PORTLAND, ore, NOV. 10, $50 p.
Especial to Ease OreeOnian. -
Fifteen out OF 2S precincts in Benton

as distant rural districts are heard
from. 1t must gain 1888 votes to

That the Pendleton normal meas.
ure came within 1000 votes of carry
ing is indicated by special returns re-
ceived by the East Oregonian today.
At noon the total vote of the state
as tabulated in Portland by Fred
LOckley stood, No 1890; Yes s7.2s6,
the negative majority being 1894.
As the full returns are not yet In it
is possible the majority may be re-
duced inasmuch as the unfavorable
vote today is less than was anticipat-
ed yesterday.
