LOOKS LIKE EEER
FOR GOVERNOR AND NATOR
Withycombe is Second for Governor and Bourne Second for
Senator, With Lowell Third for Latter Place.
Shepherd Will Carry Multnomah County, With Chances WWi Ellis In the
District Bean Will Be Nominated for Circuit Judge Judge Lowell
Carries I'niaillla and Morrow, With Prospects for Gains as tlie Vote U
Counted Bourne Carried Union and Is Neck and Neck With Cake In
Baker Kirk and Iroebstel Close for State Senator,
Portland, April 21. (Special to
the East Oregonlan.) Partial returns
from Multnomah county show that T.
T. Gcer is in the lead for the repub
lican, nomination for governor with
Withycombe second.
Johns Is clearly out of the running,
taking third place. In the senatorial
contest Cake holds a decisive lead
over Bourne for the nomination, with
Lowell third. Bourne Is making a
better showing outside.
Benson and Gatch are running
neck and neck In the race for secre
tary of state, voting in outside coun
ties will probably decide result.
Hoyt has distanced all competitors
for the republican . nomination for
state, treasurer in this county, but re
ports from southern Oregon show that
in that part of the state he is far be
hind. Hoyt's plurality in this coun
ty promises, however, to be large
enough to overcome Carter's vote in
the remainder of the state. Steel is
not in the fight as far as Multnomah
county Is concerned.
. Willis Dunlway has an. overwhelm
ing plurality for state printer and Is
clearly the party nominee.
Tom Word won signal victory over
Malley in the contest for democratic
nomination for sheriff. Word's ma
jority is at least 3 to 1. In one east
side precinct Word received 40 out
of 41 votes cast.
The struggle for the republican
nomination for sheriff has developed
some surprise. Nate Bird has shown
unexpected strength in many east side
precincts, where he leads Stevens by
a decisive plurality. Stevens is
stronger on the west side.
County Judge Webster haa been re
nominated by a large plurality.
The congressional contest furnished
some surprises. Lachner received a
much heavier vote in this county than
was expected. In a numDer of pre
cincts he leads Ellis. Shepherd has
probably a plurality in the county,
but the returns from outside counties
Is as yet very meager and are ex
pected to put Ellis to the fore.
Complete returns of 23 out of 90
precincts at 2 o'clock give the follow
Ing republican vote:
Geer. 1012; Withycombe, 61";
Cake, 1086;' Bourne, 628; Gatch, 1,
059; Benson, 1033. Sheriff Ste
vens, 927; Bird. 630; Storey. 320. The
result of the legislative contests still
in doubt, though A. A. Bailey appears
to lead for Joint senator.
Returns Coining Slowly.
Portland, April 21. Incomplete re.
turns show "nip and tuck" races tir
the republican nomination between
Bourne and Cake for senator, and
Geer and Withycombe for governor.
It Is impossible until complete re
turns are In to tell who Is victor. El
lis Is probably nominated for congress
In the Second district; Hawley in the
First.
Sixty-six precincts out of 9(1 in
Multnomah county give Bourne, 1509;
Cake, 2679; Lowell, 863; Smith, 641;
Watson. 757. Brown, 762; Geer, 2,-
624; Johns, 1172; Sehlbrede, 202;
Withycombe, 1581.
A majority of the country precincts
show gains for Bourne, which may
overcome Cake's lead.
Bourne carries Wasco as does
Smith. Withycombe carries Linn as
does Cake. Bourne and Withycombe
carry Benton. Geer and Bourne ear
ly Josephine. Lowell carries Morrow
as does Geer. Bourne and Gcer car
ry Clatsop and J.iekson. Withycombe
carries Baker, as does Brown.
Broun Carries Baker County.
A special report received this af-
trnoon from Baker county shows
Brown 36 votes ahead of Johns in the
county and six votes ahead In Baker
City. Withycombe and Geer each re
celved a nominal vote. For senator
Cake led Bourne by seven votes with
Lowell third. Rand received an
enormous vote for congressman, the
others being practically out of the
race.
Shutt Wins In Morrow.
Reports received this afternoon
from Morrow county show that Shutt
has been renominated for sheriff by
a large majority. Walter Hill is sue
cessful for clerk, while Bean carried
the county for circuit Judge. Judge
Lowell carried the county for sena
tor by a good vote.
Ellis Wbis In Union.
Private advices received from Union
county show Bourne In the lead for
senator, and Geer leads for gover
nor. Judge Ellis leads for congress
man by a majority of 188 and also

. Umatilla County Summary.
From the returns that have been re
ceived from Umatilla county up to this)
afternoon the following is shown;
Lowell has carried the county by a
large vote over the other senatorial
aspirants. Judge Ellis haa also been
given a handsome vote for congress
man, the other candidates getting but
a handful. W. S. Dunlway, for state
printer, has carried the county by an
overwhelming majority, while the
votes on treasurer have been well di
vided. For circuit judge H. J. Bean haJ
doubtless been nominated. Return!
from this county give him a good lead
and reports from Morrow show him
ahead with Collier second there.
For sheriff, E. J. Sommerville haa
been nominated by nearly a three to
one vote.
F. W. Hendley is doubtless tha
nominee for recorder as he has what
Is considered a sure lead In the pre
cincts heard from.
For state senator Proebstel and Kirk
are 'running close and the contest la
still In doubt.
Private returns received by C. A.
Barrett from all but four small prs
clncts show the vote on representative
to be as follows: Barrett, 666; Houaer,
521, and Steen, 593.
For treasurer, Bradley has a safe
majority In the precincts heard from
and will doubtless be chosen. '
The delay in receiving the return
is occasioned by the fact that In many
cases the tally sheets were locked In'
side the ballot boxes contrary to In'
structlons. According to the law,
these boxes cannot be opened until
all have arrived and a special order
Is secured from the county court
Consequently the tally sheets could
not be secured during the day and but
few of these bringing In the boxes had
private tallies. i "
The following is the complete count
from 23 of the 40 precincts of the
county and represents most of the vote
