Suggestions of the union men that the Government ahould take over the packing plants for the war are not af- focted In averting a strike. President Wilson still has the suggestion before' him, but In receiving It he said other methods of dealing w 1th the situation would be considered first.

Tbe principal fight here this year will be over the legislative ticket, and the offices of sheriff and clerk. It Is prac tically certain that State Senator Wal ter Dlmlck, who Is an avowed candi date for third term, will be opposed by George C. Drowncll, who served many years in the state senate and who was. In the house last session. Both men ' are old-time political fighters and they will probably put up an entertaining ' Dedman, of Canby, Is expected to be a candidate to succeed himself, though Harry Balr has been mentioned from that town. Gordon J. Taylor, editor of the Molalla Pioneer, Is expected to en ter the lints for representative. He is a ready speaker, a writer of 'ability and la widely known throughout the county. J. Dean Butler, a loeal attor ney whose home it at Oak Grove, Is also mentioned. Mr. Butler consider and the race for this job will be a mer ry one, as the sheriff's office is one ot the highest paid In the county. There is reason to believe that II. W.

The cost ot the work will be approx lmately 350,000, ot which the gov ernment Is to pay half and the state half, the grading work to be taken care of by Marlon county. In as much as a recommendation by the engineers Is considered practically tantamount to an acceptance by the government there seems pretty reason able assurance that the matter will go through. Tne highway commission reels so certain about the matter that It will advertise for materials at the next meeting of the commission. The state paving plant will probably be used on this work, but the commls Mon will go through the form pre scribed that bids must first be receiv ed.

Mount, examining physician ot the local board. I ' One reason for; the large number of physical deflcleats Is because the Class I list contained many who had previously been examined and re jected, but who under tbe conscription act were compelled to undergo a sec ond examination, It Is highly proba ble that this big ratio may continue In the examinations scheduled for Thurs day, as there are yet approximately 160 more examinations to be made.

SECRETARY OLCOTT TO HOLD TIGHT TO HIS JOB SALEM, Or., Jan. 26. (Special) A great state house political mystery was solved today when Secretary ot State Ben W. Olcott, in announcing his formal candidacy for the Repblican i nomination for governorship, declared that if elected governor he will resign the office of secretary of state follow ing Itia AloHnn on1 Prt.flfi. rr ' . .v ' , A Jblshas beeu tne political cud chewed over for weeks by those wan- here and the formal announcement made by the secretary ot state de prives them ot a juicy morsel. In making his announcement, Mr. Olcott also asserts that he will, if elcted, conduct the affairs of his office on sound business principles, that he will make no campaign about the state ' but confine himself to his office, that ne win urge the legislature to endorse the national prohibition and suffrage amendments if it comes up to it dur ing his term, and that be will stand for economy in state affairs as the greatest exemplification ot patriotism in the present crisis. With the declaration of Mr Olcott it Is expected political gossip here will now switch as to the, possible success or to the secretary In event he is elected governor. The shrewd guess- ers are slating E. E. Brodie, editor of the Oregon City Enterprise, as being head and shoulders in the lead at the present time, while the names of Ned Baldwin, secretary to Representative SInnott, Corporation Commissioner Schulderman and Insurance Commis sioner Harvey Wells have all been sug gested by the political wlseheads. Gov ernor Wlthycombe is naturally making no comments as he expects to be re elected, and In event that happens Secretary Olcott would stay on the job he now holds until the expiration of his term January 1, 1921. But the situation will give the boys something to talk about. Insurance Commissioner Wells laughs at the sug gestion that be might be the selection, while Corporation Commissioner Schulderman sagely observes that it is a question not to be discussed at the present time. And there you are. It really Is not a matter much worth speculating about until the votes are counted after the general election.

COUNTY ORGANIZES FOR LIBERTY LOAI DRIVES Oregon count? With every Oregon count; c?c runrMVfiteA- third I.lhcrtT IniS aS ers gathered In Portland Tu' "aay morning to plan the great spring drive. Clackamas county was represented by M. D. Latourette, a member of the state central Liberty Loan committee. Quiet, Intense determination to win in the greatest nnanciai task ever faced by the state gave outstanding character to the assembly of half a hundred men charged with the tre mendous responsibility of showing that Oregon's money again, but in doa ble measure, will mobilize with patri otism equal to the national army that Is carrying the 8 tars and Stripes for ward against the Hans on foreign bat tlefields. The. conservative estimate of Ore gon's probable quota of $50,000,000 and the fact that the campaign organi sation win Include the registering of every citizen, Including a note on his ability to Invest and hi nationality, were the startling disclosures of the session. This county's quota will be some where between $500,000 and 1800,000, which figures In themselves give some Indication ot the gigantic task ahead. EX-U. S. SENATOR ON DEATH MILL Charles W. Fulton, ex-United States Senator from Oregon, prominent law yer, and for man) years an active figure in the politics of the , state, died at 1:40 o'clock Sunday afternoon at his home, 6S6 Weidler street in the 65th year ot his age.
