PORTLAND, Ore, May 12-The presidential primary on May IS will be Herbert Hoover day for oregon Republicans.
 The secretary of commerce is unopposed on their ballot, so the opportunity provided is limited to polling an endorsement of the candidacy of one who spent his boyhood days in this state and left it as a somewhat serious, small-town youth, short of funds, but long on ambition to work his way through a university educa- tion.
 Ranking their candidate as a "favorite son." Secretary Hoover's supporters have confined their campaign to a plea for a large vote to make the states endorse ment of him impressive.
 On the Democratic side there is lively three-cornered fight for convention delegates.
 Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York, sponsored by the Oregon h-for-President club, headed by John c. Veatch, Portland at torney, entered the primary cam paign early. His candidacy found an outspoken antagonist in Os wald West, former governor oi Oregon, who enlivened the cam paign by attacking the New York executive and his Oregon back CTS.
 West filed declarations of candi dacy for both of Smiths oppon ents-Senator James A. Reed oi Missouri and Thomas J. Walsh of Montana-but was not identified with the campaign organizations of either.
 Harvey w. Starkweather, Port land attorney and long active ir Democratic circles, became man ager of the Walsh organization The Reed campaign moved along without any directing head. Fred E. Riddle, state senator took charge of the Hoover head quarters and directed such pre- primary work as was done for the secretary of commerce. A fourth Democratic candidacy , is that of Rev. Alonzo Workman of Joplin, Mo.
 Three candidates filed for vict president on the Republican ticket Congressman Hamilton Fish O New York, William B. Webster O. Bucyrus, Ohio, and John H. Hal of Portland.
 Milton A. Miller of Portland filed for vice-president on tht Democratic ticket.
