RAGE FOR GOVERNOR
TO
ATTRACT
IN
"Who's Goin to Run?" Is
Now Leading Question.
ALL HANDS ARE SPARRING
Clinrlcs Hull of Marshfleld Mont
Industrious of Tentative Candi
dates; Developments Awaited.
Cautious moves are being; made on
the political checkerboard, gubernato
rially speaking. Already the list of
imtative and potential candidates for
:he republican nomination Is Ions;.
As Interest becomes aroused, probably
two or three more men will feel the
tree tuBglnj? within them until they
nre overmastered and yield their fate
to the electorate In the primaries.
"Who's goin? to run for governor?"
This is the leading question. No one,
yet, has committed himself as an
aspirant, albeit gossip has connected
the numea of at least eight with the
Job.
Candidates Are Sparring.
Or those "mentioned," there were 'n
Portland last week Governor Olcott,
I. L. Patterson, A. H. Lea, Charles
Hall and George H. Kelly. Those who
failed to show up were George L.
Baker, Seymour Jones and George A.
White.
All hands are sparrinrr. with the
possible exception of Mr. Lea and
.Mr. Jones. The Lea boom has not
advanced very far, but is being pro
moted by some of his intimate friends.
.Mr. Lea may not even be aware of
the Interest being assumed in his
behalf. However, he Is Included in
the possibilities through the fact
that friends have been sounding out
to ascertain what, if any, his chances
would be of capturing the nomination.
Governor Olcott Quiet.
It Is assumed that Governor Olcott
desires to succeed himself, but he
has not said so, even to close asso
ciates. That he has greatly strength
ened himself in the past 18 months
is conceded. The governor has been
getting around quite a lot and meet
ing many people, which is one of the
unfailing signs.
There appeared in the lobbies the
past two days Mr. Patterson, state
senator for Polk and Benton counties.
At Senator Rltner's birthday dinner,
held in the MuMnomah during a
week-end recess of the legislature
last winter. Senator Patterson was
proposed as the man for governor,
and Senator Patterson was In hearty I
accord with the idea. At that dinner
were the members of Senator Kltner's
and Speaker Bean's organization and
a few outsiders who Senator Ritner
thought would enjoy the feast. All
present were politicians.
Mr. Patterson Denies Aspiration.
The Patterson boom was much dis
cussed by the end of the legislative
session, and then dropped from sight.
Recently Senator I'atterson was In
Newberg and Is reported to have de
clared he will run. While In Port
land the senator made denial of any
such declaration. However, he has
his ear to the ground and, like Cin
clnnatus, is willing to be taken from
. the plow and become a farmer candi--.
date.
Seymour Jones, speaker of the 1
house in the 1919 session and special
session of 1920, has been debating the
gubernatorial question for some time,
according to word brought to Port
land from Marion county, where Mr.
Jones Is a farmer.
Cbarlea Hall Industrious.
Most Industrious of the tentative
candidates is Charles Hall, state sen
ator for Coos and Curry counties,
tor several weeks Senator Hall has
been applying his spare time to visit
ing around. He has attended the
ciunty fairs and the Pendleton show
and generally getting in touch with
"the boys." On his frequent trips to
Portland Senator Hall has come in
contact with, men active In local and
state politics. In Marshfield there
is a distinct sentiment for him, be
cause southwestern Oregon, as Coos
Bay people refer to their section,
hasn't a single state officer. L. J,
Simpson, formerly the hope of the
Coos Bay country. Is out of politics.
Colonel Kelly is awaiting develop
ments. He Is not expected to enter
the race If there Is a large field.
Apparently he would prefer the con.
- test narrowed t down to Governor Ol
cott and himself, but this ! scarcely
probable, for all signs point to sev
eral entries, a situation which must
meet with the' approval of Governor
Olcott. Such moves on the checker
board as Colonel Kelly has made
have been confined to Portland. He
and Adjutant-General White are the
only two former service men men
tioned. The soldier vote will be sub
stantial in next year's election, but
it will not be cast for any on aspi
rant for governor.
Mayor Humored Candidate.
"George Baker told a personal
friend that his trip to Marshfield de
cided him to be a candidate," is one
current report. Portland's versatile
mayor, however, has confidential
friends who Insist that he hasn't made
up his mind,' but that he haa studied
the situation and is confident that
he can cut the mustard if he goes in.
Be that as it may, the Portland mayor
has been making speeches in several
Oregon towns Just as though he in
tends shooting for governor. One
suspicion respecting Mr. Baker is
that if he doesn't run for governor
he will hold back to contest Charles
L Mc.N'ary's seat in the United States
senate.
Concerning his intention Adjutant
General White Is as eloquently silent
as all the others. Also like the oth
ers he Is keeping his eye open and
watching.

GOOD POINTS SET FORTH
Civic League at Luncheon Hears
Views of Residents of Sections
of City After Exposition.
I
The features of a number of the
lifforont nroDosed sites for the 1925
exposition were discussed by speak
ers at the luncheon of the um"
league at the Benson hotel yester
day noon. The Mock's bottom site
was presented by three speakers, the
Rocky Butte site by two speakers
and the Ross island sits by one
speaker.
L. M. Lepper, who led the discus
sion for the Mock's bottom site, em
phasized the fact that there will be
need of a great deal of parking space
for automobiles in the vicinity of
the exposition grounds.
Such facilities, he said, could be
found in the vicinity of the Mock's
bottom site. He also declared that
the development of that site could
be done by the port in the programme
of port development and the cost to
the exposition would be nothing.
That the Mock's bottom site was
close to shipping, the industries of
the city and railroads so that if the
exposition were located there fair
visitors would get a good idea of.
Portland as an industrial and ship
ping center was the declaration of
W. M. Killingsworth.
The Mock's bottom site was sup
ported as the best for the location
of the exposition by J. H. Fairbrook.
That the exposition could be held
on the Rocky Butte location for two
or three million dollars less than at
any other location was the declara
tion of Dr. J. W. Morrow. He said
that the property at that location
could be used for a city park after
the exposition.
That, the exposition should be
placed on the highway instead of on
the water was the contention of Dr.
Emmett Drake, who also spoke for
the Rocky Butte site. He said that
the world was on wheels at the
present time and that anyone was
living in the past who talked of
transporting people by water.
The nearness and accesBability of
the Ross island site was emphasised
by Kenneth Brown. He said that
sits was also the logical location for
a recreational center and could be
utilized for that after the exposition.
Jesse A. Curry explained the
exposition site questionnaire.

Look at the lots to be offered.
Mark on your map the lots which interest you.
Come to the sale next Saturday at one o'clock
at Multnomah HoteJ prepared to bid on your selections.
Remember That After This Sale the fseifon ,Co. Will Be Sold Out
Remember that if you fail to buy at this sale and still want to build
in Laurelhurst, you must deal with the individual lot
owner and pay him a profit the same as those who did
.not buy at last sale had to do.
Remember, also, that the individual owner who buys at this sale
will want a profit, and he will get it.
Remember that as the supply of lots decreases and the demand in
creases, higher prices will be secured by those who
have Laurelhurst lots to sell, and profits made by those
who buy now.
Remember that Laurelhurst is a highly developed residence park
with over 800 homes, only two miles from the business
district, and, as Portland continues to grow Laurelhurst
values will grow also, and it will soon be difficult to find
a vacant lot in Laurelhurst, and if you do find one you
will have to pay a good price for it.
Remember 1925 and What It Means to Portland
and fzirelKirei
Portland, as well as the entire country, is now started on the road to the greatest prosperity ever
known in this country, for we are out of the reconstruction period following the war. Vacant lots
are nov coming into demand, for, with lowering of building costs, the public is building new homes.
Over 100 new homes have been built in Laurelhurst since the last auction, and more will be built
after this sale, so if you buy a lot for speculation you surely will be able to make a substantial
profit in a reasonable time.
