BalemT Or., Doc. 20. Ex-Governor T.
TrOeeriias' announced his candidacy for
: th Republican nomination for governor
i at the primary election to be held April
JO. Thia la looked upon 'as the real
commencement of the Oregon campaign
for chief executive, and while Mr. Deer's
announcement created ' but little sur,
prlse. it cauaed some stir In political
., circles. The ex-governor makes- plain
' his Intention of doing aonte vigorous
campaign work and states 'that should
he ba the nominee he will challenge the
Democratic nominee to a Joint campaign
; on the stump.'
C A. Johns of Baker City, Republican
; candidate for governor, who aj-rlved In
Portland this morning, believes that the
; announcement of Kx-Gbvernor T. . T.
. t Geers'- candidacy, far from hurting it,
will strengthen his own position.
Mr. Johns' friends bad been Informed
some time ago - that Mr. -Qeer would
' enter the United States senatorial fight,
Mr.-Johns, 'however, saya that he was
at no time deceived and that ha told his
supporters that the ex-governor In
tended to ba a gubernatorial candidate.
Geer made a tour of eastern Oregon,
'i stopping In Pendleton, Baker City and
" other towns. At Pendleton he Intimated
' that he might enter the gubernatorial
lists, which was the first hint that he
' had abanadoned his senatorial aaplra-
tlons.- . r . ' -
"I am inclined to believe at ' first
thought," said Mr. Johns, "that Ex-Gov-eronr
Geer's candidacy will strengthen
roe. I cannot aay that I have thor
oughly surveyed the field as altered by
the announcement of Mr. -Geer; but, so
far aa J know at, this time, I am not
weakened but strengthened thereby.
"I hs,Te been quietly pursuing my way
alnce making my announcement and
liav how come to Portland to look into
the situation, and I hope to gain Infor
mation that will enable me to return
better satisfied with my chances, for I
believe that naturally I should have
- considerable strength, here In Multno
mah county." , --
i ' B.allgnment in Marlon.
Further- than this Mr. Johna would
not discuss the matter. It la known,
. however, that the announcement of T.
T. Geer as a governorship candidate
compels a realignment, of Republican
' ' forces' In Marlon county. The neceaal
; ties, from the. standpoint of that party,
are that Marlon county eliminate some
of the numerous candidates who are

The understanding has been that the
Geer people had agreed that the ex-governor
would keep but of the way of
other Marlon county candidates .for
stats offlcee. : It la claimed that Geer
had made a compact with Gatch that
the latter was to have a clear field, ao
far aa state offices were concerned.
Based upon that understanding. Gatch
went ahead with his arrangements, con
ferred with his friends and laid plans
to succjwJ Franav J,- Dunbar aate
state's secretary. .
Walter U Toose Is said to have been
another Marlon county man who was
certain that the ex-governor would not
enter the field as a candidate for a state
Office. He ao expressed himself - re
cently in Portland, .

" It was thought by the Marlon county
Republican leaders that Geer's candi
dacy for senator would not Interfere
with their ambitions to fill atate posi
tions. The Inference among politicians,
therefore. Is that the announcement of
Geer will force a complete realignment
among the Republican forces In Marion
county, but as to who will be compelled
to get out of the way to make room for
the ex-governor none here Is prepared
to say.
The effect wrought on the Republican
situation - In Multnomah county- by
Geer's candidacy cannot be indicated
clearly at this time. -It Is known that
local Republican leader desire the
United ' Htates senator for" this county
and It, Is probable that alignments on
the governorship matter will be gov
erned In part thereby. That the posi
tion assumed by Geer mixes the situa
tion considerably is admitted by all.
' Professor James Wlthycombe of Cor
vallis. another avowed Republican 'can
didate for governor, is known to be.
making special efforts to round up the
vote of the Patrons of Husbandry, com
monly called the Grange. C- A. Sehl
brede of Cobs, bay, although announced
as a gubernatorial candidate, has not
yet .been determined as to his poten
tially. He Is the last of the list, of
those who are publicly known to aspire
to be governor of Oregon. ' .
C A. Johns will dwell on the fact
that he la . from eastern Oregon and
claim -support on that score. -He ' wilt
argue that his section deserves recog
nition" on the ground thst the honor haa
not yet been given- to that part of the
state. '- .
