ErG EXE. Or.. Nor. 6. (Special.) As the time for the general election ap proaches Interest In the results and Issues are Increased. It Is expeted that a large vote will be polled In Lane County, owing; to the many Interests Involved, and particularly on account of the bitter contest over the division of 'jjine County. Leader of both sides rlalm a victory. The indications, as far 'as the election for Governor. Repre sentative and state ticket Is concerned, are that Bowerman will carry Lane 'ounty by S00 votes. Representative Jlawley by approximately the same number, and that each Republican on the atate ticket will be elected, as far u Lane County U concerned, by a substantial majority. It seems probable that Eugene and -Iane County will vote dry. that Is. In favor of statewide prohibition. On ac count of the defeat In the petitions of those who wish to make this a local Issue, there will be no rote, as far aa city or county Is concerned, excepting; on statewide measures, and tt will not be a great surprise to many If state wide prohibition and the home rule bill were both defeated In Lane County, because this county as been very well sattsOed with the local option law. and tivre are many people who would pre fer to let each locality settle Its own question. .MARION" COU NTT GOING WET Boaemun, Too, W1U Be Given Easy Lead Over West ' BALEM. Or. Nor. I (Special.) Ma r'era County probably will give Jay Bow erman a majority of from l0 to 2x rtemocrats say the court r will go for West, because of h!a resilience here, but It has been pmctlcally assured that he cannot overcome a majority of over 10 votes, whlrh Is a decldudly conservative estimate of normal conditions. There renu to be absolutrlr no doubt now that Bowerman will succeed In securing narrow marraln In the voting. Hairier prohubly will receive a normal Republican majority or a. trifle better, while the rest of the ticket promisee to receive from WOO to 1AO from Repub licans, with the possible exception of the candidate for State Printer, who may see bis vote cut down to some extent. Prohibitionists are hoping that Marlon County will go dry, but a conservative estimate place It wet. from 0 to M) majority, some precincts that are now dry being praoticaly assured In the wet column. Salem is expected to give a very narrow margin for the wels. BENSOX AXD CRAWFORD TO W1X XHraglas County Democrat and Re publicans Concrtle VlcCory. ROSEBURQ. Or.. Not. . SpecIal.) So bitter is the strife In the present campaign In Douglas County that it is almost Impossible to predict the result tonight. Leaders of both tbe Republican and Democratic party In Douglas County rlalm a majority for th.-lr respective Governors, ranging from 169 to 304 votes. Conservative Republicans, however, say that Bowerman will carry the county by at least 100 votes. Hawley will d.feat Smith in this county by about 3U0 votes It is conceded by both Republicans and Temocrats that Pen son and Crawford will lead the ticket in Douglas, while the Republican state candidates will carry the Bowerman vote. It is Impos sible to predict the result of the "wet" and "dry" fight other than both sides claim a victory. Strife Is keen here, and money Is being waged freely on the state candidates. JOEPHIYE ALL REPCBLICAX Wet and Dry right Most Bitter In Campaign. GRANTS PAS:. Or., Nov. . (Special) The dneir.g hours of the coming elec tion are tilled with much Interest. Great er discussions arise over "wet" or dry." JwrtUan linee are sharply drawn, with both elvie n the Beid filled with lec turers. At the last campaign the county carried "dry" by a majority of 3)3. Owing to Jackson County being "wet." the antts aseert tbe sentlmect has changed, while oa the o:her hand 4t are count ing noses of all Kastera settlers who will vole for the flnst time. The Kate ticket Interest has been lost slct t of and every tnlr.g renters upon the county ticket and prohibition. , Hawley will lead the state ticket with the largest majority.

Conditions have r.ot changed greatly since the primary when Bowerman carried the county by a substantial plurality. Hawley. for Con gress. Is also strong and will receive bet ter than hla party vote. Prohibition managers say Fv!k County wtil give a majority for statewide prohi bition, and that on the county local op tion question the county will go dry by Jf.0 votes. 10 voters more than the dry majority of two years sg-v Opponents of prohibition say. the county will not only defeat the proposed statewide law. but that It will reverse the small dry majority of two years ago and declare for stringent regulation of tbe liquor traffic by a majority ranging anywhere from t04 to 600 votes. BASER COCXTY WILL BE CLOSE Indications for West In Eastern Portion of State. BAKER, Or, Nqv. I. (Special.) With election but one day away, the situation in Baker County points to a very close fight for all offices, both state and county with one or two excep tions. The vote for Governor will be dose with the indication of a slight majority for West and for Congress, it is believed that Manning will poll more votes than Lafferty. In fact. It looks aa If Baker County would return a Democratio majority, probably very small on the whole state ticket, but even the most sanguine Democrats would not make the prediction too" strong, for the county Is too evenly divided to make safe a very certain forecast. For county officers, however, there will be a split, with the almost cer tain election of a Democratio Sheriff and County Clerk Combs, the present Democratic Incumbents, hare a large following and will be returned to office by a large majority, but J. B. Messtck. the present Democratic County Judge, Is looked upon aa certain to meet de feat at the hands of his Republican op ponent. Peter Basche. , These are the only county offices about which there Is much doubt. MED FORD WILL GO FOR WETS Political Situation in Jackson County Is Quiet. MEDFORD, Or.. Nor. . (Special.) Tbe political situation In Jackson on the eve of the election Is remarkably quiet. It Is generally conceded among the leaders of both parties that Oswald West will carry Jackson County by about S00. A fight Is expected over the Representative but Robert G. Smith, although a Democrat, probably will carry Jackson County because of his personal popularity, having; lived In this section all his life. The state ticket will go strongly Re publican, with Vonder Hellen Senator and Eggleston and Westerlund Repre sentatives. The county Is expected to go wet by a small majority. Ashland will rote dry, Jacksonville dry. but Medford will cast a large enough vote to carry the county. HAWLEY AXD BOWERMAX SCRE Yamhill County Going Republican With Wets Victors, Too. M'MINNVTLLE. Or.. Nov. . (Special.) A conservative estimate made by Chairman Conner, of the Republican County Central Committee, based upon advices received" from the different pre cincts, places the probRble majority of Bowerman and Hawley for Governor and Congressman at the coming election at from 300 to 600. this applying also to the entire Republican state ticket. While Yamhill County Is expected to give a large vote In favor of state pro hibition. It Is believed by many and some of the ardent prohibitionists themselves concede, that the 800 majority that the county gave to county prohibition two years ago will be quite materially re duced; that 600 probably will be the ma jority for the prohibition amendment at this election. L1XX COCXTT FIGHT BITTER Both West and Bowerman I -ay Claim to 200 Majority. ALBANY. Or., Nor. . (Special.) From present Indications) the vote on Governor will be very close In Linn County.

WASHINGTON FOR BOWERMAX Indications Are He and Hawley Will Have 4 00 Majority. HILLSBORO. Nov. 6. (Special.) Es timated results of next Tuesday's elec tion give Bowerman a lead over West of 400 and gives Washington County to ilawley for Congress by a rote of about 400. The Prohibition rote will be close within, with Indications favoring; ad verse sentiment on statewide prohibi tion. Tillamook Sees Republicans Win. TILLAMOOK. Or., Nov. (.(Special.) The Republican ticket will be generally supported by the Republicans of this county and It Is freely predicted that Bowerman will have a majority of about SCO to while Hawley prob ably will have a larger majority than that. Other candidate, on the Repub lican ticket will carry the county with a large majority. There Is a good deal of speculation as to whether the county will remain dry. but In all probability the county will go wet with a safe majority. ' Benton Xot Greatly Interested. CORVALLIS, Or, Nor. . (Special.) The ere of the e loot ion finds Utti In terest being taken In politics. From prospects Benton will give the follow ing majorities: Bowerman. for Gov ernor, 150: W. C. Hawley. Represen tative. 100: remainder of state ticket. SO; statewide prohibition, ISO. Bowerman Strong. In Lincoln. TOLEDO. Or, Nor. . (Special.)

BQWEBMAN IN LEAD Coos and Curry Counties to Give Him Majority. PROHIBITION MAY LOSE Indications in Two Counties Are That "Wets" Will Win Though Opponents Assert Contrary. Hawley to Carry Curry, MARSH FIELD. Or, Nov. . (Spe cial.) Fair estimates of the election next Tuesday give Bowerman a plurality of about 800 in Coos County. Some say that he will not get more than 600 plur ality. It Is thought that Hawley, for Congress, win get as much as 1000 plur ality. Hugh McLain, Democratic candi date for Railway Commissioner, will get almost a solid vote In this county on ac count of being a resident of this city. Otherwise the Republican state ticket will carry by from 600 to 800 In the county. It Is likely that statewide pro hibition will lose in this county. The local option vote Is close, but It Is esti mated the state and county wet tickets will carry by a possible 100. The drys assert they will win 1n the county. In Curry County Bowerman will get a majority of probably 100, the vote there being light. Hawley will also carry Curry County. Curry has been dry for a number of years, but there is a bare possibility of Its voting wet on the county proposition. No prohibitionists are registered there and the statewide prohibition probably will lose. Judge John S. Coke, of Coos, and Judge Hamilton, of Douglas, will carry both Coos and Curry for Circuit Judge. SCRATCHED TICKET EXPECTED-! Union Forecasts 250 Majority for Bowerman, 500 for Others. LA GRANDE, Or., Nor. 6. (Special.) In a county normally 600 Republican Bowerman and Lafferty are acclaimed victors In the county tonight, after an exhaustive tour and handshaking- trip by a half dozen local Republicans, by 150. The remainder of the ticket will. It Is believed, carry straight, and with the full Republican vote, with the pos sible exception of the Secretary's of fice on account of the fact that Turner Oliver lives here. Chairman Peare, Secretary Matott and others, giving the benefit of doubt In every Instance, see the gubernatorial and Congressional tickets winners by the figures named. The Democrat leaders, who tonight returned from a trip around the county, claim an even break. As to prohibition, the wets" claim victory by about 100. while the dry leaders count on 700 to the good. The farming vote, they say. Is almost unanimously for Prohibition. CLOSE RACE DUE IX CLATSOP West and Botverrnan Fighting; Laf ferty to Win by 500. ASTORIA. Or, Nor. (. (Special.) To give a reliable estimate on the vote of Clatsop County In the gubernatorial contest Is a difficult matter. Tbe county la normally Republican by a large ma jority, but West's former residence here and his personal acquaintances are having- their effect, and both the Re publican and Democratic leaders ad mit the contest will be close, each side laying claim to the county by from 100 to ISO rotes: for Representative, Lafferty will carry the county by prob ably 600 and the balance of the state ticket will go Republican by about the same plurality. While the Indications are that a heavy "dry" vote will be cast, especially In the country districts, the "wets" are expected to win by a majority of between 300 and 400 rotes. UMATILLA COUXTY DOUBTFUL Bowerman Will Carry by Less Than 800, Is Forecast. PENDLETON, Or, Nor. . (Special.) With the election but one day distant, estimates of the probable result of the vote for Governor and Representative in Umatilla County vary greatly. Bower man. however, probably will carry the county by loss than 200, while either Manning or Lafferty may win by a few votes. The remainder of the state ticket, with the possible exception of Judge Will R. King for the Supreme Bench, will be Republican by majorities of 1000 to 2500, posib!y more. King will run ferr ahead of Slater. From present Indications the county will remain dry by about 800. The dry majority at the last election was nearly 700. CLACKAMAS FOR BOWERMAX Democrats, However, Declare West Will Carry County. OREGON CITY. Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) Conservative Republican estimates give Jay Bowerman a majority of 100 to 150 in, Clackamaa County. The Democrats are confident that West will carry the county by a majority ranging from 200 to TOO, Hawley Is expected to carry Clack amaa by 400 and the remainder of the state ticket will have majorities of up ward of 1000. There Is a bard and bitter fight on the prohibition measures and the result is difficult to forecast. The Prohibitionists assert that the county Wll go dry by 200 votesv but the other side car not be con vinced and soy that the vote will be close, with a very small majority for the wet element. Morrow Is Bowerman Camp. HEPPNER, Or, Nor. 6. (Special.) Morrow County will go strong for Bow erman, probably giving him a plurality of 850. Lafferty It Is believed will carry the county by 450. Indications point to the defeat of pro hibition in the county by liO votes. Wheeler a to 1 Bowerman. FOSSIL. Or, Nor. . (Special.)
