HUGHES PLURALITY
IN OREGON $4,000
Women Voted for the Justice at the
Ratio Of Two to One - Clear
Test Declared.

PORTLAND, Ore, May 24.-Justicc
Hughes probably has carried Oregon
by plurality of more than 10000
over Senator Albert b. Cummns of
Iowa. Incomplete returns, represent
ing approximately 90 per cent of the
vote in. the state outside of Multno-
nah, the most densely populated coun-
ty, give him total of 29,3s4, with
l5,491 for Cummins. Ex-senator Bur
ton mas 5,71l votes.
These figures give Hughes a plural
ity, outside Multnomah, of nearly IA
GOO over his nearest opponent. If this
same ratio is maintained in the remain
der of the vote Hughes will have a
clear plurality over Cummins of about
$4,000. With the complete vote in
r Multnomah tabulated Justice Hughes
has 20,S73 votes to S.2l3 for the Iowa
/ senator, plurality of nearly $4,000.
Justice Hughes likewise has received
n clear majority Of more than 10000
over all Republican Presidential can
didates combined.
Col Roosevelt. whose name was not
on the ballot received only scattering
votes from various parts of the state
The primary campaign just closed
has been regarded here as one of the
most important held this year in the
United States. Oregon was the only
state in which the name of Charles f.
Hughes appeared for the presidency
In other words. it was the first real
test before the voters of the United
States as to his popularity i'll national
politics.
The returns, so far received. Indicate
that the women voted for him in the
ratio Of almost to l. The German
American sentiment seems to have cut
but little figure. One of the most nu-
merous German societies in the state
made an official appeal to its members
to vote for Senator Cummins of Iowa.
but this seems to have had little or no
effect in the result
Then, again, it is known that the
Progressives quietly urged the mem
bers of their party to support the Iowa
Senator, who made an active personal
canvas of the state, speaking in near
ly every county and closing his cam
paign only tweHty-four hours before
the opening of the polls. Ex-senator
Burton of Ohio also came to the state,
and with an active organization back
of him made a thorough canvass.
While it is true that a considerable
number Of voters wrote in the name of
Theodore Roosevelt it is not believed
+ by those in touch with the situation
! that the Colonel would nave led in
! the voting even if his name had been
/ placed on the official ballots. To sum
! 1t up, there seems to be a general i'm
preston that regardless of all politi-
cal factions Justice Hughes is the clear
choice of the Republican voters of
Oregon.

TWIN BROTHERS IN PRISON.
Photographs and Fingerprints Puzzle
Authorities.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-Two
brothers, twins, as alike in appearance
as two peas in pod, have been dis
covered in the rogues gallery records
to be serving separate sentences of
five years for burglaries committed in
Los Angeles.
When the picture of the brothers
reached Adolph Juhl. head of the DO
lice Identification bureau here, it was
thought at first that tle prison records
were IN error, that through some slip
two records had been made out for the
same man. Juhl Immediately wired to
the officials at San Quentin and Folsom
asking for the fngerprints of Mesak
Kartangan. which is the name claimed
by both men and it was only Wien the
prints were examined under the glass
that it was found that there were two
separate and distinct Mesak Kartan-
9ans.
The men have prison records in
various parts of the country, and both
are graduates of reformatories.
One was convicted March 20, 1915,
and the other March Is of this year.
They are % years old.

Hughes tonight told an audience that
crowded Scheutzen Park hall. in

the support "of anyone who has any
interest superior to that of the United
States, who would no instantly
champion the right and interest OF
America against any country what
ever, who wants immunity for for
eign aggression, or who would have
the power of this nation held captive
to any foreign alliance or swerved by

Mr.. Hughes declaration was made
at the first of three meetings at which
he spoke in New York City tonight
The other two meetings were held in
Harlem and the Bronx ~
No Unstated Purposes.

clared, 1--WE shall have an exclusively

election the rights and interests of
American, citizens will be subordi-
mated to some ulterior purpose, or to
the interest of the policies of foreign
powers whatever, he is dooped to dis
appointment.
Il am an American, free and clear
of all foreign entanglements. We

EpISCOPALIANS FOR
NEW LIQUOR LAWS
Deputies Ask Legislation to
Preserve Temperance and
Repress Alcohol Traffic.
MOVIE CENSORSHIP NEEDED

St. Louis, Oct. 24.-The house OF
deputies of the Protestant Episcopal
general convention today adopted a
resolution favoring "such action in
our legislative assemblies as will pre-
serve the large interests of temper
ance and aid in the repressionNof the
liquor traffic"
The resolution was adopted as the
result of memorial presented by
Francis LYME Stetson, layman OF
New York, acting in behalf of the
church temperance society. 5,.
The resolution was reported favor
ably by the commission to which it
had been referred. The report read
by Rev. James Freeman of Minneapo-
i,e, chairman of the commission, said:
Our age is witnessing vast and uni
versal readjustment with reference to
the manufacture and sale of liquor
and it is generally recognized that the
saloon has become more and more 4
menace to the best interests OF ou-
corporate and individual life
The. .house of deputies also adopted
resolution offered by Rev. w. v,
Shayler of Seattle, calling for ma
tional censorship of moving pictures.
Agree to Reelection. f
St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 23.-The house
of deputies of tho Protestant Episco-
pal general convention today con-
Cured with the house Of bishops in
re-electing the present officers of the
Board of Missions.
The opposition to reelection was
based on the action of the Board of
Missions in sending delegates to par
ticipate in the Panama conference on
South American missions. Represen-
tatives of different Protestant
churches participated in this confer
ence, and objection was made to the
representatives of the Board of Mis-
sions OF the Episcopal church taking
part.
The present officers we're reelected
by a vote o. dioceses and orders in
the house of deputies:
Yeas: Clerical, 44H; lay, 26A: Nays:
Clerical, 2lN; lay. l3A. Divided;
Clerical, 6; lay, 4. =.
Rev. John Williams, Omaha, said
the opposition was directed only at
the head of the Board of Missions,
Bishop Lloyd.
The matter of changing the name
Of the church was brought before the
house Of deputies by Rev. Martin
Agner, Erie, Pa, who asked that the
title book of the prayer book be
changed to read "The Holy Catholic
Church." according to the usages OF
the Protestant Episcopal church. This
resolution was referred to commit
tee, where it probably will remain.
The prayer book at present on its
title page refers to the church as the
Protestant Episcopal church.
The two houses today had joint
session in honor of the fiftieth elec.
tion to the episcapacy of Right Rev
Daniel Sylvester Tuttle, bishop oi
Missouri and presiding bishop Of the
church.
