ly, the people of Fortland and Mult
nomah county have befen easting
' their ballots today. Seldom haa an

have been Buch momentous questions
at stake and so little excitement acf
companylng their settlement...
'"' , Ideal Voting Weather.
The even weather has brought out a
largo Vote according- to aU indications,
' and if is expected that by tha. time the
polls are closed tonlghV there will be a
much larger number of voters In Ue
county who have cast their ballots than
la usually the cone. Starting- early, with
- thA onenlnar of the colls, the-voting hae
.been going: on steadily. - In those pre
cincts where the resident do not have
to be at work, early in the morning:
there has been a heavy morning vote.
In one east aide precinct 75 men were
lined up when the polls were opened and
all were voted witmn nan an nour. in
those precincts where the laboring; men
live, those who are supposed to be. at
work early In the morning, the vote haa
been lighter, but here the heavy vote ia
always cast after working hours when
the voters return to their homes after
the day's work haa been done.. .
" Senatorial Contest. , .
' Chief Interest-of course shows at the
polls in the -contest for United States
- senator,- -"whrrer-workersi for - Governor
Chamberlain have been working against
the men employed to represent Cake. In
this battle one noticeable thing Is that
the men employed by the Republican
central committee are centering their ef
forts not upon the whole Republican
ticket but upon H. M. Cake alone while
Stevens, Cameron, Morrow, Aitchiaon
and the others on the list are reore-
ented by poll workers . employed, by
xnem inmviauaiiy. -
Aside from the contest over the dif
ferent offices there has been a spirited
battle during the clay over many of. the
amendments to tne constitution, ana
referendum measures which are on the
ballot. Groups of equal suffrage work
era hove been visiting tha polls through
out tire city during the day exhorting
the Voters to vote right on the amend'
ment. Men stationed at the different
polling places have been doing the same
worn. ,. - .
The University of Oregon appropria
tion measure has bad f rlenda at the polls
also working for a favorable: vote on
the appropriation bill. The amendment
creating Hood River "county has also
had loyal workers at the polls as Jias
the single tax amendment.
The Judges and clerks of election are
facing a long hard task beglning with
the closing of the polls at 7 o'clock and
the commencement of the counting.
There are 109 candidates on the ticket,
each of whom will be sure to receive
some votes in practically every precinct.
In addition to this list of candidates
there are 19 amendments or Initiative or
referendum measures to be voted on,
thus making a total of 126 counts to be
made on each ballot. In the larger pre
cincts having a registration of close to
600 it is not believed-possible for the
count to be completed until late tomor
row morning,
