FALL BY GOOD VOTE
In the race for the governshlp this
fall Dr. C. J. Smith will carry Port
land In the view of Judge William
Galloway, newly chosen grand master
of the Odd Fellows, who Is enroute
home from Spokane, judge Galloway
Is now occupying the clcrcult bench
at Salem and was written In by the
democrats at the recent primary as a
candidate for supreme Judge. He Is
the father of Attorney Galloway, law
partner of Judge A. S. Bennett of The
Dalles.
"In my view the race for governor
will be close this fall," said Judge
Galloway. "Dr. Wlthycombe may have
considerable support from sections
where he has a wide acquaintance
through his institute work, but Dr.
Smith will carry the larger centers.
I feel there Is no doubt he will carry
Portland by a good vote."
According to Judge Galloway there
is a general tendency to glveNscant
attention to party lines in voting and
he does not look to see much of a
partisan contest this fall, the Issues
being largely state Issues.
A factor that will cause Dr. Wlthy
combe to lose many republican votes.
In the view of the Judge, Is remem
brance he was candldiate for endorse
ment for governor before the assembly
held In Portland four years ago. The
assembly was generally considered an
attempt on the part of politicians to
overthrow the direct primary law and
it was resented. The fact he sought
the assembly nomination and did not
go before the people at that time,
will cause Dr. Wlthycombe to lose
caste with many progressive republi
cans. RIDE DOWN RIVER WILL RE

INLAND WATERWAYS MEN WILL

When the Columbia & Snake River
Waterways' association meets at As

ple will all make the trip down by wa
ter, passing through the Celilo canal,
says Prof. W. D.- Lyman, who was
here yesterday from Walla Walla, The
canal will be open for business by
January 1, according to Major Mor
row, constructing engineer, and hence
boats will then be inoperation on a
through run from Portland to the up
per Columbia. At the waterways
meeting held in Portland this year,1
Captain W. H. Gray of Pasco was
made president for the present year.
It will be an active year for the as
sociation in view of the fact that the
Celilo canal will be completed during
the year and the Panama canal will
be opened.
Prof. Lyman Is a candidate tor the.
democratic nomination for congress
man from the fourth district in Wash
ington. He expects to be nominated
and will make the race as a friend of
waterway improvements.
