Republican Congressmen.
W. C. Hawley and A. W. Lafferty,
republicans, were elected to congress
in the First and Second districts re
spectively. Hawley has deleated his
democratic opponent, Robert Smith,
by 6,000, and Lafferty has deleated
John Manning, democrat, by 8.U0U.
W. R. King and W. Slater, non-po
litical democratic candidates for tne
supreme court, were defeated hope
lessiy in every county.
The legislature will be strongly re
publican, although there will be a
scattering of democrats in both the
branches. The organization of the
senate and house will be In the bands
of the republicans.
Unofficial election returns indicate
conclusively the defeat of two of the
U'Hen measures, and the probable de
feat of tne other two. The two U'Hen
measures certainly defeated are ue
official gazette bill and proportional
representation. The two in doubt are
the biU'providlng for primary election
of delegates to national conventions
and the " constitutional amendment
providing for verdicts by tbree-iourths
of the jury in civil cases.
Tax Amendments All Lose.
All three of the proposed tax
amendments to the constitution have
been defeated, according to the in
complete returns. - The initiative
amendment giving each county the
right to regulate taxation within its
borders received a larger vote than
did either of the amendments pro
posed by the legislature.
The county bill, providing a local
method for creating new counties is
defeated. The vote Indicates that the
total majority against the bill will be
about 4S0O.

TWO SPECIAL TRAINS
JCCi CCD DQC3DCDDDQDDE3QDQ
Home Rule Leads by 3000.
The home rule liquor amendment is
nearly 3000 to the good in a total
count of 89,000 votes. The vote on
this measure and on the prohibition
amenument win prouaoiy run up to a
total of 95,000 to 100,000. On the
home rule bill, therefore, approxi
mately nine-tenths of the vote is rep
reeented in the figures that give the
present majority of 3000.
Prohibition did not fare well in the
general election. They lost consid
erable territory in addition to the
proposed state-wide measure, and In
addition the defeat was made more
telling by the triumph of the home-
rule measure.
None of the counties already wet
voted dry, but seven of the dry coun
ties went against prohibition. These
were Gilliam, Morrow, Malheur, Polk,
TillamooK, Umatilla and Klamath.
Leslie Butler has the distinction of
being tbe only prohibitionist candi
date to carry a county. Butler la a
banker at'. Hood River,' and was a
; candidate for state treasurer. He re
celved 56T votes to the 478 given
Thomas McKay, republican.

LIVESTOCK FROM ENTERPRISE
V
LAST OF BEETS.
A special train, ofl 32 care of sheep,

The sheep numbered 4800 and were

icgs and sheep, there have been
i.any carloads of hay, lumber, llmo

liants receiving thei.j: big stocks of
f:ill and winter goods. So far this
