HARLEY SELECTED AS
PROHIBITION ADVOCATE
Coed Story Comes From Poll
, ing Place In Salem This
Morning

A story this morning indicates that
the election is to be pretty badly mix
ed and that it is impossible to guess
which candidate the individual voter
win select. In one precinct six neigh
bors having voted snapped condolences
and il was found two had voted for
Withycombe, two for Olcott and two
for Simpson. While they were talking
over the matter a woman they knew
stopped on her way to the polls and
they at once tackled her as to which
candidate for the governorship she in
tended to vote for. She seemed a little
uncertain, so they waited until after
She voted when they again tackled her
as to her vote.
"You didn't vote for Withycombe
did youa" asked one.
"No, | wouldn't vote for him under
any circumstances" she replied.
"Did you vote for 0lcottfii was the
next query.
"No, l like Mr.. Olcott, but he has a
good job and l admire him as a sec.
rotary of state and think he would make
q splendid governor, but I did not vote
for him.
"Then you must have voted for Simp-
son., = said one of the Simpson voters.
"No, ] did not vote for him either, 2
was the reply. "To tell you the truth
l voted for the mar who helped put
Dragon on the map. When the legisla-
ture was in session last year l heard
Harley roast Gus hAoser for guzzling
booze down town and then coming back
to the state house and making speeches
about temperance, and all that, and
made up my mind he was the right man
for governor"
And this is why the statement is
made that no intelligent guess, even can
be made as to the candidate that APP
peals most strongly to the individual
voter. With one woman voting and six
men, the woman alone voted for Har-
lev.
