THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. SEPTEMBER 13, 1914. T PROGRESSIVES RETIRED BY VOTERS Washington Representatives Lay Their Defeat to Ab sence From State. SENATORIAL RACE IS CLOSE Vote for Supreme Bench Members Big Surprise, as All "Were Ex pec ted to Stand or Fall To gether Other Signs Upset. OLYMPIA. Wash., Sept. 12. (Spe clal.) The retirement to private life of Washington's two Progressive party Representatives, J. A. Falconer, of Everett and J. W. Bryan, of Seattle, is the feature of returns from last Tues day's primaries that is attracting chief Interest throughout the state. Falconer and Bryan both graduated from the State Senate into Congress in the Fan of 3912, being rushed into office by the Koosevelt wave that swept the State of Washlnerton. In the State Legisla ure the two men generally had dif fered on political issues and rarely voted the same way. In Congress their harmony was little more noticeable. Roth announced their candidacies sev eral months ago, for the Senatorial nomination of their party. Bryan re considered later and became a candi date for the lower house in the First or Seattle district, but was repudiated by his own party. Chief of Police Orrir fiths, of Seattle, winning the Progres sive nomination. Close political friends of Falconer Foue-ht to dissuade him also from seek ing the Senatorial toga, as it was their Judgment that he could have Deen re nominated and probably re-elected from the Second or Northwestern dis trict, the Bull Moose stronghold of the state. The urgings of other advisers, however, induced the Everett man to continue the Senatorial race, In which Ole Hanson won the Progressive nom ination as the result of a particularly thorough campaign of the state. Defeat Blamed to Absence. Falconer has had a long political career, having been Speaker of the lower house of the Washington Legis lature before being elected to the Sen ate. He declined to stand for the Pres idency of the Senate in 1911. Supporters of both Falconer and Bryan attribute their defeat to their enforced absence from the state, caused by the continuation of the session of Congress. Neither man left the Na tional capital to prosecute his cam paign. It is regarded as significant, how ever, that, while the three Republi can Representatives, William E. Humphrey, in the First district; Al bert Johnson, in the Third, and Wil liam L. La Follette, in the Fourth, also remained at Washington, each was re nominated by a sweeping majority. Humphrey received practically twice the number of first-choice votes given his three opponents combined. The surprise of the primaries to most political prognosticators was the bu preme Court race. With Chief Justice Crow and Judges Chadwick and Gose all running for re-election and con certed campaigns in their behalf being made by attorneys, it was believed gen erally that the three candidates would be re-elected or would fail together. Instead, Judge Chadwick ran far ahead of the others and apparently has won the election at the primaries by receiv ing more than 50 per cent of the total vote cast. Chief Justice Crow will be one of four candidates whose names will appear on, the November ballot for the two remaining places. Judge Gose has lost out altogether. The work of the court kept all three Judges close at their tasks here, while most of their opponents have been free to campaign the state. Judge Gose hae been ac counted one of the ablest of the nine members of the court. Humphries Vote Is Surprise. The surprisingly large vote received throughout the state by Judge Humph ries, of Seattle, also was a feature of the campaign. While Judge Humphries' name will not appear on the November ballot, should it prove true, as is now supposed, that Judge Chadwick has re ceived a majority of all votes cast, re turns show that the Seattle jurist, who attained Nation-wide prominence as the result of his troubles with Social ists and I. W. W.'s, has beaten Judge Gose in the state vote. The three men who will contest with Chief Justice Crow for the two remain ing eeats on the Supreme bench are Superior Judge Holcomb, of Adams County; Superior Judge Pemberton. of Whatcom County, and Edgar G. Mills, of Seattle, an attorney, recently from Wisconsin. These were the three men indorsed by the "joint legislative com mittee." representing the State Federa tion of Labor, State Grange and Farm ers' Union. The Judgeship fight is only one of the lines of political endeavor undertaken by this triple alliance. The "joint legislative committee" also stood sponsor for the "seven sisters' " initiative measures, five of which now are before the Supreme Court for final decision. The committee also is . en gaged in pledging candidates for the Legislature to vote for a proposed con stitutional amendment which will al low future constitutional amendments to be proposed directly by the initiative without first passing through the Leg islature. Turner Looks Like Winner. Incomplete returns from all counties in the state give George Turner a ma jority of 264 votes over William W. Black for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator. The vote as received so far gives Turner 11,704 and Black 11,440. Friends of Judge Black say that the official count will change the situa tion. It is pointed out that in four of . tile largest counties of the state King, Pierce, Chehalis and Lewis it has been Impossible to get satisfactory figures. The official canvass at Olympia cannot be made until the various counties have sent certified tables of their votes to the Secretary of State. I'ost-Mortems Held. Political post-mortems have been held by most of the defeated candi dates. On the part of supporters of George F. Cotterlll, ex-Mayor of Se attle, there is a general disposition to attribute his defeat to the presence in the race of Hugh C. Todd, Democratic state chairman, also of Seattle. Todd's first-choice votes were almost entirely taken away from Cotterlll, the latter's supporters assert, addition showing that the Todd vote easily would have nominated Cotterlll. Another reason given for the poor showing made by Cotterill, however. Is his absence from the state and country, attending an international temperance convention in Norway, in the middle of the campaign. Cotterill's supporters were inclined to resent the fact that he had left them to carry on the burden of the fight and to the European trip undoubtedly can be laid the loss of hundreds of votes. The comparatively light vote cast by all parties was a disappointment to party managers, especially in view of the fact that the registration was heavier than ever before. The heavy registration Is attributed, however, to the activities of prohibition advocates, several months ago, in procuring sig natures for the state prohibition ini tiative measure, the initiative law in this state providing that only the sig natures of registered voters are to be counted. Two Races Close. With the Democratic Senatorial fight still unsettled between George Turner, of Spokane, and W. W. Black, of Everett, and two other races so close that the official count may be necessary for final determination, the primary nominees appear as follows: United States Senator Republican, Wesley L. Jones, North Yakima (re nominated); Democratic, George Turn er, Spokane, or W. W. Black. Everett; Progressive, Ole Hanson, Seattle; So cialist, Adam H. Barth, Tacoma. Representative, First District (City of Seattle - J Kitsap County) Re publican, William E. Humphrey, Se attle (renominated); Democratic, Will lam Hickman Moore, Seattle; Progres sive, Austin E. Griffiths, Seattle; So cialist, Glenn E. Hoover, Seattle. Representative, Second District (Northwestern Washington ) Republi can, Llndley H. Hadley, Bellingham; Democratic, Earl W. Husted, Everett; Progressive, William J. Biggar, Bell Ingham; Socialist, George E. Boomer, Port Angeles. Representative, Third District (South western Washington) Republican, Al bert Johnson, Hoquiam (renominated); Democratic, Charles Drury, Tacoma; Progressive, Stanton Warburton, Taco ma; Socialist, Leslie E. Aller, Tacoma. Representative, Fourth District (Southeastern Washington) Republi can, William L. LaFollette, gunman (renominated); Democratic, Roscoe M. Drumheller, Walla Walla; Progressive, M. A. Peacock, North Yakima; Socialist, John Storland, Kennewick. Representative, Fifth District (North eastern Washington) i Republican, probably Harry Rosenhaupt, Spokane; Democratic, C. C. Dill, Spokane; Pro gressive, Thomas Corkery, Spokane; Socialist, J. C. Harkness, Hillyard. Supreme Court, non-partisan. Ste phen J. Chadwick, incumbent, prob ably re-elected at primary; nominees to contest for remaining two places on bench. Herman D. Crow (incumbent), Edgar G. Mills, Seattle; O. R. Holcomb, Rltzvllle; W. H. Pemberton, Bellingham. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 12. Lawyers disagree as to the Interpretation of the primary law In the matter of Su preme Judges' nomination. Supreme Justice Stephen Chadwick has a ma jority of all the votes cast, and some authorities say his name should be printed on the ballot, with no one opr posing him, making it necessary for the voter to write in a candidate's name if he wishes to vote against Chadwick. It is believed that to avoid controversy Chadwick's name will go on the ballot Just like those of the other nominees. In this case the name of John E. Hum phries, of Seattle, whose wholesale use of the Injunction last year was con demned by the Supreme Court, will be on the ballot. PRIMARY VOTE PROVES LIGHT Not More Than Half of Registration Decides to Value Ballot. ASOTTN. Wash., Sept. 12. (Special.)
