He has the backing of nearly every newspaper in Oregon, and many of the papers of the state have com mented most favorably on his can didacy ' The Molalla Pioneer in its last week's issue has the following to-aay anent the candidacy of Mr. Hoss, all of which meets with the ideas 01 The Maupin Times. -- "Some months ago Ha! E. Hoss, announced that he would be a can didate for the position of secretary of state, which is an open field this season as Secretary, Koter cannot again aspire- to succeed himself. "Hal is one of those men who puts his cards on the table and takes the public into his. confidence, and in a business like way bids or the Job. "There -are none who deny that he is a stronir candidate and that it will require an unusual man and an expensive campaign to beat him. , "Hal is just the right kind of a man to appeal to tha imagination of the voter and win his approval At present he is the very efficient, cour teous, thoughtful private secretary 10 Governor Patterson. "At the time of his appointment he was the manager of the Oregon City Enterprise and Its extensive commercial printing establishment. During the time its owner, E. E. Bro die, was minister to Siam, Hr. Hoss managed the affairs of the concern in such a way as to win business and 4riiiia - ir hia mWr, Hal has hundreds of friends scat tered throughout the state who are anxiuos to get busy in the interest of his candidacy and only await the comng of the proper time to torn loose in his behalf "He has many appealing qualities. He is a young man. He has come from the bottom up by his own ef. forts, He has never dabbled in peS ty, selfish politics. . His J Influence Has. always been lor community up building. In this he is tireless. He is neer too busy or crowded with per sonal duties to respond to a cail for effort which will advance his county or city, "He is a very capable youn.t n an. He has d genius for organitation and systematic work. He will bring !no that office, if lected, just the qua! itics required tq make it a success. "He will appeal to the business man who knows the value of rew blood in' business. He will appeal to the' working man because in Hal ,he,fiadS a man acquainted with every struggle of the worker from his own experience." This, not x a fktlous way employed by the' professional politician, but actual and recent 1W ing conditions. The fact that by hird work and brainy effort he is improving his own condition gives the working man courage to see his own opportunity. It is difficult to think of I, finding a candidate any where wilh a greater drawing power for the working man's vote" "For years Hal has worked for the. interests of Orojvi newspapers. He has not done it as a politician, but, as a publisher wh( understood ti l was ready to do any amount of w nk to advance the cant. Mf tha newspapers of One go h. He will re ceive a 'tremendous newspaper sup port, not as a po'.'l'elan, but as a 1'ihn. . . ' "Mr. Hos3 is free from political en hrglcmentB.
