Naturally, in Polk, his home county he will receive a handsome endorsement, but in the other parts of the state there is a growing sentiment for him. With so many candidates and so many crqss currents, it is somewhat difficult to determine with any decree of accuracy the trend of sentiment, but as near as it can be ascertained Patterson-is the strognest contender, with Olcott second. In the farming communities, the Polk man is particularly strong. A dirt farmer lumselt, he has promised to see that their tax burden is made lighter, and his sincerity is not questioned by those who are familiar with his rugged character. - . The direct primary is a failure in the estimation of the Oregonian and this view is shared by many others. This system of nominating candidates does not always function as well as it should, it must be admitted. Abolish it, and then what? Back to the old convention days? If the trend is backward, then why not abolish elec tions as well, and thus change ofcir form of government? If the people are incompetent to select their candidates, then they must likewise be incompetent to voice their sentiment in an election. Petitions containing more than the required number of signatures have been filed with the secretary of state demanding the recall of Fred G. Buchtel and Fred A. Williams, members of the Oregon public service com mission.' As neither is expected to resign during the five day stay of proceedings, which the lw provided after the filing of the petitions, it is probable that the issue will be brought before the voters at the coming primares. It is intimated, however, that the legality of the recall act is to be questioned. The appointment of John H.' Farrar as postmaster of Salem is recognition of faithful service. While it is true that in the'eivil service examination, August Huckenstein, the democrtic incumbent, ranked nearly three percent higher than Farrar, it should likewise be taken into consid eration that Farrar has been an employe of. the Salem postoffice since 1899, the last 16 years being deputy postmaster. PATTERSON FOR GOVERNOR Chicago landlords are to be boycotted. It is anndunced that 25,000 families will live in tents in the forest preserves ji i i i ' it i. j : i,iu near mat city during me summer iu avuiu paying mgu rentals. The Chicago Tenants' Protective league has been organized and the-tenting will be systematized. This is a combination in restraint of trade. A decision in the highway case by Judge Kelley has been expected for some little time by local folks, but it has noft yet materialized. Possibly this may be a case of where good things come slowly. Political Announcements and Statements TO THE VOTERS OF POLK COUNTY, OREGON After announcing myself as a cand idate for the Reublican nomination for County Commissioner, I feel that the people are entitled to know for what I stand and what they can ex pect should I receive the nomination tmd am elected 1 earnestly believe in and will sup port the following: Will work for a good economic business administration. Will endeavor to reduce the tax levy without sacrificing necessary es sentials and, as a heavy tax payer, I am keenly interested in thi3 grave necessity and I believe that the en actment of the proposed State income tax measure will be a long step in this direction.

Will stand for County employees' wages being placed on the same basis as other wages throughout the country and keep the number of employees to the minimum. Will stand for each road district getting the seventy percent tax levy, as by law provided, and the balance of the road money, or the other thirty percent, will be equitably distributed.

Adv. i FOR POLK REPRESENTATIVE I beg to announce my candidacy on the Republican ticket for the nomi nation of representative in the state legislature from the 11th district (Polk couny).

E.FLETCHER mlO-tf POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENT I am a candidate for joint repre sentative from Lincoln and Polk counties subject to the will of the Republican electors at the primary election in May, 1922. 24-tf B. F. JONES. TO THE VOTERS OF POLK COUNTY On the basis of my record in the last session of the legislature, I am announcing myself as a candidate for 're-election to the office of Repre sentative for Polk county. P. O. POWELL 24-tf ANNOUNCEMENT I hereby announce myself as candi date for renomination as County com missioner for Polk County, Oregon, subject to the will of the Republican voters at the primary, May 19, 1922. T. J. GRAVES al4-tf Senator Isaac Lee Patterson is Polk county's candidate for governor. There are reasons for believing that he will win, and certainly Polk county is for him. Almost to a man local pwple would not only like to see him elected to the placo, but believe that ho is thoroughly capable of filling the position in a highly creditable manner. Without exception we know Senator Patterson. Ho has been among via practically his entire life. He is one of us, and we will all vote ; for him. But we have a still further ( duty. It should be our pleasure to j send forth to every iriena we nave in the state a letter asking support of Senator Patterson. This plea does not have to be based upon the fact that Patterson is our neighbor ami friend. It can be put upon the high ground that he has proven himself capable of filling any and every position to which he has been chosen, and is truly of gubernatorial size. If you read the democratic news papers of the state you will not find anything but criticism for Senator Patterson. These democrats do not like Senator Patterson. He is always a republican. But you will search long without finding criticism in republican newspapers. And do not lose sight of the fact that Polk coun ty will benefit by Senator Patterson's election. -He knows this county and its needs, his home is within the county, and he can be relied upon to see that justice is done. The county needs a friend when it comes to road matters. Dallas Observer. The family of R. G.

If it were possible to make a bete oil AanZEROLENE t fais mmpany would imalce it" The President of the Standard Oil Company California), author of the statement quoted above, is right in believing that Zerolene is the best motor oil made. The lubrication engineers of this company have proved it rcpeatedly,by means of thousands of dynamometer and road tests of Zerolene and competing oils. The reasons for Zcrolene's superiority are: First, that the Standard Oil Company (California) possesses resources of( crude oil and of manufacturing equipment and personnel that are unsurpassed in the entire petroleum industry. Sec ond, that the engineers and chemists of this company havc, from the beginning, been given carte blanche to make full use of these exceptional resources, and to spend all the time and money needed to develop a lubricant ideally suited to the needs of the modern internal combustion engine. At the President's request, we are undertaking to tell the motorists of the Pacific Coast the story of Zerolene. We shall do this by means of a series of signed statements in the public press. These statements will set forth in plain lan-1 foliage the requirements of an efficient motor lubricant, and the detailed reasons vrhy Zerolene mect3 these require ments perfectly. 1 STANDARD OIL COMFANY (Oi$amfc)
