Probably Are Defeated.
LOCAL VOTE IS ECLIPSED
SfnltnomaU County Carries Both
Measures by More Than 5000,

Only two of the measures on the
state ballot are at all close the Fort
of Portland consolidation measure and
the amendment lengthening- the ses
sion of the legislature and Increas
ing: pay of members.
Although the port bill carried in
Multnomah county by more than
6000 majority, the state outside,
which Is not directly involved Ir the

against the bill to overcome this
lead.
In Multnomah county only one pre

Clackamas, Columbia, Deschutes, Gill

It is almost complete for Jackson,
Lane. Coos and Umatilla. No re
turns have been received from Klam

will add to the unfavorabe majority,
while in two tbe measure seems to
have carried.

Marketing: Bureau Plans1 to G?t
Ideas of 5,00 0,0 0 0 Producers on
Disposition of Crops.
CHICAGO, Nov. 4. Five million
American farmers will be asked for
their opinions on how to eliminate
the middleman, it was announced to
day by the committee of 17 of the
farmers' marketing bureau, which, is
in session here to devise a plan to
obtain more money for the farmer for
. his grain'crops.
"We are going to use the views in
considering a new marketing plan
J. F. Oustafso'n '. -of Lincoln,- Neb.,
chairman of the committee, said. "We
- Khali offer our- laeas to the many
farmers' W;o-operatlve organisations
and then ask that they send dele
gates to the final convention about
January 1, when Two will make our
plans operative'
Mr. Gustafson said the committee
members were opposed to the farm
ers striking for the purpose of in
fluencing the grain market. They
lelieve the farmer can best accom
plish fair prices by direct marketing,
lie said.
L. F. Gates, president of the Chi
cago board of trade, in an address,
promised co-operation in the working
out of any marketing system more
economical than the prevailing one.
Fine of $4 0 Sustained by Judge
Tucker in Deciding Appeal
From Municipal Court.
The illuminated tooth marking the
entrance to Alba Bros.' dental es
tablishment, managed by Mrs. Martha
Smith, and the heavy hand that has
hovered ever the sidewalk in front of
the headquarters of Dr. Paul C. Yates,
on Sixth street, were outlawed Wed
nesday when Circuit Judge Tucker
delivered an opinion sustaining the
city of Portland in its suits against
these two defendants, "The cases were
brought in an effort to maintain an
ordinance passed here several years
ago to prevent electric signs from
being blanketed.
. The judgment in each ease sustained
a fine of $40, which had been appealed
from the municipal court. About four
years ago a committee was appointed
by the council to investigate unsight
ly and unsafe street signs. The in.
vestigStion languished for more than
a year, then suddenly took life again,
resulting in passage of an ordinance
that has become a model for other
cities.
Nearly everybody whose sign failed
to comply with the law either put up
a new one or removed the old one, but
Dr. Yates, 125 V4 Sixth street, and Mrs.
Smith, at Second and Morrison streets,
declined. The hand and tooth have
continued to blaze forth nightly while
their owners fought the cases. Deputy
City Attorney Lansing, who helped
formulate the original ordinance.
prosecuted both cases, w-hieh first
went into the municipal and then Into
the circuit court. It is understood
that Dr. Yates is planning an appeal
to tne supreme court.

SEATTLE, Wash.,: Nov. 4. (Special..)-
Washington new state legis
lature Will- have the largest majority
of republicans in the history of the
state, according to returns from Tues
day's election, practically complete in
the more populous counties
Indications are hat every one of
the, 87 urate representative will be
republicans. .; '
Indications are that all tut two,
possibly all but one, of the 42 state
senators will be republicans.
Senator O'Harra, apparently the
only democrat who will be- In the
legislature, is a holdover.- He was
elected, two years ago to serve four
jeans.
Incomplete returns in the 28th sen
atorial district in Pierce cou.nty show
K- J. Ryan, a negro, farmer-labor can
didate, leading Clarence Salaer, re
publican, 2351 votes to 2203.
If Ryan is elected he may be the
lone farmer-labor man In either of
the two branches of the state legisla
ture, which, combined, have 139 mem
bers. ' Woman la Elected.
For a while Mrs. Frances Haskell's
place was threatened. Late this even
ing It was announced she was elected.
She is the only woman in the legisla
ture. Return from Ferry and Franklin
counties are not complete enough to
make the flat prediction that all the
republican- legislative candidates will
be elected, as the farmer-labor
candidates are showing considerable
strength there. However, Ferry and
Franklin counties are both only
sparsely settled and each entitled to
only one representative. So even if
the farmer-labor candidates won in
both these counties, which is not yet
admitted, their party would not have
more than three members of the legis
lature.
King county republican legislative
candidates broke - all records when
they swept the boards clean. Not an
opponent w-aslected. Spokane coun
ty did the same and similar reports
are coming in from every one of the
39 counties in the state. In Spokane
county Olaf L. Olson, republican, was
elected y the legislature by the stick
er metnoa over n. is. crosDy, -repuDiic-an,
nominated at the primaries, but
on whom, a party fight was waged
over charges that he was affiliated
with the non-partisan league, which
was pointed out today as strongly
emphasizing the desire of the voters
to keep the farmer-labor element out
of the legislature.
King Hu Holdovers.
King county did not vote on state
senators this year, the delegation of
eignt holding over, having been elect
ed two years, ago to serve during
two legislative sessions.
In the first district. Grant. Doug
las.' Ferty and Okanogan counties,
H. D. McMlllen, In the house during
the 1919 session, is in the lead and is
believed elected. He would succeed
W. A. Bollinger (rep.) who was not
a candidate for re-election.
W. Lon Johnson, second district,
Stevens and Pernd d'Ore-ille counties, a
republican, is a holdover.
Three Spokane county senatorial
districts have elected republicans,
L. L. Westfall in the third district to
succeed H. H. Phlpps; R. A. Hutchin
son, fourth district, re-elected: W. J.
Sutton, fifth district, to succeed E.
Ben Johnson. Senator Groff and Ed
T: Coman. unsuccessful candidate for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor, have another term to serve.
Whitman county has elected C A.
Couplin as senator In the ninth dis
trict to succeed W. C. McCoy. Oliver
Hall, eighth district senator, is a
holdover.-
Senator Harding's plurality In th
state has passed the 115,000 mark and
Is still going strong.
Governor Hart (rep.) la also la-
creasing his lead.
All republicans In the five congres
clonal districts of the state have been
elected with big majorities. Repre
sentative Miller wil' go back from
the first district with a plurality of
close to 25,000. . -
Lindley H. Hadley, in the second
district, is piling up a big majority
over William Bouck. the farmer
labor candidate. Representative
Johnson in the third district will be
winner by a large plurality.
John W. Summers Is winning by "a
good 'majority in the fourth district
over Fred Miller, democrat, and Knute
Gill, farmer-labor, and In the fifth
district J. Stanley Webster is piling
up even a larger majority than 'an
ticipated over Mayor. Fleming of
Spokane.
The republican majorities Increase
with the later returns, the bonus
bill received approximately two
thirds of the total vote; the Seattle
jitney bill was badly beaten-, as was
the Carlyon road bill and the salary
increase measure, while the eminent
domain amendment carried.
President-elect Harding's lead over
Cox In this state will reach -approximately
135.000 and his lead over Cox
and Christensen combined will be
about 75,000. While King county
gave Christensen second place, trie
rest of the state pulled Cox up, and
he is nosing the farmer-labor can
didate out for second honors.
Governor Hart's lead over Robert
Bridges, farmer-labor candidate, will
approximate 85,000. and his lead over
Bridges and Black, democrat, com
bined will be easily 25,000.
The only contest in King county
that remained In doubt is the race
between John S. Jurey and Everett
Smith, for superior court j ud.fr o. With
but nine county and 48 city precincts
missing out of the total of 393, Smith
has a slight lead over Jurey, the vote
standing Smith 25.079. and! Jursey 24.-
(128. Among the missing returns are
those from Judge Jurey's home pre
cinct. It probably will take the of
ficial count to determine the re
sult of the judgeship contest. The
canvassing board expects to begin the
official count in King county today.
