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

"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

place at 6,000. 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

Republican county ticket.

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

' 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

The most interesting and absorbing

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
