WINNER BY
Ku Klux Klan Suffers Political
Efrdy Blow in Full Count Re
call Election Sterling and
Jacksonville Lead County
for Terrill Medford Gives
Sheriff Majority.
CharlDa E. Terrill, twice elected
sheriff of Ja'ckson county by the peo
ple, for 50 years a resident of south
ern Oregon, and the subject of a year
of gossip and villif icatlon, retained
his official position Saturday at the
.recall election by a majority of 305,
over D. M. Lowe, proclaimed during
the campaign as a candidate and a
member of the Ku Klux Klan,
though he denied the last allegation,
in an affidavit during the closing
hours of the bitterest political battle
ever held in southern Oregon.
The unofficial count, from the HG
precincts in Jackson county com
plete, gave the following totals:
Terrill 2943
Lowe 2638
These figures will probably be
changed slightly In the official
count, which begins tomorrow by the
county clerk, but not enough to al
ter the result.
Rumors Arq Rifo
Ashland, recognized as the hotbed
of the Klan, and where the feeling
was strongest against thcl sheriff,
gave Lowe a majority of 417, as ex
pected with about 50 per cent of the
registered votes going to the polls,
i Central Point also was carried by
Lowe. The vote in these two cities
was: '
Ashland, nine prccincta. Jowe ,,
677; Terrill 256.'
Central Point, two precincts:
; North Central Point, Lpwe 88; ,
Terrill 42. , , ,
; South' Central , Point, Lowe.i,
100, Terrill 45. '".
Lowe carried Central Point by.,
a majority of 101. ...
These were the two chief .centers of
the Lowe strength.
. It was known at 10 o'clock that
Sheriff Terrill had carried the day,
and simultaneously rumors began to
'fly! It was reported In Ashland
Sunday, that Lowe was "only 12" be
hind", by 4 county official, and the
favorite yarn o:i Medford streets was
that "Roxy Ann over voted herself.
Inithls precinct 150 votes are regis
tered and, 145 were cast. -Innuendoes,
but ; no direct charges, were
h)ade' that' "Lowe had been gypped-,"
ulld; as gossip usually does, traveled
oh fleet wings. Threats of a contest,
.like the onje now raging between Gov.
01cott and' Hull were made.
. The banner precinct of the county
from the Terrill standpoint was Ster
ling, where Mr. Lowe did not receive
a single vote out of 20. This is the
home of Mrs. Mary E. Klelnhammer,
forewoman of the grand jury before
the' one now in session. Every pre
cinct in- the Applegate was carried
byyTerrill.
Jacksonville Strong for TcrriU
' Jacksonville, where Sheriff Terrill
resides, as does many of those most
active against him, and -, where a
number of affidavit ' Blgners hold
forth, went for Sheriff Terrill over
whelmingly. Terrill received 246
votes, Lowe 50, a majority for Ter
rill. 196. Adherents of Lowe main
tained there "was something wrong
there;" ' ' -.- ' .
. Another precinct 'hat administer
ed! la Stern rebuke to affldavitistas
:was Lake Creek, for many years the
loine; precinct of the sheriff. Here

sylvania railroad and B. . M. Jewell
head, of the striking shopmen's organ!
zations, that they would support bis
proposals for immediate ending of the

The assurances were understood to
' be the basis for the president's hope
for successful termination of his arbi
tration efforts. They have been the
subject of discussion, it was reported,
between the president and his immedi
ate advisers, including some members
of the senate.
The president has been told, It was

union conference to be held tomorrow
at Chicago,' give his endorsement to
the settlement proposal.
Mr. Cuyler and Mr. Atterbury, it was
said, did not go so far as the union
head, but were said to have advised
the president that they would at least
vote for Its acceptance.
It was said that Mr. Cuyler told the
president he would agree to present
the executive's proposals to the rail
way heads' conference tomorrow at

employes was expressed by A. O.
Wharton, labpr member of the railroad
labor boari who declared:
"If either the executives meeting in
New York Tuesday or the shop crafts
policy committee meeting in Chicago
should reject Mr. Harding's peace pro
posal, the group that rejects it will
face full responsibility for the continu
ation of the rail strike and all that
may result therefrom."
Opposition Is Expected
The union leaders, however, express
ed belief that the peace plan would
meet the strongest possible opposition
from railroad executives attending
Tuesday's meeting In New York at
the call of T. DeWItt Cuyler. They
expressed the belief that it would be
accepted finally, but only after a bitter
struggle based ou the refusal of many
roads to consent to the restoration of
seniority privileges to the strikers.
