parties Republican. Democrat and

mary, reports from throughout the
county indicate that the total vote cast
will approximate 60 per' cent of the
registration.
Vote Unnsnally Large.
By parties the registration for this
election was: Republican, 55,701;
Democrat, 16.190; Progressive, 668.
The vote was unusually large for a
primary election in Multnomah County.
Early reports of a. light vote, based on
the voting in the morning and after
noon, proved misleading, because, as
usual, the heavy voting was done be
tween 5 and 8 P. M.

Alderson Leads McCormiok,
For County . School Superintendent,
W. G. Alderson leads in the 135 pre
cincts heard from with 1106 votes to

His lead is 267 votes. Edgar H. Whit
ney has 604, Miss AJbbie Wright 359
and Charles M. Stafford 299 votes.
For County Judge, George Tazwell
has a lead of 116 over Thomas J. Clee

well's vote is 1675, to 1559 for Cleeton.
BoDHer'a Lead 70S.
For County Surveyor, R. C. Bonser,
incumbent, has a deal of 708 over E. A.

the count stands C. W. Ackerson, 773;
Daniel M. Boyd, 953; Mrs. G. L. Buland,

Thomas Mannix 407, Benjamin R. Per
kins 349.
4,000 Vote Is Estimated.
Estimated at 60 per cent of the reg
istration, the total Multnomah County
vote will be about 46,000 in all parties.
As there was little interest in the Dem
ocratic and Progressive primaries, the
ratio of Republican voters will probably
run considerably in excess of 60 per
cent.
At this time it is impossible to give
any accurate forecast of the outcome
f thn Legislative race for State Sena
tors and State Representatives in Mult
nomah County.
List Long; and Count Slow.
Aside from John Gill, who is un
oppose I for the one short-term Sena
torship, there are 12 candidates for five
long-term Senatorships 37 candidates for
12 State Representatives and two can
didates for Joint Representative from
Multnomah and Clackamas Counties.
Tiiis long list of names has made the
count very slow. Up to 11 o'clock last
night there were only a few scatter
ing returns on the Legislative race.
Though it will doubtless be possible
on later incomplete returns to pick a
few of those certain to be nominated,
it is hardly likely that the personnel
of the complete Senate and House
tickets will be known before late to
day or tonight.
The same conditions to a lesser de
cree are likely to make the personnel
of the Oregoi delegation to the Re
pub'ica?. National Convention uncertain
until approximately complete returns
are in. The two successful candidates
for delegates from Multnomah County
will be known much sooner than the
four successful candidates for delegates
from the state at large.
Some Candidates Can't Lose.
If this race is at all close, the result
may not be known for several days, or
until returns come in from remote
country precincts through the state.
While the first-hour returns are too
meager to indicate the real trend of
the primary vote, there are a few
lucky candidates who can sit serenely
by and await the returns, knowing that
they can't lose.
They are the ones fortunate enough
not to be opposed for their respective
nominations.
George H. Burnett and Frank A.
Moore, candidates for the Republican
renominations to their present seats
on the bench of the Oregon Supreme
tourt, nave no opposition. The only
question is the size of their vote.
Both have been in the Supreme Court
for many years. Justice Burnett has
served as Circuit Judge and Supreme
court Justice for 22 years. Frank A.
Moore, who is chief justice, has been
continuously a member of the Su
preme Court since 1892.
John GUI I'noppoaed,
John D. Mickle is running alone for
renomination bythe Republicans for a
second term as State Dairy and Food
Commissioner. So it can be said with
out fear of successful contradiction, so
to speak, that his nomination is as
sured.
In Multnomah County John Gill, a
member of the lower house of the 1915
Legislature, is the only Republican
candidate for short-term State Senator,
although 12 men are running for the
four five-year terms. Mr. Gill is the
only candidate whose name is. on the
ballot of any party for this nomination.
He will nib the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Arthur Langguth, Mu
nicipal Judge of Portland. This term
has two years to run.
Without waiting for any further re
turns, it can be said that - John M.
Lewis will be renominated for County
Treasurer by his usual large and en
thusiastic vote, no one opposing Mr.
Lewis, who is a candidate for re-election
to his eighth successive term, to about
the most unpopular job in Oregon poli
tics. Still another who lias no opposition
is Henry E. Reed, candidate for re
nomination by the Republicans for a
second term as County Assessor.
Turning to the Democratic ballots, a
hoxt of "the boys" were able to go to
bed early last night with not a thing
to worry 'em. There is Wbodrow Wll
eon, for example. Mr. Wilson is the
TWO REPUBLICAN REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS, RENOMINATED WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
t ' i ' "

U U
only candidate on the Oregon Demo
cratic ballot for President. There Is
not one chance in a hatful that any
dark horse "favorite son" can get even
a scattering hundred or two votes
against him from Democrats of this
state.
W. N. Gatens is In the same boat as
a candidate for the Democratic renomi
nation for Circuit Judge. Had any
Democrat so much as thought of op
posing Judge Gatens he would have
been promptly ostracised by the
brethren.
Barnett H. Goldstein, Mrs. Maria L.
T. Hidden, C. G. Schneider and R. A.
Willison are the only four Democratic
candidates for 12 nominations for Rep
resentative in the Legislature. There
fore they cannot help but be nominated.
Mr. Goldstein will have to decline the
nomination later on. because he has
been appointed Assistant United States
Attorney since announcing his candi
dacy. Lee Arnett is a perfectly safe bet
for the Democratic nomination for
County Commissioner. He is the lone
candidate.
The same is true of H. L. Wallace.
No one is running against him for the
Democratic nomination for Sheriff.
Progressives Are Scarce.
So far as the Progressives are con
cerned, there is even less for them to
worry about. Only 10 of them are can
didates and they are all running with
out opposition. Eight had their names
on the Progressive ballot in Multnomah
County.
These eight, who can't lose, are Al
fred E. Clark and Henry Waldo Coe,
for delegates-at-large to the Progres
sive National Convention; David L
Povey, for delegate from the Third
Congressional District, and Emmett
Callahan, Tom P. Campbell, Malcolm H.
Clark, F. H. Lewis and A. I. Moulton,
for Presidential electors.
CHAMBERLAIN HINT OUT
TALK OF OREGO.V MAX FOR VICE-
PRESIDENT HEARD.
Democrats Looking for Candidate to
Take Thunder Out of Republican
Plank on Preparedness.
CHICAGO. May 19. (Special.) Who
will be President Wilson's running
mate? Senator Chamberlain, leader of
the fight against Representative Hay
and the other little Army men at Wash
ington, was trotted out today as a
possible candidate for the Vice-Presi
dency.
Some Democrats argued that if Sena
tor Chamberlain, chairman of the Sen
ate military committee, were put on the
Democratic ticket for second place it
would tend to, take the thunder out of
the strongTlank on National prepared
ness which the Republicans are sawing
out for their National platform.
With the renomination of President
Wilson uncontested,' the St.vLouis con
vention is expected to be a cut and
dried affair as to everything except
the nomination of a candidate for Vice-
President.
Many of the politicians insist that
the most important thing before the
delegates at St. Louis will be the selec
tion for Vice-President of a man who
can bring most strength to President
Wilson. Those who are booming Sena
tor Chamberlain agree that he would
strengthen the Democratic chances in
the Northwest and on the Pacific Coast,
where the sentiment for National de
fense is as strong as In the East, while
in the Middle West he would not do
much harm. . -
CAR WRECKED ON HIGHWAY
Machine Backs Off Rutliton Grade
Miilo Passengers Are Out.
HOOD RIVER, Or., May 19. (Spe
cial. Y When the automobile of A. J.
Sperling, who with his wife and sister,
Miss Ruth Sperling, was en route from
Salem to Eastern Oregon, backed oft
the Ruthton grade, just west of this
city, and plunged down a declivity, the
first serious accident on the Hood River
end of the Columbia River Highway
occurred. The machine had stuck on
the heavy grade, the worst portion of
the road between here and Portland,
an a the occupants were out inves
tigating to find the trouble, when the
brakes gave way. The car was
wrecked.
The accident has started a movement
among local motorists to have a fence
built along the dangerous portion of
the highway.
The party was on Its way to Burns,
where Mr. Sperlings father went in
advance, and where the family owns a
ranch upon which they expect to spend
the Summer.
75.000-Foot Mill Soon to Operate.
GASTON, Or., May 19. (Special.
The little mill town of Cherry Grove,
about five miles west of Gaston, has
taken on a new lease of life since the
arrival of the Haskel-Carpenter Com
pany from Los Angeles, Cal., which has
bought out the Lovegren interests in
the lumber industry of that section.
It has' secured 8000 acres of saw timber
to develop and is .building a thoroughly
up-to-date plant with a capacity of
75,000 feet a day. The machinery is
now beinsr installed, and it is expected
that within two weeks the sawmill will
be lr operation and will employ about
60 men. Another large mill and dry
kilns will be built later.
PUBLIC INTEREST BIG
The Oregonian Bulletin Service
Entertains Thousands.
TOTALS GIVEN PROMPTLY
Mammoth Crowd Blocks Streets in
Vicinity of Newspaper Build
ins and Showers l'ail to
Dampen Enthusiasm.
Crowds that blocked Sixth and Alder
streets about The Oregonian building
last night cheered intermittently as
election returns from the city, county
and state were flashed on The Orego
nian screen. The crowd numbered into
the thousands, extending from midway
between Washington and Alder streets
to midway between Alder and Mor
rison and nearly to Broadway on Alder
street.
It was a mixed crowd. Figures fa
voring almost any candidate brought
a round of cheers. The flashing of
election figures was mixed in with
election rhymes by Dean Collins and
others and funny drawings by Tige
Reynolds and motion pictures.
TLhe service was started at 8:40
o'clock, 40 minutes after the polls
closed. As the battery of motorcycle
men sent out by The Oregonian tele
phoned the incomplete returns to The
Oregonian election department as the
count progressed, the figures were
flashed on the bulletin board by pre
cincts and later by totals. The bulle
tin board kept total figures on the
principal races of the election before
the crowds as fast as the returns could
be gathered and tabulated.
A couple of showers during the early
part of the evening did not affect the
ardor of the crowd. The thousands
went right on with their cheering as
figures showed advances made by one
or other of the candidates. The crowd
stuck almost to a man until the bulle
tin service was given up about mid
night. The bulletins were flashed from the
office of William Goldman, of the Na
tional Life Insurance Company, who
turned over his office to the election
department. Street lights were put
out by the city for the occasion so
that the bulletins stood out clearly on
the big canvas stretched on a build
ing at the northeast corner of Sixth
and Alder streets.
The crowd was orderly, policemen
who were assigned to the place having
nothing to do but watch the bulletins.
A large number of persons watched the
returns from automobiles parked along
Alder street near Broadway.
APPLES MAY GO ABROAD
BRITAIN LOOKS FAVORABLY OX DE
MAND OF OREGON GROWERS.
Representative Mnnott Renews Request
That State Department Bring About
. End to Interference.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 19. The British embassy
at Washington. Representative Sinnott
was advised today by the State De
partment, looks favorably on the de
mand of exporters of Oregon apples
that they be allowed without further
British interference to send apples to
neutral ports in Europe. Thus far the
British Foreign Office has failed to
make any favorable or definite re
sponse to representations.
Representative Sinnott discussed this
question on the floor of the House sev
eral weeks ago, and having heard
nothing further from the State Depart
ment on the subject called on the de
partment today. He was informed that
Secretary Lansing is preparing another
note to Great Britain in which the de
mand will be renewed that the British
authorities desist in their practice of
holding up American food products
consigned to neutral countries.
Mr. Sinnott told the department Co
lumbia River salmon canners are now
having the same' difficulty the Oregon
applemen have experienced in the past,
and asked that any note sent to Great
Britain be sufficiently broad cover
salmon as well as apples. The note, it
was said, would not deal with specific
commodities, but with foodstuffs gen
erally. Election Sidelights
VI would like to know why I was
permitted to register as a Prohibition-
Jst in the first place." demanded' a
wratny teminine voter wno naa Deen
denied the privilege of voting in the
election yesterday - and had hastened
immediately to the registration office
to change her politics. She was nat
urally denied the privilege of chang
ing at that late hour, which nettled
her only the more.
After Registration Clerk Miller had
taken up some 20 minutes of his time
to explain to her that It was her own
fault if she registered as a Prohibi
tionist and to explain further the sig
nificance of the primary election, she
departed in a measure appeased.
The three stenographers at the office
of the State Fish and Game Commis
sion in the Oregon building yesterday
bemoaned the fact that they were reg
istered in city precincts. Otherwise
they might have been given a holiday
to "go home and vote."
Carl D. Shoemaker, State Game War
den went to Roseburg to cast his bal
lot, and Fred Brown, chief clerk, went
to his home in Brownsville.
The actions of many of the women
judges in yesterday's election were a
positive refutation of the theory that
domestic enterprise does not mix with
politics. Many of the women in their
spare time sewed, embroidered and
tatted and those who had left their
'knittin' " at home bemoaned the fact.
One organization of women Judges,
who served in the precinct at Four
teenth and Montgomery, tabooed
sewing of any description. All five of
them decided that it was against the
strict interpretation of their assigned
duties and so left all their sewing at
home.
It was no hard task to count the
Progressive votes in Precinct 43. on
Alder street between Sixth and Broad
way. There were only two registered
and both had voted byl:15 yesterday
afternoon. The vote in this downtown
district was comparatively light up to
late afternoon. At 1 o'clock only .31
Republicans and ix Democrats Leslues
the two Progressives had voted.
Precinct 299. at the Union Meat Com
pany, was the first to complete its
count. Charles Wagner, judge of the
night election board, arrived with the
ballot box at the Courthouse at 11:20
o'clock.
"Where are the tally sheets?" he
was asked.
It developed that the tally sheets
had been sealed up and dropped inside
the ballot box. Wagner was sent back
to his precinct to take them out in
due form and bring them back.
This precinct cast nine votes, seven
of which were Republican and two
Democrat.

Chorch Letter.'' Opponents Say, Was
Granted at Prayer Meetlna- With
out Call for "Noes."
CHICO. Caf., May 19. (Special.)
Madison Slaughter, convicted felon, will
carry into San Quentin prison with him
a letter Informing the world that he
leaves the Chico Baptist Church with
out a black mark against his name. It
is what the Baptists call his "church
letter." attesting his good standing in
the church.
It became known only today to the
anti-laughter members of the Bap
tist Church that at Wednesday night's
prayer meeting letters were granted
transferring Slaughter and his family
to the Portervllle Baptist Church. They
assert that . Frank Rawson. chairman
of the advisory board and a strong pro
Slaughter man, gathered a few of his
followers around him and that the
question of giving the letter was de
clared carried without calling for a
negative vote. Mr. Rawson then im
mediately left tho chair and. resigned
from the church.
The same night the church clerk pre
sented to Mrs. Slaughter her convicted
husband's letter.
It Is said an effort to rescind the ac
tion will be made Sunday by the church
faction, who believe Slaughter lost his
right for a clean record from the
church when he was convicted.

Pendleton Building.
PENDLETON, Or.. May 19. (Spe

Pendleton's oldest buildings, a two
story frame house at Cotton and Webb

leaped from the second story onto a
shed. The place was 38 years old, and
was run for many years as the New
England Hotel, and later was a land

The loss is about $1700. covered by
insurance. The last few years the
place has been conducted as a lodging
house for colored persons.

Northern Convention Moves to Adju

MINNEAPOLIS. May 19. The North
ern Baptist convention, today empow
ered a commission to f-lt as a court of
equity for the adjudication of all differ
ences between affiliated societies. The
convention's action was construed by
many leading Baptists as a movement
which will devolve ultimately into a
union of the Northern Baptist conven
tion and the Southern Baptist conven
tion. Intimations that Baptists of the West
might withdraw and form a separate
conference because of what was char
acterized as "the long domination by
the East" preceded the selection of
Cleveland. O.. as the meeting place next
year. Vigorous protest was made when
it appeared likely that Atlantic City,
N. J., would be selected.
FORGER ADMITS HIS GUILT
Vancouver Prisoner With Long
Criminal Record Pleads.
VANCOUVER. Wash., May 19. (Spe

from Portland officers by jumping
from a third-story window. He was

His capture was made on the day fol

Thorne, as he is generally known
here, passed six bad checks on local
