Little business is being transacted
In the metropolis todav and polities is
the sole topic of discussion. Many
big bets have been made, according
to rumor, with Taft and Chanler rul-
Ing as favorites.
Many special police are patroling
the streets and polling places. It Is
fa red that many voters In some of
t!ie congested districts will be dis
f: . :-. . l-.lsed, owing to inability of the
election officials to carry on the bal

.Chanler is apparently running far
ahead of Hughes in this cit. and a
big Hughes vote up-state will be nec
(ssarv to save the governor from de-
feat.

I -A
, That the voting will be light
j in Umatilla county is the belief
of the republican managers, ex-
t pressed at i o ciock today.
They 'are predicting a more
than normal republican major-
Ity I nthe country as the result
of the campaign made from
this city.
That almost half of the vote
of the city of Pendleton was
cast by noon today is taken by
the democrats to betoken a
heavy vote and the local man-
4- agers declare that they are sur-
prised at the enthusiasm shown
among the voters. They pre-
4 diet big surprises when the re-
suit .of Umatilla county's vote
is known.
,
Pendleton today is experiencing
the quietest election in all Its history.
There are no . excited crowds of
spellbinders. There are no busses or
ha. ks, no automobiles out for voters,
mil the man who waits until the last
minute tonight In the belief that he
will get a free ride will find Hmself
sadly disappointed.
The principal reason for the quie
tude lies In the recent corrupt prac
tices law passed by the people of Or
egon at the last general, election
through which, the old-time practices
used in getting out the vote were
made unlawful, but another reason
U is 'believed will be found in a cer
tain apathy which seemed to be rec
ognized by the republicans this after
noon when they forecasted a light
vote.
Half Voted by Xoon.
At 12:30 o'clock this afternoon the
vote and registration in the various
precincts or the city was as follows:
North Pendleton, registered 339,
voted 172.
South Pendleton, registered 32$
voted IS 5.
East Pendleton, registered 229,.
voted 91.
Pendleton, registered 3 1 J, voted'
117.
The comparison of registry with the
vote, however, does not give . one an
exact idea or the ratio of registered
voters who have cast their ballots, as
at both democratic and republican
headquarters scores of men have been
sworn In as legal voters who had fail
ed to register. It Is estimated that
fully 20rt men who neglected to reg
ister will be cared for In this man
ner during the day. At democratic
headquarters this sworn registration
has been very heavy, and the leaders
are jubilant, declaring that it contains
a number of former republicans who
will vote for Bryan at the polls to
day.
Fine weather Is a feature of the
election In Umatilla county today,
and it is said that a comparatively
heavy vote is being polled In the small
towns and country precincts. The
democratic leaders declare that Bry
an enthusiasm is apparent every
where from the returns they have re
ceived. Election rt turns from the countv.
state and nation will bo received by
both parties at their respective head
quarters this evening and arrange
ments have been made by tacli to
take care of great crowds. Special
wires running to each headquarters
will bo supplied by separate opera
tors that there may be no delay in
receiving the returns.
