Hon. Dinger Hermann, of
Itosoburg, was in our city Tues
day, visiting old acquaintances
knd making new ones. Mr.
Hermann is a candidate for rep
resentative from the first dis
trict. While in Independence
he added many remlniscenses of
years long past of which Polk
county's oldest citizens will well
remember.
A little over 18 years ago he
was first elected as a congress
man from Oregon; since that
time he has served six terms in
that capacity and six years as
commissioner of the U. S. land
office. Previous to this time he
was register of the land office at
Roseburg, Oregon. It was be
fore this, and while he was in
the state legislature that Hon. J.
L. Collins, now of Dallas, and
lion. Mr. Dimmick were both
sent from Polk county for the
same office in the state legisla
ture. That body was then dem
ocratic and Mr. Collins was not
allowed the privileges. He
stated that he thought our for
mer county judge, J. Stouffer,
recently of Dallas, but now de
ceased, was a member. While
here he mentioned that J. II.
Moran and L. Damon, both well
known townsmen of ours, helped
to secure him his nomination
for congress for the first time
