Mibs Elizabeth Braun of Portland Said to Have Support of East ern Oregon Delegation. SALEM, Or., Dec.' 16. (Special.) Reports received in Salem during the past few days indicated that there will be only one real contest for clerical jobs in the state senate during the next session of the Ore gon legislature. This contest may develop, it was said, in. connection with the selection of an assistant chief clerk. John P. Hunt of Woodburn, who has served as chief clerk of the senate ince the resignation of John W. Cochran two years ago, probably will be re-elected without oppo sition. It was said that he already has obtained the support of , all the senators from western Oregon, to gether with pledges from a number of the senators living east of the Cascade mountains. smlth Baa Opposition. For assistant chief clerk of the senate there are two "candidates. They include Miss Elizabeth Braun of Portland and Linn W. Nesmith of Eugene. Miss Braun was secre tary to President Ritner during the last regular session of the legisla ture, and was said to have corraled the support of the entire eastern Oregon delegation in the senate in the contest for assistant chief clerk during the next session of the law makers. Although Mr. Nesmith . has been sending out letters to the senators, urging their support, there is a pos sibility that he will retire from the contest In favor of Miss Braun. In this event, Mr. Nesmith probably will be taken care of and assigned to some other less important job. Toole's Election Likely. Walter Tooze Sr., veteran, reading clerk of the senate, is a candidate for re-election. He is not expected to have any formidable opposition, unless his activity on the part of Governor Olcott during the recent Campaign enters into the situation. Even if this should happen, it was said that he has enough votes pledged to insure his election. Albert D. Goddard of Pendleton, close friend of Senator Roy Ritner o Umatilla county, probably will have easy sledding for the job of calendar clerk in the senate. Colonel W. D. Mercer of Eugene, veteran chaplain and sergeant-at-arms in the senate, probably will be elected at the next session, his friends said. Draper to Be Chief Clerk. W. F. Drager, for chief clerk of the house, will not have any oppo sition. Drager has served in this capacity for a number of years, and It was reported here that he has re ceived enough pledges to put him over. Arthur R.- Wilson of Salem Is a candidate for calendar clerk in the house. Fred Meindl, who was calendar clerk during the last ses sion of the legislature, recently was elected to the office of representa tive from Multnomah and Clacka mas counties. Elbert Bede, editor of the Cottage Grove Sentinel, was not expected to have any opposition for reading clerk of the house. ' Joe Singer Again Candidate. Reports . received "here indicate that Joe Singer of Portland again is a candidate for sergeant-at-arms of the house. Some doubt was ex pressed as to whether Mr. Singer will land this job, due to his activi ties on the part of Governor Olcott prior to the general election. Nothing has been heard here as to whether J. E. Bedingfleld will be a candidate for journal clerk. Applications from stenographers, clerks and pages are being received by the dozens, and it' is not believed here that the legislature will ex perience any trouble in obtaining competent clerical help. , STATE SAVES MILLIONS DEPORTATION OF HOSPITAL PATIENTS PAYS. Economy Effected Under System Inaugurated by 'Dr. Stelner Totals $2,811,000. SALEM, Or., Dec. 16. (Special.) Deportation and repatriation of pa tients from the Oregon state hos pital.since Dr. R. E. Lee Steiner was assigned to management of the in stitution have saved the taxpayers of the state approximately $2,811,000, according to statistics submitted to day to the state board of control. It was set out in the statistics-that deportations of patients from the hospital since 1908 totaled 141, of which number 128 were men and 13 women. Repatriation of . patients from the institution since 1911 totaled 796, . of which number 610 were men and 186 women. Based on the average life expec tancy, which is ten years, it would have cost tile taxpayers of Oregon approximately $2000 for the care of each of these patients. In addition to this saving the hospital manage ment has figured that the value of each bed in the Inet'tutlon is $1000, based on the cost of construction of the buildings, equipment and providing other facilities. The lat ter saving alone aggregates $937,000. The total expense to the state on account of deportations and repa triations since October 1, 1912, was $34,660. . Records show that Oregon was the pioneer in deportation and repatria tion of insane patients in the west and that Dr. Steiner is the man who started the machinery in motion. p3i (&aiS3m YOU CAN walk in comfort and tay in style in "Anatomik" shoes.
