| legislature opened who would have
prophesied that Lafayette Young would
not stay through; others would readily
have agreed that A. B. Funk, Warren
Garst, H. w. Byers, Guy Feely and
others must give up. the fight, but who
would have thought that with all the
other changes Judge Kenyon's original
following would have stood by him SO
solidly for so long?
It was the opinion of many political
observers, whose opinions are worth
consideration, that Judge Kenyon
would eventually receive the standpat
support, but that now seems improb-
able unless he shall secure it by firing
tn, standpatters out completely. They
don't appear to be ready to quit, and In
fact they are securing added votes as
time goes on, for their present candi-
date, Judge Deemer.
Deemer Expected to Stick.
Just how long the supreme court
justice will stay in the race, If the Ken
yon men remain firm and the race
itself continues, is question. Many
dopesters picked him to quit after yes
terday's vote and the governors veto
Of the Oregon plan bill. But now he re-
mains in the running, and is SO strong
that he would hardly be credited with
good political sense should he with
draw at this time, unless it should be
in favor of man who could surely and
certainly command the majority of the
strength Of the joint legislative body
and thus stop the fight.
A point that Kenyon men are urging
in order to wean away some OF Judge
Deemer's standpat support is that, II
he should secure the senatorship, o
standpatter would most certainly be
appointed to the supreme bench in his
place; standpatter who would serve
for sixteen years and continue all that
time as thorn in the flesh Of insurgent
republicanism. This argument, though
1t should not affect the senatorial vote,
is being employed strongly in the
strenuous effort to get Deemer out OF
the race and mobilize the progressive
support once more around Judge Ken.
yon.
Again Talk Of a Primary.
There is some talk now Of a primary
too, though it comes tardily, the legis.
lature having killed the proposition by
means Of double barreled vote in
both houses. The Register and Leader
of this city printed an editorial this
week in which the opinion was ex-
pressed that, after all, it would have
been logical for the legislature to vote
for special primary, which would
have cost no more than the old-time
annual election that was done away
with only by means Of a stern fight.
1t isn't probable, though, that this
opinion is general enough among the
progressive legislators to force them

Sources Of overcounting.
The names improperly enumerated
in the various cities and districts con
cerned may be roughly grouped under
the following classes:
Purely fictitious names, probably
comparatively few.
Persons who were residents Of the
city, but who did not reside In the
enumeration district in which fictiti
ously reported and who were already
enumerated at their true residence.
Persons formerly residents Of the
city, but who had permanently left it.
or who, in some cases, had died;
names in such cases having been at
times taken from old directories OF
from pay rolls of employers.
Persons who had never had a perm
anent residence in the city and were
not there at the time of the enumera.
ton, but who previously, at one time
or another, had been temporarily pres.
ent in the city
Persons temporarily present in the

where.
Persons perhaps having no usual
place of abode and who were not pres
ent in the city on the census day, but
only at some subsequent time-tn
some cases several weeks after the
census day.
Unauthorized Help Of Enumerators.
In considerable, proportion of cities
in which overcounting took place, 1t
was due largely to the authorized ac-
tiyity of private individuals in collect
ing names and turning them over to
the enumeratOrs. In other words,
many enumerators permitted lnforma-
ton obtained by private individuals
and judgments exercised by private
individuals as to the claim OF persons
to enumeration to be substituted for
information secured and judgment ex-
ercised by themselves. These private
individuals, subject to no responsible
ity. usually entirely ignorant OF the
census rules as to persons entitled TO
enumeration, and often actuated by
the illegitimate desire to pad the re-
turns. could not, of course, properly
do the work of enumeration.
In a number of cities committees
were constituted by boards OF trade or
other. commercial organizations, or
were otherwise formed, to assist in the
census The nominal purpose in all
cases was merely to make sure that
the enumeration was complete, ana IN
some instances the activities OF these
were actually helpful TO
the census. In some instances, how

methods of these committees We're

Legitimate, the result was an overcount
| of the population, and in other cases
| the purpose and methods of at least
individual members of committees and
those employed by them were conspic-
uously illegitimate.and fraudulent.
It was a strong temptation to an
Remuneration to add such names to his
schedules, both for financial reasons
and in order to make the population OF
| his city appear as large as possible. BY
entering name without investigation,
he could, in the work of a single min
ute, secure the compensation provided,
usually ~ or cents per name, while
! it might require many minutes or even
an hour or More to investigate the
claim of person to enumeration, with
the possible result Of finding. that ne
should not be counted. In few cases
special agents connived with enumer-
ators in fraud, or even instructed them
to commit it.
