RECALL LOSES
ON HEAVY VOTE
Returns at- Midnight Keep
In All 3 Officials.
WATER PLAN VOTE CLOSE
Mayor Upheld Nearly 2 to 1.
Dieck's and Brewster's
: Indorsement Less.
VERDICT IS DECISIVE ONE
Between 55 and 60 Per Cent
of Registered Voters Re
buke Recall Aspirants. ,
The attempted recall of Mayor Albee
and Commissioners deck and Brew
ster yesterday failed miserably and de
cisively. By a heavy majority each of the
three officials was re-elected to remain
in office. .
At midnight last night it appeared
that Mayor Albee would gret a vote of
about two to one over his two com
petitors. Dleck and Brewster have been re
elected by a closer margin., but each
of them will have votes to spare.
Water Plan May Carry.
The vote on the so-called Daly water
ordinance is close. It has a majority
of 703 in tbe present count.
s An unexpectedly large vote was cast.
Based on the total number of votes in
185 out of the 292 city precincts, it is
estimated that nearly 60 per cent of the
registered voters In the city went to
the polls. With a total registration of
S.J47 n these same precincts, the total
vote cast therefore Is figured at more
than 52.000.
".No" Vote Is Heavy.
Jt is evident thai , the voters regis
tered their disapproval of the recall
by their answers to the questions on
the ballot.
The questions. "Shall H. R. Albee be
recalled?" "Shall Robert G. Dieck be
recalled?" and "Shall "William L. Brew
ster be recalled?" were answered by a
majority In the negative in each in
stance. 'The East Side voted harder against
the recall than did the West Side. The
attempt to recall Mayor Albee met with
a particularly severe rebuke east of the
river, where the vote in his favor was
at the ratio of about three to one.
Both Dleck and Brewster carried the
East Side districts by a . two-to-one
vote.
Mayor Albee carried the West Side
by nearly two to one. but in some pre
cincts both Dleck and Brewster, had
narrow escapes.
Ninety-two out of the 98 West Side
precincts either complete or incomplete
STive 4632 votes for the recall of Mayor
Albee and 8000 against.
The same precincts cast 5587 votes
for th recall of Commissioner Dieck
and 6827 against and 5127 for the recall
of Commissioner Brewster and 6920
against.
Incomplete returns from all parts of
the East Side give 3707 votes for the
recall of Albee and 10,144 against.
The same territory returned 4919
-votes for the recall of Dieck and 8G92
against, and 4301 for the recall of
Brewster and 8927 against.
At midnight the complete count in
265 precincts on both the East Side
and West Side showed 11,182 votes for
the recall of Mayor Albee and 22,891
against, giving him a majority of
11.689.
The same precincts gave 14,226 votes
for the recall of Commissioner Dieck
and 19,316 votes against, giving him
a favorable majority of 5090.
In this same territory the returns
gave 12,735 votes for the recall of
Commissioner Brewster and 19,657
astainst. a majority in his favor of
6922.
It is evident that those who voted
for any one of the recall candidates on
first choice voted for the other one on
second choice.
Those who voted for the Incumbent
officials seldom exercised their second
choice privileges, according to the face
of the returns.
Mayor Albee's total first choice
votes in the 265 precincts that had
made returns up to midnight was 18,
96$: his second choice votes only 285.
The first choice vote of B. E. Ken
nedy, recall candidate for Mayor, was
549. second choice. 2921; for Eugene
K. Smith, first choice, 452i; second
choice, 3115.
This gives Albee a plurality on first
choice votes over Kennedy of 13,419.
Commissioner Dlecks total first
vote in this same set of precincts was
15,204, second choice 333. The first
choice votes for H. E. Abry. candidate
for Commissioner against Dleck, was
3496, second choice 3671; for George
Parrlsh. first choice 9235. second choice
2027. This gives Dieck a plurality of
first choice votes over Parrlsh of ' 969.
Commissioner Brewster received 15,
S53 votes of 10.577 for W. A. Ltct, giv
ing him a majority of 5276.

FREE DUTY HELD RUINOUS
Statement Shows How Industries of
Pacific Coast, Exposed to Cheap
Labor, Need Return of
Protective System.
(Before leaving for Southern Oregon last
night tC A. Booth Issued the following
statement defining the Issues : of -the cam
paign and his own position toward them):.
' If - it was to be ' repeated, ' I .would
conduct a clean campaign, -Just as 1
have done. Wilful falsifiers and mud
slingers are going to be put to. rout
by the vote of November 3, I am sure.
If so, the same tactics will not soon be
pursued again, in Oregon. I had rather
use clean methods and be defeated than
to win by foul ones.
Voters are closely analyzing this year
and comparing the conditions that pre
vail under Republican and Democratic
Administrations. If we prosper under
Republican rule and are depressed un
der Democratic rule, there must be a
sufficient reason. '
-. Prosperity Cycle Cited.
Since the days of Lincoln, when the
Republican . party had its birth, the
continuous occasions of prosperity have
been under Republican administrations
and the serious periods of depression
under Democratic administrations.
The protective .system for American
producers and American laborers al
ways applied by the Republicans is the
cause. The people know it now better
than at any former time, for there Is
now a better opportunity for observa
tionfrom -actual experience. No Amer
ican producer "from field or pasture
can be made to believe that free trade
or ' tariff ' for revenue is best for his
Interest. . No American laborer will
ever believe he is better off when com
peting with cheap foreign labor. Pros
perity of the farmer and laborer means
prosperity for all. The people are go
ing to vote again for the protective
system. I am certain of it; further
more, they are going to insist that the
tariff question be taken out of poli
tics. -
Development Is Wanted.
Oregon people are extremely anxious
to see. the Pacific Coast developed.
The feeling is intense, -and growing

LONDON, Oct. !7. Another rebel

General' Christian De Wet and Gen

taken the , lead of the rebels In the
Orange Free State and Western Trans
vaal. Having put down the rebellion In
the northern . province of Cape Colony
led By Lieutenant Colonel Marltz. the

Tuesday's War Moves
THE German raid on the channel
ports, as It is. called here, seems
to have been checked for the ttme
being, or, any rate, the Germans
have .Vf0 tle " anv Progress since
ial on Saturday last. They are.
however, still pushing with all the
forces at their command and are meet
ing with most stubborn resistance from
French, British and v Belgian troops,
and It is said a good proportion of
their forces has been forced back
across the canal, thus losing much of
the fruits of their original advance.
The losses on both sides continue
to be In proportion to the fierceness
of 'the battle, which means that they
are greater than those In any battle
since war was declared, now nearly
three months ago.
Along the coast- where the allies have
the assistance of French - and British
warships, they have apparently more
than held their own, and after In
flicting heavy losses, have compelled
the Germans to try for an opening
further inland. Until Monday the al
lies had been forced to give way at
some point, but yesterday, according
to the - French official communication
they had succeeded In holding their
positions at every point from the
mouth of the Yser to the Lens dis
trict, and again have advanced between
Ypres and Routers, where there had
been some of the sternest fighting of
this sanguinary . battle and where the
British Indian troops have made their
first appearance in the firing line.
The opposing " forces are so strong
that-it must be many days before a
decisive, result is attained by either
side, despite the great losses which
they are suffering and which grow
greater as report follows report.
Along the old front, stretching from
the River Olse to the Mouse, from
which the Germans withdrew their
best troops to strengthen tho army
which Is attempting -to advance along
the coast, the French have been taking
the offensive, and to the north of
Soissons have been engaging in an ar
tillery duel with the Germans, in
which they have destroyed several of
the German batteries.- They seem to
have been playing at this game for
some time, for tbe last three reports
from Paris have announced the de
struction of German guns.
Farther east the offensive tactics
of the French have driven the Ger
mans who were threatening Nancy,
back across the frontier. The Germans,
however, are so strongly entrenched
along this line that it is believed they
are preparing to remain for the. Win
ter, holding their positions until their
present objectives, the northern ports
of France, have been attained.
Serious battles also aro proceeding
in Southern: Poland -and in Galicta,
without decisive result.- The Russians,
however, have crossed the Vistula
north of Ivangorod with a fresh army
corps, which should have a marked
effect on the fortunes of the battle.
They appear from their own account to
be breaking down the resistance of the
Austrlans " south of Przeraysl and
throughout Gallcia, where fighting. of
the most stubborn character has been
going on for weeks.
Another rebellion has broken out to
South Africathis time headed by
General Christian De Wet and General
Beyers. Neither of these men has
any political following, but it is feared
that some of the burghers, who, like
themselves, retain some of the bitter
ness aroused by the South African war,
will Join them.
' The defense force, as the army of
the Union of South Africa is called. Is
considered safe for the government,
for when General Beyers gave up his
command of that force on the outbreak
of the war none of the officers or men
of the army followed him. Besides,
General Botha, the Premier, retains
his support of the great mass of the
people of the Union.
German mine-layers have again
been busy and . have succeeded in
mining the waters north of Ireland,
the first victim of which has been the
steamer Manchester Commerce.

LOSSES HAVE BEEN HEAVY

LINE RETIRES AT ARRAS
Many Villages in Which Battle
Has Raged Reported to
Have Been Destroyed.
LONDON, Oct. 27. A dispatch to
the Central News from Northeastern
France : says : t .
"The Germans were in great part
driven back across the Yser yester
day with heavy loss by the French
infantry, aided by the fire of
the monitors. When the French
and Belgians undertook the defense
of the Yser they held it for a week.
Then, by sheer weight of artillery and
men the Germans pushed the gallant
Belgians back, but not, before they
paid the full price for the temporary
gain.
Cost to Belgians Heavy.
"At least two army corps faced-the
Belgians. Their object was to force
them right into France and thus sue
ceed in turning the allies' . left. It
cost the Belgians a thousand casual
ties to prevent the attainment of this
object.
-"It is reported-on reliable author
ity that the German Emperor had
placed eight army corps in this sec
tion of the field. Their losses have
been frightful; their successes prac
tically nil.
Doubt Declared Gone.
"Toward the end of last week the
situation was doubtful; now there is
no reason to fear failure. On the
contrary, first-class success may be
looked for which will prnce. the Ger
mans finally on the defensive in the
West. Great progress is being made
in the reorganization of the Belgian
army."
A dispatch from Paris summarizing
the situation earlier in the day said
the allies had advanced slightly be
tween Ypres and Roulers and also at
Soissons.
Important Points Evacuated.'
The Daily Telegraph's Dieppe cor
respondent says the Germans have
evacuated several important positions
near Arras and also along the center
and at Rheims.
The correspondent declares that
many villages in which there has
been fighting, including Givenchy,
Fromelles, Warneton and Radingbam,
have been partly burned. At Beile
chappelle, he says, there was a furi
ous encounter in the cemetery be
tween the French and Germans, dur
ing which the church tower was. de

wrecked. In Richebourg not a single
house is left standing, according to
the correspondent.
