HOW HUMPHRIES WON OUT Makes Appeal to Prejudices at La boring Men and Saloon Element. Methods Unethical, Say Mem bers of Washington Bar. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Sept- 12 (Spe clal.) That the non-partisan Judiciary feature of the direct primary law Is a failure Is the concensus or opm.u.. .-....... ! r,t tha bar of the state. The result, particularly as to the Supreme Court, shows that partisan polltica was far from eliminated In the recent contest, and. what Is most ob jectionable to the bar. permitted the lection of one candidate through a de parture from the ethics of the profes sion and appeals to prejudice and to special Interests. John E. Humphries, although the vnte Is close, has apparently been chosen for Justice of the Supreme Court and his election Is due to the support of the solid saloon vote, the solid laboring vote and to his attacks upon the Judiciary. S. J. Chad wick. Democrat, has also been elected, and while this Is satis factory to the bar of the state, the fact that Democrats as & rule went Into the polls and voted solidly for Chadwlck. while scattering their other votes among the weaker candidates to Insure his election. Indicates that the term "non-partisan Judiciary" Is & mis nomer. Talk of Repealing w Law, There is already talk of a repeal of this provision of the direct primary law. and there Is even discussion of an attempt to defeat Humphries by the use of stickers in the general election. There are three positions to fill on the supreme bench and under the pro visions of the direct primary law only the three highest men can have their names printed on the official ballot In November. The only possibility of defeating a primary nominee Is by the sticker method. There Is no criticism of Mr. Hum phries" ability as a lawyer, the objec tion of the bar being confined to his campaign methods. Humphries not only made speeches in which he charged that tbe laboring man seeking damages from personal injuries did not get a square deal In the Supreme Court but also tent out posters and circulars by the thousands appealing to the prejudice of such voters. "One laboring man Is either sent to his grave or the hospital every minute." was a phrase used on all his literature. "Shall the people rule? Tea let the people rule." was another catch phrase used extensively. While claiming that Injured laboring men could not obtain Justice, in the courts. Mr. Humphries sent out thousands of circulars In which a list of 14 cases was cited In which he had obtained verdicts for In jured clients against corporations. Thla list aggregated 1146.000. Appeal to Secret Orders. He also made an Indirect appeal to the secret order vote. One large poster depicts him with single and combina tion badges on his breast showing him to be a member of the Masons, Elks. Eagles. Knights ot Pythias, Improved Order of Redmen and A. O. U. W. In every Important city but one. Tacoma. he received the indorsement of the Royal Arch, the saloonmen'a secret order. This was accomplished, partly, through the efforts of sup porters of Jimmy Durkin. the saloon man of Spokane, who was a candidate for the Democratic Gubernatorial nomination. As the result of his apptatl to the prejudices of the laboring element Hum phries received the indorsement and sup port of the labor organizations throughout the state. Other candidates for the supreme bench adhered closely to the ethics of the legal profession. Judges Root and Crow, the two members of the Supreme Court who were candidates for re-nomination, made no campaign whatever. Tfie other candi dates with exception of Caxr of Seattle, made more or les of a campaign but It consisted simply In getting out and meeting the voters. The bar of the suite, as a rule, supported Root, Crow and Chadwlck. although favorite sons where given the bar support In their own com munities. Humphries waa not considered a pos sibility during the campaign. For 10 or 13 years he had been a perennial candidate for office and each time his strength had been of little consequence. Friends Urge Preston to Ran. One plan of conducting a sticker cam- palgn against Humphries that has been suggested by lawyers is for the bar of the state to settle upon some strong can didate who personally will make a digni fied campaign and leave the real battle to the lawyers. At best, however, the ticker method In a state election is barren of results and there is some doubt expressed as to the wisdom of such a campaign In view of the failure of the bar of Seattle to elect all Its candidates for Superior Judges of King County at chosen by them In the bar primaries. Some lawyers of standing admit that to be anywher near successful It would be necessary to obtain the support and encouragement of organisations other than the Bar Association. Harold Preston, of Seattle, has been suggested here as a strong man for a sticker candidate if he could be induced to make the race. While not criticising the men who ap pear to have ben nominated to. the su preme bnch in the non-partisan Judi ciary election. Governor A. E. Mead to day expressed the opinion that there had been less of politics In the old convention system of nominating candidates for the supreme bench than under the new plan adopted In this state. Other than thla the Governor declined to criticise the worklrgs of that portion of the new law. NORTHWEST LEAGUE. Tacoma 6; Vancouver 3. TACOMA. Spt.

Swain then drove th ball out of the lot and the four run would have won the game even without the extra one the visitors added In the fourth on errors. Seattle played listless ball and only once was within hailing distance of the plate. No less than 15 Seattle players were left on bases, the necessary hit to bring a run home never being forthcpmlng. Thomas pitched a good game and Allen gave good ball after the first Inning. The score: R.H.E.

OFFICIAL COUNT NEEDED Figures on Vote of Hoqulam Disa gree on McBrlde and Cosgrove. ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. IX (Spe cial.) All election tables of thla county so far compiled disagree on the vote of Hoqulam, agreeing in the main other wise. But In Hoqulam the discrepancies are too grea tto be reconciled, and an official count will be necessary to deter mine actual majorities. The differences In the Hoqulam count also affect the re sult on Governor, nad whether McBrlde or Cosgrova carried the county on first choice votes cannot be known until the official count. Tables compiled show that In 39 of the 44 precincts. McBrlde received 1043 first choice votes and 420 second choice; Cos grove received 1031 first choice and 791 second. According to other tables, Mc Brlde received 1078 first choice votes and 440 second, while Cosgrove likewise re ceived 1078 first choice votes and KT7 sec ond. This makes the situation interest ing. The discrepancy between the two candidates is so small in first choice votes that Cosgrove has undoubtedly car ried the county on combined first and second choice. One count gives Mead 808 first choice votes and 670 second. Other comptrs make It 844 firs choice and 6 second. As on other contests, the difference is in the Hoqulam vote, no two tables so far having ben found that agree in the bal lots cast there. The difference is not so marked In the Senatorial vote and Jones has carried the county by approxlmaetly 900 votes. HAVE BUMPER APPLE CROP Grand Ronde Farmers Preparing to Harvest 330 Carloads.

BAKER CITT, Or., Sept. 12. (Special.) Dan Keliy arrived In this city this morning at 7:46 and went direct to the home of his parents. He was accompa nied by D. M. Kelly, his father, who met him at Welser, Idaho. Throughout the day he has been visiting his parents and renewing old acquaintances among the friends of his youth. Kelly talked freely of his trips. He outlined his experiences while in Indon and through Ireland and Sweden. He was not enthusiastic over the fairness of the London sportsmen, but could find some excuse for what seemed unfair de cisions because of the unf amlllarity of the Judges with sporting events. There were many identified with the Olympic games who had no other claim to recog nition In an official position other than that they could sport a title or were con nected by. blood with the royal household. The English sports, he said, were good winners, but bad losers. He was pleased with the sportmanshlp of the King and delighted with the grace of Queen Alex andra. After the close of the Olympic a party of 12 Americans were escorted to Ireland, where there had been arranged a meet at Dublin, in which the chosen athletes of the Emerald Isle were to take part. The Americans won seven firsts against four for the, Irishmen. Then the party went to Sweden, where three meets had been arranged, at Stock holm, Malmo, Norkoplng. In all these events the American boys were winners. Tomorrow morning at 7:45, Smlthson, Gilbert and W. J. Petraln, of The Orego nlan, will arrive when the following pro gramme for the day will be carried out. A committee will meet them in the morn ing at the 7:45 train and escort them to the Gelser Grand. There will be infor mal visiting till 1 o'clock. A tally-ho ride Is then proposed from 1 to 3.

Fifty years ago they thought bleeding was the only cure for dis ease of any kind. Think of drain ing n mans life blood now.

But the world's greatest scientists have proven that the force which runs the human machine, the power that builds vitality and strength, is electricity. They have shown that most all sickness and chronic disorders are due to a lack of electric energy. They have taught us the worthless ness of drugs, that they are only poisons, and poisons don't cure. The reason drugs don't cure is be cause they don't help nature. Na ture wants nourishment, not poison. This nourishment is electricity. It puts vim and energy Into every part of your body.
