JOHNSON WINS OREGON
BY VERY SMALL MARGIN
Wood Is Close Second In Preferential
Vote-Sipnott Wins Easy Victory
Over Jones and President Wilson
Repudiated In Vote Cast for Cham
berlain.
Senator Hiram W. Johnson of Cal

ifornia was victor in the Oregon pre-
ferential primary vote last Friday
and when the votes have all been
counted, 1t is not likely that the sen-
ator will have lead over Leonard
Wood, his nearest opponent, of more
than 1000 votes.
Johnson's lead over Wood in Multi
nomah county put him all to the
good, SO far as the final result is
concerned, although the Willamette
valley and several Eastern Oregon
counties gave General Wood the pre-
ference by wide margin. While
the result in Morrow county was al
ways uncertain, the final count de-
yeloped the fact that the Il am for
Hiram" sentiment was no little thing.
The vote stood PSI for Johnson, 253
for Wood.
n. ]. Sinnott won over the Rev.
Owen F. Jones for the republican
nomination for representative of the
Second District by about two to one.
Sinnott carried Wasco, his home
county, by heavy majority. 1t had
been freely predicted that he would
lose out to MIR. Jones there, owing to
the stand he had taken on the Plumb
Plan and other railroad measures.
Apparently the railroad vote did not
cut much figure in this instance. In
Morrow county the vote stood Jones,
204. Sinnott, 406.
Senatot George e. Chamberlain
has been nominated over Harvey G.
Starkweather by two to one vote.
This was another instance where the
president had instructed party men,
bers how to vote, and as usual his
instructions helped to elect the other
candidate. Mr.. Chamberlain has
proven that he is far stronger in his
state today than is the Wilsonian
wing of the democratic party. In
Morrow county the vote stood for
Chamberlain, los, for Starkweather,
As.
II. N. Stanfeld had an easy victory
over Albert Abraham of Roseburg
for the republican nomination for
United States senator. Mr.. Stanheld
polled the heaviest vote OF any can
didate in the election. The Morrow
county vote was Abraham, 1858,
Stanfield, 422.
While Rhea Luper is apparently
defeated for the nomination OF pub
lie service commissioner, he undoubt-
edly will feel much gratifed over the
vote given him in his home county
of Morrow. He beat Mr.. Corey here
nearly five to one. The result was
Corey 140, Luper 500.
