county and defeating his leading op-
ponent, Judge Thomas Burke of
Seattle in Burke's own precinct, and
carrying Pierce county, the Tacoma"
home of the other ("regular') candi-
date, James NJ. Ashton, two insurg
ents were nominated for Congress, in
King county. William E. Humphrey,
a ''staDdpatter" and author of the
Humphrey ship subsidy BILL probably
was renominated, but by close mar
gin. In the second district Con-
gresham Mitcredi, owner of the Port
land Baseball Club, and "Standpat-
ter" was defeated by Stanton War
burton, insurgent, and in the third, or

cousin of Senator LaFollette, of Wis
consin, and an insurgent, was nomi-
mated

Arkansas Results.
Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 14.-The re-
turns show that the Republicans cap
tured one or two county offices in

show that the Democratic party has
made remarkable showing in Repub'

kansas, where the Republicans held
one or two offices. On the liquor ques-
. ton the returns show that Pulaski

several hundred votes. Ouachita coun
