OREGON PRIMARIES
Roosevelt Carries State and
Selling, the SenatOrship

, Up until 1:30 O'Clock this after
noon no news Of the primary
election over the state and dis
trict had been received. Repre-
] sentatives of the local telephone
company went out among the
public spirited citizens yesterday
evening and took up a liberal co..
lection for the purpose of getting
such news from over the state,
but so far as the Times-Herald
can find there has been no sue
cess, even tho the initiative Sc
cured the desired compensation.
Positively nothing authentic
had been received at that hour,
of anything outside of a few 10.
cal precincts in this vicinity.
1t is reported that Brooke for
district attorney had carried On
tario solid. The others in the
race on the republican ticket are
reported as follows: Duncan as
carrying Vale solid and Marks of
Grant County as receiving a ma
Ijolity at Westfall in Malheur
county. The same report says
that Aker, democrat, was but 25
ahead of Vic Cozad in Malheur
county.
Another report states that
Stewart of Grant has a big lead
in that county over Miller for the
Office of joint-senator.
The returns in this county are
coming in very slow, some pre-
cincts reporting only the vote on
some particular contestants. For
instance we have only the vote
of Comegys and Richardson can
'didatcs for sheriff on the demo
cratic ticket from Harney. Hap
py Valley and Catlow. The |
vote on other Offices were omitted |
entirely.
As it looks now for county of
ficers the following will be the
nominees: County Clerk, f. b.
Waters, republican, +. c. Eggle-
ston, democratic.
Sheriff. Sidney Comegys has a
lead Of II over A. X. Richardson
on the democratic ticket with the
chances between them a bout
even. Austin Goodman, republi-
can.
Assessor. J. J. Donegan, re-
publican; c. +. Brittingham and
f.. j. Catlow are close for the
democratic nomination with
chances favoring Brittingham.
Treasurer. Simon Lewis, demo-
cratic; r. A. Miller, republican.
Surveyor. Frank Gowan. re-
publican; c. f.. Beery. democrat.
County Commissioner very
close on both tickets among the
with chances favor
ing Fred Peters on the republican
ticket and j. f. Sizemore on the ,
democratic. h
