Jonathan Bourne Jr., who is boasting for Poindexter from bis offices In Washington. D. C.. is be ginning to make a fight on Hoover, which looks like he feared him. That Albany, Alabama, couple, MT. and Mrs. Poeey Livingstone, who are reported to have produced tw o sets of triplets within a period o f fifteen months, would no doubt be given a warm welcome in kaiser- land. • Rose busehes that were killed down to the snow line by the freeae In December should be cut back at a few inches above the ground, re moving all the dead wood, as early as possible. W ith this done, new grow th will come on rapidly with good weather, producing an abun dance o f bloom. ' LESTER C. REES POST AMERICAN LEGION NEWBERG, OREGON In order to make the ground hog story come true the weather man must be good to Newberg for the next six weeks and at the same time g iv e Portlanders the shivers, for •never a squint did Mr. Groundhog g e t at his shadow here on last Mon day, while the sun came out at Portland and gave him a chance to lick himself. » « B A gentleman who was for years a factor In politics In Portland, figh tin g in the republican ranks, re marked recently to the writer that In case Hoover should bd turned down by the republicans, which was probable, the democrats would grab him. with the result that he would be elected. He said he was not particularly strong for Hoover him- *elf, but that there were enough voters who were for him to insure bis election if he shuld be nominated. -J~ W -I*"*" • ■ - • -K _ Fills will be required at both ends o f the new bridge on First street j which w ill require time for settling before the paving is done and unless work is begun on it soon the long j looked fqijr^tlme when the new bridge may ■ be thrown open for travervrm be extended another peri od or** two. The public has been v e ry patient over delays that have seemingly been unavoidable but any further delays that may be occa sioned from lack of alertness w ill be severely and justly criticised. V t T H O O V ES FOE PR ESID EN T Indications are multiplying that a considerable proportion of both re publican and democratic voters be- lieve Herbert Hoover to be the best j qualified citizen of the United States to be elected to the presi dency, says the Oregon Voter. Ore gon will indicate her choice May 21 g i the primaries. Front the present feeling, it would appear that those candidates for national delegate, on cither party ticket, who Btate clear ly that they are for Hoover first, last and all the time, will stand a good chance of being chosen. It is not impossible that Hoover may receive both the republican and democratic nominations. The poli ticians of neither party want him, although the politicians of the dem- ocratic party probably would be ! eager to take advantage of failure | o f the republican convention to Dominate him. But a large element c f the people are tired of party, and they may be numerous enough through the direct primary to force the nomination of a candidate in whom they believe more than they helleve in any candidate whose oom- taation campaign is being engineered hjr politicians. The fact that Hoover spent a part o f his boyhood and youth in Oregon w ill not militate again # his chances in this state. But the big thing with most people is that be bas demonstrated capacity to accomplish vast results— has proyen himself to be the biggest figure of the war — and that so far as America is con cerned. his results were based so la rgely on faith In the patriotism of «h e American people and his success fu l use of the confidence reposed in 3rim hy the people when they made Hood sacrifices under his inspiration and leadership. Hoover has come through fire with little criticism, w hile Ms achievements were glgan- tie.
