The compilation shows that OF the

votes, Works 80 and Meserve 8. The
total vote for Works was 64,961, the
greatest. Spalding was second with
3,461. and Meserve had 52,553.
While Spalding had just 1900 more
less than Works, he won a safe major
ity of assembly and senatorial districts.
the San Diego candidate receiving
twenty-six senatorial and orty-nine
assembly districts. The counties of Los
Angeles Sacramento, Sonoma, Santa
Clara, San joaquin, humboldt and
Fresno have not been segregated into
senatorial and assembly districts.
Giving to Works all the districts in
Los Angeles save one. which was car
ried by Meserve, and all of the sem
atoral and assembly districts in F'res-
no and San Joaquin counties and
counting the districts in the other four
for Spalding, the latter is safe past the
goal of mis- primary struggle.
Under the new primary law the
members of the Legislature will have
two selections in casting their votes.
The practical effect of the direct pri-
mary law is that they may vote either
for the man receiving the largest num-

First Time in New Hampshire =
Vermont Selecting Nominees For
State and Congressional Offices.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 6.-Primaries
for the nomination of United States
senator, to make up two state tickets
and congressional candidates. Chief
interest centers in the outcome of the
States senator on the republican ticket
whether the primary nomination
shall go to Robert NJ. La Toilette, of
Madison, or to Samuel A. Cook, of
Weisse, Of the Sixth district, and Burt,
Williams, of Ashland, are seeking the
senatorial nomination from the demo-
Gratis. The polls will not close in the
larger cities until o'clock.
Final estimates Of the result of the
Wisconsin primaries forecast the nomi-
nation of Senator LaFollette over S. A.
Cook by popular vote of nearly two
to one. The democratic fight between
Burt William and Congressman C. H.
Weisse for the democratic senatorial
support is much in doubt. The defeat
of the county option republicans is
likely.
The fight for the governorship nomi-
nation appears to rest chiefly between
f. e. McGovern, LaF'ollette, republican,
and E. T. Fairchild, Taft republican,
both anticounty optionists. The Lewis
headquarters, however, say this appar-
ent strength of the anti county option
men is due to the fact that the dis
tricts from which the most definite re-
turns come are those of the cities, while
the Lewis support is to come in great
volume from the country districts. The
Lewis men say the country districts
will be for Lewis and county option by
an enormous plurality, sufficient to
overcome the city vote for the other
two candidates.

with the estimates last year, has been
determined upon finally by the war
department. Major General Wood

who returned to Washington today,
said the president had approved of the
estimates with few changes. and
that they were now ready for submis-
sion to congress thru the secretary OF
the treasury.
One feature of the estimates calls
for the construction of permanent
buildings in the Philippines for use OF
the army rather than temporary struc-
lures, such as have been the rule In
the past.

ACRE. TO ABRuzzI UNION.
Miss EIkirs Will Become Countess at
Cost of S5,000,0o0.


Paris, Sept. 6-Mfss katherine Ell
kins and Prince Luigi Amadeo Of Sa-
voy the Duke Of Abruzzi, will be
married the latter part of next Feb
ruary "a according to reports in diplomat
ic circles in Paris which seem to be abb
solutely reliable.
These reports say that the last OBJ
stacle to the wedding, the hostility of
the Duchess of Aosta to Miss Elkins,
has been overcome.
Miss Elkins, it is stated, will bring
to her royal husband, who numbers
among his ancestors King James l. of
England. marriage portion of $5,000,-
900 cash. This is not considered an
extra ordinary amount in view of the
rank of her prospective husband and
the wealth of her father, Senator
Stephen B. Elkins, of West Virginia
1t also is announced that before the
wedding Miss Elkins will embrace the
Roman Catholic faith and that prepar-
ations already have been completed for
her instruction in that religion. Her
preceptors will be Mgr. Beccari. royal
chaplain of the house of Savoy, and
Mgr. Bisleti, who is we'll known in
Europe as a close friend and personal
minister of Pope Plus.
Miss Elkins, according to those who
announce so positively that the we'd
ding has finally been agreed to by the
Italian royal family, will be created
Countess Of Teramo, in honor of one
of the largest towns in the Abruzzi dis
trict either shortly before or shortly
after official announcement of the be-
trothal is made.
The Duke Of the Abruzzi is expected
to meet Miss Elkins and her mother
and brother in Paris within ten days
to make arrangements for the formal
presentation of the Elkins family to
the Italian royal household.

Testing Primary Law in Hampshi

Concord, n. H, Sept. 6.-The first
effort to test the direct primary meth
Cd for selecting candidates for all state
offices is being tried by both republic
cans and democrats in New Hampshire
today. The principal contest was for
the republican nomination for governor
between Col Bertram E. Ellis, of Keen,
and Robert P. Bass, of Petersboro.
How many votes will be for the pro-
gressive candidates and how many for
the regulars is what is troubling the
leaders. Both sides claim the victory
From the public view point Senator
Robert Bass, the progressive candidate
for governor, appears to be the stronger
in the country districts while Betram
Ellis, the regular candidate, seems
stronger in the cities.
AS there is no contest in the demo-
cratic ranks the democratic vote is
expected to be small.

Vermont Is Votino.

White River Junction, VT Sept. g.
Vermont is today voting her choice of
governor, state officers. congressman.
and members of the legislature.
The average republican majority in
Vermont in off-years since 1870 is 49,
200. The republicans say they fear
party apathy more than democratic
antagonisrn and some Of the leaders
claim that if there is a decided drop
below the average it will be due to dis
satisfaction with the candidates rather
than to disaffection from the party
itself. National issues scarcely have
been mentioned on the stump.
Chairman Williams of the republican
state committee claims an average ma
jority for an off-year.
Chairman Harris of the democratic
state committee said the republican
majority Of $4,000 two years ago would
be cut to less than 10000 tomorrow
and that his party would make decisive
gains in both branches OF the leSisla-
ture.
The vote for the minor party candi-
dates never has been a prominent fac
tor in Vermont. The prohibition can
didate for governor this year is Edwin
3. Towle of Franklin. while Chester E.
Ordway of Proctor leads the socialist
ticket.
The democrats have made no effort
to supplant the two Vermont con-
gressmen, David J. Foster and Frank
Plumley, and as there are no indica-
tions of insurgency in the state it is
expected that both will be returned by
customary pluralities.
