Miitntv wnvmmmmnt All tha atrenarth of the revolt was directed against three of the machine's nominees, James Stott for sheriff. Sanderson Reed for' district Attarnev end A. . H Courteney for state senator. Tha defeat of Btott and Reed waa crushing, and tha majorities against them rang from 4,000 to 1,000. and pos sibly even - more. At noon today the itepu oilcan - county . nnujquangn naa "stopped- trying to figure" how badly ' these "candidates were beaten. , With the exception of Reed. Stott. and probably Courteney, tha entire Republi can ticket was elected In this county. This result was a foregone conclusion, for the Democrats had no expectation of defeating any but the three candidates named. John Manning, tha Democratic nomi nee for . district attorney, baa been .

His victory is all the mora signal for the reason that if was won la a straight fight against his Re publican opponent with no other candi date In tha field. Tom Word's spectacular race for . sheriff landed Jiim a winner over all his five competitors by a plurality, that is figured all tha way from 4,000 to 6,000. Stott, the Republican nominee, la a ' hopeless second, and received tha small est vote of any candidate on, tha whole Republican county ticket. rrobably Beats Ccrorteney. C W. Nottingham, Independent Re publican, who made a single handed contest for the state senate against A. E. Courteney, the machine . nominee, uiauo SB lUWSb VIllBt Late -returns from the Ninth. Tenth , and Eleventh , precincts give Courteney a lead over Nottingham of loo votes. The Indications are that Courteney Is elected by a narrow margin. Of all the nominations bv tha Repub lican machine, none was more unpopu lar than Courteney'.. As chairman of the last two county conventions of his ' party he had displayed a dictatorial de termination to carry out tha will of the .machine, regardless of all opposition, whioh aroused tha indignation of all in dependent voters, and intensified the prejudice against him as an alien, of dubious loyalty to American institutions, The crowning . argument against hint waa . hi . refusal to - pledge himself to oppose the threatened attack upon the city charter.-his attitude being all the mora, significant because of his intimate relations with the machine, with which t tha conspiracy originated. V Many causes contributed to the mag " nlflcent victory of. John Manning and Tom Word, but the controlling and de cisive factor was the independent vote. . To the good citlzena of the county the result is to be chiefly, -attributed.. This Is conclusively ahowjt by the vote In Jorities were rolled up for both candl- corruption and bribery usually run ram- - pant and , unchecked, the vote wa re markably -light, in several precincts ' being only 60Lor 60 per cent of the regia .tratlon. - &&&&&&& tyf;i7t Arrests Chack ru4iv7-". ?; ' t- Wholesale frauds ; were . expected V in ' soma of tha north - end . precincts and : close watch was kept by tha Demo- - cratlo workers. Attempts by Jack, Grant and othera of tha Portland club gang to run in Illegal votes by manufactured affidavits were followed by prompt ar rests and this determined action proved an effectual check to further frauds. The result waa an extraordinary and signifi cant falling off in tha vote in these pre cincts. In precinct , known as "Jack Grant's precinct." tha vote waa only iso out of a registration of 4S. In pre cinct 4, where Larry Sullivan and tha Grants have been wont to vote their gangs of repeaters and oolonlsed voters at will, tha vote was only I0S out of a registration of ISO. Tha returns show unmistakably that the Influence of tha north end in tha election was reduced to a minimum and that tha remits are to be attributed, not to the saloons or the gamblers, but to the respectable and law-abiding voters of tha oountv. JrH' r Local option - waa - defeated in tms oounty but by so small a majority that It la apparently mora than offset by tha vota for tha law, 1ft tha remainder of tha state. , Tha direct primary law prevailed in this county by a large majority and it haa been equally successful la tha re mainder of tha state.

This would Indicate that the measure has passed beyond a doubt and by an unexpectedly large majority. The nine counties yet to be heard from ara Curry, Grant. Harney, Jackaon, Klamath, Blake, Lane, Malheur and Whoeler, The vote in favor of the direct pri marlea Is decisive in its favor. On the state printer amendment the vote is lighter and closer, but It haa un doubtedly carried by a small majority, Congressional Situation. The most interesting and absorbing contest in the entire state except on the single subject of local option and over shadowing even' that within its district. was the contest in the First eongres slonal district between Binger Hermann, Republican, and R. M. Veatch, . Demo crat, for a seat in congress. The district embraces 17- counties, ex tending from below Multnomah down the Columbia to tha ocean and backward and southward through the state to the California Una. Tha normal Republi can majority in that district is between 7,600 and 9,600. The first returns re ceived, which were sent out without adequate information at the back of them, indicated that Hermann waa elected by a normal Republican ma Jorlty. Returns up to -this hour have been received from eight counties, Including Benton, uiacKamaa, coos, Josephine, Lane, Linn, Marlon, Polk, Tillamook and Washington. They show that Her mann received 11.764 votes, and Veatch 9.160.' leaving Hermann 2,614 plurality in those counties. It is estimated that Hermann's major ity in Douglas county will reach 600 and in Lincoln county 250. thus bring ing tha total to 3,861. There is every In dication that the normal Republican ma jority will be cut at least one-half In Hermann's, case. , ' FIRST DISTRICT. xnroojr. 1.072; for representative, Hedges, 1,788; Holcomb. 1,834.
