Washington, Oct. 1 In a no tab! speech before th dosing session of th Tuberculosis .congress President Roosevelt lauded the reclamation of the ranama Canal Zone from yellow fever and kindred diseases aa a treat triumph for the medical profession and sanitation. The president, aurrounded by 'aeoret aervlce guards, appeared at Uit oongress unexpectedly at naif peat twelve. secretary coneiyou waa in tne tnldat of a speech, when wild . applause at the rear of the hall and the opening Oars or "Hail Columbia," wnion waa soon chanced to "The Star Spangled lianner," , told th delegates and the audience of the arrival of the chief magistrate of the nation, Sir, Roose velt aald: "I could not " deprive myself of the privilege of saying a word of greeting to thla noteworthy gathering. .

The tendency was to ac quiesce in what was ' considered to be the mandate of a superior power. ' 'It ia but a short time since even ' the most gifted men of the medical ' profession knew as little as any Jay man, of the real cause of diseases like . this ana the remedy to be invoiced to overcome it - ' "It is apparently only within a few decades, I am almost tempted to say within a few years, that we go back to cover the period of real progress. Take, for instance, the work the United , Estates government is now doing In Panama.

"Thla moment. In the heart of Africa, there la a peculiar disease known aa the sleeping sickness which, if It had been known In ancient times, would bave been known by some such name aa the black death,' or possibly as some thing caused by the fall of a comet If not some similar explanation would bave been advanced.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal. Olympla, Wash., pot. 8. Official fig ures on the result of the recent state primary election In Washington throw a curious sidelight on the peculiarities ' of the new primary law adopted by this 'state. . B. G. Cosgrove, the Pomeroy farmer, was nominated for governor on the Re publican ticket, although Henry Mc- liriage was the first choice of the peo ple by nearly 8,000 votes and Albert E. Mead led the eastern Washington man led in both first and second choice votes and has a majority of 4,463 altogether, non en t. i;ee a. jonnson, received a total of 10,790 votes against It was the second choice vote that won for most of the candidates where the contest was close. Cosgrove got enough or these to make his plurality over . .Mead, his nearest competitor, 8,266. I ne total vote cast ror tne three lead ing aspirants for the gubernatorial seat -waa as follows: Cosgrove 67,761. Mead , 49J02, Mclirida 47,694. The law provides that when no can didate secures 40 per cent of the first choice vote the nomination shall go to the candidate having the most first and second votes. Cosgrove secured al most double the number of second choice votes given to any other com petitor, and so his total gave him a comfortable plurality and the nomina tion. The contest for the nomination for ;, lieutenant-governor was won In the same way At first Charles E. Coon was conceded the nomination, as he had a majority of first choice votes, but with belated returns M. E. Hay, his close rival, forged ahead and won out by a total malority of 6,902. W. P. Bell candidate for attorney reneral, was led for first choice by w. V. Tanner and J. H. Easterday, each of whom had 7,000 more first choice votes than Bell. The latter, however, was th overwhelming pick of the second choice voters, securing the nomination . by a total majority of 10,867 votes. In these three contests only did the second choice vote count greatly, as the other places, though fought for closely, all went to the men who got the l greatest number of first choice votes. The race for the nomination for con- Poindexter'a 15,243. There waa only one candidate for congressman from the First district and only one for the same nomination in the Second district W. E. Humphrey received a courtesy vote of 27,000 In the First and F. W. Cush man 19,812 votes In the Second district The keenest race of all was that for the nomination for state treasurer. J. O, Lewis waa given a vote of 87,064 and E. K. Krwln 38.721. Lewis won bv a plurality of only 843 votes, th narrow est margin by which any candidate of tne KepuDllcan party waa nominated. Sam H Nichols was nominated over I. M. Howell for secretary of state by a plurality and majority or i,t5. xne total vote accorded him was 69,671. For stat auditor C. W. Claussen was chosen with a vote of 49,749, a plurality of 18 836. , ; The Democratic vote waa remarkably light owing to the fact that there were no contests for any nomination except for governor, lieutenant-governor, ana tha reference for United States sena tor. John Pattlson of Colfax won the nomination for governor over A. j. Splawn by only 218 votes. Pattlson se cured the most first choice votes and Blackman. hardly in the running for first choice, got nearly enough second choice votes to giv mm me nomina tion. He was a close third to the two leaders with a total vote Of 5,844. George F. Cotterill was the prefer ence for United States senator by a vote of 7,881 to M. M. Godman's 6,491. ("pedal DUeates to The J oar ml.) Chicago, Oct 8. Yesterday at Ster ling, 111., Congressman Longworth, son- In-law of Prealdent Roosevelt declared that after eight yea re of Taft It waa to be Roosevelt In tha White Houae again. The Chicago Journal has taken thla up under the editorial oaptlon, "The Roosevelt Dynasty," pointing out that Mr. Roosevelt has four aona to whom he doubtless Intends to have his crown descend, and It may thea go to the Longworth branch of , the house of Roosevelt."

Lathrop. . Chicago. Oct 8. The utterance of Congressman Longworth, son-in-law of President, Roosevelt that Taft should be kept eight years in the White House and then Roosevelt should' be elected In 1916, to remain president two terms, supplied the sensation for today. His speech last night at Sterling, 111., has caused Longworth to be dubbed gen erally by politicians "the Burchard of the Taft campaign.'1 Opinions naturally have varied as to the significance of the statement Some say Nick has let out .a state secret which will enrage many Republican pol iticians and cause the alienation of a large support, and that he has merely let the cat out of the bag. John E. Lamb, in charge of Demo cratic headquarters, aald: "There is evidence that Longworth has let slip an intimation ol plans actu ally laid. It explains the president's anxiety to get Taft nominated, and the present fight he is making, by us ing the machinery of the federal gov- ; eminent, , to force his election. The president is talked of for United States senator from New York. If chosen his term would erid almost exactly In eight years. Buch an outcome wouia give , Roosevelt and Taft between them prao- ; tically 24 years, or a Quarter of a cen tury, In control of the government. "It is aDDarent that Longworth has become the Burchard of this campaign 1 for the Republicans." " Chroniclers have recalled tnai one before "Nick" revealed state "tcrets for which he was roundly scolded by the president. When at Manila he av out an Interview saying the president might accept renommatlon. Later it developed that the president had used that threat to force Taffs nomination, ronllv mennlnsr It. servlns notice on certain opponents of Taft to that ef-j rect. The most noticeable feature of the discussion Is that Taft's partisans re-1 sent Longworth's utterance, aa tiemg them up too closely with Kooseveit it LIQUOR ONLY , (Continued from Page One.)
