X, triumph Results of Friday's primaries make it certain that
a majority of the, next legislature will be pledged uncom
promisingly to observe the. people's will in the election of
United States senator.
In Multnomah county," the' stronghold of machine rule,
Statement No. 1 has scored a sweeping victory. Similar re
sults are reported from many other parts of the state.
While legislative candidates ; opposed to this principle
have been nominated by the dominant party in some counties,
they will be opposed in June by candidates " who are pledged
to Statement No. 1, and the vote in the primaries leaves no
doubt as to the ultimate outcome. The people of Oregon will f

H. M. Caka leads for the nomination
for United 8tates senator over Charles
W. Fulton by 2,454 votes, according to
the reports which have been so far re
ceived. " This Includes the complete re
turns ' from Multnomah county and In
complete returns from practically all
of the other counties of the state. In
most of these counties the precincts yet
h be heard from are small and will
have no material effect on the final re
sult, though they may either Increase
or diminish the lead which Mr. Cake
now haa. Judging however from the
general trend of the voting It Is safe
to presume that the margin will be in
creased rather than diminished.

Moser made- a creat f isht ' for tha
nomination, and perhaps had . the beat
organisation of any ef the candidates
save Judge Cameron. One of tha argu
ments advanced by the other candidates
gainst Moser, which undoubtedly cost
im many votes, was In reference to his
connection with Manning. -While Moser
defended his position in this -regard
upon the stump. , it Is. believed by his
friends that this was the factor that
cost Mm the nomination.
Sinnott's showing was not only a dis
appointment to himself, but, to his
friends. It was expected that he would
he much farther p in the lead, although
at all times it was hard to get a line oa
his support Sinnott claimed a large
share of the labor Wota during tha cam
paign. -
Cameron's greatest strength was on
the west side.- Out of 42 precincts he
carried 32, while on the east aide he did
nearly aa wen., carrying za out or 42.
Cole was expected to carry a majority
of the outlyfna precincts. One of 80 of
tbesa Cole carried 16, while Cameron
carried six and Moaer five. Slnnott led
In but one precinct, and that waa on tha
east side.' Cole carried 16 out of 43
east side precincts, and -three on . the
west side. Moser led in three -west
side precincts, and in two on tha east
side. -a - .,-..( .
A summary ' of the .nrectneta . showa
