New Method Is Found to Aid
in Getting Results.

Totals From Half of Precincts Ke

Curlier Than Usual.
As a result of the new method of

'known 24 houi
rial totals for all candi-
ultnomah county were
hours earlier than under
the old system. Election officials
were highly pleased with results,
were relieved of many hours of anxi
ety over the outcome and the gen
eral public found the nervous strain
considerably lessened.
At noon yesterday the last of the
426 precincts in Multnomah county
reported to County Clerk Beveridge.
At the primaries two years ago it
was not until 4 o clocK of the second
day after the election that all totals
were in.
Boards Work Long Hoars. "
Hours were rather long for the
counting boards, which went on duty
at 10 o'clock in the morning and were
not relieved until 8 o'clock the next
- morning by the day board if the
count was not completed by that
hour. Experience indicated that not
much time would be lost if the count
ing boards went to work at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon instead of 10 o'clock
in the morning.
The first precinct to be reported
officially to the county clerk came In
at 9:30 Friday night, one hour and a
half after the closing of the polls.
The Oregonlan had many reports
from motorcycle couriers and by tele
phone prior to this time, however,
which indicated. the trend of voting
throughout the city.
By 10 o'clock 10 precincts had re
ported; by 11 P. M., 76 had been heard
from; by 11:30. 96; by midnight, 155;
by 12:30. 213. and by 2:30, 295. It will
be noted that exactly 60 per cent of
the precincts had reported at mid
night, the total number of polling
places in the county beine: 426.
Reports Much Speeded. ,
Tinder the old system, in effect two
years ago, there werj scarcely a score
of official reports in the county
clerk's office at 8 o'clock on the morn
ing following the election. The big
rush then was between noon and 6
o'clock of the second day. Under the
present arrangements the rush is vir
tually over by morning after the elec
tion. Reports from all sections of the city
; indicated that the election was con
ducted more smoothly than usual and
there were few complaints concern
ing the new counting system.
The only untoward occurrence was
the explosion of an oil stove In pre
cinct 11, near the North Bank depot,
in the course of the counting. Burn
ing oil was scattered all over the
floor and records, causing considera
ble damage. The board saved all that
It could and sent the reports In the
best condition possible. Luckily the
tally sheets were uninjured, save for
a scorching, and the vote record was

explosion were David T. Votaw

Machines Sow Considered.
The tremendous amount of work
and'heavy cost to the county Involved
in preparing for a big election, in
cluding the provision of election and
counting boards in 426 precincts, prep
aration of ballots, tally sheets, etc.;
furnishing of voting booths, tables
, chairs, stoves, ballot boxes, etc., and
instruction of boards, has led to fur-

. By putting such machines into use
gradually the cost to the county would
not be excessive and the final saving

4 ASPIRANTS FAR BEHIND
Klan Issue Raised by Executive
Narrows Contests Democrats .
Are Pleased by Results.
From the moment the counting be
gan in Multnomah county the battle
for the republican nomination for
governor settled down to a hard
fought contest between Governor Ol
cott and Senator Hall.. This fact
corroborated the predictions made by
political observers ten days ago that
the contenders were Olcott and Hall
and that the other four aspirants
were eliminated.
There was "a new alignment of
fcrces when the governor issued his
proclamation against the Ku Klux
Klan. Whatever prospects I. L. Pat
terson, George A. White or Louis E.
Bean had up to that time were
blghted like vegetation under a
heavy.frost. There came a veritable
scramble from the camps of Patter
son, Bean and White and these sup
porters lined up either with Hall or
Olcott, according as they viewed the
new issue which was raised in the
campaign. J. D. Lee's candidacy had
never been taken seriously from the
day of his announcement.
Race Becomes Closer.
As the count progressed the vote
of the leadiing candidates made the
race one of the closest, of recent
campaigns. At the start Olcott took
a slight lead, losing it later to his
opponent from Marshfield. and while
Olcott cut down this lead time and
again, he never succeeded In overcom
ing it entirely and maintaining the
mastery for more than a brief In
terval.. If a precinct came In with a sub
stantial Olcott vote, it was almost im
mediately counter-balanced by an
other precinct bringing reinforce
ments into the Hall column. This
see-saw kept up almost constantly,
but having won a lead of a few hun
dred votes, Hall held it against the
governor as - one after another of
the remainder of the 426 precincts
were brought in and tabulated.
No one carried Multnomah county
by the pre-primary estimates. Ol
cott's representatives had claimed the
county by 5000 and the Hall people
forecast that they would roll up
25,000 voles.
Democrats Are Pleased.
Democratic leaders express them
selves as well pleased with the out
come of the republican primaries.
Democrats have been watching from
the sidelines the dissensions which
crept into the republican party as the
campaign developed and they laid
their plans early in the game to take
advantage of the situation and they
plan to ealvage a large segment of
the disappointed republican vote. If
the feeling engendered in the repub
lican primaries is not abated by the
time the general election is held In
November, the democrats hope to
elect Walter M. Pierce as governor
and- possibly to land a few other
democrats in office, in addition to
increasing the party's representation
in the legislature.
With unaccustomed c o-n f 1 d e n c e
democrats are anticipating success
for their gubernatorial nominee and
their legislative ticket in Multnomah
county. They argue that the switch
of a few thousand republican votes
are all that is necessary.
Orange Ticket Carries.
A glance at the results in the re
publican primaries in Multnomah
county discloses that the orange

vored by the Oregon Federation of
Patriotic Societies was almost uni
formly successful.
This ticket was selected after weeks
of conferences and deliberations and
was eventually' adopted by all of the
several organizations affiliated with
the federation, including the Ku Klux
Klan, the latter having decided to
throw its weight behind the orange
ticket notwithstanding there were
other candidates which klansmen
would have preferred. Senator Hall's
vote is considered as the maximum
strength of the federation not only in
Multnomah county, but throughout
Oregon.
Experienced Men Fail.
In selecting the nominees for the
legislature, the electorate deiiber'
ately rejected some of the most ex
perienced legislators who were on
the ballot, and gave preference to
aspirants who were unknown. Fol
lowers of the orange ticket refused
to deviate an lota from the list
handed to them to support and the
orange ticket was not overburdened
with legislative veterans. Several
well-known candidates, with good
legislative records, who had been in
dorsed in previous campaigns by the
federation, were left off the current
ticket and thereby lost this solidified
backing..- . .
With a large number of aspirants
running, which caused votes to
scatter In all directions, the united
croup, eupportins the. yellow; .ticket
was able by concentration to win'
through with its legislative ticket, or
practically all of it.
TWO LINN CANDIDATES TIED
Thorns and Springer May Have to
