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

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

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.

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

the voters, but because of the nega

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

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
