THE MORXENG OKEGOXIAX, 8ATCKDAT, JUNE 6, 1HOS. ELECTORS DEFEAT MANY MEASURES Country Districts Pile Up Big Majority Against Single Tax Amendment. -t OPEN-TOWN BILL ALSO HIT Official itcturn9 From Many Coun ties Show That Armory and Wom an Suffrage Legislation Go Down Fish Dills Pass. Practically complete returns from 21 counties on six Important amendments and initiative measures which were at iBsue In the election of June 1 were compiled yesterday by The Oregonian and do not materially alter the earlier forecasts made on the less complete count. Latest figures confirm beyond doubt earlier Indications that the armory bill, woman suffrage, single tax and the Reddy or open-town bill have been defeated by overwhelming majorities. The lower river fish bill, on the other hand, has been carried by a wide margin. The vote for the upper river fish bill was not do heavy, but it also has been enacted by the elect ors. The majority against single tax will probably be larger than against any other of the amendments. On the re turns at hand for 20 counties, which in nearly all cases are the official count, the bill Is defeated 24.209 to 46.258, a margin against the bill of 22.049, which will be greatly increased by returns from counties as yet not heard from. The heaviest majorities against single tax were cast In the more strictly agri cultural districts, and this was true in both Eastern and Western Oregon. For instance, in l.inn County, the vote was 865 for and 3477 against, while in l.'nion County 723 votes were cast for the measure and 1294 against. Although supporters of the armory bill were slow to give up hope of its enactment, that amendment has also been badly beaten. Present figures rthow that 25.R31 voters favored - the Mil, while 40,85 contributed to its de fea t. On woman suffrage the unfavorable majority is even larger. In the 21 counties at hand 2S,Tt0 citizens voted for the bill and 42,975 against it, an unfavorable majority of 17.215. The Reddy open-town bill was also severely dealt with. The vote now stands 2S.240 for and 37,233 against, a majority of 8993. On the upper river fish bill the vote was 35.181 for and 30.3i9 against, a ft vorable majority of only 4792. The vofi on the lower river bill was 41,194 for and 23,691 ajrainst, a majority of 17.?. All of these majorities will be large ly increased by the counties still to be heard from. In several of the counties no count was kept on the amendments afd tie results will not be known until the official canvpss Is completed.

Jaeger, Representative-elect from this county, yesterday unquali fiedly announced that he would sup port Governor Chamberlain for Sena tor. When communicated with at his home by telephone Wednesday night, Mr. Jaeger declined to discuss the sub ject at that time, being opposed to giv ing an interview over the telephone. He explained yesterday that in his business transactions he does not re ceive any orderB by telephone and thereby avoids the possibility of any misunderstanding. He thus accounted for still greater aversion to being in terviewed in the same way on a ques tion of important political interest Jaeger Never AVavered. "Most assuredly I shall voie for Governor Chamberlain, the choice of a majority of the people of the state," said Mr. Jaeger yesterday. "I have been engaged in business in Portland for a great many years and aside from my business interests I have a reputa tion at stake. I certainly cannot af ford to violate my agreement with the people who have elected me by a large majority. There is no influence that can dissuade me from carrying out the wishes of my constituents. I never have entertained any other idea than to support the popular choice for Sen ator." In a letter to Tha Oregonian, W. J.
