SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 3. 1904. -, ' .NUMBER 127 it) .i MORNING t r THE PRIMARIES HELD YESTERDAY Moody Peopie Claim a Complete Victory While ' V nc Williamson People Claim an Equal ' Division. ' '- The rapablimn primaries passed off quietly in this oity yesterday. The Moody people ol.im they will ooatrol the convention oext Saturday ' biting their claim upon toe feat the' out of a total oi 93 delegates eleoted in tbe county, SHure Moody delegates with Kamela Starkey and 'Carson witn a total of 6 deligWa yet to hear from. XI It be a faet that toe Moody people already have 69 delegates tbey undoubtedly wiltbsve control of the convention aa 47 would be a majority. On tbe other hand the Williamson people oliim thst tber- will be about an equal division in the convention and that (he elate defegaiion 'wi:l pto- bablj go to tbe elate convention uo instruoted. .s-;- Tbe aignifipanoo i f tbe delegation from tli iai eounty ao far aa Moody and Williamson- ere .cuoaerned depends upon the strength wbicb Mr Moody is able to muster in other counties out side of Multnomah,--It is barely i pos sible that he may have sufficient strength outside of Multnomah to nominate him lor congress and it is also possible that if be' can go into tbe convention with a considerable flrengtb from the smaller counties he may be able to cause a break in : the ranks of tbe Mjltoomah delegation and thus secure tbe nOMiinaiuu. But tbeaa are matters of speculation and tims will tall. However a good oounty ticket will be nominated at Elgin next Saturday wbiob should receive- tit lopport of every republican in the oounty. - If this is done republicans cab be elected to every offioe in the eounty. .
