will reach & Complete returns from
! precincts and incomplete returns from
1 others of a total of 115 precincts give
Taft a lead over Bryan of 5rt. Com
plete return for the county will Increase
his plurality to about 9v0.
The total vote In the county was about
3I.IKH). or nearly K per cent of the regis
tered vote, which aggregated 3S.4S. The
Republicans polled about 25.000 votes, or
fully M per tent of their registered
strength. CSIOS The Democratic vote
did not exceed tiie same per cent of thoir
registered vote, which aggregated 0J.
One of the surprises of the result In
this county was the Socialist vote, which
will not exceed S. Four years ago
Debs received TiTl In Multnomah county,
but his big vote at that time Is attrib
uted to the fact that in 194 the Socialist
nominee received the votes of a great
many Democrats who preferred Debs to
Alton B. Parker, the regular nominee of
their party. This year that element of
the Democratic party returned to mi
support of Bryan, bringing with them I
considerable following from the Social
ists, particular- from the laboring
' classes, who were attracted to the Ne-
braskan by his elaborate promises In his
injunction plank.
l'hHn. the Prohibitionist nominee,
did not receive as large a vote in the
county as was expected. In 1904 the
nominee of the cold water advocates
received 3SS0 votes In this county. The
vote for Chafln this year probably will
reach I3u.
Hlsgen. the Independence party nom
lne. was not in the running. In prob
ably half of the precincts of the county
.he did not receive a single vote, while
"in the others he was Indorsed by a
lonesome one or two votes, a total of a
dozen or a score in any one precinct
being Indeed rare. His total vote In
the county, wjth the count Incomplete,
is 42.
The actual count shows a discrep
ancy in the total number of votes cast
in the county. This was due to the
fact that in a great many precincts a
large number were tnrown out because
of being defective. The number of re
jected ballots in several precincts
reached 18 and
Scenes attending the balloting
throughout the city were devoid of
great Interest. Tne provisions of the
corrupt practices act were generally
regarded and the usual buttonholing of
electors at the voting places was not
observed anywhere. Voters very gen
erally discarded campaign buttons and
other outward evidences of their party
choice before going to the booths,
which were deserted except for the
members of the election board, the citi
gens cabting their ballots and an oc
casional policeman who was in attend
ance in case his services were required.
So far as completed the count shows
that Bryan carried two precincts In
the county. The vote In precinct 74
was 1 7e to 115 In favor of the Nebras
kan. while he also was successful In
precinct Its by a vole of 130 to 1 -ti.

IDEAL DAY, HEAVY

Corrupt Practices Act Takes
. All Excitement Out of Elec
tion Day in Portland.
CROWDS WATCH BULLETINS
Streets Jammed With Noisy Throngs
Reading Oregonian Results and
Yelling for Taft Red-Fire
Signals Prove Success.
Ideal weather conditions, the most per
fect perhaps in the history of Oregon on
election day. prevailed In Portland yes
terday, and Incidentally aided in the Re
publican victory. Absolutely new and
extremely novel conditions in regard to
political workings throughout the city
made the day as quiet and devoid of In
cident as" a June Sunday In the country.
It was Portland s Hrst election under
the operation of the Huntley corrupt
practice law. a conspicuous ' result of
which was the absence of distressed
looking Individuals who have been ac-
customed for years in this city to dis
tribute cards and arguments in the vi
cinity of the voting places. Another fea
ture waa the absence of carriages with
flaring banners, lithographs, cards and
dodgers.
Enthusiasm ran hteh last night, though

pitch. '
Crowds Watch Oregon Ian Bulletins
At Sixth and Alder streets, where The
Oregonlan's bulletin's were posted, the
crowd grew as the night progressed. It
collected early in the evening, neiore
darkness fell, and by 8 o'clock the streets
for blocks were Jammed with a dense
mass of cheering humanity.
From every elevation in the city and
from many a house-top watchers waited
Intently early In the evening for the
lights from The Oregonian tower, in
the business districts thousands stood
upoa the streets to catch the first
glimpse of the blazing symbol, and there
was a deafening roar from the crowds as
the feeble rays of a red light began to
glow from The Oregonian tower. ' It
grew in strength and volume as the light
flared up and the red rays flashed the
news of Taft s election.
Through the streets paraded hundreds
of men, women and boys, tooting horns
shouting and almost rioting in their ex
citement. However., there were few ar
rests, few accidents and practically no
unpleasant 'features. If the hideour
noises may be overlooked.
Heavy Vote Polled.
A short time after the opening of the
polls yesterday morning it was apparent
that the vote would be heavy, for it waa
estimated at 10 o'clock that fully 25 per
cent of the vote had been cast. The
weather was the most perfect. It is said.
of any election day in the history of tho
state. The voting continued heavy un
til late in the afternoon, when the work
of Judges and clerks relaxed somewhat,
but the crush became heavy again froiv
6 o clock until the closing of the polls.
2x-Councilman J. F. Booth came verv
near losing his vote In Precinct Is. JJf
forts were being made by C. B. Lock
wood to swear in the ex-Councilman's
vote, but the Judges refused. Lockwood
Insisted so strenuously that the Judges
finally called a -policeman for the pur
pose or ejecting Mr. ljockwood.
At the office of The Oregonian and at
the Information departments of both
telephone companies there were con
tinual requests for information as to the
result. The requests began early in the
evening and continued throughout the
night. However, considerable difficulty
was encountered by those attempting to
provide Information In obtaining the
votes for the Socialist and Independence
candidates.
"Information, please tell me how the
vote for the Independence Party is run
ning," was asked the Information depart
ment of one of the local telephone com
panies.
Independence Parly Unknown. ,

But for the opportune arrival of George
H. 1 nomas, chairman of the Democratic
state committee, the Democratic National
Committeeman, Milton A. Miller, might
nave lost ms vote. .Mr. Miller was in
precinct 16 and had five freeholders to
swear In his vote because the Judges
didn't know him. He was unable to
find another to make the required six,
but Mr. Thomas arrived, and the com
mitteeman was able to vote.
Two saloons were found running by
the police and the proprietors were
promptly placed under arrest. There were
no arrests as the result of the operation
of the corrupt practice law, and Indeed
few paid any attention to that portion
of the law prohibiting political discus
sions. Mrs. Woodcock Greatly Pleased.
Mrs. Woodstock. "Rosenfeld's" friend
and supporter, is the only person In the
city, so far as Is known, who violated
the corrupt practice law. Armed with a

whooping It up for "Rosenfeld's" oholce.

a handsome majority.
"The Taylor-street Methodist Church

bration of the result," said Mrs. Wood
cock, but members of the church will
likely deny it. "and I gave them JS, for
I had promised them that if Taft was

Xebraskan Has Good Lead by Jail
er's Straw A'ote.
Deputy County Clerks Christensen
and Briggs were kept busy at the
County Clerk's office all day yester
day answering telephone inquiries
regarding election. About 1:30 P. M.
there was a stampede of voters to the
telephones, and for a time the clerks
were all busy. The polls had been
closed in some instances while the
Judges and clerks went to luncheon
and the voters wanted to know It this
was lawful. Upon looking up the law
It was found that the judges and clerks
have a right to close the polls between
1 and 2 P. M. while they go to lunch.
Although the 97 men incarcerated in
the County Jail did not have an op
portunity to vote yesterday. Jailer
"Dad" Hunter took a straw vote which
Indicated Bryan as the choice of the
"Jailbirds."
The straw vote stood as follows:
Bryan 47. Taft 39, Debs 7, Chafln 2,
Hisgen 2.
Except for the few who came to
inquire about the election, the Court
house was practicajly deserted yester
day. The La Rose and Reid murder
trials will be taken up again this
morning at 9:30 o'clock. In the latter
case, however. Judge Gantenbein has
laid down a rule that none but attor
neys, witnesses and newspaper men
will be admitted to the trial. In the
La Rose case four Jurors are yet to be
selected, and as the regular panel is
almost exhausted, it is probable that
an order for a special venire will be
issued.
