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."

MALHEUR CONTESTS CLOSE
Hard Tights On for Prosecuting At
torney and Sheriff.
VALE, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.) 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. The race
for Sheriff is one of the most closely
contested. Ben Brown, the Democratic
incumbent, and Emory Cole, on the
Republican ticket, will undoubtedly
have a close run. The race for prose
cuting attorney Is also going to be
closely contested, with Duncan on the
Republican ticket, and Swagler on the
Democratic.
There has- been considerable betting
on the outcome of the election. Most
of the money put on Wilson has been

been put tip on Hughes.

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.

ject to immediate call until the crowds
have been moved homeward.
If the returns reflecting tho ultimate
outcome of 'the election come In so

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.

California Will Send 10,000 Tons
During Winter for 1917 Work.
Fearing that the scarcity of vessels
in the coastwise routes will still be
acute next year. California asphalt In
terests have started the delivery of
the flivt lot of 10.000 tons of asphalt
