county will never he disgraced by
another convention like the one
held on the 9th day of last April.
AS the OBSERVER remarked last
week, there are no differences to
heal in the rank and file of the
party, and no trouble will be ex-
perienced by Republicans in getting
together on common ground two
years from now. AT no time has
there been any division ofsentiment
upon National issues, and the over
whelming majority given the State
ticket is a splendid endorsement Of
the administration of Theodore
Roosevelt. The vote for Binger
Hermann is one of which the party
may also be proud, The little
handful of Harris men who
scratched Mr.. Hermann are well
come to all the glory they can get
out of their action, as the vote
shows that their number is too
small to be of any consequence.
The Republican party has at no
time been divided upon great
issues, and it is in better shape in
Polk county today than it has been
for many years. The reign Of
hossism is at an end

hy a majority of more than $500.
The ma jor.ty OF Multnon ali County
against the measure has already
been wiped out, and the measure is
making steady gains. 1t will take
the official count to determine the
majority won by the advocates OF
the law.
The counties carried for local
option are Baker, Benton, Clacka-
mas, Coos, Crook, Douglas, Gillian,
Jackson, Josephine, klamath, Lane,
Lincoln, Linn, Morrow, Polk, Sher-
man, Tillamook, Umatilla, Union,
Wheeler and Yamhill. Standing
With Multnomah in opposition to
the law are Clatsop, Columbia,
MalhCur, Washington and probably
Wasco and Grant. Curry, Lake,
Marion and Wallowa are yet to be
heard from, but their vote will not
make any appreciable effect on the
result.
Direct primary nominating law
has carried the state by more than
25,00O plurality, and that of the
state printer amendment is little
less. Both aroused practically no
opposition at the polls.
A. G. Marsters, Rep, is defeated
for State Senatorin Douglas county
by o. P. Coshow, Dem,
Robert G. Smith, Dem, of Jose
phine county, is elected to the
Legislature to a seat formerly held
by Republican, defeating R. W.
Clarke.

Democratic candidate.

Lane, Carry, Benton and Lincoln.
Coos and Curry counties elect
A. J. Sherwood, Dem, Joint Sena-
tor, and Robert Burns, Dem, Joint
Representative. These offices were
occupied by Republicans in the
last Legislature,
R. A. Booth, Rep, is reelected
State Senator in Josephine, Lane
and Douglas by a good majority.
Eastern Oregon counties generally
have given the head of the Repub-
ican good, and in many instances,
phenomenal maiorities, Local con.
}itions brought about the election

where candidates were up for re-
election who had performed salts

RESORTED TO NO TRADES.

The Republican minority meant
what it SAID when it promised not
to carry its fight down to the
minor Offices on the county ticket.
The Republican candidates for
Sheriff, Clerk, Assessor County
Judge and Commissioner received
the almost unanimous support of
the minority and no trading of
any kind was lesorted to, to
carry out the minority plans,
On the other hand, the majority
leaders did not hesitate to
make any sacrifice of the minor
Offices that would help them to
elect the Legislative ticket. In
many precincts these trades were
made openly, and Republican
managers were found working
tooth and toe-nail in their efforts to
effect combinations with the Demo-
Gratis. Men in nearly every pre-
cinct who were present when the
vote was counted say that the
minority voted almost to man for
the Republican county officers,
scratching. only the Senator and
Representative, while the sup
porters Of Loughary add Keyt in
OF instances voted for
Ford, Dalton, Myer, Butler and
other Democratic candidates for the
minor Offices, The returns in many
of the strongest Republican pre-
3inCts show that this was the case.
The blame for this unholy alliance
loes not rest upon the candidates
,or these Offices, as it is well known
hat not one of them on either
ticket offered to trade a single man
IN his party ticket in order to OBJ
ain votes for himself. The candi-
iates were above this sort of
business, but few of the leaders
n each party were not. The Oh
server mentions these matters
merely to prove the correctness of t
is repeated predictions that the
Republican candidates for the minor {
flices were in the hands of leaders
Who cared little for the success of
he Republican ticket outside of
he offices of Senator and Repre-
entative. The successful candidates
ave the voters Of the minority and O
nd not the leaders OF the majority b
o thank for their election last Mon
ay. No one was more surprised "
t the Republican victory for d
ounty offices than the majority ',
9aders themselves.

From reports from the five
counties of the Third Judicial

Judge over Eddy, Rep, by a
plurality of about 100 or perhaps
more. Eddy carried Marion bv
nearly 700, but lost all other

JUST AS PREDICTED.

JUDI no 1 NLDASA LOs
The result of Mondays election
proved disastrous to a portion o
the Republican ticket in Poll
county, just as large number o
Republicans predictedall along tha
it would. The expected has hap
pened, aud no one should be sur
prised at the.outcome. Polk county
with a normal Republican majority
of 300 votes, sends a Democrat tC
the lower house of the Oregon
legislature, and it was due only tc
apathy and Indifference on The
part of the Democratic party that
a Democrat was not elected to the
office of State Senator Mr..
Loughary, the Republican candi-
date for Senator, is elected by a
plurality of only little over 100
votes, and every one Of these 100
votes were cast by Democrats. The
returns from strong Republican
precincts like Independence, Dallas
and Falls City and from smaller
Republican precincts throughout
the county prove beyond question
that hundreds Of Republicans voted
against Loughary for Senator, and
further prove that without Demo-
cratic aid he would not have been
elected.
In county giving Republican
pluralities of from 800 to 500 votes
for State officers, there was
necessarily cause for this falling
off in the Republican vote for
legislative officers, and this cause is
not hard to find. The unprecedented
action of the majority in the Re-
publican county convention in re.
fusing any recognition whatever to
a minority comprising fully one
third of the members of that body, |
and the subsequent arrogant and |
overbearing treatment of old and |
faithful Republican workers by
young and inexperienced leaders
who had gained control of the
party organization caused a revolt
among the voters generally that no
amount of persuasion or threats
could overcome. Men who had the
future welfare of the party at heart
were not willing to permit the
leadership to pass into the hands
Of men who are in the Republican
party only for what they can get
out of it, and it was with a fixed
and firm resolution that the work
of breaking the power of these
bosses before it became dangerous
was begun.
The work has been accomplished,
and accomplished well, and the re
suit cannot be other than gratifying
to every Republican who has the
real good of his party at heart.
The atmosphere has cleared per-
ceptibly since the election, and the {
party will now be able to take its {
bearings for future campaigns. {
The backbone of the new leadership |
has been broken square into the
and no amount of skilIful
manipulation can get it together I
again. The party has had a dose
OF tmismanagementinthis campaign
that will be Sufficient fer the next
twenty years, and the voters will :
not be anxious to have it repeated u
Hereafter, Republican maiorities I
will give decent and respectful L
recognition to Republican minor d
ties, and it is safe to say that Polk
