that If it were for the good of the
party the President undoubtedly would
not hesitate to say SO. The secretary
contended that it would be foolish to
resign so long as he enjoys the entire
confidence of the Chief Magistrate.
He then went on to say that he con-
identiy expects q complete vindication
of all charges by the congressional
Joint investigating committee. In adj

sweep at the duh gray clouds that
hung low over the field.
The flights yesterday afternoon by
Hoxsey and Ralph tombstone demon
strated that the Wright machines can

up for four minutes and made eight

1t was all Hoxsey could do to make

fall at any minute. On his second
flight the wind had died down some
what, and he remained in the air for
eight minutes,
Ra1ph tombstone frankly admitted
he did not care about going UP at
all, but did go in the air for two min

on the ground.

The program for today. if the wind

flight for altitude by Coityn in his

very anxious to fly again. and may

INSURGENTS WIN
PRIMARIES FIGHT
IN CALIFORNIA
Hiram Johnson GubernatOrial
Candidate by $4,000 Plural-
ity-Carries Others to Victory.

SAN FRANCISCO Cal. Aug. H.
That California IS insurgent in its
Republican politics was proved yester-
day beyond question when Hiram John
son, leading exponent of anti-machine
doctrines, swept the field in the direct
primaries, winning his party's nominal
ton for Governor by a plurality that
will border on $1,000 when all returns
are in.
just how great was the extent of the
disaster to the State cannot be known
until every districts report has been
heard from. but every indication points
to a c~lean-cut declaration by the party
for insurgency. 1t is asserted that
Johnson carried with him to victory
two i%nsurgent congressman, william
Kent in the Second district and w. d.
Stevens in the Seventh. The most COM
plete returns obtainable Indicate that
these men have been successful, al
though the fight is a close one in each
district. For United States Senator
Thomas Flint an advisory vote was
recorded, and while the returns are far
from complete, John D. Woods, run
ming with the same backing as thai ac-
corded johnson, seems to have
triumphed.
The other State offices will also be
filled by men of insurGent tendencies
If completed ounts follow out the lines
of the first returns.
The Democrats entered the primaries
with perfect harmony as to their nom
inees, and Theodore Bell viii make the
fight against Johnson for election.
In the Republican gubernatorial fight
Johnson had an easy victory. his
closest rival being Charles f. Curry,
running on the strength of his own
political machine. Alden Anderson, the
Regular. was hopelessly distanced, not
securing a single county. The ques-
ton now before the voters of the State
as the election itself. Democratic Lead
ers are declaring supreme confidence
in Bells ability to defeat johnson, bas-
ing their predictions on the splits in the
Republican ranks.
Bell and Johnson have made similar
declarations of this.
