STRONG DELEGATION IN LEGISLATURE FROM ; . . . asM... f - ' - $ ' I " ' . W. A. Dlmlck Clackamas county will have an exceptlonul'y strong delegation In the legislature at tbe next session. Team work on the part of this quartette of able Republicans will unquestionably glvo thla county statewide recognition. Senator Dimlck is serving his second term in the senate. He has been ac . live in securing labor lug'ttlatlnn, and Is recognized as one of the hardest fighters for his principles as there Is in the senate. He is a reacy and force ful speaker and debater. Dr. Dedman led the legislative ticket In the recent election, receiving 7405 votes, or nearly 2000 more than the Democratic' can didate. He is president of one of the bank In Canby, tbe city of his adoption, where he is a leading physician. He has been mayor of his town and his personally pooulnr'tv l:i attested by the large vote he received, both In the primary and In the general election.. Mr. Stephens made only two or three speeches during the entire campaign, and while he 1 a comparative new comer to Clackamas county, he polled a handsome vote. He is a leader In his own community In eastern Clackamas being president of tho Eastern Clackamas fair. He was formerly engaged In the banking business and is re garded aa a carerul, conservative man man of business and will undoubtedly make a good legislator, lie Is a pleasing and convincing speaker. Mr. Hrownell has probably the widest acquaintance of any resident of Clackamas county. He served three term in the state senate, was president of that body, and was a candidate for governor two years ago. His long legislative experience should be very useful to him, and his knowledge of public af fairs la extensive. People who are interested in tbe activities of the legislature will feci that Clackamas county's delegation will measure up to that of any county in Oregon.
