Leader
candidate. The cou*iry districts vied
with the cities in the proportions of
their majorities for Webb. In only one
place in the state did the incomplete
returns indicate a lead for McGowan.
That was in Eureka. McGowan's for
mer home. In San Francisco, where
McGowan was supposed to have the
support of both the machine and the
union labor organization he went down
to a crushing defeat.
Treasurer W. R. Williams is renom
!cated "without opposition. Controller
JCye appears to have a slight lead over
Frank Mattison.
LARGE VOTE
With city votes ranging from 65 per
cent to 75 per cent of the republican
registration, and many of the interior
rounties reporting votes ranging from
I.© per cent to 60 per cent, a total re
publican vote of more than 200,000 was
indicated. San .Francisco, Alameda and
Los Angeles counties polled more than
3 00,000 republican votes, and on the
face of the incomplete returns the dem
ocrat interior counties had swollen
their respective republican totals to
points approximating more than the
normal republican general election
vote.
Curry carried San Francisco by an
estimated plurality of 4,500. In Ala
raeda county the fight, as indicate by;
the partial returns, was hopelessly
close with the slight advantage on
Johnson's side of the tally sheet. In
Sacramento county Curry appeared to
be ruirtiing avout even with the com
bined vote of Johnson and Anderson,
•who was a bad third. San Joaquin
county appeared to be in the Curry
column by a small margin, but- in
Fresno county Johnson's" apparent lead
in the city could not be overcome by
the Curry vote expected to be polled
in the Coalinga end of the county.
Marin county appeared to be Curry's
by a big ratio as did Solano county,
which had been claimed by Anderson as
his home cohnty and by Johnson as one
of his natsral strongholds.
Johnson's best showing, as was to be
expected, was made in Los Angeles. On
the face of the first partial returns
Johnson bade fair to run up a clear ma
jority.in the city of Los Angeles and a
probable majority In the county. Stan
ton was a bad second in his own coun
ty, while Curry, a poor third, ran better
than 2 to 1 over Anderson.
The partial returns indicated that
Johnson would have comfortable leads
in Santa Barbara, Merced. Modesto,
Stanislaus. Santa Clara. Glenn, Butte
nnd Placer counties.
Sacramento County
[Special DUpalch lo The Call]
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 16.— Charles F.
Curry will carry Sacramento county by
700 over Hiram Johnson if the ratio of
partial returns continues. Anderson is
a bad thirJ. Curry at 10:30 o'clock
had Sl6, Johnson 608 and Anderson 384.
On the same ratio Kent will have a
majority of 700 to 800 over Duncan
McKinlay for congress. Interest lo
yally centered in the fight for sheriff.
Partial returns indicated that Conran
" would win over Reese by 400 to 500.
The count was very slow on other
offices, but indications were that Ham
ilton would win out for county clerk,
Root for recorder and. Kay for as
sessor. For the assembly the count had
not proceeded far enough to hazarJ
even a guess. Bliss was running neck
and neck with Grove L. Johnson In the
seventeenth and Marsh and Howe were
\u25a0within a few votes of each- other in th*
eighteenth. Not a vote had been count
ed for assembly in the nineteenth.
The vote in this city was 6,926 out
of a total registration of 10,218 and
the length of the ballot made the count
slow. In most precincts they were
counting governor, congressman and
sheriff first. No returns have been r'e
ceiwd on any state office except gov
ernor.
Returns have indicated that Engle
bright wins the nomination for con
jcress In the first district over J. L.
Chllde.

San Joaquin County
STOCKTON, Aug. 16. — Returns are
coming in from San Joaquin 'county
precincts very slowly. At 10:30 p. m.
complete returns have been received
from only six precincts, nearly all from
this city. Indications give Johnson a
good lead, with Curry second and An
derson third. • ' -^'
Tne total vot« for governor of the six
city precincts first in "was: Johnson
135, Curry 129, Anderson 42. The total
republican vote for San Joaquin county
ts estimated at 5,000 and It is .figured
that Johnson will poll 3,000. " Indica
tions from the county precincts are
strong Johnson.
Walter Sibley will undoubtedly re
ceive the republican nomination for
sheriff. John W. Moore will probably
defeat C. L. Ortman for county assessor.
E. P. Holtz will most probably win the
republican nomination for district at
torney over Max Grim and Charles
Light. J. A. Plummer's friends feel
confident, judging from present returns,
that he will secure the republican nom
ination for superior judge over E. I.
Jones. John Anderson and E. B. Wright
are running neck and neck for repub
lican nomination for county superin
tendent of schools.
The democratic vote was exceedingly
light. There were_ practically no con

BELL THANKS HIS
FRIEND FOR VOTE
Democratic Nominee Renews His
Pledge of Opposition to the
Southern Pacific :
THEODORE BELL
I, have defined my position many
times in unequivolal language on . all
public. questions in this state. I have
never receded from that position, and I
shall continue . to maintain it. The
Southern Pacific political bureau will
not be permitted to dominate our politi
cal affairs, and if I am elected governor,
the Southern Pacific will receive only
the same equal consideration that is
accorded to all public interests, nothing
more, nothing less. I shall administer
the affairs of the state with the single
object of Insuring to all the people a
perfectly fair deal.
The corporation will be held to th«
same strict accountability as the indi
vidual. I am not opposed to corpora
tions as such, for I recognize in thegi
a convenient modern method for under
taking large enterprises, and a means
of bringing together scattered wealth
in the development of the state. Here
in California, we are destined to rear
the greatest of all commonwealths. Our
climate, our inexhaustible resources and
all of our physical conditions Insure
handsome rewards to both labor and
capital. It will be my constant en
deavor to encourage the spirit of good
will and co-operation which at all times
should govern the Joint relations and
common efforts of labor and capital,
giving to each an absolutely square
deal.
I shall do my utmost to take all our .
public institutions out of party politics,
and in the appointment of' boards of
managers and commissioners I shall be
guided solely by the qualifications oC
honest, efficiency and humanity.
I am in favor of internal Improve
ments and shall encourage the better
ment of highways, rivers and harbors
to the end that the exchange of"our
commodities and the marketing of our
products may be facilitated.
I am especially Interested In the sub
ject of education and shall devote my
energies to the further upbuilding ot
our school system In all Its branches.
During the campaign I shall do all t
can to help the Panama-Pacific expo
sition, and, whether elected or not. I
shall be found at Washington next De
cember, when congress opens, doing 1 my
level best among my old colleagues in
the bouse and other friends to help San
Francisco get the fair.
I wish to express my gratitude to the
democrats of California for again se
lecting me for their standard bearer.
I shall make an active, honorable cam
palgn and I firmly believe that I shall
be the next governor ot California.
ADDING MACHINES AID
TO COMPILE RETURNS
The great problem of computing the
election returns with accuracy and dl3
patch by the city and county officials
and the press was solved last night by
the Burroughs adding machine. , the
electric model of : which la capable of
adding more than 13S items a minute.
W. W. Cooley. sales manager of the
local office of the Burroughs company,
forwarded a 15 bank duplex split elev
tric machine to the registrar's office.
This Instrument permitted the clerks
to compute three assembly district re
turns at the same time and carried a
straight bottom total of 15 figures.
The Call employed a nine bank elec
tric Burroughs in recapitulating the
precinct results and flashing, them on
the bulletin screens, which were bein^
watched by a cheering crowd. The
compilation of returns, both by the
press and officials, was greatly expe
dited by the use of this 'complex mod
ern machine.
COMMISSIONER CATOR
PASSES A BUSY DAY
Into the registrar's office came the
report yesterday afternoon that war
\ rant shavers had bought up all the
warrants on the treasury held by the
election officials In the twentieth pre
cinct of the thirty-first district, that
the officials had taken their cash and
repaired to a near by saloon and that
they had effected an entrance, obtained
a bar tender and were rapidly reaching
such a condition that republican, demo
cratic and independence league ballots
looked all alike to them. Chief of
Police Martin sent two detectives to the
scene and President of the Election
Commission Cator. with Commissioner
Hare, sped to the booth. Twelfth and.
Folsom streets, in an auto.
They found quiet reigning, every one
apparently dead sober and the saloon,
dark and tenantless. Cator discovered,
a pane of glass broken from the saloon
window, but the election officials estab~
lished a complete alibi and the commis
sioner returned with the oft repeated
sentence: .>• , \
"Another false alarm." • .
