The latest Lou Harris poll gave him 46% of the potential Republican vote, and only 17% to Nixon, 14% to Goldwater and 13% to Rockefeller. The influential statewide newspaper, the Portland Oregonian, which came flat out for Lodge last week, conducted its own survey, which gave Lodge 40%, Rockefeller 18%, Nixon 17% and Goldwater...

...resurrection of the Reporter, a union tabloid born during Portland's 1959 newspaper strike and dedicated to mortal battle with the city's other two dailies, the Journal and the Oregonian, brought with it a new masthead slogan: "Portland's Own Newspaper." But while the public response was encouraging-circulation increased by at least 2,000 new subscriptions-there was more to it than sentiment...
