LARGE PLURALITY
FOR JUDGE ELLIS
GOES TO CONFESS WITH
$4,000 VOTES TO SPARE.
Said to BE the Largest Plurality Ever
Enjoyed by Congressional Candidate
in Oregon-Judge Ellis Served Six
Years I'm Congress From This Dis
trict-IIis Opponent Practically I'm
known In the District.

One of the finest compliments pail
to any candidate in the state at the
last election was the heavy vote given
Judge w. r. Ellis of this city, candi-
date for congress for the second dis
trict, comprising all of eastern Ore
gon and Multnomah county.
Judge Ellis plurality will exec ID
5000, which is said to be the largest
plurality ever received by any con-
gressional candidate in the state.
The democratic candidate for this
place, James Harvey Graham, was
entirely unknown outside of a mar
row circle of business and social ac-
quaintances in Baker county, and did
not make a vigorous campaign. This,
with the fact that Judge Ellis served
six years in congress from this district
and was we'll known in every precinct
in the district contributed to the ex-
traordinary vote which he received
from all parties.
Judge Ellis highly appreciates the
compliment paid him in this vote and
expresses freely his desire to serve
his district in such and earnest and
aggressive manner as to fully justify
his support.
In 1904 j. n. Williamson carried
the district by less than $4,000 over
simmons, the democratic candidate
who received 12,770 votes.
