While Ute oomplo4c 'returns from the primary eledtlon of last Friday have net been received as yet, suf ficient Information hi now at hand to warrant the assertion that H.-M. Cake Is the nominee of 'the republicans for United State senator By a majority Of from 5000 to 3500 and that Con gresrenan Ellis Is aho renominated by a plurality ranging above "2000 votes. Tbemall cauntlcsyet'to hear from will not change the result In either case nnd all that remains now Is to anneunco definitely the exact figures whim the reports Bhall liave been made. Shepherd Is second and Oeer third In the congressional 'race. From the returns now In It appear that thi. next legislature will have a majority of statement No. 1 members. In Multnomah county H out of 18 candidates are for Statement No. 1, the victory being greater than Its most ardent admirers expected In that county, while throughout the state the statement No. 1 sentiment has carried in a large number of counties. Ceniplete returns are not at hand at this time and the exact results cannot be given. Perhaps the greatest surprise In the senatorial race was the victory of H. M. Cake In Umatilla county, which had been considered the strongest FnTton county In the state outside of Clatsop, his homo county. It Is evi dent that Cake will carry the county by a mnll margin, although the exact official returns are not yet known. He bIko carried Baker county, an other county which was considered strong for Fulton owing to his stand for the federal building and federal district headquarters at Baker City. Cake will carry that county by about 250 rotes. I'nuUlUa .County Hotiinm. At the county clerk's office the last of the ballot boxes were received thl morning.

Justice Joe Parke, and JuhIIcc Richards. To eXXIdally canvass the vote will require about fix hours work and the task may be completed tonight unless unforsecn delays occur. Since Saturday aiternoon there has been practically .no change with re spect to the vote In this county. The later returns we all from small pre cincts and they did .not materially af fect the result. On the legislative ticket a summary of 32 precincts give Mann 847, Bar rett S36 and Pteen 704, thereby assur ing the nomination of Mann and Bar rett, but leaving It nnocrtatn as to whether, or not Mann or Barrett will lead the race. More complete returns also strengthen Ellis' lead over Gecr In this' county and the final figures will show that he won from the ex-governor In this county by nearly a four to one vote. . In the two Weston precincts it was claimed that Oeer would run strong, but in Weston precinct he received but two votes to 17 for Ellis, while In East Weston Ellis won by a vote of 18 to 12. None of the precincts yet heard from show a majority for Geer. Grangevllle. Idaho, is to have a 12 o'clock closing hour for saloons and billiard halls. PETER FEE Potor H.

Washington, April 20. Borah, of Idaho, In his maiden speech In the senate this afternoon, defenJed Roosevelt's Brownsville action, holding the rioting negro troops to be a part of the growth of anar- chlsts In the United States. He said In part: "Riot and murder are largely thlnga born of mistakes of government and pride in a coun- try which compromise and sentimentalizes over crime. A cold- blooded, Inhuman incarnate devil blowa to pieces the ex-governor on the 'doorsteps of his, home, is caught, confesses and before the grave of the man dying a martyr for law and order Is green, sentl- mentallam puts a halo upon the brow of the blackest spirit that ever escaped the crypts of hell. "In these times when riot la preached as a tenet of party organ- Izatlon, I say to find this spirit of lawlessness, this appetite of crime 4 In the army Is startling beyond words to express." He said, certain members of the 25th Infantry were guilty of "murder, planned, deliberate and accomplished with deadly precis- Ion."

CAKE EXPRESSES DELIGHT AT THE RESULT Campaign for Republican Senatorial Candidate Was Conducted Upon a High Plane X'o Mnd Slinging 1 Methods Anywhere - Says High . orney R j Slater cf thu ,g Sentiment Will Characterize the pending Mr. Deal. The case was Campaign for the General Election. 'called by Judge Bean at 9 o'clock this morning and the forenoon was Perhaps the happiest man in thejspent ,n sejuring a Jury. of Portland, who Is In the city on n I business trip. Mr. Cake managed the campaign for his brother, H. M. ! Cake, who has Just been selected by the people of Oregon as a candidate for United States senator and while the candidate himself Is highly elated over the success of the campangn, it Is needless to say that W. M. Cake, who bore the brunt of the details of the campaign Is supremely happy. ' The campaign of H. M. Cake was conducted upon a high plane and he won the nomination by persistently advocating a measure which Is dear to the hearts of the people of Oregon the popular election of senator! and to the hard work and watchful care of W. M. Cake who had charge of the campaign In Portland Is due a large part of the victory. To the East Oregonian Mr. Cake said today that everything possible had been done both by himself and brother to conduct the campaign on principle, leaving mudsllnging, fac tional quarrel and local friction en tirely out of the matter. That they have succeeded admir ably In this high object Is apparent from the result of the primary elec tion, as the selection of Mr. Cake as the republican nominee for the sen ate has been accomplished by an earnest and honest appeal to the peo ple on principle and that at no place In the state can It be charged that any questionable-method has been employed to secure this result. Now that H. M. Cake Is the repub lican nominee, having won that dis tinguished honor at the hands of the republican voters of the state, the campaign for the general election will be conducted upon the same high plane, and there Is every reason to be lieve that he will be elected United States senator by an Immense vote on the first day of June. When a girl goes back on a fellow It Is generally because he Is mtss- understood.
