PORTLAND FIGHT CENTER Democrats Declare Tliey Will Carry State" by 1O.O0O, Basing Claims on "Silent Vote" Re-election of Representatives Indicated. fConflnuefl Prom First Page. rood margin, because of the conceded Oheavy Hughes vote in the Willamette Valley counties. Whereas the Demo crats, to have any hope of winning the state, must carry Multnomah County by a. big majority. This has been recognized by both Bides in the campaigning, for the heavy work has been done in this county. Both sides have sent some of their strongest speakers to Oregon, and, with lew exceptions, they have limited their campaign activities to Multnomah County. For the Republicans, in addition to the two nominees themselves, such men as ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Gif ford Pinchot, H. D. Estabrook, Senator Tv'orris, of Nebraska, and ex-Senator Theodore Burton, of Ohio, have made campaign addresses in Oregon, the lat ter having spoken outside of Portland. Noted Democrat Visit. The Democrats have been particularly ctive, with such speakers as ex-Senator Charles A. Towne, Judge Albert D. Nor toni. Secretary of Labor Wilson and Eainbridge Colby, in Portland, and Senator pore outside of Portland. Oregon's two Democratic United States Senators, George E. Chamber Jain and Harry Lane, also have been called home to assist in the campaign ing, in addition to several lesser lights. But with the subsidence of all this campaign fireworks on both sides, the five electoral votes of Oregon, the first ttate to express Its choice for Charles E. Hughes in a primary election, seem a certainty in the Hughes column. JIcrr Predict 25,000 Lead. In a pre-election statement last night Judge Charles L. McNary, of Salem, chairman of the Republican State Cen tral Committee, claims the state for Hughes by at least 25.000 votes. "Cdnfidence that Governor Charles Evans Hughes and the entire Repub lican ticket will be successful In Ore pon was never so strong as at this clos ing hour of the campaign," said Judge McNary. "Advices have been received at Re publican state headquarters from every county in the state that harmony pre vails and that the small defections In cident to every campaign will be off set by Democratic accessions. "Harmony has obtained in the or ganization work throughout the state, and- unless all political signs prove false a Republican plurality of 25,000 In Oregon is inevitable." Democratic Claim Is lO.OOO. Judge Samuel White, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, on the other hand, claims the state for Wilson by 10.000. Said Judge White: "I think the state will go for Wood row Wilson by at least 10,000, and maybe 20.000. I claim Multnomah County unquestionably by a substantial majority. Conditions which prevail in Multnomah County are no different than those which prevail In every other county of the state. If anything Wil son is stronger inthe rural sections than in Multnomah. "The Hughes forces have developed their full strength, which is by no means equal to the developed strength of the Wilson forces." Judge White also asserted that the "silent vote," composed largely of Pro gressives and Independents, would, in his judgment, go for Wilson. Much Hughes Money Not Taken. At no time have the betting odds generally been lower than 10 to 8, and from there up to 2 to 1, except. in iso lated cases, on Hughes to carry Ore Iton. Most of the considerable betting tione in Portland has been on general results, with much Hughes money re maining untaken on election eve. Oregon is one of only seven states that does not elect a Govern r this year. After President, greatest inter est on tha Oregon ballot centers in the three Representatives in Congress. The re-election of all three incum bents, W. C. Hawley in the First Dis trict, X. J. Blnnott in the Second Dis trict, and C. N. McArthur in the Third District, all being Republicans, is 6trongly indicated. In the Second District Representa tive Sinnott has practically no opposi tion. In the Third District there hne been a three-cornered race between Representative McArthur. John A. Jef frey, the Democratic nominee, and A. W. Lafferty. The contest seems to lie between McArthur and Jeffrey, with McArthur leading. In the First District Representative Hawley is in no danger. Prohibition la Again Inane. Oregon is one of eight states that will vote today on state-wide prohibi tion. the others being Michigan. Mis souri, Calfornia, Montana, Nebraska and South Dakota. The territory of Alaska is also voting on prohibition. In Montana, the vote is on a prohi bition law. In the other states it is on a prohibition amendment to the re spective state constitutions. Idaho already has state-wide prohibition of the "bone dry" brand, but it is prohi bition by legislative enactment and not by constitutional amendment. A pro hibition amendment to the state con Etitutlon Is now on the ballot. The Oregon prohibition amendment Is an amendment to the present prohi bition amendment, that would prohibit the importation of any liquor into the state, each family at present being per mitted to import two quarts of spiritu ous liquor or 24 quarts of beer in any 2S days. 'Brewers Amendment Doomed. There is also on the ballot the so called "brewers' amendment" to permit the manufacture and sale in Oregon of beer containing 4 per cent of alcohol. This measure will unquestionably be defeated by a big vote. There is more doubt about the so-called "bone dry" prohibitory amendment. R. P. Hutton, superintendent of the Oregon Anti-Saloon League, In a state ment yesterday predicted that thi brewers' amendment would be swamped by a majority of 48.000 votes, and that the "bone dry" prohibition amendment would carry by 8000 to 10.000 majority, "Reports from every county received at Anti-saloon League headquarters. said Mr. Hutton, "presage a majority of 61,050 against the brewers' amend ment. but to be conservative I have cut that to 48,000. "These same reports give a majority In favor of the 'bone dry" amendment of 12.250.. I have cut that to 8000 to 10,000 votes to be on the conservative Fide. "The brewers' amendment will lose In every county. The 'bone-dry' amend ment will carry 24 counties, lose in six and be virtually even in five others. I estimate that Multnomah County will give a majority of 10,000 votes against the "bone dry' amendment, Clatsop about 500 against. Curry 200 against, Gilliam 100 against, Lincoln 500 against and Polk 200 against, with results even in Columbia, Josephine, Wasco, Washing ton and Yamhill. "The other 24 counties, however, I expect to give majorities in its favor that will wipe out this negative vote and carry the amendment by 8000 to 10,000 votes." Still another state now having pro hibition which will vote on a measure similar to the Oregon "brewers' amend ment" is Washington. Measure 24 on the Washington ballot Is practically the same as the Oregon brewers' amend ment. A measure is also on the Wash ington ballot. No. 18, to permit hotels to dispense liquor under certain re strictions. Single Tax Again on Ballot. It would be an unusual election in Oregon that didn't find a single tax measure in disguise somewhere on the ballot. This election is no exception. The single tax measure masquerades under the alluring title, "Full Rental Value Land Tax and Homemakers' Loan Fund Amendment." It is confiscatory in its provisions, and a vigorous cam paign of education has been carried on against it. To vote against this single tax meas ure, the voter should mark 307 No. One of the dangers in connection with this single- tax amendment is that it can easily be confused with the rural credits amendment, which has received many strong Indorsements. The ballot numbers of the rural credits amend ment are 318 Yes, and 319 No. Of the varfious remaining amend ments on the ballot, those in which there Is greatest interest include that repealing and abolishing the Sunday closing law, 312 Yes, 313 No, and the state-wide tax and indebtedness limi tation amendment, limiting tax levies to 6 per cent greater than that of the previous year, 320 Yes, 321 No. Rapid Count Expected. Local initiative measures appear on the ballot in some counties, but tha 10 constitutional amendments mentioned are the oi.ly i.. ensures that will be on the Multnomah County ballot. Though it ie quite a long ballot, to day's ballot is mucn shorter than the one at the Presidential election four years ago. At that time there were 42 measures to 10 now, and there were more local candidates than there are this year. Consequently the count should be correspondingly more rapid. That voters may know the provisions of the corrupt practices act. District Attorney Evans yesterday prepared the following list of "Election Day Don'ts." Here they are: 1. No political tdge. button or other In signia shall be worn at or about the polls on arw .lantlnn rinv " 2. No person shall pay another lor any loss or damage due to attendance at polls, or for the expense of transportation to or from the polls. J.

The feeling is intense throughout Malheur County over the coming election, and some of the local officials are making a hard fight for re-election.

VILLA SAID TO HAVE CAPTURED TDRREON Mexican Refuges at El Paso Report Reign of Terror in Interior Cities. WOMEN BURNED TO DEATH Killing of Aged American Doctor Is Confirmed Atrocities Commit ted at Parral Chihnahna Now Feels Safer. EL PASO, Tex.. Nov. 6. (Special.) Villa bandits have captured Torreon and are carrying on their campaign of terror which marked the Villlstas' oc cupancy of other cities recently, ac cording to arrivals tonight from the interior. Three Torreon merchants, who attempted to send their goods out of tho city on the approach of the ban dits, were put to death by Villa's order, the refugees say. Before reaching Chihuahua, the ar rivals say, they were told by Mexicans fleeing from Parral that Villa had caused oil to be poured on the heads of two women who had angered him. and had set Are to the oil-soaked hair, making the women human torches. With heads ablaze, the two women ran screaming through the town until they dropped exhausted and quickly died. Dr. Fisher's Death Confirmed. Refugees from the Santa Rosalia dis trict confirmed today the reported Killing by Villlstas of Dr. Fisher, an aged American physician, who for 30 years has been treating the poor peo ple without charge. He was stabbed to death by Villa bandits because he would not give them $2000 American money he was eaid to have hidden in his home. Francisco Villa and his main com mand are marching toward Mesa de Sandias, 35 miles southwest of Parral, where a quantity of ammunition and arms and a large drove of horses are known to be hidden for the Villa forces, according to an American refu gee from Chihuahua City. These are hidden on the ranch of General Thomas Urbina, the Villa general who was killed by Villa troops because he would not divide his loot with Villa. Chihuahua Keels Safer. It was in the direction of Mesa de Sandias that Villa was going when he was being pursued by Major Tompkins and his command when Major Tomp kins' command was attacked by a crowd -of civilians in Parral. Passengers arriving tonight from Chihuahua City said that the feeling of apprehension among the people there had been greatly allayed because of the arrangements of General Trevlno to protect the city against surprise. Cannon still dominate the approaches of the city from Santa Rosalia Hill, they added, and the only field guns on cars are those belonging to the armored train that Is kept in readiness should the Villa forces come within striking distance. No reports have been yet received regarding the Americans in Parral, they said, but refugees from Santa Rosalia confirmed the death of Dr. C. H. Fisher, an American, at the hands of the bandits who raided the place. MAIL LOCK THEFT CHARGED Two at Roseburg to Be Tried In Fed eral Court In Portland. ROSEBURG. Or.. Nov. 6. (Special.)

CITY TAX TO BE 9 MILLS (Continued From First Page.l probably the loss of the one-day-off-in-flve plan. On presenting his plan Mayor Albee said he thought It extremely poor pol icy to cut out policemen, firemen and street lights. "You gentlemen have the power and you can go as far as you like. The more you cut the more policemen, firemen and detectives are dropped. In view of the conditions on the Coast, as evidenced yesterday at Everett. I cannot see the wisdom of it." Commissioner Daly submitted his re vised estimate with $10,000 worth of street arc lights cut out and with $13. 000 cut out of his Street-cleaning bud get and $2000 from the garbage in cinerator. He said the cuts mean less street cleaning and less work at the incinerator. He said it may be possible to prevent shutting off lights, but the elimination of the $10,000 brings the total allowance down that much under what the lights will cost if all are operated the full year. Mr. Blgelow Abore I.lmlt. Commissioner Blgelow submitted his cuts in tho form of cuts entirely in items of supplies and materials, with no salary cuts. He did not get up to the full & Jier cent in his bureau. Commissioner Baker arranged his cuts so that $1000 will come off the appro priation for park band concerts, leav ing $5000 in the fund, and other amounts off salaries and supplies. Among other things, he cut out one park stenographer, one part time jan itor at the City Hall, three months' time off one stenographer in .the legal bu reau, one junior engineer, one arbor culturlst, three assistant park keepers. Playground Supervisor Thompson, one swimming Instructor, one part time park helper and $500 in feed for ani mals at the Washington Park zoo, the plan being to get rid of some of the animals. His cuts totaled 111.821. Mx. Baker left in about $8000 for establishment of a comfort station at Second and Washington streets. This Is virtually the only special appropria tion in any of the departmental bud gets. ' Mr. Dleclc Cats Off S1S.312. Commissioner Dleck has eliminated $18,312 to date. He has not worked out the details, but says about $7500 of this is in salaries In his department and $10,500 in supplies and materials. Just before tho Council decided on the 9-mill levy and decided to adopt the cuts as submitted. Mayor Albee said he wished to be recorded as voting "no." "I am writing on the edge of my re port." said the Mayor, "I hereby shift the responsibility. We have made mis takes individually and collectively, and this is the biggest blunder we have ever made, either Individually or col lectively." So far the 5 per cent cut plan has not been forced against Commissioner Daly's water bureau. Mr. Baker raised the question yesterday of whether this should not be cut 6 per cent. "It comes out of the same people who pay taxes, does It not?" asked Mr. Baker. "res," said Mr. Daly, "and if you want 6 per cent trimmed out I can do it very easily." He explained that he would cut It out of Items for pur chase of property. The Council took no aotlon on this. The meeting this morning will bo at 10 o'clock.
