Much Hangs on Action at
Polls Today.
PARTY LINE-UP PROMISED
Republicans to Pick Wood,
Lowden or Johnson.
DEMOCRATS FACE PUZZLE
Either President or Senator Cham
berlain to Be Repudiated 'by
Party Action Here.
Oregon republicans will decide to
day whether Wood, Lowden or John
son is their choice for the nomination
for president. This is the outstand
ing issue in the republican primaries.
Oregon democrats today will repu
diate either President Wilson or Sen
ator Chamberlain on the treaty of
Versailles issue.
These two things alone justify a
heavy attendance at the polls, which
will be open from 8 A. M. to 8 P. M.,
ut there are other matters which
.arrant every one of the 228,571 reg
istered republicans and 93,405 regis
tered democrats casting a vote. The
additional reasons are the measures
which have been submitted to the
electorate by the legislature. These
measures affect the entire state and
every person in it. Among others
there are the educational bills and the
measure to forward the state highway
programme.
Count Will Be Slow.
In Portland every person attending
the polls will receive three ballots.
the regular party ballot, the state
ballot of measures and the municipal
ballot with measures. With all these
ballots to handle, the returns will be
slow in coming In, and in the case of
close contests the issue will remain
in doubt until Saturday afternoon or
evening.
The parties today will name dele
Sates to the national conventions, ten
to each convention five presidential
electors, and maks nominations for a
United States senator, three repre
sentatives in congress, a choice for
president and vice-president, a secre
tary of state, four justices of the su
preme court, a dairy and food com
missioner, two members of the public
service commission, 16 members of
the state senate and 60 members of
the lower house. A number of cir
cuit judges and district attorneys will
be nominated throughout the state,
and every county will nominate prac
tically a full county ticket.
Few Contest Develop.
There are hundreds of aspirants for
the nominations, but only in a few
cases have contests developed. Candi
dates who have swung around the
state say they have failed to discover
marked interest in anything other
than the presidential race. On the
other hand, there has been a wide
spread campaign in support of the ed
ucational millage measures and for
the measure to increase the state's
limitation for road indebtedness from
3 to per cent. The general opinion
is that all these measures and' the
restoration of capital punishment in
cluded, will be approved by the people.
,Oa the eve of the primaries, the
management of the Wood, Lowden
and Johnson campaigns are confident
of victory. Although the names of
Poindexter and Hoover are on the re
publican ballot today, these men have
withdrawn as candidates and Hoover
has urged the selection of delegates
who favor a league of cations and a
plank calling for immediate treaty
ratification. Notwithstanding the with
drawal of Hoover and Poindexter,
considerable number of uninformed
people probably will vote for one or
the other of these former candidates.
Irtft Is Toward Wood.
Since Hoover eliminated himself the
drift has been to Wood, mostly, and
the Wood management has endeav
ored to narrow the contest down to
Wood and Johnson. This policy of
the Wood campaign has not met with
enthusiasm on the part of the Lowden
management. Peculiarly enough,
Lowden appears to be the second
choice of the Wood men and of the
Johnson men, too.
The league of nations, with reser
vations, has finally become the key
note of the primary campaign in Ore
gon in both parties. Republicans who
are opposed to an league are sup
porting Johnson. Republicans friend
ly to a league, with suitable reser
vations, are eupportlng either Wood
or Lowden. That is the situation with
the republicans. It is even more an
issue among the democrats. Senator
George K. Chamberlain is a. candidate
for renoraination. He supported the
treaty of Versailles until that ap
peared .hopeless and W. J. Bryan
urged, the democrats to compromise
so that some sort of treaty and league
could be had. Finally Senator Cham
berlains voted, for the lodge reserva
tions. Democratic Split Noted.
Political opponents of the senator
have received letters from President
Wilson declaring that the treaty of
Versailles is the only one a good
democrat should lupport, or words to
that effect. The Wilson letter is be-
irx used against Chamberlain and the
statement is made that a Wilson dem
ocrat taniot vote for Chamberlin, for
if tTfeamberlatn is nominated it will be

less Output Is Moved.
MARSHFIELD, Or.. May 20. (Spe
cial.) The car shortage is having a
disastrous effect upon industry in
this county and also on the Umpqua
river, and it is expected .the majority
of mills dependent upon cars for ship
ment will be closed within a week,
unless relief is afforded.
The North Bend Mill & Lumber com
pany plant closed Monday because its
docks were piled to capacity and to
day it was reported the Wernich &
Johnson mills at Coquille were not
sawing.
Similar reports have come from
Reedsport. The C. A. Smith mills here
will -not be affected by an Oregon car
shortage, as all its output is shipped
by water.
According to estimates, the num
ber of men - made idle by the sus
pensions exceeds 500 in this district
to date, but more will be thrown out
of work if the tension is not re
laxed.

Appeals to Police for Aid.
If there is anything in the super

Hwah Wu, visitor from China, now
lying at the Inman-Poulsen mill, will
henceforth have bad luck.
Good reason, too, for someone stole,
cage and all, the ship's mascot, a rare
Chinese bird by the name of Tien Tisu
lark.
The Portland -police and detective
bureau were implored yesterday by
Lieutenant Woo Seng Lee of the.
ship's crew to make every effort to
encompass the recovery of the bird,
which was taken some time during
the night from the. ship.
It was said to be the only bird of
its kind in the United States.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, May 20. The west won
a splendid victory when the house re
publican caucus voted after a spirited
and, at times, bitter contest to re
tain in the soldier bonus bill are ap
propriation of $250,000,000 for soldier
farm settlements.
This provision of the bill, which
would assure Idaho, Oregon and
Washington of at least one reclama
tion project each, was engineered by
Representative Hawley of Oregon as
chairman of the cub-committee of the
ways and means committee having in
charge this feature of the proposed
legislation.
It was the good fortune of the
northwest to have two representatives
in high places in the house, the other
being Representative Sinnott of Ore
gon, who, as chairman of the house
public lands committee, reported out
the original Mondell soldiers' settle
ment bill.
Sinnott Gives Aid to Hawley.
Mr. Sinnott's familiarity with the
plan enabled him to come to the aid of

Juvenile Maid Alleged to Have
Confessed Thefts.
To obtain money for new clothes,
a 15-year-old girl in the employ of
Judge M. G. Munly, 295 East Eleventh
street, is alleged to have stolen
quantity of sugar from the Munly
pantry and sold it. The police last
night arrested her and she will be
turned over to the juvenile court to
day.
The girl is alleged to have taken
the sugar on several occasions, and a
quantity she is said to have purloined
was recovered last night. She was
employed in Mr. Munly" s home. The
police declined to give out her name
on account of her youth.

TO THE FRIENDS OF
HOOVER:
The Hoover campaign com
mittee of Oregon, through
Chester Murphy, president, and
O. C. Letter, 6ecretary, issues
an appeal to Oregon supporters

urge you to vote your choice
for the candidate who you
J think has the better chance of
t defeating the 'no league can-
didacy of Hiram Johnson, not-
T withstanding the fact that nn-
t der the law Mr. Hoover's name

If all the men and women of

Why should the Lowden
voter, by casting an unavail

Johnson ?
There will be no Lowden
votes at Chicago from Oregon
on the first ballot. But there
will be Lowden votes later at
Chicago, when they are needed,
if it shall be clear that Mr.
