CHAMBERLAIN 1118 PLURALITY OF OVER 1 000 Democrat Defeats Cake for U.S.' Sen ator in State CARRIES FOURTEEN COUNTIES Legislature Has 52 Statement No. 1 Members. . RESULT NO LONGER IN DOUBT Hawley for Congress Has 15, OOO Plurality. ELLIS ALSO DOES WELL Aitrhison, Rep., Wins For R. R. Com missioner So Poes Camp bell Bean, JudgeBailey Tood Commissioner. Governor Chamberlain. Democrat, has carried the state of Oregon for United States Senator over H. M. Cake. Repub lican, by a majority ranging: from 1000 to 1200. Returns from all the counties are nearly enough complete to leave no question of the result. Chamberlain has . been successful in 14 out of the 23 counties, as follows: Baker, Clackamas, Clatsop, Crook. Douglas, Jackson, Jo sephine, Lincoln, Linn, Malheur, Marlon, Multnomah, Polk and Union, and prob ably in Lake. v Mr. Cake has carried the remaining 18 counties, but his average pluralities are much smaller than, his opponents. The largest margin given by any county for the Republican candidate was BOO in Lane, where the unpopular action of the Democratic Governor in vetoing the state university appropriation had a great in fluence on the voters! Cake's smallest plurality was 18 in Benton. The County of Baker, which the Portland Republican candidate for Senator carried by a large plurality in the primaries, reversed its friendly attitude towards him and gave his rival more than 300. The same re sult occurred in Clackamas. The East ern Oregon counties, however, as a rule, although they were for Fulton in the primaries, gave, the Republican candidate pluralities, although they were small in nearly every instance. Umatilla, how ever, which Is the home of Senator Ful ton's strongest friends, rolled up over 800 for the man who beat him In .'April. Wasco, which was yesterday thought to have gone for Chamberlain. comes through finally with a small plurality for Cake. Governor Chamberlain had the unex pectedly large plurality of BOO In Clacka mas, the home of Statement No. 1, but In Clatsop, the residence of Senator Fulton, where the Democratic nominee relied on a plurality of from 600 to 1000, he had only 300. It Is not denied, however, that many of Senator Fulton's Astoria friends vigorously knifed the Portland Repub lican nominee, but the results of their slaughter were not 60 serious to him as they might have been In view of the fact that the large fishing contingent In the lower river town was hostile to the Democratic Governor, and declined to support him. In Crook County, the home of ex-Representative Williamson, a warm friend and supporter of the Astoria. Senator, the Democratic nominee had a decided plurality. Linn, the old home of tne Governor, gave him more than 400. In Marlon the margin is very close, prac tically complete returns, however, showing; a Democratic lead of about. 100. In Multno mnn tne early expectations that Gov ernor Chamberlain would have from 1200 to 1500 are not borne out by the later re turns. Indeed, It appeared to be probable from the reports of many precincts yes terday morning that Chamberlain bad carried the largest county in the state by only the slenderest vote, if at ell; but later in the day, when the heavy East Side precincts began to make their re ports, the figures In his favor began again to Increase, until there was more than 700 plurality, with about three-fourths of the count In the county complete. Final returns in Multnomah will give Chamber aln at least 900 over Caks and perhaps 1000. In the figures on Senator which The Oregonlan presents this morning, every county In the state Is fully rep resented except Lake.. Many of them are complete. Lake has probably gone for Chamberlain, but there Is a dispute as to the result and The Ore- gonlan In Its completion estimates it to be a tie. There is no chance for material variation . in . the final, returns. The plurality of Governor Chamberlain (Concluded on Fax 9.)

RLOW TO STAND-PATTERS Their Strongholds Lost in First Direct Primary. CUMMINS CLAIMS 25,000 Oldest Member of Senate Apparently Beaten by Progressive, Tariff-Re vision Leader Amazing Suc- "" cess In the Big Cities. - DES MOINES, Iowa. June "2. (Spe cial.) While both sides In the Sena torial contest claim the victory In to day's Republican primaries, the indi cations at a late hour are that Gov ernor Cummins has defeated Senator Allison by a small majority. This Is the first test of the new primary law. There were many " surprises in the returns. Southern Iowa seems to have (rone throngh a revolution. The City of Clarlnda, home of Congressman Hepburn, gave Cummins 426 and Alli son only 208, and this victory by the Governor is taken by his adherents as a sample of the results that will be reported from the stand-pat territory. At the same time, the Governor Is holding his own or showing gains in Northern Iowa, which is 'the natural progressive territory. Cummins Claims 25,000 Majority. However, the Allison people do not concede anything At this hour, and still claim the"electlon by a small major ity. At the Cummons headquarters a statement was issued claiming at least 25.000 majority for the Governor. The City of Burlington, home of J. W. Blythe, leader of the stand-pat forces, went for Cummins. Sioux City, the home of George . D. Perkins, who -was the op ponent. o , DoVernor " Cutmnlns for the nomination two years ago, is claimed by the Cummins men, thougn the Allison ad herents had expected to carry. It by 1000. Davenport, on the other hand. Is claimed by the Allison people by about 1500 and it is thought that Scott County has gone heavily against the Governor, because of his enforcement ot the law compelling saloons to close there. At 11 o'clock 94 precincts had given Al lison 33S5 and Cummins 0493. This would give the Governor a majority In the state at the same ratio of about 25,000. This total does not Include IS precincts in this county. Polk, the home of the Governor, which gave him 1552 majority, indicating a majority for him in the county of about 3500. At Sioux City the Allison men were conceding the Eleventh District to Cum mins by S500 to 4000 majority. Chairman Adams, of the Allison headquarters, con ceded it Monday night by only 2000. In Sioux City and Woodbury County the pro gressives made an .amazing fight and claim to have carried the county. Wins Heavily in Every Precinct. In Creston- the indications were that Cummins had carried the city. In Ottumwa the Cummins men seemed to have carried every precinct but two or three; In Wapello County the Allison men scaled down their original claims of 750 majority to 300. In some sections of the state Demo crats are alleged to have voted the Re publican ticket. - PORTLAND SIGNS FIGHT ON STEAMER; MACLEAY REFEREE PORTLAND MAX'S EXPERIENCE WITH CARD SHARPS.
