Another Insurgent Victory.

San Francisco, Aug. 17.-Hiram W.
Johnson, inSurgent, nominated by the
republicans for governor; two insur-
gent republicans nominated for Con-
yrcS; John w. Works probably en-
dorscd by the republicans for United
States senator; and Theodore A. Bell
nominated for governor by the demo-
Gratis.
This is the general result Of the first
statewide primaries in CALIFORNIA; his
tory, marking one of the most sweep
ing victories for insurgency in It's brief
existence and what California insur-
gents declare is the bitterest defeat the
old southern Pacific republican ma
chine has ever sustained.
Returns received up to an early hour
today remove all doubt OF Johnson
nominations but it is difficult to esti-
mate his plurality. His managers say
anywhere between 10000 and 10000,
and that the insurgent candidate for
governor has carried every county in
the state with the possible exception OF
San Francisco county.
