Have Majority in This County
of About
500
Woman suffrage will have a very
narrow squeak in Clackamas, as com
plete returns from 25 out of 44 pre
cincts show 14S2 votes in favor of
the amendment and 1528 against it.
The lieutenant governor amendment
was defeated in this county by more
than 2 to 1, and the first of the legis
lative tax measures, ballot numbers
304-305, is beaten probably by 800.
The vote on the tax amendment fol
lowing, ballot numbers 306-307 is
about the same as the first tax amend
ment. On the constitutional amendment
for the repeal of the single tax amend
ment, the affirmative number has a
lead of 85 in 25 precincts. The ma
jority rule constituaional amendment
is beaten by more than 2 to 1. This
amendment was submitted by the leg
islature. On the initiative majority
rule amendment, the negative vote is
even heavier. The amendment to in
crease the liability of stockholders is
carried in this county by a vote of
nearly 3 to 1.
The Malarky public service bill will
have a majority in Clackamas of
about 500. The Cascade County meas
ure is badly dfated in Clackamas, the
vote in 25 precincts being 4G6 in fav
or of the bill and 22G8 against it. The

and State Agricultural College aslo
went down to defeat in Clackamas

road bill creating the office of state
highway commissioner, numbers 340
341 on the ballot, has lofet in, Clacka

per cent state road act has probably
carried the county by a narrow mar
gin. The county bonding act, numbers

county road act will have a majority
of about 400.
Clackamas County, by a vote of
more than two to one, has defeated
the bill to provide a new method of

with a joker" that would permit only
the section of the county that desired

bers 352-353, will lose by about 700.
The second tax exemption measure,
numbers 354-355, is beaten by a two

inspector is F. C. Burk. Councilman

jected to the motion. Mr. Tooze ex
plained that the City Engineer had,

the committee be composed of Messrs.

declared that it was a question that
should be considered by the council
S ,ha Mr. Holman insisted
unon the appointment of a committee,
Snz that it would expedite mat
ted Messrs. Beard and Hall agreed
with him. Mr. Tooze, however still
objected, declaring that it would be
an unwise procedure. He said the
railway company had money with
which to employ able attorneys, and
th nitv ronld best subserve its in-
terests by the entire
councu consiu-
erinK all phases ot tne manei "
rrnn vafncipfl to act

explained that Manager Hall of the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany desired to meet with the com
mittee and submit figures which
would be helpful in solving the rate
question.
City Engineer Montgomery reported
that the wood walk on Jackson Street
was not satisfactory and the council
ordered that the company having the
contract be instructed to comply with
the directions of the engineer. The
breaking of a plate glass in the
Frank Pusch store by a workman em
ployed by the Montague-O'Reilley
Company, which is hardsurfacing low

yond Mr. Staats' property. l was
referred to the finance committee.
The reports of E. I.,. Shaw as chief
of police and Lavy Stipp, recorder,
were received. Councilman Albright
said that he had heard that one or

Frost be asked to make a report on
a certain case at the next meeting of
the council.
An ordinance relating to advertis
ing on the streets was referred to the
city attorney and a committee com
posed of Messrs. Holman, Albright
and Roake. It regulates horsetrading
and tne carrying of signs through the
streets.
PROHIBITION LOSES
SPRINGFIELD, Or., Nov. 6. The
prohibition amendment failed to carry
in this city. The voters gave a major
ity of 20, out of a total of 473, to the
"wets." On the other hand, the city
ticket nominated by the "drys'' won
by 20 votes over the citizens ticket,
which stood for present conditions.
The Socialists polled 23 votes. This
is th.e result of peculiar conditions.
The "dry's" thought the Prohibition
amendment safe and worked to de
feat the Citizens' ticket. The "wets"
felt tlat their ticket was safe, but
feared for the amendment. The work
on both sides proved effective, as
each party accomplished its end.

UIN IN RACE FOR
GOVENOR OF STATE
W. S. U'Ren will be a candidate for
Governor. He is well satisfied with
the results of Tuesday's election, says
the people have won another victory
and that his platform will be the
short ballot, the People's Power League
measures and the maximum wage
scale.
"We are mightily encouraged over
the result of the election,' said U'Ren.
"TheJ reactionaries and standpatters
made an attack on the initiative and
have failed. The attempt to abolish
free speech and the boycott were
knocked out.
''We gained equal suffrage, which
is a great victory. All we lost was
Senator Bourne, whose defeat is a
great loss to the Nation and the state.
We did not lose single tax because
we haven't got single tax, and these
petitions will be ready before the end
of the year. The measure to abolish
the State Senate failed, as did the
proportional representation, but we
will come again with the People Pow
er League plan for the state and coun
ty. "I am a candidate to succeed Gov
ernor West at the next election, and
the People Power League measures
will be my platform."

TONGUE THOUGHT TO
HAVE BEATEN HEDGES
Gilbert Hedges, Democratic nominee
for District Attorney, who made a
remarkable race in Clackamas
County, but is believed to be beaten.
Incomplete returns by telephone
from Columbia, Clatsop and Washing
ton Counties indicate the reelection
of District Attorney E. B. Tongue
over Gilbert L. Hedges who, while re
ceiving a handsome vote in hfs home
county of Clackamas, was not able to
overcome the handicap of Tongue's
majorities in the three other counties
of the Fifth Judicial District. Returns
by telephone indicate that Mr. Tongue
will carry Clatsop County by 500
votes, Columbia! County, and that
his majority in Washington will off
set that of Mr. Hedges' in Clackamas.
SCHOOL FUND
LAW IS DEFEATED
The county high school fund law
has again failed to pass in Clackamas
County, though an energetic cam
paign was waged for it. In 25 pre
cincts, where the count is complete,
there were 1165 votes cast for the
measure and 1658 against it. The re
sult will be a severe dissappointment
to a number of prominent educators
in Clackamas County.
The county has declined to permit
stock to run at large, by a vote of
1573 to 1211 in 25 precincts.

VICTORY OF DEMOCRAT MAY BE
MORE SWEEPING THAN
FIRST THOUGHT
399 ELECTORAL VOTES ARE ASSURED
Democrats are not Certain of Having
Senate Majority Estimates
of Popular Vote
Made
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. Only the un
certainty of few clos states, whose
electoral vote ir no way can effect
the election of Wilson and Marshall
speculation over popular vote of the
three Presidential candidates and the
complexion of Legislatures that will
name United States Senators held in
terest today in the final returns of
yesterday's general election.
The total of the Republican elect
oral column apparently was fixed
with the eight votes of Utah and
Vermont, but the footing of Wison
and Roosevelt columns flickered al
ternately during the day and night,
as late returns from Iowa, Kansas,
Minnecota, South Dakota and Wyom
ing gave indications of changing re
sults accepted last night.
On the basis of the latest returns
early in the evening with the vote of
Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Minnecota,
South Dakota and Wyoming placed
in the "doubtful'' column, President
Elect Wilson had 399 certain votes in
the electoral college, Roosevelt 89
and Taft 8.
All of tie doubtful states except
South Dakota gave more or less cer
tain indications during the night of
landing in the list of Wilson electoral
votes. South Dakota's returns show
ed a general trend toward Roosevelt
Estimates of the popular vote poll
ed by Governor Wilson ranged
through many millions during the day.
It was. found impossible to compute
with accuracy the popular vote of
any of the Presidential candidates
and it will be several Clays before the
counting) of the three-cornered con
test in the different states is conclud
ed. There is no certainty that the
Democrats will have a majority in the
United States Senate.
RACE FOR SENATE
STILL IN DOUBT
Any lingering dispute that may have
existed of Wilson's victory in Oregon
were removed Wednesday by the re
ceipt of fuller returns from Multno
mah County and the state at large,
but the figures still failed to give final
results on the senatorial situation.
The contest for senator is conclu
sive only in being between Selling
and Lane.
Selling is showing a gradual creep
ing up on his opponent, w ho has been
in the lead, and there is a prospect
that Selling will carry the state.
