2 PRECINCTS GO DRY.
Right in keeping with the many
other surprises sprung on the
people of Clackamas County,
Canby and Estacada both voted
"dry". These were the only two
precincts in the county where
the ljquor question was an issue,
and the result was received with
quite a demonstration when the
Enterprise bulletins flashed the
results from its windows Tues
day evening. In both precincts
it was a clean-cut victory for the
"Prohis." .

Thomas R. Marshall, Vice-President-Elect
of the United States.
Taft or Roosevelt were matters of
conjecture. It was certain, however,
that Illinois' would give an overwhelm
ing majority to Roosevelt, while the
race in Pennsylvania was so close
as to bring all these candidates with
in range of success.
Early returns gave Woodrow Wil
son and Governor Marshall the "solid
South'1 and the states of Connecticut,
Deleware, Kentucky, Maine, Mary
land, Massachusetts, New York, West
Virginia, Indiana and Missouri. As
the night advanced and returns from
the West began to come in, the ear
lier counts were confirmed and Mon
tana, New Jersey and New Mexico
were added to those that seemed cer
tain 'for the Democratic candidates,
while scattering returns from San
Francisco and Los Angeles made it
probable that California might join
the Wilson-Marshall column.
Folowing is a resume in a nutshell
of returns from various states:
Alabama Usual Democratic majorities.
Arizona Wilson has good lead;
woman suffrage appears to have car
ried state.
California Wilson leads and his
manager claims state by 20,000.
Colorado Reports indicate Wilson
will carry state by 42,000 over Taft
with Roosevelt close third.
Connecticut Wilson carries state.
Deleware Wilson carries Deleware
by good plurality.
Idaho Wilson leads on early re
turns. Illinois Roosevelt carries state by
15,000. Wilson second. Democrats
elect Governor.
Indiana Democratic with Roosevelt
apparently second.
Iowa Seems to have been carried
by Roosevelt; Wilson second.
Kansas Carried by Wilson. No
state candidates voted on.
Maine Success of Democratic elec
toral ticket apparent from three
fourths count, Wilson having 5000
lead over Roosevelt.
Massachusetts State Democratic for
President, first time in history. Gov
ernor Foss re-elected. Democrats
seem to have made slight gain in
Congress.
Michigan Scattering and incom
plete returns indicate Roosevelt has
a good plurality.
Minnesota Democrats claim state
on early returns by 25,000.
Missouri Scattering returns indi
cate Wilson has carried state.
Montana Apparently Democratic.
Nebraska Senator Hitchcock claims
state for Wilson by 35,000.
Nevada Returns give Wilson a
good lead. Roosevelt second.
New Hampshire Taft has slight
lead.
New Jersey Wilson carries New
Jersey by a safe plurality. The count
is slow.
New Mexico No returns as yet.
New York For Wilson by from
150,000 to 200,000.
North Dakota Wilson leads strong
ly. Republican candidate for Govern
or leads.
Ohio Wilson leads in Ohio.
Oregon L.ong ballot makes returns
extremely slow.
Pennsylvania In doubt at a late
hour.
Rhode Island Taft leads on meag
er returns.
South Dokota Wilson leads, with
Roosevelt a close second.
Utah Seems to have been carried
by President Ta'ft.
Vermont Taft wins by 924 votes
over Roosevelt on first count. Wil
son third.
West Virginia Wilson leads on
meagre returns.
Wisconsin State goes into Wilson
I column.
I Wyoming Taft leads on meagre
returns.
More than 100 persons thronged the
side walk on the West side of Main
Street Tuesday evening to view the
election returns thrown from the Morn
ing Enterprise on a screen on the
Stevens building. The sidewalk and
part of the street were crowded until
long past midnight between Sixth and
Seventh Streets. It was by far the
most satisfactory service ever given
in Oregon City the Morning Enter
prise being the first newspaper out
side of Portland to give the election
returns on a screen. As an instance
of how the service was received rep
resentatives of several mercantile
firms called at the Enterprise office
and insisted that they be allowed to
display advertisements on the screen.
Despite the rain and delays in re
ceiving returns the crowd was ,a good
natured one, and everyone had a good
time. The photographs of local can
didates and ''take offs" on candidates
were thoroughly appreciated and
cheered. It is doubtful if there ever
was a larger crowd on one block on
I Main Street before as there was be
j tween Sixth and Seventh last night.
I The enterprise of the Enterprise was
! thoroughly appreciated.
JUDGE CAMPBELL TO BE

of the West Side Improvement Club
to be held tomorrow night at the West
Side School house. All members are
urged to be in attendance. The new

E IS BEATEN;
WILSON WINS STATE
On the face of meagre returns from
upstate and comparison of figures
with the nearest; complete returns
I from Multnomah County, Oregon there j
I is a doubtful state on President, with !
: chances favorable that Woodrow Wil
I son, the Democratic candidate, will
I get the electoral vote.
The returns have a more definite
aspect, however, on United States
Senator and indicate a disastrous de
feat of Jonathan Bourne, with Ben
Selling and Harry Lane running together.
If it happened it Is In the Enter-
I prise.
Woodrow Wilson, President-Elect of the United States, wife and three
daughters.
Clackamas Southern Railway Com
pany Issues Letter
"To the People of Clackamas County:'
The Clackamas Southern Railway Co. will be ready
to begin laying the track from Oregon City to Beaver
Creek, as soon as the rails arrive that have been ordered.
We desire to lay them down immediately and ballast the
tract so that we can begin to bring in logs and cord-wood
and make the road pay from the very start. We haye
more than $53,000.00 of stock subscribed that is unused,
but this we are unable to use except for grading and
bridges, under our contracts with the subscribers.
It will require $10,000.00 to lay the steel and ballast
the road from Oregon City to Beaver Creek, and in ord
er to do that we must sell this additional small amount of
stock.
One business man in Oregon City has taken $1000.00
of the above amount, and two others have taken $500 1 00
each, and we believe this sum should be raised in a few
days time, as it is sold at $50.00 per share, with a par val
ue of $100.00. This road is now a success and we feel
that Oregon City will help place the first six miles in ac
tive operation. Your investment would be safe, and at
the same time greatly aid Clackamas County and Ore
gon City.
You will not be called on to pay one dollar of the
amount until the track is laid two miles and rails are
here for the full six miles.
We are confident you will do your best and help this
splendid enterprise, and at the same time make a safe in
vestment, by taking a portion of the amount to be raised.
The Companv has about Twenty Thousand Dollars
' ($20,000) of stock subscribed in addition to the Fifty
Three ($53,000) Dollars above mentioned, for grades
and bridges wdrich have not as yet been accepted by the
Company, but which will be accepted Avhen terms arc
agreed upon.
If you desire the immediate completion of this road
to Beaver Creek which will insure the remainder of the
line in a few months time, we ask you to come forward
and accomplish two things at one time. First, help Ore
gon City and Clackamas County; second, make a good,
safe, sane, investment that will net 3011 good returns.
If you are interested and desire to help the Board of
Directors .and the other stock-holders of this County, we
ask you to sign the following stock subscription contract
and mail it to the Secretary, and when this first six miles
of road has been completed you will say to yourself, "I
am proud of assisting one of the greatest enterprises ever
inaugurated in Clackamas County and at the same time
made a safe, sane and honorable investment."

Subscriber
Connections are now7 being made with the line of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., so that cord
wood, lumber, piling and other timber can be sent direct
to the Portland market and the money derived there
from will be scattered over that part of the County trib
utary to the road and be a great benefit not only to the
people along the line, but those engaged in other lines of
business.
Remember you don't have to pay one dollar of this
subscription until you see the rails laid down for a dis
tance of two miles and the remainder of the rails on the
ground for the full six miles of track.
Do not allow paid knockers of antagonistic interests
to warp your judgment or interfere with the completion
of this enterprise owned and controlled by our own home
people.
Address all communications to Clackamas Southern
Railway Co., Oregon City, Oregon.

SINGLE TAX IS
BELIEVED BEATEN
All indications at a late hour last
night pointed to graduated single tax
having been defeated in Oregon by a
majority of 2 or 3 to 1.
Partial returns from 39 precincts in
the City of Portland gave graduated
single tax 221 with 36G against it.
The county measure in Multnomah
County received 193 votes on the
number of precincts with 410 against
it. At that hour the repeal of the
U'Ren amendment was in doubt, 286
being cast in favor of repealing the
measure and 263 against it.
DEMOCRATS ADD TO
CONGRESS STRENGTH
Gustav Schnoerr, Kepresentative-Elect
in the Oregon Legislature.
tav Schnoerr and C. Schuebel all have
comfortable pluralities, and while P.
S. Noyer, Democrat, of Molalla, made
a fine run, he is defeated.
County Clerk Mulvey, Treasurer
Tufts, School Superintendent Gary
and Coroner Wilson have all been
reelected by large majorities.
The Republican state ticket has also
carried in Clackamas County, though
the lead of Ben Selling, for United
States Senator, over Harry Lane,
Democrat, is not large. For District
Attorney. Hedges has a good margin
over E. B. Tongue, Republican, but
the returns from the other three coun
ties in the district are coming in slow
ly. W. W. H. Samson, Republican, for
Justice of the Peace, and D. E. Frost,
Republican, for Constable, in the
Oregon City Precinct, are elected.

The late returns indicated that the
race for woman suffrage was close.
The proposition to divide Clackamas
County has evidently been lost by a
safe majority. Harry Lane was lead
ing eariy this morning in the race
for United States Senator.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5. The next House
of Representatives, the 63rd in the
history of the Nation, will be over
whelmingly Democratic. Early re
turns indicated there would be 277
Democrats, 148 Republicans and ten
of other parties, mostly Progressives,
in the new lowej Congressional body.
This would mean a Democratic ma
jority of 119 votes over all opposing
party strength.
In the Senate there is little upon
which to base more than a guess, -as
returns regarding the complexion of
state Legislature are coming in slow
ly. It is indicated however, that Illi
nois will send to Washington two
Democratic United States Senators.
