Three of the Important county office county Judge, assessor and sheriff, are filled by Democrat. Mr. Harding has alway been a staunch Democrat but never held a political olllce.

He rendered valuable aervlre to the Dem ocracy of the county on varlou oc casion by allowing the use of hi nnme for office when the party can didate had no chance of winning. Mr. Cooke erved two term a sheriff and was a candidate for mayor two year ago. He ha alway up ported the nominee of the party and has aided them In other way. Mr. Cooke 1 connected with the hardware store of WllBon & Cooke. - T. P. Randall, who is the . present postmaster, probably will hold on for two yeare and a half when hla term expires.

MAJORITY OF RESIDENTS OF PRO POSED DISTRICT AGAINST MEASURE PREDICTIONS VERIFIED BY VOTE 447 Ballot for Measure and 621 In Opposition In Territory Pro posed for Seces- ' Ion Analysis of the vote of tha eastern part of Clackamas County on the measure providing for the creation ct Cascade County demonstrates clearly the claim, made prior to election, that a majority of the resident of the dis trict embraced In the proposed Cas cade County were opposed to the bill This contention is substantiated by the returns from the 11 perecincts making up the territory that wa In the boundaries of the proposed Cas cade County, and in these 11 precinct there were only 447 vote in favor of the measure and 621 vote against. Eliminating the precinct of Estaca da, where the county division scheme was originated, there were only 276 votes for the bill and 6S7 In opposition to it The votes by precincts follow, according to the unofficial returns: Hull Run -e8. no 37.
