DEMOCRATS VOTED
FOR REPUBLICANS
Minority Party Figures in the
Totals to the Extent of Only
Three Per Cent.
HUMPHREY HAS A CHANCE
Necessary to Count First and Second
Choice Ballots on Congressman in
First Washington District.

Seattle Sept 16.-Several days may
pass before 70 IS known who is nomi-
mated for Congress on the Republican
ticket IN the First Washington dis
trtct. There were five candidates and
the primary law provides that I'm such
cases the voter shall mark on the bal
lot MS first and second choice. Then.
N no candidate receives 40 per cent
or the votes cast. the first and second
cholce votes shall be added together
and the candidate receiving the high
est number OF votes in the totals 50
obtained shall be the nominee. In
King county Representative william
p Humphrey. standpattcr. ran zoo
votes behind Thomas T. Revelle. insur-
TENT. and received only 80 per cent OF
the total vote Of the county. Humph-
rey carried all the other counties in
the district. yet 20 IS believed he fell
below 20 per cent on the first choice
votes and the second choice votes will
therefore be counted. Humphrey got
few second choice votes anywhere, but
Rcvelle was a general second choice

The Democratic vote was so small
that returns sent in thus FAR take no
account OF ~. IL IS believed that State
senator George r. Cotteral Of Seattle,
national head OF the Good TempIars.

ton for senator. In the First district
the only Democratic candidate for rep

In the Second district n. Langhorne OF

THE NORMAL SCHOOLS.

Monmouth refused to ally itself with
Ashland and Weston, and went II
alone" in the normal school campaign.
Ashland and Weston loyalty supported
three schools. and Monmouth one--for
Monmouth Forty-six Portland pre-
cincts gave Monmouth 962 majority,
Weston 99 majority, and went against
Ashland by 1T votes. 1t is yet too
early to determine the true signifi-
canoe of these figures, but they are
a disappointment to three-school sup
porters who depended upon more lib
eral view of the situation from Port
land people. They seem to indicate a
belief in the theory that the VILLAIN
cite valley should have everything and
the rest of the state nothing. They
seem also to indicate that Monmouth
was shreWd, If not selfish, in pad
ding it's own canoe" and bending it's
energies to q one-schOol campaign.
The figures are especially disappoint-
ing to the Leader, which looked to
Portland for good majority for all
three normals, knowing that the me-
tropolis saved the University of Ore
gon from defeat in a referendum raid.
Weston Leader.
That Monmouth was friendly to the
other Normal schools is shown by the
vote of the two Monmouth precincts
which gave both Weston and Ashland
majorities nearly equal to that ac
corded their home school. But in re-
fusing to ALLY" itself with the other
Normals, Monmouth was wise. Those
Normal school alliances were what
put these institutions out of business
in Oregon for two years. The voters of
Oregon were tired of Normal School
alliances and anything savoring of
combine would have resulted in the
defeat of all three in the recent cleo
tion.

GOOD WORDS FOR OLD POLK
sheridan Newspaper Tells of Prosper
ity Of Ncighbor County.


e. p. Farmer, one of the new resi-
dents on Red Prairie, is preparing to
build large new farm house that will
be 24x2S feet, with an addition IA feet
/ two stories high, and fitted with all
modern conveniences. Mr.. Farmer
came here from the garden spot OF
| South Dakota. but thinks this section
of Oregon is much superior to his for
mer state.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. L. Guttry, who have
resided on their Harmony farm for up
ward of forty years, left this week for
! st. Johns, where they will reside for a
year at least. Only a few of the old
settlers remain of those who were
there forty years ago, but the old farm
/ home where they have passed so many
/ pleasant years has become almost a
part of them and they leave it only for
cessation of active toll in their de-
clining years. Their son will manage
the farm for them while they are
away.
Red Prairie no longer lags behind
the productive sections of old Polk, if
it ever did. It's apples, pears, cherries
and berries are of the best and now
comes II. A. Tabor with his three
acres of Burbank potatoes that for
size, quality and yield are not sur
passed anywhere in the state. The
Portland papers have been startling
their eastern readers with remarkable
notatOes raised over the divide that
four of them measured yard, but Mr.
Tabor goes that about nine inches bet
ter His crop will net him about SIS
an acre.
Sheridan is proud of Roy Graves.
OF all the good candidates on the leg
islative ticket, he leads the bunch, in
the number of votes received. He is
all wool and will prove his worth in
the state legislature.
