anti-assembly force captured the
more Important offices, for which
there was the greatest content. The

The assembly received the greatest
Jolt In Multnomah county, where It
was supposed to have Its strong
hold and where the autl-assemblyltes
captured 39 nominations, while the
anemhlymeii got but 12, Ave of
which were uuopposed. According
to reports, the assembly candidates
who were defeated, with their
friends, will support the regular Re
publlcan nominees In Multnomah.
Latest reports give Oswald West
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor and John Manning forCongree
la the Second District.
