The returns leave no room for doubt as to any results on the state ticket and congressional ticket. Hawley, in the First, Sinnott, in the Second, and Lafferty, in the Third, are well to the good over their oppo' nents. Olcott is elected secretary o f state Mickle, dairy and food commissioner, and Aitchison, railroad commissioner. I f present ratios be carried out, Wilson will have a plurality over Roosevelt o f about 7500. There is still an element o f doubt as to whether Roosevelt or T a ft will win second place, but the outlook seems to favor Roosevelt. In the state outside of the county, Roosevelt and T a ft to. tals are almost identical, but in Mult nomah county the returns indicate a final load for Roosevelt over T a ft of abou 2000. With about one-half the vote count ed in Multnomah county and the state outside, the totals on president are as follow s: Wilson 21,088, Roosevelt 17,341, T a ft 16,196. Returns for about one-half the vote outside o f Portland are at hand and these added to the Multnomah county figures, which are also representative of about one-half the vote, give Sell ing a slight lead. However the out side vote is more nearly compete from the anti-Selling counties than from WOODROW WILSON, OK NEW JERSEY. those that are supposed to go for the Republican candidate.

M ARSHALL, OF INDLT n X The vote in Pennsylvania was am azingly close, the returns from more than 1000 precincts embracing 185,- 000 votes giving each o f tho three leading presidential candidates more than 60,000 votes. The Providence. R. I., Journal con ceded that state to Wilson, and with the vote close in New Hampshire, it seemed probable that New England’s entire vote, with the exception of Vermont, bad gone over to the Demo cratic column. Michigan Conceded to Roosevelt. Detroit— Returns from 146 out of 2116 state precincts show T aft 12,347, Roosevelt 20,330, Wilson, 16,66. This does not include the incomplete count in many Detroit precincts. It is con ceded that Roosevelt will carry the state. Portland, Or., Nov. 7.— The count at 2:30 a. m. in Multnomah county on woman suffrage was : Yes 8029; no 7627. State, outside of Multnomah coun ty; Yes 12,210, no 11,361. The Malarkey public service bill, submitted by referendum, it is indi cated, will have a substantial major ity. As was forecast, the three-cornered controversy over road measures ap parently has resulted in the defeat of all plans, although the harmony amendment lim iting county indebted ness for roads is in doubt. Seemingly all tax measures submitted by the tax commission and legislature, except the repeal o f county tax option and probably the bill excepting the ex emption o f household effects, have been rejected. The capital punishment bill, which, if adopted, would have abolished the death penalty in Oregon, is defeated according to incomplete returns by up ward o f 20,000 votes. The Cascade county measure is snowed under and the hotel inspector bill is in the run ning for cellar championship. The blue sky law also seems to have gone to its death in the avalanche of "n oes.” It is probable that the anti boycott bill has been defeated, but there is still doubt as to the anti street speaking law. Roosevelt Second in Maryland. Baltimore— Woodrow Wilson carried Maryland by from 20,000 to 26,000 plurality, estimated from figure* re ceived up to a late hour. Roosevelt ran second. Washington, D. C.— President Taft has signed and issued the following Thanksgiving Day proclamation : “ A God-fearing nation like ours owes it to its inburn and sincere sense o f moral duty to testify its devout gratitude to the A ll Giver for the countless benefits it has enjoyed. For many years it has been customary at the close o f the year for the National Executive to urge upon his fellow countrymen to offer praises and thanks to God for the manifold blessings vouchsafed to them in the past and to unite in earnest suppliance for their continuance. “ The year now drawing to a close has been notably favorable to our for tunate land. A t peace within and without, free from the perturbations and calamities that have afflicted oth er peoples, rich in harvests so abund ant and industries so productive that overflow o f our prosperity has ad v ant aged the whole world, strong in the steadfast devotion to the heritage of self-government bequeathed to us by the wisdom o f our father*, and firm in the resolve to transmit that heritage unimpaired but rather improved by good use to our children and our chil dren’s children for all time to come, the people of this country have abounding cause for contented grati tude. "W herefore. I. William Howard T aft, president of the United States o f America, in pursuance o f long- established usage and in response to the wish o f the American people, invite the countrymen, wheresoever they may sojurn, to join on Thursday, the 28th day o f this month of November, in appropriate ascription o f praise and thanks to God for the good gifts that have been our portion and in humble prayer that His great mercies toward us may endure.” CRUISERS T O FAR EAST. Tennessee and Montana Rushed to Scene of Turkish War. Washington, D. C.— Two big Amer ican armored cruisers, the Tennessee and the Montana, have received rush orders to proceed to Turkish waters to look after the interests o f American citizens. The cruisers are now in reserve at the Philadelphia navy yard, the Ten nessee being the flagship o f Rear Ad miral Austin M. Knight. They should be ready to sail within 24 hours and under ordinary circum stances should reach Constantinople about November 25. Full complements o f marines will be carried by the two cruisers when they sail for Turkish waters. Orders were issued for assembling the re quired number at Philadelphia. From the Norfolk navy yard 400 marines will be drawn. The first disposition of the State de partment had been to refrain from sending any American warships to the Bosphorus, for the double reason that their appearance might be taken as an evidence of American participation in the present Balkan war and its settle ment and that so rapid has been the progress of the war that probably the ships could not reach Constantinople in time to be o f any service. Since the president’s return from Cincinnati, however, and after a con ference with the State department officials, the fact was demonstrated that American naval vessels could be employed as places o f refuge for American citizens in Turkey, in case o f general anarchy or the existence of conditions o f disorder beyond the con trol of the m ilitary commanders on both sides. Speckels O ffers SbOOO New York — Rudolph Spreckels. of California, gave out the following statement at Democratic National headquarters: “ The latest reports from California indicate that Roose velt leads Wilson by 56 votes. Being fam iliar with the California political situation. I feel that a careful investi gation should be promptly made con cerning the slow count and unexplain able changes that have taken place in Los Angeles county. I have suggest ed that a $5000 reward be offered for evidence o f frauds.” Jute Grain Bags Doomed. Walla Walla. Wash.— Jute bags for grain are doomed in Washington, Ida ho and Oregon i f the resolution adopt ed at the tri-state meeting o f the Farmers’ union in this city has weight. The resolution porvides that in the future the unions are to dis courage the use o f the jute bags, sub stituting instead cotton bags. These cotton bags can be secured cheaper, and it is asserted they are as practi cal. The adoption o f this resolution followed a two days’ debate on the sack question. Warren Likely Elected.
