POINDEXTER'S
BIG VICTORY
Stand-PatterS in the State Of
Washington Routed by
Insurgents
CANNON CONGRESSMEN
GO DOWN In DEFEAT

BY United Press Lease Special Wire.
SEATTLE, Wash, Sept 14.-Riding
serenely on top Of an insurgent land
slide, Miles Poindexter swamped his
standpat opponents in the statewide
primary held here yesterday for the
selection of a United States senator.
Comprehensive returns from all sec
tions of the state early today indicate
thai POindexter's plurality over Thom-
as Burke and J. Ashton his regular
oppOnets, will exceed $4,000, much
larger plurality than was ever claimed
by his campign managers.
The result is looked on by all Re
publicans both of the regular and in
surgent factions. as especially inter-
esting because of the factor the ma
tional administration had made itself
in the contest. The issue between
Poindexter and President Taft was
clearly drawn ten days ago when the
! latter requested former Senator John
Wilson to withdraw from the race in
order to concentrate the standpat
strength aginst Poindexter.
Wilson declared he retired at the di-
| rect request of the President.
The indications today are that the
! insurgents have ~carried every other
county in the state. also every con
! gressiOnal district and the state legis-
lature. In the Tacoma district. Con
/ gressmau McCredie has been defeat
ed by Warburton, radical insurgent.
Congressman Humphreys. of the Seat
tie district, who championed the shin
subsidy bill, has been defeated by
Thomas p. Revelle, insurgent. An in
surgent Republican has also been
nominated in the Spokane district ia
succeed Poindexter in the lower house
Poindexter's friends are jubilant and
predict that the Washington result
will go far toward swinging other Pa.
cific coast and northwestern states in.
to the insurgent column.
PoindeXter was regarded as the
most radicl of the insurgents in Con.
gress. and the standpatters concen.
trated their efforts to defeat him
Poindexter called into the fight Victor
Murdock, of Kansas, and other insur
gents.

New Castle Delegates
Lined Up Against Mr..
Salisbury of Kenf---
MiIIard F. Davis for
Treasurer and w. H.
Walker for Auditor

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, Sept. 14-There wasn't
much enthusiasm among the Demo-
Gratis who left late yesterday after
noon after they had nominated the
following ticket in their State con-
vention: For Representative in
Congress. Robert c. White, OF George
town; for State treasurer, Millard +.
Davis. of Wilmington; for State audi
tor, William II. Walker, of Dover. The
Dem 1cratic leaders and many of the
delegates realized that a condition
had arisen over the Congressional
nomination that was sure TO leave
bad feeling throughout the campaign.
The way William Salisbury, of Dover,
who was Kent county's choice for
Congress, was over-ridden by the New
Castle and Sussex delegates, was not
expected to leave a harmonious feel
ing. Neither was the way I'm which
the wet" delegates we're lined up
against Mr.. Salisbury because of his
activities as a leader of the anti
license forces in Kent county inclined
TO promote party peace. The Con-
gressional nomination has not been
given to Kent county for ten years
and now 1t has to wait two more
years because the man put forward
by the Kent delegates for the nomi-
nation was dry" and was not pleas
ing to the delegates from New Cas-
tie county friendly to the liquor in
terests, who worked all of Monday
night and clear up to the convention
hour yesterday against the candidacy
of Mr.. Salisbury. New Castle county
delegates held the balance Of power
and swung it against Salisbury and
for White, the latter being a pro-
nounced wet" man in sentiment.
Who the Candidates Are.
Mr. Davis, the nominee for State
treasurer. is a well-known jeweler Of
Wilmington, and two years ago was
prominently spoken of for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor. Mr..
Walker, the nominee for State audi
tor. is a resident of Dover a brother
in-law of United States Senator Harry
A. Richardson and manager of the
big packing plant of the Richardson
and Robbins Company. Mr.. White
the nominee for Congressman, is a
resident Of Georgetown, a well-knowu
lawyer and at one time was attorney
general of the State He prosecuted
the famous Botkin case in San Fran
cisco, growing out of the poisoning
of two Dover residents.
AS was predicted early yesterday
afternoon, the opening of the conYen-
tion found big fight in prospect
