Errors in Totals Reduce
OJwtt's Lead Ballot
Box Found Opened
With Ballots Missing.
By Harry Crane
Portland, Aug. 8. Chas. Hall
jecured a net gain of four votes
In the recount of 18 Multnomah
aunty precincts this morning,
principally by reason of a mis
tsli of five votes in. the totals'
compiled by the election board
of one precinct and a gain of
three In another precinct by reas-
mi of missing ballots originally
Hunted for Olcott.
Thirty four errors were detect
id In the 18 precincts and in onl; ;
(our precincts were the return
olthe election boards' correct. '
An error of the election board
In totaling up their tally sheet
in precinct 279 gave Hall a gain
of five. ' r
Ballot Box Unsealed
Considered in the light of the
courts previous rulings, on the
Question of defects In Improperly
sealed ballot boxes, the gain of
three counted for Hall this morn
ing In precinct 266 and, protest
ed by attorneys for Olcott, will
pTobamy be thrown out.
The ballot box as well as the
ballots were unsealed when the
box was produced and there were
four fewer ballots In the box than
were listed on the poll book re
turned by the precinct officials.
While the court postponed ren
dering a decision on the protest
under a previous ruling it will
be necessary for the Hall force to
prove that the ballot box had not
been tampered with and that the
results of the election board were
in error.
j On the face of this morning's
result Olcott has a net gain of one
In the stae by reason of the re
count as far as it has proceeded.
Seven . more precincts of the
original -135 cited by Hall's at
torneys for recount in Multnomah
county remained to be checked
P and between 15 and 20 addi
tional precincts will be counted
by stipulation this, afternoon.
Recount of Clatsop ballots will
Be commenced here tomorrow
morning. -

Two reasons are advanced for

Reckless and Violent Work of Irresponsible Bands, Using?
Klan Regulia and Methods Threw Order Into Disrepute
and President Issued Proclamation and Used Troops To
Suppress Lawlessness Becoming Rampant
By HENRY P. FRY,
(Copyright 1922 by Small, Maynard & Co.; Published by arrange
ment with author and publisher.)
The fact that the whole
of the bitterest of partisan" politics make3 it necessary to
discount to a large degree the statements of both sides of
the controversy. It has been told by some that the original
Ku Klux Klan enforced its decrees and maintained law and
order, not so much by the overt acts it committed but by
reasqn of the vague fear and surmises on the part of the
negro and carpetbagger as to what the Klan could do.
Whether one looks upon the methods of the Ku Klux
Klan as wise and humane or as rough and cruel, the fact
remains that its work was accomplished, and state govern
ments under carpetbag control, negro militia, acts of Con
gress and proclamations of the President though backed
by the army of the United States, made but little headway
against the silent force of white men which was making a
last, desperate stand for all

The devices and disguises by
which the Klan deceived outsid

the Klan itself. It placed in the
hands of its own members the fa
cility to do deeds ot violence for
the gratification of personal feel
