There were many surprises in the vote and Selling was victorious In a number of counties which had been confidently counted in the Bourne col umn, liourne carried Multnomah county by a substantial plurality, but this lead was overcome by the plur alities for Selling In the outside coun ties. In the republican vote on United States senator Jonathan Bourne has carried only Curry, Jnckson, Multno mah and Tillamook, with Josephine, where Selling leads, close in the In complete returns. The counties that Bourne is known to have carried were all conceded to him by Selling prior to election with the exception of Mult nomah. Lowell Carries Home County. Judge Lowell received a handsome recognition from the voters of his home county of Umatilla, obtaining a majority of all the votes cast. Judge Lowell also carried the neighboring county of Grant and also Morrow. All other counties not mentioned in the foregoing went for Selling. In 13 counties Mr. Selling led Bourne on a ratio of two to one. namely: Columbia, Coos. Hood River. Lane, Linn, Mal heur, Marion. Morrow, I'oik, Umatilla, Wallowa, Washington and Yamhill. Wasco county, which has large wool interests, gave Selling three to one over Bourne, and the neighboring county of Sherman did likew ise.

On the democratic ticl.et there is an interesting contest for the noimnction for congress in the second dibtrict. Returns have leo-i sent in. in prt, from nine of the 14 counties in the district. These returns give Graham a lead of less than U"i votes. The to tals reported stand as follows: Covey 1213, Graham liuS; Graham's majority 93. State Officers Named. Ben Olcott has been nominated for secretary of state on the Republican ticket, although Fields has a few coun ties to his credit. Multnomah county, where Fields is be.;t known, was car ried by his opponent. Robert Fakin, having no opposition for the nomination for Justice of the Supreme Court, has won, of course. For dairy and food commissioner, John D. Mickle is in the lead In most counties outside of Multnomah, and in Multnomah W. I. Cottel has the ad vantage. The returns from outside counties indicate that Mickle will have the nomination when the official vote is canvassed. A. H. Lei seems to be running third. Clyie B. Aitchison and Thomas Campbell have been renominated for railroad commissioners in their re spective districts. They have held the office since it was instituted. Convention Delegates Uncertain. Under the Oregon system, the 10 delegates sent to the republican na tional convention at Chicago are in structed to vote for Roosevelt, al though the delegates receiving the kighest vote are personal friends of I,a Follette and Roosevelt. Thomas Mc'"usker, La FolIett's campaign manager in Oregon, lead 'he ticket among the candidates for delegate. The delegates are in doubt, other than Thomas McCuskcr. Henry Wal do oe appears to have been another delegate selected . Not until the com plete returns are In will it be possible to announce the names of the 10 elec ted by the reput iienn vot ts.

PLATH DRUGGIST The I&KOJUL Store ic ballot, and aside from Alex 8 week. ho is conceded to be elected, and pos sibly John 11. Stevenson, the result is In doubt. The result as to the nomination of five candidates for presidential elector on the republican ticket also will not be finally deeded until the vote of the state has been counted. Judging from the returns in this county, however, It Is evident the voters very generally complied with the suggestion of the representatives of the three candi dates for president and wrote on their ballot the name of one of the five fol lowing republicans: L. M. Lepper, M. J. MacMahon and Grant Thomas, of Multnomah county; William Hanley of Burns, and E. V. Carter, of Jackson. Several Members Renominated. A review of the result of the recent primary election on the republican candidates for the legislature shows that several members of the last house and senate have been named to succeed themselves, some house mem bers have been elevated to the upper branch of the assembly and some In either branch have been defeated. There are 15 holdover senators. Two nominees for senatorial positions have served In previous sessions. Democratic Returns Incomplete. Democratic returns have not been pompleted.

Belland, of Clatsop.

In Douglas county George Xeuner, a member of the last house, defeated J. A. Buchanan, also a member of the last house, for the senatorial nomina tion in the fifth district. Ira S. Smith, of Marshfield, nomi nated for joint senator from Coos and Curry, was a member of the house from Polk county In 1895.
