Presidential Aspifaat Has Cka
Majority Oye Opponents.
moAaThlR HOLDS BIG LEAD At start


Nearly every county Of Oregon from
MuItnomsh county to the remotest cor
ners Of the state has given Charles
Evans Hughes substantial majorit,
over all other candidates for the Re
publican nomination for the Presi
dency.
Returns from Oregon's statewide
primary election Friday show conclu'
sively that Justice Hughes is decidedly
the choice Of Oregon Republicans fol
the Chicago nomination next month.
He has large majority over all other
candidates put together. Senator Al
bert B. Cummins, Of Iowa, Is running
second, and ex-senator Burton, of
Ohio, third.
Colonel Roosevelt has received only
light vote. His name was written
In on the ballot by supporters in near
Iy every county represented in the
early returns.
Ben w. Olcott maintained strong
lead over Charles B, Moores for the
Republican nomination for SECRETARY
Of state. Mr.. 0lcott is the incum-
bent.
For delegate large to the National
convention there are seven leading
candidates, as follows: Cameron,
1924; Boyd, $500; Carey, 34ss; Full
ton, 1926; Hawkins, 2913; Spencer,
29l2; Ackerson, 2108; Case,
1879; Peterson, 1876; Buland, 1913;
Warren, l440; Morsley. 1862. The
situation is therefore left in doubt ex-
cept apparently as to Cameron and
Fulton.
In the Second district, with two to
elect, the vote seems to favor Brooke,
with 493.
In the First district the incomplete
vote on delegates is az follows: Bis
hop 1907; Calkins 1142; Abraham
1888; Sleeves 594.
W. G. Hawley and N. ]. Sinnott,
Representatives in congress from the
First and Second districts, respective
ly, have been nominated to succeed
themselves without opposition. 1t is
probable that they have received the
Democratic and Progressive nomina-
tions as well. In the Third district,
comprised Of Multnomah county,
three-cornered fight was waged for
honors.
Complete returns from few pre-
cincts and incomplete returns from
all the 375 precincts in Multi
nomah county at 8 80 o'clock Saturday
morning indicate that the Republicans
of the have renominated C. N. Nc
Arthur for representative in congress.
A. W. Lafferty Is running second;
Il. v. Littlehed is far to the rear.
At that hour the returns gave Mr..
Macarthur lead of s77 votes over
Lafferty, who in turn was 703 ahead
of Littleheld.
McArthur's lead has been steadily
increasing since the first returns were
received.
George II. Burnett and Frank A.
Moore have been nominated to succeed
themselves on the Supreme bench, as
has John d. Micke for food and dairy
commissioner. They had no opposi-
tion.

 The Clifton Rifle Club held it's first shoot on Saturday and Sunday at the rifle range in Chase Creek can yon. The range was kpet busy all day and some good scores were made although this was the first attempt of any of the members to exert them selves in an effort to score as high as possible. The range has been put in fine condition with targets, pits and telephone connections be- tween the pits and the shooters stand. The best score was made by Beany Lynde who made 69 out of a possible 75. A Savage rifle will be put up as a prize in handicap match which will be played after the mem- bers have had more practice. Prac- tice shoots will be held from 2 to 5 p. m. every Saturday Afternoon and from g a. m. to 1 p. m. every Sun day. Two new targets are now in commission but it is expected that in the near future one or two more will be placed in order to give more men an opportunity to shoot. It is the in- tention of the Club to hold competi- ticn shoot on Thanksgiving Day which will be open to all members 0, the Club and their friends, but en- trance for the prize shoots must have fired one practice course at least so that their proper handicap may be figured out
