Gable was the spark plug of the
State of Jefferson, that amazing
secession movement of five border
counties who thought their rich
mineral and timber lauds were be
ing neglected by the parent states
of Oregon and California.
Gable was never what he claimed
to be: “A hick Mayor of a West
ern Coast town.” He was a smooth,
cosmopolitan product with clothes
cut bv a New York tailor and an
acquaintance list built up from 11
years as a public relations man for
Bell Telephone Company in Phil-
adelphia.
For the dramatics of it, he liked
to pose as just a small tow n mayor.
Gable probably knew that his
49th State and secession movement
would never be accomplished. But
hc knew the weakness of state leg
islatures, the pin pricks of ad
verse publicity, and he used them
neatly.
But death beat him to the knock
out punch.
