SALEM, Or.. Juno 2. The result in
Marlon County on Governor will be close.
Both sides claim, the county. The count
ing of votes is progressing slowly, and
will not be completed until tomorrow, tile
full vote for none of the precincts having
been completed at midnight tonight.
At that tkne, W. J. Culver, chairman
of the Republican County Central Com
mittee, gave out the following:
"Furnish will carry the county Ty 200
majority. The remainder of our stale
ticket will be elected by majorities of 503
to 600 Tongue will receive an increased
vote over that of two years ago. The
entire Republican county and legislative
ticket -win be elected."
Cjhalrman W. H. Downing', of the Demo
cratic County Central Committee, said:
"Ghamberlaln -wllL carry the county, by
000 'majority. Godfrey, for State1 Printer,
Is running along with Chamberlain, ana
will also receive a good majority. Colbath
will be elected Sheriff". The election of
Jeffreys, as Joint Senator, Is assured.
Slater and Rock will be elected on the
Representative ticket, and we may possi
bly elect another Representative I be
lieve Mahon's chances are good."
The election passed off quietly. The full
vote was polled, but there was no chal
lenging at the polls, nor any arrests for
Illegal voting. The friends of Geer may
be held accountable for the result in this
county. They are known to have knifed
Furnteh and supported the Governor for,
United Staes "Senator. Many straight Re
publican tickets upon which Furnish was
scratched carried a vote for Ge.er for
Senator. A great majority of the Dctno
orats voted for Geer, which Is an appar
ent substantiation of the charge of a com
bination between the Geer people and
Chamberlain, by which the Democratic
nominee should be made Governor, and
in return bhould support Geer for United
States Senator. The Legislative nominees
probably elected are: Republican State
Senators, Squire, Farrar and E. M. Crol

tlon of Charleston and South Carolina
and this ourely is worth something to a
man already a millionaire, with no chick
or child to suffer through any possible
excess of generosity on his part.
Whatever the reft of the world may
think about it, 'Charleston looks upon the
exposition as a success. It has not, in
deed, "paid out," but there have been
no scandals connected with It; there will
be no unpaid bills; whatever th& losses
have been they will cause no man to
suffer.
The local motive back of this exposi
tion was almost precisely similar to that
which prompted, the fair at Omaha, ot
which I wrote some "10 days ago. The
city was dead, in a business sense, and
almost desnerate. Its old commerce, based
on conditions long gone from the commer
cial world, had dwindled to nothing. With
a harbor second not even to that of New
York, and with a geographical situation
which would seem, to mark It as the pre
eminent port of the South, the old docks
of Charleston are falling Into ruin. Mo
bile on the Gulf, Savannah at the south
and Norfolk at the north have somehow
taken away the shipping from which

tails. That has been sufficiently done al
ready from the news standpoint; and be
sides. It does not falliin with my pur
pose, which Is to develop such lessons
from experience here and elsewhere as.
may help to discreet policies In the greatl
work bejore us at Portland.
Everywhere outside of Charleston one
hears t"hat the exposition Is n failure; In
deed, it Is a failure In the 'sense that it
tas not paid for Itself, and ft Is as a fail
ure that it will be historically classiffed.
But failure is a term of -various and di
verse Interpretations. That which from
one point of view may be a failure" may
from another be a shining success. A'nd
this fair, which must be called a .failure
because It has cost more 'money than it
has taken In, Is from the broad stand
point of general local Interest the most
fortunate event In the material history of
Charleston since the Civil War.' Flnat, it
hasfbrought Into working co-operation the
several social and business elements of
Charleston which for long years had
worked at cross-purpose, and whose mu
tual and. ajtpgether stupid antagonisms
had well-nigh choked the business life
.out of the old town. Second, it has made
manifest to the country and to the world
at large best of all to Charleston herself
that Charleston has the resource and
the spirit to carry through a great enter
prise upon which her mind and ambition
are set. ven under adverse conditions.
Third, it has brought the old and half-
rforgotterr geographical advantages of
Charleston freshly to the attention or tne
world. Fourth, It has attracted some
new population and some 'hew capital.
Fifth, It lias given the old stay-at-home
elementof Charleston some sense of their
responsibilities and duties. And sixth-. It
has brought something more than three
millions of dollars Into the general trade
of the city and so hasgiven it two of the
mosi prosperous business years in its
history.
On the other hand, there will be t
ppetty heavy financial" loss. The subscrib
ers to the original fund will get nothing
back, but that wis expected and there
will be no murmuring. Among them all
Charleston's fortunes were originally
made. Atlanta, far tothe west, has be
come the center of the jobbing trade' o
the South a business which In the older
times centered at Charleston. Even tha
cotton export business has gone, for the
development of home manufacture during
recent years has made a home mdrket
and, all but destroyed the export, trade.
,The local factories, which nre established
not at or near Charleston, but far in the
interior, work up the raw cotton Into a
.half-manufactured product, which goes
North to be finished and Is exported from
the ports of New York or of "New Eng
land. Charleston still has a relatively
small jobbing trade, and she Is still a
financial ceijter, for there Is much accu
mulated wealth In her coffins, but stag
nation and reaction have In recent "years
madevthe tone and trie spirit of her busi
ness life.
Charleston is fit for better things and
she knows Jtt. AVIth her fine harbor, her
geographical situation, her capital, her
Inspiring commercial, history andljier am
bitions, the future ought to hold for her
something better than the dry rot of her
present condition.-' These considerations
have long 4)een discussed. The problem
was how to wake up the town, how'to
get the attention of the commercial
world to the conditions favorable to trade
and commerce, how to inspire her own
people with the modern spirit and make
them take hold of opportunities which lie
all about them. The pr6spect seemed al
most hopeless, for Charleston, of all
places In the United States, is the very
home and, headquarters of rock-ribbed
conservatism. Her pride Is Involved In
the records of time past, rather than in
plans and hopes for the future. Her finan
cial fortunes are Just enough to make
her cautious and timid; not enough to
inspire boldness. She has. Indeed, a class
of up-to-date men. but they are mostly or
an alien race and they do not command
the general social leadership essential to
the,success of large general movements.
And, on top of all. there Is the negro,
an amiable and even likeable element

there is no man who has not gained more f lng to Its real resource, utterly destitute

I have not heard of one who would re

one large loser will be the generous citi

the exposition association, took its finan

will be directly put 6f pocket something
like $200,000 in cash on exjosltlon account;
but he took the risk, knowing It to be a
great risk, and If he has any regrets no
body has heard them spoken and there
Is nothing in his attitude suggestive of
disappointment or displeasure. And there
are those who assure me that, great as

It was while these discussions were In,
tne air that tho prpject of an exposition
was suggested. Colonel Averlll, a local
railroad man, who combines Northern
energy with the spirit of a lifelong resi
dence In the South, was the first to pro
pose It and the most active man In Its
development- His -argument was that It
would break down the narrow spirit which
was slowly but surely strangling the busi-
ness community, that it would give the
city and state contact with the more
active outside world; that It would awak
en the spirit of co-operation,' advertise the
resources of South Carpllna, bring in
money for Investment and make an active
business season or two while the fair was
In preparation and In operation.
Under all the circumstances It was a
very bold project. Charleston is. in a

The total 'vote cast In Multnomah
County Is 17,515. a shortage of 2S75 un
der the registration, which was 20,300.
The total ote cast two years ago was
15,740. The total vote cast in the city
esterday was 14,040, against 13,502 In
1000. The count is ery alow, and It
will not be entirely finished before to
morrow. Up to midnight only about
2000 otes had been counted, or one
seventh of the total tote.
Partial returns from every precinct in
the City of Portland and from all the
outlying country precincts In Multnomah
County about one-seventh of the entire
1 ote indicate that Chamberlain, Dem.,
has carried the county by a small major
ity, perhaps by M0. The early returns
appear to Indicate that George H. Will
lams, Rep., Is elected Major over R. D.
Inman, Dem., by a majority that is prob
ably in the neighborhood of 1000. The en
tire Republican Legislative tlcket'Is In the
lead, the greater part of it is certainly
elected and complete returns may show
that the opposition has not .won a single
Legislative candidate. The race between
Henry E. McGinn, Rep., and Harry Lane,
Dem., for State Senator, 13 exceedingly
close. Out of something over 2000 votes
counted for this office at 1 o'clock this
morning Lane had the lead over SIcGtnn
by 65 votes. George T. Myers, Rep for
Senator; Herbert Holman for Joint Sena
tor with Clackamas and C. W. Notting
ham. Rep., for Joint Representative with
Clackamas, are unquestionably elected.
The highest man in the Incomplete count
on the Republican Representative ticket
Is John GUI, with 1271 otes, leading the
hghest man on the Citizens ticket, J. C.
Bayer, by 2S0 otes, and the lowest man
on the Citizens' ticket, Sydney Smith,
wlh 810. by 460. The lowest man on the
Republican Legislative ticket Is W. R.
Hudson, with 1050, leading the highest
man on the Citizens ticket by 7S vote.
The Indorsement of certain Legislative
candidates- by the Non-Partisan Advisory
