WALTER AFTER LABOR'S VOTE (Continued trom Pago 1.) to dlscourago Wnltor becauso no matter how many labor votes Wnltor Sets ho is going to be cleaned when tlio final tally is taken and conse quently ho may go as far as ho likes. Whothor Wcltor Is doing it him self or not, it is unquestionable that some ot his friends are working quietly in tho union labor ranks trying to foment troublo for the governor. Thoy aro spreading the poison that tho governor is opposed to union labor; that ho has been down on organized labor trom tho flrst and has lambasted It on every occasion ho has had an opportunity to do so. This brand ot underground pussy Tooting Is not meeting with the gen eral respOnso that might bo expected. Tho fact ot tho matter is that union labor men realize that Walter XMerca hasn't tho ghost of a show to bo governor of tho stato during tho next fow years at least. Thoy recognlzo that tho present governor 'Is tho big factor that will cut tho gubernatorial cheeso for four year? tnoro, and tho shrewd labor leaders aro taking no chances on antagoniz ing tho powers that bo on tho slim shoestring of Plerco's possibility of cutting in. They realize that "it can't bo did" and the word is go ins to go down tho lino accordingly. Neither ono ot the candidates Is "going to got all ot tho union labor voto, becauso union labor 1h decid edly Independent In its political thinking, and many i politicians luis hung hlmsolt In effigy by tho bollet that union labor was mndo up of a bunch of sawdust brained boobs, As clear thinking men ns tuny bo found nnywhoro nro found In tho ranks of union labor and thoy aro generally throughout tho rank and (Ho ns wlso to tho political situation as nro tho lenders. They voto pretty well tho way thoy plenso nnd a good guess Is that Governor Wlthycombo will lnnd as tnnny union labor votes in November ns does Waller Plorco nnd by tho way, n dnrn sight moro of tho farmer votes thnn does Friend Plorco. Good nows for Ccntrnl Oregon stockmon tins boon rccolvcd by tho public service commission with word from tho railroad administration that tho rate on corn shipments for stock feed tins bcon cut down from n prospoctlvo rlso to 61 cents to a final rato ot 56 conts on a hundred pounds. Tho old rato was -15 cents and n lG-cont increase was contem plated. A protest from the commis sion, however, brought tho change, and it is believed that tho new In crenso will bo met with equanimity by tho Eastern Dragon, stockralsors. Tho proposed rfso to 61 cents was considered prohibitive nnd would havo given tho great stock business n decided black oyo ns many farmers depend largely upon Nebraska corn to fatten Oregon cattle. Tho change will no doubt bo benoficlnt to the beof market. Stato Engineer John H. Lowls will probably remain on tho Job as stato engineer nnd membor ot the desert land board. Ho has been flirting with tho Warm Springs irrigation project and that project has In turn bcon flirting with tho capital Issues committee In tho hopo that tho com mittee would allow tt to tlont $750, 000 worth ot bonds. Tho commlttco has turned down tho proposal, and while tho company Is still flirting and Lowls will go with tho project It tho flirting proves to bo success ful, doubts aro entertained nlong that lino nnd indications aro that ho will remain as stato engineer. The governor has given nssuranco that ho will reappoint him it ho decides to remnln in tho service of tho stato and In all probability ho will so ro main.
