Barlow's majority ................ SlS
It will be noted that 1878 Republicans
who voted for Mckinley for reasons
known to themselves and OF others for
got to vote for James McLachlan and
failed to vote for c. A. Barlow.
There were also 5O6 supporters of
William j. Bryan for president who
neglected to stamp Mr.. Barlow's name
and who did not desire to vote for James
McLachlan.
In the country districts of the county
the Republicans got the vote which gave
them the county. Pasadena. Pomona
and the Soldiers Home were too strong
to overcome entirely. although a mag
nifcent showing was made. The vote
was as follows .o-
Republican ...... ................. 1000
Populist ............ .....'...''..'' to1d
Democratic ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. saw
Toto, for Rrvan 1914
Plurality for Mckinley ............. l22l
Leaving out the Soldiers Home and
Pasadena Bryan would have carried the
country districts. AS 1t is a plurality OF
1921 VIII have to be recorded against
him in that portion of the county where
it was hoped and confidently expected
Bryan and the principles he stood for
would prevail. But 1t seems that they
they did not.
MIR. McLachlan Jared almost as hard
in the country as he did In the city. The
vote for congressman was:
McLachlan ...... ...............'.'' ooaS
McLachlans plurality ............ S62
I 1t will be noted that 693 Republicans
were blind when it came to voting for
congressman in the county districts in
so far as James McLachlan was con-
cerned. There were also 33s Bryan men
who failed to vote for Mr.. Barlow.
The total vote of the county on presi-
dent is as follows:
Republican ............ 10000
Populist ..................'.. S'os5

Two years ago the vote in this county
for governor was as follows:
Republican ............... ....ll,2 04
Democratic ......... ............... l,6ls
Populist ....... ..'..........''...'... 4'd dS
This year the total vote cast by the
three highest parties is 32,942, while two
years ago the total vote cast by the same
three parties was 22O92. The increase
10, $780, OF this increase 1903 was gain
to the Republicans and 4643 was gain
to the Democrats. The Populist party
has lost 293 votes. The percentage of
gain to the Republican and Democratic
parties Is as follows:
Republican party, 40 per cent.
Democratic party, go per cent.
The Populist party has lost per cent
of it's vote.
The total vote in the county for con-
gresham was:
McLachlan .................l5 ,292
McLachlan's majority . AZ
Two years ago Mr.. McLachlan had a
plurality in this county of 4470. 1t will
be noted that his vote fell off considera-
bly,, although the total vote cast this
year was an increase over that cast two
years ago for congressman of over 5000.
This year there were all told 1865 Re-
2publicans who voted for Mckinley, but
not for McLachlan. There were also
$40 voters who were for Bryan and not
for Barlow.
1t Will take several days to add up
the totals of the votes as they have been
entered upon the books. The totals
above given are from the records, but
are not the totals of Mr.. Newlin's dep
uties, who may possibly be better at
adding Republican votes than The Her.
aid representative. The figures given
however. are correct
Mr.. Barlow has carried this congress
sional district by over 600 votes. So
this precludes the possibility of any con-
test for his seat, which has been limited
at for several days.
1t may be possible that the man in
San Francisco who has been sending out
a daily report showing McLachlan to
be ahead of Barlow in this congression-
al district will now retire and give an
other man chance to send out the cor
rect figures.
There have been about 300 ballots re-
jected, and there are. still quite a num-
Der unaccounted for.
The official count in this county is far
from satisfactory to a great many peo-
Pile. but they are without recourse, 1t
Is not probable that there will be any
recount.
The chairman of the state silver cam
paign committee has wired here that
he will by proper legal proceedings OBJ
tain a recount In every county in the
rate. In other words, he wires that he
