JAMES A. LACKEY j Representative James A. Lack ey,! Ontario, Democrat; represen tative, 1923, 17th district, Mal heur count. Retired stockman. ! A. consequential citizen of un usual public spirit, Representative Lackey has participated actively in public affairs for many years, while building up a competence for himself, so that he is a con siderable j taxpayer. His experi ence as well as his sympathies are broad but he is of a practical turn of mind, and blessed with an unusual allowance of common sense.

J M. J. LEE i Representative M. J. Lee, Can by, Republican; i representative. 1923, 16th district' Clackamas county. Real estate dealer, i An ardent community booster, who has figured for many years in promotioon of pretty much ev ery enterprise tending to develop Canby and I the Molalla valley. Representative Lee will be found well Unformed and well able to D resent his viewpoint on the floor, in committee and by personal in terview. Irrigation, drainage, weekly newspaper, county fair. county "exhibits,, community ex hibits, electric light? an ower plant, good roads, street improve ments, farm lands, city property -i-there has been scarcely a limit to his endeavor. His activity has made him a number of enemies, as may well! be expected, for no one can try to do all he has tried to do in a well-behaved Willam ette valley community without stirring- up considerable feeling His friends are more numerous than his enemies, however, as the primary election returns attest. Before the primaries, all the dope- sters said, "Lee is a joke; he won't get (anywhere; he will be at the bottom of the ticket " but he got the nomination. Before the' election the Bame dopesters said: "Lee is so weak he will be beaten by a democrat; the people all over the county know him so well they will, vote for anyone else." But Lee was elected and here, he is. Anyone who figures that just because he has done more for his home community and county than he has been able to do for himself, he will not be able to make much of an impression in the legislature, will find him self underestimating an exceed ingly capable man. j D.
