ELECTION RESULTS

The final election returns from ovei
the state showed the election Of Os
waId West, Democrat, Governor anC
the Republican candidates to the other
state Offices and to Congress by gooC
majorities. The state went for Home
Rule and against state wide prohibi.
tion. The effect of the former seems
to be a matter of doubt among law.
yers,. The Good Roads bill went
through by large majority. The
new counties all failed as did the Ash.
land and Weston normals, while the
Monmouth school pulled a majority.
Woman's suffrage failed to carry.
Judge A. j. Derby, of this city,
who was successful in his race for
joint representative for Wasco and
| Hood River counties will be one of six
Democrats in the state legislature.
Derby ran second to Gill, the Wasco
Republican in the district and was
"high man" in this county. John
Leland Henderson ran 1873 votes ahead
Of Derby in Wasco county, but the lat
ter's net majority was l6l. Sam Stark
carried Hood River and Crook counties
| by five votes each for the Circuit
| judgeship, but BradshaW's lead in
Wasco county was l,064
The official returns for Hood River
county bear out in every respect the
figures and deductions made from the
unofficial partial returns in The Glacier
last week. The vote cast in the
county was light, being but 1882,
while the registration was 1910. The
vote was less than in the presidential
election two years ago. BY precincts
the vote was West Hood River, 24l ;
South Hood River, 1874; East Hood
River, l75: Hood River Center, 1903
Odell, 80; Falls, 81; Baldwin, 133
Most of the voters expressed their
choice of nearly all the measures
and made choice among the candi-
dates for all the Offices. The voter
who took the prize for shirking his
responsibility was in East Hood River
precinct and he placed but one cross
on his ballot in answer to the 65 ques-
tions asked him by the state. Fur
thermOre, there was method in his
madness because that one cross was
placed after number 300 and he cast
his only vote in favor of women s
suffrage. 1t is supposed that If the
measure had passed this man would
have left all the voting to his wife in
the future and remained out of the
election booth.
The balloting Tor the office of Cover
nor was the center Of interest and 1l5C
votes were cast for the gubernatoriaI
candidates. The county prohibition
question attracted more interest thar
any other question submitted to the
voters, there being 1854 votes cast
on that matter and the greatest inter.
est manifested in the state measures
was the Home Rule, on which 1905
voters expressed their choice.
Murray Kay, for surveyor, who hao
no opposition, led the Republican
ticket with 1888 votes, while W. f.
Hanson, for county clerk, got l0lj
votes, the most given to any candidate
who had opposition. Willis S. Duni
way, Republican candidate for state
printer received 1888 votes, the high.
est number received by any candidate
of his party who had Democratic OPP
position. Judge A. }. Derby led the
Democratic ticket with 766 votes.
The normal Republican vote indi
Gated by the returns is in the neigh
borhood of 700 while there seems to bt
about 200 Democrats in the county
The Prohibition and Socialist parties
have about rs voters apiece. Lesli,
Butler of this city, Prohibition candi
date for state treasurer, was the only
