"Who am I? Well, I have lived
in Oregon 70 years, so I ought
to know something of the needs of
Oregon and the West. My full
name is Napoleon Franklin Nel
son. I was born in Lpringfield.
111., a little over four score years
ago. My ratner, ueorge m. nel
son, was born in Georgia and was
reared in Virginia. My mother,
Thetis Norie, was of French and
Irish blood and was born id North
Carolina. We crossed the plains
in 1851. Father spent the winter
of 1851-52 in Portland, working
at odd jobs. I went to Oregon City
in February, 1851, and got a job
as printer's devil for Asahel Bush.
Bush was born in Massachusetts
and came to Portland in the fall
of 1850: He had been a printer's
devil on the Sentinel at Saratoga
Spring., N. Y. He put in four
years learning the trade on the
Saratoga Sentinel. Many's the
time I have seen him standing at
the case setting type without any
copy. He set up his editorials
without committing them to writ
ing. He was a good typesetter,
being speedy as well as accurate..

"I worked for Mr. Bush three
years. Then, because I didn't like
the foreman. I quit and went to
work for Charles ilatoon. a Bap
tist preacher, who was running a
rolfsious paper at Eola, across the
Willamette river from Salem, on
the Polk county side. His paper
was called the Expositor. Mr.
Matoon was a hard-headed, hard
fisted, hard-workinp, goodhearted.
ignorant man. He was a natural
mathematician. He was the au
thor of Ma toon's Arithmetic-.
which was used in the country
schools of Oregon in the early
'50s.
"You can't tell how good the
meat is in a black walnut by look
ing at its rough shell. Because I
look like a 'nut' is no sign that
I am one. My hands are calloused
and bent with hard work, and I
dress roughly, but I havf had a
good education. Some people
think I am suffering from the il
lusion of greatness, but so did
Emperor William, and as far as
mat goes, you won t nave to go
out of this country to find plen
ty of men affected in the same
way. Everybody is a little off
some on one thing and some on
another.
. '
"When the Expositor at Eola
failed I was out of a job. so 1
went to school at Pleasant Hill, in
Polk county. "Later I went to
school at Dallas. In 1858 I came
to Portland and attended the Port
land academy and female semi
nary, run by Professor C. S. Kings
ley and wife. Later I attended
Bethel, academy In Polk county,
which was in charge of Dr. L. L.
I Rowland and Professor Nathaniel
HTiriaon. I studied French, Latin.
geometry, surveying and trigonom
etry there. Dave Holmes was a
classmate of mine. William Gal
loway, later circuit judge, was al
so a schoolmate.
"How am I fixed? I can get
along. I ain't aiming to be pres
ident for the salary. I believe I
can do better work as president
than a lot ire have had. I believe
in woman suffrage and in prohi
bition and am against war. I will
have two or three women in my
cabinet. Idon't Tigure I am smart
enough to 'run the whole country,
but I. am smart enough to get
wise men in my cabinet to help
run the country."
