TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1912. 12 LISTER PLURALITY HOW REACHES 983 Though Governor Hay Gains Steadily in Day Late Re turns Hurt Him. OFFICIAL COUNT PROBABLE Roosevelt Progressives Elect AH Their Candidates for Legislature in Pierce and Number In King and Otber Counties. SEATTLE. -Wash.. Nov. $. With 75 small precincts outstanding. Lister, Democrat, for Governor, has 94.615 votes; Hay. Republican. 93,632. Lister's plurality, 983. Governor Hay gained steadily In the returns received today and wiped out nearly 1000 of the plurality with which Lister began the day. However, the small counties from which Hay expected pluralities are pretty well cleared up and the pre cincts outstanding; are in many coun ties. It is possible that tomorrow's re turns may take away Lifter's plurality and the official count will be necessary to determine the winner. The Roosevelt Progressives elected all their candidates for the Legislature in Pierce County and a number in Kins and otber counties. Some of the members-elect were prominent in the Roosevelt Progressive movement until the parting of the ways and then de ridcd to stay with the Republican party because they were sure of nom nation and election. These probably will act with the Roosevelt Progres sives in the Legislature. Hay Still Haa Hope. Governor Hay, at Olympla. said over the telephone to the Associated Press this afternoon that he believed he would win in the race for Governor when the official returns arrive. The Governor said that this morn In? he had conceded defeat, but later returns led him to withdraw the concession. "i shall not give up until the last vote is In and the official count an nounced." said Governor Hay. "I be lieve I will win." it is estimated that the Socialists polled 40.000 votes for Debs in Wash ington. Mlsa Anna Maley, Socialist candidate for Governor, did not run nearly so well. In Snohomish and Kit- tap counties Debs got more votes than either Wilson or Taft. These are both Roosevelt counties, however, and the Roosevelt Progressives got the county offices and seats in the Legislature. A Socialist Representative to the Legis lature was elected from Mason County. One Socialist May Win. There Is a chance that a Socialist Senator was elected from the dlsrrict embracing Kitsap. Mason and Island counties. Still other Socialist candi dates are yet to report. Owing to the exciting contest for the Governorship an attempt has not been made to com pile a list of members of the Leglsia ture. It Is known, however, that i great many Roosevelt Progressives were elected; also that the Democrats made gains. It is not unlikely that the Roosevelt Progressives and Democrats combined will have a majority in the- House. Half the Senators hold over, and they are nearly all Republicans, hence the new Senate will be safely Republican. There are no decisive returns on offi cers below Governor, but it is believed that the majority of the Republican candidates were elected, the other places going to the Progressives. Among the members of the new House is Thomas F. Murphine. who, as chairman of the King County Repub lican committee, engineered a coup last Spring which resulted in a split in the Republican party in the county. The quarrel was taken to the Aberdeen con vention, then to the Chicago Repub lican convention, and was made a Na tional Issue by Roosevelt. Murphine has announced his candidacy for the speakership.

GRANTS PASS SWIXGS TO WETS Change Aner Four Years of Dryness Vital in Coming: Election. GRANTS PASS. Or Nov. 8. (Special.) After four years In the dry column, both city and county have, swung into the wet column. There was a grim de termination to keep the town and coun ty dry on the one side and to make it wet on the other. The first ward in town is dry by 27. The other three town units opened witn tair majori ties, while the whole town went wet by 86. There Is some aftermath noise going around that, owing to Irregularities, the Fourth Ward will be thrown out, but at most this, would result only in a re count, that would take but a short time to accomplish. It is claimed that three jlerks were not employed in mis ill the time and that three tally sheets were not forthcoming at the conclusion 3f the count. But the judges swore in another clerk, and the work went rlgh. along. Before the election the drys nneht the Circuit Judge to Issue an in junction restraining the County Clerk from proceeding witn me pnniins the ballots on the ground that the peti tions were irregular, but tnai iaueo also. The town going wet will cnange the results in the coming city election materially. ThrH candidates are already in the field. T. F. Hanley. Socialist: H. L. Her xinger, a Councilman of the Fourth Ward, and Kooert j. mnn. preacm. u.vnr' There is some talk ot putting a fourth man in the field, rather than let it go to a three-cornerea ngni uu the last city election, which resulted In a plurality of only three. No definite results have Deen outunea uy iw "li ferent partisans so far that will fore cast the results. KELSO WETS WILL CONTEST Irregularities Claimed in Recent Election Won "by Drys. c. RXTRALIA. Wash.. Nov. 8. (Spe cial.)

Toledo went "wet by a substantial majority, while Win lock. Napavine, Little Falls and Pe Ell went "dry." although Napavine. being n nnincoraorated toVn, may go "wet" again by the vote in the outside towns In the county. New Mexico Vote Heavy. AT.RTTOTTERQUE. N. M Nov. 8. With returns practically complete, the vote cast for Presidential electors in the state totalled 43,806. considerably lars-er than had been expected. The vote was as follows: Wilson 17,982, Taft 15.512. Roosevelt 7988, Debs 2024, Chafin 300. Louisville Clnb to Be Sold. LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Nov. 8.

LANE'S ELECIIOH IS NOV MORE CERTAIN Lead Over Selling Is 1499 and Returns Are More Than Four-Fifths In. BOURNE IS 11,871 BEHIND Republican Nominee Beats Incum bent by 10,372 Votes Wilson Has Advance of 9196, With Taft Third In Contest. I With receiDt of complete or nearly complete returns from every county in the state excepting Curry and Lake. Dr. Harry Lane's election to succeed Jona than Bourne in the United States Sen ate was given additional surety yes terday. The county now gives Lane 36,247 to 34.748 for Selling, his nearest competitor. Lane's lead over Bourne is 11,871, while Selling has beaten Bourne in the tate by 10.372 ontne Ilgures now .v su able. This latter fact is ot particular interest among the betting iraterniiy, , , K Ca 1. as much money was 8"wi hmh. ing would have a lead ot lo.oou over Bourne. Those who took tne oewnis end now seem to have won their money. Lane Geta Multnomah. Complete unofficial returns show that Multnomah county has gone to bane by a margin of 1744 votes over Selling. Selling's lead over Lane In tne staie outside of Multnomah county is j votes. While no figures yet viuui from Curry County advices from there are to the effe'et that Lane has a strong lead over both Bourne ana sening. t:n Bhnnld Selling carrv Lake County It Is probable that whatever lead he may get there will be offset by Lane's advantage In Curry. As most of the other counties have reported more thap four-fifths of their vote it is probable that Lane's plurality will not be much changed. . Taft Finishes Third. Additional returns put Wilson's vote In the state at large at 42,366, ana Roosevelt's at 33,169, while President Taft has 31,842. The three candidates likely will maintain these relative po sitions and former forecasts as to the plurality for Wilson ot iv.vvv vuieo probably will be affirmed by the final result. The Debs vote in the state at large probably will reach 12,000, which is the hLghest the Socialist candidate for President ever received in Oregon. Woman suffrage in Oregon now is assured. The favorable vote on tne measure was increased yesteraay Dy further returns from the outside coun ties. The majority now stands at 3120. Even Multnomah County, which at first threatened to go against it, has enlist ed on the side of suffrage. The com- nlete figures in the county are ls.yo for the measure and H.474 against' it. Tax Measure Carries. The tax amendment for the classi fication of property has safely car ried. Both Multnomah County and the state declared In its favor. The Grange road bill which seemea to be In doubt yesterday now appears certain of defeat. While Multnoman County gave it a favorable majority of approximately 3000 votes the outside counties have overcome this margin and contributed an adverse vote suffi cient to kill it. The margin against it will be about 1400. The "blue sky law. drawn to pro tect investors In stock companies, also hau heen relected. Here again the vot ers of Portland and the remainder of Multnomah County declared in its fa vor with a majority of 3500, but the upstate counties have piled up .a vote against It, the adverse majority now being 586. However, several counties have yet to report their complete vote on this measure and It has a slight chance to escape defeat. Income Tax in Doubt. Multnomah gawe the income tax measure a close vote, ana tne resun Is still In doubt. The difference against it in the county was but 265, added to which the state vote gives it an un Rvnmhle maioritv of 560. With several counties having yet to report, the bill seems certain of rejection. Added returns yesterday increasea the majority against the boycott bill. The railroad rate bill gained favor able votes In yesterday's returns. The vote on this measure now stands 30,854 In favor and 27,514 against. Efforts were made yesteraay to oo- tain complete figures rrom several oi the outlying counties, but full returns probably will not be available until the official count is made. In some places this will not be completed until next week. Th vote on those measures pre viously reported carried or rejected have not been changed by later re turns.

(Special) While returns are still so meager and indefinite on members of the Legisla ture as to preclude any actual state ment as to the line-up of the As sembly or the Senate they still con tinue to show that both bodies will probably be overwhelmingly Republi can, although It is possicle that in the House the Democrats -will show an increase over the number of Demo rj-its in the last session. In the session of 1911 there were two Democrats and two Independents. Returns show that already two Demo crats have been elected and there is a possible chance of some more making their way into the lawmaking body, but the Republican majority will be overwhelming. This condition Is also liable to hold true in the State Senate. There are two holdover Senators from the last session, but it is not likely that the addition of Democrats to this number willabe great.
