CLEAR TEST DECLARED

PoRTLANr. ore. May @2.-Iustice
Hughes probably has carried oregon by
a plurality of more than 10000 over
Senator Albert r. Cummins. Incomplete
returns, representing approximately 60
per cent of the vote in the State out
side Multnomah. the most densely popu-
lated county, give him total Of 29,3si.
with 1891 for Cummins Ex-senator
Burton has 5,Ill votes.
These figures give Hughes rlu-
rality, outside Multnomah, OF nearly
1900 over his nearest opponent. II this
same ratio is maintained in the re-
mainder Of the vote Hughes will have
a clear plurality over cummins Of about
10000. WIFI the complete vote In Multi

has 20.s73 votes TO S213 for the Iowa

The primary campaign just closed has
been regarded here as one OF the most

which the name Of Charles T. Hughes
appeared for the Presidency. In other
words II was the FIRST real test before

The returns so far received indicate

committee who were present nodded
their heads in acceptance or that con-
ception and applauded. They also set
up a handclapping when Col. Roosevelt
said 1t was useless for any public man
to announce himself in vague general
terms as in favor Of Americanism and
preparedness whether he be in or out
Of office.
Col. Roosevelt read these words from
