Abraham Is Defeated Stanfield by More Than Two to One. by KOZER FIRST FOR SECRETARY Buchtel Is More Than Two-to-One Favorite for Serv ice Commission. At midnight, upon the basis of complete returns from several coun ties and incomplete returns from all other counties except two small ones, Johnson and Wood were running neck and neck outside of Multnomah county. At that hour, however, Johnson had a lead of more than 3 500 votes over Wood in Multnomah county. While the result was still in doubt, the indications were favor able for .Johnson as the plurality choice for presidential candidate of Oregon republicans. The vote as herein given was com plete for all but about 30 precincts in Multnomah out of a total of 413, and the entire vote was probably more than 60 per cent of that cast in the state as a whole. Missing Figures Scattered. Due to the fact that the missing figures were scattered among dis tricts of varying sentiment as be tween the two candidates, the out look that Wood could make up the gap between him and Johnson was not particularly bright for the Wood supporters. The figures counted at midnight gave Johnson a lead over Wood of 1759, and of this lead all but 121 was from Multnomah county, Relative Standings Given. The vote on all candidates stood Presidential preference,, repub Jican: Johnson 37,428. Wood 35,669. Lowden 12,908. Hoover 12,305. For vice-president, .

To gain some idea of the primitive nature of Portland in those days, one must remember that Broadway, the present main artery of the city, was the western edge of the town and that Tenth street was considered far distant from the em bryo city. '? The first census of Portland?- was taken in 1S50 when 821 persons were counted as being residents of the town. At the time this enumeration was taken the city was the original townsite of 16 city blocks, but a year later it was enlarged to include a square mile of territory, whereas to day the city of Portland includes ap proximately 66 square miles.

M'ADOO PLACED IN DISCARD Wilson's Oregon Telegram Causes Reaction. NEW YORK IS HOSTILE Palmer's Fortunes Not Elevated by Recession of Former Secre tary of Treasury. BY MARK SULLIVAX. Copyriht. J20. by New Tork Evening fomt, Jnc Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, May 22. The demo cratic situation has changed again. Being- wholly a matter of leaders and not a matter o primaries. It Is easy for the democratic situation to change. The naming of the democratic can didate is within the power, broadly speaking, of the 52 members of the national committee, plus as many other leaders, official or unofficial, as would make a total of. roughly, 100. The consequence is that what is spoken of as "the democratic situa tion changes as the minds of these men change, livery once in a while some of them come together ir. Wash- ngton, formally and informally, and exchange views and information. In proportion as their information varlct. and their views change, the demo cratic situation shirts. Last February it was ail Palmer. From a week or two weeks ago it was all McAdoo. To- aay it is all Cox. It may shift again before the convention meets, in fact it is fairly certain to be strongly af fected by what the republicans do. But as it is today, the outstanding xactors are two; first, a complete about-face from the recent intent'on to name McAdoo, and, second, a strong consensus .of feeling In favor of Cox. WlUon'a Telegram Resented. There is a reason .for the change of front on McAdoo. One day last week President Wilson gave out his -Oregon telegram. Insisting that the dem ocrats must condemn the Lodge res ervations to the league of nations, must stand by the league in its orig inal iorm, ana must guarantee "the territorial integrity" of the nations of Europe. The net effect of this tel egram on the democratic leaders throughout the country is one of re sentment and hostility; and they are now disposed to give expression to their feeling against Wilson's act by refusing the nomination to his son-in-law. In this there is not much logic but there is emotion. And for the moment It is emotion that is mov ing the democratic leaders.. Not all the democratic leaders were offended by the Wilson telegram. A few really believe as he does about the league, and a few others th'nk that whatever their convictions as to the league may be it is good party policy to stand by the president. But the bulk of the democratic-leaders are 1 outraged by Air. Wilson's act. They think he is considering himself alone; that he is looking primarily to making a record for posterity, and that he is leaving out of consideration the im portant matter of electing democrats to congress this year, which may not mean much to posterity, but, in their view, is the immediate business ot the present generation of democrats, m York Hostile to MeAdoo. At the present moment the dem ocratic organization of McAdoo's own state. New York, is implacably hostile to him. They may shift this attitude again before the convention meets. Kither through change of feeling or for other motives, they may yet de cide to give their votes to the candi- (Concluded on Page tt. Column!.)
