fraud would have been shown upnot
clearly -In the counties which Cake car
rled in April. What the figures prove
lst that if any Democrats - registered
falsely they must have voted at the pri
maries for Fulton. - .
--! Analyses in Tote. i '.
vpnly five counties In the state gave
Cake fewer votes at the June election
than were cast at the Republican pri
mary election In April for both Fulton
and Cake. Clatsop, Fulton's home
county. feU oft 63 votes; of these about
180 might have been Democrats, though
that is not certain. In Lincoln there
were 82; in Multnomah 4099; In Tilla
mook 80, and In Wasco 114 voters who
cast their ballots for Fulton or Cake
In the Republican primary election who
did not vote for Cake in June. It Is
fair to assume that most of these were
Republicans who voted . for Fulton's
nomination, because those Republicans
who voted for Cake's nomination in
April would naturally vote for his elec
tion Hi June. In Mnltnntn.lt .nniit. it
Is possible some of these were Demo
crats, because In that county the Demo
cratic vote In Jvmf- exceeds the regis
tration by 712, but there were probably
800 or more Democrats registered after
i" Apnt nominating election. It is
clear that not more than 800 or 400 men
at the utmost registered in bad faith
and voted for either Fulton or Cake, or
both of them, and It is much more
likely that such a number honestly
changed their minds. In any event. It
is absolutely certain from the returns
and the registration that the fraudu
lent vote was not great'enough to nom
inate Mr. Cake or Mr. Fulton, or any
other candidates.
Tlgnres In megistratlon.
The registration of Proiibltlonlsts,
Socialists, Populists, Independents, and
those who refused to state their polit
ical party was 12.386, while the So
cialist and Prohibitionist vote in June
was 14.078, showing that from 1500 to
2000 who registered, as Republicans
must have voted these tickets, but it
by no means follows that they voted
at the Republican primary election. At
the Apru primary election about 72.000
Republicans were registered and only
49,000 voted, showing that nearly 23,000
Republicans who were registered at
that time cared so little for the differ
ence between Fulton and Cake that they
failed to vote for either. At the June
election 80,921 Republicans were regis
tered but only 67,468 Voted for the Repub
lican candidate for representative in
congress, showing a falling off of 13,

One optometrist in Portland who does

at the June election, only 62.S50 Repub

?rove that nearly all the men who
ailed to vote, either at the June or No
vember elections, were registered as
Republicans, .... h; ' ......
. Wast Tots Chews. '
' vThe returns show beyond question
that 11,659 Republicans who voted for
Hawley or Ellis, Republican candidates
for congress, also voted for Chamber
lain In June foe United States senator,
and with these were 2.112 registered
Republlcsns voting for Chamberlain
who did not vote for any other officer.
Chamberlain's total Republican vote
was st least 18,681.
If there was fraud In the nomination
of Cake In April by reason of men
falsely registered as Republicans who
were In fact Democrats, I hope
some of those who really believe It will
show from the official registration and
election returns the evidence on which
they base their opinion. After very
careful study snd analysis. I can find
no reason to believe that one voter -in
a hundred in Oregon registered his
party polities falsely. This is certainly
a wonderful advance ' In political mor
als, over ths system of a few years ago,
when mercenaries often voted in an
other party's primaries for the purpose
of helping one faction or the other.
