8o far there have been no reports
of possible candidates In the Demo
cratic party for Kiddle's post, and
It is likely that If he decides to seek
re-election, he will have little oppo

In the county, only one office will
be at stake that now held by
County commissioner W. R. Led bet

this office as yet, although : It Is
pretty certain that If Led better runs
again, he will have opponents prob

too small for that hand to enter.
In what patronage he may have had
to offer, his home county friends
have evidently been forgotten in ef
forts ;to build future strength else
where. Then there is another angle that
both Democrats and Republicans are
pondering about. It Is: What has
Pierce done for this section 01 the
second congressional district? Asking
It that way. It is a bit difficult to
find an answer. If the Meadow Brook
project were to become a reality, It
might cost a different light on the
situation. Some former local consti
tuents are beginning to wonder il
Pierce really oarrles the strength he
was expected to.
Pierce, himself, unquestionably
realizes that all is not well along
the battle front, A few days ago at
Klamath Falls he announced ha
would be a candidate for re-election
one of the first to toss the well
known hat Into the ring. The La
Grande congressman does not intend
to let any grass grow under his feat
as far as his campaign lor re-election
Is concerned I He's on the go much
of the time these days, and the pa
pars are well supplied with news of
his sneech-maklng.
So far, In spite of rumblings in
.his own Dartv. there has -been no
mention of a possible opponent in
the primary elections; but over on
the Republican side of the fence
and the Republicans elected Pierce;
Just as much as did the Democrats;
the storv Is different. At least ono
man who would make a strong can
didate. Is considering making the
race. Jay Upton, of Bend, although
he hasn't committed himself, Is
known to toe considering the situa
tion, and he hasnt been overlooking
any opportunities -to make speeches
and public appearances. It is quite
possible that he will become a can
didate and If 'he wins the Republi
can nomination, he will be more
than halfway along the route to put
ting his feet under a desk In the
United States house of representa
tives; Now for the other item, of par
ticular Interest the La Grande
postmastershlp. Ralph Huron, In
cumbent and appointed many years
ago under a Republican administra
tion, still has about three-quarters
of a year to serve. Every indication
is that there will be no appointment
for his position until his term is near
on end. At the same time, Indica
tions point pretty largely to Victor
Eckley, state representative from Un
ion county, as the next postmaster.

about the matter, but his friends feel
