Unopposed except by a Republican c&adldat who has been repudiated by his own party, Roscoe P.

Mr. Hurst Is a lawyer, a native of Illinois, 32 years old and has a wife and a daughter. He came to Oregon In the BDrlnir nf 1907 and bna hwn practicing law in Portland since, and i uaa Duui up a Buccessiui practice. He has a clean record and his friends declare he Is possessed of ability that will make him a valuable member of the legislature.

' I intend, when I get-into the legis- 1 latere, to make It my business to see that a poor debtor's court Is estab lished," he Bald. "In my charitable work I see the necessity every day for such a court. In the court I have ; In mind it will not be necessary for either litigant to incur any expense." i Mr. Hurst says he has too often j seen the injustice the present court system works against the poor man : or woman' who Is struggling to pay 1 a doctor's bill or eome other bill out ! of rheaeer earnines Manv rt i accounts axe sold to professional col lection agencies, who bring suits to collect the bills and the court costs amount to more than the bill. The un fortunate man or woman has to pay It alL In the court Mr. Hurst proposes to have established, the present expense of litigation over small debts win h. greatly reduced. Collection agents : will not be allowed to enter the court. ' Lawyers likewise will be barred. Jus tice will be meted out by a Judge 1 whose purpose will be to see that all honest debts brought before hlrn are '-. nwiiiicr ui least Duraen to the man or woman who has incurred the debt Plan Declared Success. Mr. Hurst said courts of this char acter are in operation in other cities with great success. If a doctor has a bill of $10 against a woman who Is working to support herself and chll ' dren and he feels she is not diligent v in her efforts to pay him, he would send the bill to the poor debtor's court. The judge would call in the woman nd ask her why she hasn't paid the '. bill, if she has Jiot paid the bill be ., cause she hasn't the money, it would be the Judge's duty to require her to , Pay it on such terms as he thought she could stand, perhaps 25 cents or 60 cents a week. But there would be i no court costs added to the amount ; of the bill. If she still faUed to pay the bill, then the case could be certi ' lied to the regular district court where I suit could be brought as now. ; It is Mr. Hurst's idea to have the j poor debtor's court handle all such 1 cases up to perhaps J20 or $30. He t BayS th AAA (tQMfl tmA Km hn.l.J 1 one or the district JudsesTVo there i would be no additional expense, and that it would result In a material re duction In the force of deputies in the 'constable's office and probably a reduction in the number of deputies . in the district court. Republican Homluee Repudiated. Mr. Hurst began the agitation against the loan sharks that resulted in tbe organization of the Portland Remedial Loan association. He has vigorously fought loan sharks, and the . outcry against them led to the passage of a law by the last legislature regu lating their business. Mr. Hurst says the law is not as effective as it ought to be. but that it can be made ef fective. He favors retrenchment in taxation and economy in the conduct of public , affairs. His only opponent Is C M. Hurlburt, , the Republican nominee, who has been repudiated by the Republican county central committees of Multnomah and ' Clackamas counties because or his un savory personal record. He has been involved in many lawsuits, has been arrested on the charge of obtaining property by false pretenses, has gone under assumed names, and has built up a personal record which his own Party leaders declare unfits him to hold any office.
