INSURGENCY WON GREAT
VICTORY IN CALIFORNIA
Hiram Johnson Nominated by the Republicans for Gov
by Not Less Than 10000 Kent and Stevens
Successful Over Stalwarts = Insurgent Works Has
Big Lead for United States Senator

San Francisco, Aug. 17.-Returns
coming in slowly from all parts of
the state seem to add to the COM
pleteness of the victory scored in yes
terday's primaries by the Lincoln
Roosevelt league, as the insurgent
faction is designated. The estimated
plurality of Hiram Johnson, its can
didate for governor, will be not less
than 10000. Mckinley and McLach-
Ian, stalwarts, both appear to be de-
feated in their districts for congress-
men.
William E. Kent, for whom Pin
chot stumped the Second district,
leads Mckinley by safe margin,
while w. d. Stephens has a similar
lead over McLachlan in the Seventh.
Hayes, insurgent, in the Fifth, has
been renominated, but Engle Bright
and Smith, regulars, appear to have
been renominated in the First and
Eighth districts. In the other dis
tricts the stalwarts were not opposed.
Incomplete figures on the advisory
vote for United States senator to sue
coed Flint, puts John d. Works, Lin
coln-Roosevelt, in the lead.
Among Johnson's callers was
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. The victory
is taken as severe rebuke to the
national administration and the
domination of the Southern Pacific
railroad

Olympia, Aug. 1.-Two would-be
candidates for office from Twisp,
Okanogan county, were ruled out
today by the secretary of state for
being too late.
Claude F. Burton, candidate for
superior judge, got his declaration
through by wire all right, but the
filing fee failed to arrive, so he does
not go on the ballot. Under date
of August Is, George Goode wired
declaration of candidacy as congress
man for the Third district.
He also wired to file the declara-
ton and stand pat until the money
arrived, but he started too late, the
18th being the final date for filings.

Beverly Hears News.

Beverly, Mass, Aug. 17.-Bever-
ly was upset when news came from
New York of the defeat of Theodore
Roosevelt for temporary chairman
of the New York republican state
convention.
The fact that Lloyd c. Griscom,
chairman of the New York county
committee, had been in conference
with President Taft Saturday night
and Sunday added to the consterna-
ton that the dispatches created.
Mr.. Taft made no comment for
publication.
There is nothing to indicate that
he knew OF Mr.. Griscoms plan to
force a vote on Mr.. Roosevelt's
name.
So far as can be learned, Mr..
Griscom's talk with the president
had to do solely with the general
situation in New York state, and Mr..
Taft took the ground that harmony
ought to be brought about If posi-
bic before the Saratoga convention.
The story that Mr.. Griscom took a
message to Col Roosevelt that
would affect the future relations be-
tween Mr.. Roosevelt and the presi-
dent is discredited in Beverly. Mr.
Taft assumed the attitude that any
overtures, if they be necessary,
must come from the other side"

FLOODED By BREAK
IN MAIN
Torrent Rushes Down Pa
louise From Corner
of Douglas.

While sewer was being placed
under a water main in ditch at the
Icorner of PalOuse and Douglas
streets this afternoon, connection
in the water main was broken loose,
II made a ten-inch opening, and in
stantly torrent of water broke
loose.
A small river was soon tearing its
way down Palouse street to Cheian.
The sewer ditch was filled in a few
moments. The stream then divided,
part going on down to Wenatchee
avenue, but the larger part rushing
into the excavation made last winter
for the Ellis-Forde building which
was planned to be erected on Mission
street. The stone wall caved in and
a small lake soon formed.
Mayor Gellatly went up to the res
ervoir and turned off the water from
the main. Pat Sherburne, water
commissioner, is out of town No
serious damage has been caused and
repair of the breach is only a matter
of an hours work when the ditch has
been drained.
The water rushed into the back
end of the G.. F. Fry shoe store, dam
aging considerable of the stock and
covering the floor with dirt and de-
bris, entailing considerable damage.
Water also flooded the back end of
the Hile barber shop and Mooney &
Co. real estate office, but no
damage was done there

COL. ROOSEVELI'S DEFEAT
IS SENSATION Of EAST
His Key Note Speech Was to Have Helped Right Kind
of Men on Clean Cut Progressive Platform State
Wide Struggle to Follow for Control of Convention
of September 27-Old Guard to Fight Him.

New York, Aug 1.-THE defeat yesterday Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt for temporary chairman of the state
venton by the old guard the political sensation of the
Vice President Sherman selected for the honor
by the state committee by vote of 20 to ID.
This is Col Roosevets second defeat at the hands of
the old guard the first having been the legislature s
refusal pass the Cobb direct primary bill, although
Mr. Roosevelt had especially endorsed it. With his set
back yesterday prospects for harmony within the party
in New York received severe jolt, and Col.
Roosevelt heard the news he issued statement in
which he enrolled himself progressive, far the
New York situation goes.
Signs of Long Fight

return, and those who saw him convinced that he
had determined to begin open fight the 'old
guard"

Harmony Was Hoped For.

Col. Roosevelt had planned to
keep in the background as much as
possible in the coming campaign.
It was only when he perceived the
turn of political affairs that he con-
scented to the use of his name in con-
nection with the temporary chair
manship. Both he and Chairman
Woodruff have expressed their hope
for a harmonious settlement of the
differences between the progressives
and the "old guard" but there was
no harmony talk among politicians
today. Both sides were agreed that
the action of the committee yester-
day had no connection with nation
al politics.
While there were some who said
Mr. Sherman's acquiescence in the
committees action might be inter.
preted as an evidence of friction be-
tween Col. Roosevelt and the ma
tional administration, this view was
not generally accepted.
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1910-08-17
Signs of Long Fight.

Yesterday S reputation does not
necessarily mean that Roosevelt will
not be temporary chairman after all.
The convention delegates themselves
will decide who is to open the meet
ing and deliver the keynote speech
but the state committees recommen-
dation of Mr.. Sherman for the place
served notice on the eX-president and
his supporters that the "old guard"
would fight him to the end.
Primary Struggle FOrecasted.
In the interval between now and
September 27 it is expected the
struggle between the organization
and the Roosevelt-Hughes forces
will be carried into every corner of
the state, and that the chief issue
will be at the primaries for the cleo
ton OF Roosevelt or anti-Roosevelt
delegates to the convention.
Whether Mr.. Sherman lent his
support to the movement which re-
not been established definitely.
William Ward, of Rochester, ma
tional committeeman, who was one
of the leaders in the Roosevelt COM
bine, is quoted as having said that
Mr.. Sherman knew all about the
plans to indorse him for temporary
chairman. Others who took part in
yesterdays meeting were of the
opinion that Mr.. Sherman knew
nothing of it.
He Was Willing.
AS far as Col. Roosevelt is con-
cerned, it has been known for some
time that he was agreeably inclined
to the plan to make him temporary
chairman, as is shown by his state
ment of today. He said, however.
that he had not understood that his
name was to be brought up at the
meeting. The statement follows:
ITO various persons who asked
me whether l would accept the posi-
ton of temporary chairman of the
state convention, / said that l would
do so only if they were sure, after
knowing my attitude, that they de-
sired me, because my speech would
be of such character that it might
help, if the committee named the
Iii Of on q
progressive platform; but that it
would hurt if neither the right kind
of man were named nor the right
kind of a platform adopted"
Griscom Thinks Honor Due.
Lloyd c. Griscom, chairman of the
county committee, who presented
the colonels name, said this morn
ing:
L do not know whether todays
action by the committee will have
any effect on Mr.. Roosevelt's atti-
tude during the state campaign. Mr..
Roosevelt is to be delegate to the
state convention. 1t seems to me
that, as the only living eX-president
of the United States, the party in
mis- state owes him at least the tenn
porary craftsmanship.
Mr.. Taft, so far as l know, did
not anticipate that Col. Roosevelt's
name would be presented to the
committee If he had known he
would have prevented the action
that was taken. The selection of
Vice President Sherman cannot be
construed as an Endorsement of the
Taft administration, which needed
no such Endorsement.
He Laughs Over 1t.

Mr. Ward after the meeting. The

he said to the national committee
man is that he laughed and told him
he understood now why Mr.. Ward
and other members of the state COM
mittee were not anxious to meet him
until after today's meeting
Mr.. Barnes Failed to See Him.
Mr.. Barnes was to have gone to
see Col. Roosevelt on his return
from abroad, but although he came
back three weeks ago, he had not
been near the ex-president until to-
day, when he dropped in at the
hotel where Col. Roosevelt and Mr..
Ward were at luncheon.
Mr.. Barnes said that if only on
the question of direct nomination
alone, he would oppose Col. Roose-
welt for the temporary chairman
ship.
Representative John Dwight, re-
publican whip of the house, also saw
Col Roosevelt at luncheon. He did
not care to discuss their converse

shoemaking was remunerative occu-
