Portland, Ore, March S.-After
waiting in vain for candidates for
presidential elector to declare them
selves, the democratic state central
committee has persuaded five repre-
sentative democrats to announce them
selves for this office, which is devoid
of salary and has no duties except to
officially register the choice of the
voters for president and vice presi-
dent
d NJ. Watson and f. C. Whitten of
Portland, Will NJ Peterson of Pen
dleton, Hugh McLain of Marshfield
and John NJ. Wall of Hillsboro are
the men selected for the electoral
ticket, all of them we'll known in the
councils of the democratic party.
'None of these men cared to run"
said Bert e. Haney, chairman of the
state central committee, land they
will be pleased If someone who really
wants to become a candidate will
come out. 1t is a considerable job
to get the signatures required for
democratic candidates. for each man
must have 756 good registered names
distributed in seven counties of the
state. The petitions must be filed
by March 90 and it is time to get
busy, so there will be no danger of
the party lacking its quota of presi-
Dental electors"
The five candidates for elector will
sign identical platforms" in which
they promise to perform their duties
according to law and further promise
the democratic voters of the state
that if elected they will vote for the
candidates for president and vice
president nominated by the democrat
ic convention at Baltimore.
| Democratic petition circulators have
found difficulty in getting names to
the petitions of candidates because
such large numbers of democrats are
unregistered. At this date about 1900
names are on the list in tMultnomah
county, and the figures are being in
creased at the rate of about 100 per
day.
Democrats will have something to
fight for in this campaign" said Mr.
Haney today, land the registration
figures are disappointing. Inquiry
shows that they are unusually slow In
registering We will have three can
didates on the ballot for president
three for United states senator, anC
contests for other offices that may
mean much more than compliment
airy vote.
Democrats should register and reg
lister now. We want a vote in the pri
mary that will register the real demo
ocratc should see that their friends
ocrats should see that theri friends
and neighbors of the democratic
party are registered"
