State Campaign is Active
But Lacks Fire due to
National Contest
Democrats not so Certain
Roosevelt Will Carry
' r Oregon With Ease
By SHELDON F. SACKETT
Oregon enters the . last two
weeks of the pre-election cam
paign with the greatest interest
manifested since the three-corner-,ed
fight of 1912.
The state campaign ft going
along In quiet sort of way with
state, congressional and municipal
candidates out working hard but
without the fireworks which ac
company such races in a non-presidential
year.
Hal E. Hoss, without the oppo
sition of Governor ifeier and with
the latter's tacit endorsement,
seems certain to hold the secre
tary of state's job. Eastern Ore
gonians say J. W. Malone of Pen
dleton will "come over the moun
tains' with a 10.000 majority
over Rufus C. Hofman,, The latter
has been trying to secure a guber
natorial endorsement, to date
without success. Holman, with the
advantage of publicity, of super
ior ability In talking what the
voters want to hear in deacones
que fashion, seems to have the
edge over the less conspicuous
democrat who opposes him for
the treasurership although the
most ardent democrats say that
this is their year; everything from
dog-catcher up is going to be
changed.
Mott Working Hard;
Fears Starkweather
James W. Mott has a list of
speaking engagements for the last
two weeks which looks as full as
first-timers engagements in Paris
for Mott fears Starkweather a bit.
fears the wave of discontent
which might give victory o a
democrat. Mott will probably win;
in policy he is fully as liberal and
unorthodox as his democratic op
ponent in the first congressional
district. For example, with both
national candidates committed
against the soldiers' bonus, Mott
holds rigorously to his original
stand for a full, cash payment of
all bonus claims' He holds as pif
fle any thought of financial dis
tress occasioned thereby and tells
his audiences that the disburse-;
ment of $2,300,000,000 in gov
ernment money to the soldiers
would start prosperity back.
Word comes from eastern Ore
gon that Walter M. Pierce's pat
ent medicine has some of the po
tency of 1922 and that he and his
capable wife are making votes
wherever they go. Robert Butler
has lost caste with many eastern
Oregonians because of his polit
ical dryness and personal wet
ness. Eastern Oregon is vastly dls
satisfied with conditions as they
are and may sweep all 1ns out.
Homer Angell, the most capable
republican nominee for the third
congressional district in years, is
Eoinr to give General Martin a
tussle in Portland. Angell has al
ways been a large vote getter. He
is a progreessire in thought but
conservative enough to get the
regular party vote. He is a force
ful legislator ana able cam
paigner.
Hewitt's Campaign
Enigma to Experts
Roy R. Hewitt's campaign for
supreme court Judge is somewhat
f an enigma. In the primaries
few political observers picked
Hewitt as the runner-up in a field
of four. Chief Justice Bean, seek
ing reelection, has the advantage
of experience, of a name which
carries great weight among Ore
gon voters. He has the 'disad
vantage of age, he has been forced
to conduct a quiet, vicarious cam--paign
while Hewitt for ' three
months has been .working the
state by platform and through or
ganisations as thoroughly , as a
candidate for the supreme court
judgeship ever campaigned. The
race is by no means of certain out
come. Democratic observers who try
to speak politically are less san
guine - of carrying . Oregon , for
Roosevelt than they were three
weeks ago. They count primarily
on we want a change," and it
"couldn't be worse! as the rea
sons for democratic victory on No
vember t. The more many demo
crats have heard of Roosevelt, the
less they have liked their amiable,
wishy-washy candidate. On the
other hand as Hoover has un
leashed his attack and appeared
less the engineer and more the
dynamic leader of a nation, his
strength lias grown, ' '. ; -
One extremely astute political
leader of the last two. decades la
