Uncertain.
Return from the Oregron primary
election yeaterday, received up to 3
o'clock this niorntnK, Indicate clearly
that H. M. Cake has defeated Chat-lea
W. Kulton for the Republican nomina
tion for United States Senator by a
majority rang-lng from 3000 to 604)0.
Cake carries Multnomah County by a
majority of 3000. Returns from the re
mainder of .the state show that Cake,
with a third of the vote counted, leads
by 1000. Fulton has carried Clateop
and Liana by heavy votes, cutting; down
Cake's lead In the state. Cake has
probably carried a larger number of
counties than Kulton.
For Representative of the First Dis
trict W. H. Kills appears to have
won over T. T. Oeer, although the mea
ger returns received did not decisively
Indicate this result. Oaorge S. Shep
herd ha carried Multnomah County by
2000 or more for the Congressional
nomination and haa run well In the
lower river counties; but he appears
to be far behind both Kills and Geer in
Eastern Oregon. Shepherd's lead In
Multnomah will In all probability be
overcome by Ellis' plurality in the re
mainder of the district. It la Impos
sible to aay at thla hour., 1 A.. Mt,
whether Shepherd or Gear will be third
in the race. Later returns, indeed, may
change the entire complexion of the
present situation, but It la not prob
able.

Judge without opposition. So also la
W. C. Hawley nominated for Congress
In the First District. No returns were
received by The Oregonian laat night to
show whether Jcffery or Derby has won
the nomination In the Second District.
C. B. Altchlson was In the lead for
Railroad Commissioner for the Second
District and Is probably nominated.
Thomaa K. Campbell Is successful for
Railroad Commissioner In the First Dis
trict. J. W. Bailey has beaten Dr. Alex

today by Mayor L. N. Blowors, It la
inrllcated that a qulPt campatfrn Is tKMnj?
niufin to HPruro dWt'KHlea from Orexon to
the National Ilrpubtlrun Convention
plntlfffd to a ticket that shall read.
"La Follftte and Rooaevolt," or "Roose
vclt and JLa Kollctto."
One of the tetters Is from Senator
La Kollfitto'a private ncrctary. written
on the ntationery provided for tho Wi
of the United States Senate, and Is,
therefore oontildered to have been srlven
the endorsement and approval of the
favorite aon of Wisconsin. Th other,
which boars the signature of one known
to be very close to Senator Bourne,
makes a plea for deleKates to be ent to
the state convention from Wasco County
similarly pledged.
Have Some Anrturance.
It Is inferred from this that Senators
Bourne and La Follette may have re
reived assurances of some kind from
President Roosevelt that he has recon
sidered his previous decision in regard to
becoming a candidate, and that If enough
delegates can be secured to Insure hie
nomination he will accept.
While the few local politicians who have
seen tha lottrs can understand why the
President might be Induced to consider
a ticket that reads "Roosevelt and
La Follette," they can scarcely credit
the idea of one that would bear the cap
tion "La Follette and RooneveH."
The letters read as follows:

NBW YORK. April 17.-Dr. H. M. Mac
Cracken, chairman of the New York Uni
versity, who has visited the Danish, Nor
wegian and Swedish universities to Intro
duce plan for an Interchange of profess
or, returned home today on the steamer
Mauretanla.
Speaking of hie lectures In the Scan
dinavian universities. Dr. MacOacken said
that he found everywhere a strong senti
ment In favor of the Interchange of pro
fessors. He thought that the Income of

a fund of jaoo.OOO would be sufficient to
cover the expenses of three professors
during alx months of work every year.
Dr. MuoTXtoken said:
"King Haakon of Norway, with whom
my son and myself lunched, ImpruMcd me
aa being a man of unusual Intellect. He
displayed a knowledge of political econ
omy and allied sciences which would
easily qualify him for a professorship In
an American university.
"He expressed regret that so many Nor
wegians should come here and said that
he hoped to check tho exodus of his Sub
jects to the new world."
Dr. MacOracken quoted the King as say
Ins; to him:
"I found a colony of Socialists, poor
worklngmen, In the north of Norway,
who told me all property should be
equally divided. I said to them:
" 'Suppose that at 12 o'clock on TYIday
we divided the wealth of Norway as you
suggest. Within live minutes there will
have been a number of babies born In the
country; and shall we then divide again
wnn mem;
"They had not thought even as far aa
that and the proposition floored them. I
could black my own boots, if I wished to.
I nave done It and therefore knew: hut if
1 did. what would become of tho people
who make a living blacking boots? I be
lieve In a division of labor.
We were speaking of the Socialist de
mand for equality at the time." said the
chancellor, "and he emphatically stated
mat in ms Deiier there would be no such
thin."

ROCHKSTER. N. Y.. April 17. "Just
here to pay my respects to the Colonel;
that's all." said W. J. Connors, of Bur.
falo, chairman of the state Democratic
committee, at the reception held for W.
J. Bryan In the Powers Hotel this after
noon. "There in no political significance In the
meeting," Mr. Bryan had said a momemt
before to the reporters, and had called
Mr. Connors back to confirm his state
ment. Norman K. Mack, of Buffalo, Do ne
crotic National committeeman, who had
a conference with the Nebraskan In the
morning, had much the same to a y of
his meeting, and, so far as Is known, no
political significance is to be attached to
any meetings held here by Mr. Bryan
with politicians.
There was a good-sized crowd at the
New York Central Station to -welcome
Mr. Bryan this morning. The Demo
cratic reception was headed by Judge
John D. Linn.
Tallrs on R-ll(rlon and Scterrrce-.
After his Interview with Mr. Mack and
a brief rest, Mr. Bryan spoke Mt a meet
ing or the Rochester MlnlHterlaJ Asocla
tlon In M. C; A. Hall, jn, address
was tinged with optimism. He empha
sised the Idea of the rclatlun between
true religion and fundamental science
and then made a few suggeHtkns on how
to bring men Into the church and make
Christians of them. The tlionght that
Christianity, If It were to dUx-barge its
mission, must come Into vftnu relation
with the daily life of the people was made
prominent In this address.
In the afternoon Mr. Bryan made an
address at the University of Rochester
on education and he spoke at length on
public speaking and Its- Importance.

Says Dreamers Have the Coin.
"My enemies have calllod me a
dreamer," said Mr. Bryan, "but I can
hark back to holy writ for lustlfloatlnn
of my course. Joseph was set down a
a dreamer by his brethren, hirt after hi.
exile Into Egypt, wlwn hla brethren
needed corn they found that the dreamer
had corn. So has It h.m in .n th.
ages that the reputed dreamier has had
the corn and haa been the savior of his
fellow-men.
"There has been a healtliy growth of
public sentiment In our farvor since my
nomination in 1KTW. I must concede that
my candidacy was in the nature of a
disadvantage at any time, but during
that campaign I had ofton hoped- that
it might prove of decided advantage, f
was a young man then, more than 10
years younger thau any pn-ravtous aspir

Killed and Burled, but Still Lives.
"Again, I lived in tho West, and that
was enough to condemn. We are a
Bible-reading people and we are likely
to confuse time with place in our read
ing of the Scripture. Th wise men ar
said to have come out of the Kast, and
that may have led to the belief in 1898
that they must continue to come from
the same direction. However, the fact
that I still remain In politics should be
sufficient to disabuse our Republican
friends of the laUer-nvntloned idea.
"In 1896 I was burlert. I know it, for
I have often read about It. When I re
appeared in 1900 I mystified many Re
publicans, who did- not know whether I
had ever been killed or had Juat been
resurrected. At St. Louis I was run
over and trampled upon, but still I live.'
In discussing the money question Mr.
Bryan said It would be a nonentity In
the approaching campaign, but said:
"A silver dollar loses haif of Its value
when melted, but melt a cashier's check
and what is left?"
Mr. Bryan will go to Utlca tomorrow
and deliver- an address there tomorrow
night. He expects to reach New York on
Monday, where he will meet Mrs. Bryan
and will return with her to Lincoln, Neb.
