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

Democrats have been doing at every

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

in a class of 20 from the National
