State Primary Election
Only 8 Months Away.

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.

policy of "sticking to facts."
"When I read in Tha Oregonlan

Intimation that the circua man was

said Strandborg.
"Whafa tba Idea?" "Bill" was
asked.
"The Idea Is. that for years I have
been as a voice crying In the prese

me belongs the title of the original

self hath said that I tried to put

"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

Montana University Instructor to
Be Considered on Leave With
Pay Until Contract Expires.
HELENA, Mont., Sept. 20. Follow,
ing a two days' hearing of charges
preferred by the American Legion, the
state board of education at a meetiifg
her voted that Arthur Fisher, pro
fessor in the law department of the
University of Montana, "be considered
on leave of absence with pay during
the remainder of his contracted ap
pointment until September 1, 1922."
The vote of the board came after
two daya of argument as to the dis
position to be made of Professor
Fisher. The charges, filed by the
American Legion last July, had to do
with Professor Fisher's alleged senti
ments and attitude during the world
war. Among motions considered by
the board during the hearings were
proposals that he be dismissed Im
mediately and that ha be retained In
the university until tha end of hia
contract.
Professor Fisher is the son of for
mer Secretary of the Interior Walter

ber of tha university faculty about a
year ago.

its next meeting the "outside activi
ties" of member! of the university

What Concerts Will You
ear This Year ?
Where will you get the most enjoyment for
your money? 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!
