COIN IS URGED
TO MAKE RACE;
SERVING LINN
Sclo Sclo and other Linn county
friends of 8. H. Ooln, farmer a
few miles west of this city, have
expressed a desire to have him file
his petition for candidacy for the
state legislature. While no definite
statement In Ooln'l behalf has been
authorized, so far as has been made
public here. It Is believed by those
near him that he might be in a re
ceptive mood in this matter it it Is
the will of a sufficient number 01
electors that he make the race at
the May primary election for one of
the positions in the lower house of
the state legislature.
Goln was elected a member of
the house at the election of 1823,
along with A. K. McMahan. Albany
attorney. 8. M. Garland. Lebanon
lawyer, was elected to the senate
at the same time. All are demo
crats and were elected In a county
normally considered strongly rcpub
llcan.
Ooin was born and reared In
Linn county and still resides on the
farm on which he was born, near
Greens bridge, about five miles
west of Scio. He is from pioneer
stock and has spent his life as
farmer in the immediate vicinity
of Sclo. He is familiar with (Tie
needs of the farmer, having mad?
special study and observation In
that field. His record as a mem
ber of the house 10 years ago
that of a conscientious, hard work
er and a square shooter, and friends
are united in the belief that he
should consent again to serve his
constituency at the ptesent time,
they urge, when the sterling quali
ties he embodies are so much need
ed in public office.
