DEMOCRATS DEFEAT HUM
 PHREY.

The defeat of Representative Humphrey is credited largely to Se- attle Democrats who resented his abuse of the President, and, hav- ing few contests of their own, went into the Republican booths where they were able to strike back by voting as Republicans against him.
 Poindexter's managers place his plurality at 1000.

 Gov. Ernest Lister has been renom- mated by the Democrats and former Senator George Turner for Senator Their nominations are conceded.
 SEATTLE. Sept. 18.-At 2:9O O. clock this afternoon the indications are that the Republicans of the State have renominated Senator Miles Poindexter, defeating Repre- sentative W. E. Humphrey by from 1000 to 10000.
 Former Gov Henry Mcbride has apparently been nominated for Gov ernor with former Mayor Hartley, of Everett, running second.
 Former Mayor John F. Miller has apparently been nominated for Congressman, with State Senator Daniel Landon second and John F. Ballaine third.
 John Stringer has been nomin- ated for Sheriff of King County and Alfred Lundin for prosecuting at tomey.
 ORGANIZATION SHATTERED.
 The regular Republican organiza- ton slate, which contained the names of Humphrey off Senator George A. Lee for Governor and w. M. Whitney for Congressman, has been completely shattered.
 From present indications Senator Poindexter has been nominated on the first choice votes by a plural ity over Humphrey that might ex- ceed 10000. and that he has re- ceiyed more than the 40 per cent of the votes that are necessary to exclude the second choice votes. If he should fail to receive 40 percent of the first choice votes, and it shall be necessary to count the second choice votes, Humphrey will be third in the race. and the contest will be between Poindexter and Dr. Enoch A. Bryan, former President of the Washington State College.
 Poindexter Leads in Seattle.
 With returns complete from Il oi the S9I precincts of King County Senator Poindexter is leading Hum phrey in both the city of Seattle and the country precincts The in dications are that Humphrey and Poindexter ran about even in that western part of the State and thai Poindexter will win by whatever his plurality in the eastern part oI the State might be. This would give him a plurality of from 3OOC to 10000 and possibly more. At this hour it looks like strictly firsi choice contest between Poindextei and Humphrey

British Public Supports Gov
ernnenlal Policy Of Dicta-
tership Regarding Distri
button Of Food Slufs

London. Nov. i6.--England is q
unit today In the support Of the gov
erninent's food dictatorship plan.
Not newspaper or an individual ap-
parently In the whole United King
dom voiced criticism OF the plan an
nounced In parliament yesterday by
Walter Runciman contemplating con-
servation OF England's food supply.
The only criticisms heard were that
the government control had been
overlong delayed, and the prelimin-
ary plans as announced were insult
hciently sweeping or drastic.
II is known, however. that Runci-
mans announcement was purely pre-
liminary and that he did not reveal
all the steps Of control which the
government has determined upon.
The food dictatorship. II was said.
may eventually outdo even the thor
oughness Of the German system.
The British people are fully pre-
pared for the sacrifices which II Is
realized will be consequent upon the
adoption Of the new plan In n few
days. tf'
II was accepted here that the tirst
activities Of the new dictatorship
would have to do with limitation Of
the use OF sugar In costly confection-
cry. OF indiscriminate feeding TO ami
mails OF vegetables suitable for hu-
man consumption and OF wasteful
use Of white -four and potatoes.
Retail food prices. according to
semi-official statistics available to-
day. show that In year there has
been an increase Of about 81 per
cent. Prices are now about 7S per
cent higher than they we're prior to
the war. But on such staples as
eggs. potatoes, nsh and sugar the
prices have nearly doubled. Fl

II Is the view OF some Of the presi-

to abide by the provisions OF the act.
This belief Is strengthened by the

 Redwood gave out statement to the Engineering Record" Aug. 1, that the dam would be completed August s, having been begun on July 27. This was to apprise the engineers of the world that he had curbed the mighty Colorado in just one week. Like near ly all other statements he has given out relative to engineering work, this last one shows that he was just about as near correct as in former state ments, for the dam instead of being completed in week is not yet com pleted, and this is August IS, and in all human probability the dam will not be completed within the next two weeks, which means over a month in- stead of a week.
