RELEASE FROM RAILROAD
RULE PLEASES STIMS0N
Gives Credit for Victory to Work
erS in Precincts
BY MARSHALL sr1SrsoN

The result of today's election is the
strongest proof that the men who
placed their confidence in the rank and
file of the Republican party were not
mistaken. The leaders of the Lincoln
Roosevelt Republican league have al
ways felt that If the real Republicans
of California could be given an oppor-
tunity to fairly express themselves
that they would nominate for their
party candidates men who are free
from the domination of the railroad
machine"
This result has not been achieved
without hard work, for in the many
years during which the railroad has
controlled our state government 1t has
managed to place every possible OBJ
stacle in the way of a popular express
sion of the will of the voters. Our
success today In Los Angeles county
was due to the untiring and loyal work
of the men in the precincts. They went
into this fight with a snap and vigor
that drove the machine" workers off
their feet.
When the men who have been nom
mated take office they will put legisla-
ton on our statute books that will
wipe out many of the clumsy features
of the present law. We will have the
short ballot and elect fewer offices and
exercise more care IN their choice.
This fight was made for a principle
and by men who were urged on by
their enthusiasm for that principle.
The result will be Of untold benefit to
our state.

furnish the historian and the economist
with a capacious storehouse of ma
terial for new differences. What is per-
haps more useful still, the proceedings
of these tribunals let light into the
that it becomes daily more difficult for
the well-to-do half of the community
to remain unaware how the half that
is not well-to-do manages to live.
One important question, already the
subject of study in many lands has
been dealt with by an award of Mr..
Justice Higgins in the boot trade dis
pute, given in his capacity as presi-
dent of the federal arbitration court.
Some of the chief matters in dispute
arose out of the question of appren-
ticeship, which presents difficulties
that crop up nowadays In every coun-
try in nearly all industrial undertake
ings. The men always strive for a
rigid limitation of the number of APP
prentices, partly, no doubt, because
they do not want to see work that
might employ a well paid man done
by an underpaid boy, and partly be-
cause they want to keep wages by
limiting the supply of fully qualified
men. The employer, on the other hand,
naturally enough, wishes the system
extended rather than curtailed. His
aim Is to get his labor cheaper. while
he shares the public interest in see
Ing that an ample supply of compe-
tent workmen Is always at hand.
Mr.. Justice Higgins, after an ex-
haustive inquiry into the working OF
the system in the boot trade, arrived
at the conclusion that the appren-
ticeship system is unsuitable for fac

AUSTRALIA INDUSTRIAL
TRIBUNALS IMPARTIAL
Investigate All Sorts of Problems
Associated with the Dis
trjbution of Wealth

SYDNEY, N. S. W., Aug, 20.-Steady
and very significant developments are
taking place under the operations OF
industrial tribunals now established in
five out of the six states of the COM
monWealth of Australia. Though these
do not secure unbroken industrial
peace, they have composed many diff
ferences. Independently or practical
gains they are furnishing every other
day some valuable lessons In praetlcal
economics. In the course OF their in
yestigations all sorts of subsidiary
problems associated with the distribu-
ton of wealth, of which most people
never suspected the existence, are
pressed upon these tribunals in one
form or another. Every detail of the
conditions under which the working
population lives, every change in their
necessities wrought by alterations in
political and social environment; every
process in the manufacturing indus
tries, with it's effects upon those en-
gagged in it; every aspect of the rela-
ton between employer and employe
are liable to be inquired into, and
many are being explained with pre-
cision by the people actually con-
cerned.
This is done before an impartial
authority, whose business 1t is to deal
with or allow for these varied ana
varying factors in the life of working
people, Such matters must have come
from time to time in some shape be-
fore employers and employed. But
their discussion in the presence of the
public and their examinations by minds
free from the prepossessions of self
interest have a far higher social value.
They make possible the correlation OF
similar sets of facts in different en-
elicit new suggestions for
the solution Of industrial difficulties,

NEW PROCESS NOW USED
FOR BALLOON INITIATION

PARIS, Aug. 3O.-An interesting ex-
pertinent relative to the imitation of bal
looms of airships has been carried out at
the park of the Aero club.
A spherical balloon of 200 cubic me-
tiers capacity was inflated by a new
process. A powder, called hydrogenite,
packed in capsules, was used for the
experiment. Each capsule, when light
ed by a match, produces Immediately
eight cubic meters of hydrogen, with a
lifting force Of 1850 grammes. The pur-
est hydrogen, as manufactured by MN.
Lebaudy, has a normal lifting force of
1l75 grarnmes to the cubic meter. The
apparatus required weighs about 1900
pounds, and the simplicity of the pro-
cess, coupled with the fact that no wa
ter is required, makes it probable that
it will be of considerable utility for
airships in war conditions.

ALMOST BLIND, TOTALLY
ILLITERATE, CASTS BALLOT
Board Declines to Help H. Buc-
koWsky in Voting

H. Buckowsky. So years old, of 500
North Bunker Hill avenue, presented
himself at the polling place of pre-
cinct No. 80, at Bunker Hill avenue
and Sunset boulevard, and declaring
that he can neither read nor write and
is almost blind, requested aid in pre-
pairing his ballot,
Erwin Dingle, regular" was will
ing to give the man aid, but s. A.
Waldron, good government worker and
captain. of eight precincts, objected to
the procedure, declaring that when
Buckowsky registered, he swore he
could read and write, and alleging that
the mans eyesight was good.
Although expert legal opinion was
sought and given, the men who ar
rayed themselves against each other
because of the mans request for as
sistance, could not agree and SO
Buckowsky finally said he would do
the best he could alone.
Because of the secrecy of the ballot
what may be quite an oddly In the
way of a ballot, providing he really
cannot read, write or see clearly, is
lost forever to the public.
Other troubles in the same district
were caused by literature of the reg
ulars" and the good government men.
They could not agree upon where 1t
should be displayed and so neither side
had much of 1t to show the voters
The children of the neighborhood,
however, finally confscated much of It,
and literally covered the streets with
it. The youngsters also caused much
apprehension for their safety by their
frequent requests for rides In the au-
tomobiles and other conveyances which
took voters to the polls and among
which the children played. Most of
the youngsters were given their de-
sire, the politicians taking time to let
them ride a block or two.

.BEKINS AND MANSFIELD
WINNERS, SAYS NORTON
Gives Herald Credit for Defeat of
Machine Men Who Were
Their Opponents
BY ALBERT NJ. NORTON,
Chairman Democratic County Central Com
Enittee.

Chairman Democratic County Central COM
mittee.
The Democracy of Los Angeles
county extends its thanks to the DEM
ocrats of the Thirty eighth senatorial
district and the Third Supervisorial
district for the nomination of Martin
Bekins and J. l.. Mansfield. Since the
famous Democratic county convention
of August, 1905 Democracy has shown
that 1t will nominate clean good gov
eminent men when put to the test IN
a contest with machine men.
Unless later precincts change the re-
suits from a personal canvass of the
returns, both Mr.. Bekins and Mr..
Mansfield have been nominated by
good majorities, which would have
been larger if some Democrats had not
been deceived into thinking that be-
cause they had signed nominating
petition of Mr.. Mcdonald or Mr.. Hid
den they were legally bound to vote Tor
them.
Without any attempt whatsoever to
even suggest the naming of any dele
gate to the county convention of Aug
ust 27 the last work of the Democratic
| county central committee will be IN
dorsed by fully 95 per cent of the del
| egates to that convention. The county
| central committee feels that its untlr-
ing work in building UP an almost per-
work in the effort to elect clean, good
government men to Office will have its
| effect in the coming election. Good
| government is so firmly entrenched In
Democracys ranks that it can never
he dislodged. The very small percent
age of Democrats who wrote IN the
name of Republican candidates on
their ballots shows that Democracy r
| familiar with the tricks of the politl-
clans, -.
Let all Democrats remember that
from now on all our untiring efforts
will be used to elect our ticket NOM
mated at yesterdays primaries.
Too much praise cannot be given to
The Herald for the remarkable work
it has done in the interest OF good
Government. Without it's aid the de-
feat of Mr.. Belkins and Mr.. Hidden
would not have been possible. The
Democracy of California is greatly in
debted to it for its magnificent work.

Returns from the south late tonight
indicated another insurgent victory
among the Republicans of the Seventh
congressional district. Forty-nine pre-
cincts out of a total of $50 in Los An
geles gave Stephens, insurgent, 1856;
McLachlan, regular and incumbent,
1914. It is thought that the insurgents
have carried the city by 5000.
RETURNS SCATTERING
For the other offices returns are very
scattering. They would indicate that
johnson has carried to victory the
/ Ajority of his ticket, but an esti-
mate of the vote is impossible. For
lieutenant governor, Albert ]. Wallace
seems to have a strong lead, and the
only conclusion to be drawn from the
meager figures on the advisory vote
for United States senator is that John
D. Works has been nominated.
For attorney general, Frank Nc
Gowan has ran a strong race against
u. S. Webb, the incumbent, but Webb's
nomination is indicated.
For many Offices there are no figures
at hand. AS the Democrats had no
contests except in the Fourth con-
gressional district, their ticket will APP
pear on the election ballots as it did in
the primaries. In the Fourth district
Julius Kahn, the Republican incum-
bent was without opposition, while T..
P. Trey and Arthur Macarthur strug-
gled for the Democratic nomination.
No figures on the outcome are at
hand.
From the sIowness with which re-
turns are coming In it is safe to say
that several days will be required to
determine the outcome of the legisla-
tive fights. No figures on any but the
gubernatorial race, some Of the con-
gressional contests and other offices In
a haphazard manner have been re-
ceived from many parts of the state.

Meyer LiSSner Describes Fight
Which eliminated in Yes
terday's Triumph
ACHIEVEMENT is GLORIOUS
Credit Given Herald as One of the
Most Potent Factors in
Winning Fight
BY MEYER LIsSNER

Notwithstanding the fact that the
first direct primary nominating law
enacted in the state of California by
an unwilling machine controlled legis-
lature was made as difficult as posi-
BILE in its practical application, the vot-
ers of California have demonstrated
that they have the intelligence to
take advantage Of the opportunity
given them TO nominate their own can
didates without the Intervention of
packed caucuses, primaries and boss
controlled conventions.
In the glorious achievement of the
redemption of California from govern
mental control by the political bu-
reau of a great railroad corporation
part. The real initiative of this work
was started in this county. particularly
in the city of Los Angeles, five years
ago, when partisanship was eliminated
from our municipal affairs,
The success achieved in delivering
the city of Los Angeles from its local
bosses, who were simply a part of the
statewide Southern Pacific political
machine, encouraged those who have
taken part in that movement to en-
deavor to accomplish the same result
for the state, and the Lincoln Roose-
welt Republican league movement was
started three years ago at a very
small meeting held in the city of Los
Angeles, at which representatives were
present from different parts of the
state.
GOOD GOVERNMENT ASSURED
The people of California have been
ready for this movement for long
time; they have not worn the yoke of
Southern Pacific political domination
willingly or with patience; but 1t re-
quired some leadership and some I'M
selfish work on the part of men who
were willing to suffer criticism, mis-
representation and abuse for the good
of the cause. The result compensates
for all of that. California has been
redeemed. We shall have a governor,
state executive officials and legisla-
ture worthy of the people Of the state.
The members of the legislature from
Los Angeles county who have been
nominated and who will undoubtedly
be elected constitute the cleanest, most
intelligent and most representative
delegation from this county that 1t has
ever had the privilege Of sending to
Sacramento.
Too much credit cannot be given the
Los Angeles Herald for the magnificent
spirit with which an independent
Democratic newspaper subdued par
tisanship in it's laudable and successful
effort to assist in a movement which
transcends all partisanship. The Herald
has demonstrated that it has been
one of the most potent factors in the
redemption of the county of Los An
geles and the state of California from
corporation control.

SAN FRANCISCO VOTE
REACHES HEAVY TOTAL
Returns Equal Those of Regular
State Election

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-Fine
weather brought out heavy early
vote at the primaries here today, many
workingmen voting before going to
work. From the size of the vote cast
during the first two hours, the total
promises to be as heavy as at a reg
ular state election. 1t was stated at
Democratic headquarters that con-
tests for local, district and congress
sional nominations in that party were
bringing out most of its registered
strength.
No disorder was reported from any
of the polling places, although the
workers were more than usually active
about the booths. The day was sunny
but cool, and it was expected the in
f1uence of these pleasant weather con-
ditions on the size of the vote cast
would be considerable.
At the several headquarters of the
gubernatorial candidates the men who
are watching the count tonight were
being organized. The usual rumors
that plans had been made to count
out certain candidates were circulated
and some of the organizations were
planning to take extraordinary precau-
lions to prevent frauds.
Fearing a clash between the watch
ers for the rival camps, the police held
all of the watchers in reserve tonight.
The 215 polling booths which had
been provided for today's primaries
proved inadequate In the city and
county primaries last fall only 149
booths were used, as against 800 for
the general election, but the increase
made for today's primaries was quickly
proved to be insufficient and the regis
trar of voters stated at an early hour
that hereafter he would provide as
many polling places for the statewide
primary as for the general election.
In the thirty-second senatorial dis
trict half of the registered vote had
been cast by noon, and 1t was esti-
mated then by the election commits
sion the figures for that district would
be duplicated throughout the city.
BY noon 10000 ballots were cast in
this city, and Registrar Harrington
estimated that a total of at least 55,-
900 would be deposited before the polls
closed. Similarly heavy voting was
reported from Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda. On the contrary, reports
from interior points indicated a marked
falling off in the expected totals. Sac
ramento, Eureka and others reporting
that the vote would not exceed 80 per
cent of the registration.
At the Curry headquarters in this
city 1t was claimed at noon that Curry
would poll 60 per cent of the total
Republican vote of San Francisco.
Similarly optimistic claims were made
by the johnson managers with re-
spect to Alameda county. Anderson's
managers adhered to their prediction
that Anderson would go out of San
Francisco with plurality of 5000.

NORWAY BARRED BY ICE

CHRISTIANIA, Aug. 2o.-News has
been received from Spitzbergcn that
there have been unusual ice difficulties
this year on the western coast. The
steamer Maine, having the Prince Helm
rich Zeppelin expedition on board, mar
rowly escaped being inclosed in ice.
1t Is reported also that the eastern
coasts are barred by masse of ice.
Eastern winter ice used to appear at
the earliest at the end Of August, but
this year it approached South Cape in
July, where it formed a belt twenty sea
miles long off the coast. Under these
circumstances some fears are felt lest
the expedition now coasting in Spitz-
bergen waters should be inclosed or
hindered.

be an appropriate function for the

extension and improvement OF the state

PREDICTS JOHNSON WILL
CARRY EVERY COUNTY

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16-Speak-
ing for Hiram Johnson, Albert Nc
Cabe, secretary at his headquarters,
said tonight that Johnson would carry
every county in the state with the eX-
ception of San Francisco, where he
expected Curry to have a plurality of
$500. The office was a scene of jolli-
fication. Many congratulatory mes
sages were received by the insurgent
candidate and among the callers was
Theodore Roosevelt, jr., who came to
shake hands with Johnson on his vic
tory.
