He remains the man to beat. The last week has seen an or ganized drive by the Meier-Han-ten-Bowerman, et al, forces to push the cause of the man they think best suited to Jeat Hol man. Since General McAlexander appeared to hare about as much chance of success aa the Unknown Soldier, the Hanzen clique has tlipped off to follow and di rect new polltcal stars. The general continues to pursue his straight-forward, vigorous cam paign, either not knowing or car ing that the professionals who had first espoused his have grown cold. The fact is that McAlex ander is as level-headed and fair as any of the republican aspirants but the crowd that first backed him wants a winner a Holman 3eater, and his personal qualities are secondary. Buildup for Dunne Proceeds Feverishly Thus the Dunne boomlet em erged and for seven days the buildup has been to put the Mult nomah senator over. Dodd of Her mlston was the first candidate-victim and now can be heard over the radio telling Dunne's qualifica tions. The drive has been on to get McAlexander to Join the ranks and march with Dunne as com mander bo far without success. f - - 0 - 4 . 29 V . s Vote 14 r. v. ... C O.

" Pd.AdT. i Frank Lonergan'a campaign has' all the trappings of a great race billboard ads, extensive newspaper space, cards, radio ad dresses, pald-workerg. Yet Lon ergan, with his save-the-schools and I-am-for-mother's day work, cannot be said to be ahead. If anything is certain about next Friday it is the strong plur ality, perhaps majority, which Marion county republicans are going to give Sam Brown. His political opponents admit that Brown has been over in eastern Oregon several times breaking bread with the farmers and his plain-spokenness and ruddy mien has won him friends in that scarcely populated district. The real unjumped hurdle to the Ger vai8 man is Portland and Its sur rounding territory along with southern Oregon and the coast. His camp followers say he is defi nitely first in the race, grow irate at talk of his withdrawal for Dunne and say Brown is going to be governor. Marion county wouldn't object to this an lota but the thought remains with many of the Brown voters here that their ballots are complimen tary to a picturesque home boy and no assurance whatever that the ."$40 and a Ford" trek is a victorious one. Abrams Holds Lead In Valley Counties Carle Abrams will carry Marion county with a sizeable majority. There has been talk in Salem among small groups that the en ergetic Snell campaign would turn the tide against Abrams. A cross section of city and county voting strength doesn't confirm the view. Abrams is expected to draw well ahead in all the valley counties. While he spent three intensive days as the week closed in eastern Oregon, the omens there are for Snell: that section of the state wanting a man on the board of control. All of which means the race for secretary of state, re publican party, will be decided in Portland and from reports coming VOTE 16 X 0. A.

On the democratic side, Joe Shelton apears the favorite with Walters of Corvallis second. J. M. Devers has tardily begun his campaign to unseat James W. Mott and unless there is more anti-Mott feeling in this district than is out in the open, Deverb can hardly expect to unseat the incumbent. Devers great strength is in the coast counties which ap preciate his superior and all-important service in securing the coast bridges: a Job every candi date seems to want to claim as his own especial accomplishment. W. A. Delzell has the decided edge in the valley in the demo cratic congressional race. John D. Goss will carry southern Ore gon. Flip a nickle to determine whether It. R. Turners attack on his two opponents has helped or hindered him. If it has helped. he's in the running; if he has lost any fraction of his support he is out, for until the Delzell and Goss vs. Turner scrap came up the latter was running behind. Circuit Judge Bagley of Wash ington county seems to have made but little dent in Justice Rand's strength. An enactment of the 1933 legislature enabling the lat ter to place the word "incumbent" after his name on the ballot. helps Rand while the sores of the old Joseph fight have been healed or do not remain in enough spots to keep Rand down. The Marion county and City of Salem campaigns are quiet and orderly. Even less than the state campaign, the races here have been marked for lack of Issues and dominant personalities. The candidates are out working, fe verishly, whether the Job be con stable it pays J150 a month at that or head of the county court, which pays at the same rate. In each instance whether there are more than two candi dates for the nomination it seems likely a plurality will win. The vote itself is going to De light. David O'Hara of the se retary of state's office, the lead ing member of the official family brains trust on elections, says 5a per cent of the registered voters will turn out which means ll,3a9 out of 20,652 republicans will bal lot in Marion county and 4820 out of 8763 democrats.

Hol man for the republican nomination for governor was received here Saturday from Ariel Burton Pom eroy, representing the Good Gov ernment league at Medford. Pom eroy says his temporary address is Excelsior, Minn.; his perman ent address. Central Point, Jack son county. The resolution in part, reads: "In Rufus C Holman, the people have a guardian of their in terests who may be Judged by his past achievements, attained in the face of a powerfully entrenched opposition. "We have watched these cham pions of the people who have dar ed to challenge the right of dom ination by the power Interests in oar state legislature and courts, and we have pondered over their fate. "Not long ago, Joseph stood be fore as, courageous, successful on the eve of a great trlumpht for the people. Joseph suddenly died. No one can ever take another s place, but always divine providence will send others to carry on the great crusade for social advancement. "So in the southern part of the state, we hear a fearles voice cry ing across a political wilderness of special privilege and vested in terests. This fearless editor of a free press exposed corru. tion wherever it reared its head This voice is now silenced in the walls of a penitentiary. "These patriots may seem to vanish but not so, for their 'souls go marching on.' Other hands grasp the standard ere it falls. "And now, Rufus C. Holman stands before you, the man of the hour, offering to serve you more fully as governor even as he has faithfully served you as treasurer. "In him you will have a Just governor for this beautiful state of Oregon. He will be a true fath er to all the people within her borders, and an able defender of our sacred and time honored Am erican institutions." Huge Balances of Funds Held Bad, Ratcliff Opposition to the practice of carrying large cash balances by the Marion county court at little or no interest return, was ex pressed yesterday by C. A. Rat cliff, candidate tor the republican nomination as county commission er. Ratcliff said the court in the last decade had carried average balances as high as one million dollars, meanwhile paying 5 y per cent interest on a large bond issue. Ratcliff said he would favor an open and complete budget, made annually by the court, showing the true condition of Marion county finances. He said he favored main- V.

P Endorsement of the Salem Teachers' association of an edu cational policy which calls for state redemption of otherwise un cashable school district warrants tallies with a program set forth by State Representative Otto K. Paulus as a major plank in con nection with his candidacy for the Oregon state senate. Paulus in a letter to teachers, has set out that by the end of 1934 the state deficit will be re duced to $1,750,000, the state hav ing reduced its deficit $1,000,000 annually.. Since this deficit is largely a bookkeeping affair rather than a cash deficit, as state moneys come in, school district warrants can be purchased, and when paid, the money returned to proper Btate funds. Some of the Investment funds of the state also could be used to fund these uncashable but sound school warrants. Paulus said the present school situation is bad and is been taken care of largely by direct gifts from the federal government without assurance these moneys will con tinue. The local teachers' group ap proved state funding of warrants in a formal resolution approved by Shannon Hogue, .president, and T. H. Mackenzie, treasurer.
