NO. 21 fl ft S -OFFICIAL COUNT IS UNDER WA Number of Votes Counted and Cast at Primiary Unknown Until Ballot Boxes are Opened. Nn one iti Jackson county knows what l ho result ot the primary election hist Friday was, and uo one will know until t ho official count, scheduled to begin this afternoon, is finished. The county clerk, alone among county clerks of the state, is unable to say how many votes were cast in the county, how many any one candidate received or what the result was except in a guesswork way. TTe has no figured on the result and has not tabulated or kept the par tial returns he did receive. Fleet imi clerks are required to certify to a statement of the result in dupli cate in each precinct. One of these statements is posted at the polls and the other sealed in the ballot box and sent to the county clerk. The election clerk bringing the box in usually brings in sample ballots with the result of the vote written on them. In this election, however, many of the election clerks failed to bring in sample ballots so marked, so no effort was made by the county clerk to tabulate tiro re turns. The election clerk was asked Ylio result of the Dunn Kggleston con test, and if he did n t know, to guess nt it. These guesses were written down by the county judge or one of bis friends and form the basis of Mr. Dunn's claim that lie has been nomi nated by from 20 to 50 majority over Captain F.gglestnn. , When it was ap parent I hat Xewbury was overwhelm ingly defeated no further effort, was made to keep tali mi the returns in this contest. The result of the county judgeship fight, as well as the size of Cako 's, Mulkey's and other majorities will not .be known until Urn official ennnf. is matte public tomorrow. Cake Is Elected. II. M. Cake has defeated Charles W. Fulton for the republican nomination for I'nitetl States senator by n majority of approximately 22,"0 votes. Complete returns from eight, and incomplete re turns front 22 of (lie ."tit counties of the state, covering a total of more than three-fourths the entire vole, show that Cake has 'S.,Ht.',, against 20,P!I0 for Ful ton, or a lead of 27 1o. Nothing has been heard from Curry, Lincoln, Harney or Wheeler counties, but returns from these counties and the count on the remaining vote in the state at targe will nfo mate rially affect the result, though Mr. Cake's majority may go to oono. Mr. Cake has carried Baker, Clackamas, Co lumbia, Douglas. Jack son. Lake. Linn. Marion, Mult aoinah. Faint ilia, Fa ion. Wallowa. Wasco, Washington ami Vain hill enmities, a total of 1". while Mr. Fulton has been successful in Ttenton. 'latsop. ( 'oos. 'ronk. Oilliam, (Irani. Josephine, K la ma Hi, Lane. Malheur, Morrow, Folk. Sherman mid TiHnnio'ok countes, a total of 11. In several of these counties, however, the result is quite close and it may take the official count to show which candidate has pre vailed. It is probable that Fulton will carry Curry and Harney and possibly Wheeler. Lincoln is generally conceded lo Mr. Cake. The majority for Mr. Cake in Multnomah county is 2ol7. a decrease from the promise of the first returns. Other State Results. W. II.
