Portlnnd, Ore., Nov. 8. The rain
In western and southern Oregon slack
ened considerably today and both
parties claim an Increase In the
chancel for their candidates. In
outhern Oregon the voting la brisk
and nearly 30 per cent of the total
vote was cast before 10:30. A fair
vote is anticipated on account of the
Issues which have stirred the people.
Betting is lively at seven to ten In
Bowerman's favor with only a little
West money In sight.
New York.
New Tork, Nov. 8. Despite the
snowfall, voters arrived early today
and It Is predicted there will be he
heaviest polling In New York's his
tory. Roosevelt announced Stlmson's
majority will be 15,060, while the
democrats still claim Dlx will carry
the state by 100.000. Dlx Is the fa
vorite In the betting.
Though the Interest Is keen, the
betting was exceptionally light In
Wall street and It was ascertained that
not over a total of 1300,000 has been
wagered. Such beta as were made
were two and three to one, with Dlx
the favorite over 8tlmson. Even
money could be had that Dlx will car
ry the state by fifty thousand. Fol
lowers of StlmsoB look for a close
race
Roosevelt Tote.
Oyster Bay, Nov. 8. Colonel
Roosevelt, Kermlt and the employes
of the Roosevelt estate voted early
today. Roosevelt took Just thirty
seconds.
Nebraska.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 8. After hav
ing been treated to a spectacular cam
paign, Nebraska voters will today de
ride between James C. Dahlman,
Omaha's cowboy mayor and a demo
crat, and C. W. Aldrlch, republican,
for the governorship. Dahlman
stands on a liquor license platform, as
opposed -to the local option program
Injected into the campaign by W. J.
Bryan. If the "cowboy" candidate
Is successful, his adherents claim he
will carry with him two congressional
districts now represented by republi
cans. The legislature elected today
will elect a United States senator to
succeed E. J. Burkett, republican.
New Hampshire.
Manchester, N. H.. Nov. 8. Al
though domorcata are today declar
ing that New Hampshire will follow
Maine, preliminary reports make It
appear that Robert P. Bass, republi
can gubernatorial nominee, has a safe
margin over C. E. Carr, democrat
Both congressional districts are ap
parently safe, although the majority
of Representative Sulloway will like
ly be much reduced.
New Jersey.
Newark, N. P., Nov. 8. Victory for
Vivian M. Lewis, republican candi
date for governor, by 20,000, and for
Dr. Woodrow Wilson, former Prince
ton president and democratic guber
natorial nominee, by an even greater
majority, are the conflicting claims
made by political leaders this after
noon. In the fifth, seventh and
eighth districts, now republican, the
fight Is waging fast and furious. In
the seventh E. W. Townsend, author
of "Chlmmle Fadden," Is opposing
Representative Parker, republican.
California.
San Francisco, Nov. 8. Hiram W.
John Ron, who heads the' victorious
republican Insurgency of the Golden

nominee, has made a good fight and
his adherents continue hopeful. Cali
fornia insurgency is confined to the
overthrow of .tho so-called "Southern
Pacific machine," which it is alleged,
has long controlled the party, and
does not much affect the congres
sional fight. California's eight repre
sentatives are now republican, but the
democrats have made a strong battle
against Englebrlght. of the First, and
Kahn, of the Fourth districts.
Colorado.
Denver, Colo.. Nov. One of the
closest political battles in years Is be
ing waged in Colorado today. Gov,
John F. Shafroth. democrat, Is op
posed for re-election by John B.
Stephen, and both are claiming certain
victory this afternoon. Colorado's
representation In the lower house of
congress Is now democratic, but a
complete overturn Is considered pos
sible, although hardly probable.
Connecticut.
Hartford, Conn., Nov. 8. Early re
turns from today's election leave the
issue In doubt, but with a chance that
the Nutmeg state may follow Maine
Into the democratic column. A heavy
slump In the republican vote was evi
dent early today. Charles A. Good
win la the republican candidate for
governor, and Judge Simeon B.
Baldwin, a Jurist of prominence, the
democratic leader. Four of the five
congressional districts are entirely re
publican, but the Second, composed
of New Haven and Middlesex coun
ties, Is the scene of a pitched battle,
with the odds only slightly favoring
the republican nominee, Col. Andrew
Shepard, who Is opposed by Mayor
Thomas L. Riley of Morlden.
Idaho.
Boise. Ida,, Nov. 8. Indications
point to republican success In today's
election, both for governor and rep
resentative. The liquor question has
been one of the principal Issues of
the campaign, both parties being di
vided between adherents of local op
tion and statewide prohibition.
Illinois.
Chicago, Nov. 8. Indications are
that the Chicago vote today will be
the largest ever cast In an off year,
although falling below the total of
two years ago. Managers of the
stAte congressional campaign natural
ly make varying claims today, the
democrats asserting that their repre
sentation will be Increased from six
to eight, while the republicans allege
that all the present republican dis
tricts are safe and that the fourth,
fifth and twenty-third districts, now
democratic, may be captured by the
O. O. P. Reports from Speaker
Cannon's district, tho eighteenth, say
that a heavy vote Is belngcast and
that "Uncle Joe" will have a larger
plurality than two years ago, when
he carried the Danville district by ov
er 7000.
Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 8. Hoosler
voters got Into the game with a vim
this morning and the prospects are
that a big vote wll be rolled up. The
legislature Is the bone of contention,
since It will dectde whether Senator
Beverldge will continue to wear a
toga or be succeeded by John W.
Kern, the democratic aspirant for a
seat In the United States senate. In
diana now has eleven democrats and
two republicans In the lower house
of congress. The personal popularity
of Beverldge may not only carry the
legislature, but swing two or three
of the democratic districts Into the
republican column. Both democratic
and republican leaders declare today
that victory Is certain.
Wisconsin.
Milwaukee, Wis., Nov. 8. A state
ticket, eleven congressmen and a
complete legislature, except for six
teen hold-over senators, are being
voted on In Wisconsin today. The re
publican state ticket Is headed by
Francis B. McGovern for governor,
with a platform perhaps the most
radical that has been formulated by
a republican convention In a score of
years. Through the Influence of
Senator LaFollette the convention
condemned the tariff bill, and went
on record as favoring the Initiative,

Haskell Issued orders today for com
pany M of the slate militia, to pre
pare for a hasty trip to Guthrie where
the 'negroes, disfranchised by "the
grandfather clause." had begun to
gather in unruly crowds about the
voting booths. The weather Is fine
and the voting is heavy. Haskell said
there had been no rlol3 but he wasn't
tuking chances.
The trouble with tho negroes Is
general over the state and Is the re
sult of the adoption of "the grand
father clause" which disfranchised
those whose grandfathers were Inel
igible to vote or who cannot read or
write. The amendment was aimed at
the neero vote which Is large and at
the Indians and half breeds. When the
supreme court upheld the amendment
a month ago. It was declared that the
move was a political one for the bene
fit of the flemocrats. The republicans
charged that the disfranchisement as
sured the demoratic control of the
state. The negroes have been hold
ing meetings, protesting and declar
ing the act outrageous.
Negroes Seize Polls.
Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 8. When
white election officers in the Fussy

negroes from voting today, the ne
groes, outnumbering the whites ten
to one, took possession of the polls.
In response to appeals, automobiles
loaded with armed men are being
rushed to the scene from Coweta and
trouble Is expected. The negroes were
disfranchised under the "grandfather
clause."
TO INVESTIGATE CHIXESE
IMMIGRATION QUESTION
Ottawa, Ont., Nov. 8. As a result
of the Inquiries made at the depart
ment of trade and commerce, It was
learned today that the whole question
of Chinese immigration into Canada
will be taken up by the royal com
mission and that Chinese smuggling
frauds will be probed and scores of
Chinese now detained will be deport
ed because they have failed to estab
lish their status as Chinese mer
chants. KILLSGI RL WHO WOULD

CRIPPEH IS ALIVE
Chicago, Nov. 8. "Positive Infor
mation" that Mrs. Crlppen is alive
near Chicago continues to mystify the
police although they believe the of
fers to produce her in flesh are hoax
es. Attorney Robert Cantwell and
Jack Curley, the wrestling promoter,
told the police today they located the
woman near this city and that she is
suffering from a mental defect. They
declared that Attorney Tobln, broth
er of the Barrister who defended Dr.
Crlppen In London, has four affidav
its to prove that the woman is really
tho wife of Crlppen for whose mur

MUCK INTEREST ITOEESTED IN THE ELECTION
Voting Begins Early and Continues Busily Throughout the
Entire Day.
Believed 1200 Votes Will be Cast in This City Much Time Consumed In
Voting Because of Length of Ballots Average of 17 Minutes In East
Pendleton Final Returns From City Will Xot be Received Before
Tomorrow Morning South Pendleton IoIl8 Highest Votes.
A phenomenal vote is being polled D. Rockefeller, who is running for
in Pendleton today. At time of go- j congress In the sixth district against
Ing to press indications point to a vote I. D. Toung, progressive. The re
in each of the four precincts in ex- maining five districts are almost cer
cess of the registration. It is there- tainly republican. D. R. Anthony of
fore believed that the vote for the Leavenworth, and P. P. Campbell of
entire city will be nearly or quite 1200.
Less than 1100 vcftes were cast in
the city two years ago.
The voting started as soon as the
polls were opened in each of the pre
cincts and there has not been a
breathing spell since that time. At
times there have been as many as 15
people marking heir ballots at a single
polling place.
Apparently it was fortunate that
the voting was started early for a
great length of time is being consum
ed in the balloting. One man who
went into the booth with a card con
taining the numbers he desired to
vote and who did not waste any time
whatever consumed five minutes.
Men who had studied the ballot
carefully before hand and knew Just
how they desired to vote required on
an average of ten minutes, while some
voters were In the booth for as long
as 30 minutes. The average in East
Pendleton for the forenoon was 17
minutes to the ballot
That election boards in the larger
precincts will be kept busy all night
is also apparent. It is estimated that
at least two minutes will be required
to count each ballot. Therefore In a
precinct with 300 voters it would re
quire exactly ten hours of continu
ous work to count the votes.
In Pendleton, the election board
in the South precinct will have the
longest task. There are 311 regis
tered voters there and it is estimated
that the total vote cast will be ap
proximately 325, possibly more. At
2:45, 260 votes had been cost in that
precinct and there was a crowd of
voters waiting for an opportunity to
cast their ballot.
In North Pendleton 175 votes had
been cast when the polls were closed
for lunch. The registration In the
precinct Is 299.
In Pendleton precinct with a reg
istration of 303, 154 ballots had been
cast when the polls were closed for
lunch and in East Pendleton with a
registration of only 199, practically
the same number of votes had been
cast as In each of the other precincts.
The polls will remain open until
7 o'clock and from present appear
ances it will be nearly 8 o'clock be
fore the last ballot Is placed in the
box. The election officers will then
go for the evening meal and It will
probably be 8:30 or later before the
count will be started in the Pendleton
precinct. It will thus be seen that
the count cannot be completed before
6 o'clock tomorrow and some esti
mates place it as late as 12 o'clock.
It is estimated that the rain has
had the effect of increasing the vote
in the country precincts and it Is
therefore expected that the vote for
the entire county will be phenomenal.
Tennessee.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 8. United
States Senator Robert L. Taylor will
probably be the next governor of
Tennessee, succeeding Governor Mal
colm R. Patterson, who was forced to
retire from the contest for re-election
by opposition In the democratic ranks.
Capt. B. W. Hopper, the republican
gubernatorial candidate, received the
indorsement of the anti-Patterson
democrats and at one time appeared
to be almost certain of victory, but
the personal popularity of Senator
Tayolrhas greatly reduced Hoppers
chances of election. The congression
al representation of the state will
iiKeiy remain as at present, with two
republicans and eight democrats In
the lower house at Washington.
Iowa.
Des Moines. Ia., Nov. 8. The elec
tion of Governor B. F. Carroll for
another term and of certainly nine
and probably all eleven congressmen
Is claimed by republican campaign
managers this afternoon. Little in
terest has been manifested In the
campaign and the total vote Is likely
to be comparatively light. The dem
ocrats are claiming the election of
Claude R. Porter, gubernatorial nom
inee, by from 20,000 to 80,000 ma
jority, and the success of democratic
candidates in at least three congres
sional districts.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 8 Democrati
this afternoon claim the election of
F. C. Rockefeller, a cousin of John
T
Pittsburg, both representing indus
trial and mining districts, are the
only republican "standpatters" run
ning for re-election, all of the agri
cultural districts having chosen pro
gressive republican candidates. Gov
ernor Walter R. Stubbs, a leading
insurgent, is certain of re-election.
Kentucky.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 8. Kentucky's
present representation In the house is
J composed of eight democrats and
three republicans, and It Is likely
that this will be maintained by to
day's election. The republicans are
claiming jtwo additional districts,
while the democratic leaders assert
that they will gain one. Caleb Pow
ers, who was tried three times tor
the murder of Governor Gobel, la
the republican nominee for congrese
in the eleventh district, and is prac
tically certain of going to Washing
ton. Louisiana.
New Orleans, Nov. 8. Election day
in Louisiana Is passing quietly. The
democratic candidates In all seven
districts will be elected without im
portant opposition. The voters will
today pass on a bond measure pro
viding for an issue of 15, 500,000 for
the proposed Panama exposition.
Maryland.
Baltimore, Nov. 8. Early returns
Indicate a very close contest In the
fifth and sixth districts, now held by
the republicans. The first second)
and fourth districts appear to be
safely democratic. The third district
in the city of Baltimore, carried two
years ago by John Kronmiller, repub
lican, by a plurality of 262, is In
doubt.
Alabama.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 8. With
the the republican party split into
two warring factions, Alabama dem
ocrats will, as usual, have a walk
over today. Emmet O'Neal, demo
ratic candidate for governor is oppos
ed by J. O. Thompson, regular Taft
republican, and Charles Scott insur
gent or Roosevelt republican. The
democrats will probably carry all nine
congressional districts, although there
is a possibility of republican success

gubernatorial election having already

districts of the state are safely demo

Wheeling, W. Va.. Nov. 8. Of the
five congressional districts of this
state, now all republican, four are
placed In the doubtful list by political
wiseacres, and this opinion seems to
be confirmed by the reports that are
coming in from over the state. The
republicans claim all five districts.
