The preferential vote for president by the republicans was 661 for Hughes; Cummins, 493. and Burton, 144. A few scattering votes were caat for Roosevelt. Tbe democrats thought all one way In Josephine county for president, and as ther were no serious contests for county office except for the nomina tion for sheriff, the election lacked "pep" from the democratic partisan's point of view. Clone ftac-e on Sestator Considerable Interest was aroused In the making np of the republican legislative ticket, and the race be tween Dr. Smith and Geo. Lundbnrg for the senatorial nomination; was a close and exciting one. Smith .won, according to the unofficial count, with a margin of 21 votes. The lead for this nomination veered from one to tbe other as the returns came in from outside precincts. A. E. V'oorhles won the represen tative nomination In a walk, getting practically as many votes as both Anderson and Crow combined.

Miller, and the race In November will lie be tween Blanchard and Miller.

I Democrats Write in Names . There were many names written 4n for various places on the democratic ticket, the democrats having under? taken a write-in campaign to fill out the ticket. It is probable that the official count will show , that Dr. Sweeney has received enough votes to qualify him to run for represen tative If he desires, and Attorney Hough will make the race for the state senate against Dr. Smith. Miss Ireland received numerous votes for nomination for county clerk, , In ward 7, where democrats op posed Bob Smith for precinct com mitteeman, he having filed his name for that modest office on the last day, Chairman - Blover was , re-elected, Smith receiving only six votes.
