THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 11, 1920 RACE FOR SECRETARY DECLINED BY BRODIE Puhfisher to Continue News paper Activities. WIDE SUPPORT PROMISED Orogon City Man Sees Opportunity in Influencing Public Opinion in Home Field. OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 10. (Spe cial.) K. E. Brodie, publisher of the Morning Enterprise, announced today I hat he would not be a candidate for the republican nomination for secre tary of state at the primary election next May. . , ... "My many rriends among the news paper editors of the state," said Mr. Brodie today, "were the' first to pro pose my name in connection with the office of secretary of state, and I have already received, without my so licitation, the indorsement and prom ised support of more than 30 papers throughout the state. "This, of course, is extremely gratifying- and flattering, and I am deeply appreciative of the kind things that have been said about me. This is the first time that I have ever been even a prospective candidate for public office, though I have been honored by election and appointment to non-salaried positions In the state, and have been for four years chairman of the republican county central committee for Clackamas county, which gave a plurality of 1015 to the republican nominee for president four years ago, and a clear majority for Mr. Hughes of 227 over all other candidates for president. "After long reflection, I cannot separate myself from a profession with which I have been connected since boyhood. The publishing of a newspaper, in my opinion, is of great er dignity and service than holding a public office. The true newspaper man may be tempted by visions of easier tasks and snorter hours, but if he is true to the calling of his own choosing, ho will stick and resist the temptation to forsake a legitimate business wherein he should be a lead er in influencing public opinion with in the radius of his newspaper's cir culation. "The Enterprise was established 54 years ago. and has been published continuously in ' Oregon City tsince 1866. Only two newspapers in Oregon are older. My connection with the Enterprise covers 15 years, the last IS years as publisher. We have just purchased and remodeled a building and have the finest newspaper home In the state, outside of Portland. The Morning Enterprise is healthy, its growth and progress have been marked and I expect to continue as its publisher and do my part in mak ing Oregon a better state to live in for many years to come."
