2 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. SACRAMENTO.

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.

V 733^T0 737 M ARKET, STREET \ <, Between Third and Fourth' BRANCH STORE— I44O FILLMORE STREET 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." • .
