iTXJffiNE. Or., June S. There Is ft re-
ftriarkable absence of any satisfaction
with the . election of Hermann on the
inart of Republicans everywhere, so far !
'j learned. It is said that many who
voted for him did so only because they
'were loath to support a Democrat, but
honed Reames would win all the time.
t Already Republican politicians talk of
next'yeaf. when they must make an-
' other nomination, and they realise that
tvr timortlrijr Hermann In this cam-
ipalgn. they have placed themselves In alt
embarrassing situation. j neir utter
ances this year since Hermann's nomi
nation and during his campaign make it
difficult to oppose Hermann in next

In some quarters a sullen feeling

dared not ask an Investigation, and now
that the election is over. Republican

Xe tores Coma Blowly.
Election returns are yet very Incom
plete.' None have yet been received
from Curry County, which Is estimated
t lit for Hermann. Several counties
are only partially estimated. 8uch cor-
' irectlons in yesterday's tables as can be
made today apparently show a gain for
Hermann of lit. thereby increasing yes
terday's plurality from 1.930 to 2,086.
; Benton County Increases .Hermann's'
plurality from 70 to 97. Jackson de-
'ureases Reames from 200 to 160. Ma-
rion Increases Hermann's count from
to 17, Lane decreases Hermann on
'the incomplete count from IE0 to 300;

though Democratic, advice's ssy the

With an ounce or more of carbolic acid eating at his vitals and tortured by
the memory of a life misspent, a young man lay all night in a room of the
Abbott Lodging Houise. 228 Vi Washington street and. although it seems little
short of a miracle, was able to leave his bed in the morning and wander out
to on unknown fate.
The Identity of the lodger has not been established, and It Is not known
whether he abandoned his intention or suicide or pursued it by drowning
himself In the lver or by other mean. It Is feared that, not content with
his first and Unsuccessful attempt h" has Mnce ended his lire.
From fragments of notes written by the man before he drank the carbolic
acid, it Is apparent that he believed lv! had ample reason for suicide. Evi
dently he- had sunk in the oclal seal until all friends had repudiated htm.
Even the woman he loved had deserted him. This final blow was the evident
direct cause of his act.-
The young man Is described as of slender hulld, medium height, and
well-dressed in a dark grey suit; he wore a Kedora hat. He rented a room at
the Abbott from Miss Condon, daughter of the landlady, paying In advance.
During the night several lodgers complained that noises from the room oc
cupied by the stranger disturbed tncm. uroans, as tnougn uttered Dy one
In fearful agony. Issued from the apartment, with an occasional Intelligible
word or two.
But no effort was made to ascertain If the occupant of the room was suf
fering. "He's talking In his sleep, was the comment, and those who had been
wakened returned to their rest.
And all night long the nameless lodger endured the awful agony of the
poison, alone and unaided.
On the following morning tno room was iQunato pe untenanted. Tne
young man had disappeared. The condition of the room made it evident that
In his suffering the would-be suicide nad eaten a portion or a plug or chew
ing tobacco, which had been left by a former occupant. This had evi
dently acted as an emetic.
Several stamp photographs, torn In many pieces, were found scattered
about the room. One of the pictures was evidently that of the man who had
tried to end his life. Another was of a young woman.
On a business card was written the name "McOllver. which had been
subsequently scratched out with a pencil. It Is possible this Is the name of
the man who rented the room.
"Margarlte" is another name which had been written on another card.

WHAT SEATTLE SAYS;
OF BINGER HERMANN
Harold Preston, Republican, and lnte
candidate for United States Senator
from. -Washington I am uot wholly In
touch with Oregon politics and criti
cism by me would be out of place. I
may say, however, that in my opinion
It la. always ..ill-advised for the party
to put forward a man for pultflc. -offics
who has by his past acts, Innocently or
knowingly, Incurred the enmity or ill
will of the people at large.
There, (ire plenty of men in t ic Re
publican party who are known to be
upright and honest and who have the
confidence of tin people regardless of
their political affiliations. Surh men as
these nhoulu be made the party leauera
and not those who are known to be at
buts with the administration. As 1
said before, I am' not wholly In touch
with the political situation in Oregon,
but I do know in a general way that
Mr. Singer Hermann has been' the
cause, either innocently or because of
his official acts, of considerable dls
Bftnsion in the rankH of iho party 111
that State. While I will lint pretend to
pass judgment on his record bh a Re
publican and an office-holder, I will say
In a general way that there is never
any party Denelit to De derived irom
forcing a man forward as a candidate
who has' the ill-will of any considerable,
number of people in the community in
which he lives.
I am glad that a Republican was
elected, but I deplore the fact that the
election was had at the cost of so much
factional strife. - r
John IV. Goodwin, Democrat, and one
of the party leaders in Western Wash
ington I was more than :rry to learn
that Reamrs was defeated sorry for
the reason that he Is a sood man and
a good Democrat, and sorry because the
man who was elected represents an ele-
rncnt In the Republican party that is
anything but beneficial to thu country
ut large. 4 '
No man. no matter what his political
.1 heyjpf r.oiv v true to hirolf and, tbe
great majority of .-his constituents the
people whom he represents and whose
interesta he "18 supposed to conserve"
who depends for his election on those
great corporations that are known to
be corrupt.
The Southern Pacific Railroad and
the lumber trust have no regard for
the conscience of an individual nor for
the rights of the ordinary citizen. A
man who depends upon their Influence
for his election must certainly put
Mmself under obligations to them, be
cause they would not support him if he
did not. Such obligations as these are
most certainly to the Interests of the
corporations and In like measure,
prejudicial to the Interests of the com
munity at large. '
It is a calamity to any community
to have as a representative In the
National Congress a man who is not in
touch with the existing administration
and who has not the confidence of the
community which he Is supposed to
represent. This principle applies to
men of every or nny party.
1 think that the result of the Oregon
election was a misfortune in more ways
tha-i one a misfortune that nffects-'not
only Oregon but the entire Pacific
Northwest.
Mayor Thomas J. Humes, Republican
I have taken very little interest in
the election In Oregon and have no
criticisms to oJter. cither as regards
Mr. Hermann or his late opponent. I
know, of course, that Hermann has not
hern in touch with the national admin
istration and rather believed that he
would he defeated for that reason. But
that was no concern of mine. I have
troubles of my own.
Zi. O. Qillman, prominent' attorney
and Democratic leader I believed from
the first that Hermann would be
elected, for-? the reason that no matter
how impofHifor a man may be person
ally, or what bis ;icts may have been
as an office-holder, if he is on the side

Hermann's victory was a political
victory. He owes his election to the
fact that ho was the nominee of the

I do not imagine that ther will be

George V. Piper, Republican, and
