In some of the outside counties Dlm lck has cut down the Bowerman lead, but the Condon man Is safe. . He will be a plurality nominee, falling 7000 or 8000 short of the total vote cast for his three anti-assembly opponents. Had either Abraham or Hofer kept out of the fight, Dlmlck would be the Repub lican nominee. In Multnomah county practically complete returns show . Bowerman car ried the county by 602 votes.

In complete returns front seven but of IT counties,, including Multnomah, put A, W. Lafferty over 3J0o ahead of Con gressman Kills. Apparently he will win by at least 3200. The vote of the two leaders now stands at 7570 for Lafferty and 4302 for Ellis. Reed and Shepherd are so far behind that they do not figure In the running, although Reed's vote runs a little higher than the Bills fig ures In Multnomah county. Practically complete returns from Multnomah give Lafferty 6542, Reed S677, Ellis 3620 and Shepherd 2888. In the First congressional district Congressman W. C. Hawley has won Over B. F. Mulkey, his insurgent oppo nent, by perhaps 2500. On the state ticket, below the office of governor, the returns are so incom plete as to be of little value In determin ing the final vote, or the majorities; In no case, however, except that of labor commissioner, Is there any doubt as to the result Thomas B.
