number or vote at the popular election.
On the other hand the equal .suffrage

Await Official Count.
Returns on the constitutional amend
ment and the referendum and initia
tive measure are coming In slowly, so
that It will not be possible to know the
certain result on all of them until the
official count is made by the aecretary
of Btate. County clerk aJe now at work
on the official Count for the different
counties, and will send Ithelr result
to Secretary of State Benson as soon a
completed. He will at once make the
official count, at which tlm the fate
of ail the candidate and measure will
be definitely known.
1 In . Multnomah county complete re
turn from practically all of th pre
cincts show the equal uffrag amend
ment to have been snowed under to the
ttinn of 14,24 vote against and i,8
vote for. i What acattertng : vote ha
coma In from over tha state leads to
the calculation that the equal suffrage
amendment will be put to sleep by some
35,000 negative votes by the tlma the
official count 1 made. . i
Sing-la Tax Fall Outside. ,
The single tax amendment apparently
was not" a - unpopular in . Multnomah
county a It was outside In tha rural
districts of the state. "The vote so far
counted In Multnomah county gives the
amendment 9.664 affirmative and 1,866
negative votes. .. It 1 estimated, how
ever, that the result ot the official
count throughout tha state will swell
the negative vot until there will .be a
much larger margin.
The desire of tha people . of Mult
nomah county that their legislative del
egation elect the senatorial candidate
receiving tha popular vote Is shown by
the big vote given the amendment to
the constitution instructing the mem
bers of the legislature to observe tha
popular will. ? Thi . amendment , wa
given 14,614 affirmative votes a
against 4,358 negative vote In 4 tha
county. . -
indications from -over the batata" ere
that a correspondingly heavy vote has
been. given the measure In every county.

that1 the old grand Jury system be' re

that the power of finding Indictment
against accused men be limited to grand
Juries and not given into the nana of

tirmative vote was ii,ytu ana tne neg
ative vote 6,606;
- In general term It may be said that
the final- returns from over the state
will show that the amendment Increas
ing the pay of legislator has been de
feated. The amendment authorizing th
location of a tata institutions at place
other than' the capital of the state has
passed. The amendment Increasing the
number of supreme, judges ha fined.
The amendment fixing the time for hold
