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 J. B. Dcrman 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. ,g..
The stand-patters sought to stem
the tide of revolt by pleading for
harmony, sanity and the support of
the Taft administration, but
throughout the campaign it was i'm
possible for them to assembfeAudi-
ences to listen to their arguments.
The insurgent fight. on the other
hand, has, from the beginning, been
campaign of red fire enthusiasm.

delegation In congress next year

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 we'll known democratic wheel
horses as A. C. Edwards, former
candidate for lieutenant governor;
c. c. Dempsey, ex-sheriff; Mike
Dunn, ex-candidate for councilman;
DIR. J. ]. 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.
DIR. P. S. Byrne, for United
States senator, has made a 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.

man is nominated. Also Anderson,

BIG FIGHT ON PHILLIPS.
The most hotly 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 a fine showing against
him and for a time had Schlegel
pushed for lead.
The result on county superin-
tendent of schools is a 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.

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 A, and
Ashton 3.
Probably the banner Poindextel
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 q 16-to-1
ratio.
Many democrats who voted theil
own ticket scratched it and vOtet
for PoindeXter just the same.
