Various were the political prophets encountered yesterday in The Ore gonian's informal canvass of votes for presidential choice among groups of Portland men and women. From the declaration that "none of the can didates are any good" to "any of them except Bryan will do," were beard as people cast their ballots. Yesterday's poll was taken among employes of the Stevens and Wor cester buildings and in the vicinity of Fourth and Stark streets, in the latter place only men being stopped and asked their choice. Major-General Leonard Wood was the high candidate among men in the Stevens- building, while Herbert Hoover was strong with the women voters. Hiram Johnson got no votes among those seen there. Governor Ed wards. New Jersey "wet," was first in the hearts of the democrats and William Oibbs McAdoo second. Hoover was favorite with the voters in the Worcester building and there, again. General Wood revealed much strength, with Johnson in third place. McAdoo was high man with demo crats. Edwards being second and Will iam Jennings Bryan a weak third. Hoover Klmt Choice. On the- street In the vielr.ity of T"ourth and Stark. Hoover was in the lead. General Wood holding second place and Johnson the third position on the republican side. Woodrow Wil son led the democratic sheet. Edwards the, second and McAdoo third. One man in the Stevens building eaid he thought Taft or Hughes would prove to be the "dark horse." "Of course." said this man, "Lowden will probably give the others a run for their money, but most of the can didates now running are merely pace eetters. Women in the Stevens building were nearly all for Hoover and lost no time in indicating him as their choice. An ex-service man said he thought he ought to vote for Wood and an other man mentioned Taft as the "dark horse," saying that he was so opposed to Johnson that he would prefer first to vote for Wilson, even though as he said, he was a "good republican." "Of those now in the field," said this man, "I think I'd vote for Low den, right how, but Taft is the logi cal 'dark horse.' " The Stevens building vote was as follows: Hoover, 11; Hughes. 1; Low den. 2;' Taft. 3; Wood. 15; Edwarde, 3; McAdoo, 1. Comments in Worcester building were as follows: A woman suggested Hobson as a candidate for president. One man said: "Oh, none of them are any good." Another said: "My choice is between Hoover. McAdoo, Taft and Lowden. I can't say now which of the four I'd " vote for; but I'd work tooth and nail against either Wood or Johnson." . One man said: "Oh. anybody at all but Bryan." Another said: "Hoover for first choice and Wileon for second." One man, a republican, said he'd vote for Hoover, even if he ran as a i democratic candidate. i An army man who voted for Low den said: "Anybody but Wood." Wild Man" Wanted. Another army man said he wanted to vote for "the wildest man in the lot Johnson," because he figured it would take a wild man to hold down the job this lime. The Worcester building vote was: Hoover, 19; Hughes, 1; Johnson. 10; Lowden, 7; Pershing, 1; Taft. 6; Wood. 14; Bryan, 1; Edwards, 2; McAdoo, 7; Wilson, S. In the voting on the sidewalks in the vicinity of Fourth and Stark, there was considerable comment, much of it caustic and a good many men declined to state a choice. "I don't care to say who I favor." said one man as he paused briefly to eee what was going. "I am a repub lican, generally speaking, but I want to see the best business man one who will represent no one faction elected to the presidency. "Teddy Roosevelt always spoke mighty well of his friend. General Wood, and that's enough for me," said one man. "I do not know any of the candidates personally and. in that case, shall vote f or "Wood. Just to keep faith with my one great choice Roosevelt." "It is about time the west was hav ing some one who will think of the country in terms other than New Tork and a few other big centers of popu lation," commented another man. "Af fairs are rapidly shaping themselves to a point where the Pac.ific coast will be a mighty big factor in world commerce and de-stiny and for that reaeon. I want to see Hiram Johnson In the White House." Another man holding much the same view as to importance of having a western man or some one with a good knowledge of the west, voted for Hoover. One peculiar feature of the vote at Fourth and Stark was the unusually large number of votes cast for dera- -ocratic candidates. The vote was as follows: Coolidge, 2; Hoover, IS; Harding, 2; Hughes, 3; Johnson, 12; Lowden, 8; Pershing, 2; Poindexter, 1; Taft. 6: Wood, 13; Bryan. 4; Cox, 1; Edwards, 7; Gerard. 2; McAdoo, t; Palmer, 2; Pomerene. 1: Wilson, 8.

At any rate theee" natives of New Zealand are fine specimens' of man hood and womanhood, endowed with character and intellect of the finest.

CS iiipi W) I t f W, V.;i. m- - v A WORLD REBUILT By the Golden Rule not by the Rule of Gold WHAT ARB the most precious elements in American Life ? Respect for the home? Jesus found women slaves; He made them companions. Down through the ages His Church has been the champion of women's rights and aspirations. Respect for the man who works? It was the Carpenter of Nazareth who gave labor its great charter. "You are sons of God," He said. In that sentence Democracy was born. Respect for property? Modern business is credit; and credit is character. All that makes property safe in the world is bound up in the reverence for law that religion breeds. Respect for education? Who gave America her colleges? They were founded by Chris tian ministers, almost all of them. On these great essentials must we build a better America, and a better world. And every one of them rests on the foundations of the Christian Church. Thirty denominations of that Church are uniting now in a simultaneous campaign. They are uniting because the task before the Church is too great for any one denomination ; because there must be no duplication of effort; no waste. They have had the courage to survey the whole task, and to ask for a budget large enough to sustain (1) the work abroad, (2) the work at home including the Church's part in the huge task of Americanization. (3) the colleges and (4) hospitals supported by the Churches, (5) the religious training of the young, and to provide (6) a living wage for the Church's ministers. The appeal is to every lover of America, to yov whether you are inside the Church or out. The re. building of the world is a spiritual task. Faith must be the cornerstone on which the new foundations are laid true; the measuring rod by which the builders build must be the Golden Rule.
