Age and lack of off icial, experience as well a family veto are -all against J. C. Cooper of -McMinnville, running as a candidate for governor, "backed by the1-. Oregon tax reduction clubs.

Gates of Medford will be put into the field as an in dependent. Foregoing are specimens of the many bits of gossip which can he heard. There are many more. On the other side, rumor says that if Hall wants to open a few precincts in Multnomah county that the Olcott people" will insist on opening alii of them in this county as they believe an impartial recount or au tne Dai lots may reduce if not obliterate Hall's lead over Olcott in Multnomah; that sponsors of the orange ticket had -representatives in every pre cinct and complete control of many election boards and there is no tell ing what a recheck of all of the bal lots might reveal. .
