OLSON LEADS FOR JUSTICE latest Returns Indicate That Sen ator "Will Carry Oregon by More Than 19,000 Votes. fContiriurd From Flrt Page. a good lead in Multnomah, while Ben nett was leading? in the outside coun ties. "Although the count in Coos County has not been completed. Judge Coke claims .that his present lead of 1050 in that county will be increased to 000. Complete unofficial returns from Clackamas. Hood River. Josephine. Linn. Marion and Sherman counties, and incomplete returns from 19 other counties, exclusive of Multnomah and not including the completed count of Coos, show the following totals for Su preme Judge: Bennett 6594, Campbell 4783. Coke 6447, Olson 6273. Olson Leads in Multnomah. The Multnomah County vote for these candidates was: Bennett 3140, Campbell 1410, Coke 3766. Olson. 5499. The total vote on this office so far as counted follows: Bennett 9734, Campbell 6195. Coke 10,213. Olson 11,772. This gives Olson a lead of 1559 over Coke and a margin of 203S over Bennett, who is now running third. At best this contest promises to prove the keenest of Tuesday's election and the completed count of the 36 counties may be required to determine the winner. Only fragmentary reports have been received from several coun ties, others having failed to report the vote for Supreme Judge. In his home county, Clackamas, Campbell received a total of 2388, against a total of 620 distributed among his three rivals. Bennett is especially strong in Eastern Orepron. The incom plete count in Wasco County, where he lives, gives him 381, against 89 for the other three candidates. He also carried Marion by a plurality of 195 over Coke, who ran second. Sinnntt Is He-fleeted. The Republican nominees, on the face of incomplete returns have easily won the only two other important offices for which the Democrats contested. In the Second Congressional District the in cumbent, N. J. Sinnott, has been re elected over Graham by almost a two-to-one vote. The count now stands: Sinnott 11.083. Graham 6871. Foj State Treasurer, O. P. Hoff, Re publican, outside of Multnomah County now has a majority of 15,306 over Ma son, his Democratic opponent.

Governor .Withycombe and Senator McNary polled little less than their estimated majority in Umatilla County, according to the returns so far. The Republicans were successful in most of the contests in this county, though one of the legislative seats is still in doubt. Both parties are claiming it. Dodd, Republican, is 46 votes behind Hodgen, with four precincts to report. It is hardly probable that he can make up this deficiency. An official count may be needed to decide the result of this contest, as we as that of State Sena tor in the 19tft district. Here Colonel R. Eberhardt, of La Grande, Repub lican, leads Norbourne Berkley, of Pen dleton, . Democrat, by one vote in this county. It is reported that the Republican candidate, however, has a safe major ity In his own county. All other offices went to the Republican candidates. All of the measures appear to have been defeated in this county with the excep tion of the Normal bill, which still has a majority of nearly 1000 in Its favor.
