GLORIOUS REPUBLICAN VICTORY

Several of the counties of Wester
Oregon completed their count yesterday
affording, with few estimates nc
| likely to be far wrong, pretty goo
idea Of the general result so far as the
are concerned. What progress was mad
in Eastern Oregon is still a matter o
some doubt, except as to Umatilla, tn
wires working badly. From the in
crease appearing in counties reporting
it seems probable that the prohibition
! strength and the missing preciI IS will
bring the total vote up to $4,000 1r more

ably incomplete on the vote for state
school superintendent, many places, as
in Multnomah county, having appar.
emily made no effort to tabulate this
vote. At the present showing Irwin
cannot have less than 10000 plurality
over Reid and the Eastern Oregon
counties, of which practically nothing is
known, ought to materially increase this
lead.
The vote of the first congressional dis
trict, as returned and estimated, will be
somewhat larger than was first sup
posed, and will probably increase Her.
maAn's plurality In the second district
nearly everything is conjecture. Colum-
bia county is the only one with complete
returns, Umatilla being nearly so. The
vote of Mulnomah county on congress-
'iiiAn is given for its supposed 10000
votes in the proportions obtaining in
the II 200 counted. In default of reports
from many Eastern Oregon counties,
the figures on congressman may have to
be revised considerably, as Ellis is not
given credit for the gains he should
make over the vote for Harrison in 1892
upon which the computations are based
The report of Cameron's Rep) de-
feat in Jackson is confirmed.
For the lower house, M. Davidson.
Pop, is returned by the completed count
from Columbia county, instead of Clee-
ton, Rep. This change is offset by the
election in Jackson county of George
Dunn, Rep, who was reported Tuesday
as defeated by Marksbury, Pop.
According to the official returns, sup
plemented by the most reliable esti-
mates, the counties of Baker, Coos,
jackson, Lake and Wallowa gave small
pluralities for Pierce, and the counties
of Crook and Harvey small plurali-
ties for Galloway. The remaining
counties of the state all went for Lord,
with majorities over both Pierce and
Galloway in Multnomah of 4,239. Marion
679, Washington 1928, small majorities in
Columbia, Klamath, Sherman and Was
co, and varying pluralities in the other
counties. In the first congressional dis
trict Hermann has a plurality over
Weatherford of 1O,557 and over Miller of
s, 1852. In the second, district Ellis plur-
allty ov( D2 and over
Raley s, perlntendent
of public -, WIN have a plur-
ality of over 11,11. Take it altogether,
the victory for the Republicans is more
sweeping than any of the so-called land
slides in the eastern states.
