SPEKCE ML PLEASED BY EXHIBIT STATE GRANGE MASTER BACK TO OREGON CITY FROM SAN FRANCISCO MEETING. Charles E. 8 pence, of Oregon City master of tho Oregon State Grange, went to attend the teutons of the Na tional Grange, and hai n turned to Ore gon enthusiastic over tie work accom plished. 1 While woman suffrutx was defeated by tho Natlonul Grans last year by a vote of 26 to 24, the lomen won out I this year by a vote jj( 0 to 2Z. Mr. Spenc considers thin Yuaut;e of front remarkable and the endorsement of woman's suffrage as a great step for ward. 1-aHt year, prohibition waa treated in a rather Indefinite way, while this year the Natlonul Grange waa prac tically a unit In endoralng national prohibition. The present conservation policy of the forestry department came in for endorsement, and very progres sive Ideas on rural credits wero adopt ed aa the policy of the National Grange. It was decided to demand that the government provide for rural credit purpose some circulating medium as in the case of the regional hunks. Tho Grange arrayed Itself against bonding for road construction, lurgely on the Idea that road building Is still In Its experimental stage. It also de clared in favor of building market roads first. There was practically unanimous op position to the proiiosed Increase of army, navy and armament. The Na tional Grange Insists on raising the standard of citizenship rather than large sums of money for' destructive purpose. Strong peace resolutions were adopted. It was also agreed that there should be a uniformity of tax laws as affect ing states, this to prevent the tax dodging that has become bo flagrant on the part of wealthy citizens owning property In many states. The National Grange is composed of the master and matron of the state Granges of the nation, and at this time 57 were presiuit, representing practically all of the states of the Un ion. Mr. Spence sient considerable time at the Oregon building and on the exposlton grounds and expressed the confidence that Oregon has made a wonderfully effective showing at San Francisco, one from which the state is certain to derive great benefit.

IS TO PROPOSAL WILL REST WITH TAX PAYERS AT BUDGET MEETING ON DECEMBER 12. Among the many things which the county court has determined to leave to the Judgment of the taxpayer at the annual budget meeting in the court house December 12 is the purchase of the county fair grounds at Canby. The Cluckomas County Fair associa tion has offered to turn over to the county title to the land at Canby if the mortgages against the property alone are paid. These mortgages total $7950 and an Item covering this is in cluded in the budget framed by the county court. "We have put this mutter iu the budget so that we could get the views of the taxpayers," said County Judge Anderson Monday. "The fact that this item is In the budget does not neces sarily mean that the county court ap proves of this plan." Judge Anderson said that in case the county takes over the fair grounds It was probable that the management of the fair would be put more Into the hands of the county court. II LllLHul HI FIELD FOR STATE AHDCOMOBS BR0WNELL, SCHUEBEL ANO C. O. OL0S MENTIONED AS CANDI DATES FOR HOUSE. CALAYAN, RARRINCTOX Dia KLKPSTEAD, H RACE Pretty Fight for District Attorney With a L. Hedgts Out for Re election Eptd J. C Jack la Not Candidate. The old time political pot that ha been rusting away for the last year, baa bten brought out, burnished up and placed on the fire. It haa already begun lo boll. Favorite sons for vari ous otflrea are beginning lo appear In the open, barked In some Instances by a well defined public sentiment The county ticket next year will be beaded by candldatea for the legisla ture. Senator Waller A. Dlmlck la a holdover, but Clac kamas will choose three representatives In the lower house, and Iho men who have been mentioned In connection with thla of fice are George C. Brownell, Christian Schuebel and E. D. Olda. Mr. Brownell served three terms in the state aenate. where he was presl- i dent during one session, and he waa generally recognised as an active fac tor in legislative matter. He I an orator and It la generally accepted that be gets closer to the want of the peo ple thun the average man. Mr. Schuebel has served two terms In the bouse, and baa made a record that he la willing to stand upon. He la a fighter and makes enemies, but he' likewise make many strong friend. It Is said that Representative Guy T. Hunt, of Eatacada. doea not want lo return to Salem In 1917, and the friends of E. D. Olds, of Oak Grove, are feel ing out sentiment In regard to hla candidacy. He ha been talked of In connection with the position of coun ty commissioner. bf political wlseacrea say he wottld probably make a strong er run for the legislature. Olds is forceful by nature and usually get what he goes after. He ha some very pronounced views about road legisla tion. W. A. Proctor, of Sandy, baa strong backing for county commissioner. He comes from Sandy, where he is well known and highly respected, and the feeling Is very general that be would be a formidable candidate. Sheriff Wilson, Treasurer Dunn. Clerk Harrington, School Superintend ent Calavan, Coroner Hempstead and Surveyor Johnson will unquestionably be candidates for the offices they now hold. Assessor Jack will not run for re-election,. One of the hottest ana prettiest fights promised In connection with the cam paign next year Is that over the office of district attorney to succeed Gilbert L. Hedges, who Is a democrat, ap pointed by Governor West and a can didate to succeed himself. Chief among his contenders will be WlUIam M. Stone, who has been conducting a quiet canvass for several months.' The names of Attorneys William Hammond and John N. Slevers are also mentioned for tbe place. Mr. Schuebel was urged by some of bis well-meaning friends to go after this Job, which pays a salary of $2100, but he has about concluded to run for the legislature and devote his legal talents to his own private practice. Democrats are talking of Charles W Rlsley for county commissioner. He was in the legislature last session. Dudley Boyles, chief deputy county recorder under E. P. Dedman, is ex pected to run for the Republican nom ination for recorder. One prominent Democrat said Friday that there would be but little use to put up a candidate against a man such as he a man who belonged to the Republican party, who was well known throughout the county and who. It was generally known, would make an efficient official. FI PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 27. T. W Schultz was shot by a highwayman at 6:30 o'clock tonight In a sensational at tempt at a holdup at Sixth and Colum bia streets, list outside the business district and one block from the Univer sity club.
