Both were active supporters of Harry L. Corbett, the moat ultra-coneorva- tive candidate in the recent primaries. They have swung to the other ex treme and are championing the Jo seph program, which waa the antithe sis of everything Corbett stood for. Mr. Joseph's platform demanded public ownership of hydro-electric power, and the Dennis support of Meier is peculiar in view of the im pression that the Dennis newspapers in Klamath Falls are very friendly to the California-Oregon Power com pany, which is part of the so-called “power trust” Tt was Dennis, as a state senator, who promoted a con stitutional amendment which would have prevented the people of Oregon from voting on a state income tax and hay crops seem to hsve been for years.

Chapman, editor of the Ore gon Voter, who is an enthusiastic sup porter of Phil Metachan for governor, although he says that Metachan was not his first choice for nomination at the hands of the republican state cen tral committoe, emphatically denies, rnd correctly, that Metschan did any manipulating to secure the nomina tion. In the last Voter he tells why Metschan was nominated, in the fol lowing short paragraph: In one cense, the nomination of Phil Metschan by the republican state committee a week ago wm inevitable. The membership of the committee in cluded so many who had worked with Phil for years and who knew him well. They were frank to admit that his candidacy did not have in it the elements of appeal to the general public. Among some of these mem bers, attachment to Phil was so strong that they voted for him from the start. Others set sside their own personal regard for Phil and voted for candidates who they feH would be better vote-getter«. But, as their efforts in behalf of their respective candidates failed, they drifted to Phil as to one whom they knew as a friend and exteemed for his character and ability. That is the real reason why he was nominated. State Fair, Sept. 22-28 ¿£» > TRUCKS $725 AND UP Geo. F.
