TIIE MO'RXTXG OKEGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1021 2C W GOVERNOR 1 AGAIN? IS QUESTION State Primary Election Only 8 Months Away. Is $10,000 JOB MENTIONED Offer of Federal Reserve Bank Tot Expected to Be Made to Mr. Oteott Soon. . SALEM. Or.. Sept. 20. (Special.) Will Governor Olcott be a candidate to succeed himself at the republican l,rlmary election to be held In Ore. ton next May, or I he slated for a lederal anoolntment carrying a sal ary of 1U. 000 a yearT This Is the question- that Is now being debated in capital political circles. With the primary election only eight months away neither Governor Olcott nor the numerous othoj- pros pective aspirants for gubernatorial honors havs let it be known def initely whether they will enter ths campaign. Until recently It was be lieved that the silent attitude as fumed by Governor Olcott was for the purpose of allowing him care fully to survey the field before mak ing; a definite announcement. During the last few days, how ever, there has developed a rumor that the executive has his eye on a federal position, which is more to his liking than the office of governor. Offer Is Kxprrted . A close political friend of Governor Olcott, when asked with relation to the rumor, said he understood that the txecutlve would not be adverse to ac cepting a berth wth the federal reserve Lank at an annual salary of flO.000 Also that he (the governor's friend) had every reason to believe that such a position would be offered to Gov ernor Olcott within the next few months. Governor Olcott, although not ad verse to discussing the political situ ation, has refused to make any def inite statement as to whether he will be a candidate to succeed himself at the next election. This attitude on the part of the governor, hia friends said, indicates that the rumor Is not a myth and that he may relinquish lis present office for a federal posi tion before the expiration of his term. Interest Added ta C'amaalga. Interest was added to the guberna torial campaign here a few days ago hen a prominent member of the state senate let it be known that he had received first-hand Information that Oeorge L. Baker, mayor of Port land, would be a candidate for gov ernor at the republican primary elec tion. Although Mayor Baker's name has been mentioned frequently during tne pant few months as a prospective aspirant for the office of governor, he has not yet announced himself as a candidate. News also has been received at the capital that Charles Hall of Marsh field has his eyes on the gubernato r,a) chair, and that his entry Into the campaign probably will depend upon reports he Is assembling from different sections of the state. Mr. Kail for many years was identified prominently with the business Inter ests of Coos county, but left there about a ye-ar ago for Klamath Falls. He recently disposed of his Interests at the latter city, however, and again is a resident of Marshfield. Maay Prominent Mra Met. During the special session of the legislatura Mr. Hall was chairman of the roads and highways committee of the senate, and In that capacity had an opportunity to confer with many prominent men from all sec tions of the state. Only recently, it was said. Mr. Hall passed a few days In Portland feeling out the pulse of the voters with relation to his pros pective candidacy. Upy ' leaving Vortland, It was said. Mr. Hall ex pressed himself as highly pleased with the political situation. Rumors have also reached Salem recently that an effort is being made to induce Louis Simpson of North Jiend to enter the race for governor. Mr. Simpson was a candidate for governor at the primary election held three years ago and finished second In a field of five aspirants. Friends ef Mr. Simpson said today that they did not believe Mr. Simpson would enter the campaign, and especially In view of the overtures being made by Mr. Hall, who Is a resident of the aame county. There also Is a possibility that I. I Patterson, state senator from Polk county, may enter the contest for governor. Mr. Tatterson Is a promi nent fruit grower and farmer and during the last session of the legisla ture was chairman of the ways and means committee of the senate. George Kelly, prominent Portland resident, also Is being discussed' here freely as prospective gubernatorial t mber. Although not having as wide an acquaintanceship as soma other prospective candidates, Mr. Kelly's friends said he was a man of unusual business ability, of high Integrity and was well qualified to handle the af fairs of the important executive post, tion. On the democratic aide two pros pective aspirants for governor have teen mentioned. These include B. F Irvine, eidtor of a Portland news paper, and Walter Pierce.

"When I read in Tha Oregonlan what purported to be the discovery of an honest press agent and the Intimation that the circua man was tha original. I nearly dropped dead," said Strandborg. "Whafa tba Idea?" "Bill" was asked. "The Idea Is. that for years I have been as a voice crying In the prese agent wilderness." he replied. "To me belongs the title of the original honeat publicity man. Breathes there a city editor who ever to him self hath said that I tried to put over any Portland Railway. Light & Power company propaganda mucn less an untruth? Have I not gone up and down the land preaching 'trutn In press agentlng?' " "Then you openly admit that you are the original honest press agent?' "Bill" waa challenged. "Absolutely," was his unhesitating reply: "Of course, I admit it. Not that I would fpr a moment detract from the honors of a fellow press gent, but for the sake of truth, which 'Doc' Stuart and I stand for through thick and thin. I feel im pelled to atep forward an4 cry out for Justice to myself, to my long career of honesty in press agent lng. Hark back, if you will, over the bygone years and see if you can recall one single Instance where the company I represent has ever mis represented anything; I defy you." . No one present being able to re fute "Biira" admissions, he strutteJ out of the office and headed for his own sanctum, threatening to get even with The Oregonlan through his own publication by telling the public watts watt.

A frank discussion of your winters entertainment and its cost. You will hear several concerts this winter. Perhaps you have no- definite idea of how many perhaps you think you will go to only a few. Still, when the time comes around, you will find that you will want to g-o. Looking- back next May, you will see that you have heard many more things than you expected to that you have spent considerable money, much more than you thought you would. Why not settle the concert and amuse ment problem? The Elwyn Concert Bureau has a solution; and they took a large space to tell you about it because you might overlook a smaller advertise ment. You must read it ALL, or you will not have ALL the facts. This is a year of careful spending. Peo ple are going to spend just as much, or more money, than they have in the past but they are going to think more about what it will buy. When you go to a con cert you want a good seat. You usually pay two dollars, or perhaps two dollars and a half and sometimes if you have waited too long, this seat is not just in the location that you desired. You will probably attend seven or eight, possibly more, concerts before spring. You will have paid from $12 to $17 ff you went alone, twice that if you required two seats. How would you like to cut that in half? Would it make any appeal to you if you could hear seven concerts, in which 12 in ternationally famous artists were to ap pear, for $7, or at the rate of $1 a concert? Turn this over in your mind a time or two and see if it is not worth while. The Elwyn Concert Bureau believes in getting back to normalcy. Their con tribution is to put concerts back on a basis in keeping with the trend of the times. You can afford this series because it fits in with your decision to spend carefully this year. You can afford it for your chil dren, for surely music should be a part of everyone's youth. As for the student of music, this is really a remarkable oppor tunity. Now about the attractions: Last year the Elwyn Series was a fine series. This year it is really a wonderful series, and here are the artists to prove that state ment: OCTOBER 15 Marie Snndelius, Lyric Soprano, Metropolitan Opera Company. Nicola Zerola, Dramatic Tenor, Metropolitan Opera Company. OCTOBER 24 Cyrena Van Gordon, Contralto, Chicago Opera ' Association. DECEMBER 13 Alice Gentle, Dramatic-Soprano, Scotti Opera Company. Arthur Rubinstein, Noted Polish Pianist. JANUARY 16 Paul Althouge, Tenor, Metropolitan Opera Company. Kathleen Parlow, Greatest Living Woman Violinist. FEBRUARY 3 Olga Steeb, Pianist. Edna Thomas, Mezzo. Saacha Jacobinoff, Violinist. FEBRUARY 17 Arthur Middleton, Bass-Baritone. MARCn 10 Alberto SaM, The World's Greatest Harpist. You noticed, of course, that the singers were from the two most famous opera houses in the world, the Metropolitan and the Chicago; that the violinist was the greatest. of her sex; that the harpist, whose new Victor records are now out, is without a peer. You also noticed that . four of the concerts are joint recitals. You like to see and hear two or perhaps three interesting personalities when you go to a concert. Do you wonder, then, that the Elwyn Concert Bureau believes this the greatest series of con certs for the price ever offered anywhere in America, and that they took space in The Oregonian so that you, too, would share their enthusiasm? Since this course was announced three weeks ago, the sale has been heavy. After Portland people read this advertisement it is going to be much heavier. Think this over, then call up the Elwyn Concert Bureau and they will be glad to make your reservation. There are two prices, you know. The first 25 rows on the main floor are $7, plus 70c tax. Balance of the main floor and balcony sections are $6, plus GOc tax. No con certs will be given on Wednesday nights, and the first concert is on Saturday, October 15. Settle the problem now!
