A. Hi LEA WOULD
So5e
Wishes to Eliminate Few Words
" of His Present Title of Secre
tary of State Fair Board.
.,: A. II. Lee, ' who bs been eerrlnf
as secretary of the state fair board
for some little time, has about made
tip hla mind that he would rather
.have "secretary of state" attached
to hla name a's an official label than
the handle -which he now wears. So
he has confided to some of his
friends who, in turn, have confided
that Mr. Lee will soon take the gen
eral public, particularly those who
are registered as Republicans, Into
his confidence and tell them of his
great ambition. Mr. Lee, If the ru-
y mor of his Impending; candidacy
hardens Into fact, will be the third
to enter the contest for the Reoub-
3 Hcan nomination for secretary of
state at the primary election of
Jway 21.
XOZER Iff FIRST
Ham Koxsr, who has served almost
contlnoualy as deputy necretary of state
since, the beginning of F I. Dunbar's
"- administration of that office in Janu
ary, 189'J. was the first to announce his
candidacy. Kozer went to the secretary
Of state's office from Astoria, under
appointment of Mr. Dunbar when he as
sumed the office. He continued in the
position of chiof deputy during the Dun
bar tenure and when Prank S. Benson
succeeded to the office, Kozer was re
tained by the new secretary in his old
position. He was appointed state in-
surance commissioner by Governor
Benson when the original Insurance
code creating that position was enacted
by the legislature of 1909. He resigned
that office to resume his old place in
the office of secretary of state when
i Olcott wiu appointed to the secretary-
' ship following the death of Mr. Benson
In April, 1911.
J05ES ALSO I BACK
Ben F. Jones of Xewnort. representa-
tive in the house from Polk and Lincoln
counties, is also an announced candidate
for the state secretaryship. He made
formal announcement of his candidacy
i -two or three months ajo, and promises
I to make a state wide. personal campaign
for the Republican nomination.
f' r. It was general political gossip for
ioms time that E. E. Brodie of Oregon
fclty would he a candidate for the of
f flee, but of late the rumor has been
'growing that Brodie has decided not
to make the race at this time.
SO DEMOCRATS YET
Up to the present, no candidates for
i- the Democratic nomination have made
their appearance, either formally or by
" ' rumor. It la in the cards, however, that
there will be such a candidate in due
time, as there seems to be a firm In
tentlon rooted In the minds of Dr. Mor
V row, national committeeman, and of
other of the state leaders, to have a
s full ticket In the primary field, both
estate and county. In all probability
there will be several additional candl
. dates, on both sides of the political
fence, before the day for the ballot cast
ing comes.

State Suspends Car
Demurrage Order to
Avoid Any Conflict
Salem, Jan. 24. Because of a conflict
with federal regulations covering demur
rages, an order promulgated by the
Oregon public service commission De
cember 6, 1916, covering demurrage
charges in the use of railroad cars will
be temporarily suspended February 1
until such time as the federal regula
tions cease to be operative.
The federal order is said to call for
a much higher rate for demurrage
charges than that specified in the state
order. As a consequence small roads, in
using cars from foreign roads, are re
quired to pay the higher federal rate,
while at the same time collecting from
their patrons at the rate promulgated by
the state commission.
