FREEMAN AND REED IN RACE Clancey of Salem Declares He Does Not Want Fair Secretaryship The names of Dan C. Freeman and C. I. Herd were announced J yesterday as being aspirants for the secretaryship, of the state fair board. At least ten men are now candidates for the position. C. H. Clancey, who has been re peatedly mentioned as a 'candi date for the position of secretary of the state fair board, declares that he Is not a candidate, never fcas been, and that for business reasons he could not accept the position should it be tendered him. It Is well known that Mr. Clan cey has been looked upon as a candidate and that bis name ha3 been seriously considered by members of the fair board. Pre sumably this is on account of the great interest that he has always shown in the state fair, by his intelligent and active labor in its behalf, lie is recognized as pe culiarly fitted by training and In natural ability for the position, and Salem people will learn wltli regret that the popular ex-kins b?ii refuses, to permit his name tG fro before the board. Mr. Clancey states that his business is such as to require hi constant personal attention. Fur ther than that, his life ambition Las been to occupy a position of independence, and that his busi ness is now satisfactory and his position In the world entirely to bis own likinp. and he certainly would not accept a political po sition with five bosses over bim and a general public licenced to criticise his every act for political reasons, regardless of whether or not he was securing results.

Such is, however, far from being true. The Harley-Davidson upkeep cost is remark ably low as proven by the fact that this World's Champion Motorcycle, in ordinary hands, will travel 40 to 60 miles per gallon of gasoline and S00 to 1000 miles on a gallon of oQ. Motorcycle tires are smaller than automobile tires, and therefore cost less. . These are figures worth memorizing considering .that mo toe fuel: and lubrication costs are rising.
