hours dragged along, some showing
heavy majorities for Chamberlain,
some equally good for Furnish, but
all the time it was becoming more
and more evident that the Eastern
Oregon candidate was losing ground
in his own county, and when morn
ing dawned it was conceded that
Chamberlain's majority in Umatilla
county would be anywhere from 200
to 300.
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

State Returns Scattered.
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.

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

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.
