cially in the last fortnight.
Silent Worker Not
XortOad's Role
It's partly the story ot the hare
and the tortoise. Norblad started
with a . rush. He waited but an
hour from the late governor's
death to be in the, race. He has
hang his hat In Salem in the last
four, months and accepted the
governor's pay checks and when
ever there was a public function
which would get publicity for the
Incumbent,-- Norblad was there.
But to be governor, to stay on the
job and administer, has not been
his function.
Norblad had gained considerably
by his on-the-dash and up-and-at-'em
campaign. For a time his
intimates and his opponents
tnougni me iMoroiaa tide was
coming in mighty fast. But a
dangerous ground swell is ap
parent. Those closest to the gov
ernor are uneasy.
Right here in Marion county,
conceded a month ago to Nor
blad, the governor's chances for
a plurality are none too strong
me nacK-wasn or too ardent a
campaign was evident 4 month
ago. Letters from the secretary
of the dental board to an the den
tists, for example, proved a boom

barber's board wrote letters on
state stationery, asking support

boomerang. The big flare-up
came In the now famous Brady
ease which In many people's minds

Offsetting all the opposition
developed to Norblad, the closest
ODservers know this: Many peo

will they make any study of their

in. He's dynamic. He's likeable.
He's a mixer. Undoubtedly he's
a vote-getter. By no means can
he be counted out of the race
As Norblad has gone down the
Corbett tide has come in. Corbett
started slowly, almost against his
own wishes. He never has been
nor will he ever be in any sense
flashy. He Is sane, conservative,
careful, honest. He appeals to
the strong middle-road, hard
headed class of people. His sup
port in Marion county has grown
steadily. He has always been
conceded an edge over Norblad in
Multnomah county. Eastern Ore
gon, too, is strong Corbett terri
tory.
Sensation Lacking
In Corbett Campaign
Had Corbett in the last fort
night been able to dramatize the
situation, to rise by his own per
sonality on the waning of Nor
blad, his nomination would be as
sured, as it la, L'orbett's cam
paign in the last two weeks has
been firm, steady but in no wise
sensational. People have swung

. At the present time Corbett ap

nomination for governor In the
minds of political observers the
state over. Such polls as that
conducted by The Portland Spec
tator among editors Oregon over,
confirm this statement.
Then into the picture, comes
George Joseph. - Joseph is an
enigma. He is mnch talked. He
is the most advertised as far as
personal letters, pamphlets, cards,
radio talks go. Almost no limit
has been placed on his campaign
expenditures. Saturday in Salem
Joseph supporters were about

propriety of criticizing members
of the supreme court.

Nationalist government armies
battled today on two widely sep
arated fronts to turn back the
northern alliance rebels In their
drives toward the Tangtse river,
with heavy casualties on -both
sides after two days of fighting,
the result was in doubt. '
Foreigners In Chengenow were
reported in grave danger as Na
tionalist airplanes bombed the ci
ty, destroying the railway station
and .northern headquarters, said
Japanese dispatches.
.Contending for supremacy In
China, the opposing forces battled
on both the eastern and western
frontiers of Honan province. The
major engagement was along the
Langhai railway between Cheng
chow and Suchow. In this see-
tor, Chiang. Kal Shek, president ef
the Nationalist government' and
generalissimo of Its armies, was
in personal command against, the
northern thrust against his capi
tal, Nanking.
The northern forces were di
rected by Ten Hsi-Shan, governor
Of Shansi povlnce, and Mashal
Feng Yu-Hsiang, both of whom
seceded fom the Nationalist gov
enment with the declared Inten
tion of overthrowing it and end
ing the "dictatorship" of Chiang
Kai-Shek.
With all sources reporting
heavy fighting for two days be
tween Cheng Chow and Suchow,
each side claimed success for its
troops.
The Nationalists, said Chinese
press dispatches. - used bombing
airplanes along Ty Lunghal rail
way, inflicting "terrible toll
among the rebels" while the "re
bel machine guns mowed down
the .Nationalists."
Other advices probably origin

northern superiority, saying:

Willamette valley cherry grow

that the southern growers were
to receive not less than eight
cents per pound for cherries, plus
a five per cent service charge.
This price is not for first qual

price has as yet been set on the
highest quality cherries.
Previous estimates that the
California crop would ' be 9,000

Race for Mayor and Council
Jobs Quiet in Appear
ance Only
. L i i in
Utterances of a famous poet
that "things are not what they
seem," applies perfectly to the city
election campaign which is now
in its final week. From surface
indications it would appear that
none of the candidates for mayor,
recorder or the various positions
on the council which become va
cant. Is doing anything to fur
ther his own cause. .
The fact is that nearly every
candidate Is scratching hard tor
votes, singly or in buncnes; or li
he is hot, his friends are scratch
ing tor him. In the mayoralty
race; it Is principally the friends
who are working while the can
to the modest but Important task
of "meeting the public."
Both P. M. Gregory and Ed
Rosteln who are seeking that
important office, found occasion
to break Into print by doing
some denying last week as rum
ors flew about. Mr. Rosteln de
clared he was in favor of public
ownership of the water system
and the Gregory camp came back
with a claim that Rosteln was
attempting to horn in on the
Gregory platform. About the same
time Mr. Gregory spiked a rumor
that he had decided. If elected, to
make a "house cleaning" in the
police department.
Mark Poulsen and Frank
Wrightman, the candidates for
recorder, are both In excellent
positions to meet the public and
they are doing It assiduously.
For the first time in many
years some candidates for the
council have gone to the expense
of procuring campaign cards, and
one, F. G. Delano, who is seek
ing a second ward council seat
in opposition to S. A. Hughes,
has gone farther and mailed cards
to all the voters In his ward
either that or his friends have
done.it for him. It was reported
that others were doing the same.
While not much is appearing
on the surface, rumors ana
charges are flying around in the
various wards as the partisans
of various candidates become
busier and more heated; and one
candidate for - re-election has
found aldermen from other' wards
who have not been friendly to
him, lapping over into his terri
tory to take a few sharp digs.
Most ot the council candidates
are also busy telling the world
they hope to be defeated.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Thif ! th fourth t ierift t srn-

man before the primaries May 1C, to
Inform Marlon county voters about the
various candidates, their personal and
political record.
In these articles considerable space
Is alloted each aspirant for office. In
no way does The Statesman seek In
these news articles to Indicate any ed
itorial preference for a candidate.
Until the dosing days for filing,
the race for the four posts of rep
resentative in the house for the
1931 session, had attracted little
interest. The candidates were few.
But the closing days brought a
flock of filings with the result
that 12 aspirants seek the four
republican nominations; one dem
ocrat is in the field and is unopposed.
The last fortnight has seen a
liberal distribution of cards, pla
cards and speeches. No dominant
Issue is being taken by any candi
date. 'There is no mud-slinging.
Such apparently favorable topics
as the development of the North
Santiam highway, the reduction
of taxes, economy in state gov
ernment are the principal
planks" in the various plat
forms.
Uncertainty Marks
Campaign at Present
The number of the candidates,
the lack of issues, the failure of
any aspirant to distinguish him
self by a personal campaign which
ill command the spotlight,
throws doubt over the race and
makes prediction of winners dif
ficult if not impossible.
In the field are three aspirants

Gee would remain in command.
The document proclaiming bmp-

George Hughes, 41 year old ne
gro, in the burning of the Grays
county courthouse, an act -f
'murder and arson. Stripped f
egal verbiage, the proclamattea
was as follows:
"A mob formed In Gray

tempts to take one indicted fer a
felony and In their efforts -de
stroyed the orderly proceedings
a regularly and legally constitutes)
district eourt. When the sheriff
resisted the attempts, members
of the mob committed the offen
ses of murder and arson by setting
fire to the court house and de
stroying the life of the prisoner.
"The mob then engaged in a
outburst of vandalism and acta
constituting arson; officers and
members of the national guard
were illegally assaulted.
"Reputable citizens and offi
cers of Sherman, including Judsje

the safety of citizens and have ad
vised that a declaration of mar

there is imminent danger of tiet
