PROHIBITION is
ISSUE IN OREGON

Portland, Ore. Nov. 7.-As in Cali
fornia and Washington prohibition is
a large issue at the polls in Oregon,
one of the two most heatedly argued
measures proposing to let down the
bars slightly by permitting the manu-
facture of beer; the other to add to
the effectiveness of the present prohib-
itory laws by absolutely prohibiting
the importation of liquor.
A land and loan tax" sponsored by
labor leaders, is opposed as a single
tax: other special propositions on the
ballot include the abolition of Sunday
closing laws, establishing rural credits,
and limiting taxes and Indebtedness.
There Is no gubernatorial election,
of the three incumbent congressman
who seek reelection, two are being
opposed. In the first district W. C.
Hawley, Republican incumbent, has
as his opponent Mark ". .Weatherford,
Democratic and Prohibition nominee.
In the third district c. N. Macarthur.
Republican incumbent. is opposed by
]. A. Jeffrey, Democrat, and A. w.
Lafferty, Independent.

KEEN INTEREST taken
IN NATIONAL ISSUES
In California Two Prohibi-
tion Amendments Are
Submitted to the People
Oregon Measure Proposes
Modification of the Liquor
Law.

San Francisco, Nov. IA record
vote was predicted in California, not
only because of keen political inter-
est, but because of the bitter fight over
the two prohibition amendments sub
mitted. Amendment No. l provides
complete prohibition, effective in 1920.
and No. 2, effective in 1918, prohibits
the sale of liquor In hotels and clubs.
Democrats, campaigning for the
election of George S. Patton to the
United States senate, have claimed
the state for President Wilson by 50,-
900 votes in recent weeks. Governor
Hiram w. Johnson, opposed before the
primaries by the regular Republicans,
has had the unanimous G. o. p. sup
port since his acquisition of both the
Progressive and Republican senatorial
nominations at the primaries.
Suffragists organized the All Par
ties league for Wilson late in the cam
paign intended to offset the invasion
of the Hughes Woman's Alliance spe-
cial train which came to California
from the east.
There is no gubernatorial election in
California this year.

four MILLION
WOMEN CASTING
BALLOTS TODAY

Washington, Nov. I'm round
numbers there at least 100000 wo
men eligible to vote today, according
to figures compiled by the Congress
sional Union for Women Suffrage.
In twelve states the women may bal
lot for president. In six of these
states, Illinois. Kansas. Arizona, Ore
gon, Montana and Nevada, they will
exercise this right for the first time.
The other states in which women are
eligible to vote for, president are Colo
rado, Wyoming. Utah, Idaho. Wash
ington and California The twelve
states have a total of 81 votes on the
electoral college. 1t is easily con-
ceivable that. If cast as unit the
votes of the women might have a very
decisive influence on the election re-
rults. However, there is believed to
exist very little probability that the
women voters. or any very great ma
jority of them, will align themselves
with any one party. 1t is also true
that among the women. as we'll as the
men, there are large numbers of those
who are eligible to vote who have
never qualified.

stration staged by Princeton students
and professors.
At the entrance of the Princeton

peared from every direction. They
swarmed over the campus and rushed
toward the voting place in which the

Washington. Nov. There were
no evidences Of election excitement in
the capital today. Possessing no vote

terested Washington occupies a posi-
ton similar to that of family whose
sons go to war on different sides.
She watches the conflict with intense
concern although she is permitted no
participation in 1t and will be pleased
to have 1t come to close, whatso-
ever the erd may be.
Not content with their participation
in the campaign in behalf of their
chief, all the members of the cabinet
have followed the example of the
president and have remained at their
respective homes to cast their votes.
The same Is true of nearly alf the
heads of bureaus. of many of the di-
visional chiefs and of a considerable
percentage of the male clerks in the
different departments.
