Throughout the controversy I have
insisted upon a united Ireland with
a real democratically constituted par
liament in supreme control of all its
affairs other than foreign policy and
defense.
"The report to which you call my
attention calls for two parliaments,
one for the northern and the
other for the southern provinces,
while the Irish body which would de
termine the national policy of Ireland
is reduced to some kind of a council
which can never have any dignity
nor status until both the new parlia
ments agree to endow it with what
Irish opinion at home and abroad con

miliarity Witli Office,
FALEJt. Or.. Nov. 6. (Special.)
Sam A. Kozer, deputy secretary of
etate under Ben W. Olcott, who haa
been secretary of state for the past
eiKht years, today announced himself
as a candidate for the republican
nomination for secretary of state at
the next primary election in May,
1920. He bases his candidacy on a
long experience and Intimate knowl
edge of state, departmental and in
stitutional affairs and of the duties
of secretary of etate gained through
an extended period of active service
and close application to duty.
"Sam," as he Is generally known,
first became identified with the sec
retary of state's office In January.
1899. filling the position of auditing
clerk under Frank I. Dunbar, who at
that time assumed the duties of eec
retary of state. Mr. Dunbar retired
from office In January, 1907, after an
eight-year term and was succeeded
by Mr. Frank W. Benson, who ap
pointed Mr. Kozer, his chief clerk,
which position he filled until March
1. 1909, when Mr. Benson appointed
him as insurance commissioner and
he served as such until September,
1911. when he resigned at the solici
tation of Mr. Olcott to become hie
chief deputy, which position he is
etill filling.
Needs of State Studied.
During the entire time Mr. Kozer
has kept in close touch with public
affairs and public officials and has
given the benefit of his experience
and knowledge acquired through a
close study of the state's needs and
requirements. Because of his wide
grasp of affairs pertaining to all in
stitutions and departments of state
government Mr. Kozer's friends be
lieve he Is peculiarly fitted to give
intelligent service on the various
boards upon which it is the duty of
the secretary of etate to serve.
In bringing the office of secretary
of etate to its present high state of
efficiency Mr. Olcott has given Mr.
Kozer much credit and it is upon the
experience and knowledge of the
state's affairs that Mr. Kozer la sub
mitting his candidacy.
Since Mr. Olcott succeeded Gover
nor Withycombe upon his death last
March Mr. Kozer practically has had
full charge of the secretary of state's
office. The administration of sol
diers,' sailors' and marines', financial
educational aid law has added great
ly to the work of the office, which
has fallen principally upon Mr.
Kozer's shoulders.
Statement la Issued.
In a statement Issued today, Mr.
Kozer said:
"I have always believed that a
public official is, in fact, a public
servant, and wherever I have been
engaged in such capacity have al
ways endeavored to serve the people
to the fullest extent of my ability.
If the people of Oregon see fit to
honor me with the nomination for
secretary of state at the coming
primary election and elect me to that
office at the general election in No
vember. 1920, it will be my high pur
pose to serve them as I have in the
past to the extent of my ability and
capacity and endeavor to merit the
confidence and responsibility reposed
in me. I ehall feel that I have given
fitting service if I measure up to the
standard which has been established
by the present occupant of the office."

American People in No Mood to Be
Tampered With, Oregon Gov
ernor Asserts.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 6. (Spec'al.) In
a public statement issued this after
noon Governor Ben Olcott referred to
the re-election of Governor Coolidge
of Massachusetts, as a direct slap at
bolshevism arid .radicalism and a de
cisive victory for the law and order
element.
"The victory of Governor Coolidge
in Massachusetts, says Governor Ol
cott's statement, "in my mind is stg
nif'cant of the fact that the people
of that grand old state are just what
they were back in 1776, Americans
to the core. And people of the other
states of the union are composed of
the same mettle.
"That victory is a warning to the
reds, the bolshevists and all those op
posed to law and order and true
Americanism that the American peo
ple are in no mood to be tampered
with. It also shows .that our dem
ocratic form of government is strong
enough to care for itself by its own
great weapon, the ballot."

WHO'S WHO AT THE STATEHOUSE
NEW STATE BUILD N6
REASURER HOFF AGREES
High Cost of Construction Given
as Reason Present Time
Held Inopportune. '
SALEM, Or., Nov. 6. (Special.)
Any attempt to appropriate state
unds through legislative action, for
the purpose of erecting a new build
ing at Salem to house part of the
governmental offices will meet with
trenuous opposition on the part, of
Governor Olcott and State Treasurer
Hoff. This is indicated in statements
made by these officials today.
Governor Olcott is emphatic In his
declaration that it would be the
height of folly to attempt the con
struction of the new building, such
as is being advocated in some quar
ters, under present price and labor
conditions. This is made doubly so.
he says, for the reason that there is
no urgent demand for additional
quarters at this time.
At the time the supreme court
building was constructed in 1914 the
capitol was crowded beyond capa
city," said the governor, "and it was
necessary to house the forestery de
partment and a part of the state in
dustrial accident commission in the
downtown district. Persons employed
n the statehouse at that time will
also recall that because of lack of
sufficient room many branches of the
various departments were widely
scattered throughout the capitol with
the result that both officials and em
ployes were inconvenienced."
Court Boildins; Needed.
Because of conditions existing in
the capitol at that time and the
prospect of more commissions and de
partments being created the state
legislature in 1911-12 appropriated
$150,000 to purchase land and apply
on the construction of the present su
preme court building. Of this sum
150,000 was expended in purchasing
a site. Again at the 1913-14 legisla
tive session another appropriation of
$100,000 was made to complete the
structure, making a total of $200,000
for .the building. At the same session
the legislature appropriated $33,600
with which to purchase furnishings
for the structure and $3000 for grad
ing and improving the grounds. An
additional $33,400 also was made
available with- which to install a
modern central heating plant.
Through the construction of this
building the capitol was relieved of
the state library, state printing of
fice. supreme court offices, attorney-
generals quarters, and heating plant.
At present about the only inconven
ience experienced by state officials
is during the biennial sessions or tne
legislature, when the state industrial
accident commission and state high
way department are compelled to va
cate a part of their quarters tem
porarily to provide committee rooms
for the legislators.
Two Departments Outside.
According to Governor Olcott the
only state departments now housed
outside of the capitol are the ad
jutant-general and the child welfare
commission. The rormer oiriciai oc
cupies quarters in. a Salem downtown
office building, for which tne state
pays $50 a month. The headquarters
of the child welfare commission are
in Portland,, but the expense of pro
viding offices for this department is
nominal.
mvhile it is true that more room
probably could be utilized in the con
duct of state business," said Gov
ernor Olcott. "there is no immediate
demand for a new building under
present conditions and I will oppose
an v move in that direction. I am of
the opinion that the taxpayers of
Oregon are in no mood to give their
support to a new state Dunaing, ana
will rise up in arms should any at
tempt be made to appropriate funds
fnr that DurDOse."
State Treasurer Hoff is firm in his
suDDort of the governor s contention
that a new building is not of urgent
necessity at this time, and that the
erection of such a structure before
the return of normal times would be
a waste of state funds. "I believe
we should keep our present buildings
in good repair," said Mr. Hoff today.
"but I am opposed to any extensive

Practically Miss
Welborn's first
position was taken
under Secretary of
State Olcott more
ago, and through her quick capabil
ity she was rapidly advanced to one
of the most important and responsi
ble desks in that department. Be
cause of her unusual qualifications
and knowledge of state affairs she
was transferred to the executive
offices soon after Mr. Olcott suc
ceeded to the governorship following
the death of the late Governor James

Officials about the statehouse refer
to Miss Welborn's middle name as

During the late war with Germany
Miss Welborn took an active .part in
many patriotic activities. Three of
her brothers entered military service,
two of whom saw action in France.
Although busy from morning until
