Dr. Smith's Plurality in Mult
nomah 637 in 286 Out of
326 Precincts.
Late reports from 29 of the state's
34 counties establish beyond a shadow
of a doubt that Dr. C. J. Smith of Port
land Is the Democratic nomine for
governor with a plurality of around
1600.
Early last night the Bennett forces
eonoeded Dr. Smith the nomination by
1000 rotas, but as the reports rolled In
from the outlying counties of the state
the plurality of the former Pendleton
man advanced by leaps and bounds to
over 1400.
Dr. Smith's plurality In Multnomah
equalled 637 votes for complete re
turns from 286 of the county's 324 pre
cincts. It being impossible to get the
vote of the remaining precincts due to
the tally sheets being locked in the
ballot boxes.
With Smith leading and Bennett sec
ond. Manning ran on the very heels of
Judge Bennett in Multnomah county
but fell woefully behind In the state

county wan as follows: Smith, 11,278;
Bennett, 9924; Manning, 4659; Cobb,
17G6. and Miller, 1054.
Returns last night Indicated that
Smith hud carried the following coun

Douglas, Harney, Lane, Multnomah,
Tillamook, Umatilla. Crook. Union.

Smith Carries , Tormar Home County.
Dr. Smith carried Ills former home
lounty. Umatilla, by 742 voles, while
in Baker county, where the contest
1-etwtnn Bennett and himself was most
keen, he was only 64 behind The Dalles
mun for 26 precincts. It is signifi
cant, too. in this county that Ed Rand,
the sheriff who figured in the Cop
Vcrfleld case, was defeated. This is
regarded a striking index of Dr.
, Smith's strength In what in many re
Fpects was deemed a hostile county
due to the law enforcement issue be
ing paramount.
Kven In Wasco, Judge Bennett's
home county. Dr. Smith polled 208
votes, according to incomplete returns,
to the judge's 676.
Manning's strength fell far below
estimates made by himself previous
to the election, even his vote in Mult
nomah, where his strength was sup
posed to He, falling below Judge
Bennett and Dr. Smith, and prov
lng that the fears expressed In
the campaign that he would prove a
formidable candidate were groundless,
He failed to carry a single county.
For congress a neck and neck race
was carried on between A. F. Flegel
and E. I Van Dresar In the Third
district, which comprises Multnomah
county.

Klegel was leading at the close of
the count on 286 precincts of the
county by 40 votes, but with 40 pre
cincts still unaccounted for, Van Dre
sar was considered to have more than
a fighting chance.
Dr. Klof T. Hedlund was third, mak
ing a remarkably good race consider
lng it was his advent into politics and
.the fact that he was comparatively un
known at the beginning of the cam
paign. The vote for 286 precincts
stood 2759 for Flegel, 2719 for Van
lrt-tar and 1920 ror Hedlund.
In the First district, with Incom
plete returns from all of the counties
in the district, Fred Hollister of North

more than did Rufus C. Holman. Mr.
Holman polled 1704 more than his

T. M. Hurlburt for sheriff has a
large lead over Archie Leonard, while
in the 288 precincts R. C. Bonser, for
county surveyor, secured only 614 more
votes than did E. A. Middlebrook.
The results of the coroner's race
caused considerable surprise, as Dr.
Sam C. Slocum had counted on secur
ing a large plurality In the outlying
districts. Dr. F. H. Dammasch beat
him out, however, securing 1868 more
votes. Dr. Dammasch attributes his
nomination to his "public morgue"
policy.

nomination for district judge, depart
ment no. 2, was an easy winner over
E. O. Stadter, his nearest competitor.

Andy Weinberger, for canstable, had
no difficulty In securing the nomina
tion, while Charles N. Ryan ran sec
ond, with Fred A. Frlschkorn about

WITHYCOMBE CHOICE
OF REPUBLICANS FOR
OFFICE OF GOVERNOR
Returns Indicate-Crawfofd tr
Be Second in Race; George
Brownell, Oregon City, Last
Dr. James Wlthycombe of Corvallis
is the Republican nominee for gov
ernor. With virtually complete returns In
from Multnomah and partial returns
from the remainder Of the state last
night he was leading the field by a plu
rality of more than 4000 votes over his
nearest rival, Gus C. Moser of Port
land. Moser at the time was 898 votes
ahead of A. M. Crawford, with every
indication that Crawford would pass
him when fuller returns from the out
side counties were received.
Dr. Wlthycombe owes his nomination
to counties outside of Multnomah. In
Multnomah county, Moser polled
strongest of all, but other portions of
the state flocked to the Wlthycombe
and Crawford banners and cut down,
then passed his lead.
Indications are that fuller returns
will continue to pile up the count for
Wlthycombe and Crawford and as
Multnomah's returns are virtually com
pleted, it is believed that Crawford will
outdistance the Portland man and end
the race second to the nominee.
According to returns so far received,
George C. Brownell of Oregon City re
ceived the lightest vote among the
eight Republican candidates for the
gubernatorial nomination.
Unless fuller returns upset calcula
tions the final count will find the can
didates placed In this order: Wlthv-
combe. Crawford Moser, Grant B. Dim
ick, William A. Carter. T. T. Geer.
Charles A. Johns and Georare C.

Last night the returns gave Wlthv-

Carter, 7770; Johns, 6881; Geer 6242:
Brownell, 8754.
Flegel Has Small
Lead on Van Dresar
Congressional Kace Surprisingly Close
With Flegel Only 40 Votes Ahead of
His Opponent.
Although indications are that A. F.
Flegel is the Democratic nominee for
congress In the Third district, th
closeness of the contest between him
and E. L. Van Dresar Is one of the
surprises of Friday's primaries.
With complete returns in from 288
out of 324 precincts of the county, Fle
gel was only 40 votes ahead of Van
Dresar, having 2759 votes to his credit
against Van Dresar"s 2719. E. T. Hed
lund was third with only 1920 checked
up. to his credit.
Before the primaries, It was the con
sensus of opinion among politicians
that Flegel Would secure the nomina
tion without, trouble and for this rea
son Van Dresar's Surprising strength
is causing them to sit up and try to
figure out how It happened.

AMERICA'S WAY IS NOT
THAT OF OTHER NATIONS
Revolutionary Patriots Gave
Lives That U. Si Might
Follow Own Destiny.
(United Preaa Leased Wire.)
Washington, May 16. President
Wilson this afternoon took emphatlo
issue with those critics who, in dis
cussing United States relationship with
Great Britain, see In the Panama canal
tolls repeal bill an "alliance" with that
nation. In tones that swayed a crowd
of 16,000 Irish Americans In attendance
on the unveiling of a monument to
Commodore John Barry of Revolution
ary fame, he emphatically denied the
Implication. He emphasized that those
who touch the nation's honor are the
nation's enemies.
America must live her own life;
must be the justest, the most pro
gressive, the most honorable, the most
enlightened nation In the world," de
clares the president amidst applause.
You need alliance when you axe not
strong," he said again. "You are weak
only when you are afraid to do right.
The president's speech was the chief
feature of the unveiling exercises
which attracted to this city Irish
Americans from every section of the
country. He said:
Bight to Her Own Zdfe.
"John Barry fought like every other
man in the revolution in order that
America might free to make her
own life without interruption or dis
turbance from any quarters. You can
sum the whole thing In that America
had a right to her own self determined
life.
"You don't have to go back to stir
your thoughts again with the issues
of the revolution. Some of the is
sues of the revolution were not the
cause-f-ltr -but merely the occasion
for It. There are just as vital things
stirring now that coneern the exist
ence, of tne nation as were stirring
then, and every man who worthily
stands in this presence should exam
ine himself to see whether he has a
full conception of what it means that
America shall live her own life.
"Washington saw It when ho read
his farewell address. It was not
merely because of passing and tran
sient circumstances that Washington
said that we must keep free from for
eign alliances. It was because he
saw that no country had ever set Its
face in the same direction In which
America had set her face.

London. May 18. It Is extremely
doubtful If any slit skirt will be seen
at the Ascot races this season. Madame
Paquin has led the revolt against the
slit skirt, which, she says, hs become
vulgarized, and she Is now busy creat
ing gowns which, while narrow, give
all the freedom of the slit skirt.
Some of the new skirts have a won
derful arrangement of accordion pleat
ed panels, and are draped In such a
way as to give sufficient fullness at
the feet without having in the least
the appearance of width.
Designs are already being made for
court trains to be worn at the June
courts, and it Is noticeable that even
the most superstitious women nave
succumbed to the erase for peacock
feathers.
The new cone-shaped coiffure Is so
unbecoming that very few women are
adopting it and as feathers must be
worn at court the effect u is generally
considered would be ludicrous.
There Is In fact every sign that fash
ions will be less freakish this season.
