THE .MORNING. OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1906.
FEW! WAIT FOR
LftTE RETURNS
Campaign Headquarters of
Both Parties Deserted
Early in Night.
COUNT IS VERY SLOW
Democrats Feel Satisfied With Cham
berlain's Showing, and Repub
licans Take Stevens' Elec
tion as Assured.
Only a few of the very faithful re
mained around the various political head
quarters waiting lor the returns of elec
tion last night. The slow count made the
reports from the precincts tardy, and
only those who were deeply interested In
the outcome waited even for the early
scattering count. At the headquarters of
the Democratic County Committee Chair
man Thomas held the fort, and although
as early as 11 o'clock a Democratic stal
wart had chalked up on the blackboard
stttrtling figures which showed that Sen
ator Gearin was 2W votes ahead of Bourne
and that Tom Word was equally well in
the lead of Stevens, there was something
about the figures that did not Impress the
faithful with victory.
Many of them had wandered In from
state headquarters, where the figures
showed Governor Chamberlain leading
Withycombe by a small majority. Bourne
leading Gearin and Stevens off in front of
Word by about 147 votes, and they were
not able to reconcile the conflicting re
ports. Several of the doubtful questioned
one enthusiastic Democratic warhorse
about the difference in the vote as bulle
tined at the two headquarters. He waved
the question aside, saying: "That's all
rlpht. We are getting the count from
different precincts."
' Mr. Sweet's Happy Smile.
At the state headquarters In the Lange
Hotel, Alex Sweet, John Manning, Bert
Haney and the other big guns of the
iMultnomah County Democracy, were half
concealed behind clouds of tobacco smoke,
but very hopeful. Mr. Sweet sat with the
telephone at his elbow and received the
reports as they came in. As the returns
accumulated, all indicating that Gover
nor Chamberlain was gaining slowly but
steadily upon Withycombe, one of those
smiles that won't come off spread over
his features.
It was only when the vote fur the man
in the Sheriff's office began falling behind
that the smile began to grow weary. The
fact that Bourne was leading Senator
Gearin by a small majority gave lots of
hope and a host of Democrats present
went so far as to predict the election of
the entire Democratic ticket.
A-t Republican county headquarters
interest was centered in the race that
Bob Stevens was making for Sheriff.
Th early returns sent Stevens oft in
the lead, and joy was plainly written
on the faces of all assembled. While
there was a feeling about midnight
that Stevens would be elected, his lead
was o small that there was no boast
ing. Yet so long as he was leading
his- friends predicted that ho would
win.' ' '
Chairman Westgate Confident.
Chairman Westgate's office -was the
mecca of a large number of anxious
Republican politicians and friends' of
Mr. Bourne. There they were anxious
ly waiting for the returns. Just be
fore midnight the watchers grew
weary and left only those in charge to
receive the reports over the telephone.
Mr.- Bourne was then leading Senator
Gearin by a comfortable plurality, and
no fear for the general outcome was
annoying Chairman Westgate.
Sheriff Word did not make his ap
pearance at either of the Democratic
headquarters during the early part of
the -evening. He heard the returns In
the ' Sheriff 's . of nee, surrounded by his
deputies and a few chosen friends. Con
fidence reigned supreme, and the
watchword was "Wait until 'the East
Side is heard from." The 100 votes
that Stevens was ahead did not worry
the. Word contingent.
Mr. Stevens took his station near
The Dregonian office to await the re
turns. Mr. Stevens felt satisfied with
the manner in which he had conducted
-Jiis campaign, and was willing to leave
the result with the voters.

(Continued From Page 1.)
amendment, yes 84, no 97; equal suffrage,
yes 61, no 125.
In North Forest Grove Chamberlain
leads by 13 and Hawley leads by 2. The
Republican legislative ticket Is possibly
elected, but the Democrats may elect one
man. The equal suffrage amendment will
lose by a big majority. Local option
amendment, unable to estimate.
FOREST GROVE, Or., June 4. (Spe
cial.) In South Forest Grove Precinct,
which is normally two to one Republican,
Chamberlain is running even with Withy
combe. Galloway is but little behind Haw
ley. The woman suffrage amendment is
about evert. There is a heavy vote against
the local option amendment. In North
Forest Grove Precinct, usually Republi
can by small majority. Chamberlain is
two to one ahead.
Sherman County.

others 44; Representative, Twenty-eighth
District, Donnelly 77, Pike 80; for woman
suffrage, yes 57, no 77; for amendment
to local option law. yes 42, no 91. Re
publican county ticket probably elected.
Benton County.
CORVALLIS. Or.. June 4. (Special.)
Incomplete returns from eight precincts
give Bourne 410, Gearin 305, Withycombe
420. Chamberlain 290, Hawley 415.. Gallo
way 2S0. For local option amendment 320,
against 363. Indications from meager re
turns available are that the county, which
has been dry for two years, has gone wet.
A. J. Johnson is elected State Senator and
Virgil E. Carter Representative, both Re
publicans. Carter had no opposition, and
Johnson's opponent was Watkins, Prohi
bition. The county ticket Is apparently
mixed, with not enough returns at hand
to determine results.
Clatsop County.
ASTORIA. Or., June 4. (Special.) In
complete returns from 11 precincts in
Clatsop County show the following vote:
Governor, Chamberlain 415, Withycombe
326; Secretary of State, Benson 163, Sroat
30: Congressman, Ellis 106, Graham 39;
United States Senator, Bourne 143. Gearin,
79. The Indications are that the entire
Republican legislative and county tickets
b$ elected with the exception of C. J.
Trenchard. Dem.. for County Judge. The
contests for Sheriff and Coroner are close.
The total vote cast was large and the
count will not be complee before morning.
Linn County.
ALBANY, Or., June 4. (Special.) The
count is progressing very slowly. No pre
cincts had returned complete returns at
midnight. Chamberlain and ' Withycombe
are running even. Gearin is leading
Bourne. Galloway shows strength. The
Republican state ticket is ahead. The
fight between Milton A. Miller and George
W. Wright for State Senator looks In
favor of the former. With this exception
the Republicans claim .the entire county
ticket. The vote on prohibition is close.
Woman suffrage lost votes here. An Im
mense vote was polled in Linn County,
and great interest was shown in the elec
tion. Tmatilla. County.
PENDLETON. Or., June 4. (Special.)
The Umatilla election returns are very
slow, only three small precincts being
counted at midnight. These give Gearin
a slight lead over Bourne. Ellis has
everything in his race for Congress.
Withycombe is ahead of Chamberlain
and Benson for Secretary of State Is far
in the lead. Indications point to the
election of Smith (Dem.), Senator; Still
man (Dem.), Circuit Judge, while Taylor
(Dem.), has a walk-over as Sheriff. Tho
rest of the Republican ticket seems cer
tainly elected.
Coos County.
MARSHFIELD, Or., June 4. (Special.)
The incomplete count shows that Coos
and Curry will give Withycombe almost
the full Republican vote, aa well as Haw
ley and Mulkey, while Benson will run
away ahead of his ticket, and Bourne will
have a majority. The Republican county
ticket will be carried, with the possible
exception of County Judge. Indications
are that the Prohibitionists will win, and
Equal Suffrage will have a majority.
There has been a large vote In favor of
purchasing the Barlow road, and It seems
that the greater portion of those who vot
ed for it supposed they were voting to
defeat the proposition.
Lane County.
EUGENE, Or., June 4. (Special.) Re
turns from 20 of the 50 Lane County pre
cincts, which is about one-fifth of the to
tal vote, give Withycombe 415, Chamber
lain 406, Benson BOO, Sroat 275, Bourne 420,
Gearin 390, Hawley 475, Galloway 300.
For county officers indications point to
ward the election of Lee for Clerk; Fisk,
(Democrat), Sheriff; Edwards, Commis
sioner; Eastland, Treasurer; Collier, Sur
veyor; Gordon, Coroner; Eaton, Edwards
and Washburne, Representatives; Bing
ham, Senator. The suffrage amendment
is even. The local option amendment Is
probably lost.
Josephine County.
GRANT'S PASS, Or., June 4. (Special.)
The count is slow and it is impossible
to get figures on state officers. Chamber
lain and Bourne are ahead, as far as
counted.
Wolf Creek (complete) Gearin 19,
Bourne 12, Chamberlain 26, 'Withycombe
9, Galloway 23, Hawley 5. Local option,
yes 9, no 25. Woman suffrage, yes 26, no
13. Both are ahead: in three Grant's Pass
precincts.
Wasco County.
THE DALLES. Or.. June 4. (Special.)
The meager election returns obtainable
tonight are from the four Dalles pre
cincts, which comprise about one-third of
the votes of the county. Of these four
precincts, less than one-fourth of the
votes have been counted. If the same
result obtains throughout the county,
the indications are that Ellis and Benson
will carry the county by the usual Re
publican majority of looo, wniie tne con
test between the Senators is too close to
forecast the result, thus far the count
favoring Gearin. For Governor, Withy
combe will probably carry the county by
a small plurality. Indications point to the
election of the Republican Legislative
ticket, as well as all the county officers.
The majorities on Treasurer and Clerk
have been considerably reduced. Equal
suffrage has undoubtedly lost in the
county, while the local option amendment
will probably carry.
Douglas County.
ROSEBURG. Or., June 4. (Special.)
In Roseburg, 1150 votes were cast
Four precincts, about one-third of
the votes counted, at midnight show:
Chamberlain 157, Withycombe 190;
Benson 255, Sroat 70; Steel 207; Mat
lock 105; Eakin 200, Hailey 120; Craw
ford 216, Miller 96; Duniway 205, Tay
lor 113; Hawley 186, Galloway 128;
Bourne 142, Gearin 160; local option,
yes 1-0, no 159; woman suffrage, yes
151, no 178. Indications point to the
election of the Republican county tick
et except Clerk, and possibly Judge.
Union County.
LA GRANDE, Or., June 4. (Special.)
Incomplete returns from four La
Grande precincts and Perry complete
give Chamberlain 215, Withycombe
162; Benson 235. Sroat 135; Steel 216,
Matlock 137; Eakin 263, Hailey 107;
Duniway 232, Taylor 117; Bourne 227,
Gearin 145. For Congress, Ellis 210,
Graham 100. Vote so far reported on
equal suffrage amendment gives yes
73, no 92. On local-option amendment,
yes 66, no 84.
Polk County.
DALLAS, Or., June 4. (Special.) In
complete returns from five out of 19 pre
cincts in Polk County give Withycombe
161, Chamberlain 137, Hawley 75, Galloway
75, Bourne 87, Gearin 121, Benson 124,
Sroat 53. The count is progressing slowly
and the returns are very incomplete. In
dications at this hour point to the election
of the entire Republican county ticket,
with the exception of M. D. Ellis for
Sheriff, who is probably defeated by J. M.
Grant, Democrat. The vote on Governor
and Senator will be close. Galloway is
running ahead of his ticket and may
carry the county. Early returns indicate
that the local option amendment has car
ried by a small majority, and that the
woman's suffrage amendment is heavily
defeated.
Crook County.
PRINEVILLE, Or., June 4. Special.)
Gearin Is ahead of Bourne about 40 votes
in all precincts beard from. Chamberlain
leads Withycombe by 35 votes in the race
for Governor and seems to be gaining
strength on every count. Prohibitionists
and equal suffragists are snowed under,
and local-option amendment has been
freely voted for. Ellis la safe for Con
gress. In the county everything points to the
election of a mixed ticket. Furnish car
ried the county four years ago.
Jackson County.
ASHLAND, Or., June 4. (Special.) A
large vote was cast in Jackson County
at today's election, but the counting is
proceeding very slowly, and returns
are scant as yet. Chamberlain 94,
Withycombe 135, Hawley 71, Galloway
29.
Indications are for election of the
Republican county ticket.
MEDFORD, Or., June 4. (Special.)
Elertion'day passed away quietly. Med"
ford polled the largest vote in her his
tory, 730. Chamberlain and Bourne
will carry the county. The Republi

99, Sroat 72; Bourne 78, Gearin 85.
Woman suffrage is defeated here.

GORMAN IS DEAD
Leader of Democrats in Sen
ate for Many Years.'
HE ELECTED CLEVELAND
Strongest Figure In Democracy Dies
of Heart Disease Congress
Mourns Him and Both
Parties Praise Him.
WASHINGTON, June 4. Arthur Pue
Gorman, United States Senator from
Maryland, died suddenly at his residence
in this city at 9:05 o'clock this morning.
While Senator Gorman had been ill for
many months, he had shown some im
provement lately. Heart trouble was the
Immediate cause of death.
Up to the moment of death. Senator
DEAD LEADER OF DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
1 f
SENATOR ARTHUR
Gorman was conscious. His condition
during the past week had Improved so
much that yester5hy the family had hopes
of shortly taking him to the country. He
partook of some nourishment at 8 o'clock
this morning, but at 9 o'clock he was
seized with a heart attac. and died In
five minutes. At the bedside were Mrs.
Gorman, Miss Ada Gorman, the Senator's
eldest daugher, and the nurse. When the
attack came, physicians were sent for,
but the Senator was dead before they ar
rived. Illness Lasted Five Months.
Senator Gorman's illness extended over
a period of five months. He had not left
his house since January 16. He suffered,
in addition to his heart affliction, more
or less stomach trouble. A week ago last
Saturday he was seized with a heart at
tack and it was thought then that ha
could not survive, but he rallied and
seemed to get much better. Up to late
last night he was in the best of spirits
and chatted with various members of the
family. As soon as he passed away word
was sent to the Senate.
Senator Gorman leaves a widow and bIx
children, as follows: Miss Ada Gorman,
Mrs. Wilton J. Lambert, Mrs. R. A. John
son, Mrs R. W. Hills, all of this city;
Mrs. Stephen Gambrill, of London, Eng
land, who arrived here a week ago, and
Arthur Pue Gorman, Jr., of Laurel, Md.,
a member of the Maryland Assembly.
Senator Gorman long had been a nota
ble figure in the National Congress. He
first took his seat in 1SS1 and served con
tinuously for 18 years, and nearly all that
time was leader of his party in the Sen
ate. It was a tribute to his leadership that
as soon as he was again In the Senate he
was made leader of the minority, and, al
though the seniority rule is strictly en
forced. Gorman was given committee
places that were equal to those he had
held after long continuous service.
Opposed Annexing Philippines.
Senator Gorman was vigorously opposed
to the acquisition of the Philippines, and
fought the ratification of the Paris treaty
with all the force he possessed. Knowing
that strong pressure was being exerted
on Democrats who were standing with
him he urged an early vote, which
friends of the treaty held back until the
necessary two-thirds of the Senators were
secured. His pleas for economy voiced
the views of his party that less money
should be spent-for building ships and
more for river and harbor improvements.
Senators aid Representatives, commit
tee employes, police and pages, all knew
Senator Gorman intimately, and grief Is
general. The news of. his death reached
the Capitol building at about 9:50 o'clock,
when it was filling for the day's work.
Every arrival was met with the announce
ment that the venerable minority leader
had shifted life's care and found rest
from the Illness that had kept his seat
In the Senate vacant practically all of
the present session.
Mourned by All at Capitol.
The announcement in nearly every case
brought forth spontaneous eulogies, such
as seldom are given to any man, and es
pecially to an Intense partisan, who had
been a leader of a great party. The ex
pressive tributes, so unanimous in be
speaking the lovableness of the man and
silence concerning the Incidents of politi
cal strife best evidence the marked es
teem in which he was held.
Several of the most Important commit
tees which Invariably meet on Monday
devoted nearly all of the time they were
in session to discussion of the high places
Senator Gorman had filled in life at the
capital.
Funeral Will Be Private.
The Senate will be represented by a
committee of its members, chosen from
colleagues who served with him for many
yars. Senator Gorman, in a written re
quest addressed to Mra Gorman, asked
that no state funeral should be held. He
said that he did not wish his body to
be brought to the Capitol, as he wanted
his colleagues always to think of him as
they knew him in life as an active Sen
ator. There he was always cheerful and
smiling, and it is regarded as character
istic of his disposition that he should de
sire eo to be remembered.
It was announced tonight that the tu
neral would be held at Mr. Gorman's late
residence, 1432 M street Northwest, at 11
o'clock Thursday morning. The services
at the house will be private and will be
conducted by a Presbyterian clergyman.
Those attending the services will be lim
ited to the family, the Senate and House
committees and a committee of personal
and political friends from Maryland.
It was Mr. Gorman's request that he
should toe burled In Oakhill- Cemetery in
Georgetown, just across Rock Creek from
this city.
Mrs. Gorman was prostrated by the
Senator's death, and for a time was un
der the care of a physician.
CONGRESS ADJOCRNS FOR DAY
Both Houses Show Respect Senate
Appoints Funeral Committee.
WASHINGTON, June The Senate
adjourned today immediately upon re
ceiving the announcement of Senator
Gorman's death. No business what
ever was transacted, even the reading
of the journal being dispensed with.
There was an unusual number of Sen
ators present, and all were impressed
by the solemnity of the occasion. Ap
propriate resolutions were adopted and
a committee to attend the funeral was
appointed, as follows: Rayner, Allison,
Morgan, Hale, Aldrich, Teller, Gallinger,
Elkins, Martin, Tillman, Clay, Spooner,

He was re-elected to the United States
Senate until 1896, when the Republicans
carried the state and sent him into re
tirement until 1903, when he took his seat
again in succession to George L. Welling
ton. Early in his career as a Senator, Mr.
Gorman took high rank as a statesman
and politician. In several great National
conflicts he has shown his exceptional
capacity for leadership. In spite of his
limited book schooling he was able, by
wide and studious reading and practical
experience from youth with the national
methods of legislation, by observant in
tercourse and association with the ablest
public men of the Nation in the Senate
and House, and through a long and va
ried service in the highest state and Na
tional councils, to secure an education In
public matters that disciplined his natural
gift for government administration to an
extent that made him the most sagacious'
and practical statesman of his time. His
power and skill in politics were remark
ably shown in crucial contests.
The election of Grover Cleveland as
President in 1884 and the defeat of the
federal election bill were two of his
greatest triumphs. He quarreled with
Cleveland on the Wilson tariff bill in 1894,
and secured changes in the interest of
the sugar refiners and coal producers,
which provoked Cleveland to refuse to
sign the bill and to condemn it as marked
with perfidy and dishonor. He was large
ly instrumental in settling the strike
which caused the Pittsburg riots of 1877.
Since his return to the Senate he had pre
vented the ratification of the Santo Do
minican treaty by holding his party to
gether, and thus depriving the measure
of the necessary two-thirds majority.
His last great political battle was fought
in Maryland in 1904, when a constitutional
amendment designed to disfranchise the
negroes and perpetuate the control of the
state by his organization was defeated by
popular vote. ,
Mr Gorman was a speaker of clearness
and 'force, with a voice of peculiar dis
tinctness and metallic resonance. A mas
ter of parliamentary law and constitu
tional principle, he impressed himself
strikingly on National affairs.
May Make Schley Senator.
WASHINGTON, June 4. Special.) Po
litical and naval circles in. Washington
think that one of the strongest candidates
for the vacancy in the Senate created by
the death of Senator Gorman, of Mary
land, will be Rear-Admiral Winfleld S.
Schley, the hero of Santiago. Admiral
Schley is a stanch Democrat, a native of
Maryland and was spoken of as a candi
date for the Presidency after the Spanish
American War.
Governor Warfleld, of Maryland, under
his constitutional option, may appoint a
successor to Mr. Gorman until the Legis
lature convenes in January, 1908, and se
lects a Senator. It is understood that the
Governor himself has Senatorial aspira
tions which would be favored In 1908 by
his appointment in the meantime of a
notable Democrat.
Mr. Gorman's term expires March 4,
1909.
