UNITED PRESS LKASED TCIEE. San Francisco, Aug. 17. Hiram Johnson, progressive Republican, Lincoln-Roosevelt leader and avowed Insurgent, set the semaphore signals that sent the so-called "railroad ma chine" Into the ditch In yesterday's primary. Today's added returns show that Johnson and his Insurgent colleagues have swept practically everything before them In the first direct primary in California. It is estlranted that Johnson received 70,000 votes throughout the state, to Charlec . P. Curry's 43,000. Alden Anderson, open champion of the "ma chine," polled something like 25,000 votes. The weak showing of the Southern Pacific candidate was ono of tho surprises of the voting. The landslide of Johnson votes is believed to have demoralized "the organization." The machine men were confident that Anderson would carry every city and would receive "the support of machine factions !

The size of Johnson's vote surprised them. The organization's forces in reality were divided by the presence of Curry In the field, according to the leaders. Curry as secretary of state always was a machine man, and although running on his own initiative, he polled a higher vote thar Anderson.J who bore tho standard of the Espee. The voters, freed from restraint of slated conventions, repudiated the sVstem under which California has previously existed and derricked the machine to the scrap heap politically. Johnson presented a .solid front,1 and even tho (.inrililnrv nf PhlUn A J Stanton, though designed, as some be lieve, to split the vote in Southern California, was of little account 'n the totals. Stanton's vote could have gonei to either Curry or Anderson without affecting Johnson's triumph. The other gubernatorial candidate, Nathaniel Ellery, did not figure.

Bell, who was nominated without opposition yesterday by the Democrats. Tho rock ribbed stand patters nnd organization men in the Republican ranks now face the neces sity of voting in November for a Republican pledged to reverse condi tions attributed to the machine. Should they bolt Johnson and the In surgent'Rcpubllcan ticket, they must go to Bell, who Is almost as avowedly opposed to the so-called railroad domination of tho state politics as is Johnson. California probably will return three Republican insurgents to Congress nnd possibly ono Insurgent Democrat. William Kent, Insurgent Republican, is given a close victory over Duncan McKInley, stand-patter, In the second congressional district. E. A. Hayes, Insurgent, Is re-nominated over his "regular" opponent, May or Davison of San Jose, and Stephens, Insurgent, won over McLachlan stand-patter incumbent, at Los An geles. In San Francisco Julius Kahn, In cumbent stand-patter, was re-nom-lnated without opposition. At the same time tho Democrats nominated Walter MacArthur, an insurgent, who will oppose Kahn In November with fair prospects of defeating Kahn In a d lstrlct entirely In San Francisco The advisory vote for United States Senator shows that A. G. Spalding is leading John D. Works, insurgent, while Works has a slight shade over Edwin A. Meserve, regular. The returns are not yet complete. Tho race was so close that It Is not likely that the result will be definite' ly known until the last vote Is counted. (Continued on Page 5.)

Still shooting at Houpt, tho bandits dodged through tho scurrying crowd, pursued by the sheriff and his brother Sid, who was riding a horso through tho stroot. flio bullets from the revolver of ono of the fleeing men struck Sid Houpt's horso, foiling the animal and tossing tho pursuor Into the air. As ho struck tho pavement George Chit wood paused a moment In his flight nnd fired pojnt blank at the prostrate man.

Several years ago tho Journal took up this question of Us own Initiation and has advocated It consistently and persistently ever slnco, nnd It feels that tho awakening of public Interest In the matter is largoly duo to its efforts in this direction. The Journal was also first to advocato street paving. This, like the water proposition, was slow to materialize, but now with our main stroot modern, tip-to-date, beautiful, and the res idence district elamorlng for hard surfaced streets, those who were most strenuous In their opposition, are now enthusiastic. The Journal predicts that similar results will follow the 'oity'g ownership of It water system and that In a year or two, even it most urgent opponents will ronoedo that it was a wise step.
