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 as soon as the official count on gov ernor is settled; Lynch Confectionery, O. K.

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.
