IT. HOOVER LEADS POLL OF PACIFIC COAST Johnson Second, Wood Third in Digest Voting. 'WET' EDWARDS FAVORITE -v.Lr ;v . THE 3IOKXING kOREGOMA'. SATUItDAY, APRIL, 24, 100 1 y V III u II. .., I Mit of 119,601 Rallots, :Xew Jcr 5oy Governor Gets Most l-'irsls ag Democratic Candidate. In the presidental poll of th? lit erary IMgest, Ukcn in the Pacific Coast states, the republican lead is held by Hoover, with Johnson second and Wood, third. In thp democratic roll, McAdoo leads, with Wilson sec ond, and Bryan third. The poll of the coast states, however, has scarcely pot under way, for from Oregon, for Instance, only 78 votes are counted, of which 70 are for republican candi dates, seven for democrats and one for Debs, socialist. California and Washington, however, are rolling: in substantial reports. Out of 149.604 votes tabulated in th current issue of the Digest, Gov ernor Kdwards of New Jersey, who is "wet," leads as first choice of the democrats, Mr. McAdoo runs second for first choice and exceeds Governor Kdwards in the second choice column. Governor Kdwards is four times more popular with republicans than any other democratic possibility, and is the favorite, also, over all other demo crats outside of the democratic and republican parties. In the order of their standing, on the nation wide poll, the democratic aspirants are: Kdwards. McAdoo, Wilson, Cox, Bry an, Clark, Valmer, Marshall, Gerard, Baker, Hitchcook, Bailey, Daniels and Owen. (enfral Wood I.eadH. General Wood, in the republican ranks, leads on first and second choice; is twice as popular as any other candidate among the repub licans; follows Hoover and Johnson a in on p democrats and is the leading republican favorile among voters of other parties. The canvass of the 149,604 votes shows Wood decidedly leading:. Next comes Hoover and then Johnson, the two running neck and neck for first choice, but with Johnson some 3000 ahead for second choice. Hoover, however, leads John son as a democratic favorite and Hoover leads Johnson as choice out side the republican and democratic parties. In the national poll the republicans stand as follows: Wood, Hoover, Johnson, Harding, Lowden, Hughes. Taft, Coolidge, Pershing, Capper, Poindexter and LaFollette. Polndrxfrr I,as:fi Itehlnd, Getting back to the poll as con ducted in the Pacific coast states of Oregon, Washington and California, the republicans stand: Hoover, John son, Wood, Lowden, Hughes, Taft, I'oolidge and Harding. Although a Washingtonian, Poindexter is not es pecially listed in the vote from that or the other coast states. In Washington, Hoover has 1924 and Wood is second with 1447; Johnson is third with 980; Lowden, 414; Hughes, 208. Democratic choices in Washington are led by McAdoo with 3P4, Wilson comes next with 271. Bryan. 269; Edwards, 70; Clark, 43; Palmer and Marshall, 23. Debs re ceives 103 votes in Washington. In the Oregon poll. Hoover has 23; Wood, 18; Taft, 11; Johnson, Hughes and Lowden. 5 five each; Coolidge, three and none for Harding. Debs gets one vote. There is scarcely a trace of democratic votes since of the seven re ported. Wilson has four, Bryan two and McAdoo one. California shows a fight between Hoover and Johnson, with the former having 4255 and the latter 3664. Wood is third with 1853. Then comes Low den, 613; Hughes, 354; Taft, 290; Hard ing, 77. With the Californians, Mc Adoo is the democratic favorite, hav ing 668 voes, Wilson being a close second with 535. Bryan has 359 and Kdwards, 240. Clark receives 107 and Palmer 30. Analysis of the Digest poll on the coast throws Hoover and. Johnson to the fore because the bulk of the votes received are from California where the fight has centered to Hoover and Johnson, both favorite sons. The Oregon showing is so slight as to give practically little infor mation. ROAD BIDS TO BE OPENED Intimated Cost of Several Im provements Put at $140,000. SALEM, Or., April 24. (Special.)
