These llgures give llugh.s aoutside Multnomah, of nearly

11,000 over his nearest opponent. If thissame latlo Is maintained In tho re-

mainder of the vote H ugliest will havea clear plurality over Cummins of about.10,000. With the complete) votn In Mult-nomah county tabulated Justice Hugheshas 20,S7:i votes to 8,213 for the IowaSenator, a plurality of nearly 15.000,Justice Hughes likewisi his received ndear majority of mote than 20,000 overall Itepubllcan Presidential candidatescombined.

Col, Hoosevelt whose name w.is noton the ballot, only scatteringvotfs from various parts of the State.

The primary campaign Junt closed hnsbeen regarded here as one of the mostImportant held thl je.ir In tho UnitedStates. Oregon was the only Statu lnwhich the name of Charles K. Hughesappeared for the Presidency, In otherwords. It was the first real test beforethe voters of the I'nlteU States n toIlls popularity In national politics.

Tho returns so far received Indicatethat the women voted for him In aratfo of almost 2 to 1. Tho GermanAmerican sentiment seems to hnve cutbut little figure. Ope of the most nu-merous German societies In tho Statemade an olllclal appeal to lto membersIn vote for Senator Cummins of Iowa,but this seems to have had little or noeffcrt on the result,

Then, again, It Is known that theProgressives quietly urged the membersof their party to support the Iowa Senator, who mane an active personal canvass of tho State.

While It Is true that a considerablenumber of voters wrote In tho name nfTheodore Hoosevelt, lt is not believed bythose In touch with thn situation thatthe Colonl would have led In tho votingeven If Ms name had been placed onthe olllclal ballots. To sum It up, thereseems to bo a general Impression thntregardless of all political factions Jus-tice llughea Is the clear choice nf theHepubllcan voters of Oregon.

The dentist lost all Interest when Dr.Moore step hy step told of the growingconsciousness of the defendant that tholaw was after him: how tho cremationplan, stopped by tho mysterious I.

The head of the defendant was seento nod at one stage of bis examinationand a close observer niw that thn man'seyes wero closed and ho was enjoying alittle nap. There was nothing brazen,apparently no pretence, no particularconcern In the actions of bin counsel, noconsultations with them.
