Portland, Nov. 6.—As official re­
turns come in from the various coun­
ties of the state, Taft’s plurality con­
tinues to grow', and it is almost certain
that the first night’s estimate of 25,000
will be verified.
Bryan’s vote in each county exceeds
that for Parker four years ago, and
even Taft has in many instances re­
ceived a b g g er vote than that accord­

Prohibitionist, polled a respectable
vote. As indicated, the Socialist vote
