SAN LUIS OBISPO, Aug. 11.-Sena-
tor Henry W. Lynchs delegates to the
senatorial convention were completely
ousted by the Warren M John dele
gates in the warmest primaries ever
held in this county today. The wave
of dissent against the Southern Pacific
and machine domination which has
been sweeping the republican party
triumphed, and Johns delegates We're
elected by more than two to one. Cam
bria was the only place in the county
so far heard from that gave Lynch
any support at all. In other precincts
the vote is overwhelmingly in favor of
John, some precincts voting solidly for
Johns men.
Attorney Paul M. Gregg. who was
Lynch's political manager in this coun-
ty was defeated for delegate to the

more than two to one, his opponent be-

Signal Victories Won BY League Throughout State

were resorted to by the desperate ad-
herentS of Herrin and Parker In
many precincts voters who desired to
vote against railroad domination were
given tickets bearing the names of
Parker delegates. This was accom-
plished by dealing from the bottom of
stacks of tickets, the upper part of the
bundle being Lincoln Roosevelt pastors
and the lower half, turned face down
ward, being the Southern Pacific ma
chine ticket.

houses were used as polling places
Great confusion in receiving and tab
ulating the returns was experienced at
party headquarters and at the county
clerks office. Election officials did not
understand the primaries and the coun-
ty clerks force was unable to tabulate
returns in an intelligible manner.
Consequently, it may be days before
actual results are known and it is be-
lieved the tangle will not be straight
ened until after the canvaSsing board
has finished its session.

SACRAMENTO DRIVEN
Railroad Wins by Money,
Threats and Organization

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1.-THE per-
feet organization of the Herrin machine
was too much for the Lincoln Roosevelt
league at the primary election in this
city today and the regular republican
ticket won out in every precinct. The
hand of the Southern Pacific company
showed itself early in the fight. Rail-
road employees, instead of being at their
usual posts of duty, were stationed
near the various polling places hand
ing out the regular ticket to voters.
The machine managed to get a large
part of the vote of the railroad shop
employees by threatening a shutdown in
case the machine ticket did not win.
the Herrinites spared no expense in
rounding up voters. Many automobiles
were kept busy all day by the railroad
push taking railroad employees and
others to the polling places. The regu-
lars overlooked nothing in their en-
deavors to get votes and in several in
stances resorted to questionable prac-
precincts an unsuspecting voter who
wanted to vote the league ticket was
directed to mail box TO deposit his
the precinct that includes Chinatown
the regulars marshaled up eight Chi
nese who had registered, being native
sons. and voted them for the machine
ticket.
The regulars also won out in the
country district. Although all the re-
turns were not in UP to late hour
tonight, enough had been received to
indicate the result. In IL precincts out
of 81 the regulars got 676 votes to 40
for the league. The total vote cast in
the city was something. about 1000.
In the seventeenth assembly district in
this city the vote was as follows
Total republican vote cast, 1852; reg
ulars. 1,154; league, 424.
Eighteenth assembly district, total
republican vote, 1886; regulars, 1885;
league, 501-
The democrats had no contest and
cast but a few ballots. Many demo-
Gratis were borrowed by the Herrin
machine and voted the regular repub-
lican ticket to help defeat the league.
The result of the election means that
Grove l.. Johnson will be the republi-
can candidate for the assembly from
the seventeenth district. In the eight
eenth district the fight lies between
Frank O'Brien and William Hall. In
the nineteenth district the candidate
will be former Assemblyman W.. w.
Greer.
The contest for the nomination of
state senator from this county lies be-
tween Senator j. A. Mckee and Assem-
blyman J. NJ. Higgins.

HUMBOLDT DOWNS BOSSES
Anti-Machine Forces Sweep
GiIIett's County
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

EUREKA, Aug. 11.-Humboldt county
has recorded splendid victory over
bosses and bossism. Working under
tremendous odds, so far as organization
was concerned, the forces allied and
sympathet tic with the anti-machine move
ment in republican politics have swept
the county, and as a result Charles
P. Cutten. who served with high dis
tinction in the last assembly; William
Kehoe, one of the most prominent
young lawyers and anti-machine men
of Eureka, and Henry Hansen, a mer-
chant of Fortuna, are to be the can
didates of the republican party. Cutten
for the state senate in place of George
L. Rolley, and Kehoe and Hanson for
the assembly in the second and third
districts, respectively.
Cutten has won out by upward of 230
votes in the second district and up
ward of loo in the third district. Kehoe
wins the assembly nomination in the
second by safe margin, and Hansen,
while having a close convention fight
ahead against Jack McClelland, is re-
garded as a winner. The result is a
straight out victory for Ralph w. Bull
and the anti-machine element which
he has led against the machine con-
trolled locally by Sterling A. Campbell
in the interests of the Herrin machine

MRS. WEBB'S CHECK
CASE BEFORE JURY
Former Wife of Tobacco Mag

This Morning

CHICAGO. Aug. 11.-Mrs. Alice L.
Webb. former wife of Brodie L. Duke,
the millionaire tobacco dealer, sat
garped from head to foot in black to-
day in Judge Kersten's court while a
jury was selected to try her on a
charge of defrauding the Great North
ern hotel out of $50 by means of a
worthless check.
Two colored men in the venire were
dismissed from service on the jury at
a hint from Mrs. Webb to her attorney
that they might be prejudiced against
Mrs. Webb's defense is that she did
not know the check was worthless.
The witnesses for the hotel company
admitted that the check had since
been redeemed and the account set
tied
The case was given to the jury late
this afternoon, Judge Kersten Of the
criminal court instructing the Jurors to
bring in a sealed verdict tomorrow

L. Beardslee will be renominated In
the country section of San Joaquin
county, however, it is probable that A.
T. Percival, a Lincoln-Roosevelter, will
be nominated for the assembly
In San Francisco the league won five
assemblymen, one. or possibly two, SEN
ators, Welch, and possibly in the
twenty third, where the thirtieth as
sembly district elected three machine
delegates, and the forty-second. where
the machine also elected the three
delegates. In Alameda the league won
four OF the seven assemblymen and the
nomination of ]. w. Stetson and ]. H.
Strobridge for the senate
The two assembly nominees of Fresno
county will be league men. The victory
won under Warren Johns leadership
IN San Luis Obispo will mean the nomi-
nation of league assemblyman, prob
ably L. f. Sinsheimer. The league won
Ventura county few days ago, which
means the denomination of G.. L. Sackett.
The organization was triumphant in
San Diego city yesterday and will name
the candidate for that assembly district.
In the district embracing the country
section the result is in doubt for in
stead of primaries caucus meetings
were held.
At midnight the outcome in Los An
geles was regarded as in doubt, but the
indications were that the league had
won, Chairman Lissner of the county
executive committee claiming 500 of
the SS3 delegates who will constitute
the county convention. Marshall Stim-
son was defeated for the senatorial
nomination in the thirty-seventh dis
strict Lissner claims that the league
wins four of the nine assembly nomina-
tions.
The league won handsomely in Palo
Alto, but made no organized fight else
where in Santa Clara county. The
league viii have at least one assembly,
man from the county, with probabiii-
ties that the other two will be anti
railroad. George Walker, who has
been indorsed by the league, will un-
doubtedly win the senatorial nomina-
tion.
The result in Santa Rosa indicates
that Lyman Green of Petaluma and
H. w. Weske of Santa Rosa will be
nominated for the assembly. Both
are accounted organization men, but of
the mild type, that are not disposed to
take orders from Herrins men,
The league had its own way in Butte
county. where primaries were held, and
1T is expected that J. W. Phinney, w. J.
Costar and A. II. Hewitt, all league
men, will be nominated for the assem-
bly, in the fifth, seventh and eighth
districts, respectively.
There is strong probability that two
of the organization delegates from Santa
Barbara county will join with the
minority delegation from Ventura and
bring about the nomination of Dr. Mott,
a league man of the latter county, for
the senate.

A Pretty Entertainment.

Friday evening last guests to the num-
ber of forty or more we're delightfully."-
entertained by the Musical Club of Tio-
nesta, at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j..
Floyd Proper. The program, embracing
instrumental selections, choruses, quar-
tets, duets and solos, was exquisitely
carried out, and so delighted the audience
that about every performer was obliged
dress Mrs. Sharpe, the President, gave an
outline of the origin of the Club, its aim
and purpose. This was followed by the
Polish Dance, an instrumental duet by
Mrs. Sheriff. Smith and Miss June Her.
man which received very liberal applause
as did also The Clubs rendering of the
"Voice of the Western Wind" Miss
Edith Hopkins rendition of Ballade,
opus AZ, Chopin, was beautiful, as were
the other instrumental selections, Adagio,
Haydn, by Mrs. James d. Davis, and
Polsnsise, opus IL, Moszkowski, by Miss
Olive Lsnson, each of which drew forth
generous applause from the ssemblage.
Two solos by Prof. Gill we're well re-
ceived, and in each case he was abliged TO
respond to encores. Miss Lenore Ritchey
was recalled after very beautifully rem
dering "Love, The Pedlar," in solo of
unusual sweetness. "Love's Old Sweet
Song" a quartet by Mrs. Smith, Mrs.
Cora Felt, and Misses Elva Lanson and
Lenore Ritchey was feature of the pref
ty entertainment greatly appreciated.
AS hostess of the evening Mrs. Proper
was lavished with compliments and un-
stinted praise. and the refreshments she
served compared most favorably with the
sweetness of the musical luncheon upon
which the guests of the evening had
feasted,
