Ben F. Jones of Newport, Or., of
ficially announced himself as a can
didate for the republican nomination
of secretary of state yesterday. Mr.
Jones, who is at present a member
of the legislature as a representative
of Lincoln county, plans an extensive
campaign and will keep going until
the eve of the primaries.
Following is his statement of can
didacy:
"Hundreds all over Oregon have
never asked, written or telegraphed
me to become a candidate for the of
fice of secretary of state. . 1
"However, believing in the prin
ciple that if a man wants anything.
the best way to get it is to go out
after it.
"After due consideration and without
undue influence, 1 have decided to
become a candidate for the office of
secretary of state on the republican
ticket at the coming primary election.
Public PoHltions Held.
I have resided in the state of Ore
gon since 1870. My home is on the
shores of the Pacific, in Newport,
Lincoln county. Or.
I have been a practicing attorney
since 1897. My work for the public
as county clerk, mayor of Toledo, In
dependence and Newport, registrar of
the United States land office of Rose-
burg and four regular and three spe
rial sessions of the legislature should
fairly well qualify me for the duties
of secretary of state. i
"If defeated at the primaries, T will
work . and boost for my successful
opponent.
'Tours for more and better roads and
a bigger and greater Oregon.
"BKN F. JONES."
CampaiKn to Be State-Wide7.
Headquarters will be established in
Portland.
"It may be only a roof, but 111 have
fome place for a headquarters, ex
plains the candidate. "I'm not a rich
man and cannot spend a lot of money
making a campaign, but it is my pur
pose to go into every county in the
slate. There are about six months
for me to travel around in and I want
to see and talk to as many voters
as i can.
"I've given some account of my
qualifications in my statement, but
there are a few other things that
might be wortt. saying. For example,
I put through the 1907 session of the
legislature the Oregon City free lock:
bill. The government did not act ii
time ana the appropriation lapsed, so
1 returned in 1909 and got the bil
passed again, and then the govern
ment matched the money of the state
and the locks became free. The locks
a re now owned and maintained by
the government. Before this bill be
came a law there was a tax of 50
cents a ton for all freight going
through th& locks, and a charge of
JO cents a head. The bill has saved
the people of the Willamette valley
thousands of dollars.
Aid Given Suffrage.
"My connection with the Roosevelt
highway bill is fresh in the mind of
the public, so there's no need of men
tioning that. It was my resolution
that the people adopted and Oregon
is now awaiting action on the part
of congress to match our bond money.
"Probably a great many women vot
ers do not know that in 1907 I intro
duced a resolution for equal suffrage
in the legislature. I fought it
through the house successfully, but
when the resolution reached the sen
ate It received only five votes, so I
can claim to be one of the early
friends of the equal suffrage cause
in Oregon.
Although a practicing attorney, Mr.
Jones was for 15 years a steamboat
captain, receiving his master's license
in US3.

When Buying a, Piano
Good Quality Is
Real Economy
Most people buy a piano once in a lifetime.
They start out to buy where they can "do the
best" (as they think) , not where they can "get
the best" (as they should). The attribute "best"
to many usually means the lowest price. Now
Pianos, like everything else in this world, are
priced according to their intrinsic worth. They
cannot be made to sell (and endure) at the
prices which some unscrupulous dealers offer
them. The "cheap prices" are for "cheap
pianos" beware of them, because the instru
ments soon give out, sound tinny, become un
playable and you have to buy another new
Piano.
Why not buy a good piano in the first place?
It will be real economy to consider quality as
well as price. A Good dealer carries several
grades of Pianos when measured by price. You
may not be able to afford the most expensive,
but you will be able to buy according to your
purse the buying will be made easy by conven
ient term payments and what you buy will
have Quality will give service will cause you
no regrets.
