MINNEAPOLIS, June 21. (AP) Gov. Elmer A. Benson,
Minnesota, pushed ahead of his challenger, Hjalmar Petersen, ' woes of the times.
E. B. McNaughton, president
of the First National Bank of
Portland, who described himself
as "a conservative on the move,"
made a talk to the Rotary Club
Tuesday in which he urged busi
ness men and others, here and
everywhere, to "stretch the brain
cells" to find answers for the
Human engineering problems
which confront the modern world.
McNaughton assailed "compla
cency in error" as the gravest
danger of the times. Though ex
pressing little faith in the tem
porary relative prosperity which
may come next fall or winter
as the result of pump priming an
other nostrums, he declared his
impatience with those who have
no better plan of action than to
make moan and blame the Roose

had changed hands frequently.
The two farmer-labor candi
date's polled 100,000 votes more
than the four republican aspir
ants, lending credence to the be
lief that thousands of republican
voters had jumped the party
fence in a move designed to eli

Newport To Battle
Toledo For County
Seat Designation
NEWPORT, June 21. W Lin
coln county's largest towns, New
port and Toledo, resumed their
family quarrel today over the
designation of the county sea..
Toledo had the edge by force of
possession in a controversy which
has resulted in public action three
times since the county was sep
arated from Benton in 1893.
Newport last sought designation
as the county seat in 1928 but lost
k.. hw marein. Since then
the voting strength here has in
creased by building developments
along the coast Dom norui .

Tiorfn and West Yaquina re
ceived the highest number of votes
iai mntest with Newport
and Elk City. The voters selected
Toledo as the site of the house
at a run-off election in 1896.
Kownort will open its county seat

Lincoln school: MacLaren, 103;

Following tabulation of the bal
lots Monday night, the school
board convened in special session
and re-elected members to otnee.
The board then re-elected Mrs. E.
A. Lundy as clerk for the eleventh
consecutive time.
Mrs. Clifford Constance, dean or
girls at Eugene high school and
instructor of Spanish, was granted
a year's leave of absence by the
hnarrf. LaDrew ftiosnDerger, oi

Constance's duties as Spanish
teacher, while Miss Iva Curtis will
become dean of girls.
Other business transacted Dy tne
board included the election oi
Miss Marian Notvedt as home eco

"I am a Republican, but I be
lieve I am a different Republican
than I was a year ago," said Mi
McNaughton, describing some of
his experiences on a five week
trip about the United States dur
ing which he and Mrs. McNaugh
ton "avoided banks and first class
hotels and made an effort to find
out what people are really think-!
ing." . i
"It is not necessary to agree ;
with all that has been attempted;
to understand the pressures to
which those in office have been
subjected," said Mr. McNaughton,!
"and I doubt if a Republican ad
ministration would have avoided
all mistakes."
Mr. McNaughton described him
self as "worried but optimistic
as to the future of the United
States and of Oregon. Oregon,
where 86 percent of industry cen
ters on agriculture and forestry
products cannot hope to be very
happy if those two Basic indus
tries are afflicted as they are at
present, he said.
Deplores Penalties
He deplored the penalties which
have come upon the Northwest
lumber industry as the result of
Secretary Hull's efforts in re-;
ciprocal tariff making, yet he ;
declared that the Northwest;
should acknowledge the probable!
long range benefits which will j
accrue from the efforts to lift j
international trade above the level 1
of "taking in each other's wash-j
ing." . , I
.The Industrial ills are mainly i
in the great eastern centers, he
pointd out, and the cure of these,
in his opinion will depend upon
