Chairman Ayer. of the Portland Taft committee, and the managers of the campaigns of the other Presidential candidates, are desirous of getting out th fullest possible rote. Kach be lieves success for the cause he repre sents depends on the fullest possible expression of the electorate. Mr. Ayer yesterday Issued the following final ap peal to voters to get to the polls and vote today: I want to make a last appeal to the voters of the state to consider very carefully all of the Issues Involved In the Presidential contest before they cast their ballot In Friday's election. Vetera I rgrd Think. "In conducting the Taft campaign, it was been our policy to take the public into our confidence and truthfully tell them Lb situation exactly as we view it. I would again urge upon the voters to ask themselves why President Taft should not succeed himself: to ask themselves If the attitude of Theodore Roosevelt In the present contest meets with their approval and appeals to their Judgment: to ask themselves If Rob ert M. La t'ollette Is not too untried a man to entrust at this time with the affairs of the Nation. "The office of President of the I'nlted States Is the most important position on the face of the globe and the prosperity of the country Is so ab solutely tied up in the policies of the administration, that, in my judgment. It la altogether essential at this time that Mr. Taft should succeed himself Tafl'a Ability Acknowledge. "liven his most bitter opponents ac knowledge that he is better equipped today to fill the high position than at any otiier time In his career. "So far as this state is concerned, the question Is entirely In the hands of the people and I have a most abiding faith In the soundness of their Judg ment. "This committee has an organisation in every county In the state and re ports received indicate beyond all man ner of doubt President Taft will secure the Presidential preference vote in to morrow's election. 1 "I have said repeatedly during the campaign that a great responsibility rested upon the voters and the only way for them to fulfill their obligation is to vote. And I cannot be too em phatic In my request that every Taft voter vote." CLARK'S MANAGER CONFIDENT I'.arh-re Sajs Oregon Demorrals Will Vote for Missouri n. James T. Bar bee. chairman of the Champ "Clark campaign committee for Oregon, last night gave out the follow ing statement regarding the Missouri ana candidacy for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket and the probabil ity that he would receive the Indorse ment of his party In Oregon today: "The Clark campaign committee con fidently claims the state by a large majority. We do not concede a single county In the state to Woodrow Wil son. We have circulated a. great deal of clean Democratic campaign litera ture In Oregon. This has been fol lowed by a personal canvass of the state by the chairman of the commit tee. "We entered the campaign with the odd against otir candidate. Organt aationa had been formed and siatea made. The organizations have been confounded, the slates broken and the man with a message, a well-drilled ex perience In the practical administra tion of government, assuring to the Nation a harmonious co-operation with the Legislative Iepartment. has gone to the plain people on his record. "The fact that Mr. Clark was the leader of Democracy la, 110 and won his fight on the Issues of trusts and tariff taxation Is the best guarantee we .have to offer that he la best eriisjpped la-lead hls party in 11 on the same Issues. To abandon these issues and our leader would be little short of cowardice and political sui cide. -There Is another element In Clark's public life which appeals strongly to Oregonlans. Mlssour Is practically the mother of Oregon. When this vast ter ritory was inhabited by coyotes and Indians, a few brave souls pioneered the way. Daniel Webster and other statesmen urged the abandonment of the territory. It was Senator Benton, a Missourlan. who said: 'No! We will keep It as a home for our children.' Children of Missouri have come here by the thousands and made homes. Champ Clark followed In the footsteps of his predecessor and has ever been a friend of Oregon. When this state wanted an irrigation ditch dug by the Government, he has helped her: when Oregon wanted to extend her com merce by deep water, be helped. When Portland wanted to make a display of the products of the country In Its Lewis and Clark exposition. Its dele gation went to Champ Clark for help and got It. In the face of these facts we don't believe In this crisis that Portland or the state will be ungrate ful. "To show the sentiment elsewhere, our committee Is In receipt of tele grams showing the growth of Clark sentiment. Mayor Head, of Louisville. Ky.. assures us that there will be no opposition to Clark In his state and that its I votes will be cast for Its native son. "Our advices from Pennsylvania do not confirm published reports. Wilson has 2$ Instructed votes In that state. The remainder are unlnstructed and a majority or them are for Clark. Ad vices from New Mexico say all the countlea in the state which have so far taken action are for Clark. In Iowa. Clark has 400 of the t7 dele gates to the state convention and un der the unit rule, the 2 votes In that state will be cast for him. "In Arkansas Clark has 300 to "Wil son's 3 In the state convention. This means another solid la votes In the Clark column. Advices from West ilr glnla. received this morning, assures a solid Clark delegation from that state. Theodore Bell, of California. wires that his state will go X to 1 for Clark. "The best news of all Is the follow ing telegram from Arthur F. Mullen, representing the Clark campaign com mittee in Nebraska: -Chamo Clark will carry Nebraska on the 19th and our great leader. Wll- iam J. Bryan, will head the Nebraska delegation, cheerfully accepting the In structions of his fellow Democrats to vote for and support the great Speak RUSHLIGHT FAVORS PRESIDENT Portland's Chief Executive Tells Why, in His Opinion, Taft Should Be Elected. PEOPLE'S REWARD EARNED ayf:r ' DKXorxcES coiaxej Kooeevelt'a Message Branded as ' "Unadulterated gall" placed by W to Oregon Is Gall." Is the estimate B. Avar, chairman of the Portland Taft committee, on the latest contribution of Theodore Roosevelt. In which the ex-President In a telegram nddressed to the voters of Oregon preached his progresslveness. Previ ous messages of a Ilka tenor from the ex-President were disregarded by the Taft supporters. But the concluding composition of Roosevelt yesterday moved Chairman Ayer to the follow ing oomment: "For pure, unadulterated gall. Roose velt's telegram is entitled to first place. There are thousands of men In Irregon who were fighting to place our progressive laws on the statute books when Theodore Roosevelt was denounc ing the measures from the housetops. These men today are supporting either President Tsft or Senator La Follette for the Presidency. Roosevelt is aivj eleventh-hour convert who ts advocat ing these measures for the sole purpose of securing votes. His attitude re minds me of a story: "The other day In an Arizona mining town, the only restaurant had the fol lowing sign displayed: 'Pies and cakes, sucb as mother used to make." A com. nelitor opened another restaurant across the street and put up this sign: "Pies and cakes, better than mother made." "The miners made short shift of the competitor and ran him out of town. That Is Just about what the people or Oregon Intend to do with Roosevelt to morrow." TAFT AND WILSON FAVORED Clnrkama County Primary Prom ises Llule Excitement. OREGON CITT. Or.. April 18.

Mr. Norblad. nowever. nas made a canvass of the district and he ajid his lieutenants say he will win. It Is confidently believed that a solid Taft delegation will be elected, and the Woodrow Wilson men say their candi date will receive the support of th majority of the Democratic voters. Champ Clark's followers, however, are equally as confident. The supporters of Roosevelt, Harmon and La Follette are not making any claims, but It Is believed and that the Wisconsin Sena tor's campaign in this state will In crease his strength In Clackamas County.

' Mayor Rushlight Is of the opinion that President Taft will be the winner in the preferential Presidential prima ries throughout me state today. He Is firmly convinced that Taft Is the man that should be again elected to-be the Chief Executive of the Nation. Giving several reasons for his conviction in this respect, he said yesterday: "Ever since the-Declaration of Inde nendence waa signed it has been an unwritten law that whenever the Na tlon's Chief Executive haa made good he should receive a second term. Mr. Taft has made good with the people. He Is progressive without being radi cal, and he has fairly earned the re ward that the American people offer to their Presidents. "The many policies that Mr. Taft has launched are not yet completed and no should be re-elected and given an op portunity to carry them out. No Presi dent -can accomplish all the great re forms that he would wish to during one term. "The unsettled conditions of the country are such that Immense amounts of capital have been withdrawn rrom general circulation and tied up In bonds and other securities, at a small rate of Interest. With the re-election of President Taft confidence will be restored and thla money will be used In lines of Industry that affect the whole country. "In mv opinion William Howard Taft is one of the most safe and sane men to guide the Nation's destinies at thla time, when there is so much un rest In the polltlcof the country and the people of this state will show their wisdom by sending a solid delegation pledged to him."

I shall greatly regret if the State of Oregon, which haa taken so prominent a place In leading the pro greaalva movement should now fail to record Itself on tha progressiva side. Let me again, call your attention to what haa hap pened In tha great Statea of Pennsylvania and Illinois. Either the man whom tha progressirea of Illinois, of Pennsylvania, of Maine, and of Oklahoma have supported will ba nominated by the Chicago convention, or else soma man chosen by the boaeev of the atamp of Meaara.
