CORBETT J. HE Bill 1111 Registration Procedure Con fuses Many Who' Learn They Cannot Ballot. WOMEN ARE COMPLAINANTS Some Try to Change Party Affil iation Stream of Inquiries Tte- celved at Courthouse From Indignant Citizens. Tith a-vote of about 61 per cent of the total registration of the county indicated, Multnomah County people took a keen interest in the primary .election yesterday. While voting waa light early in the day it became more active later on. and by 5 o'clock last night fully 50 per cent. of. the registra tion iid been represented by the voters. Hot contests, for nomination to many, of the offices during the campaign stimulated interest in the outcome and brought out rather a heavy vote for a primary election. After the sound and fury of the campaign, however, yesterday marked a restful and com paratively quiet day that was welcomed by all. Late afternoon and early evening marked the heaviest voting yesterday. Men came from offices and business places at the usual hour and cast their votes on the way home. Women voted early as a rule, the morning vote be ing ia-gely that of women, while the afternoon vote was "heavily feminine. The woman vote was big: yesterday, indicating that the state's newest voters are taking an interest In poli tics and are expressing their opinions at the polls. Voting Goes Smoothly.. In a tour of all voting places in the city, County Clerk Coffey found the voting machinery working perfectly, without any hitches of importance. Election boards were on the Job, and facilities were all that could be de sired. Te.ts used for polling places, so much in evidence in former years, were dispensed with, and garages and va cant stores served the purpose much better. Thoxe were, however, individual complaints incident to a primary elec tion on the part of voters who had irqt registered properly, or had failed to comply ith the law in some respect thnugh fault of their own.. A constant stream of questions, com plaints and requests for corrections poured in all day long upon Dan Greg ory, chief of the registration bureau of County Clerk Coffey's office. Women unused to the ways of poli tics were the chief seekers for infor mation. Many wanted to know what precinct they were in, having lost their registration cards; where the voting place was in their precinct; any number wanted to change the party affiliation they had given when they registered, and so on, ad infinitum. Some Try to Change Party. A woman who had registered as a Prohibitionist made a personal visit to the office and sought to change her political affiliation so she could vote in the primary election, and was much distresxed when she found she could not do eo. Numerous voting places ir various parts of the city reported visits from independents who were amioua to vote, but who could not be permitted to do so under the law. Prohibitionists were also in this same predicament, and in numerous cases these people without a party represented at the primaries were not slow to voice their indigna tion at not being allowed to cast their ballots. In Precinct 43 two Progressives were registered, and the total party strength in that district of the city voted. Pro gressive votes were scattering when compared to the other parties, the Re publicans, of course, being overwhelm ingly in the lead. One woman, refused the right to vote at her polling place when she presented herself yesterday afternoon, in high dudgeon telephoned County Clerk Cof fey's office to demand why her name was not on the registration books. She recalled distinctly, she said, that she had signed the registration roll, and thought she was being done out of her political rights. It Was Petition She Signed. She finally reoalled that she had signed the registration roll just outside the Courthouse door, and the fact came out that when she thought she was signing the registration record she must have signed the petition of some candidate for office. The woman went home fully satisfied that she had done her duty as a citizen and had registered, but when voting time rolled around she learned the bitter truth that she was not eligible to a ballot. It took her some time yes terday to understand the full signifi cance of the situation. Candidates, mostly, voted "early in their respective precincts yesterday, seeking in this way to set a good ex ample to their several followings. The day for candidates was not a particu larly restful one, for there was so much uncertainty in the situation that their minds kept constantly dwelling on their chances of success. One candidate viewed the situation philosophically. "The jury is out," he said; "why worry until we get the verdict?' . An old sl captain, resldont In liusrby England, noticing tnat the engine of a train on the London Ac Northwestern railway bore the name of Dachshund, wrote to the rail way company suggesting: that,- as an act ot patriotism, the name should be chanced. The , engine has now been renamed Bull- oog. ALL rVI DFITTIMG Silk gloveS Women acquainted ith Fownes quality in kinds of cloves, are ' demanding Fownes silk gloves, with reason.
