by General Rush at Polls;
. ' Women Taking Active Part
Soon after the opening of the polls
. today predictions made ,by Chief
Deputy County Clerk Bush, who has
charge of the election bureau,! were
; that about 75 per cent of the regis
' tered vote In, Multnomah county
would be cast. This was baaed on
reports of the large number of
voters' appearing during the first
two hours. j
' The total registration of Multnomah
county ia 110,640. At. the last general
election the registered vote was 89,143.
At the primaries the registration was
101,077, and. only about 40 per cent ot
this vote was cast. j, '
ELECTION .BOARDS SHORT
Full election boards were lacking In 13
I of the precincts In' Portland this morn-
Ing, and In some cases It was long after
. S o'clock before qualified voters were
; found who could be pressed Into service
as members of such boards. ' - .
"These difficulties occur at ever3 elec
tion," said Chief Deputy Bush this jnorn
- ing. "We gave Instructions to the elec
tion boards to fill vacancies by impress
ing into service the first voters available,
so that the. work could proceed without
delay. The difficulties today are about
the average at election times."
County Clerk Beveridge has urged be
fore the county commissioners the ne
cessity of securing legislation : at the
next session of the state legislature that
wilt provide a more adequate compensa
tion for' members of election boards. The
present law permits the payment of
only $3 for each member, and the re
sult has been that much difficulty is ex-
HMrluim to handlD th work.
