Registration figures reveal dwindling Oregon voter rolls
Oregon's state registration up to last Saturday shows only about 61,000 on the books, half the 1906 figure of 122,000. Multnomah County accounts for roughly 29,500 of the state total, with the rest under 37 percent statewide. Lane, Clackamas, Umatilla, and Douglas counties follow, while no other county reaches 2,000 registrants. Officials warn of apathy and expect little increase before primaries.
