Allen also went to tee Congressman

Politics in theory have r.o place
on the news page, but politics as
practiced at Sslein may be of much
interest to the voters of Washing
ton county. The legislature has
just passed a bill which embodies
the biggest political gerrymander
ever saddled on the state. Repub
lican opposition, or rather, Simon
opposition to the McBride-Milcbell
wing of Oregon politics have so ar
ranged the new apportionment that
the Simonites will crush the other
faction and control every republi
can nomination that means a bal
ance of power. Here is the instance
affecting Washington county: in
the past this county, Columbia and
Tillamook elected a joint senator.
The new law gives the joint senat
or to thia county and Multnomah,
and this tnesn simply Portland
control, for that city will name the
man every time, this win give
