Two miles out Of Carrizal we were

we might have TO fight, or we might
get through peacefully, but there was
only one way to carry out orders,
and that vas to obey them. This was

WILSON LEADS Strong
WITH OREGON VOTERS
Voters Declare for President
Regardless of Party
AGliatiOn

Portland, Or, April 3.-The Oregon
ian S straw vote Of the registered voters
of Multnomah county resulted as fol-
lows, according to that paper:
OF 1862 voters who expressed their
preference for President in the straw
vote conducted by the Oregonian on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the
registration office in the Courthouse
Sl3 voted for Woodrow Wilson, 46S for
Charles E. Hughes and 329 for Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
There were, besides, 81 scattering
votes for other republican possibilities,
five votes for Democrats other than
Wilson, and 10 Socialist votes.
To sum up, S64 persons expressed
preference for Hughes, Roosevelt Or
some other Republican possibility, as
against Sl3 who voted for Mr. Wilson,
or SIS who wanted either Mr.. Wilson
or some other Democrat. The majority
of those favoring a Republican to a
Democrat for President next year thus
was 4G.
Every effort was made in taking the
straw vote to obtain the honest pref
erence of voters. No person was urged
to vote for a Republican or for a Demo
erat, or for any particular candidate or
possibility.
Registration by parties in the three
days during which the vote was taken
was 1928 Republican, $50 Democrat, l2O
independent, II Progressive, II Prohi-
bition and Al Socialist.
Ballots had previously been printed
with the following questions:
'ln 1912 / Ivoted for ......................'
ain 1916 l prefer ........................,....
These ballots were handed to persons
at the registration counter as they came
to receive from the clerks the cards
bearing their precinct numbers. Locked
ballot boxes in which to drop the votes
were at the exit from. the registration
office.
The total registration for the three
days was 32l6. AS the number of votes
cast was 1892, this was we'll over half
the registration. Perhaps 20 to 30
votes, but not more, were cast by per
sons who had registered previously but
asked the privilege of voting.

1t was noted that among the women there strong
preference shown for Wilson, considerably more than half
of those voting favOrng him.
This was probably as fair straw vote could be
taken and it is certainly far from encouraging to the
republicans 1t shows the strong following Wilson has
among republicans and also that in order to beat him in
this state if the proportion held good it would require
that practically all those who not for him be united
in the election against him.
With the strong sprinking of prohibtionists social
iss independents and Others this unity is impossible and
the straw vote if it shows anything shows that Wilson
will carry Oregon
