CHOICE OF OFFICIAL
James Linn Said to be Only
Member of Board Opposed
to Woman i Secretary
I
The next secretary of the state
fair board and manager of the Ore
gon state fair will be a woman. She
will be. .Mrs. Ella Wilson, who for
five yearshaa been assistant secre
tary, having served one. year when
the late W. AI Jones twa"a secretary,
and for! the last four years with A.
H. Lea. present secretary, who has
i ubmitted bis resignation to, the fair
board. Mrs. Wilson's home Is In
Salem.
That Mrs.- Wilson-, will be the
choice of the board is a virtual cer
tainty, since it . has become known
tha she is the choice of at. least
four of the , five members. She will
receive the votes of J. E. Reynolds,
A. C. Maraters, W H. Savage and J.
l. Farrell. .It Is doubtful if Mrs.
Wilson will receive the. support of
James R. Linn, the Salem member
of the fair board, who is believed to
be favorable to Frank Meredith for
the secretaryship.
Woman f;et SupMrt.
Mr. Lea has declined to recom
mend any person as his successor,
and said yesterday he did not know
who the choice of .the board would
be. but that whoever it is. the new
secretary will receive his assistance
and co-operation until' after the next
state fair, which will be In Septem
ber. : . , . ' -
There 'is a possibility that Mr. Lea
will manage the 1920 fair. This de
pends mainly on the wishes of the
board.. If Mrs. Wilson U chosen, as
Ms successor, now regarded aa cer
tain, she will be able to shoulder the
responsibility at any time the board
ees fit to place it upon her- Ir.
Lea resigned to accept the vice Ptes-
ldency of the Bankers' Mortgage cor
poration of Portland, and his affili
ation with that firm will demand at
least a part of his time prior to the
next fair, He had expected to begin
his hew duties July 1. but was ore-

the merits of any particular Touting.
The main object, at Vtfi? time is to

might defeat the object and purpose
of the meeting.
