BY Il. SHELLY SUTTON
The Southern Pacific machine de-
| molished; the entire good government
Democratic. ticket nominated; its two
discredited candidates "Muggins'
| Mcdonald and Enoch Hidden-com-
| pletely relegated; the Lincoln -Roose-
welt Republican league ticket nominal
| ed with but three or four exceptions
and Stanton, Curry and Ellery over
| whelmingly defeated; Meserve an6
| Spalding SHOWED UNDER" Hiram
Johnson and John D. Works far in the
| lead as the Republican nominees fol
| governor and United States senator
respectively, the city and county OF
Los Angeles yesterday contributed
magnificently to the statewide tri-
| umph of reform and scored a remark
able victory in the face of a desperate
and unprecedented battle waged by
the machine"
Returns were unusually slow in
coming in, owing to the complicated
nature of the direct primary ballot,
| and at o'clock this morning but few
| outlying country districts had report
ed. These districts, it is admitted,
will probably change the majorities
| in the nomination of one or two men
whose defeat seemed apparent from the
city returns received last night.
Sufficient returns had been received
at o'clock this morning, however, to
make 1t certain that Hiram w. john
son, the league candidate for govern
or, has led over Stanton, second in
the race, by a large majority. At that
hour Meyer Lissner, who had been
| helping compile the returns all night,
and who is considered one of the best
political "dopesters'' in the state, gave
| out the following estimates:
RESULTS IN STATE FIGHT
Indications are that at least 5000
Republican votes have been cast in
Los Angeles county, of which Mr.. John
son has received a clear majority,
Stanton 80 per cent, Curry 10 per cent
and Anderson 5 per cent.
Wallace has about one-half of the
vote on lieutenant governor, Ferris
and Farmer about 20 per cent and
Keesllng 10 per cent.
Wilbur has about twice as many
votes for associate justice Of the su-
preme court as either Melvin or Sloss,
who are running about even.
OBrien leads for secretary of state.
} Nye for comptroller.
Webb for attorney general.
Kingsbury for surveyor general.
Taylor for clerk of supreme court
Hyatt probably for superintendent of
public instruction. II
Richardson for state printer.
Shaw probably nominated for justice
of appellate court.
McElvaine for board Of equaliza-
tion.
Eshleman for railroad commissioner.
Craig and Flnlayson sure for judges
of superior court, and probably Her
Vey.
Works has strong lead over Me-
serve for United States senator, with
Spalding poor third.
Stephens undoubtedly nominated for
congress over McLachlan.
Returns for county offices probably
nominated:
Hammel for sheriff.
F'redericks for district attorney.
Lelande for clerk.
Lewis for auditor.
Welch for tax collector.
Bryson for public administrator.
Coroner close.
Butler is undoubtedly nominated for
supervisor over Eldridge.
For state senator-GateS defeats Saw
age; Bell remonimated; Hewitt de-
feats Mccartney and Sanders.
The following assemblymen have
probably been nominated:
Sixty-seventh district-H. G. Cattell.
Sixty-eighth district-P. F. Cogs-
well.
Sixty-ninth district-W. e. Hinshaw.
Seventieth district-Dr e. M. Butler.
Seventy-first district-E. L. Brodeen.
Seventy-second district-H. Stanley
Benedict
Seventy-fourth district-Charles H.
Randall.
Seventy-fifth district-Dr. William A.
Lamb.
From these figures of Mr. Lissner 1t
will be seen that he comedies the nom
ination of several machine" men and
regulars, including Sheriff Hammel.
