THE DALLES, Or., May 19. (Spe

cincts at 9 o'clock were: Olcott 242,
Patterson 68. White 34, Bean 14, Hall
122, Lee 13.
Democratic. Starkweather 17, King

bell 214, Layman 1. Treasurer, Ryan

A record-breaking- vote in The
Dalles and Wasco county, with scores
of democrats swearing In as repub
licans at the polls, avowedly for the
purpose of casting; their ballots for
Sinnott and Olcott, were the features
of the primary election here today.
Balloting was light during the morn
ing hours of the election, but steadily
picked up as the afternoon wore on,
many precincts hoping to realize 85
per cent of the registered vote by
closing time.
More than 15000 of Olcott, William
and Sinnott money was offered here
at 2 to 1 odds today, with practically
no takers. County Treasurer Patter
son is unopposed for re-election. Even
surpassing the gubernatorial race In
eastern Oregon, is the interest in the
Sinnott-Gwinn contest. Sinnott back
ers today were predicting that their
man would carry Wasco county by a
majority of 2 to 1, and Hood River
and Sherman counties by a safe
margin. t
BEND SEEMS MR. OLCOTT'S
Sinnott Reported Ahead in Leaks
From Election Boards.
BEND, Or., May 19. (Special.)
Although local issues and county con
tests had raised hopes of a record
vote here today, a light rain which
started in the morning and continued
Intermittently through the day kept
many at home, with the result that by
5 o'clock this afternoon only 478 votes
had been cast in Bend. Indications
were that not more than 60 per cent
of the vote in the last general elec
tion would be polled by 8 o'clock. Re
sults from the county at large showed
a stronger percentage was voting.
For the first time in the history of
the county the double election board
plan was used and proved highly suc
cessful. Although secrecy shrouded the
work of the counting boards, hints
dropped indicated that Olcott was
ahead for governor, with Sinnott
ahead for the nomination for repre-1
sentative in congress, Hoff a possible
favorite for treasurer, and the public
service commissionership anybody's
race. The same was true of the recall
measure, although sentiment has been
generally understood to be In favor of
Williams' vindication.
On the county ticket the race be
tween M. C. Conlon, incumbent, and
J. S. Innes, E. M. Eby and E. E. Varco
for the county commissionership,
created the most interest. W. P.
Myers, republican, and T. E. J. Duffy,
democratic incumbent, were the only
candidates on their respective tickets
for circuit judge of the Eighteenth
district. Denton G. Burdick, H. J.
Overturf and J. M. Ezell, republicans,
have the nomination of representa
tive from the Twenty-first district
on ice, and the same is true of R. E
Bradbury and H. W. Gard, democrats.
August A. Anderson, republican, was
the only candidate on either ticket
tor assessor of Deschutes county.
Three city measures were voted on:
The purchase of an auto park site
for J3500, use of part of the present
city park as an auto park and abol
ishment of the woman's protective
division.
ASTORIA'S VOTE LARGE OXE
Real Fight Over Proposed Amend
ments to City Charter. .
ASTORIA, Or., May 19. (Special.)
Fair weather, a large number of as
pirants seeking nominations, espe
cially on the republican ticket for the
various local offices, and a bitter
fight on proposed amendments to the
city charter combined to bring out a
large vote in Astoria today. Many
votes were sworn in and the indi
cations are the total will be fully up
to the registration. The same was
true In some of the outside precincts,
while in others the vote will probably
be small, as a result of some logging
camps operating as usual and the
polling places being too far away to
permit the men to visit them after
working hours. On the other hand,
the run of fish was light and hun
dreds of fishermen came in today to
cast tneir Danots.
While much Interest developed lo
cally over the contests for governor,
representative In congress, port com
missioners and county commissioners.
the real fight was over amendments
to the city charter, the contending
iorces naving waged a bitter cam
paign during the past few days. These
proposed amendments are designed to
change from a councilmanio to a
managerial form of government, to
Increase the limit of indebtedness of
the city to 31,000,000 and authorize
the issuing of bonds to fund outstand
ing warrants, and to authorize the
forced collection of. unpaid street im
provement assessments.
It AXE COUNTY VOTE LIGHT
Only 50 Per Cent of Registered
Voters Cast Ballots.
EUGENE, Or., May 19. (Special.)
The vote in Lane county Is light and
it is estimated rhat not more than 50
per cent of thosd registered have cast j
tneir ballots. Judges and clerks of
election in Eugene had little to do
during a portion of the day, but in
the afternoon and after working
hours the voting was much more live
ly. The weather was good, being
warm with an occasional sprinkle of
rain, but this did not deter anybody
who wished to vote from going to
the polls. There was more interest
in Lane county in the race for gover
nor than for any other state office,
as the home of Louis E. Bean, one of
the candidates, is here.
He will poll an exceedingly large
vote lit the county. Interest is also
intense in the race for county com
missioner, there being five candi
dates for the republican nomination.
E. W. Sumwalt of Irving is the only
democratic candidate for this office.
L. L. Ray is the only democratic can-

Most of Ballots .During Day Said
to Be Cast by Women.
BAKER, Or., May 19. (Special.)
Weather conditions worked against a
heavy vote in Baker county during
the biggest part of today. However,
the atmosphere cieared toward night
and a rush to the polls came during
the last hours. At 4 o'clock this
afternoon the vote had been unusual-
!y light, but 800 votes of 3100 regis
ered being cast Most of the voters
luring the day were women. As
ompared with the presidential elec.
ion two years ago, the vote at 4
o'clock was about 50 per cent,
i Of the 3100 registered in the city of
Baker, about an equal number are
republican and democrats. Of the
eight city precincts the third had cast
the largest vote, 187 being recorded.
The south Baker precinct had cast
but 29 votes. A large number of the
mill employes live in this section and
it was expected they would vote after
5 o'clock, the closing time at the
mills. The rains of the last two days
have not been heavy enough to pre
vent work in the fields and It was
doubtful whether a large rural vote
would be cast. There are 40 precincts
in Baker county. No local measures
were voted on.
George W. Henry, running for com
mission No. 2 of the city of Baker,
was unopposed. W. H. Strayer, demo
crat, running for re-election as sena
tor from the 23d district, was unop
posed, as were Johnson at Bond for
representative, 26th district; George
W. Miller for county commissioner,
and O. P. Ison for county central com
mitteeman, all democrats. Charles
Shelton for representative, 26th dis
trict, and E. E. Marker for county
commissioner, both republicans, were
unopposed.
COOS VOTE APPEARS HEAVY
Race lor Judge as Hot as That
of Governor; Fights Are Averted.
MARSHFIELD, Or. May 1. (Spe
cial.) Coos county evidently has cast
considerably more votes at this pri
mary than usual, al.hough it is not
expected to run much above 50 per
cent. Chief interest here lies in the
gubernatorial outcome, as Charles
Hall is a resident of the county.
One of the hottes' campaigns wi
hat for county judge. James Wat
son, once recalled, is among those in
the race, with George Topping of
Bandon and W. C. Chi.se as opponents
The Hawley and Norblad campaign
has attracted almost as much atten
tion as the gubernatorial fight. Haw
ley's supporters today circulated a
velegram from Hawiey stating tha
the Coos bay jetty appropriation item
of the rivers and harbors bill had
passed the house committee of the
whole. It was circulated in all parts
of the county.
Several near-fightvj took place when
opponents found others urging men
how to vote.
John S. Coke for circuit judge, Tom
T. Bennett for representative and S.
P. Peirce for joint representative have
no opposition on the republican ticket.
LIXN COUNTY VOTE LIGHT
Only Interest Amounting to Any
thing In Race forX5overnor.
ALBANY, Or May 19. (Special.)
Contrary to expectations, a light vote
was cast in Linn county today. Un
less there is a great rush in the clos
ing hours tonight the vote will be
only about 40 per cent of the regis
tration. The election was quiet
throughout the county. The contest
for governor attracted considerable
attention, but otherwise there was
little interest. The only local contest
attracting notice was for county
commissioner in the republican pri
maries, commissioners being nomi
nated one for a full term and one to
fill a vacancy. The only other local
race was for the republican nomina
tion for representatives.
Percy R. Kelly and George G. Bing
ham were renominated for circuit
judges without opposition. Others
receiving nomination; unopposed
were E. D. Cusick, republican, for
joint senator. Linn and Lane coun
ties; L. M. Curl, republican, for state
senator from Linn county, and J. D.
Isom, democrat, county commissioner
for the full term. : Except in the case

of Mr. Isom there were no candidates
on the democratic ballot for local of
fices and names were written in.
MARION VOTE 70 PER CENT
More Women Cast Ballots Than
Ever Before in County.
SALEM. Or., May 19. (Special.)
Approximately 70 per cent of the
voters in Salem cast their ballots
at the primary election today.' Re
ports from the rural districts of
Marion lounty in Heated that 60 per
cent of the farmers visited the polls.
Outside of the gubernatorial con
test interest in Marlon county cen
tered on the race for republican na
tional committeeman. Women voters
at the polls were more numerous than
ever before, election officials said.
Weather, throughout the day was
ideal. '
In the city election four measures
were submitted to the voters. These
Included a charter amendment giving
the mayor authority to appoint the
chief of police, subject to confirma
tion by the council. At the present
time the chief of police is an elective
office.
Another measure authorizes a spe
cial bond i:sue of 325,000 to provide
for special sewer work. The third
measure authorizes the issuance ef
bonds in the amount of 817,000, with
which to purchase additional fire
fighting equipment. The last of the
measures authorizes the council to
expend $7500 in the purchase of i
street sweeper.
Although somewhat of an experf'
ment the counting boards reported
socn after the polls were opened and
were ready for work when the first
20 votes had been received.
Despite the intense interest in the
election in Marion county there were
fewer wagers than in previous pri
mary contests.
All municipal and county offices to
be filled at the primary elections
were contested.
All federal, state county and city
offices here closed throughout the
day.
Governor Olcott passed most of the
day in his offices, while tonight he
was the guest of a party of friends
who received the election returns.
The governor cast his ballot in hi3
home precinct just before noon.
WASHINGTON VOTERS SLOW
1
Farmers Believed to Have Stayed
Home to Work.
HILLSBORO, Or., Mav 19. (Soe-
cial.) Marked lack of interest in the
primary, which has been the out
standing feature of the campaign,
was emphasized in Washington county
when late in the afternoon in many
precincts less than one-third of the
registered vote had been cast. With
line weather, the indications were
that the farmers had stayed at home
to do delayed work and unless there
is heavy voting before the polls close,
less than a 60 per cent vote will be
cast.
Absence of local comoetition con
tributed to lack of interest, three can
didates for commissioner 'on the re
publican ticket comprising the entire
county ticket. With three represen
tatives to be elected, L. M. Graham
was the only candidate to file, but a
ripple of interest was created during
the past week in the Interest of M. H.
Stevens. Edward S. Chulmerich, L. M.
Hesse and H. C. Peterson to have
their names written In.
TILLAMOOK HAS HEAVY VOTE
Two-Thirds Estimated to Have Cast
Ballots; Women Show Interest.
TILLAMOOK. Or.. May 19. (Sdb-
cial.) It is estimated that a two-
thirds vote was cast today. The heavy
balloting was attributed to religious
feeling injected Into the primary con
test the last few weeks. The women
went to the polls in larger numbers
than at the previous election.
It is thought 2000 republican votes
were cast.
Locally considerable interest was
taken in the nomination of represen
tative, George P. Winslow, Rollie W.
Watson and S. G. Reed being candi
dates on the republican ticket George
R. Bagley, for circuit judge, and H.
M. Farmer, for county commissioner,
had no opposition. On the democratic
ticket R. O. Richards was unopposed
for county commissioner.
MEDFORD
IS
APATHETIC
Jackson County Voters Evince Lit
tle Interest in Election.
MEDFORD, Or., May 19. (Special.)
It may have been due to the fre
quent intermltteni showers of the day
and general threatening weather, or
it may have been caused by a lack of
voting enthusiasm or interest, but the
fact stands out at 5 P. M. today that
only a 60 per cent vote or less had
been cast when the polls close at 8
P. M., in Medford and Jackson county.
It rained more or less all day in Med
ford and throughout the county, and
reports reaching here this afternoon
told of light voting also in the other
towns and the rural districts.
Up to 3 P. M. only about a 10 per
cent vote had been cast in the city,
but Medford . is famed for its late
afternoon and early evening vote. UP
o 5 P. M. today s- election had been
one of the quietest in the city's his
tory, despite the great interest shown
previously in the republican contest
for governor and the very hot repub-
lcan contest for circuit judge Be
tween the only two contestants, both
Medford men, Gus Newbury and C. M.
Thomas. Little interest had . been
shown in. the other state nd local
contests. .
The candidates who had no opposi
tion today and therefore are certain
of nomination as state senator on
their party . ticket are George W.
Dunn of Ashland, republican; Newton
w. Borden, Medford, democrat. JS. E.
Kelly of Medford, who had no opposi
tion in his candidacy on the demo
cratic ticket as candidate for Judge
of the circuit court, first Judicial dis
trict, Jackson and Josephine coun
ties, is also sure of nomination.
MORROW VOTE LIGHT ONE
But Slight Interest Manifested ;
Weather Keeps Farmers Home.
HEPPNER, Or., May 9 (Special.)
Morrow county took butislight in
terest in the orimary election today,
the fine weather having a tendency
to keep the farmer vote at home.
Heppner In two precincts with a total
registration or 771, cast 193 votes up
to 5 o'clock. It was estimated thai
not much more than 33 per cent of
the registered votes were cast.
George A. Bleakman, present
county commissioner, is the only as
pirant for the place on the republican
ticket and Ralph Benge is ' the only
candidate for the place on the demo
cratic ticket Leon W. Brlggs is the
only aspirant for the office of county
treasurer, his name appearing on the
republican ticket Jesse J. Wells,
present assessor and a democrat, is
unopposed in the primary. Joseph W.
Kitschner, county surveyor and a re
publican, also is without opposition.
E. M. Hulden is a favorite here for
representative from the 19th district
and it is expected that Alfred J. Smith
also will receive a good vote.
YAMHILL VOTE 60 PER CENT
But Small Number of Women Cast
Ballots In Election.
McMINNVILLE, Or., May 19. (Spe
cial.) Sixty per cent of the 7400 re
publican and democratic voters voted
in ' the primaries today in Yamhill
county, according to the estimate of
County Clerk Wilson. Fifty-two
hundred republicans and 2200 demo
crats are registered. The vote among
the women was light. The good
weather had the effect of cutting
down tne size or tha farmer vote.
The republicans have candidates1 for
precinct committeeman in every pre
cinct except one. The democrats had
no candidates for precinct committee
man.
Roy V. Stockton of Sheridan and
El Carey of Lafayette are unopposed
in the republican primary for the
two places in the lower branch of
the legislature from this county. The
democrats have no candidates for
these offrces.
WHEELER CONTEST IS CLOSE
Hall and Olcott Favorites in Race
for Governor.
FOSSIL, Or., May 19. (Special.)
Notwithstanding perfect weather and
good roads, the vote cast in Fossil
precincts, the largest in the county,
up to 5 o'clock this afternoon was
about 50 per cent of the registration,
there being a total registration in the
precinct of 398, and only 208 repub
licans and 20 democrats having voted
so far. The total vote cast today was
expected to reach about 275 by 8
o'clock. There were no political dis
cussions or demonstrations and but
little interest in the election was ap
parent. Hall seemed to be the choice
for governor, with Olcott a close sec
ond. The offices of sheriff and one
county commissioner are the only
county offices to be filled, and the
incumbents, C. A. Johnson, sheriff,
and Mike Dukeke, commissioner, ap
pear to have a walk-away.
UMATILLA VOTE IS RECORD
Perfect Weather Aids in Bringing
Out Many Voters.
PENDLETON, Or., May 19 (Spe
cial.) Perfect weather aided the
polling of a record primary vote in
Umatilla county, a big part of the re
publican registration being counted.
It was estimated that the percentage
of the republican vote was about two
thirds of the registration. Democrats
voted very lightly, the percentage
being estimated at about 40.
Partisans have been very active in
Pendleton in getting out a vote which
was believed to be mainly interested
in the race between N. J. Sinnott and
J. H. Gwinn for the republican nom
ination for representative in congress,
but the country precincts have not
reported any unusual interest for a
primary election. Senator Ritner, who
was not contested for the republican
nomination as state senator from
Umatilla county, has never had any
opposition in his party and is unop
posed in the democratic ranks.
DOUGLAS VOTE 60 PER CENT
Rain in Morning Interferes to
Some Extent With Election.
ROSEBURG, Or., May 19. (Special.)
About a 60 per cent vote was cast
in Douglas county, according to early
estimates. Voting was light during
the morning hours, probably due to
the weather conditions, a light rain
falling during most of the forenoon.
In the afternoon voting became
heavier and from indications woulu
run around 60 per cent of the regis
tered strength. It is possible that
the outlying rural precincts may
bring up the average to a better
figure. -
Considerable interest was shown in
the races for county offices. The re
publicans have a full county ticket.
with opposition for each office. The
democrats have no candidates in the
field for county positions.
A proposed bond issue of SoOOO for
the purchase of a park site caused
much interest in the city of Roseburg.
JOSEPHINE VOTE IS SMALL
Clouds and Showers Keep Crowds
From Going to Polls
GRANTS PASS., Or., May 19. (Spe
cial.) Cloudy weather with occa
sional showers slowed up voting in
Josephine county today.
Up to a late
hour this afternoon, .a very small
per cent of the total registered votes
had been cast. It is probable that not
more than half of the registered vot
ers will have cast their ballots when
the polls close.
The chief interest lies in the selec
tion of a candidate for governor. This
will be practically the only drawing
card to get local voters out As no
county measures are on the ballot and
the only competition is for represen
tative, little interest has been taken.
CANYON CITY VOTE IS LIGHT
Several Officers, Unopposed, Are
Nominated Again.
CANYON CITY, Or., May 19. (Spe-
! claL) The vote In Canyon City and!
John Day precincts was very light up
to late today. Several officers were
unopposed and therefore R. A. Ford
of Grant county was nominated for
representative in the district of Grant
and Harney counties and Wells W.
Wood for judge of the circuit court
of the ninth judicial district of Giant,
Harney and Malheur counties.
The city election was to decide
whether bonds of 35000 shall be is
sued for the municipal light plant.
CLACKAMAS VOTE IS LARGE
Candidates for Legislature and
Judge Are Unopposed.
OREGON CITY, Or., May 19. (Spe
cial.) Forty per cent of the voters,
it was estimated, went to the polls
in Clackamas county today. There
were no local measures on the ballot.
J. U. Campbell, candidate for the
republican nomination for judge in
the fourth district, was unopposed,
as was A. A. Prite, democratic candi
date for the legislature.
-Klamath Vote Light.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or.. May 19
(Special.) About 7o per cent of the
usual vote was cast here, observers
estimated, probably 3500 of 5400 reg
istered. Except for the contest for
the republican nomination for county
commissioner Between Asa Fordyce,
incumbent, and Charles Martin, and
lor tne circuit Judgeship race be
tween Police Judge Leavitt and E. L.
Elliott, candidate of the Hot Springs
courthouse faction, there were no
local contests to stir interest. A. L.
Wishard, republican, and W. T. Lee,
democrat, were unopposed for as
sessor. Hood River Vote Light.
HOOD RIVER, Or., May 19. (Spe
cial.) Contrary to expectations of
the heaviest primary vote in the
history of the county, it is likely.
unless a late rush to polls upsets the
Indications, that the vote will be one
of the lightest ever recorded. At 5
o'clock the total vote of the five city
precincts, the registration . of which
is 1234, was only 258. Reports from:
the - eight valley precincts indicated;
that the rural voting was no heavier
than that of the city.
Polk Democratic Vote Light.
DALLAS, Or., May 19. (Special.)
An estimated 50 per cent republican
vote was cast in Polk county. The
democratic vote was very light. The
only unopposed candidate on either
ticket is Ira C. Mehrling, democrat.
for county commissioner. Three city
bonding measures were voted on.
Many democrats changed registration
at the polls in order to vote the
republican ticket.
Wallowa Vote Light One.
ENTERPRISE, Or., May 19. (Spe
cial.) Because of heavy rain yester
day the total vote will not exceed 40
per cent of the number registered.
Ernest S. Johnson of Wallowa, re
publican candidate for re-election as
county commissioner, was without op
position. Olcott, Ralph Williams and
Sinnott probably are winners and the
recall beaten.
80 Per Cent Vote Recorded.
LAKEVIEW, Or., May 19. (Spe
cial.) The vote throughout Lake
county was very light and little in
terest was taken. No local measures
were on the ballot, and it seemed
probable that, not more than 30 per
cent of the normal vote would be cast

(Continued From First Page.)
sage for passing traffic. Threatening
sprays of rain failed to send them
home, and it was 11 o'clock before an
appreciable thinning of the ranks
was to be noticed.
The election returns were broadcast
from The Oregonian tower with such
clarity and distinctness that reports
were heard in cities all over the
state. More than a dozen long distance
calls from Sheridan, Albany, Oregon
City and other communities were re
celved and in many towns the entire
population was depending on radio
broadcasting for election news.
The radio service included bulletins
received by telegraph from all the
leading cities of the state, local re
turns, and musical numbers between
reports.
Mrs. Fred L. Olson, assisted at the
piano by Nettie Leona Foy, sang three
solos at the beginning of the hour.
They were "Waltz Song" from "La
Boheme," "At Parting," and "My
Hero," from "The Chocolate Soldier."
Beginning at 8:15 o'clock, after Mrs.
Olson's contributions, George Olsen's
Portland hotel orchestra put on its
regular Friday night concert to en
tertain the host of radio listeners.
Every known radio station was
crowded with au audience, listening
to the music and election returns. It
was probably the largest radio au
dience ever assembled In the state
and surrounding territory.
The selections by the Olsen or
chestra included "When the Sun Goes
Down," "Ty-Tee," "Wabash Blues,
"Are You Playing Fair?" "Southland,
and "Marie." There was also a solo,
"Ten ' Little Fingers and Ten Little
Toes," sung with orchestra accom
paniment by Robert Leahy, a bari
tone jazz singer.
The Oregonian's broadcasting serv
ice, resumed at 10 o'clock, was con
tinued until 12. Between reports the
Meier & Frank men's quartet sang
popular numbers, maintaining contin
uous entertainment until midnight.

counties. Gram has ovefcome a pres
ent lead in Multnomah of 420 and has

15. COOK, 83, IS VOTER
PIONEER WOMAN CASTS RE
PUBLICAN BALLOT. ,
Widow of Earliest Permanent
America Settler of Yamhill
Alert to Public Affairs.
On her S9th birthday, Mary Frances
Cook, Oregon pioneer of 1852. voted
yesterday in the republican primaries
in Irvington precinct No. 224. Mrs.
Cook is the widow of Amos Cook.
pioneer of 140, earliest permantnt
American settler of Yamhill couv.
"Many good men on this ballot,
commented Mrs. Cook as she viewed
the names and marked her choice.
"and some, I think, are better than
others."
Although but two years ago Mrs.
Cook suffered a leg fracture near the
hip, the injury soon mended and yes
terday she walked firmly to and from
the automobile that conveyed ner to
the polling place.
"And I trust," she remarked, "that
my vote has done some good."
Mrs. Cook came to Oregon by the
ox-team route from Groveland, near
Peoria, 111., in the party of her father,
John Tucker Scott In the same party
traveled her brother, Harvey W.
Scott, 40 years editor of The Ore
gonian; her sister, Catharine Amanda
Scott Coburn, well-known writer of
The Oregonian and the Portland Tele
gram; her sister, Abigail Jane Scott
Duniway, distinguished woman suf
frage leader of Oregon; her sister,
Harriet Louise Scott McCord-Palmer.
who lives at Tacoma, and two other
sisters, Margaret Ann Scott Fearn
side, pioneer of Tillamook county, and
Sarah Maria Scott Kelty, pioneer of
Yamhill county. Mrs. Cook was born
May 19, 1833. On August 16, 1853, she
was married at Lafayette. Or., to
Amos Cook, who had come to Oregon
in 1839-40 as a member of the Peoria
party. Mr. Cook died at Lafayette,
Or., February 3, 1S95. Their daugh
ters I've at Portland Agnes ijook
Bradshaw, widow of Judge W. L.
Bradshaw; Maude Cook Young and
Miss Pearl Cook. Another daughter,
Lillian Cook Olds, now deceased, was
the wife of William P. Olds.
Mrs. Cook dissuaded her daughters
from g'ving her a birthday present of
a new pair of shoes. "Girls," she said,
"I have good shoes now that will last
me until I am gone."
This active pioneer woman reads
the daily newspapers and Is keen and
alert to public affairs. After her leg
accident of two years ago she feared
she would not walk again. "But I
made up my mind," she said, "I would
take things easy, for the first time
in my life, and make the best of the
trouble, and here I am, well again,
and walking to the polls."
ELECTIONS BHDS El
LUDICROUS MISTAKES MADE
DURING BALLOTING.
Democrats Nearly Disfranchised
by Officials in One Pre
cinct in Portland.
Election' boards throughout the
country yesterday made the average
number of ludicrous mistakes, . such
aa characterize all such occasions.
There was the board composed of
republicans which sought to disen
franchise all democrats by insisting
that all voters make their selections
only from the republican candidates.
The members of the board did not
know democrats were entitled to vote
for democrats, and had failed to res
urrect the democratic ballots from
the bottom of the sack in which all
the paraphernalia had been delivered.
In another board, the pink sample
ballots were dished out to all demo
crats instead of the regular white
ones. Other boards used the sample
ballots in the recall election.
Instead of numbering the three bal
lots required for each oter with the
same numeral, some election officials
i;sed a progressive system of num
bering, which led to some precincts
ohi-wino- from THA official tally sheets
that 575 persons out of 320 registered
had voted there.
There were the accustomed number
of squabbles between board members
and voters whose names did not show
on the books because of having failed
to register a change in address on
moving.
More than ever before did indignant
voters demand the right to vote on
the republican ballot despite the fate
which had caused them to register as
democrats, socialists, independents or
prohibitionists. In numerous cases,
persons were found who had reg
istered independent in 1916 and had
by some means been voting ever since
on the republican ticket, but the
boards were more strict yesterday.
If Mrs. Jones of Kennebunkport
drops the breakfast dishes and spends
the day with Mrs. Brown at the con
tinuous movies, it may be that her
husband's dinnere is preparing by
wireless. .
