The official primary returns from the state of Washington
raise either two Prescriptions. The Democratic party
has become sadly depleted in that state in four years. or else
many Democrats temporarily soouTnng within the Re-
publican ranks for the purpore of interfering Republican
nominations Either presumption that need couse the
loyal Democrats heart to swell with pride.
The number of Republicans and Democrats who went to M
polls lacked only two three thousand of the number mem
bers of those parties and of Progressves who voted the
general election for president in 1912 Yet whereas Wash
ington gave Mr. Wilson total vote of $780, the party
mustered only 34970 in the recent primaries.
On the other hand Taft and Roosevelt poed total 1884,
143 in 1912 and the reunited Republican party poed the other
day, total of 214,66O.
Whence the gain of 10000 Republican votes! What
caused the Democratic loss of $4,000!
The population of Washington has admittedly increased
in the four years. but comparison of the primary vote with the
and congressional totals of two years ago makes better
showing for the Democrats to diminished numbers loss
of honor the may be.
Compared with the 1914 vote for Governor the primaries
dictate loss of 900 Democratic votes and Republican gain
of 100000 Compared with the vote of 1914 for Representative
in Congress- the primary returns indicate Democratic loss Of
81 900 and Republican gain of 20000

 Secretary Baker announced the de- cision to draw upon the coast artillery, virtually the only available regular troops left north of the border, after a conference at the war department late tonight. He said the eleven com panies would be drawn from all along the coast, from Galveston to Delaware, so that no post would be left without a sufficient garrison.
 The secretary also formally an ! nounced the orders for the movement to San Antonio of the five batteries of the 5th field artillery at Fort Sill, Okla , He said three batteries of the 3rd field artillery at Tobyhanna, Pa, had been ordered held in readiness for border ] service if necessary.
