Political Fog
Lifts as State
Poll Looms
3 Candidates Visit Campus
Over Week-end;
Neuiier Out
Sportsmen Compose Large
Voting Bloc
By BOB ALLEN
The campus was treated to a
taste of state politics last week
end with visits by three men, all
mentioned prominently in the gub
ernatorial race for primary nomin
ations in May. Governor Norblad
was in town to welcome Dr.
Spears to the University and the
state and to act as patron to the
senior ball. Harry L. Corbett, one
of Norblad’s rivals in the repub
lican race, was also here, as was
Charles Hall, a third republican
contestant.
From its original chaotic state,
which came as the result of the
death of Governor Patterson just
at the time when murmurs of pos
sible candidates were being heard
and possible platforms being
brewed, the situation in the state
has cleared up, and political writ
ers can see quite clearly what the
issues are to be, and can. get some
line on the candidates. As yet
only one man, Edward F. Bailey
has announced his candidacy on
the democratic ticket, although
Bert E. Haney, who has just re
turned to Oregon, is expected soon
to make known his intentions of
running for the nomination.
Drys Up in Air
George Neuner, United States
attorney, by withdrawing from the
race has left a group of voters,
the strong drys, up in the air as
to which way their votes will go.
A man' prominently mentioned by
the extra drys is J. E. Bennett,
but the members of the Anti-Sa
lobn league do not seem anxious
to swing in with a candidate who
they fear is not likely to run bet
ter than third. Apparently they
want a winner, which forces them,
if political dope can be relied upon,
to make a choice among, Norblad,
Corbett, Hall, and Bailey.
Unquestionably, Norblad is in
an advantageous position as gov
ernor. Not only are his chances
of lining up speaking engagements
plentiful (he has already made
over 200 during his brief period
in office! but he can, if he wishes,
play good politics with appoint
ments, of which not a few come
due between now and the May
primaries.
if isn xrouDies Loom
Spoitsmen are hatching consid
erable trouble in campaign circles,
with their demands centering
about the Rogue river, which they
want closed to commercial fish
ing. This situation will come to
a head today when a retiring mem
ber of the state game commission,
C. E. Miller, withdraws from of
fice, leaving an appointment to
be made. It has been estimated
that there are about 85,000 voting
sportsmen in the state, which
forms a considerable bloc for as
piring candidates to seek. The
question of reducing angling li
censes is another issue that settles
about the sportsmen, and causes
considerable thinking among poli
ticians.
Kay Drops Out
Thomas B. Kay, state treasurer,
who was at first considered a
probable candidate, later decided
not to make a try for the state s
highest office, and with his with
drawal from the race left alsc
many votes to be grabbed off bj
those who aspire to the governoi
job.
But along with all the pettj
squabbles, and accusations tha1
accompany the first months of £
campaign, the races are becoming
organized, factions lined up, an(
in a very few weeks sides will bt
definitely established and the can
didates will definitely get dowi
to the business of seeking the elu
sive vote of those who have no
definitely made their decisions.

dinner given by the Oregon chap
ter. The dinners alternate be
tween the two schools each year,
being held last year at O. S.

members on the campus, one of
the principal ways of tying to
gether the research work of the
several schools.
After dinner Friday the O.
S. C. members presented a pro
gram at Deady hall. Mr. W. T.
Johnson gave a paper on the
"Field of Biology,” and Mr. B. O.

subject, “The Investigation of

Talks on the Talkies
Variety is the keynote in thea
tre attractions this week. With
a college show, a Parisian revue,
something about women sinners,
and Winnie Lightner, what more
could we ask?
Grant Withers is a typical con
ceited, wisecracking football hero.
The classrooms scene fondly re
minded us of Johnson hall, even
the worshipping frosh and his
green lid were there; only one
thing lacking, we didn't see a sin
gle fraternity scene.
Winnie Lightner is her own
clowning self in “She Couldn't
Say No,” but the plot is just a
trifle weak. However, Winnie is
independent of plots, she’s her
cwn show.
“Sin Sisters,” “It’s a Great Life,"
ind “Paris,” are other worthwhile
attractions.

without regard to terms.
Graduate students will not, of
course, be either members or
eligible for office. And when he
has gained enough hours to
graduate, every Oregon man or
woman is automatically a grad
uate student. There will be no
hang-overs there. Again, if a
candidate’s scholarship is so low
that it requires his taking an
extra year, then the LTniversity’s
rule will bar him from his goal.

Contest Officials
Emphasize Rules
Krmiii<l Thai 2 Prizes Are
Offered to Freshmen
Due to an apparent misunder
standing on the part of freshmen
on the campus, members of the
Murray Warner contest commit
tee wish it clearly understood that
there are two substantial prizes
offered to freshman entrants in
the contest. The prizes consist
of SI00 and $75.
Dr. John R. Mez, chairman of
the committee, has requested pro
fessors of certain freshman cours
es to make clear that the entries
of first year students are judged
solely against each other, and are
not compared with the entries of
older students.
Two houses, Phi Beta Phi and
Acacia, at the University of Min
nesota are under quarantine for
scarlet fever.

First Prize of $15 Goes to
Journalism Major
For Best Work
' Harry Tonkon, junior in jour
nalism, won the first prize of $15
in the McMorran and Washburne
Ad contest, it was announced yes
terday by W. F. G. Thacher, pro
fessor of journalism.
Josephine Stofiel, also a junior
in journalism, took second place,
'winning- $10. All the contestants
were members of Prof. Thacher's
class in advertising.
The problem for the students to
solve was the preparation of a
typical retail department store
advertisement from material pro
vided by the store.
“The ads were very well done,
and it was exceedingly difficult
for the judges to decide which
was the best one,’’ said Karl F.
Thunemann, sales manager for
McMorran and Washburne.
“Several of the layouts showed
originality, and all were examples
of good business practice, showing
that the students knew what the
situation was. Some of the copy
was excellent, considering that
the contestants had been studying
advertising such a short time.
“Inasmuch as the layout of the
advertisements is very standard
ized, it was much harder for the
students to write the copy than
to make out the layout. The copy
was excellent, however, almost
equaling the quality of the make
up.
