ont the list. with five exceptions, the
Lincoln Roosevelt ticket scored a re-

LEAGUE LOSES FIVE PLACES
The league has lost five and possibly
six important nominations, however
four of which cannot possibly be saved
by the returns yet to come, but two
of which may, if the vote has been
heavy in the unreported precincts, go
to the league candidates.
J. D. Fredericks, the machine Repup-
lican and mainstay of the Southern Pa
cific political push" has received the
Republican nomination for reelection
by more than 5000 votes.
The real battle of the campaign, now
ever, is now to be fought out between
the good government non-partisan
forces, who will back the Democratic
nominee-Thomas Lee Woolwine-for
the general election against the in
cumbent, nominated by the machine.
Sheriff Hammel, regular Republican,
also has received the nomination, as
stated in The Herald yesterday morn
ing. He leads De La Monte, the league
candidate, by more than 1000.
The incomplete returns give the
nomination to the machine incumbent,
Dow, by a margin of more than 1000.
The Lincoln Roosevelt league, how
ever, will not concede Lewis defeat
until all the returns have been re-
ceived, which should be some time to-
day.
County Tax Collector Welch has tri-
umphed over the league candidate,
Swartwout. as announced yesterday.
WEIGH leads Johnson two to one, ana
is 1000 votes ahead of Swartwout.
The Lincoln Roosevelt league last
night practically conceded the election
of Bryson, machine candidate for pub
lie administrator, although he has
small lead, and f!orton, the league can
didate, has many friends in some of
the more important precincts yet to
be heard from. At midnight last night
the returns gave Bryson 1870 and
Norton 14.408.
Lyons, the machine candidate for the
assembly in the Seventy-third district,
has also been nominated but by a mar
row margin. The incumbent, the no
torious Jake Transue, ran a poor
third and Sanders came second within
300 votes.
CATTEIL WINS FOR ASSEMBLY
Cattell has been renominated in the
Sixty-seventh assembly district by a
large plurality.
Cogswell of course, was nominated
in the Sixty-eighth, because he ran
without opposition.
HinshaW, the league candidate. leads
in the Sixty-ninth by 700.
Butler is nominated in the Seventeen
by 1000.
Brodeen the machine candidate, had a
close race, neck and neck during the
compilation of returns all day yester-
day, but the finals put Farwell IN the
lead with 1866 votes against Brodeens
1921. Pittner received only 224 votes.
Benedict is nominated in the Seventy
second by more than 300.
Lyons, the machine candidate, as
stated, wins in the Seventy-third by
about 300.
Randall is nominated by about 200 in
the Seventy fourth.
DIR. Lamb wins in the Seventy-fifth
by an extremely narrow margin-less
than twelve votes.
In fact, the league has nominated
every assembly candidate excepting
LYONS. But, the league members say,
this is because the good government
energies were directed to defeat Tran
sue. and Lyons, while machine man..
is regarded as preferable to Transue,
but had the same fight ben made on
LYONS that. was made on Transue the
league candidate, Saunders, would
have received the nomination.
Hewitt received the Republican nomi-
nation over Mccartney and Sanders
for the state. senate in the Thirty
eighth district. The league regards
this victory as one of the most inn
rNf oil
against 1882 received by Mccartney
the machine candidate, and 1888 re-
ceived by Sanders, the regular.
COMPLETE RoUT OF ELDRIDGE
"Tus" Eldridge is completely
swamped in the third supervisoria
district. the Lincoln Roosevelt league
candidate, Butler, wrestling the Repub-
lican nomination from him by almost
two to one.
The race for coroner has been the
closest and the most difficult to deter
mine of all the Republican contests
DR.. Gibbons, the league candidate, al
midnight last night having 1850 votes
and Hartwell, the incumbent, 14S3S
Not until the last county precinct has
reported will the outcome of this con
test be definitely decided.
The Democratic county central COM
IIllILS6 dlSO iCPOAbSN J~oNSANOS
had won the only two contests involved
in the Democratic primaries by a re-
markable majority, Enoch Hidden haV'
ing been defeated by almost two tc
one. and "Muggins" Mcdonald passing
into political oblivion. AS an example
of Hidden's showing in the thirt
sI1peryisorial district, he received but
ia votes in "a out of AZ precincts
while these same precincts, which gave
the bulk of the vote, nominated Mans
field by 272. Mcdonald was defeated
in his home precinct by almost two t.
one. and in the majority of the pre-.
cincts in the thirty-eighth senatorial
district. where he made his race, was
defeated by vote of three to one, In
some precincts running as high as foul
and one-half to one.
Gavin Craig. 1t will be seen, ran con-
siderably ahead OF the judiciary ticket
and surprised his most intimate friends
Judge Melvin received only about one
half of the votes received by Craig.
With the exceptions stated, the en-
fire lincoln Roosevelt ticket was nom
mated and the pluralities given by the
900 nrecincts out Of the total 400 will
he seen to run about as predicted yes
terday.
