This very interesting and pertinent
speculation has sprjing. into bold relief in
the minds of many who are watching
developments In the federal patronage
situation in Oregon and who know,
though it is the announced policy of
the national administration not -unduly
to disturb -existing tenures in federal
offices, t that United States Attorney
Humphreys is one of the officials in
Oregon who could be considered "under

otherwise, demand. ,;
Some time ago, it will be remembered.
Attorney General Daugherty announced,
presumably speaking for the administra

seating Wilson appointees prior to 'the
termination of their tenure.

At first blush this looked like United

a four-year commission given him rela

stretch of official life ahead of him and
seekers after his office were according

Following ' this " statement, however,
local Republican leaders who are sup
posed to know what is in the mind of
the big leaguers at Washington con

primary assumption that the Wilson ad
