SEATTLE, Sept. 1.-THE count Of
the ballots Of King county was COM
pleted tonight. from which it appears
almost certain that Representative
William Z. Humphrey. regular repub
licsn. has been beaten in the First dis
trict by Thomas P. Revells, insurgent.
In King county Revells received s,622
votes, Humphrey 7.I3l, a plurality for
Reelle Of nearly 1900 votes Revelles
plurality in King county is much more
than Offset by Humphreys pluralities
in Whatcom. Skagit, Snohomish, Kit
sap, Island and san Juan counties, yet
Humphrey. on the returns now in hand
has less than the necessary 40 percent
o. all the votes cast and the second
rchoioe provision Of the state primary
law comes into operation.
II the second choice provision oper-
ates. ReveIle's plurality in King county
will be 8.64S, and in the other counties
Humphreys pluralities will be wiped
out, for not many second choice votes
were cast for Humphrey as compared
. with Revelle.
Late returns leave Miles Poindexter.
United States senator, still with a plu-
rality o fmore than 10000. The total

IN the second or Tacoma district when
he defeated Representative ". W. Nc
Credie- The third or Spokane district
which nominated William La Fallette
kinsmsn Of the wisconsin senator, has
been insurgent.
The democratic vote was so small
that returns sent in thus far take nc
account OF it II is expected that State
Senator George r. Cotterai of Seattle
national head Of the Good Templars
has received the democratic nomination
for Senator. In the first district. the
only democratic candidate for repre-
who was unanimously elected. In the
second district NJ Langhorne of Ia
coma was similarly nominated.
AS the democratic vote was only 5
per cent OF the total It is evident that
The democrats voted republican ballots,
and the regular republicans assign this
IS a cause Of their defeat. Poindexter
having received majority Of all the
votes cast any attempt to defeat him
in the legislature would be hopeless
even II there were q disposition on the
part Of any members to ignore the pri-
mary result A majority of the mem
bers Of the newly elected Legislature
are regulars.
