-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.

We reali.e that society is divided
into t wo distinct classes and that the
class struggle is a conflict over the
division of the product of labor. This
conflict must ever exist as long as the
present system of private ownership of
the means of producing the necessities
of life endures. We declare ours to be
the organization of the working class
and those in sympathy with them, into
a polit ical parly for t he purpose of
capturing the powers of government, in
order that the producing class may re
cei ve t ho full product of t heir labor,
lint in order that the workers may the
sooner gain political control, we favor
all iiiiiuediale measures which will aid
them in their contest.
"As a menus to this end we favor
I he following measures:
"I. We demand t hat nil property
be assessed at its full cash value, nud
Ih.-it we favor a graduated income tax.
"2. We demand the re enact nient. of
the householders' exemption law, where
by .500 of personal property shall be

ci;il lax for the purpose of maintain
iug good roads throughout the county
and that 50 per cent of tho money so
cured by said lax shall be used on

" I. We favor the conl met ion of
electric power plants for the purpose
of supplying heal, light and power, and
t he const riicl ion of elect l ie railways
for I lie means of transportation.
"5. We favor the eight hour Work
day for labor, the abolition of the con
t riicl. system on all public work, that
all work be directed by the proper
county officials and having wages be
paid all county employes.
"li. We favor the building of com
inodioiis schoolhoiiKcs in each district
in the county and the use of a uniform
set of textbooks Illld the increase id'

wiped from the face of the earth, tl
was a costly victory for the oil king.
and Melin yielded only for the sake of
his wife and baby and his own health.
Por years he has been the only one
among all the :t00 persons formerly own
ing lil.te homes und farms in ami
around Pocuntico Hills who has refused
to give way before the templing offers
of the oil king. Rockefeller had bought
up over oOtiit acres all around him, but
this obdurate Melin, with his tiny lot.
50 by 100 feel, almost within a stone's
t hmw of t he new :i,oi)f,imo mansion,
now nearly completed, balked all I he
Rockefeller 's plans.
Night after night the village "cut

tricks on Ichnbod Crane, assembled in

BALD FOR THIRTY YEARS,
GROWS FINE THATCH
COLI'MIU'S, X. .1., April 20. Henry
'ilhcrl, 7 years old, of this place, is
a ptix.lo to his neighbors and to local
physicians. A ft or remaining bald for
:!0 years, (filbert has blossomed out this
spring with a new crop of hair that
rovers his entire cranium.
A peculiar thing about Oilbert 's bald
iicks wtis its perfection, not a single
blade of hair having appeared to shel
ter his pale ill the last three decades.
Oill.ert lost his hair after a fever. What
has caused it suddenly to return In is
at a great loss to explain, as are the
doctors.
Oilbert says lie used hair tonic for
years, until he had spent a small for
tune in a useless search for a cure, lie
does not believe the hair tonic had (he
right effect after a lapse of ten years,
and he is eipmlly certain that he is not
going into his second childhood.
The new hair has just a truce of gray
mixed with dark locks, and iilbert
looks a ipuirter cent nry younger t han
he did a year ago.
