POLITICAL PENDULUM
SWINGS TOWARD THE
SUMMER CAMPAIGN
Presidency Senate Warm
Topic Primary Law
Now Under Fire
DEMOCRATS HOPEFUL
Disaffection Of Hall Supporters Fill
Gubernational Atmosphere With
Strange Prophecies
With the settlement of the primary
gubernatorial contest by the nomina
tion of Governor Olcott political atten
tion is now isurging toward the sum
mer campaign and the November elec
tion. . 1
It is generally conceded that the
coming, elecGon will be a hard fought
contest and there are few who believe
that the rancor manifested in jthe
j-ecent primary contest will' die out
during the summer months.
Various predictions are being made
concerning Governor Olcott's probable
strength in the coming contest,. There
is some talk. of an independent candi
date to oppose Olcott, Senator Hall'
and Mayor Gates of Medford, both
being mentioned as possibilities.
There is also a strong sentiment in
favor of Walter M. Pierce,' Demo
cratic candidate for governor and
should he receive the entire support
of Senator HalFs friends and the Klan,
he will give Olcott the fight of his life
for re-election. 7
.On the other hand, "should a- ma
jority of the supporters of Hall, Lee.
Bean, Patterson and White back Ol
cott he should have little trouble in
defeating Pierce. The three last
named candidates have already pledg
ed their support to the governor.
In addition to the governorship,
there are other problems facing both
the voters and the legislature during
the coming year. The proposed state
income tax which will confront , the
voters at the November election and
probably the legislature later on, will
be no doubt a contest as will also the
efforts of certain machine politicians
to abolish the direct primary system
and to bring back the old convention.
The presidency of the senate, now a
more important position than ever,
due to a recent cohtsitutional amend
ment which makes the president of
the senate vice-governor, will also "be
a bone of contention, Senators Gus
C. Moser, E. L. Cusick, Bert Farrell
and B. L. Eddy arenow avowed can
didates and Charles Hall a possibility

ernor is settled;

CLACKAMAS tv
DEMOCRATIC BANQUET
HUGE SUCCESS
Optimism Over Successes
In The Fall Election
Prevails.
PIERCE IS
GUEST
Many Candidates Give Views On The
Present-hour Problems With
Solutions
With one hundred fifteen persons .
seated at the well-laden tables in the
Electric Hotel dinina room on Tues
day evening the Democratic banquet
proceeded with real Jeffersoniah en-
musiasm and good cheer.
After the feast of good things to
which the guests did full justic, J. E.
Hedges, toastmaster, introduced Mil
ton A. Miller, who made under the
insperation of the occasion,' a dandy
democratic speech, prophesying with
great certainty as did all the other
speakers signal democratic success at
the polls this fall.
Mrs. Elsie Gaffney expressed grati
tude for the honor of nomination by
the party and a hope that she might
as representative help to solve the
farmers problems and those of, the
common people in which she is mst
interested.
' A. A. Price, was "Proud to be asso
ciated with democracy," characterized
the League of Nations . Covenant as
the -"Greatest document since the Dec
laration of Independence" and pre
dicted its return to earth in all its
glory of peace and prosperity.
Judge Campbell the only republican
so honored in response to introduction
declared he felt like Mark Anthony
must have felt in the midst 'of the
murderers of Ceasar and with great
celerity passed the honor of speech
to Dr. E. Lundberg, democratic can
didate for joint representative, who
with well directed thrusts, soon had
the Republican party outside the
"ropes."
Roscoe Gard, nominee for county
commissioner, pledged his best efforts
for Clackamas county, and Dr. Hed
lund made a hit 'with his humorous de
scription of how he expected to be
elected. W. N. Gatens declared Walt
er Pierce would carry Multnomah
county this fall and flayed : the Re-"
publicans with real democratic fervor.
CoL Robert A. Miller was at his
best. He recalled pleasant memories
of Oregon City, roasted the opposition
and declared that even Lincoln were
he now living, would be a democrat.
Walter M. Pierce, democratic nom
inee for governor, was the guest of th&
evening. His references to the Re
publicans were without contempt and
tempered with tender mercy and good
will. He declared for an income tax
as the "Squarest tax ever laid on mor
tal man" and that this method should
raise one half or $4,000,000 taxes.
The speaker desired to be known as
the ."veto governor" and would cut
down appropriations $1,500,000.
As a result of this most successful
get-together Clackamas county, demo
cracy goes forth with' renewed deter
mination and courage.
