'j' Jtie, entire Republican state ticket is elected, with the exception of W. J. Furnish, for governor, ;It appears to bea defeat for. him. It is but fair, how ever, tosay that ihe finals "may even yet change the trend at present apparent. - ; X There are many returns yet to come frbm lead that Is Chamberlain's The majorities of the reniaining,state candidates will be by such, liberal margins as to make their races uninteresting. The f ight was on the governor ship, The interest centered on that office. The movement of the protesting Republicans was the thing that, added to the union of forces by the Democracy, gave Chamberlain the strength he had. ' He was of course, if at all, elected by The returns that come In so often mention only the; governorship vote and some of the local phases that that the siaje of the majorities gained by the. Re- puDiican stale canuiuaics Also, it Is certain that.Tongue. in the First District, and Williamson, in the Second, are elected by CHAMBERLAIN WINS The election of Geo. Chamberlain wm conceded eexljr Jat night. It is probable that nothing ahqrt of an earthquake could ehahe hla hold on the' execltive chair. The city and county were allow ing vp finely for him, and the country eountlee were , doing yeoman . eervtee. Countlee heretofore Republican were com ing with return Indicating Chamber Inlft gaina, and in not one locality of the tate had there been" foeefc " Chamber lain had gained In almost every one of the 800 to 1000 precincts In Oregon. At noon, Mr. Chamberlain waa seen by The Journal, and asked to say something and he-replied: 'Vj ' CHAMBERLAIJ TAKL8. "I am assured by my friends that I have carried Multnomah County and the RETURNS Of Election Unusually - . i The rule of ,Jaw requires that the Judges and clerks bf election shall, after com pleting their: count,' : seal their report of the same and return to the County Cleric.

It is the expectation of the law that by that time all the returns , will bS in. .y.C.''; ' In case the returns are not all in by the expiration of five days, the County Clerk is authorixed to break the seals, and . then theomoial count begins. . The law aleo directs that the Judges and Merks of election shall post, in their re spective booths, a copy of their reports , on the number of ballots cast for each candidate, for the Information of the public. , -J- fit appears that in making the count last night, there were numerous provok ng delays. In the outlying districts Which were not accessible by messenger p Jt a late hour, it was not possible to get returns, even?1 by telephone. irilrome precincts . the repqrts did .not 'BSgln to come in until 11:30 and even then were very incomplete.',' ', ' : tJnder all the circumstances it is not strange hat complete figures were un obtainable.

' Wads 6f In--: competency do not get in to the clog the .', cogs. Everything Is so perfectly system atised that there, are no delays and defi nite figures sire obtainable.

A number of members of the Legislature will be elected front districts from which formerly Republicans went. County offi cers are, too, more numerously Dem ocratic than for years past. '. 't ? County Clerk from seven precincts, al though the "sealed boxes containing the ballots had been. , These .. were Nosv 13, 20. E8, 68, 69 and BO. Such a lack of Jtore thoukht Is inexcusable, n most unpar donable. It is well to aoqvtaint the pub lic with , these facts, not so much .tn a spirit of fault-finding,' put with the ob ject of preventing, such blunders In fu ture elections.'. ' ' ' At an early hour this morning men with sealed ballot' boxes were at the County Clerk's office, where there was no one to receive them. In the 66th precinct when ; the ballot box was. brought in, it was found that the sheet, 1 showing- the tabulated total vote,' was not made out. - When th in quiry was made, as to why this had not been . done, the answer was that the Judges wanted to catch a car. hence, did not take the trouble to .make one out. This was truly considerate and showed a higher conception of duty to the pub Vo. t ' Precincts PRECNCT Vote Given as the Count Progresses; Who wMl be mayor of Portland remains the absorbing- topic Of the election spec ulation. Oeorge E. Chamberlain's . elec tion is conceded by Democrats and Re publicans of , all shades of political belief. But as to Portland's chief executive, the end cannot yet be told. At seven o'clock a. m. today, when the night count had ended, Inman was 124 ahead, based on partial returns from 25 precincts. During the forenoon this lead was -increased un til 10:30 o'clock it stood at 164 to the good for Inman, with returns coming la slowly. Precincts 25, 29 and 30 were complete at that hour. GRADUAL CLIMB FOR INMAN. Crowds of people. In a score of places had assembled to receive the news, and The Journal was .besieged from all di rections to satisfy the consuming curi osity of the feverishly anxious cltisens. What's the latest from the electlonf "Is It true that Chamberlalh Is elect ed r' "How -about Inman? Ma he gaining yetr' ' " ,t ' These were the questions that earns thick and fast; t Tha answers were Invariably that In man, the Cltisens candidate, and Judge Williams were running-a prettyirace with the younger man slightly In tha lead, and exhibiting" better endurance than the venerable man who was entered against . him. "','. ' 1 5 r GAINED'aT U O'CLOCK. . At axactly eleven o'clock, tha 'phone brought the news to-the) Cltisens" bead- Counted quarters that precinct u had brought Inman up with a' gain of 24 votes in the count up : to ' date in that precinct This gave the sawmill man 188 the lead, and his supporters began to take good cheer and hope that the result would be such US to permit them to do some loud shout Ing when the finals were all In from throughout the County; - MORS GAINS AT 11:30. At Jl:9 o'clock the totals gave Inman 205 the lead,' and his stock went up with a bound. Smiles appeared where gloom had rested pn manr countenances and there was expectancy that the victory might be his. ' ' STILL MORS AT 11:45. Then at fifteen' minutes to 12 o'clock another boom, occurred in Inman securi ties, when two- precincts sent in Inman gains. "' J : Precinct No. U sent in a total of votes counted and showed Inman 118. Williams, 91, a gain of 97 for Inman. ' Precinct No. SO gave Inman SO. Wil liams, 45, another jjlnman'galn of IB. These two return Sj gave Inman an added gain of 42, and brought the total count to the moment sol" that Inman was 247 ahead. ' . .'. The hour of noon struck with no more news ofdetohkraeter. It -was time to eat, but no one1 was hungry. Election returns tasted better than Dork, and beanj or even than terrapin or canvas bank duck.. No bnewent to luncheon, tfut more came Into the Cltiens" headquar ters and the room was Jammed. .VARIOUS "E8TIMATES. Then began rapid esUtnates and only a few thousand rotes, probably (500 or 4,000 bad been counted, out of a toUl of about 15,000 cast ifx the city of Portland. If the same proportion were kept up, inman would win by approximately 800 to 880. ThU waa ; the prevailing senti ment,' though ; !yryjfn knew j'tjiit' any hour' ;fcst''!B4gs'tto faco'of '"the to-i tarns And give the ld to Williams. . f REPUBLICAN CLAIMS. Over at the Republican headquarters there was a disposition to claim Wil liams' election, although Chairman Mat thews conceded that there was nothing yet but guessing and that the end could not be accurately predicted. He said: "Our figures show Williams slightly ahead,' but the margin is so narrow that the count as it progresses aaay tripe it out at any moment ' It remains an open question yet as to who will be mayor." ' The count goes on slowly, and at the close of the day the totals are such as to leave all sorts of possibilities for the outcome. OFFICERS No Result Can Be Given for Hours. The County offices are all In doubt. No one, unless it be Omniscience, knows at this time who are elected, and tho status of affairs at Cltisens' and Repub lican headquarters is such as to render it somewhat difficult to establish direct com munication with tho domain of infinite knowldege. There was a tendency to believe Drls coll was slightly in the advantage,, with Bird, Independent and Storey, Republi can, fighting for tail-end honors. Going down the line on the other offi cers, the facts were that there was al most as much doubt at 1:30 this after noon as when the polls were opened yes terday. " ' '-f-r -' ' - TICKETS CUT. The Citizens' and Republican tickets were ail cut to pieces here and else where. One precinct , would show tho Cltisens ahead, another the Republicans, and yet another would show that half of one and half of the other was receiving- support Any of the candidates may win. It will be hours yet before the . end will be in sight As to drift, there was none. It was a choppy sea, with a gale blowing and no break in the Eastern sky Not one Coun ty candidate could be found who would give any reason for the faith that was in him, and few had any faith that bo was successful. CHARTER CARRIES. As to the Initiative and referendum, only one result is, of course, possible, and that IS that it carries unless It be that so many failed to mark their bal lots that the requisite majority of alt votes registered vera narked "Yea" . A majority of all votes cast would not suffice. ', ' Many ' ballots were not marked as to the Initiative and referendum. . - v Tho same is true with reference to tho city . charter. Tho - voters apparently thought wore Of the personality of tho COUNTY THE LATEST At S o'cock 11 completed precincts gave the-following-totals; ....: Chamberlain, 759.

The first counted votes were those cast In tho afternoon as the election -boards went deeper In the boxes and got to the morning votes, the trend was somewhat favorable to the Cltisens' ticket - At S o'clock It Is "anyone's fight" oh local officers, with reasonable certainty that Chamberlain will have about 2000 majority in the state, carrying also this county. . About one-half the vote of the county has been counted.The finals will be in at sometime tomorrow. Candidates than for the abstractions of municipal law and constitutional changes. Both measures will remain in doubt up to the end of the count when both will probably carry, provided neglect was not tod common on the voters' part THROUGHOUT THE STATE. JACKSON COUNTY.
