' Wilson and Msjsnall had carried 88
f:of the 48 .states In the Union. - In the
others they had run second, and some
of them were recorded against Democ

vote was very ele'se, and these two
states -represented a total of 63 "rotes
- in the electoral college.

Wilson Is expected to assume - the
leadership df his party in both, houses

T0Runs Third An Multnomah County
' NIAYREAGH5000
Later Election Returns Indi
cate That the Democratic
Candidate Has Won Sweep
ing Victory in Oregon.
Oregon has gone for Woodrow Wil
son. Partial returns from 18 Oregon
counties, and from more than. 100 pre
cincts of the 193 in Multnomah county,
have made this practically certain today.
In second place Is not Theodore Roose
velt, but William --tt-Taft. --More .sur
prising than that Is the fact that Taft
is, according to the returns so far in,
only 826 votes belnd Wilson.
But it is significant that Wilson is
maintaining about the same lead all
over the state, and that as the compil
ing of additional votes proceeds his plu
rality is steadily growing larger,.
The returns from the 18 counties and
114 precincts in Multnomah county so
far gathered give the following vote:
Vlllson, 10,847;. Taft, 9021; ftoosevelt,
8820. ' "
Wilson Leads Count.
Of these precincts, the; count from
84 is complete. In practically everyone
or thenrWilson led by a safe, though
not a large vote.
The returns from the 80 other pre
cincts are scattering, but indicate fair
ly well what the final vote 'will be.
In many of these preclnots not half the
vote has been counted yet.
"In the stale Outside of Pot tlanaV, Wil
son Is running much stronger propor
tionally than in the city. The 18 coun
ties to jrejrort partial returns so far
glveWilion 6148, Roosevelt 4844, and
Taft 4702. It was In Portland that the
tide went hardest agulnst Roosevelt.
' The eighteen "counties outside of
Multhomth that have reported on the
count are Feker, Benton, Clackamas,
Clutsop, Columbln,JlQ9i, Douglas, Grant.
Hood Ulver,' Jackson, Linn, Malheur,
Morrow, Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla,
Union and 'Washington,
It seems safe to say now that WI1
son's total pWallty""W!irwnSTeltwen
2000 . and 5000. and li may be larger,
though the vote as Rt pres-sn: counted
does not Indicate that U will be. But
Oregoif will be in the Wijion column.
The vpte is comtng In very slowly be
cause of the huge size of the ballots.
The time required for counting Is Illus
trated ""tmrse--we-trecincttn
whloh 152 persons voted.
. It took 12 hours to record the vote in
this precinct. That was an average of
not quite IS votes to the hour. This Is
much faster than they are being counted
in soma -precincts.
In the casa of the liruer downtown
precincts, it may be tomorrow night be.
fore the complete count is in, and the
great majority of precincts probably will
not complete the count before tomorrow
morning.
Returns From 28
Precincts Give Lafferty
1095, Munly 681,
A. W. Lafferty has undoubtedly been
elected representative In congress from
the third congressional district.
The only question about Lafferty's
election Is the else of tjts majority.
From returns now in from 79 Multno
mah county precincts, he has a major
ity over both ThormnrMcCusker and M.
G. Munly, his opponents. Munly, Dem
ocratlo nominee. Is running ahead of
McCusker. who is a poor third In the
race.
The complete count from 28 precincts
lcs Lafferty 1095 votes, Munly 681,
and McCusker 455. Partial returns
from 61 other precincts are piling up
Lafferty's lea4 still higher.

The contest between Tom Word and
Fitzgerald for sheriff is the closest
oh the Multnomah . county ballot, and
the result probably will not be certain
until the official count from every pre
cinct is In.
Full returns from 28 preclncTiTicat

Eighty-one additional precincts had
been heard from at a late hour this
afternoon.- " The grand tout, including
results from these districts, for each

returns has a lead of 286 votes. This
lead is In a total for both men of 8926
votes. From 81 precincts. Fitxgerald
has 4730 votes and Word 4556.
Word is getting his heavy vote in the

Suffrage is running behind in the
city of Portland, but very incomplete
returns from the outside counties in
dicate that the women are in favor
there and that the measure will receive
good majorities. Complete returns from
28 scattering precincts in Multnomah
county and Portland give a majority of
87 for the measure, the vote being 1396
for and 1309 against. In the city the
tide is against suffrage. Incomplete
counts In So scattering precincts giv
ing 2814 votes for and 4136 against
Very meager returns from 10 counties,
including Benton, Clackamas, Columbia,
Coos, Hood River, Jackson, Morrow)
Umatilla, Union and Washington, give
5781 votes for the women and 4905
airalnst, a lead In favor of 87 votes.
If the final returns from all the out
side counties keep up this ratio, any
majority against suffrage plied up in
the city probably will be wiped out and
the bill will pass. ,

effect,' James J. Hill, railroad magnate,
declared today. "I feel better over the

tion," be said. "An attempt was being
made to bring aboufa political revolu

siring a change, showed their - good
sense by repudiating revolutionary doc-"
trine and sticking to, sound principles
and established methods of bringing

opened at 8 o'clock and an hour later
buying was active. Orders were begin,
nlng to be received at the all night es

expected, however, Wilson's election had
nothing like so marked an effect on
