No election in Hood River county has
ever attracted less attention than the
primaries of last Friday. But little
more than 80 per cent of the registered
voters visited the polls. In Hood Riv-
er county as in other parts of the
state. Charles E. Hughes was tie
choice Of Republicans for presidential
candidate. Woodrow Wilson received
practically a unanimous Democratic
vote, and Thomas r. Marshall was
nominated for President Wilson'S run
ming mate. William Grant Webster

The race for state senator and state

W. Morton. and F. NJ. Gill in Wasco.
aspirant for state senatorship, we're
surprised at the result.
Final unofficial returns from the two
counties Of Hood River end Wasco,
comprising both the senatorial and rep
resentative districts, showed Mr.. Gill
to be the nominee with purality of 26
votes. Anderson and Kelly were shown
TO be nominees for representative, the
latter having but SO votes more than
]. T. Adkisson. the third Republican
from Wasco in the race.
Citizens OF Wasco county have been
conceding that Hood River county
should have representation In the leRis-
allure. and the result of last Fridays
primary will probably concentrate the
support Of both Republicans and Demo-
crates on Geo. r. Wilbur, the unop-
posed Democratic candidate for sena-
torship.
