COURT
HOUSE RING
WINS SOME
Paid Workers Effective at
Precincts-Centered on
Local Contests.

In the primary election yesterday
the republicans of Spokane county
voted for house cleaning in the
halls of congress, but TUNED the
county government over to the old
machine that has had its grip on
the threats of the taxpayers for
over a generation.
Republicans voted to send Po;n-
dexter to the United States senate,
but trusted his fate to standpat can
didates for the legislature, who will
elect the senator.
No opposition was given to Poin-
dexter by the gang, because they
realized that it was useless. They
conferred their attention on the leg.
islative candidates and the men
running for the county offices, and
in this respect the gang came out OF
the race with colors flying. BY
steering clear Of the senatorial
fight they fooled the people and got
their votes.
The courthouse machine received
an awful scare in the primaries
uOcuoJ' Guliy lCtul Ao WCIe
against the ring candidates, but
later reports showed that their
faithful lieutenants in the several
trusted precincts had delivered the
goods.
Yesterday at the polling places
the gang was represented by paid
skilled boosters, who worked
against every man out in the inter
est of good government. except pos
sibly Poindexter and the congress
men-although for the latter place
there was quite an effort to boos,
two of the candidates.
The people had no one at the
polls, in most instances, to plead
their cause, and the skilled work
ers Of the ring managed to get ir
their work.

BANNER
PRECINCT

Election returns bring out some
strange things. Probably the only
precinct that Judge Poindexter lost
in the county was Colbert precinct.
Judge Poindexter's ranch is in Col.
bert township and it seems that
some Of his old acquaintances there
either voted against him or his
friends failed to go to the polls
However, as there were but IL
votes cast, Colbert does not amount
to much in the balance. Poindex.
ter received 2 votes, Burke 4. and
Ashton 8.
Probably the banner Poindexter
precinct In point Of unanimity is
Truitt, where Poindexter got every
vote cast but two, and these were
equally divided between HUMPHREYS
and Freeman. This is a 16-to-1
ratio.
Many democrats who voted their
own ticket scratched it and voted
for Poindexter just the same.

STORM AGAINST
STREET WORK

Last night the city council en-
countered veritable storm of pro-
tests against different public i'm
provements. Many Of the improve
ments had been 'railroaded"
through the city council. without
the knowledge or consent of the
property owners, who, when asked
to foot the excessive bills. in. some
cases, naturally kicked. Some of
these were set aside. ya,2
One of these jobs was the i'm
provement of Addison street, Lib
erty to Rowan, against WHICH oyer
70 property owners entered protest
because of the excessive cost and
the unfairness of the asseSsment.
luton introduced by Councilman
The work had been started by reso-
Nelson. Last night the assessment
roll was cnofirmed by the following
vote: Aye, Nelson, Dalke. M6hr,
Shaefer and Gray. Nay, RelshHw,
Funk, Cartwright and Schiller. -

DEMOCRATS VOTED
REPUBLICAN BALLOTS

Less than 10 per cent of the vote
cast in yesterdays primaries went
to the democratic ticket. The
democrats voted the republican pri-
mary ballots, and in this got on the
band wagon with the vast majority.
Such well known democratic wheel
horses as A. G. Edwards, former
candidate for lieutenant governor;
C.. c. Dempsey, ex-sheriff; Mike
Dunn, ex-candidate for councilman;
DR.. ]. ]. O'Shea, city emergency
physician; Julius Zittel, manager
of Mayor Pratt's campaign two
years ago, and Judge P. F. Quinn
united in the general stampede.
H. d. Merritt has defeated Orris
Dorman for congress In Spokane
county, but it is believed that Dor
man will be nominated in the dis
trict.
DR.. p. S. Byrne, for United
States senator. has made good
showing against George Cotterill,
but the latter seems to have the
most votes.
The contests for congress and
senator were the only ones waged
by the democrats.
The democratic county and
legislative tickets were nominated
without opposition.

BIG FIGHT ON PHILLIPS

BIG FIGHT ON PHILLIPS.
The most holly contested fight
on the county ticket is between Joe
Phillips and Allan Scott for com
missioner in the First district. The
two men were neck and neck all
morning, first one being ahead and
then the other. At noon in 81 of
the Sc precincts gave Scott lead
of 20 votes.
For a time Ben Newell, the farm.
ers' candidate for commissioner in
the Second district, was in the
lead. Then Dishman of Opportun-
ity crawled out in the lead and is
nominated. The candidacy of H.
P. Hanson, farmer, backed by the
ring as counter attraction to
Newell, helped to beat the latter.
Mac Pugh for sheriff has a good
lead over Shenk, although Shenk
made good showing. In many
precincts Shenk ran neck and neck
with Pugh.
WEBsTER'S BIG LEAD.
Later returns are giving Judge
Webster a big lead over his next
nearest competitor, A. M. Craven,
for the superior bench.
Cal Atkinson, county clerk, has
beaten Otto Banner. Atkinson
was backed by the machine and
had his workers in every precinct.
c. L. Graves for county engineer
and Glen Creighton for assessor
had a walkaway. Graves had a
big lead over Joe Snow. and
Creighton has outdistanced ]. S.
Graves.
DR.. Schlegel has been renomi-
mated for coroner. DR.. George A.
Downs made fine showing against
him and for a time had Schlegel
pushed for lead.
The result on county superin-
tendent of schools is surprise.
f. V. Yeager secured a big lead
over Professor Schlauch in the city
and has won by large majority,
overcoming the support in the
country given to Schlauch.

dates are pledged to support the
party choice.
While there are no returns from
the Democratic primaries, results
in that party, most of them uncon-
tested or practically SO. will be
George F. Cotterill, of Seattle, for
Senator; w. w. Black, of Everett,
for congress, first district; Maurice
Langhorn, of Tacoma, for congress,
second district, and ]. B. Dofman or
w. H. Merritt, of Spokane, for con-
gress, third district Should either
Humphrey or McCredie be nominal
ed on the republican ticket he
would face possible defeat by his
democratic opponent in November.
The senatorial and all three of
the congressional contests in the
republican party were fought on the
national insurgent issues, the
Payne-Aldrich tariff, the high cost
of living, national opposed to state
conservation, the domination Of
politics by big business, Aldrichism
and Cannonism. q,.r,.,.
The stand-patters sought to stem
the tide of revolt by pleading for
harmony, sanity and the support Of
the Taft administration, 81. but
throughout the campaign it WAS i'm
possible for them to assemble Audi-
ences to listen to their arguments.
The insurgent fight, on the other
hand, has, from the beginning, been
a campaign of red fire enthusiasm.
Yesterdays result probably
means that the entire Washington
delegation in congress next year
will be in the insurgent column.
Senator Wesley l.. Jones, who was
elected as an insurgent two years
ago, but who has acted with the
Aldrich faction, and who has sup
ported stand-patters in this cam
paign, is expected to accept this no.
tice from his state as its desire for
him to join the insurgents, and II
stand-pat congressional candidates
are nominated 1t will be necessary
for them to renounce the Cannon
leadership in order to be lected.
Humphrey, by the way, renounced
Cannon during the primary cam
paign.
The primbary result is, also, re-
pudiation of the action of Acting
Governor M. E. Hay, in calling the
recent state conservation confer
ence of governors at Salt Lake, and
in opposing Roosevelt and Pinchot
at the national conservation con-
gress. Burke, Ashton and the
stand-pat congressional candidates
all argued in the campaign for~state
as opposed to federal conservation.
