Election Notes:

The scan of the Abstract of Votes on the Secretary of State's website appears be have folded over the column listing the Socialist (Thomas) votes. Thomas's county figures are sourced from the compilation Oregon Votes 1858-1972, available at the Oregon Historical Society in Portland. The totals for all candidates are also listed in the 1933 Biennial Report of the Secretary of State.
Some sources, in particular the Clerk of the House's report, spell Jacobsen's name as Jacobson (with an "o"). The official Abstract of Votes and the 1933 Biennial Report, however, spell it with an "e".
