VOTING IN OREGON IS SLOW PROCESS Voting the Oregon ballot at Tues day's election was a very slow process. To mark the preferences for the differ ent national, state and local offices took but a few seconds. However, the citi zen, in oroer to avoid tft.stakcs in the exercise of his franchise, when it came the initiative and referendum por tion of the ticket, had to use due dis cretion in reading over the measures. l'hose who were familiar with the bal lots could vote in five minutes. How ever, some citizens spent as many as fifteen minutes in the booths. It is declared that the size of the ballot and the time it took to vote it prevented many from voting. 1 he whole of the (lav the city hall where the citizens of the West precinct voted, was ciowded. At times the line of citizens waiting their turn at the noils reached far into the street. The residents of the other two precincts, the Hood River Center and the East, had more commodious voting places The former voted at the Holman hall on the Heights and the latter in a va cant store room in the Mount Hood hotel annex. At all of the city polling places were stationed members of the Home Pro tective Association, who carried lists of registered voters of the city and who kept a check to see that the elec tion was regular. The ballots, on account of their size and great bulk, soon filled the boxes On the Heights, where the heaviest vote in the county was polled, an extra ballot box had to be secured early in the afternoon, the first having become so full that it was imposible to chuck another ticket into it. MANY VOTED FOR AT CITY PRIMARY Desnite the fact that it had been an nounced that the primary would be al lowed to go bv default, citizens dc manded that the polls be opened and at noon Mondav, although no citizen naa announced his intention of becoming a candidate, the clerks Bud judges asem-1 tiluft. mni with fin "Hunzt (lvtV the I election was begun. The votes cast, however, were com paratively small. The overwhelming majority of those expressing their choice voted for K.W. Pratt, cashier of the Hood River Hanking & Trust Co., for mayor. The nominees for council men were J. M. Schmeltzer, W. H. Tuft and James Stranahan. Louis A. Henderson and Henry L. Hove were nominated for the respective ollices of treasurer and recorder.

When Wilson received the news of the way the tide was turning he sent the following dispatch to Manager Mc ' Coombs: "1 deeply appreciate your telegram and wish to extend to you and the members of the campaign com- mitee my warm congratulations on the part you have played in the organiza tion and conduct ol a campaign lougtit out upon essential issues. A great cause has triumphed. Every Democrat, every true progres sive, of whatever alilance, must now lend his full force and enthusiasm to the fulfillment of the people's hope, the establishment of the people's right, so that judgment and peace may go hand in hand." Roosevelt carried his home town, Oyster Hay, by a big majority, the home folks giving Taft only a handful of supporters. Staunton, Va., Wilson's I birthplace, honored him by a large ma-jority. Koosevelt carried Illinois and Penn sylvania. His (strength was shown in Kansas and Minnesota. Hia majority in the stale of Washington was more than 30.000.

The statements made by the ferryman were confirmed by Street Commisioner Robert Lewis. On motion of Councilman J. E. Rob ertson, who said that the public had often been called on to donate funds toward the repair of this road and that he deemed the city should do its part, the matter was referred to the street committee and commissioner for im mediate action. On an amendment offered by Councilman C. H. Sproat, a portion of State street just west of the steel bridge will also be repaired. The police committee reported that, since Marshal Lewis had consented to remain in the city and continue in the capacity of marshal and street commis sioner, they recommended that his sal ary be raised from '5 to $100 per juris- nian county points, says Mr. Wilson.

Marshall, the Democratic nominee and the people's choice for the vice presidency, is known for his reticence. Following is a Drier outline or nia characteristics : Thomas Riley Marshall, of Indiana, - has been noted for his reticence, his studious habits, his aversion to physi cal exercise in any form and the fact that in 17 years of his married life he and his wife never have been separated for a day. He is a lawyer of attain ments. As a politician, in recent years he has been a sort of "joint campaign er," for Mrs. Marshall has been with him at every convention and every stump-speaking trip and has aided him politically in many ways. The neigh bors in Columbia City, Ind., where he has lived ever since the early '70s, say that Mrs. Marshall is the shrewder politician of the two. It is not said as a reflection upon the Governor, either, but as an affectionate way of showing that both Mr. and Mrs. Marshall are exceedingly popular at home. Resides that. Governor Marshall is known to political fame aB a mere than ' commonly uncompromising advocate of state's rights. Since his election as chief executive of his state, he has, on a great many occasions, on the stump and in messages to the legislature, spoken against the extension of the federal power. He views with alarm any encroachment upon the power of the states to regulate their own com merce and internal affairs. He be lieves the states should bo left to regu late monopolistic corporations within their own borders. He opposes the plan for a central banking system. He believes the Union is a creation of the states; not that the states are under obligations to the Union. He has de clared that grave dangers Desei tne plan to centralize the power of the national government.
