Returns on the Legislative Tickets
Fairly Complete.
According to The election returns re-
ceived I'D to late hour last night, Ore |
gon has elected two populist cong essmen.
In the first district complete returns
have been received from every county |
except Curry. VandeEburg, populist,
has plurality of 422 over Tongue. In
Curry county there are only about 500
votes, and at the last election the repub.
lican ticket received about 100 plurality.
1t is probable that the republicans will
poll as heavy vote as they did two
years ago, SO Vanderburg is without
doubt elected. In the second district
Quinn, populist, has 400 plurality over
Ellis, republican, with Grant, Harney
and Malheur counties yet to hear from.
Two years ago Grant gave the republic
can ticket 800 plurality. Malheur went
republican by 80, and Harney democra'
tic by 40. According TO the way his vote
has been running in this district, Quinn
should have plurality in Harney and
Malheur.
The count in Portland is not yet com.
plete. 1t is known, however, that the
republicans elected every officer on the
county ticket and all the city officers ex-
cept the mayor and two councilmen.
Three regular republican state senators
are elected and one Mitchell republican.
The regular republicans elected elk
representatives and the Mitchell republi-
| cans three.
The returns give Quinn 463 plurality
over Ellis, with Grant, Harney and NAL
| heur to hear from. II they give the
same vote as two years ago Quinn will
have 100 plurality. In the first district
complete returns with the exception oil
Curry county give Vanderberg plurality
Of 422. Curry county will probably cut
this down to 300. Bean for Judge will
have 10000 plurality. In this county
| Simon probably elected three ont OF four
senators and six out Of nine representa-
tives.
The indications are, from incomplete
returns in the first congressional district
in Oregon, that Tongue has been beaten
by small plurality, probably 200 or 300.
On the joint ballot the legislature stands:
Republicans, 56; populists, IL; demo.
Gratis, 8: union bimetallic, g.; Mitchell
republicans, 3.
CLACKAMAs COUNTY.
| 1A0 AuLl OlQCbtJu 1ObuAub AOu phAI
county show the result to have been q
more complete populist victory than was
claimed last night. Vanderburg received
558 plurality over Thomas Tongue for
congress, and CASTOR lead Bean 35l votes
for the supreme judgeship. Cleeton for
district attorney, leaves this county with
292 votes less than Smith The three
populist candidates for the legislature
were elected by plurslities OF about 900
each For sheriff, E. O. Maddox, who
stood for reelection, lacks 8l0 OF having
as many votes as &. w. Grace, and for
county clerk, Dixon wins over Meldrum
by plurality of 1858. StarkweatheI
wins the school superintendency from
Strange by plurality of only 60, and
Kinnaird lacks 32 votes of re election to
the county suryeyorship. These returns
are, of course, unofficial, and it is pos
sible that the official count may make
slight changes. The democratic strength
was only about 600. Everything is pop
ulist with the exception of an occasional
constable or justice.
MARION COUNTY.
The election returns from Marion
county's SO precincts are all in, but the
vote has not been canvassed. There ID
variance in the unofficial estimates in
some precincts, but it is settled that
VandeIburg has carried the county by
about 73 plurality, and Hayden's major
ity over Carson for district attorney il
1928.
YAMHILL COUNTY.
The union bimetallic ticket is elected
The lowest majority is 1923 for sheriff
the highest, 682, for surveyor. The vote
of North Newberg will not materially
change the result, but will PROBABLY ado
10 votes to the republican eide of thu
slate.
BENTON COUNTY.
K, R. Lake, republican nominee TO
Joint representative for Benton and Lin
coin counties, is elected by 275 majority
r. O. Logan, candidate for representa-
tive on the Benton county republican
ticket, is defeated by about 20 pluralii.
by John Whitaker, q popuEist, the fire
one ever elected in the county. On th'
county ticket, the successful democrati
fusion candidates are Peter Reckard
sheriff, and v. E. Waters, clerk. Th
democrats also elected their assessor
Asa Alexander, and VIM. Buchanan
treasurer. The republicans saved from
the wreck the school superintendent
George Denman,. John Gallatly, recorde
and Johu Buchanan, commissioner.
JACKSON COUNTY.
Complete returns from all but tw
small precincts give republicans on
representative and school superintendent
and the democrats county judge, an
everything else goes to the popullsts b
email majorities. Hon. w, s. Grove
was elected county judge by majorit
OF less than 100, while Hon. N. Langel
for representative on the repubica
