Woodrow Wilson is strongly en
dorsed for president by the democrats
of Umatilla county by a two to one
vote over Champ Clark, while Harmon
was given a negligible vote. Walter
Pierce leads all democratic compe
titors for the senatorial nomination.
For the senatorial nomination Judge
Stephen A. Lowell sweeps Umatilla
county with more than a two to one
vote over Ben Selling and with more
votes to his credit than all opposing
candidates combined.
In the republican congressional race
Judge W. R. EUis is given a substan
tial endorsement in his home county,
but he does not get a majority. Rusk
Is a fairly close second to Ellis with
Cochran and Sinnott trailing along
for third and fourth places, C. E.
Itooseveit bringing up the rear.
For secretary of state Frank Fields
has a slight lead over Ben Olcott, in
the race for railroad commissioner.
Commissioner Aitcheson easily carries
the county, while Mickle Is endorsed
for food and dairy commissioner.
The Lcal Fights.
In the local races Frederick Steiwer
has defeated J. P. Neal for the district
attorneyship by a two to one vote. I.
E. Young has done the same with F.
K. Welles, for the school superintend
ency. Frank Saling is easily renom
inated for clerk, Messrs. Hinkle and
Mann have the republican legislative
nominations by substantial maqjorlties
while In the race for commissioner
the result is close with Horace Walker
sufficiently far in the lead to" assure
his nomination.
The returns as given below cover
the election in all the principal dis
tricts of the county and it is very im
probable that the final returns will
alter the results to any great extent
unless with th possible exception of
the commissioner's race.

Tomorrow afternoon Pendleton

to watch a team picked from the
bunch of material which - Manager
Garrett hns gathered here demon
strate the goods that is within them
against the pirates of Pilot Rock
whose fielding force will be supple
mented by a battery from the local
staff. To make the contest more
equal, Garrett will loan his best
twlrler to the visitors and the Buck
aroo stickers will thus have a dose
of the medicine which they will ad
minister to other teams of the Trl
state league after the opening of the
season.
Garrett has been putting his men
through their paces at a stiff cllpp
for the past few. days despite the In
clemency of the weather and promises
the fans that they will not see an
article of ball devoid of class. Also
he will have his players dolled out
In their new uniforms which display
the famous Round-up slogan "Let 'er

Saturday, April 20, 1912.
To the Republicans of Umatilla Co.:
The primary campaign is ended,
and I desire to thank my friends and
supporters for the magnificent voto
accorded me in this, my home coun
ty. Whatever the result may prove
to be, have no complaint, and
whether in the end I win or lose, the
triumph here over rorceful and un
relenting opposition Is honor enough
for the present. I trust that tha
nominees of yesterday may be victo
rious in November.
If I am defeated this time I shall
become a candidate two years hence,
and have confidence that then I may
demonstrate both that eastern Ore
gon is a part of the commonwealth
and that it is yet possible for a man
of moderate means to be victorious
in a republican senatorial primary.
I am not ready to believe that the
party of Lincoln is irrevokably wedded
to wealth.
Respectfully,
STEPHEN A. LOWELL.
