LARGE PLURALITY
FOR JUDGE ELLIS
GOES TO CONHESS WITH
15,000 VOTES TO SPARE.
Said to He the Largest Plurality Ever
Enjoyed by Congressional Candidate
In Oregon Judge Ellis Served Six
Years In Congress From Tills Dis
trict Ills Opiwncnt Practically Un
known In tho District.
One of the finest compliments pal."
to any candidate In the state at the
last election was the heavy vote given
Judge W. R. Ellis of this city, candi
date for congress for the second dis
trict, comprising all of eastern Ore
gon nnd Multnomah county.
Judge Ellis' plurality will exceed
15,000, which Is said to be the largest
plurality ever received by any con
gressional candidate In the state.
The democratic candidate for this
place, James Harvey Graham, was
entirely unknown outside of a nar
row circle of business and social ac
quaintances in Baker county, and did
not make a vigorous campaign. This,
with the fact that Judge Ellis served
six years In congress from this district
and was well known In every precln -t
In the district contributed to the ex
traordinary vote which he received
from all parties.
Judge Ellis highly appreciates the
compliment paid htm In this vote and
expresses freely his desire to serve
his district In such and earnest and
aggressive manner as to fully Justify
his support.
In 1904 J. N. Williamson carried
the district by less than 14,000 over
Simmons, the democratic candidate,
who received 12,770 votes.
