38 Candidates
Now in the Field
Young and Old Have Enter
ed the Race
BRIEF NEWS OF OREGON
1
An prophesied in our opening
announcement the candidates
are not confined to nny one sex
nor does there seem to be any
age limit in either direction. It
is difficult to tell who displays
the most enthusiasm; the young
folks or their usually more de
liberate elders. When the door
opens with a rush, we know it
is an excited candidate with in
quiries concerning the contest
"We are at a loss, DOWtver,
whether to look up to sro the
tall angular form of neighbor
John Jones nlling the doorway
or to look down nt a blue-eyed
curly haired tot who lisps,
Tleath thir, how many votes
for a thubscription'"
Tho list of candidates this
week really does not tell any
thing about the race. The con
test is so youug yet and has so
long to run that the votes cast
the first week form merely a
stepping stone. I'ndoubt'edly
this is true, but it should not
lead anyone desiring to become
a candidate to linger: neither
should it encourage the candi
dates already entered to put off
work in earnest. It should be
remembered that constant drip
ping will wear away stone and
uiMitli.it the stiiy. consistent,
systematic worker will have the
best chance of winning. The
old maxim that "A rolling stone
gathers no moss," is reversed in
a contest, for here it is the roll
ing stone gathers the most votes.
A candidate who sits down and
waits for her friends to do it all
is extremely liable to gather
moss instead of votes.
should be as elegant as the parts
of those big honest priced cars.
In design, in material, in work
manship, in fiinish, in grace and
riding quality, and in every
essential it is up to the highest
standard.
