Roosevelt Now Thought to Have Car-

cratic NEW YORK, Nov. 7. Uncertainty
-as to the electoral choice of Califor
nia and Illinois as developed by belat
ed returns from both sides was the
chief point of interests today, although
the counting of ballots in several doub
ful states still was under way. A
Democratic majority in the United
States Senate is assured.
That Illinois was safely in the
Wilson column was indicated early,
but California, which had been claim
ed by the Democrats shortly after the
closing of the polls, wavered for a
short time toward the Roosevelt Pro
gressive ranks. The Wilson plurality
early in the night again started up
ward as returns came in from remote
"precincts which are usually Democrat
ic. Still later returns placed Roose
vlt again in the lead by 130 votes.
. After apparently holding Illinois for
nearly 40 hours from the time the
polls closed, Colonel Roosevelt lost
its electoral votes late in the day,
when the assembing of the state wide
returns showed a victory for Govern
or Wilson.
Minnesota also furnished intense
Interest during the day. It appeared
that Colonel Roosevelt had carried the
state, heretofore classed as '"doubtful,"
adding 12 to his total electoral vote
and giving him a total of 77. Wilson's
total, by the addition of the 29 votes
of Illinois was increased to 449, and
decreased to 43G by the addition of
California to the doubtful column.
VOTERS PUT QUIETUS
Returns Thursday on Cascade
County indicate its defeat by an over
whelming majority. Clackamas Coun
ty gave a large vote against the crea
tion of the new county, Eoring, which
is situated within the boundaries of
the proposed new county, giving only
eight votes in favor of it. The measure
was also heavily defeated in Multno
mah County. There is no question
that the measure has been defeated.

REPORT OF T. W. SULLIVAN RE
GARDING GRADING ON
STREETS APPROVED
SAVING TO THE CITY IS ABOUT $450
All Street Inspectors Hereafter Will
be Under Supervision of
t Council Com
mittee The City Council at a special meet
ing Thursday evening votedto ac
cept the report of T. W. Sullivan
regarding the' excavations on Six
tenth, John Quincy Adams and
Jackson Streets. The report of Mr.
Sullivan reduces the amount to be
paid the Oregon Engineering & Con
struction Company about $450. Mc
Alpin & Wilson, employed by the Ore
gon Engineering & Construction Com
pany, did the work and it is supposed
they will have to accept the payment
suggested by the council or bring suit.
Street Inspector Burk filed a report
with the council some time ago that
the classifications as allowed by City
Engineer Montgomery on the work on
the streets should be examined. He
said the contractor! had been given
credit for having made excavations of
hardpan, when as a matter of fact the
streets were plowed with four horse
teams. He said hardpan could not be.
plowed. A further investigation was
made by the street committee and
then Mr. Sullivan was employed to
furnish a report. -
By a unanimous vote the council
decided that all street inspectors
should be under the supervision of the
street committee instead of the city
engineer's office. It was also urged
that all money collected by the police
from prisoners as bail be turned over
to the proper authorities as soon as
possible. The police say this has al
ways been done. It was explained by
the council that no reflection was In
tended on the police force.
DYNAMITE BLAST

late Wednesday night. Rogic and
another man were assigned to night

SCALES OF JUSTICE
FALL ELECTION NIGHT
Several near superstitious anti-Wilson
men Thursday called attention
to the scales of justice being missing
from the effigy of the Goddess of Lib-
I erty on the roof of the courthouse.
LThe scales were . blown away Tues
! day night just after the result of the
'election had been received. The near
superstitious say the disaster is por
tentious of hard times during the
Democratic administration, but the
happy Democrats only laugh and call
attention to the fact that not only
the scales were blown from the fig
ure during the Taft administration,
but the left arm, which held the scales
also suffered dismemberment. County
j Judge Beatie, who is a Democrat, and
I being mentioned for the office of
I United States Marshall, says the
scales will De replaced as soon as
one of the best presidents the country
ever ha.
