PRICE OF LAKE NOT SET
WAY OUT IS BEING SOUGHT
J'o l'rovislon Made for Withdrawal
of Candidates Nominated in Iri
, maries, but Leaders Believe
Solution Can Be Found.
What will be the status of the Pro
frresslve Presidential electors nominat
ed at the recent Oregon primary if, as
row seems r Vbable, Charles tu.
Hughes, the Rep blican nominee, also
i.s made the Progressive party canal
date for President?
This is a question that is perplexing
both Republican and Progressive lead
ers in the state, and incidentally caus
ing more or less quiet amusement for
the Democrats.
It appears that the law makes no
provision for the withdrawal of a can
didate for office after the nominating
primaries. Under the legal restrictions
It will be necessary for two full sets
cf five Republican nominees and five
I'rogressive nominees to continue as
candidates for electors, even though
they have no common candidate for
J'resident.
Of course, if Colonel Roosevelt re
considers his decision to decline the
I'rogressive nomination and becomes
the candidate of that, party, or if the
I'rogressive National Committee places
Victor JIurdock or Governor Johnson,
of California, or some other person at
the head of their ticket, the five Ore
gon candidates will have a political
as well as a legal cause for their ex
istence. Hughes' Indorsement Expected.
It is presumed that the Colonel will
xtot be a candidate, and that the Pro
gressive committee will fall in line
with the rank and file of their party
and indorse the nomination of Hughes.
In that event the name of Hughes
will appear on the ballot in Oregon as
the Republican-Progressive nominee;
but the law does not make provision
for a combination of the candidates of
the two parties for Presidential elector.
Unless a way can be found to permit
the legal withdrawal of these candi
dates, the Republicans and Progres
sives will be confronted next Novem
ber with the dangerous situation of a
single Presidential candidate and 10
prospective electoral voters.
Situation Deemed Dangerous.
This situation is regarded as dan
Serous, because the Republican and
Progressive voters can unite in their
support of Hughes, and Hughes can
carry the state by a substantial plural
ity over Wilson, yet the vote on elec
tors could be so divided up among the
10 candidates that the five Democratic
electors would be elected.
Even though Hughes should carry
the state against Wilson, if the five
Democratic electoral candidates re
ceived more votes than the five high
est of the group of Republican and
Progressive candidates, Oregon's five
electoral votes would go to Wilson, and
It is possible for this to happen, unless
a. means can be found to permit the
withdrawal of either the Republican
group of five or the Progressive group
of five. In the interests of complete
harmony among the two parties it has
