Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PORTLAND, OREo., Nov. There is no doubt
Of three Of Oregons four electoral votes being
cast for Harrison. The fourth is in doubt ow-
ing to the withdrawal of the democratic elector
and substitution of Pierce, the populist candi-
date, for seat in the college. If the vote at the
state election in June is criterion then Pierce's
election is assured. Republicans. however, ex
press great confidence and say recent attempts
of state committee to withdraw the other three
democratic candidates will cause many populists
formerly republicans to return to the fold. In
Washington it is only question of majority so
far as the national ticket is concerned,
though democrats base little hope of the
third party drawing enough votes from repub-
licans to enable them to win the state election.
Really the fight is between Seattle and Tacoma
and the great issue Is the lakes union
and Washington canal scheme. The vote
will be very close. The legislature elects
a successor to Allen and it now looks like that
Senator will return, though he is opposed by
the anti-canal wing of his party in Pierce
county. Representative Allen is certain of re-
election, but the vote for second Congressman
