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

throughout the state. 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.

battle discloses Johnson opposed by
Theodore A. 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.

The Chitwood brothers have been

This morning, without warning, thoy

THE JOURNAL IS JUSTLY PROUD,
Tho Journal feols that it has a right to bo proud of the fact
that Salom Is now In a fair way to own its own water plant and
to havo pure water. 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.
