All ' Prominent Republican Candi dates Are Found to Have Friends Among'Portlaiid's Electors. Many viewpoints are given by men and women voters in the Informal poll of choices for president being conducted in Portland by The Orego niarj. Harsh, emphatic expressions are hurled occasionally at this or that candidate, while equally definite dec larations of an opposite nature are made by others. Many cast their bal lots without comment. Yesterday's poll was taken at the Civic league luncheon in the Hotel Benson, where many women were in cluded; in the Gasco building, includ ing the Portland Gas & Coke com pany's offices; the wholesale milli nery establishment of Lowengart & Co.. the Feldenhelmer and Friedlander Jewelry stores, Samuel Rosenblatt's Clothing store and the M. Sichel hab erdashery place. " At the luncheon of the Civic league a good many women were present and cast their votes, Herbert Hoover being the favorite candidate, with Major-General Leonard Wood a strong tecond and Hiram W. Johnson a weak third. Women Vote for Bryan. "Where's the democratic sheet?" queried a woman who had been chat ting to a companion at a table of the . Civic league luncheoq. "Don't you have a democratic ballot?" Of course, the democratic ballot was there, and when slfown It the woman said: "Bryan is my choice," and she voted for him. ' "I also vote for Mr. Bryan he's dry," announced' the other woman, and she, too, marked down one for the "peerless leader." No further calls for a Heniocratic ballot were heard. The 'luncheon vote was as follows: Handing. 1; Hoover, 22; Hughes, 1; Johnson, 6; Lowden. 4; Poindexter, 1; Taft, 1; Wood.-14; Bryan, 2. Outstanding candidates in the Gasco building poll, in the order named, were Hoover, Wood, Johnson and Lowden. "I wouldn't vote for Hoover for dog catcher," was the comment of one man in the Gasco building. "Johnson for me," said another. "He is a real man. I like him because he is a 'fighter like Roosevelt .and will stand on his own merits." "I am decidedly against all of the candidates," remarked one man who declined to cast a vote. "I decry the electioneering and the scramble for this high office," said another man. "It detracts from the dignity of the position. It should all be left to the convention for deci sion." "I would vote -for Hoover if t thought he had any chance," was still another man's way of looking at it. "But I don't believe in wasting a vote, so I will vote for Wood." -The Gasco building vote resulted: Coolidge, 1; Harding, 3; Hoover, 68; Hughes. 1: Johnson. 23; Lowden, 29; Taft. 3; Wood, 35; McAdoo, 3; Wil son, 1. Muck Interest Manifested. In the Lowengart poll many women were included. Much interest was manifested there. Only elgit em ployes were not registered. A feature of this vote was the fact that there were six ballots cast for President Wilson; William Gibbs McAdoo and James W. Gerard each received one vote on the democratic side. Hoover was the leader of the republican vote, with Johnson second and General John J. Pershing third. The vote was; Hoover, 9; Johnson, 4; Pershing, 2; Poindexter, 1; Wood, 1; Gerard, 1; McAdoo. 1; Wilson. 6.
