BLAME LAID TO RED TAPE 1 r, i it WvJ frequency of Elections Said, to Play Part In Keeping Many From Poll Republicans En rolled 7 0 Per Cent. SALEM. Or., April 25. (Special.) Secretary of State Olcott announced to day that the total registration as re ported to him by the County Clerks was 179,716. There are only four days remaining: on which to register for the primary, and, unless there is a big: in crease on these days, the total will not be more than 200,000, or about 40,000 more than it was in 1912, when the women were not entitled to vote and the population of the state was con siderably smaller. It la the belief of persons here who have made a study of conditions, and who thought when the women were enfranchised that the vote would be almost doubled, that the apathy is largely due to the frequency of elec tions. They say the people have not only tired of going: to the polls every six months or so to cast their ballots, but they are tired of the red tape of registration, and that not until condi tions are remedied will a greater pro portion of the people exercise the right of franchise. The registration, as reported to the Secretary of State, is divided among tbe parties as follows: Republican, 106,866; Democratic. 47,019: Progressive, 6310; Prohibition. 8545; .'Socialist. 4936. and miscellaneous. 7041.

Coarse Screen Gave Concern 800 Tons of "Velvet" In Month, Is Allegation of Workmen TVho Quit. MARSHFIELD, Or., April 25. (Spe cial.) A strike of coal miners has been on at the Llbby mine, three and a half miles from Marsh field, tor three weeks. Forty men quit work, when the man ager, George Doll, refused to accede to their demands to put in a screen with one-eighth of an inch in mesh. The miners say they were being treated unfairly with the old method of screening, as the screen was two Inches wide in places and the miners lost much coal which should have been credited to them. The strikers say all the coal which goes through the screens is sold by the mine operator and that this "velvet" amounted to 800 tons in March. There has been no violence and the miners have contented themselves -with a simple warning to outsiders to stay away from the Libby mine, owing to the strike. Some of . the strikers have been re placed but the output of the mine is greatly reduced. DRAMA LEAGUE ANSWERS Portland Chapter Xotes Effect of AVork Here Already. PORTLAND, April 25.
