ROSEBURU, OREGON, THIKSDAV EVENING, NOVEMBER 7 1012. No. 218. i i in i n Prohibitionists Victorious In Roseburg by 117 WOMAN SUFFRAGE CARRIES Capital Punishment Upbeld, Single T.i Downtd Lane Probably Ei-cted Senator Reselling will continue Prohibition for two years lunger, nt least. Com pletion of tin? count of the entire vote of the city late last night Bhowed that the "drys" had won by a ma jority of 117, verifying The Review's prediction on election day that the margin in favor of the "drys" would be between 100 and 200. The four precincts comprising the city gave the "drys" Gil! votes and the "wets" 4'jti. The grand total of 1109 votes cast on the ((uestion Is 1 :" 3 less than the pre-election registration. All four precincts contributed to the ri-ohihltion victory. In Hamil ton the result was the closest. 152 to 117. a difference of only fi. Deer (.'reek rolled up the largest margin for the "drys," 4 7, the vote being 3 22 to 7!). Roseburg was next, 14o to 100, a difference of :i'J, and Uuip nn.i was third 1 1 4 to 10X eivinir 20 thu best of it tu the "drys." No Change On Candidates. Incoming returus since yesterday from different parts of the county have not changed any names In the list of winners previously announced, li. l' Nichols, Republican candidate for Representative, has a safe ma jority, but his running mate, Joseph T. bridges, of Oakland, has been de feated by a very small margin by Rev. .1. K. Howard, of Olendale, the Democratic candidate, who was un. successful two years ago. George Neunei's majority over l' 11. Waite for Slate Senator passed the 1400 mark this afternoon, with three pre cincts yet to hear from. O. C. Brown has beaten Thunuan Chaney for I I I r Hi ti rm l- ilv 'ill 1 yi vAi it, i : if Hfftl ft HI 1 y ' k 11 school superintendent by nearly 800, and B. 11. Plnkston's lead over M. R. Ryan for County Commissioner will total close to 400. Sheriff Qulne's plurality over B. Fenton may exceed 500 when final returns are In. District Attorney Brown has been re-elected by a surprisingly largo ma jority over W. W. Cardwell. All of Coos County, except three Isolated precincts, gave him a plurality of 940, accordiugUo a telephone mes sage which he received from Marsh field this morning. The same mes sage also Bald that Drown was c.head In Curry County and will probably win there by 150, at the least. Doug las County will give him a plurality of about 400. Drown Is assured of not less than 1400 plurality In the whole district. John T. Long, the Democratic nominee, has probably run behind E. L. Cannon, the So cialist candidate. Cannon Is reported to be running second to llrown In Curry County and to have polled a heavy vote 111 Coos. It Ib believed, however, that when the count is com pleted for the entire district that he will be In third place, behind W. W. Cardwell. Douglas for Wilson nml Lnnr. In common with nearly all the rest of the United States, Roseburg went to Wilson for President, with Taft second and Roosevelt third. Wilson's plurality over Taft Ib 51. Taft leads Roosevelt by 108. Wilson has car ried the county by about 300, with second place In doubt, although the chances favor Taft. For United States Senator, Selling carried Roseburg by 6 voles over Lane. Bourne was a poor third. I.ano has probably carried the county by between 50 and 100. Returns from all but four precincts late this afternoon gave him a lead of 05 over bis Republican rival. A telephone message received from l.ane in Port Uind this afternoon said he was 1300 ahead in Multnomah County and 500 ahead In the state outside of that countv. With this combined lead of 1800 and approximately 80 per cent of the state returns In, Lane's elec tion seems to be a certainty. Wilson has carried Oregon by a majority estimated at over 7000. It Is nip and tuck between Taft and Roosevelt for second place. HoW Roseburg Voted. .Tohn W. Campbell, the Bull Moose candidate for Congress from Rose burg fared poorly In Ms nome cuy. lie received 151 votes, just 100 less iimn that cast for R. G. Smith, the Democratic nominee, over whom lluwley was given a plurality of 228. A I A il'll4 i' i : J lit vsf v r : attiii".c Campbell run behind Smith nearly all over the district. C. L. Reames, Democratic nominee for Joint Representative, won Rose burg by 10 votes over C. E. Whisler, his Republican and anti-equal suff rage opponent. Whisler has carried the county, however, by not less than 300, but Reames counteracted this lead by beating Whisler in their home county of Jackson by a plu rality estimated at 1000. Jackson County suffragists worked hard to encompass Wlilsler's defeat. For Representative. RoBeburg gave Nichols 449, Bridgea 358, Dr. E. V. Hoover 398 and Rev. J. K. Howard 332. Although he ran last in this city, Howard leads both Hoover and Bridges In the county sufficiently to Insure his election. For State Sena tor, Neuner secured a majority of 506 in this city over Walte, a ratio) of over 3 to 1 by the comparison of : their respective votes. District Attorney Brown carried I Roseburg by 107 plurality over Card- well. Cannon was third with 182' and Long fourth with 122. Qulne's plurality over Fenton for Sheriff was 123. For Commissioner, Ryan got 5 votes more than Piukston In tho city. O. C. Brown's plurality over Chaney for school superintendent Is 2.19. ! R. W. Mnrsters was re-elected Jus tice of the Peace over E. J. llrown, Socialist, by 558 majority. Ed. Singleton defeated Fred Wright for constable by 79. G. L. Prior, the Socialist candidate, polled 207 votes. Although Roseburg gave a ma jority of 302 for the county high school fund measure, the fate of the proposed law In tho county as a whole Is In doubt. Some preclncta favor It. others opposed It, and It appears that only a final couut will decide the question. Roseburg also held thumbs down on the seven murderers In the Ore gon penitentiary under sentences of death by voting against the measure providing for the abolition of capital punishment. The "nays" have a ma jority of 238. This will be Increased at least two-fold by the county In its entirety. The graduated single tax bill was voted down hero over 3 to 1 and It met a like fate In nearly all other precincts. The county Blngle tax measure lost in the city by only 125 and there Is a 'possibility that it may i have carried In the county, not be-1 cnuse It Ib favored by a majority of the voters, but because of the nega tive manner in which It was stated on the ballot. yoursoir to a good position a iiosl tfon conimiMiHiirute with your ability.

SIMON CAR0 Wilson Assured of 439 Voles Id Electoral College ROOStVELT WILL HAVE 77 Illinois, Kansas and Maybe Wyoming Added to Democratic List LoDfswurin Beaten (Special to the Evening Review). NEW YORK, Nov. 7. That Woodrow Wilson will have 439 votes In tho electoral college is the latest indication. Wyoming's three votes will probably bo added to this, hut nn orflclul count of the state mny be necessary. Wilson's electoral vote Is unprecedented In the history of the country. Roosevelt will get 77. He has lost Illinois and Kansas, but gained Minnesota. Wilson's popular plurality will exceed 2,500,000. The Socialists lost their only Congress man, Berger. but gained in party numbers. They elected three mem bers to the Illinois Legislature. Their leaders claim the party polled 800.- 000. If the Democrats get two ol the three doubtful states, Oregon and Wyoming, they will control the Sen ato. The personnel of the next Cabinet will be decided during the visit of Wilson aud his wife nt Bermuda. They leave New Jersey November 16. to be gone two weeks. A private yacht has beeu placed at their dis posal. Wilson is planning to present a reform program to the New Jersey Legislature after New Year's. DEBS VIEWS Fl'Tl'HE THROIT1II SMOKED GLASSES.

THE LEADER MASSACRE FEARED Occupation of Constantinople by Allies Imminent TURKS BUTCHER CHRISTIANS Steamer Lost on Rocks In Si. Lawrence River, Bat 1114 Persons on Board are S red (Special to The Evening Review). PARIS, Nov. 7. News of the cap ture of Constantinople Is momentari ly expocted. It Is conceded that a Christian mnasacre will follow occu pation by the allies. Constantinople reports that the Sultan Is preparing to transfer the capital to Ilruia, Asia Minor. TurklBh butchery of bund reds of Christians In Roodesto Is con firmed. Women and children were thrown Into the flames of burning homes. Bulgaria Is giving the broken Turkish army no time to recuperate. In accordance with the tactics adopted throughout the war, the Bul garians are following up the defeated Turks with extraordinary energy. Flying columns are pushing along the sea coaBt towards the Tehatalja lines, and It Is believed the main at tack will be delivered tomorrow or Friday. Constantinople appears to have lost hope of stemming the victorious advance even at Tehatalja and the Turkish court Is ready to cross Into Asia. Apparently, however, tho Bul garian government has no designs on Constantinople Itself and would be ready to conclude pcaco provided Turkey agrees to surrenders Adrlan ople and some other positions In the western theator of war and give a guarantee to bring no more reinforce ments from Asia. The porte shows no disposition to . treat for peace direct with the allies and until the big Tehatalja battle has been fought, the diplomatic situation Is not likely to be changed. The Turkish army commanded by Nnslm PaBhn was completely crushed In the great battle of the last two days on the Serai, Tchorlu line. Ac cording to the semi-official Mir, the Turks lost In klllod and wounded moro than double the loss at Lule Burgas. SCl'TARI f'EELlNO IIORRORS OP SIEGE I1Y MONTENEGRINS. BIIDA PBST, Nov. 7.
