Sawyer Most Generally Mentioned Norblad Cuts Short His Stay In East, Report Reach ing Salem Only five months ago the eiti cens of Oregon awoke to find a beloved governor had gone on. Today these same citizens are realizing that the standard bear er of the republican party, a man marked for his directness and bis leal in their interests, has follow ed the path Into the tomorrow. Fire .months ago these citizens faced the task of selecting a nom iruee; today the choice is entrusted to 38 republicans, one from each county in Oregon, to whom under the Oregon statute is made man datory the selecting of George W. Joseph's successor. Thus while sorrow everywhere v.-as expressed over Mr. Joseph's sudden demise, the philosophy of "the king is dead; long live the king held sway yesterday as on street comer and in business house the questions of another standard bearer was discussed. Norblad Coming Home Early, Word Governor Al W. Norblad, for the second time In a short space of five months, was faced by the sudden death of one whose for tunes and destiny was Inextrica bly mingled with his own. This time Mr. Norblad had nothing to say. Reached in Chi cago by noon Monday he gave out word of his sorrow and announced he would be back in Oregon by Friday, indicating his interests in affairs Inasmuch as less than three weeks of bis contemplated month's trip will bars-slassed by the Ume.he, again plants his toot on Oregon soil. At the same time. his lieutenant in eastern Oregon, Jay Upton of Bend, declared Nor blad the logical successor of Jo seph inasmuch as he received within 6000 of as many votes as the late senator. Upton's statement gave the cue to Norblad's undoubted candidacy for favor at the hands of the state central committee. As runner-up in the primaries Norblad has the argument of the next in line to the people's choice. Turn to Page 6 Col.

He was president of the state association-: in 1920. Mr. Goodrich is running on an educa tional platform based on tne worK that has been started in tne eon cational committee.

This has been accom plished to a certain extent In Portland. Mr. Goodrich -la also desirous of placing group insurance into effect for the music teachers of the state and he is ambitious to raise the standard of require ments for membership In the state association.

Miss Frances 5 Virrinie Melton, president of the' Salem district of the state association and director of piano and theory of Willam ette university Js the third can didate. . i The latter candidates are being placed in the field on their merit and because it fs felt by a large number of the- association that Portland has had the presidency long enough. ; a stray bullet.

Pos sibility that the valley and Salem ill miss seeing themselves in film was seen last night after the American Legion executive com mittee got busy to discuss the mo tion picture frolic held here Sat urday night. The frolic, which seems to have been a flop generally, was spon sored by the Dagniar Pictures of Hollywood, with cooperation of Capital Post No. 9 of the Legion. The local Legion post had also agreed to back the valley film which the Dagmar company pro posed to make. The Legion's counts against the Frolic were directed chiefly at the type of entertainment and the admission price, according to Com mander O. E. Palmateer. L. Jack Sherry, director of the picture company, and C. H. van Slyke, cameraman, were before the Le gion committee last night, and Sherry is said to have admitted to the committee that his "gigan tic frolic" was a flop. Echoes of discontent at - the performance put on at. the frolic, which advance word from the stu dios had declared to be a real event, filtered to The Statesman office yesterday, as well as to the Legion, and seemed to rest large ly on these points: 1. Only part of the program as announced from the studios was given. 2. But a very few of the screen tests, stated to be the backbone of the frolic, were shown. 3. Price of Si was exhorbitant. 4. The motion picture announ ced to have been filmed at the frolic was actually filmed else where. 6. The entire entertainment was slow, and without apparent di rection. Spectators did consider able booing at the program.
