The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1910-11-10
WEST WILL BE
NEXT GOVERNOR
THE COUNT is COMING IN SLOWLY
Culbert on, McCurdy, RhOadeS and John
son Win-Derby and Stark Lead
Here County Dry.

The laborious work of counting the
votes on the lengthy ballot kept the
election boards going until way into
Wednesday night and complete returns
are not yet available, but enough has
been received to show which way
most of the votes are going.
Oswald West, Democrat, seems to
have won the governorship by about
5000. Partial returns show that Hood
River will give Bowerman majority
of perhaps 100 votes.
A. W. Latferty is now the Congress-
man-eect from this district, going in
with a big vote. His majority in
Hood River will run several hundred.
The rest of the state ticket is also
Republican. Hood River went strong
ly Republican on the State ticket.
The Republican candidates for Su-
preme Judges seem to be elected by
large majorities although the Demo-
Gratis, who had the Non-P Political Judi
ciary endorsement, are running far
ahead of the rest of their ticket. A
large complimentary vote in Hood Riv-
er county was given to Leslie Butler,
candidate for State Treasurer on the
Prohibition ticket and he may carry
the county. Thomas Kay, the Repub-
lican candidate is, however, sure of
election.
The prospects are that Judge w. l..
Bradshaw, Democrat, is reelected.
In complete returns indicate that
Stark will run Bradshaw very close in
this county. News from Wasco county
was to the effect that Bradshaw is
getting about two to one in that
county. The running in Crook county
may be close, but it is certain that
Wasco's majority for Bradshaw will
elect him.
Incomplete returns show that Gill,
Republican, of Wacso, is sure of the
joint representative and that Judge A.
j. Derby has slightly the best of John
Leland Henderson. Derby will pro-
baby have a lead in Hood River
county by nearly 200 and early returns
said that he was running well in Wasco
county indicating his election.
County Clerk George d. Culbertson
carried the county by big majority
for County Judge over Charles N.
Clarke. Late predictions have been for
his election, but Lis large majority was
a great surprise.
George A. McCurdy was elected
County Commissioner by big major
ity and the indications are that Orson
H. Rhoades will also be successful.
Nj. M. Hill is running considerably
ahead of the Democratic ticket. but
East Hood River precinct, where he
had 81 votes more than khoades, seems
to be the only place where he is win
ming decisively.
Tom johnson seems sure to be the
next Sheriff of Hood River County.
Bill Ganger, Democrat, ran well in the
town precincts, but johnson, the
Republican, rolled up good leads in the
valley.
All the rest of the county offices
went to the Republican nominees with
little opposition.
There is a lively contest for the
office of Constable in the Hood River
district and early returns show that
Eph Olinger and Henry Hickox are
running close for that office.
Hood River City was elected as the
county seat by large vote. Odell
carried its own precinct and there
were scattering votes for Cascade
Locks, Winans and Van Horn. The
indications are that the county has
gone for local option prohibition by a
small majority. If the county goes
! wet the indications seem to be that the
subdivision of the county is going wet
also The early indications from the
, entire state are that the prohibition
, measures failed and that the Home
, Rule amendment was carried. HOOD
: River county seems to have gone foi
Home Rule and against Prohibition by
, small majorities.
, On the measures to create new
counties it seems that they are being
, lost over the state and Hood River
county went against them all. The
indications were that the Monmouth
s, Normal School would be successful
! with chance for the other schools a
Ashland and Weston. Hood Rive
county vote gave Monmouth the bes
of it and the other two lost here.
> The employers liability measure
4 seems to be carrying the state anC
it will have a good majority in Hoo'
River county.
