CAL VOTERS
CORDOVA GIVES HERRON 23,
OR SKIDOO NUMBER OF VOTES,
AND ilS DEFEAT SEEMS SURE
In the territorial primary election
held yesterday the greatest interest
centered in the Republican contests
for national committeeman and dele
gates to the national convention at
t^fccago, and from the incomplete re
turns recevied up to this afternoon
McBride is leading Herron for com
mitteeman, while the race for dele
gates to the convention is close be
tween Hazelet, Reed and Valentine,
two of whom are to be elected.
Rustgard wins the attorney-general
t ship nomination by a good plurality.
Cordova and Eyak polled an un
usually large vote. 450 in the former
place and 164 in the latter precinct,
*
of which number about thirty Demo
cratic ballots were cast. Our towns
man Geo. C. Hazelet received 543
out of the 584 Republican votes cast
and he fully appreciates this endorse
ment by his friends and neighbors,
which is particularly gratifying in
view of the vicious attack made upon
his character by the Herron news
papers. Herron received but 23
votes in the two precincts, while
Jack McBride rolled up 505 votes
For attorney general John Rustgard
was the favorite by long odds. There
was no contest for the rest of the of
fices and as the Democrats had no
fight on in their party but a small
vote was gotten out. The result by
precincts follows:

WASHINGTON STATE DELEGATES
ARE INSTRUCTED TO SUPPORT
POINDEXTER FOR PRESIDENT
BELLINGHAM, Wash., April 28 (by
Associated Press).—Senator Poindex
ter, addressing the Republican state
convention here yesterday, said the
issues before the American people to
day were the maintenance of the in
dependence of the United States, the
freedom of labor and industry, and the
need for the Americanization of the
government.
He declared that an insidious and
powerful propaganda, backed by un
limited resources, had instilled into
the thoughts of many the subtle prin
ciple of internationalism.
By “the freedom of labor and indus
try” Senator Poindexter said he
meant the right of a workingman to
work and support his family Snd not
be denied employment because he be
longs or does not belong to a union,
and the right of employers to protec
tion under the law against violence
and intimidation.
DELEGATES FOR POINDEXTER
The convention selected tfen dis
trict delegates and four delegates atj
large to the national convention, in-1
structed to loyally use all means in j
their power to secure the nomination j
and election of Senator Miles Poin-!
dexter for President. The delegates j
are not bound to any candidates for |
second choice, but the supporters of j
General Leonard Wood assert that j
twelve of the fourteen will support j
him. One is avowedly for Hoover, and !
the preference of the other is un
known.
Guy Kelley of Tacoma was chosen
to succeed S. A. Perkins as national
committeeman.
THE PLATFORM
The platform calls for the eradica
tion from the schools of agnostic, ma
terialistic and Socialistic teachers, and
urges the passage of a criminal syn
dicalism act and its rigid enforcement.
The work of the war risk insurance
board is denounced, and opposition is
expressed to the League of Nations un
less reservations are included for the
full protection of American sover
eignty.
With reference to Mexico, the plat
form demands the protection of Ameri
cans in that country, and condemns
the Mexican policy of the administra
tion.
Uncompromising opposition to so
cialism is declared, and the spirit of
Americanism shown by dabor during
the war is commended. Autocracy
either of labor or capital is denounced.
The adoption of a budget system,
the repeal of the Underwood tariff
law, the enactment of a protective
tariff, the adoption of universal mili
tary training, and the passage of
stricter naturalization laws are urged,
and the state legislature is commended
for the adoption of a bonus for sol
diers.
The convention voted down a pro
posal to call an advisory state conven
tion in July to recommend state can
didates where contests occur.
MASSACHUSETTS UNPLEDGED
