AT time when about the same ~,

Multnomah county as had been conu u
in the remainder of the stato NJ
Withycombe led Mr.. Moser bv ~
votes. w
If the remainder of the count sbnp
continue in the same ratio Dr. WitSr
combe's plurality would be betvss,
5000 and 5000. The figures from d
counties, including As precincts !,
Multnomah county, all incomplets
gave the following figures:
Withycombe, 1912; Moser, 1891.
Crawford, 1146; Dimick, $780, Johns
1872; Geer, 685; Carter, $50; Brown.
ell, 478.
On justice of the Supreme coutf
is probable that the Republicans have
nominated Henry J. Bean, H. L. Ben,
son, Lawrence T. Harris, Thomas A
Mcbride, though Charles L. McNsr
and T. ]. Cleeton will follow CLOSELY.
For attorney general, while Frank
S. Grant has a substantial plurality in
Multnomah county with George M.
Brown second, Mr.. Brown has appa.
emily polled nearly two votes to Mr..
Grants one outside of the latter's
home county.
AS to the Democratic contest for the
gubernatorial nomination, returns are
too meager to permit forecast to be
made. The few precincts that have
reported in Multnomah county favor
John Manning, with DR.. C. ]. Smith
and Judge Bennett running close for
second place.
From upstate scattering returns
have been received from 16 counties
and these give Smith 1888, Bennett
964, Manning 158. The only clear In
dication is that outside of Multnomah
the contest is between Smith and Ben
nett.
The figures give larger pro-
portion of the Democratic vote in
Umatilla county than any other. Una
tilla is DIR. Smiths home and there
he, of course, polled very heavy
vote. Other upstate counties with
few exceptions have on the incomplete
returns given Judge Bennett plural
ity. It is apparent that the race lies
between DR.. Smith and Judge Bennett
Old General Apathy held sway
throughout the state, and the voters
acceding to his commands, stayed al
home. ,,,
It is estimated that only llttle
more than go per cent Of the reglstefso
vote in the state at large, lncludlns
Multnomah county, was cast.
While the proportion was muel
heavier in Portland, some Of the ou'.
standing districts Of the state polieu
bare so per cent OF. their reglStra'lOD. :,
