A VERY WET ELECTION Balfour Wins by Small Margin. WEST DEFEATS B0WERMAN Lafferty Win in Callopr-Judge Brttdshaw Succeeds Himself. Prineville, Crook county and the state of Oregon are wet, very wet. Although the polls did not open until eight o'clock Tuesdar, the weather man opened the bsce by a good rain on Monday and kept the wet program on the move during Tuesday, for which reason there is talk ol prosecuting him (or violating the corrupt practices act. Prineville wt nt wet bv 54 vote. Redmond, Madras and Bend fol- lowed by about equal majorities while Warm Springs went dry by 15 votes. Howard is tbe strong- bold ol the wets, the total 10 votes going for tbe saloon. Most ol the country precincts gave the drys the best of it, although there are a number not heard from. Indica tions point to the fact that tbe county will give the wets a plural ity of 200 votes. This vote is on the county prohibition, and while there are very few figures on the Home Rule measure, it is a safe guess that this will carry by about tbe same majority. Returns from tbe state indicate a wet victory by 10,000 majority. Incomplete returns on state and district offices in Crook county give the following figures: Laffer ty, 516, Manning, 319, Eowerman, 432, West, 482. While this eives West a plurality of 50 votes for governor, it is a good guess that he will add 100 to that number when the final count is made for the reason that tbe towns are all in tbe count given here, and these gave Bowerman a lead. The coun try precincts are generally giving their votes to West. For State Superintendent, Alder man is leading at this time by 150 votes and Duniwav has a oluralltv of 175 lor state printer. for superintendent of water dt- CoDtiDued oo last page. : Absolutely Pure Royal is the only baking powder made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar , Highest in Leavening Efficiency No Alum lYo lime Phosphate nq t i 3 j
