TOTAL NOW IS 94,000 Democrats Lose 1781, While 4543 Are Added' to Republican Col umn 53S6 Fewer Men Reg- later, While Women Gain.. Republicans in Multnomah County have gained 4606 feminine votes since 1914: Democrats have grained 1618. Re publicans have lost only 63 masculine voters in two years: Democrats have lost 1796. Republicans number 4543 more than in 1914; Democrats, 178 less than two years ago. Official figures completed in the County Cleik's office yesterday show these facts and disclose a heavy sain in women registered and a loss of mas ouline interest. . The final registration after changes of address have been checked up and duplications eliminated shows a total of 94,000, even, voters for the coming election. This number is 2446 less than in '1914. in spite of the fact that 2940 more women are registered this year than two years ago. The reason lies in the fact that the men registered are 6386 less than in 1914. Duplications Rednn Total, The first official announcement of the registration has been lessened, as it was asserted was probable, by 258 names by reason of the discovery of du plications. Carl Massey. head bookkeeper in County Cleric Coffey's office, has com piled the most complete registration record yet kept in the county. It shows the number of voters on the East Side, as distinct from the West Side, and the number of the county outside of Port land. This table shows an East Side regis tration of 64.395; West Side voters totaling 24,768, and voters outside the city numbering 4837. In all districts the women gained, but the heaviest percentage of gain was outside of Port land. .The West Side women showed much more interest, proportionately, than the East Side.

Ex-Senator Tells of Effect of I'nder . wood Tariff Bill. Speaker Says Great Crista Impend. HEFPSER, Or.. Oct. 17. (Special.) Six hundred voters of Morrow County gathered at the Star Theater in this city last night at which Charles W. Fulton, of Portland, delivered an ad dress on the shortcomings of the Dem ocratic Administration. "In a quarter of a century the Amer ican people have not faced a greater crisis than now," said Mr. Fulton. "The 1 'emocratic Administration has proved wholly inadequate to serve the best in terests of the people. Since that party has come into power the cost of living has advanced 33 1-3 per cent. In 1913 the Underwood tariff bill was passed. This was 10 months before the war. At that time this country held in the bal ance of trade $600,000,000. Soon after industries here began U languish and our balance of trad..rll off $342,000,000. Three million men were thrown out of employment. In this length of time 60 per cent of the railroad mileage in the United States had gone into the hands of the receiver. In the industrial world there were 18,400 failures and foreign imports increased 400 per cent. "Then the war broke out. With the war came the increased demand for American products. Even at that, it took the combined armies of Europe more than a year to arrest the oncom ing Democratic depression. After the war this country will have to meet the rrost severe competition the world has ever known. There will be no war de mand for our products. The Republi can party is the only party that will be able to meet the crisis. CORPORATION SHOWS LOSS Tortland Railway, Light & Power Company Files Statement. SALEM. Or., Oct. 17. (Special.)

Registration figures of Coos County show the proportion of Repub licans and Democrats is from 2V4 to 3 to 1, with the Republicans on the long end of the records. The Republican central committee is of the opinion that when the votes are counted in November they will show a clear Re- publican plurality of 2000 for the Na tional ticket. This estimate is based on the registration and private inves tigations. There is the working class, however. to be considered. It is said many who are registering as Republicans among the laborers will vote for Wilson, but It is not believed the estimate of 2O00 will be reduced, even with such de fections.

'The Golden Spread:' 1 CHURCH MAY REOPEN Old Taylor-Street Congrega tion Plans Final Effort. PETITION BEING PREPARED New Superintendent to Be ' AtUed to Act and Hopes Are High That Pioneer Methodist Worship House May Again Open. -The congregation of the old Taylor- stseet Methodist Church will make one more effort to preserve the church body and will ask that their. closed cnurcn be given back to them. A small committte, headed by Samuel Connell, was named two weeks ago to formulate ome plan, if possible, to re open the old church at Third and Tay lor streets. The new superintendent 01 Portland district. Rev. W. W. Youngson, will be petitioned by this committee and hopes are high that, with new of ficials in charge of the district, some thing may result from this latest at tempt. Members of the committee declined to discuss the matter in any detail yes terday. It was admitted that some such move is on foot. It is recognized that Superintendent Youngson cannot grant their request off-hand; it would rather be in his province to make recommendations looking to a resump tion of church activities by the old rrnun that worshiped at Taylor-street Church. If the committee can submit anything that will be acceptable. It is felt he may use his good oil ice to rec mend its adoption. It iff- thought likely that church authority may be asked for the re establishment of the old congregation under Borne such name as "Third and Taylor Pioneer Church." There is a rumor, too, to the effect that if this last attempt of the "In surgents," as they are known, to re establish themselves as a distinct church body in the old edifice at Third and Taylor streets falls, that several hundred members or tne first unurcn will cut themselves off absolutely from that body. This proposed action can not be confirmed by members of the group. In a way, the old Taylor-street con gregation is maintaining a separate or ganization, for worship is beipg held regularly in the hall at 129 Fourth street. On last Sunday there was a congregation of 116 assembled at the regular service. The threatened schism in the church body will be averted if the request of the "Insurgents" is granted and a sepa rate chnrch organization granted.
