THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND. ' NOVEMBER" 9," ' 1919. SECRETARY'S BERTH APPEALS TO MIY NOVEMBER VICTOR RECORDS Positively in Stock TRY US Lively Contest Indicated in Rumors About Capitol. RULING PROBABLY STANDS So Contest Expected Over Opinion by Attorney-General as to Governor's Status. SALEM. Or., Nov. 8. (Special.) The recent legal opinion of Attorney Ueneral Brown, in which he held that there la no governor to be elected in 1020, and the formal announcement of Sam A. Kozer for secretary of state at the republican primary elections to be held next May were the oustand ing features in capitol political cir cles this week. Acting under the advice of the attorney-general, Mr. Kozer already has begun the task of preparing the necessary statements certifying to the county clerks of Oregon the state and district officers to be elected next year. The work on. these state ments has progressed sufficiently, ac cording to Mr. Kozer, to indicate that they will be completed within the next week or ten days. Although the attorney-general has thrown down the bars and openly an nounced in his opinion that It is the privilege of any citizen and voter of Oregon to institute mandamus pro ceedings in the supreme court to com pel the secretary of state to make provision on the ballot for the office of governor, it is not believed here that the ruling will be contested. This assertion Is based on unofficial re ports received from many sections of the state and conversations with some of the most prominent leaders of all political parties. Should such proceedings be tiled, however, it is the opinion of state officials that the supreme court would lcse no time in hearing the arguments in order that a decision might be handed down several months prior to the primary election. The attorney general based his opinion wholly upon the decision in the case of Chadwick vs. Earhart, and lawyers say the rul ing is final unless the supreme court would go so far as to reverse itself in the matter at issue. Chauncey Butler, in charge of the automobile department of the secre tary of state's office, is preparing his announcement as a candidate for the latter office and probably will make public his platform some time next week. "I intend to wage a campaign unique in the annals of political his tory of Oregon," said Mr. Butler to day. "I not only have partly ar ranged to make addresses in all sec tions of the state and before all classes of people, but 1 intend to go further and challenge my opponents to open debate on the questions in volved in the election." Mr. -Butler formerly resided at The Dalles and came to Salem about two years ago while Ben Olcott was secre tary of state. He is a nephew of Jus tice A. S. Bennett of the Oregon su preme court and has a wide acquaint anceship In eastern Oregon. Mr. But ler has been a resident of Oregon for eight years and during the war served in the marine corps. ... Although not having made any formal announcement as to his politi cal aspirations. It is known here that Ed Wright, secretary of the Oregon public service commission, has re ceived during the past few days many letters from eastern Oregon urging him to enter the contest for secretary INSTRUMENTAL 18615 85c . 18614 85c Mammy O'Mine. . . .

His campaign will be con fined to eastern Oregon, where he resided for many years prior to com ing to Salem. Mr. Corey is expected to make an early announcement. ... "You may tell the world that I am not at this time or will not be a can didate for secretary of state at the election to be held in 1920," said R. Le Steiner, warden of the Oregon state penitentiary today. "Any re ports that have gone out to the effect valued at $25,120.64, according to the inventory and appraisement filed in the probate division of the circuit court yesterday. Of this amount 18,000 consists of property in Alblna The inventory filed in the estate of Effie Brandes yesterday shows 117.

Should there be six or seven candi dates for secretary of state from west ern Oregon it is not unlikely that Mr. Wright will decide to enter the con test, according to his friends. Mr. Wright has been connected with the public service commission for about two years, and formerly was county clerk of Union county for several terms. There have been rumors about the capitol this week that A. H. Lea, sec retary of the state fair board, has given up the idea of running for sec retary of state and will accept his present berth for another term. These rumors are said to be based on the statements of members of the fair board, who have openly urged Mr. Lea to accept re-election when the body meets in annual session next Janu ary. The recent fair probably was the most profitable of any event of its kind ever held in the state and the board is said to be opposed to. a change in the secretary's office at this time. Mr. -Lea is now en route to Chicago to attend the national livestock show and nothing definite will be known regarding his intentions until his re turn. "I have no ill-will against any can didates already announced or con templating entering the contest for secretary of state," said Sam Kozer today, "and I will conduct my cam paign free from personalities. Be cause of the increase in business in the secretary of state's office I will be unable to make any extensive campaign, but am willing to allow ray candidacy to go before the voters on my record. -Whether I will be able to visit all sections of the state before election depends upon the work in the office with which I am connected." Rumblings from down Corvallis way indicate that an effort is being made to induce James Stewart, at present representative from Wheeler county to enter the contest for legis lator in the lower house from Benton county at the next primary election. Mr. Stewart is recognized as one of the foremost good roads advocates in Oregon and now has in preparation an amendment to the state constitu tion increasing the highway indebt edness limitation from two to five per cent. He was active in the road campaign preceding the special elec tion in Oregon last June, and to his efforts is attributed no little credit for the success of the measures. Mr. Stewart has not yet made any inti mation as to whether he will accept the voluntary support of his Benton county constituents. Like a man up a tree. J. H. Schul derman, state corporation commis sioner, is said to be undecided wheth er to participate in the contest for secretary of state or enter the race for public service commissioner in opposition to Fred J. Buchtel, present chairman of the body. Both Mr. Buch tel and Mr. Schulderman maintain their legal residence in Portland and each man is said to have an extensive acquaintanceship there. Some friends of Mr. Schulderman say he has intimated that he would prefer opposing Mr. Buchtel for the reason that this contest would narrow down to the territory west of the Cascade mountains, while the race for secretary of state would necessitate a campaign in all sections of Oregon. H. H. Corey, member of the public are far from the truth and I have no knowledge of how they gained circu lation." Mr. Steiner says he already has enough troubles, being the offi cial custodian of a family of 250 con victs, as well as being responsible for a number of other matters in con nection with the operation of the state government. . . Reports reaching the statehouse in dicate that John W. Cochran ex-Portland newspaper man and until re cently employed in a special capacity in the secretary of state's office, has about made up his mind to enter the race for county clerk in Multnomah county. Mr. Cochran was political writer on The Oregonian for a num ber of years, served in various ca pacities during the past several ses sions of the state legislature and has a wide acquaintanceship among the political leaders of Portland. The terms of four justices of the Oregon supreme court, Thomas A. Mc Bride, Henry J. Bean, Henry L. Ben son and Lawrence T. Harris will ex pire with the passing of the 1920 elec tions. Gossip here indicates that all of the men will be candidates for re election, and as- yet no opposing as pirants for the offices have been an nounced. Although the name of Judge Henry McGinn of Portland has been advanced in some quarters as a possi ble candidate, his friends say it is not likely that he will enter the race. CHURCH HAS DIVISION Eugene Members of Apostolic Faith Quit Portland Body. Because of. certain iinscriptural teachings of the Apostolic Faith mis sion in Portland," the Apostolic Faith mission of bugene has severed all connections with the local mission according to an announcement of Rev A. J. Hegen and Rev. Fred Hornshuh ministers in charge. The assertion is made in view of the recent suit Instituted against the mission in this city because of l leged practices and teachings. Accord ing to the Eugene ministers, their mission withdrew from the parent or ganization several weeks ago on the same grounds on which was based the local damage suit and injunction proceedings, the Bugene ministry anil members "refusing to countenance or acquiesce in certain unscriptural teacnings.
