DRYS SAY VICTORY.
IS THEIRS BY 12,000
Returns From Country Pre
cincts Are Encouraging
and Gain Is Expected.
REPUBLICAN STATE CANDIDATES WHO APPARENTLY HAVE MADE CLEAN SWEEP.
WOMEN'S VOTE RELIED ON
Towns Not Regarded as Prohibition
Advocates Reporting Big Anti
Suloon Vote and Fight Is
Close in Wet Zones.
At 1 o'clock this morning the Pro
hibition forces were claiming 12,000
majority. Scattering returns seemed to
Indicate that the country precincts
would deliver a large vote for the drys,
while many towns and county seats
were reporting strongly against the
svets.
One of the surprising features was
the apparently close vote in Multnomah,
Clatsop and Wasco counties, where it
had been expected the wets would snow
their heaviest strength. According to
returns received at the headquarters of
the Committee of One Hundred, which
had charge of the dry campaign, gains
were being- made where least expecieo.
and It was declared that if the pro
portion of gains continued a big ma
jority for the drys was certain. .
Big Gains Expected.
The towns of Coquille, Newport, To
ledo, Bend, Tillamook and Troutdale
were giving a majority for prohibition,
while the returns showed a close vote
In St. Helens, Oregon City and The
Dalles. Nearly all the Willamette Val
ley towns were expected to give a pre
ponderance of dry votes. There was
strong indication that Eastern Oregon
fwould deliver a substantial majority for
the drys.
J. E. Wheeler, chairman of the Com
mittee of One Hundred, made the fol
lowing statement at midnight:
"From the scattering returns at
hand we have every reason to believe
the state will go dry by at least 15,
000 our prediction this morning.
"Of course, the West Side of Port
land is leading against Oregon dry, but
reports from East Side precincts are
beginning- to cut this down. This is
particularly the case as the count gets
down to the women's vote, which was
at the bottom of the ballot-boxes.
Astoria Vote EncoDraslDg.
' "Contrary to our . belief, Astoria is
coming far stronger dry than we ex
pected, the wets now having but a
slight lead. Hood River County, on
early returns gave 10 to 1 dry. fit.
Helens is showing wet, but every pre
cinct we have heard from outside the
country towns is strongly dry, Gilliam
County being two to one, Wasco Coun
ty the same.
"Tillamook County now has a strong
dry lead, while Lincoln County shows
a strong dry lead also. It is quite pos.
sible that the wets may show unex
pected strength in the country, but so
far this has failed to materialize.
"Towns like Pendleton and Baker
are showing more in our favor than
we expected. Returns from Linn
County and Lane County are coming
so strongly our way that ' any slight
lead the wets seem to have In Mult
nomah seems certain to be overcome.
It- is more than . probable Multnomah
County will be but slightly wet, if at
an. x neiieve we are quite safe in
claiming the state for Oregon dry."
Walla Walla Going Dry
WALLA WALLA, Wash.. Nov. 3.
Unofficial returns from several scat
tered precincts in Walla Walla City
eem to indicate that the city may give
the drys a slight majority in this
county. The wets have already con
ceded that the outlying districts will
go dry. The Senatorial fight seems
to be between Jones and Black.
Taeonm Going Wet.
TACOMA. Wash., Nov. 3 The first
seven precincts reported in the City
of Tacoma on prohibition show: For,
91; against, 839.
One precinct on Congressman, Third

Castle Rock Goes Dry.

On -being informed that the man in

A little thing like running for United
States Senator does not disturb "Uncle
Bill" Hanley in his regular routine of
personal conduct.
Promptly at 2 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon "Uncle Bill" retired to his room
at the Oregon Hotel and took his usual
16-minute nap. This is something that
he has not failed to do every afternoon
at 2 o'clock for more than 25 years.
His friends insist that his regular
habits and his blissful disregard of
trouble and care are largely responsi
ble for bis splendid physique and his
aunny disposition.
A sharp-faced little man In precinct
No. 34 carried his ballot .to the box
without folding it.
"Fold you ballot, please," an election
official told , him wearily.
"What for should I told It?" de
manded the little man, "Ain't you a
public servant? Ain't you paid tor

The man took the ballot unfolded,
"Yes," he explained as he folded it,
'But you see, I am not supposed to

The voter drew up to his full five-
feet six. "Then don't read it sir!" he
said icily. "Not that I care I'll tell
ye how I voted. Voted fer Booth, and
prohibition, and Wlthycombe! An' I
voted agin all the rest!"

gave it as his opinion that there must

I don't think our figures will be

you may get a few more or less than
89,738, but I think that is nearly an
exact estimate."

"If it is -true that a Democrat has
been elected to serve six years in the
United States Senate, it is a decided
Democratic victory and a remarkable
testimonial to Senator Chamberlain,"
said Charles B. Moores, chairman of the
Republican State Committee, at mid
night. Mr. Moores would not admit that
Chamberlain s victory yet was assured.
"Dr. Withycombe has been elected by
an overwhelming majority, as we pre
dicted," said Mr. Moores. "The disap
pointing showing of Mr. Booth, while
we do not yet concede his defeat, indi
cates that Senator Chamberlain . has
been elected. The vote of Hanley was
considerably less than we had antici
pated. We estimated William Hanley's
strength at about 35,000 and figured
that probably two-thirds of that would
come from the Chamberlain strength.
