Hall by a safe margin for County School Superintendent. The single-item veto also has a safe majority In Multnomah County. The entire Republican Senatorial and State Representative ticket has been elected, as have all Republican county candidates, apparently, with the single exception of Judge Gatens. Vote la Tremendous. Never before has such a large vote been cast in Multnomah County. Never before, also, 4ias the percentage of the vote cast to the registration been so heavy. The vote ran close to 87 per cent of the registration. Typical of the big ratio of the vote to the registra tion, 140. precincts, -with, a total regis tration of 37,825, cast a vote of 32.931. This was almost exactly 87 per cent. In 1912 the ratio of tbe vote to the registration was 75 per cent. Precinct 202, in Laurelhurst, ran up a vfcte equaling 95.5 per cent of its reg istration, probably the record for the county. Of 465 registered voters, 439 voted. Only seven voters in the pre cinct who did not vote were not ac counted -for as sick, dead or removed from the precinct. H. S. McCutchan and F. E. Heed, president of the Laurel hurst Club, who have been active in behalf of Representative McArthur, live in this precinct. County Vote Heavy. Yesterday's vote in Multnomah County will be close to double that cast for President at the Presidential " election of 1912. The total vote for. President by all parties in that election was 39,968. Of this total, the vote for Wilson was 13.894. that for Roosevelt 12,523 and the Taft vote 9212. This gave a total Progressive and Republican vote in 1912 of 21,735 to 13.894 for Wilson. Part of the great increase in the vote yesterday can be attributed to the fact that women voted in Oregon for the first time in a Presidential election, their registration approximating 40 per cent of the 94,000 total registra tion in Multnomah. Even more po tent & factor, however, was unques tionably the great interest taken in the issues of the campaign. The good weather likewise had an important in fluence in polling a big vote. The very heavy vote polled in Portland reflected the intense in terest in the Presidential election. aroused by the most stirring campaign ana tne most important national issues since the memorable election of 1896. Reports from all over Oregon indi cated that a similarly heavy vote nad been cast. The weather helped. True to the forecast, tt was fair with west erly winds. "Republican weather," the Republl can managers termed it. And undoubt edly it did bring out a much larger Be REPRESENTATIVE IX CONGRESS FROM THIRD OREGON DISTRICT RE-ELECTED. 5 - V C. K. M'AKTHl'R. publican vote than otherwise would have been cast, for the "silent" vote has been regarded as Republican and it came out in force when the weather remained bright. 04,000 In County. In Multnomah County alone there are 94,000 registered voters, of whom 64,631 are Republican and 22,434 Democratic. In the state the total registration is 292,670, of whom the Republicans num ber 189,937 and the Democrats 77,703. Women comprise abo'ut 40 per cent of the registered voters. i So keen was the interest in the Na tional ticket that several local con tests excited much less interest than would ordinarily have been the case. There was considerable interest, how ever, in the race for County Clerk be tween Joseph W. Beveridge and Marshall N. Dana: between George Taz well and Georee M. McBride for County Judge, and between Frank S. Grant and W. N. Gatens for Circuit Judge. Whatever the outcome in this county, there are several of "the boys" on the ballot who have no occasion to worry. This is because they haven't any oppo sition, or the same as none. Prosecutor Not Opposed. There is Walter H. EvanB. Repub lican - Democratic-Progressive nominee for re-election as District Attorney, for Instance. Nothing short of a dynamite bomb could disturb the composure of the popular Walter. Ditto for Robert Tucker. Republican Progressive nominee for Judge of De partment No. 3 of the Circuit Court. Nobody whomsoever is running against Mr. Tucker, and folks might as well begin to call him judge herewith. Judge Tucker had a hard fight nt the primaries, but the easiest sailing In the general election. TreaHurer Lewis Safe. Again, there is John M. Lewis, Republican-Democratic-Progressive nomi nee for County Treasurer, who should certainly worry, indeed! ' This will be only Mr. Lewis' eighth successive term as County Treasurer, his case being one exemplification in real life of the theory of putting a good man in office and keeping him there. As usual, he hasn't any opposition from any source, McArthur Gratified. Representative C. N. McArthur last night made the following statement: "Partial returns indicate my re-election and I am naturally gratified. I Jo not take my victory as a personal triumphs, but rather as an indorsement of those principles of Republicanism and Americanism that I have consist ently supported in Congress. "I appreciate the honors already be stowed upon me by this district and shall continue to serve my constituency to the best of my ability."

President Wil son had a lead of almost 10.000 votes over Mr. Hughes at 1 o'clock this morn ing. At that time 2289 precincts of the 6570 in Ohio had been counted and Wilson had 200,861 votes to 190,992 for Mr. Hughes.

Pennayl vania. which cast its electoral vote for Theodore Roosevelt four years ago. today swung back into the Republican Presidential column by giving Charles E. Hughes a plurality, as indicated by returns up to midnight, of about 200, 000. Virtually all counties that were normally in the Republican column prior to 1912 returned Republican plu ralities. Philadelphia early returns in dicated a plurality in the city of at least 75,000 for Hughes, and Pittsburg showed a substantial plurality for the Republican National ticket. Returns from 31 out of the 36 Con gressional districts in the state show a Democratic gain of one, but Incom plete returns from the other districts may wipe out this gain. t Philander C.

Cornweli, while Sutherland. Republican nominee for united States Senator, is assuming a safe lead over Chilton Democrat. Returns also indicated that the Republicans will elect at least three members of the lower house. The suffrage amendment is defeated on the face of the returns thus far re ceived. To hundred and sixty-five precincts out of the 1713 gives Hughes a plu rality of 3042. If this ratio is main tained throughout the state the Hughes plurality will be 19.700.
