In Jackson county the standpatter got only one out of five votes, the progressives splitting half sneer re and La or oe In Portland La Follette leads with Roosevelt a close second and Taft again trailing far behind. In Nebraska yesterday the people rendered a verdict fully as sig- as in Oregon. fe Taft is again in third place and far behind La Follette, who is second to T. R.
