San Francisco, Aug. 17. Hiram
Johnson, progressive republican and
avowed Insurgent, and his Insurgent
colleagues swept practically everything
before them in the first direct primary
of California yesterday. The added
returns show Johngon is far In the
lead for governor against his oppon
ents. It is estimated he received
seventy thousand votes against Curry's
forty-three thousand, and Anderson's
twenty-five thousand. California will
probably return three Insurgent re
publicans and one Insurgent democrat
to congress.
Alden Anderson was the avowed
machine candidate controlled by the
Southern Pacific railroad. His weak
vote was the big surprise. The John
ton land slide is believed to have de
moralised the organization. Voters,
freed from the restraint of slated con.
ventions, repudiated the system under
which California has previously ex
Isted and derricked the machine to
the scrap head, politically.
The democrats yesterday nominated
Theodore Bell a their gubernatorial
candidate, which puts the rockribbed
republicans Into the position where
they must vote for a republican pledg
ed to reverse the railroad domination
or vote for Bell who is likewise an
anti-machine man.

Republic Succumbs to Heart Fail
ure Caused by Excitement of Wit
nessing Attempted Assassination.
Bremen, Aug. 17. President
Montt, of Chill, died yesterday of
heart failure caused by the excite
ment of witnessing the shooting of
Mayor Gaynor shortly , before the
president sailed for Europe from New
York. He was elected for a five
year term in 1906 and was very pop
ular. His wife was with him at his

shipped to South America.
Chill Mourns.
Santiago De Chill, Aug. 17. Chill
Is gloomy over the death of her pres
ident at Bremen. Vice President

NOW CERTAIN THAT
.MAYOR GAYNOR WILL LIVE

most certain that Mayor Gaynor will
recover. To!ay he ate his first solid
food since he was shot aboard the

had no fever. The surgeons are prac
tically decided on an operation
should the patient continue to Im
prove. An 'nclslon ill be made
through the roof of the mouth and
the split bullet removed. If this heals
all danger of poisoning will be re
moved. New Jersey justice, noted for
the rapidity with which criminals are
punished, will be called into action.
As soon as It Is certain the mayor
will live his assailant will be arraign
ed and tried on the charge of intent
to murder.

Governor and Cady for Senator
Democrats Endorse Hitchcock
Shallcnbcrger Still Has Hopes.
Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 17. Mayor
Dalhman of Omaha, defeated Gover
nor Shallenbcrger for the democratic
gubernatorial nomination yesterday at
the primaries, according to partial re- (-
turns today. The republicans nomi
nated Aldrlch for governor over Cady
and Senator Burkett was endorsed
over Wheldon by republicans and
Hitchcock over Metcalf by democrats.
Shallenberger still hopes that the ru
ral districts will overcome Dalh
man's cities' majorities.
Dalhman was distinctly an anti
Bryan candidate and it is believed
many democrats voted for him as a
protest against Bryan's Injection of
the county option question Into demo
cratic state politics. Burkett received
only a small plurality in the rural dis
tricts. William Hayward, secretary
of the republican national committee,
was nominated for congress in the
fifth district by an overwhelming ma
jority. ... Hooper Wins . In Tennessee.
Nashville. Tenn., Aug. 17. Cap
tain Benjamin W. Hooper of New
port, Cooke county, was yesterday af
ternoon nominated for governor of

vention. Thft nnmu nf Alfrprt A. Tavlor. a
ffrother of United States Senator Ro
bert L. Taylor, was the only other one
presented to the convention, and im-
medlatelv following the announce
ment of tn result of-the first ballot
the nomination was made unanimous.
The independent state wide prohi
bition democrats who have fought
Governor M. R. Patterson, are ex
pected to support the ticket nominat
ed as against the regular democratic
slate.
The platform adopted declares for
no backward step in the prohibition
laws, which were passed over the veto
of Governor Patterson and asserts
that the state should be restricted as
regards congressional, Judicial and
legislative districts.
The platform Indorses the adminis
tration of President Taft.

Grouse Hunters Several Have Been

Infested.
That bear, both black and brown,

C. C. Leet of Gibbon, who killed two
brown bear on Line creek Sunday, is
in the city today and he says there
are apparently many more in that vl
cmity. A day of two before he killed
the two, he shot a bear twice with a
shotgun but was unable .o bag his
bearshlp.
One of the bear killed Sunday was
a cub while the other was its mother,
though a young bear herself. The one
he shot at before was a black bear.
G. I. La Dow and Ed Baker, while
hunting grouse, east of Gibbon, Sun
day, found plenty of evidence that
there are a number of bear In that
vicinity. They say that the tracks of
one of the animals was unusually
large.
A black bear was also killed near
Kamela last week, while a Meacham
sheep herder reports having seen a
black bear recently that looked as
large as a cow.
In the Cable creek country, the
animals are also said to be numerous.
Aside from the one treed by Roy
Connell on horseback and killed by
Miss Grace Bean with a 22 rifle a
number of others have been seen. The
Cole and Mitchell families are will
ing to testify that there Is at least one
hungry bear In that section that se
cured a good square meal for him
self and succeeded in scaring two
women and a black dog.

George Hartman. former first Hen

at that time.
Roosevelt's love of, things western-
and especially of western ranch lWe, '
together with his previously announc
ed intention of coming to the coast
this fall,; makes it altogether possible
that he will be in Pendleton for the

the big Pendleton show he cannot
help but be interested in the great
est event ' ef its kind the northwest

communication from the Union Me
tallc Cartridge company in which
they state that Captain W. A. Hillla

exhibition of fancy and trick shooting
during the "Round-Up." It is .ex
pected that the other firearms an
ammunition companies will also take
advantage of the opportunity offered
to be represented by theit expert
marksmen and that as pretty an ex
hibition as the country has ever seen
will be winessed here.
In addition to the professional c
perts there will probably also be held
In connection an amateur trap shoot
ing contest. A movement is now os
foot looking toward the formation of
a gun club which will have charge ol
the event. Pendleton has a number
of shooters who are capable of hold

Its formation Is practically assured.
