DEMOCRATS HAVE THE CONTESTS Republican Primaries Con- ducted’ Without Stress, but Rivals Are Unsettled ‘I{ESI'LT IN INTERIOR ———— Expectations of a Candidate | for the Presidency Suffer Severely in Los Angeles —_— Spectal Dispatch to The Call LOS ANGELES, May 3.—At the pri- mary election to-day, the first held here under the new election law, there was not a ripple of excitement, not a con- | test in the Republican camp. The cau- cus nominees were chosen in every dis- trict and an extremely light vote was polled What of excitement was lacking in | the Republican ranks was more than meade up by the Democrats. The Hearst managers had been claiming a solid delegation for Hearst to the Santa Cruz convention and they had the temerity | td"assert that certain prominent Demo- crats could not go as delegates because they refused to support Hearst. inent among those placed under the ban were Hon. I. B. Dockweiler, late candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and former Assemblyman Frank Finlayson. , Eddie Morris and Tom MeCaffery were also left out, but they refused to stay left out. In every district a ticket in opposi- tion to the caucus tickets was put up and all day the fight was waged. The result was amazing to the Hearst peo- ple, for not an officer of the regular Democratic County Committee was elected. Dockweiler won out and, in- stead of sending a solid Hearst dele- gation to Santa Cruz, the Los Angeles contingent will be divided about as fol- For Hears ; anti-Hearst, 11: doubtful, 4. Dockweiler declares he will from the floor of the convention remind the Democrats of the State that Hearst bolted the Lane ticket two years.ago and that he is now preparing to bolt the coming national Democratic ticket because his nomination is not within the range of possibilities. PRIMARIES IN FRESNO. FRESNO, May 3.—In the primaries to-day for the choosing ef delegates to | the Democratic State Convention Hearst nominees won out the city: The vote cast was fair- Iy heavy for a primary. From the Six- tieth District Thomas E. Collins, J. H. Hillman, G. W. Smith and Dante R. Prince were elected; from the Sixt, first, Henry Brinkley, A. D. Giger, D. S. Ewing and George W. Cartwright. The men who were running on the “uninstructed” ticket were E. D. Ed- wards, G. B. Graham, W. G. Bar- num and Charles McCardle from the Sixtieth and W. H. McKenzie, W. D. Crichton, M. K. Harris and M. >. Williams from the Sixty-first. There was but one ticket before the Republicans and it was elected, follows: From the Sixtieth—George Cosgrave, A. E. Snow, C. W, Chaun- from the Sixty-first—S. L. Hogue, A. M. Drew, Truman Hart and Frank H. Short. STOCKTON, May 3.—The Hearst forces made a feeble attempt to defeat the regular Democratic nominations for delegates to the State convention in the primary election to-day. but cast only fifty-six votes for their highest candidate against 133 for the lowest candidate on the regular ticket. The opposition was not en:- made to get out a big vote on their The nine delegates from Stoekton are against Hearst and of the eight delegates from the outside or Twenty- fourth Assembly District, he has five delegates, which is his full strength in a delegation of seventeen represent- ing the county. The total Democratic vote in the city is 1800 and the vote brought out to-day was only 189. There was no opposition to the Re- | publican delegates and the vote was | light. DELEGATES IN HUMBOLDT.

Louis convention. ! | | | The first election in May, as an ini- tial proceeding under section 1373 of the primary election law, for the se- lection of delegates to a natiomal con- vention, was held in San Francisco yesterday. The total number of votes cast was 9370, of which the Republi- cans polled 6705 and the Democrats 2647. There were 11 votes for the Pro- hibition ticket and 7 scattering. In the Thirty-ninth Assembly Dis- trict, where three Republican tickets were in the field, the ticket of the Unit- ed Republican League, headed by R. H. Countryman, won out, receiving 527 votes. The Citizens’ Independent Re- publican ticket, headed by Wallace Bradford, received 212 votes, and the ticket headed by George W. Turner 160 votes. There was a little contest in the Democratic ranks of the Thirty-sixth District. The county committee ticket won out by a narrow margin, securing 114 votes against 109 for the opposition. The managers of Hearst’s candidacy deemed it advisable to offer no objec- tion to the delegates proposed by the Democratic County Committee. The feeling of indifference as to the out- come of the contest is signified by the light Democratic vote. Delegates to the Fourth Congres- sional District Republican Convention, as well as delegates to the Republican | State Convention at Sacramento and | the Demochatic State Convention at Santa Cruz were chosen.

WASHINGTON, May 3.—Charges of “brutal and tyrannical conduct” have been preferred at the War De- partment against Colonel Albert L. Mills, superintendent of the United States Military Academy at Point, by Captain John P. Walker, | | | | | | | in Washington. Captain Walker recites that he was harshly treated by Colonel Mills while visiting~ West Point. Colonel | Mills, to whom the charges were for- | warded, has replied stating that considers his drastic treatment of Captain Walker thoroughly merited by the latter's conduct toward a lady | at West Point. At the War Department it was said | this afternoon that Captain Walker’s charges were “flighty”; that they in no ‘way reflected upon Colonel Mills’ character. Captain Walker has hitherto had several controversies with officials in Washington. He has been on the re- tired list for many years. ——e————— Democratic Mayor in St. Paul. ST. PAUL, May 3.—Robert A.
