ballot.
The Taft leaders to get their ele
tors on the ballot will be forced to r,
sort to petitions.
San Francisco and Los Angelo
rolled up a heavy vote for the Pre-
gressive candidates.
Much interest centers in the Coz
gressional fight in which the Progress
sives apparently carried majorit
of the eleven districts Early toda
appeared to be as follows:
First district, E. A. Hart, Progress
sive.
Second district, f. NJ Rutherford
Progressive.
Third district, Chas. F. Curry, re
publican.
Fourth district, julius Kahn, reput
lican
Fifth district, John I. Nolan, Pro
gressive
Sixth district, J. r. Knowland, re
publican.
Seventh district, James C. Need
| nam, repuDllcan.
Eighth district, E. A. Hayes, repub
Lean.
Eleventh district, S. E. Evans, re
publican
Ninth district, c. w. Bell, Progress
sive.
Tenth district, w. D. Stephens, Pro
gressive.
Contests among democrats result
ed in substantial victories for the
Wilson forces over the old Clark ele
ment championed by former Con
gressman Theo. Bell
The vote yesterday was light, par
ticularly in the northern half of the
state. In San Francisco out of q total
registration of $4,000 only $4,000
ballots were cast.
Women especially We're inactive
with the exception of the leaders who
enthusiastically helped with the vot-
ing booths and were complimented by
the register on the efficiency of their
work. Light rains in the rural dis
tricts kept many farmers away from
the polls.
Complete returns for San Francisco
show that Roosevelt and Johnson
swept this city.
In the two congressional districts,
(40th and 50th) Taft supporters re-
turned one nominee-Julius Kahn, in
cumbent from the 10th district; in
three state senate districts Taft got
one; in the thirteen assembly districts
he got one. On the county commit
tee Taft will have a representation
OF three out of thirteen members.
On the democratic ticket, which
carried a very much lighter vote, the
Phelan (Wilson) candidates defeated
every Dewitt (BelD candidate they
opposed except in the thirty second
assembly district. Four Dewitt de-
mocrats were opposed.
The decisive manner in which
Roosevelt and Johnson swept the
state for the second time this year
insures that the nominating conven-
tion to be held in Sacramento this
month will return electors pledged to
Roosevelt as the republican electors
of California The general primary
law provides, however, that any can
didates for Office may find place on
the ballot by petition if he obtains
constituting a stated per-
centage of the total vote. In the case
of presidential electors, the attorney
general recently gave an opinion that
their petitions must bear the sigma
lures of three per cent of the total
vote cast throughout the state in
the last general elction.

days primary election, do not change

nation on the ticket over Adolph J.

OHIO TURNS DOWN WOMEN.
Columbus, O., Sept. Additional
returns from yesterdays special cleo
ton on the amendments to Ohio's
today confirmed the early
Indications that all of the AZ amend /
nents were ratified, with the excep-
ton of that providing for equal suf-
frage and possibly good roads. The
'uffragists today intimated that the
initiative and referendum, which
passed by big majority, will be used |
n an attempt to give votes to women.
Another surprise was the compar-
atively light vote on the liquor IL !
,ense amendment which, in the larger
titles, ran from ten to fifteen per cent
behind the vote on other principal
MISSOURI coNGRATULATEs.
