Incomplete County Re
turns Are Missing.
OFFICIAL COUNT NEEDED
Klamatli Man's Icad Out of Mult
nomah Is Dissipated by Unex
pected Up-State Strength ot
Salem Jurist.
Charles L,. HcNary, of Salem, now
leads Henry L. Benson, of Klamath
Kails, for the Republican nomination
for Supreme Court by the narrow mar
Bin of two votes.
Seventeen of the 34 counties of the
state have reported their complete re
turns from last Friday's primaries and
only scattering: and outlying precincts
are to be heard from in the incomplete
counties.
It will doubtless take the, official
fount to decide which of these two
candidates will be nominated to the
fourth place on the Republican ticket.
The three other places are held secure
by Henry J. Bean, of Umatilla County;
Ijawrence T. Harris, of Lane County,
and Thomas A. McBride, of Columbia
County, of whose nominations there
has been no doubt since the morning
after election.
Although Judge Benson had a lead
over Judge McNary when the final re
turns from Multnomah County came in
yesterday morning, this advantage was
lost later in the day through the de
layed reports from upstate counties.
Curry's Advantage Slight.
Curry County, which was expected to
be decidedly favorable to Judge Ben
son, gave him an advantage of only
seven votes. The vote there was 81
to 74 for Judge Benson and Judge Mc
Nary, respectively.
Lake County, on the other hand, came
loyally to the support of Judge Ben
son, a former resident of that county.
The complete but unofficial vote of
Lake County gave Judge Benson 266
votes to 66 for Judge McNary. The
former incomplete figures stood 137 to
22 for Judge Benson and Judge Mc
Nary, respectively. The final count,
therefore, gave Judge Benson a net
gain of 85 votes in Lake County.
Wheeler County gave a net gain to
Judge McNary in the day's returns.
The final count added 178 votes to
Judge McNary'a tally and 27 to that of
Judge Benson, giving the former can
didate a net gain of 191.
Tillamook County reported a net gain
of 86 votes in Judge McNary's favor in
the final reports.
'Benson Wins at Home.
Klamath County, Judge Benson's
home county, returned a net gain to
her candidate of 115 votes.
The tinal reports from Union County,
received late last night, changed the
relative position of the two men only
one vote, which was in favor of Judge
Benson.
Grant County added 181 votes to
Juds-e Benson's total and 161 to that
of Judge McNary, giving the Klamath
man a net gain of 20.
Clatsop County's final reports showed
a net gain for Judge Benson of 11
votes while Lincoln County gave Judge
McNary an advantage of six votes.
Standings Krequently Shift.
Scattering returns from single pre
cincts in other counties served to
change the relative position of the con
testants at various times in the day.
Any individual precinct now can throw
the balance either way.
Nearly all the populous counties in
the state have reported. Complete re
turns now have been received from the
following counties: Benton, Clatsop,
Columbia, Curry, Grant, Jackson,
Klamath, Lake, Lane, Lincoln. Marion,
Morrow, Multnomah, Tillamook, Union,
Wasco. Wheeler and Yamhill.
While some of these figures have
been taken from the official returns it
is possible that errors have crept into
the reports, either through copying or
in transmission. The figures on hand,
therefore, are not necessarily correct
and the official count may change the
tinal result materially.
Several Counties Lax.
Among the populous counties that
have failed to report their votes com
plete are Baker. Douglas, Linn, Uma
tilla and Washington. The vote In
Baker and Douglas is close, but Linn
County has been showing a preference
for Judge McNary in the earlier re
turns. Both Umatilla and Washington
counties nary -TJverr slightly favorable
to Judto McNary.
On the other hand, conditions favor
Judge Benson, in view of the fact that
he has been running well in the rural
districts, and it is the rural communi
ties that have yet to report.
So far as the remainder of the Re
publican state ticket is concerned the
results are exactly as presented by The
Oregonian in Its various editions since
the primaries. Dr. James Withv-
combe continues to make slight gains
for the Republican Gubernatorial nom
ination as the returns come in and Dr.
U. J. Smith is maintaining his lead for
the Democratic nomination. The rela
tive positions of the other candidates
remain unchanged.

The time you may give today to investigating this work
will be time well spent. You may, or may not, decide to
buy now. But if you do buy, it will be at a substantial
saving, and you will have the added satisfaction of ac

Is
This Extraordinary Book?
the Secret of Its Success?
It Indispensable to All?
2 PTEIE new Encyclopaedia Britannica
S is an extraordinary book because it
deals with the whole field of human
life, learning and achievement in a manner
commensurate with the complicated needs of
the present day. The world is so big, human
interests so diverse, progress so astonishing,
research so unrelenting, activities in every
direction and in all lands so pressing that no
ordinary book can do justice to them. The
new Encyclopaedia Britannica contains 41,000
articles and 44,000,000 words of text. A
smaller work cannot possibly cover the ground
adequatelj', nor can any collection of 500 sep
arate books cover it.
When 3-0U buy the Britannica, therefore,
you buy quality, but the price you pay for it
(until May 2Sth) is only a little more than
three cents a thousand words.
2, FTVIE success of the new Britannica is
I due to the fact that it was written,
not by "hack" compilers, refurnish
ing old material taken from other books, but
by recognized authorities; by men of action,
men of learning and practical experts by
men whose names "are known for ability,
scholarship and original work in their re
spective fields. "What they tell you in the new
Britannica you can depend on. This is the
reason that people go to this work to verify
what they read elsewhere. It has often been
called the "court of last resort." It is a vast
storehouse of certified knowledge certified
by the signatures attached to the articles. -
When, therefore, you buy the new Britan
nica, you buy not only quantity, but quality
as well. -
g TT IS an indispensable book to the
I worker in any calling, to the writer,
the thinker, the professional man,
the home-maker, or to the young, because they
find that they can go to it with the comfort
able feeling that it will not fail them in any
reasonable demand they may put upon it.
The man who owns the Britannica need not
experience the embarrassment of having to
say "I do not know." He can now always
say, when in doubt, "I know where to find
out." '
The service the work affords to the information-seeker,
or to the man who wishes to
"read up" an entire subject, is little short of
amazing, and this is best appreciated by those
who try to put it to good use.
