Balloting Heavy
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14 Thir
teen hundred and fifty-three precincts
out of 3700 in the state, more than
one-third of the total give:
Roosevelt, 56,908; Taft, 32,619; La
Follette, 21,181; Clark, 18,502; Wilson
8989
Roosevelt's majority in San Fran
cisco is estimated at 4000.
At the first Presidential preference
primary in which the women of Cali
fornia ever voted the state went over
whelmingly for Roosevelt on the Re
publican ticket and Clark on the Dem
ocratic ticket.
Taft ran a poor second and La Fol
lette a good third.
Only in San Francisco was the race
at any moment close. Even in North
ern California, where the Tatt man
agement relied for its strongest sup
port, the Colonel led the way. In Los
Angeles his vote was heavier than
that of both his rivals combined ,and
the Southland in general was his
stronghold, although San Diego gave
La Follette a plurality.
The San Francisco registration or
women was light, but the proportion
of those registered who voted was
heavy. When two-thirds of the pre
cincts had been counted the indica
tions were that the city had gone for
Roosevelt by more than 3000.
Returns received up to 9:30 o'clock
tonight from 583 out of 3700 precincts
in the state at large give the follow
ing: Roosevelt 26,722, Taft 16,303, La
Follette 9954, Clark 5974, Wison 2504
These returns were in the main
from the five Congressional districts
embracing the three most populous
districts of the state San Francisco
and"Lo3 Angeles counties and the su
burban area bordering San Francisco
Bay.
They are regarded as indicative of
the general result.
In San Francisco County, in which
were centered the hopes of the Taft
managers, the vote was closer. Three
hundred precincts complete out of
356: Roosevelt 15,425, Taft 12,648, La
Follette 6777, Clark 5419, Wilson 2374.
Outside of San Francisco Roose
vet apparently has carried every Con
gressional district, his vote being ap
preciably heavy in the interior coun
ties. All of the 26 delegates elected to
day were chosen at large and accord
ing to the state law they are bound

ence. GRANGE HEAD WOULD
SAFEGUARD ELECTIONS
ROSEBURG, Or., May 14 Urging
a more strict interpretation and en
forcment of the law limiting the
amount thtat may be spent by any
candidate for office to 15 per cent of
te salary for one year and advocating
a change in the system of assess
ment, C. E. S pence, master of the
State Gange, today made his annual
report to the State Grange in session
riere.
"We have a corrupt-practice act
which goes a long way in promoting
"honest elections by limiting the
amount that can be spent by and can
didate to 15 per cent of the salary
for one year," said Mr. Spence. "The
intent of this provision is to minimize
the influence of wealth upon our elec
tions and give a poor man an equal
chance with the rich in our elections.
"But the wily politician has found
a way to avoid the spirit of the law,
and in the late primary campaign the
rich friends of a candidate donated al
most $10,000 to advance his candid
acy. A poor man would not stand
as much show as the proverbial snow
ball in a campaign which was finan
ced in this manner.
"The law should be amended so as
to leave no doubt as to the 15 per
cent limit of all expenditures for a
. candidate. I believe that the law
should be amended to permit the vot
ers to express a first and second
choice of candidates and eliminate
the minority rule which we have at
present."

Evidently being of the opinion that
the hign school candidates in the
Morning and Weekly Enterprise con
test are ready to begin their best
work, inasmuch as school is nearing
a close, Miss McCord, who has been
in the lead for sometime with the
number Q votes polled, Tuesday add
ed another block of ballots to those
she had deposited in the ballot box,
which brings her total up to 170,200.
This is fine work, Miss McCord,
and the Contest Manager appreciates
your efforts. You have not only de
monstrated that you are a worker,
but you are demonstrating daily that
you do not believe in taking chances.
You ara setting a pace that will be
somewhat difficult to follow, but the
ease with which you are obtaining
votes at this late day when one would
have supposed you had received the
assistance of every friend is an il
lustration of what the others might
do if they would work as hard as you.
But this statement is a little prema
ture, for, really, no one knows what"
they are actually doing The fact that
you lead by a big margin in the num
ber of votes polled is no sign you
have the most votes. As the manag
er has frequently said, each candi
date has a clearly defined plan of
campaign. Miss McCord probably
thinks it the wiser policy in polling
her votes as she acquires them, while
others unquestionably believe there
is much merit in keeping their
strength, under cover.
In concluding this little talk the
Contest Manager wants to warn each
candidate, no matter whether she be
Miss McCord, with what is unques
tionably a large lead in the number
of votes polled ,ore some of the oth
ers who have more votes held in re
serve than she has polled, the race
is anybody's as yet. It is easy to get
subscriptions for the Morning and
Weekly Enterprise, and many a vote
will be polled in the few weeks that
remain before the final count. A word
to the wise is sufficient; keep on
working, do not get discouraged, for
let it be remembered that the quali
ties you reveal in this little contest
will be the ones that will make for
you success or failure in the great
struggle of life.
MEETS WITH FAVOR
To obtain more general and better
results President Bushnell, of Vern
on Presbyterian Brotherhood, of Port
land, at a banquet given by the Pres
byterian Brotherhood, of Oregon City,
Tuesday evening suggested that a un
ion of the various brotherhoods
throughout the state be formed. He
said the proposed union would be ab
le to assist in purifying politics and
much other work that cannot be ac
complished by the organizations sep
arately. The suggestion was discuss
ed by the members and it was unan
imously agreed that it was a good one'
and the union pobably will be organ
ized this summer. Others who spoke
were C. Schuebel and the Rev. J. R.
Landsborough. The banquet was
largely attended and one of the most
enthusiastic ever given by the Broth
erhood. The women of - the ithurch
provided la delicious dinnejr, and
beautiful music was furnished by the
DesLarzos Orchestra.
The time to read the Mornins En

MILITARY FUNERAL IS PLANNED
Young Man Disappeared Day Troops
Broke Camp And Became
Lost In Dense
Woods
F. A Miles, deputy sheriff, said
Tuesday that he believed the skeleton
found near Columbia Beach was that
of his son, George, who mysteriously
disappeared August 14, 1911, while
the troops were encamped there. Mr.
Miles with William Shannon, corpor
al of Company G, of which Miles was
a member, and Cal Price, a member
of the company left for Astoria Tues
day night. A telegram was received
by Mr. Miles from the coroner at As
toria giving the information that the
skeleton was thought to be that of
his son. The skeleton was found by
a party of real estate men Monday
afternoon in the timber about a mile
from the Lewis and Clark River and
about five miles from where the
young man was last seen by anyone
who knew him. Members of the
company say the young man wander
ed from camp whie suffering from
mental aberration, and the theory is
that ne got lost in the timber and
perished. '
The national guardsman disappear
ed the day . before the' company broke
camp and although a thorough search
was made for him, no trace was
found. Upon the return of the com
pany to this city, Mr. Miles, Captain
Hidy and several other members of
the company went to Columbia Beacn
and searched the entire neighborhood
for the young man. .Upon his return
Mr. Miles said he was confident his
son had become lost in the timber or
swamps in the neighborhood. The
coroner promised to notify him if a
bodywas found. A strange coinci
dence is that the skeleton was found
exactly nine months after the man
disappeared.-
If the body is that of young Miles
it will be given a military funeral.
