The polls will be open from S A. M. until T I. M. With each of the managers of the :!rre Republican candidates for Presi dent claiming the state for his choice ihe result admittedly IsdirTicult tu fore ell satisfactorily. Whatever strength l;Msevelt ever had In the state has "een badly disorganized and dissipated, primarily by the exposure of his du plicity to both President Taft and Sen vator La Follette. and the publication of his reiterated declarations that "under to circumstances" would he be a candl-i-te or accept another term. Further Invasion of the Roosevelt forces followed the visit of Senator La Follette who. In a whirlwind tour of the stale, haa been far more severe In his assaults on the ex-1'rrsldent than he was In his criticism of President I aft. Taft r-appartere Owtlsalatle. Supporters of President Taft feel con fident that the opposition vote to him will be divided fairly between Roose velt and La Follette. Insuring for Taft the Indorsement of the Republican voters of the atate. although, in their .pinion, that Indorsement was at no time in dancer of puln:; to either of tha President's rivals. Effective, organization work in behalf ff President Taft has been directed by the Portland Taft committee, of which W. R. Aver is chairman, with lle re sult that live, working clubs were formed In every county In the state. This means of educating the voters was agisted by the circulation of literature, exploiting the administration of Taft and his accomplishments. This was followed by a campaign of .-peech-maklng throush which the vot ers in nearly every large city of the elate heard an Impartial estimate of the President, what he has done for the country and why he should be re tained In office for another term to complete tha great work - he haa started. In this speech-making campaign, the voters heard two dlMincutshed orators from the East. Dr. John Wesley Hill. of New York, president of the Inter national Peace Forum: and Ralph D. t'ole. ei-Represcntative In Consrwss Irom Ohio. I -a Kellette Tsars Male. The La Follette people have distrib uted large quantities of campaign literature, but aro relying principally on the personal campaign of Senator La Follntt to win the state for their candi date. Failing to secure speakers from the East, the supporters of Roosevelt, through the state and Multnomah County organization, used the mails ex tenslvely and reached virtually every resrietered Republican voter In the state with literature. The only pub lie speaking In behalf of the ex-Preel-drnt was done by local spell-binders connected with the Multnomah County J;oosevelt committee. The contest on the Democratic sldo as to the Presidential Indorsement un questionably lies between Wood row Wilson and Champ CUrk. The New Jersey Governor Is being supported by Governor West and Is the choice of the major portion of the Democratic or ganlzation In this state. Supporters of Clark, however, will not concede the state to Wilson. They have made rigorous tight In every county In the state and feel confident the final count will give their candidate a good lead over Wilson. Selling's Msailaatlea Prewlcied. For 1'nlted States Senator on the Republican tlckrt. the contest early In the campaign resolved Itself Into race between Ben Selling and Senator Bourne. The Selling people express satisfaction with the situation, and are entirely contldent of landing the nomi nation for tho progressive Portland business man.
