Limelight; Statement
of Policy Studied
By C. A. SPRAGUE
Eugene was the political capi
tal of Oregon yesterday. The gov
ernor was there; but the polar
point -was Senator Fred Steiwer's
room In the Eugene hotel. Stel
wer was in town for the football
game as were many political big
wigs from over the state. He was
there also to make a big decision,
whether to run for reelection to
the US senate. One of the men
he wanted -to consult was Judge
Lawrence T. Harris of Eugene,
whq was his strong backer when
in 1926 he stepped out to unseat
Robert Stanfield. Despite the
pleadings of strong republicans,
Steiwer followed his inclination
to retire from the political arena
at the end of his present term.
Steiwer's announcement caught
republicans flat-footed. His re
nomination had been conceded. In
recent days when news of his Im
pending retirement got abroad
there was hasty studying of eligi
bles. With Steiwer out, many with
political ambitions will canvass
possible support if they should
seek tho senatorial toga. Names
mentioned, and candidates are in
the name stage only, include
James W. Mott, only republican
congressman from Oregon, Earl
Snell, secretary of state, Frank
Franciscovich, president of the
senate, Douglas McKay, state sen
ator. The political wheel of for
tune, which has paused for a
week ' while people held their
breath for the Steiwer decision,
will now whirl vigorously.
The other significant develop
ment of the week was Earl Snell's
frank declaration that the Al-phonse-Gaston
stuff doesn't go
with him. Irked by reports that
he would not run for governor jf
Governor Martin is a candidate,
the secetary of state made' It
plain in a Portland speech that
Martin in or Martin out would
make no difference in his deci
sion. It was a signal that Snell
is feeling the public pulse and will

"There is no guarantee of es
