OfJE FEATURE OF
PRIMARY FAILURE
Politics Play Strong Part in Se
lection of Supreme Court
Judges.
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.

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

LA GRANDE. Or., Sept. 12. (Special.)
On the eve of the apple harvest In this
valley, indications are that the largest

3X ears, according to fruit men, and aside
from this will be 50 cars for the home
consumption.
Local shippers are preparing to dispose
of the fruit as rapidly as it ripens and Is
picked. Markets are unstedy at present,
but It has been stated by buyers that with
the beginning of the new year the mar
kets will open strong. While apples are
being picked at this time, it is principally
the Summer varieties.

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. Recep
tion at the Elks auditorium from 8 to 4:80.
The speech of welcome will be made by
Professor Churchill, superintendent of
public schools, and an address of a gen
eral character will be delivered by Henry
McKinney. representative-elect from
Baker County. ..
Dinner will be served at 5 o'clock at
which about 20 invited guests will partici
pate. A band concert has been arranged
for 7 P. M. and a procession at 7:30. At
8:15. the three athletes, together with Mr.
Petraln. of The Oregonlan, will leave for
Portland.

Arrangements are practically completed
for the parade and reception tomorrow
night In honor of the returning Oregon
athletes. The postponement of the dem

added to those provided for the entertain

A promise is not a cure.
The man who thinks it is. soon
discovers his mistake after he pays
for it.
When some would-be doctor, who
got his medical education out of an
encyclopedia, says that he will cure
vou with drugs, you believe him
without hesitation. You were taught
to believe in drugs.
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. You
wouldn't have it done, yet doctors
made your ancestors believe In it,
just as they have caused you to be
lieve in drugs.
Science has made some wonderful
discoveries since those days. I don t
mean medical science. If you call
that a science. That body of fanat
ics is still groping In the dark
going from colossal blunder to blun
der and championing new absurdi
ties every year.
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. It gives strength to
every organ, enabling each part to
do its work as nature Intended.
When everv human organ is work
ing right there can be no pain or
sickness.
Mv Electro-Vigor pumps a steady
current of electric life into your
rlerves and vitals while you sleep.
