" ; i to Back His Cause
By RALPH C. CURTIS
The governorship contest in
the democratic party is cleanly
and sharply defined right now.
Whether It will continue to be,
depends upon who else, if anyone,
jumps into the race.
The announcement by Dr. J. F.
Hosch, Deschutes county state
represents tire, that he will, seek
the democratic nomination,
coupled with strong indications
approaching a certainty that
Governor Charles H.--Martin will
run to succeed himself, auto
matically divides the democrats
of Oregon Into two distinct fac
tions, liberals and conservatives.
each with its champion in the
lists.
Out of Oregon's 199,569 demo
crats so registered at the latest
count, few of those who are dis
satisfied with the record of Gov
ernor Martin, on such issues as
public power, labor, relief and
even liquor, will have much: dilfl?,
eultyvin adjusting their views to
those of the - athletic physician j
from Bend. That ia why the battle
is clearly defined, as it stands
today, regardless of the merits of
those Issues.
"Left" Opposition No
Surprise to Martin
No new Hnes of worry were dis
cernible on the blafld countenance
of Governor Martin as he off
handedly made . passing mention
of Dr. Hosch 's candidacy yester
day. "Let him run" was about all
Martin had to say. The governor
has known all along, as he con
sidered campaigning for a - new
term, the angle from which sop
position would come. Judging
from his recent pronouncements,
he has deliberately courted it.
' Nevertheless," if the issues are
left to stand as they are, Dr.
Hosch Is in position to make it
an exciting race. An Inkling as to
the support he expects appears
In a portion of his initial state
ment as a candidate:
-I believe in the rights and
welfare of the common people. I
am opposed to Governor Martin's
abase of the grange, school
teachers, labor unions, Townsend
ltes, veterans, drouth sufferers
and all other progressive forces
in the state."
In the legislature, Dr. Hosch
was active principally In support
of measures looking toward pub
lic ownership of utilities. It was
he who swayed the house of repre
