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. However, the official count
will bM commence until -this evening,
as R B. Iflchnrdo, Justice at Athena,
who ! to arrtat, .cannot arrive until
4:39. The count will be made by
County Clerk baling. 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.

SENATOR BORAH OF IDAHO
FLAYS ORCHARD AND ANARCHISTS.
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, 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.
