When this exposure was made the doctor was groping around in the Mail Tribune office trying to find George Putnam, so as to hiss a few words of encouragement in one of his ears. Hence the total darkness. While the doctor was searching, a black cat that had fallen into the ink fountain of the big Duplex press rubbed up against him. He clutched it eagerly to his bosom, as it was the only living thing he had encountered in that silent inferno, and stumbled from the blackness within to the blackness without, shrieking that he had saved Snyder. People tried to read the Sun, but it was eclipsed by the general gloom, and they were forced to rest their weary eyes. The storm sewers ran flush with sobbing streams, and the situation was not relieved until word was given out through a megaphone by Bert Harmon that Dr. Reddy was still able to build a railroad to the Blue Ledge or the moon if necessary.

President Taft was a bad third in the race, both In Portland and the state at large. The race between Roosevelt and La Follette was spectacular, the early re­ turns showing them running neck and neck. La Follette has a plurality in Portland and he made an exceptional showing in the counties covered in his recent speech-making tour. La Follette's recent speech In Portland, where he addressed an audience of 10,000 people, undoubtedly is respon­ sible for the heavy vote given him. Roosevelt ran strong In the rural districts. In the cattle country of eastern and southern Oregon he waa an easy winner, with La Follette sec­ ond. Through the thickly settled Wil­ lamette valley district Roosevelt also won with ease. Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, was the choice of the Demo­ cratic voters for president, though Speaker Champ Clark received a sub­ stantial vote In many counties. Gov­ ernor Harmon, of Ohio, received a very small vote and was sot a factor In the race.
