Victorious Opponent
In the great battle of ballots,
some one must go down to defeat,
and any candidate who is not will
ing to cheerfully accept the verdict
of the American voters should not
enter the race. The campaign Just
closed has been full of intense Inter
est, with many amusing instances,
that were not out of keeping with
the average political campaign, but
there should be no wounds mat will
not heal with time. I wish to take
this opportunity of expresing my
thanks to those who were active in
mv camnaien. and to the votrs of
all parties who considered me worthy
of their support. In tne re-election
of Senator Eddy. Douglas county
can be assured of faithful represen

led to the hearty support of every
citizen of the county, to the end that
the best Interests of Douglas coun
ty may be safeguarded, and with his
manv friends, who have won the
victory for his re-election, I wish to
extend my sincere congratulations.

With three precincts outstanding
at noon today, the election results on
the various campaigns were practi
cally settled. The three outstanding
were Reedsport, Scottsburg and
Drew. The ballot box for Drew was
brought In without the statement be
ing returned as provided by law, this
violation being very common, as the
Judges and clerks, as well as deputy
sheriffs, give 111 tin attention to the
provisions of the election laws In this
regard. It Is specifically provided
that a stntement must be returned
outside the ballot box. but Instead
of doing this many election ntilclals
seal everything Inside the box and
consequently prevent any check
which might be made at. this end.
The person who was supposed to
phono to the News-Review from
Drew failed to do so. but this might
have been bocaute of wire conditions,
as Tiller was unable to call Roseburg
yesterday except over the govern
ment line. A resident of Drew has
promised to mail in a copy of the re
turns and this should be received
this afternoon. There are 31 votes
registered at Drew and this number
Is divided with 27 republicans and
four democrats, consequently the re
sults will be little affected.
Nothing was received from Scotts
burg before noon. A messenger was
reported on the way to the city wilh
the ballot box and up his arrival the
returns from that precinct will
doubtless be available. On account
of poor telephone communication
with Scottsburg, nothing was taken
over the wire. There are 90 voles
in Scottsburg. 67 being registered as
republicans and 33 as democrats.
Reedsport was still counting at an
early hour this morning. There were
623 votes registered at Reedsport
and 616 were cast. At 6 o'clock last
niglit 300 votes had been counted.
Long was leading Stearns by a big
vote. Stunner was ahead of Pearce,
and Riddle was leading Lenox by 16
votes.
The three precincts not In repre

which number possibly 625 votes
were cast.

For state senator, Kddy won over
McClintock by ovor 600 votos. They

in tholr respective standings. Thin
race was particularly interesting
when returns first came In. Pot
many hours it was a "hon ruru," us

with first one candidate and then
another ahead. The outlying pre

for Kddy, and gradually his lead was;

over 1000 majority over Pearce. At
first this race closely resembled the
primary contest for this office when
the winner received a plurnllty of
only five votes. A surprise was
sprung on the public In this contest,
for it had been generally cxrected
that Pearce 'a strength would lie in
the country districts and that Starin
er would lead In the city. The con
trary proved to bo the case, however,
for IVarce ran stronger in the city
than in the country. The totals re
ceived up to noon wore Pearce 2710,

settled. At the last count with only

slated, Kiddle was leading by a very
small number at Pwlsport. In thr
event the two candidates break even
In (he other precincts, which are
strongly republican, Riddle Is as
mired of election, which has been
practically cnncmled. . The totals at
noon-were Riddle 3.(00, Lenox 3220
For county assessor. Calkins had
little opposition In the person or
Chapman. Although It Is possible
that Chapman will run high In his
home precinct, of Reedsport, even if
he received a unanimous vote It
would not be sufficient to overcome
the present Incumbent's h'ad, which
amounts to over 2500 votes.
Frear has also captured the race
for county surveyor by a big major
ity over Wright, the democratic can
didate. The names of Rrown and Coshow
were written In freely on thf Imllms
of Douglas county voters I rown Is
assured of election to the supreme
bench, but present Indidiitlnns are
that Coshow Is defeated. VanWInkle
polled a heavy vote In and around
Portland and his leud thero win
probably defeat Cochow. who will
get a fairly large vote from Lane nnd
Douglas counties.

NEWS-REVIEW GRATEFUL
Viiieti to KxpresM Tluiulu to All
Those in Various Pmt of the
County Who Assisted In
Obtaining the I ten u Its.
The value of a newspaper for the
collection and issuance of Informa
tion was clearly exemplifiei Tuesday
and Wednesday when the election re
turns began to pour In. ror over 24
hours there was not a period of more
than two minutes when the off ca
was not busy collecting or dispensing
information concerning the election.
Klection returns were received in
better time this year than ever be
fore. The early arrangements made
by the office and the co-operation ex
tended by residents of the county
united in the setting of a new record
tor securing electiou results, for
practically every precinct was re
ceived within 15 minutes after the
election board had tabulated the
votes.
The check on county officers was
kept up to date at all times, and
within 24 hours after the polls closed
all except three precincts had been
reported and these precincts were
Reedsport, Scottsburg and Drew.
Reedsport was still counting voles at
an early hour this morning, and con
sequently the results from there
woro not obtainable
The News-Keview wishes at this
time io thank all those who so gen
erously assisted in gathering returns.
Without the assistance of many men
and women who gave a great deal of
(heir time to the task of securing
and transmitting the totals, the of
fice would have been unable to give
such accurate Information to all resi
dents of the county at such an early
date. This service Is greatly appre
ciated. The News-Review also wishes to
thank the telephone operators. Cen
tral getH a good many kicks, but with
thousands of telephone messages re
ceived from all parts of the county,
the News-Review can find no cause
for complaint In the way the tele
phone girls performed their work and
the assistance rendered at the local
exchange and In out of the way toll
stutlons, located In all parts of the
county, where messages were re
layed, a great service was performed,
for which this office Is exceedingly
grateful.
Another "thank you" la due Mr.
Ray Clarke, of the U nip qua Hotel.
With the telephone busy every min
ute, with all avallablo hands posting
and bulleting returns more rapidly
i ha u they were ever received before,
there was no tiiuo for the men who
had been .working all night to quit
the Job. The reporter at the tele
phone was kept on duly for almost
24 hours doing nothing but receiv
ing reports from all parts of the
county and answering questions for
thousiinds of people who were anx
ious to learn the trend of the elec
tion. There was not time for rest
and the reporter tucked away a cor
ner of his heart for Mr. fluke when
that thoughtful gentleman sent a
waller from the Vmpqua Hotel din
ing room with a trayTuI of steaming
hot food and a thermos bottle hi led
wllh some of the best coffee ever
inade to relieve that hungry feeling
whtrh had been pressing for a good
many hours.
During Tuesday night and all day
Wednesday, telephone calls were re
ceived from every part of the stale
ind county, giving or asking returns
on the election. Thousands of peo
ple called the office asking, "How is
he election going?" and in every in
stance the office had the latest and
most complete returns ready to give.
The News-Review feels wHl pleased
wllh the wh- the returns were
handled and is proud of the record
established for prompt and careful
service in informing the people of
Douglas muniy of the complete re
