When ' the registration books, closed on October 5,- after having been opened just after the primary election, more Democrats than. Republicans had "reg istered in the four months period, for the first time in the history of Mult- nomah , county. Probably a similar showing: was made in many other coun ties of the state. " From the time the books 'Were opened following the primaries until they were closed on October 6, there was a gain In registration of 4455. Of this total 1702 registered as Democrats, 1(63 as Republicans, the remaining 1090. voters being-divided between the Progressive, . Prohibition and Socialist parties. Much of this increase was due to the . registration of shlpworkers and laboring men generally, and reflects the con fidence of the toilers in the administra tion and leadership of President Wilson. - .Democrats la Majority Ship-workers befhg unable because of their working hours to reach the- reg istration office in the courthouse, peti tioned County Clerk Beveridge, to es tablish registration booths in six of the shipyards. This was done on Septem ber 25, and the booths were kept open until October 2. when they were closed, three days before the time set by law tor closing the books. ' , On September 25 'a total of 281 were registered ; on September 26, 355 ; on SeptemBer 27, 488 ; oh September 28, 647 ; . September 30, 624 ; . October 1, 621, and October 2, a total of 757.

There is probably no better, safer or more reliable stomach antacid , than Blsurated Magnesia and it is widely used for this purpose, it has no direct notion on the stomach and is not a digest ant. But a teaspoonful of the powder or a couple of tive grain tablets taken in a little water with the food will . neutralize the excess acidity which may be present and prevent its further for ' mation.

ITALY'S REVENGE . IS NOW AT HAND (Concluded on Pas Two, Column Three) lateness of the - season : and the mountainous character of the coun try to be crossed beyond the Isonio, any moderately effifeient.i'Austrian resistance should be able to hold up the Invasion until spring. . The chances of I long-continued . Austrian resistance,; either at the Tagliamento or the; Isonso, seem slight, however. For Austria the war is over. The nation has bro ken down behind the army and there is literally nothing to defend I Jn the wy of state or sovereign. Accordingly, it Is tkr more likely that we shall see the Austrian army dissolve like Lee's army after It left the lines of Richmond. ; Instead of a campaign we shall henceforth look for "a military i promenade by the Italians until they have liber ated their own invaded territories and approached the gates of Trieste. Then. , as 'the essential preliminaries ' to get an armistice, Austria ' will have to surrender Trieste; Pola, the Trentlno with Franienf este. - Ja.tiee Is With Italy There is poetic justice In the pres- ent success of Italy. The long se ries of - reverses which brought us . to our grave crisis last June began -on the military. side with the Italian disaster on- CoporettO. The turn of the tide which has) carried us to certain victory began with the Ital ian victory at the Piave last June. It would be an unfair thing if the Italians were not able ; before an armistice comes to drive the Aus trlans from their own soil! as the allies are driving the Germans from French and Belgian soil. :, ' ; What a change after all this final autumn sees.,. In the last, weeks of 1915 isolated "Serbia was sinking to swift ruin. A year later Roumania was being murdered before the eyes of her allies, betrayed by Russian autocracy, beyond reach of her west ern allies. Last year Coporetto was , as grave a shock to! allied hopes as the fall of Bucharest had been 12 months .before. At, this time last year -the Flanders Campaign of the British had died on in the mud Of the autumn rains and the British disappointment was unmistakable. -France was still under the shadow of Nivelle's failure. The East was stall In German hands. Saloniki was art Internment camp and . Bagdad only a vague promisei -,-t- . " Skies Have! Clear.-- ';. And now it te vtetoo' att around Flanders is - cleared of Germans, France nearly, delivered, the. East U In allied liands, Turkey is finished, Austria failing to; pitiable chaos, Germany Is on the 'verge of surren der. And it may easily prove ttiat as Italy supplied the first splendid phase in the great cycle: of victories of the present year by her defense , at the Piave, she may supply the final episode by I her ; offensive trust across the same river. Thus in a very real sense the Ptave ia become the Italian Marne. Austria,. Turkey, and Bulgaria are done : the battle -of Palestine finished the Turk : the battle of the Csernaf-Vardar did for the.Bulgar. If there was anything left for the? Austrian. It will not survive the second .battle 'of the Piave. Our congratulations are Jor Italy. She. has suffered much and labored long to bring off this final success.

WILSON'S WORDS HELPING WIN WAR Fruits of. President's Appeals to Subject Peopjes ' Seen in Revolt in Austria. . Washington, Nov.. 1. In the flight of Emperor Karl from Vienna to escape the rising tide of revolution in Austria Germany, there la seen here the fruits of President Wilson's many times reiterated appeals.- through diplomatic notes, to the people of the central powers to throw off the yoke of, autoc racy. In official and diplomatic circles It is conceded that, the Wilson propa ganda hear been, a most powerful ally to the entente armies, by arousing the peonies of the central powers to hostility to their, governments and to the war. In his war address to congress which led to the declaration of a state of war with Germany, the president sounded the keynote of making this a war on autocracies and. not a war on . peoples, and' all his addresses since have been pervaded with a direct champioiftship of the liberation of the oppressed races. It Is believed by many in Washington that the war will prove to have been shortened by tbe president's diplomatic notes and by hl iy,-n'' In ron-ini-inK the subject peoples of the world that it ia a war of liberation. 1 Before Influenza Take Hold in the time to ward off serious trouble.
