WOMEN VOTERS ARE INACTIVE
Make Poor Showing in the Num-
Der Of Votes Cast

San Francisco Cal, sept. 4.-YeS-
terdays primary election assured the
Roosevelt-J ohnson organization con-
troll of the state convention that is
to be composed of Legislative nomi-
nees This means that Republican
electors pledged to Roosevelt will be
named by the convention and go on
the official ballot as Republican.
Much interest centers in the con-
gressional fight i'm which the Progress
ives apparently carried the majority
of the eleven districts. Contests
among the. Democrats resulted in sub
stantial victories for the Wilson forces
over tire old Clark element The vote
was light. particularly in the north
ern half of the state.
In San Francisco, out of a regis
tration OF $4,000 only $1,000 ballots
were cast. The women especially were
inactive.
In local contests for superior judge
ships Miss Lucy Goode White, a So
cialist newspaper writer, was NOM
mated. Grove l.. ohnson, father Of
Governor johnson, appears to have
been beaten for nomination to the
assembly by Progressive candidate.

The failure of the Republican candi-
date for governor to OBTAIN majority
for the first time in the history of
the state in an election preceding a

publicans will have substantial ma
jority IN the Legislature.
The strength of the Progressives
was the feature of the election. The
Democrats also increased their vote
