The close of a campaign that, In many respects, Is the most peculiar ever held In this state, will come Tuesday. A Republican victory is certain; the question Is its extent!". In spite of protestations of supreme confi dence, Republican politicians expect a slump, due largely to' apathy and In part to factional differences. This has "been a campaign In which each man "looked out for himself." There has been talk of "supporting the entire ticket," but that was for platform or newspaper purposes. As a matter of fact. In many counties the fight has been waged by each candidate much as he chose. Politicians call .It a "still Sunt." The-effect of a still hunt is-not far different trom a cut-throat game. Where candW dates are principally concerned for their own welfare, they do not consider the possibility of their action upon the rest of the ticket Pierce County affords an example of the style of campaign followed. The labor unions have been induced to Indorse John Hartman and R. W. Jones, candidates for Sheriff and' Clerk, respectively. Throughout the campaign the. Democrats have centered their fight behind these two men. The result has been that the Republicans are forced to abandon most of their ticket to protect the two offices assailed. The other nominees on both tickets, as a result, are 'conducting the best kind of an unaided fight they can. There Is method In the Democratic pro gramme, of course. The two offices have plenty of patronage, and the tw.o nom inees are strong men. The county Is heavily Republican, and most of the ticket is certain of defeat. If two places can be saved, the Democrats are. so much ahead. But the effect of the fight Is to weaken the party organization, for It does not produce the best of feeling among other nominees when they learn they are being traded right and left. Kins Fight on Two Ofllcefi. In King County there is an Interest in Just two fights. Politicians want to know the outcome of the Wooding-Cudihee fight for Sheriff and the Moore-Piper struggle for the State Senate In the Thirty-fourth district. There are contests more or less close, but Interest centers in these two fights. The undoubted popularity of Ed Cudihee makes the fight for Sheriff uncertain. He is the present Democratic incumbent, and there Is no question that he has been loose Jn the management of his office. But his policies please the "wide-open" faction, and there Is a strong feeling that he was mistreated In the Tracy reports. Moreover, Cudihee is a man who makes and keeps friends. ' "Wooding has he benefit of a heavy Republican majority and a slight dis affection among disappointed Democratic office-seekers to help him. The gambling clement, otherwise the First "Ward, of Seattle. Is still looking for a place to light. If "Wooding wins, it will be solely because of the big straight Republican vote. The Piper-Moore Senatorial fight In volves the policies of Mayor Hume3 al the railroad question. Piper made Huns' third election possible; he controls , me municipal policy. As a result, he has In curred the enmity of a large number of politicians who envy him. Then the rail roads have come out openly In their sup port of Moore. The latter is an avowed railroad man. The First Ward contributes three large precincts to the Piper-Moore district. The control of this vote by Piper is undis puted. But the Democrats are preparing to interfere by legal or forcible means to shut out a part of thl3 vote. Though the district is 400 Republican, the result is In doubt, the odds slightly favoring Piper. Fishermen Take Hand in "Whatcom. In "Whatcom County the Democrats are centering their fight on Sheriff Brisbane. He was compelled to serve a number of warrants among fishermen of the county, and this fact has been used strongly among the seiners. The old prejudice against the traps has been aroused among the fishermen. Incidentally, there Is a strong fight on for the Legislative ticket. The fight In Pacific County Is especially bitter. There dissatisfied Republicans and the Democrats fused, and the straight Republicans are- very bitter In their at tacks upon the opposition ticket. Per sonalities' are used to an. extent not known in other parts of the state. The result In Walla Walla County hinges upon the extent of the anti Ankeny sentiment. Some one blundered there. Auditor McLean, who has caused all the trouble over the filing of the Re publican ticket, was here two months ago. He explained carefully then that he was an Ankeny man and anxious to work with Ankeny.. But he opposed Crocker. Instead of placating him, the Ankeny leadern made a fight on McLean. The result Is a spilt that threatens the Legis lative ticket as well as the county nominees. ; Democrats In Stevens County are mak? lng an especially bitter fight on County Attorney Kirkpatrlck. Skagrit Appetite for Help. From Skagit County comes a "strong ap peal for help. The Republican Legisla tive ticket is in danger, and local poli ticians declare themyeU'es unable to han dle the situation. Ex-Senator Wilson went tip there a few night ago to help out. It possible, and although the dele gation is against him, he made a per sonal appeal to the Republicans of the county to support jthe ticket. That, how ever, has not helped enough. F. O. Ehr Hch la the principal object' of attack, and a mass meeting of shlnglemlll em ployes Is to be held Sunday at Sedro Woolley to attack his candidacy. Efforts to offset this have been made by appeal ing to outside labor leaders. Governor McBride is continuing his campaign, which Is regarded by politicians as a selfish effort to advance his own interests. Reports coming from the East Side indicate" that he has injured the prospects of -Republican candidates for the. Legislature, although he may have strengthened himself. And now he in vades IPIerce and King Counties, where studious efforts have been made to keep the railroad fight in tho background. Good politics, or rather a feeling of in terest in Republican success, would have kept McBride out of those counties In which he could only m.ko trouble. But he insisted upon going; and if the county committees would not receive him. he found some other organisation" to accept the responsibility for his coming. The Republican state committee!! appreciating, the situation, is understood to be dis claiming the responsibility for' the Gov ernor's tour. An interesting incident of the campaign came to light a day or two ago. It ap pears the Democratic State Committee had assigned O. R. Holcomb to Spokane. Holcomb is a Democratic candidate for Congress, but when the Spokane commit tee learned he might go there, an urgent request was made- of the state committee to cancel the date, Spokane Democrats stating1- plainly they dld'snot want to hear Holcomb.- This., story wasfient to To coma, and it has Jjl a. cKring effect upon Reir&ejtcansr, who .rint trouble among -the Ijevttocrars, , The truth of the matter Is,' Holcomb. Is a very weak candidate.. His nomination was a mistake, but possibly since the chief aim of the Democratic state com mittee is to elect Senator Turner, there is not much time spent in worrying over the situation. The tact that Holcomb re- (Concluded on Second Page. CONTENTS OF TODAY'S PAPER. Political. "Washinjton campaign i3 fast resolving Itself, into a light for self. Page 1.

Portland j shows a slight lncreas- on flour shipments for the season to date, with 2S1.3S3 barrels, compared with 275.103 barrels for the same period last year.

A new feature In the trade waa the shipment of a full cargo of wheat to San Francisco yesterday. Over 50.CCO bushels were sent down, and it Is the first large' shipment south for nearly vfive years. The flour shipments of Seattle. Tacoma, Everett and Vancouver have jumped up to, 521,319 barrels for the season to date, compared with. 250,536. .barrels for the eajhe period last year. Despite the fact that the crop of 1502 is over 7,000,000 bushels smaller than that of last year, the movement Is the largest on record for so early In the season, and from all Oregon and Wash ington ports there has been shipped (flour included) 9,492,9152 bushela compared with 9.0S1.943 bushels for-the same period last year, 7,508,567 bushesl for two years ago, 4,531.505 bushels for the same period In the season of 1SS9-00.

Portland's wheat shipments alone were In excess of 1,850,000 bushels, but the flour shipments" from this port were slightly under those of. last year. All of the wheat from Port land with the exception of a cargo for South, Africa and a cargo for San Fran cisco went to Europe. The October grain fleet from this city presented two features of special interest, for during the month there was cleared from this city the larg est cargo of wheat and the largest cargo of" flour that ever went'out of the Colum bia River. In addition to the flour cleared di- j rect from Portland, nearly 40,000 barrels i were shipped from this port to Puget Sound for reshipmcnt to the Orient, the infrequency of the service of the Port land & Asiatic Line preventing all of the BUSY DAY FOR PRINCE.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 31. The follow ing hrlef statement was irsued at the "White llouce today. In answer to in quiries th!s afternoon rcKardin? the pending campaign: The President is watching with the keenest interest and thp most earnest desire for Kcrubilcan success In the various Congressional 21atrlet3 and in the state canvasses in states like. New York And Pennsylvania, where Gover nors are to be elected. OP.EGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 31. While there is little or no concern in Administration circles con cerning the outcome of the Congressional elections Tuesday, there Is a very appar ent growing anxiety over the outlook In both New York and Wisconsin. Tho statement made by Secretary Cortelyou today was Intended to arouse the voters of the President's own state to a realiza tion of the true situation. Late advices from fcw York indicate that Coler ia making the gain wIch was predicted for him the first of the week, and many such, advices have, been conveyed to the Pres ident. The President's declaration of contempt for Republican voters In Washington wh.Q would work to defeat a member of their own party, belonging to another faction, in preference to a Democrat, is bcln spread broadcast over Wisconsin, partic ularly In behalf of Senator Spooner, Tvho is believed to be In grave danger because of factional differences In tlie state. It was supposed, up to a week ago, when Governor La Follette so bitterly at tacked Spooner, that factionalism had been In a measure subdued. That speech, however, has fanned the smoldering dla affection Into a flame, and there Is con- VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET Piesldent Roosevelt, on recently being asked If he did not think party regu larity should be the rule In Washing ton, replied: "One might go farther than that and say that when he found 'Republicans who were more anxious to defeat the candidates of their party for factional reasons than they were to bring about a solid Republican victory at the polls, then he was 'done with them. A Re publican worthy of tho name." he de clared with feeling," would not knife a ticket for factional reasons." slderable fear that as a result Spooner factlonists may now take rei'enge by withholding their support from La Fol lette on election day, while on the other hand the followers of the Governor may vote for Democratic members of the Leg islature. If this Is done, Spooner has no chance for re-election. ' The President's declaration regarding factionalism in the Republican party la being used by both factions In Wisconsin, as it Is in Washington. The President certainly gave no Indication thnt he sym pathized with either faction in Washing ton, or recognized one in preference to the other. He spoke for the general good of the party, hoping- that both would make party interests paramount on elec tion day. Tho Democratic Congressional commit tee Is closing Its work by sending out' personal letters to local politicians In doiiotful states telling them that the re sult depends upon getting out the Dem ocratic voters and urging upon them the importance of activity on election day. Publicly, Chairman Griggs claims the next House by a majority of 16 sure. Privately, it is admitted at Democratic headquarters that they have no hopes of carrying the House, although there Is a chance of electing- Coler In New York by a slim majority.

In a discussion of the outlook with A. S.'
