BENTON C01NTY ELECTION
County Goes Democratic Local
Option Wins by 380.
Election day in Corvallis was
one of the quietest in the history
of the city.
The total poll was 1982 votes,
. it. 11
a little less man tne pon two
years ago and a little larger than
the registration. Quite a num
ber of those who failed to regis
ter were hustled out by enthu
siastic candidates and qualified
to vote.
The issues of the whole cam
paign in Benton county were not
sufficiently marked t create any
very great degree of enthusiasm.
The main interest of the day
centered about the offices of state
senator and county clerk. This
was partly because of the im
portance of the offices; partly the
personal qualities of the candi
dates and partly because the
Republican forces had the besi
chance to win the clerkship and
the hardest fight to make to hold
the state - senator. Both offices
were lost to the Republicans
however, the clerkship by a ma
jority of 8, the senator by a ma
jority of 59.
In the county election the total
number of votes cast for all nom
nees was i;.qo8. of this number
8,071 were cast by Republicans,
a majority in the county of 134.
This shows that there were a
large number of Republicans
who voted with the Democrats.
Party lines were not distinctly
drawn at any time during the
day. A little better campaign
ing on the part of the Republi
cans would have won these two
important offices to their , side.
As it stands, with the state sen
ator lost they hold one less office
in the county than before. The
Democrats made their hardest
fight on the senatorshio, sacrific-
insr the younger men on the
ticket and failing to nominate a
representative that they might
secure as many Prohibition votes
as possible on a trade.
Of the 115 who voted for the
Prohibition representative at
Philomath, only 42 voted the
straight Prohibition ticket. This
may be accounted for, however,
on the ground that Democrats
preferred to cast their votes with
the Prohibitionitss rather than
with the Republicans.
Men of all parties, however,
scratched their tickets most un
mercifully. This was true all
over the county and is accounted
for on the ground of personal
friendships existing between can
didates and voters, also the lack
of unity and skilled leadership
in the oartv organization.
The Prohibitionists and So-1
cialists did not vote straight
tickets. The Socialists had no
coun ty ticket and voted therefore
with theRepublicans. The Pro
hibitionists as the table indicates,
after voting for some particular
candidate went with the Demo
crats. Several of their candi
dates in some precincts did not
receive a single vote. For con
gress, justice of supreme court
and -food commissioner, party i
lines were fairly well observed.
A good majority of one third was
given to local option yet the
voters were pretty badly mixed
in their understanding of what the
proposition really meant. The

same was also true of the amend
m. J J! i . . . -
ment ana airect primary elections l
law. Deriman, Republican coun
ty school superintendent, re
ceived the largest majority of
of any of the candidates, 551, ex
cepting Carter for representative,
who virtually had no opponent.
Denman's victory was the re
sult of a well deserved popular
ity, the Democrats making no
fight on the office whatever, be
ing glad to sacrifice Pratt instead
of one of their own men.
Vincent received the next
largest majority, 337. This s
also the result of a fine personal
ity and a good record to back it
it up. The best majorities are
all made by Republicans and this
because of the personal qualities
of the men themselves. At no
time during election day did the
Democrats feel sure of anything:
with perhaps the exception of
sheriff, vet everyone concedes
that Cameron ran well

Moses in his favof but Philomath
which gave Vincent 146 Repub
lican votes put Scott off with 113
votes, and Scott is just as good
a man as Vincent. Scott ran
well, however, and has made,
many friends who will be glad to
see him run again .
There was a great deal f inde
pendent voting, in fact it is the
independent vote that is largely
responsible for the chaos thaH
now prevails. We are inclined
to believe that in many instances
voters allowed their independence
to get the better of their judg
ment. They thought they were
all wrong. But Benton county
is still Republican, as the record
indicates, if the Democrats do
hold the majority of the offices.
The Democrats won by virtue of
a superior party machine and not
principle. In fact, the Demo
crats hold the majority of offices
only by virtue of their ability to
control the small vascillating in
depent vote. What Republicans
need to do is to see that on future
better educative
the vote where it
process keeps
really belongs.
