Ore., June 19 (U.PJ If Oregon's 115.000-odd men and women in service don't get a in vote in November, it won't be the fault of the county clerks of the state, nor of the secretary of state's office, which is handlmB arrangements de signed to give Oregonlans one of the best opportunities to cast their votes of any somiers in me nation. This the dan: On July 10, all county clerks of the state will meet in Salem tn settle any questions which rnav arise in using a uniform system of absentee voting. Postcards Apply Federally provided postcards, which will serve as both an ap plication for an absentee ballot and as registration for those who are not registered in their home counties for one reason or an other, will be given out so that they will reach soldiers overseas not later than August 15, and soldiers in thin country not later than September 15. These cards, when returned here, or to the county clerks, will be placed on file for two purposes: First, to act as the soldier's registration; second, so that signatures may be com pared when the ballots are re ceived. Upon receipt of the cards or ny other communication show ing eligibility and desire for the ballot, absentee ballots will be mailed to the service men and women. This will be approxi mately 42 or 43 days before the elections, when the forms are closed. This will give ample time for mail to go and come back, as army men have figured that Oregon is not more than 17 days away by air mail from any soldier, no matter In what part of the world he Is. Federal Ballot. Too If, however, the soldier docs not receive the Oregon ballot in time, he is entitled to use the federal ballot, which does not contain all the proposals upon which he is entitled to vote, but which does contain the major national candidates. If he receives the state ballot after he has already mailed the federal ballot he can still vote and mail it, and if both are re ceived in time to be counted, the state ballot will be the one recognized, as it Is the complete one. Th federal ballot may be used onlV by soldiers outside the United States, as all of them in the continental limits will re ceive the state ballot. An average of 80 applications for ballots is being received dnt ly. Secretary of State Robert S. Farrell, Jr., reports. Nearly 7000 have been received so far, and have been forwarded to the coun ty clerks concerned. Gold Hill Artist's Orchid Paintings Exhibited in City Gold Hill, June 19.
