INSURGENTS HOPE TO SWEEP STATE California Primaries in Ses.-ion. Machine Fights for its Life. WHIULWINM CAMPAIGN'S Colonel Refused to Endorse Any one So They ('all Election Without Him. SAN FRANCISCO. August 16.—'The \erdict of the people of California is being recorded to-day after one of the most bitter political contests in the his tory of this State. For the first time the people are choosing by direct pri maries the Republican and Democratic candidates for the November elections. There there are a multitude of local Issues in various parts of the State, the | chief Question Is. Will the insurgents | or regular Republicans nominate their ' candidates In the Republican party? Chief Interest centers in the govern | orshjp. Hirman Johnson, who prose j euted Abe Reuf after Francis J. Heney ' had been shot, is the Insurgent eandi 1 date for the Republican nomination. ! He has the backing of the I.tncoln Roosevelt Deague, which was originally j organised to oppose control of the Re publican party by the machine or i Southern Pacific faction of the party. Is Popular. Johnson has made a tremendous hit. j Four men, all regular Republicans, op I pose him for nominataion. They are I Charles F. Currv, Alden Anderson, Na j thanlel Ellery and Philip Stanton. The latter, as speaker of the House, threw his Influence against the anti-Japan ese bills two years ago when certain Californians attempted to exclude the Japanese from the State. For his stand on theae bills Stanton gained the approbation of Colonel Roosevelt. Several weeks ago an effort was made to draw Roosevelt Into the cam paign and get his endorsement of \ Stanton. The Colonel refused to en | dorse anyone. i All the gubernatorial candidates made campaigns of the ‘whirlwind i type" and one of them (Curry) kept four automobiles constantly speeding over the State carrying orators to ha rangue the voters In his behalf.

NEW PLAYS Ft TO PLEASE FOLKS •'The Commuters and Marriage of a Star" liofh Fall Rather Hat. NEW YORK. August 16.—New York theatre-goers express the hope to-day that the two new plays that were put on lest night are not a criterion of what Is to he offered on Broadway during the coming season. Kelther "The Commuters" at the Criterion nor the "Marriage of a Star" at the Hackett gave any Indi cation of long life or plethoric box receipts. Orrln Johnson and May DeSousa head the oast of The Commuters." written by James oFrbes, which was chiefly notable for the revival of a host of good old jokes on the com muters. some of which had not been recalled in a score of years. Miss DeSousa twinkled rather febly In her rise to stardom As for plot the author overlooked It entirely. Miss Clara l.lpman acted cleverly in "The Marriage of a Star" and wore dresses that caught the feminine eye. but the piece fell rather hard through an Injudicious mixing of serious gramatlc effort In a play that Is pri marily and sole!-.- a farce.

Follow Destruction of Build ings in Brussels. THOUSANDS OUT OF WORK , Government May Establish Fae , tories to Care for Vast Army | of Unemployed. BRUSSELS, August 1-Business | men of Brussels are to-<3«y demanding that an extra session of the Belgian t Parliament be called to make provls- , Ion against a panic- following the fl nan - j 1 cfal reverses occasioned by Sunday's j disastrous fire that almost wiped out j the Brussels International Exposition. The exposition was reopened to-day under the most discouraging circum stances. Only a handful of visitors were present, and it is now certain ■ that the enormous crowds that were j expected during the latter part of Au- ] gust and September will not material ise. This not only means that the j exposition will be conducted at a tre mendous loss, but that the merchant* j and towns-people will get practically i no return on the heavy Investments 1 they have made. Already thousands of exposition employees have been let . out and local labor conditions are In | danger of being upset by this army of unemployed. Parliament will probably be asked I ‘ to vote a bonus to the promoters of the exposition and to Inaugurate gov- j eminent works to provide for those out j | of employment. SPEED!
