The first 28 precincts heard from out , of the 35 in this county, gave Chamberlain a plurality of 276 over Furnish, and while it was believed that the remaining seven precincts might cut this down somewhat it was seen that they could not change the ultimate result. The precincts heard from up to the hour of going to press and their respective votes for the two leading gubernatorial candidates are as fol lows: Cham-. Furn berlain. nish. P'lty.

As yet the returns from other coun ties on the state ticket are but frag mentary, owing to the length of the ticket and the long time required to make the count. Another cause of de-' lay in getting complete returns Ib that many of those who are interest ed in some particular candidate are sending in only the figures regarding their favorite and omitting any refer ence to the other candidates. Consequently it is impossible to give any accurate figures . regarding the vote in the different counties at this time. By tomorrow evening, however, practically full returns should be available. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the lat est figures available at democratic headquarters gave Chamberlain the state by" 4000 majority and Multno mah county by 1500. Raley May Be Elected. The latest returns from different parts of the state, taken with the splendid vote given J. H. Raley, the democratic candidate for attorney- general, In Umatilla county, wherein he receives a majority of 750 votes over his republican opponent, gives good grounds for hope of the election of Mr. Raley. J. H. Robblns Wine. Sumpter, Or., June 3. J. H. Rob blns, formerly of Pendleton, candidate for representative on the democratic ticket, is 28 votes ahead of George Chandler, his republican opponent, with two or three precincts to hear from, which will increase Mr. Rob bins' plurality to about 50. Initiative and Referendum. Tim votfi' for the initiative and re ferendum in Umatilla county is fa- foraole.

HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT IT. Short Interviews With Prominent Pendleton Politicians. The East Oregoniau man circulat ed among a few of the politicians this morning and got the following expressions of the situation since the election In answer to tho question: "How do you feel over the election returns?" Frank Curl. Frank Curl, republican county cen tral committeeman, and who said in the East Oregoniau a few days pre vious to the election that he would not concede a single man to the dem ocrats, only replied:, "I never felt better or had less." A. D. Stillman. A. D. Stillman, democratic central committeeman, was the next man seen, and as A. D. is a man who talks as well as acts, he had the fol lowing to say: exception every democratic canilitlnto i reduced tho normal republican ma jority in the county and stnlo. "As a wholo, tho affairs of tho state and county will bo in excellent hands until the noxt general election." L. B. Rceder. "The result of tho election was duo to ninny reasons. The dlsnffocted Si mon and Geer forces and tho Mitchell faction worked against tho republi can ticket. Another thing was tho placing of tho most corrupt man in the state of Oregon in tho chair ns chairman of the republican stale cen tral committee ami the carrying of the convention in Multnomah county fcy misrepresentation and jobbery. There was a lack of organization li om a party standpoint nnd tho ef fort of the chairman of the central cnaimlttec to make sure of the .elec tion of Ills friends worked to tho det riment of tho party as a whole. Tho Impression also went over tho coun try that Furnish carried the conven- I tlon by unfair means and this was greatly exaggerated. Many thought, i too. that Furnish was too new In tho Wnnn, 1069; Crawford, 11G4; Raloy, 912; Godfrey, 973; Wimnoy, 105G; Tongue, ll-o; Wcntherford, 90G; Gcer, 1142; Wood, S53; Jones, repub lican, 1092; Simpson, democrat, 921; llutlor, dnmocrat, SS6; Hawkins, re publican, 1138. HOW T0RAS WUKG SIGNED HON. GEORGE E "HAM3ERLAIN.. Elected Governor of Oregon, on June 2d, 1902, by the Democrats of Ore gon, Materially Assisted by the HcpuLilicans of the 8tato. "The present victory is sweeping and one of the best things that could have happened to tho state. It Is not necessary that It be construed as a condemnation of Mr. Furnish, nor of the men on the ropuM ' ' hut rather a condemnation and ex ample in no uncertain terms, of the methods used to control the republi can party. "It is a fact worthy of note that the candidates on the republican ticket' who were defeated were the candi dates who spent the greatest number of dollars to secure their elctlon. "As an indication of the general; excellence of tho democratic ticket it is only worthy of note that1 without j nartv to ho a leader and tho results will bo disastrous to tho party for years to romo unless tho republicans of the county see fit to place tho prin cipal of tho party above tho personal laadership, and cease taking sides with factions of Multnomah county and its corrupt practices." S. A. Lowell. Judge Lowell said: "Tho people have snoken and I have nothing to add." The Oregon Short Lino will spond between ?300,000 and $100,000 In track betterments this year, over and nbo-.e tho usual maintenance work. STATE RETURNS. How the Vote Went In Various Parts of Oregon.
