1 ' r s. Forty Ninth Year No. 2 Moro, Oregon, Ffjday, November n > a r- State Affairs By A. L LiadU ck - The Oregon returns in the recent battle of the, bal)ots were not with out their usual quota of surprises, not the least o f which was the astounding plurality amassed by President Roosevelt. . While this state had b<en pretty generally eonseded to tha. Democratic candi- d aten ot even his most rabid parti sans had anticipated the land slide which swept* ^yery county in the state—including rock ribbed Re- publicah .Blm&9;init<>, the Roosevelt column. Republican* who had con- sedfed a * Roosevelt victory in this state bad grudgingly estimated his margin of victory at 16.000 to 20,- 000. Democralh. on the other hand, had claimed the state for ttfair candidate by any where from 40,- 000 to 76.000, a few of the more wild eyed partisans boosting the margin to l ¿ T u r f,» . 100,000. The voters gave "hini a plurality of more than 143,000. Only a little less surprising than the huge total rolled up by Roose velt was the strength displayed by Willis Mahoney, democratic can didate for United States Senator, who, carried along on the crest of .the democratic land slide and with substantial aid from his Townsend- ite admirers came -within 6000 votes of unseating the veteran Chas. L. McNary^ republican floor leader in the Senate, and generally accounted an easy victor in. the race for re-election. Alfred Dobson, democrat, whp was expected to give the veteran I. H. Van Winkle a hard race for the attorney generalship did so, coming within 11,000 of winning. One of the most unexplainable results of the election was the big vote polled by the old age pension amendment which came within 5500 vot:-s of carrying and which,, had it been approved, would have completelly disrupted the state's old age pension seV-up, dry and county oid age tog up the et Moro Woman’s Wheat League Club Discusses j Committees Áre Public Welfare Getting Busy oft! --------- r Official County Paper WB6 - ~ - We?d Problem »1 t e » Being Considered w ¡O j Among Farmers The Moro Woman’s Club . jnet Friday, November 7th, at the home of 'Mrs. D.
