14 COFFEY'S STIMULATES THEM Senator, Announcing Candi dacy Under Assembly Rule, Makes Republicans Think. MANY WOULD BE GOVERNOR Xovr That Ice Is Broken, Aspirants for Highest State Office May An nounce Themselves Several Willing, but Few Speak. Announcement by John B. Coffer. State 'Senator, that he -will be a candidate for the assembly indorsement for Secretary jot State, has served to start to tnimcins Republicans who have been "on the I fense" so far as declaring themselves as I to the advisability of holding- such an ad I visory gathering of party representatives. (Having been the first of numerous can I didates aspiring, to public office, Mr. Cof fey naturally was the center of at traction, so to speak, yesterday and dur ing the day he received many words of commendation for his positive stand In favor of an assembly. Mr. Coftey hav ing taken the lead, definite announce ments are expected from other aspirants for different nominations at the hands of iKepubllcan voters of the state. There are not less than a dozen Repub licans who would like to be Governor. Of the -willing ones," however, few have Asserted themselves respecting their posi tion on the assembly question. Several of the anxious ones are known to favor the Assembly plan, believing It will bring the est available candidates before the peo ple, but, to date, they have deferred snaking any positive statement. Dr. Smith Aspires. Among the possible candidate in act. they may be classed receptive can didates. Is Dr. Andrew C. Smith, formerly State Senator from this county. Dr. "Smith is one of the prominent Republi cans of the etate who desires to head the state ticket ia the general election next year. At present he is in California 'temporarily and his attitude on the as sembly question cannot be ascertained until his return. TVnile he has not made any announce ment. It is known that J. W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food Commissioner, who Is 'willing to quit the milk-inepectlon busi ness to serve the people of Oregon as ! their Governor, is a strong advocate of 'the assembly and is perfectly willing to BUbmlt his name before such a body of . representative Republicans and take his ichances on securing the Indorsement of that gathering. Jay Bowerman. who served as president lf the Senate at the last session of the ' Legislature, is regarded more than : mere possibility for the assembly nomlna ' tlon for Governor at the hands of those j Republicans who believe in party organl l cation and a recommendation of proper 'candidates for the consideration of vot ers. Mr. Bowerman is known to be a firm advocate of county and etate assem 'blle. He believes In party organization. Dr. Withycombe Doubtful. Dr. James Withycombe, for years con nected with the State Agricularal College at Corvallls. Is another candidate, but many Republicans are dubious of his chances for the reason that he was de feated by Chamberlain when the latter ran for re-election in 1906. The average Re publican, especially the man behind the assembly movement, favors new material. J. H. Ackermann. for several years, Etate Superintendent of Public Instruc tion, is also a candidate for the Guberna torial nomination. George J. Cameron, District Attorney for Multnomah County, Is being urged by his friends as the proper man to be nominated if party access must be assured. In Eastern Oregon, many Republicans ere urging C. A. Johns, of Baker Cltr. to become a candidate. , Those opposed to the assembly plan are bringing every Influence to bear on VT. 6. Dunlway. State Printer, to Induce Mm to become the anti-assembly candi date for Governor on the Republican ticket. They have not yet succeeded in making Dunlway their candidate for that nominations Following the customary rule in Oregon politics, that official who renders a fairly satisfactory administra tion of hl office is not only considered entitled to. but usually , receives, a sec ond term. Mr. Dunlway is now complet ing his first term of four years as State Printer, which is regarded as one of the most lucrative offices in the gift of the state, and his friends, who would make him Governor, have found that It will be necessarv for them to furnish to him en absolute guaranty of his election as Governor to persuade him to forego the practical cinch of re-election to his pres j ent office. Until his friends can give him the desired assurance, Dunlway to un derstood to feel some hesitancy about going up against the assembly candidate for the indorsement of Republican voters of the state. Holer May Be Vp, Bv others, it is strongly suspected that B Hofer. of Salem, will be Bourne's anti assembly choice for Governor. Hofer has been hankering after public office ever since he represented Marlon County ! In the State Legislature several years ' kco. Tiie Salem newspaper man wants something but nobody has a copyright on i just what that something Is. One thing I is certain, he Is looking to Bourne for it. ' By some it is suspected that Hofer will succeed Colonel David M. Dunne as Col lector of Internal Revenue at H600 per annum. Others declare he is willing to ' wait another year and then drop into the Job held by Collector of Customs Mal .rolm. which pays even a better salary. But it now develops that Hofer Is clan destinely organizing a following through out the state in support of his candidacy for the Gubernatorial nomination. Evidence of this fact appeared only recently when circular letters were mailed to the publishers of country news papers and job printers throughout the etate. extolling Hofer's virtues, com mending his effort in behalf of the coun try publishers and strongly recommend ing him as a candidate for the Governor : ship. The letters were mailed from Salem and although issued by N. D. Elliott, a printer formerly in Hofer's employ, they bear the earmarks of Hofer. Letters Extol Hofer. The letter assures the country editors that Hofer for the last 20 years has been their consistent friend and in that time has never neglected an opportunity through legislative Influence and other wise to secure, or at least advocate, the ' enactment of laws which would contribute to the exchequer of the newspaper pub lishers of the state. Assurance is given the recipient of the communication that Hofer Is strongly opposed to that pro vision of the factory and workshop law which requires the payment by news paper publishers of a fee of $3 for the i inspection of their plants. Elliott quotes i Hofer to -the effect that the latter "will ACTION seek to have this feature of the law eliminated. Credit is given Hofer in the same epistle for securing the enactment of the law which requires the publication of county court proceedings, including a list of all claims allowed, at so much an inch. According to the same letter Hofer would further increase the earnings of newspaper publishers by having enacted laws requiring the publication of assess ment rolls before they are turned over to the County Board of Equalization and the publication of every notice for the laying out of public highways. To Sweep, His Policy. The Salem candidate Is further lauded in the Elliott letter as the "champion of development." and the prediction Is ventured that the "state would come nearer getting a political cleaning-up from top to bottom" with Hofer as Governor than from any other man who might be elected. "He is not a candidate and is not seeking the nomination," assures the letter, "but under the direct primary law we have a perfect right to make him a candidate." Just how far Hofer could run for this office is a debatable question among Re publicans. It has not been so many years ago that the average Republican has for gotten the general election of June, 1902, when Chamberlain was elected Governor, defeating "W. J. Furnish. In that cam paign local Republicans recall the fact that Hofer not only did not support Fur nish, the regular Republican party can didate, ut openly advocated the election of Chamberlain, the Democratic nominee. He always has been a supporter of the initiative and referendum and Statement No. 1, and is opposed to the plan of the Republicans to hold a state assembly next Summer. Grant B. Dlmlck, at present County Judge of Clackamas County, would like to receive the nomination of the anti assembly forces. Several weeks ago at a meeting of the granges of Clackamas County. Dimick formally announced his opposition to the assembly plan of the Republicans and proclaimed his fidelity to the initiative and referendum and other measures enacted by direct legisla tion in this state. Dimick will find him self forced to bid for this nomination at the hands of the anti-assembly people against the efforts in the same direction of Hofer, the Salem newspaper man. T TEACHERS TOLD MCCH ENERGY MISDIRECTED BY THEM. One's Own Childhood Should Be Constant Guide, County Insti tute Hears. Edward O. -Sisson, head of the educa Hn rionartment of the University of Washington, addressed the Multnomah Countv Teachers Institute yesxeraay in Washington Higrt School, on the topic.

DRY SOUTH IS ENVIOUS Traveler Says Cotton States Would Buy Our Excess Wetness. Returning from a tour of the South, Elmer E. Dobbin, of Baker City, ar rived at the Cornelius Hotel yesterday afternoon. "The South would give a great premium for some of this excess moisture." said Mr. Dobbins. "The fact is. Southern Texas. Louisiana and portions of Arkan sas also suffered a drouth last season, which has greatly hampered commercial interests. "The cotton crop is short. Part of the shortage may be attributed to the boll weavel pest, part of it to a lack of mois ture, but in my opinion the "hook-worm.' another deaignation for the shlftlessness of the Southern negro, is the chief ele ment in commercial depression. In those sections of the cotton belt where negro la bor has been supplanted, crops are above the average. In the timber country, where people look for business, the activity of the market is noticeable." - SPOKANE FIRM IS COMING Portland Attracts Building Material Trade House. "We are coming into Portland, but are not ready to announce our plans," said J. H. Spear, of Spokane, yesterday at the Hotel Portland. "My firm consists of Lachlin MacLean and myself, and both of us are here to aid our local representa tive in the building material trade. Port land is at this time in the best condition of any city on the Coast. "We are residents of the city which we believe stands next to this Spokane but we realize what is being done in Portland and are going to become Iden tified with it. The general plan of the business district of Portland appeals to us. Its congestion is its strong point. "Spokane has been able to meet suc cessfully the labor troubles which have been recently attracting public attention, and at this time the jails are full, with no recruits in sight. $2000 In Jewels Stolen.
