it Is natural that Dr. Withycoml, the

In an interview he a'ates thst be
believes Oiegiiq should support normal
mIiihiIs for the proper training of
t achers for ths publio schools, but thst
the support should be properly limited.
Dr. W ilhjcoiiiU was also skrd in
the asms Interview if tho friends of
normal schools attempted and, succeed
ed by log rolling methods In putting
through n bill, whether ho would luter
poe veto. Ha promptly said yes.
Dr. Wlthycombo is clear, fearless and
positive in any position bo takes. II
does not whiffle and, atraddls aronnd

BOa,
It is evident thst, as n candidate, ha

Portland bosses, and no machine, not
even tho educational machine, has soy
