\ REPUBLICAN VICTORY
Oregon Again Goes Republican
by 10000.

An overwhelming majority for the
state republican ticket, the direct pri-
mary nominating election law, the
constitutional amendment affecting
the Office Of the State Printer. a sub
stantial victory for the local option
liquor law, and the insurance Of a
Republican Legislature at the next
biennial session are some Of the issues
of Mondays election
The republican candidates for con-
gress are reelected with heavy ma
jorities Hermann, in the First Dis
trict against whom all the guns Of
the political foe were trained with re-
lenlless fury, will come out with
flying pennants to the tune Of 5000
majority, unless all reports are wrong
and Williamson, IN the Second Dis
trict, stands returned to the legisla-
tive halls Of Washington without
serious opposition at the hands Of his
democratic opponent.
Various estimates have Leen made
on the extent OF the republican ma
iority, and, while it is yet uncer-
tain, many are disposed to place it in
the neighborhood Of the 20, 600 mark.
The local option law Jared better
generally over the state than was its
fate in Multnomah County, and while
its majorities in the various counties
were not nearly so large as those OF
the direct primary nominating election
law, there is Dom for an estimate of
a majority running into the
thousands.
Fractional fights over the state are
in evidence in the dispatches, and as
a result number of democrats will
hold county offices after the 9th of
next month.
In Multnomah county there was
large general republican majority,
defeat for local option, triumph for
the direct primary law, a victory for
two democratic nominees, a light vote
and Unprecedented slashing Of the
ticket.
with three exceptions the republi-
can ticket has gene through by
large margin, bat the vote which
elected John Manning district attor-
nry, Thomas NJ. Word. sheriff, and
buoyed up G. w. Nottingham for state
senator was little short of an electoral
avalanche. Not the most sanguine
democrat or the most timid republi-
can thought for moment during the
day that there would be such a wide.
spread tofiection from the straight
ticket as results indicate, and the
majority by which John Manning
oyerrides Sanderson Reed stands as
one Of the maryels of politics.
The ticket in Douglas county was
badly scratched. Coshow, democrat,
for state senator, will be elected by
200 majority and Agee, democrat, for
clerk, by $50 majority. Hamilton,
for circuit judge W i'll carry the county
by $50 McClallen, republican nomi.
nee.for sheriff, will receive 100 plural
ity and the balance of the republican
ticket is easily elected.
Hermann carries the county by 600
majority.
