With three candldataa already In tha
field, none of them baring mora than
a fighting chance to win, there la a

come a candidate for the Mayoralty,
In opposition to William Andreaen. Dr.
a f tu.K. and Hrant R. DimlcJt Who
entered tha race In tha order named.
It la also whispered In this counoo
tlon that tha laboring men of Oregon
City ara not warming op to the can-
didatea who are aspiring ior uia ion,
and that It Mr. Myera should consent
to become a candidate be would Im
mediately obtain a large ioiiowiug. .
Swiaiiat candidates for Mayor In
many cltiee of the United States hav
been auccessful In recent electlona,

tical observers .in uregon wuy
little hesitancy In asserting tnai u
Mr. Myers ehould enter -the race In
the Held of four he would pull the
largeat vote.
Tha nimnr further complicate tha
local altuatlon. which haa for tha laat
week kept tha political wiae-acre
guessing. Mr. Myera la expected to
make a definite announcement this
afternoon.
