I 4 Vr- Aspirant for Gubernatorial Honors Second In Contest for Same Of fice at Republican Primary . of ' Four Years Ago. Gus C. Moser, President of the State Senate, yesterday formally announced his candidacy for -the Republican nom ination for Governor in the primary election next May. ' Senator Moser Is a prominent lawyer of this city. Ke has served six years In the State Senate from this county and ran second in a field of eight con testants for the Gubernatorial nomina tion four years ago. Senator Moser was chairman of the Eenate judiciary committee at the 1913 and 1915 sessions and was unanimously chosen President of the Senate at the session of 1917. He Is a native of Wis consin. 47 years of age, has resided in Portland for 27 years, is married and lives at 358 Thirteenth street, in this city. He is of Swiss parentage. Candidate Addresses People. In his formal announcement he says: "Within a re w weeks I shall pro mulgate In detail my platform or dec laration of principles, but I deem it appropriate to refer at this time to a few of the cardinal principles for which 3 shall stand, and which, if elected, I liope to carry into effect: "(1) First and foremost is the war problem, to which I have already re ferred. We must give our undivided and best efforts to bringing about a speedy victory, and In doing this let us remember that it has now developed Into a question of food and other sup plies, as much as a question of men- to fight the battles. There should not only be the strictest conservation, but every encouragement should be given to increased production. Our shipbuild ing, airplane stock and every other war Industry, as well as our agricultural development and production, should be encouraged In every possible way. Kevr Legislation Suggested. "(2) When the war is over we must be prepared for the readjustment that will be necessary, and calm, cool, cal culating heads must work it out. An extension of our rural credits legis lation and some definite colonization scheme to make productive our vacant lands will. In my judgment, be of great benefit. "(3) Useless boards and commiss'ons must be abolished. This may sound like an old political 'battle cry,' but I be lieve in it thoroughly, and the record of the Senate at the last session shows that we passed a considerable number of bills abolishing and consolidating various boards and commissions, but with one exception they failed of pas sage in the House. "(4) Labor and capital must be brought together under the scheme of mutual co-operation instead of mutual antagonism. "(5) The last issue, but the most im portant except the war, which I shall mention at this time Is that of highway construction. I am a firm believer In pood roads, and at the last session favored the passage of the $6,000,000 bonding bill, but it was my influence as President of the Senate which forced an amendment . to the effect that it Gni C. Moser Pre I dent Oregon State Senate. Who Yeatcrday Announced. His Candidacy tor Governor. should not become operative until ap proved; oy a vote of the people. I was and am opposed to bonds except by a vote or the people. I also favored the bill In the campaign for its approval bv the people and I still favor It, but I am opposed to the way it is being admlnis tered. Money'a Worth Not Received. "After our new Highway Commission was appointed by Governor Withy combe, and as a part of their campaign for the passage of the bill by the peo ple, its members promised us that there should be free, fair and open compe tition in the letting of paving con tracts; that we should get 'a dollar's worth of roads for a dollar"; that no trust or monopoly, or patented pave ment, should be favored as against any other. "These promises have not been kept. The Warren Construction Company, or someone laying Its patented pavement. gets practically all of the paving con tracts, and we pay vastly more for our pavements than Is being paid either In Washington or California. We are not getting 'a dollar's worth of roads for a dollar.' "Our State Highway Commission, dominated by its chairman, Simon Ben son, seems to think that the only pave ment that is worth laying is the War ren Construction Company's patented bithulithlc, no matter what the cost. It eeems to be wedded to this patented pavement. The National Government, and most of the states, decline to pay the royalties these people demand, but not so with our present state adminis tration. The time has come to call a halt. The powerful, secret political in fluences of the Warren Construction Company in Oregon must be forever de stroyed. "If nominated and elected I will ap point a State Highway Commission that will carry out the promises which were made to the people by the present one who will see to it that no bonds are sold below par, and that we get dollar's worth of roads for a dollar.'

The personnel of officers and men is en tirely made up of business and pro fessional men and wage-earners of the city. As now organized the guard is sub ject to call from Sheriff Hurlburt or Governor Withycombe for duty any where in Multnomah County. It num bers approximately 800 on its rosters, and a large portion of these members have previously had or recently re ceived rather Intensive training of a military nature. Each unit meets at the Armory once a week for drill or officer training. In recent weeks many new members have been received into the guard, and others who will take an Interest in its objectives will be welcomed. The guards are looking forward to the arrival of new uniforms and equip ment ordered for them from New York by the County Commissioners in rec ognition of the organization's impor tance in the community at the present time. Officers of the guard have prepared the following detailed history of the organization: In the Summer of 1916 General Charles F. Beebe, for many years in command of the Oregon National Guard, was chairman of a citizens' committee organized for the promotion of attendance of residents of Portland at the military training camp estab lished at American T.ake. Enrollment Increase Rapidly. During the following January a meeting was called of those who had been in attendance at the training camp during the preceding Summer at which steps were taken toward the organization of a drill corps, and Colonel U. G. McAlexander, United States Army, formerly assigned as in structor to Oregon Agricultural Col lege, at that time on special duty in Portland with the Oregon National Guard and now on active duty in France, was requested to furnish the necessary instruction. Regular drills were inaugurated at the Armory, the class starting with an attendance of about 100. After February 2, -1917, when the German government an nounced the renewal of unrestricted submarine warfare. the attendance rapidly increased, until there were en rolled about 600, divided more or less arbitrarily into companies. On April 14. after the declaration of war by the United States and five days before the Portland patriotic parade a meeting was held at the Armory at which Colonel McAlexander announced that in the very near future he ex pected to be called into active service and, at his suggestion. General Beebe was unanimously chosen to take com mand of the organization. With the promptness and efficiency which have marked his entire military record. Gen eral Beebe at once proceeded to thi definite organization of the first regi ment of Oregon Reserves. Company or ganizations were perfected and a full quota of line officers were elected and appointed. By reason of the mobilization of the Oregon National Guard and other or ganized bodies of troops the Armory became unavailable, and the companies were forced to utilize for drill the city streets, Multnomah Field and such other vacant spaces within the city as could be procured. Status of Guards In Doubt. The status of the organization re mained in doubt for a considerable pe riod of time. The Secretary of War and the Adjutant-General of the United States refused to give definite opinions as to the legality of the home guard organizations in the several states and a very serious question was raised as to the authority of the War Department or of the several states to issue arms or equipment to such vol unteer organizations. Notwithstanding all these adverse conditions the companies remained In tact and continued weekly drill. How ever, on account of inadequate facill- ties for drilling and with the probabili- ties of not being able to obtain the Armory for some time to come and with weather conditions approaching which would not allow drilling on the Mult nomah Field and city streets, the Ore gon reserves were disbanded. The local lodge of Elks had organ ized in the early Spring three uni formed companies of home guards un der command of Major Charles E. Mc Donell, now in active service with the 148th United States artillery. This or ganization was given the eighth floor of the Llpman-Wolfe building for drill purposes and became very efficient. Major McDonell. then Colonel com manding the Elks' battalion, resigned on account of being called into active service, and John B. Hibbard, Captain of D Company, was elected Major to command the Elks' battalion. Shortly after the breaking up of the Oregon reserves organization, the Elks' ob tained the Armory for drill purposes, as all Federal troops had been with drawn and the Oregon reserve compa nies who still held their interest in their military organization decided with the Elks' battalion to form an or ganization under the command of the Sheriff of Multnomah County, who was desirous of obtaining an organized body of armed men on whom he could call for assistance in case of great emer gency. A meeting of the officers of the Elks' battalion and of the old Ore gon reserves was held and the organl- C3p-.&. C.

Adequate headquarters and drill ac commodations being now provided at the Armory, the next important consid eration was the procuring of arms, equipment and uniforms. Until arms could be secured from the War De partment through the Governor the Portland Police Department came to the front with the loan of rifles. Coun ty Commissioners Holman. Holbrook and Muck realized the necessity of prompt action and a sufficient sum was appropriated to procure plain khaki uniforms of regulation type with com plete equipment, the greater portion of which is now in transit from New York. Weekly drills are held by each com pany with regular schools for in struction of commissioned and non commissioned officers and new re cruits.

Miss May Astley, of Wlllesden lane, London, secretary of the British Ambulance Association and organizer for tours throughout England, has sent to her cousin, Mrs. J. Flaherty, 3S9 Simpson street, Portland, a photograph showing the effects of the German shell fire on the ambulances at the Verdun front. The ambulance shown had done valiant service before being put entirely out of commission by the German fire, and is proof that the ambulance squad is not immune from the Teutons' shell. Miss Astley, on her tours, gives exhibitions of the photographs taken In the ambulance section, and these exhibitions take the place of the "tag" and "flag" days in gathering funds for army supplies.
