JOHNSON CARRIES
San FRANCISCO
Prediction Estimates Upset by
Landslide for Decent
Government
Indications Point to Victory for
Entire Republican State
Ticket in City

Upsetting every prediction esti-
itself yesterday with the majority of
the state on the side of good govern
ment and progressive republicanism.
Hiram w. Johnson and practically the
entire state ticket have carried this
city by a clean margin, according to
the returns received up to l o'clock this
morning.
Indications from returns from scat
terfng precincts in every assembly dis
trict in the city are that Johnson's
plurality over Bell in San Francisco
Will range from 1000 TO 1000, with the
whole ticket holding well up to this
same figure and with a few state Off
cials running slightly ahead. The
single exception so fas as the state
ticket is concerned is in the fight for
lieutnenat governor, in which Timothy
Spellacy shows a lead of about to 3
over A. J. Wallace, Johnson's running
mate. The local republican victory,
in view of prediction prior to the cleo
ton. is fully as complete and over
whelming as the triumph in the rest
of the state.
LEAD WILL BE INCREASED
Partial reports at late hour from
LIS scattering precincts out of 352 in
San Francisco gave a total of 1923
votes for Johnson as against 4 @54
Bell, but with indications that this
LII he ~ateriaIiy Increased sl
the districts still to be heard from. At
,.as s~gael.ean headquarters johnson 5
plurality in San Francisco was esti-
mated at midnight at 2,700 over Bell,
o~l = victory for the entire state
ticket. with the exception of the lieu
l~Aant sorernorship, was claimed in
this city.
Supreme Justices Sloss and Melvin
show a strong lead over Judge Lawlor
in. this city in the supreme court con-
test, while Judge Bledsoe. the other
democratic candidate, has been over
whelmingly defeated here. With the
exception of a single assemblyman,
the city will send solid republican
delegation to both the state senate
and assembly.
INCUMBENTs RE-ELECTED
The only democratic victory in San
Francisco indicated by the early re-
turns, tsh the<exception of the. Wal
lace-Spellacy fight, is in the local ju-
dicial contest, it being practical
certainty. that all four incumbent
judges of the superior court, including
three democrats and one republican
will be returned to the bench by sub
st3ntial maJoritfes.
]. Stitt Wilson, the socialist candi-
date for governor, has received a large
vote in San Francisco. In the incom-
plete returns from 176 precincts he
received 1.757 votes, as compared with
1929 given Johnson and 4,)54 accorded
Bell His probable total in San Fran
cisco will reach somewhere between
10000 and 10000 votes.
Registrar F. c. Harrington estimated
at midnight that the total vote polled
in San Francisco was approximately
$4,000. The bulk of this was cast be-
fore o'clock in the afternoon, the
heaviest voting of the day having been
during the early morning hours Fully
so per cent of the vote was cast by
noon. There was heavy voting about
the noon hour and then a lull until be-
tween 5 and o'clock in the after
noon, where there was final rush.
SPEILACY LEADS WALLACE
The partial returns from 176 out of
352 precincts in the lieutenant gov
ernorship fight give Spellacy a total
of 1926 to 3,289 for Wallace. The vote
on justices of the supreme court in
these same precincts was: Sloss 1856.
Melvin 1859. Lawlor 3,27S, and Bledsoe
1876.
Judge Lemons victory over Judge
Coffey for presiding justice of the first
district appellate court is indicated by
the San Francisco figures, although in
this city alone Judge Coney will have
a fair majority. The vote recorded in
this contest in the city of San Fran
cisco at l o'clock this morning was
Coffey 3,947 and Lennon Sill. Out
side counties, however, show a lead
for Lennon of sufficient strength Ito
offset the majority given the demo-
cratic candidate in this city.
For secretary of state. Frank Jordan
has overwhelmed Simeon S. Bayley, his
democratic opponent, so far as this
give JORDAN 1857 and Bayley 2,319. A.
B. Nye. unopposed for the Office of
state controller. has polled the great
est individual vote in this city and
probably throughout the state, the in
returns from 176 precincts in !.
San Francisco giving him SIPS.
