COUP MAY BE MEDITATED With New Registration Law Not in Effect TTntil 1914 It Is Pointed Out That Progressives May Switch for Primaries. The prevailing dullness in the white hope market does not appear to have affected seriously the optimism of W. S. U'Ren, single-tax advocate and, at tne last Presidential election, a sup porter of Theodore Roosevelt, who is ad mittedly basing his campaign for Gov ernor of Oregon largely on the hope of receiving the Republican nomination at the primary next May. There has been considerable doubt heretofore aa to whether Mr. U'Ren would run as a Republican, despite his lunations witn tne Progressive camp In November, or as an Independent can didate. This doubt was set at rest yesterday by Mr. U'Ren himself, when he said at his home in Oregon City that he would make the race as a Republican. Mr. U'Ren said he did not see that ine iact that he voted for Roosevelt for President should cut any figure in the question of his Republicanism. He Is relying on the support of the so called Progressive membership of the Republican party in the state to give him the nomination over opposing can didates of what he terms the "reac tionary- wing. Distinction Is Drawn. "While I voted for Roosevelt last year," Mr. U'Ren exnlatriori -r left the Republican party. I have been r.epuoiican ever since being in the Populist party some 13 years ago, and I was a Republican hefnro th.t it would be rather a sneaking thing to change now to the Progressive party just to get in office, wouldn't it? I .Tt f ever aone tnat kln" of business I did not support Taft, but the Re publican ticket in the state was satis factory to me arid I voted for it. am what would be called a very pro gressive Republican, no doubt, but the F.ueressive wing of the Republican party will control next year. Certain ly no standpatter or reactionary will get the nomination for Governor i ',heJ? the eneral election is over, jouii find that the progressive Re publican party will get most of the offices. This does not mean the Progressive-Republican nsrlv 4,. in from the sentiments expressed by national leaders, there will be no amalgamation of the parties. There will probably be enough Progressives h.J T T OI"ces. as the Democrats have done in the past. "I am well satisfied with my own prospects, which are improving all the Progrreaalve Conn Mr' T1rVeK?rded as hIehly likely' that "? is countlnS on the votes as -ttepu oilcans" of manv voters who were registered as Tro Kressivea In iMnvomi Ti . - - - uci. it ia easy to see how many Progressives would be IXi to registering as Re DUbliCann fnr V. . . . wo pi iiiiary , Just as Democrats have been doing at every - tue primary law ve-t into effect, if they saw thereby a chance 1 of nominating a man like U'Ren audi Party1" contr0,1 of the Republican The new permanent registration law might make this difficult, or at least fafrassing, were " not 'or the fact tnat the machinery of the law will not go nto full effect until the general election of 1914. Under this law all voters must reglstetr before the 1914 general election, no matter whether now registered or not, but after" that they are registered only In case they change their party or residence, or do not vote at any election within the biennial period. It would be much less embarrassing to change back to Pro gressive from Republican after this pri mary at leisure if the desired results were not attained, than to have to re register solely to change party affilia tion prior to the primary, as would be the case, if the law had been in effect through a previous election. Progressive Label Desired. Some additional interest in Mr. URens candidacy was lent Satyrday by the visit in Portland of Medlll Mc Cormick. of Chicago, prominent in the councils of the National Progressive party, and the fact that the two held a conference here. Mr. McCormick said afterwards, however, that the confer ence had no relation to Mr. Unen's can t dldacy. He added also that whatever might be done in different states, to have the support of the Progressive party Na tionally, a candidate ' must bear the Progressive label. Though Mr. U'Ren's candidacy for Governor has been no secret for sev eral months, it was formally announced only last Thursday at a single tax Thl erfin the Y- M- a catena. byVs" Tj. lay?enCemeDt Wa" made U7 1111111 1 ; - mT 1 V L 1 1 11 1 " --- uriAL.j .
