European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - May 26, 1968, Darmstadt, Hesse                              Page 4 the stars and candidates ready for the unexpected unpredictable Oregon still up for grabs by Raymond Lair Portland Ore. Up unpredictable Oregon offers those democrats and republicans who would be president a mixed bag of possibilities i tuesday s preferential Prima Ries. Sen. Robert f. Kennedy of new York is expected to win on the democratic ballot. Former vice president Richard m. Nixon is favored Over California  Reagan on the Republican Side. That both could be embarrassed by the unexpected in Oregon is indicated by the implied willingness of their Campaign organizations to Settle for less than runaway margins. Kennedy is trying for his third Victory in a Row Over Eugene j. Mccarthy the Minnesota senator whose Strong showing against president John son in new Hampshire March 12 gave notice a discontented democratic party just might not renominated an incumbent atthe National convention. In the fallout from new Hampshire Kennedy decided to become a candidate. Johnson announced he would not accept renomination two Days before he was Defeated in the Wisconsin primary by Mccarthy. Vice president Hubert h. Humphrey then became candidate too late to enter any of the presidential primaries. Mccarthy lost to Kennedy in Indiana and Nebraska.

Robert h. Hazen the port land banker who Heads the Oregon Reagan committee thinks 25 per cent of the vote would be an impressive performance by Reagan. Fred Van Natta state director of the committee believes Reagan would poll an additional 10 percent if he just said he wanted to be president. Reagan has said Only he would not refuse the nomination. A belated write in Campaign was started for gov. Nelson a. Rockefeller of new York Victorin the 1964 Oregon primary Over Henry Cabot Lodge and Barry. Goldwater. Rockefeller workers say the Yare aiming for a Mere 10 per cent of the vote. Oregon has no tradition of write in voting in contrast with new Hampshire where the Rockefeller write in was unimpressive or Massachusetts where the new yorker won with write ins Over  a. Volpe who ran As a favorite son with his name on the ballot. They May be playing the same old presidential primary numbers game but Nixon aides said Reagan should poll 30 percent of the vote and Rockefeller at least 15 per cent.

It also has vast thinly populated areas peopled by ranchers Wheatf Anners Timber workers and employees of Mountain and each resorts. Less than one per cent of it voters Are negroes however and it lacks the various ethnic groups common in the Eastern Industrial cities. These voting blocs have been responsive to the Kennedy Appeal.
