That • is the question and there iâ even a question as to whether f the Republican nominee is an important matter to consider - in the answering of it. ' However, we Americans like a race a&4 it mustbe admitted that there is a certain interest in this one. There axe seven—none of then? look hungry al though one has made his lack of financial resources a part of his campaign. They look like this to one observer. Sam Brown: every one says he is honest; many add, “but misguided”. He favors public ownership; is popular with his fellow farmers in the central Willamette valley; is known as progressive; is short, solid, and sixty. . > E P Dodd: only candidate from eastern Oregon; is building his campaign on river development; has been busi ness man, editor, aud is now head of a waterway lehgue. He is n. t extensively known over the state. Joe Dunne: hi^ physical development bears no resem blance but politically he reminds one of a flea: always jump ing around from popular idea to popular idea He has been state senator from Multnomah ahd Clackamas counties for years; introduces the most bills; talks the most; into this; into that. Nevertheless has a fair chance for the nomina tion because of his agressiveness during the campaign. . Charles Hall: has been up before; caused the election of Pierce; wants to protect stock holders in utilities He has been banker, telephone magnate in Coos county. Not con sidered likely to win * Rufus Holman: state treasurer; has been ccr.cerned - with governmental affairs for years and knows about gov ernment; conceited; always bickering; friends say because he is always right, enemies say because Tie has a btd dispo* sition; has fair chance because his name is known. If elect ed he would bè governor, and if permitted to appoint suc cessor as treasurer, would be the whole show. Frank Lonergan: Multnomah rèpresntative fôr years, capable legislator; fine orator. In disfavor in rural districts because of his defense of numerous malefactors in his ca pacity as attorney Will get a big vote iff Portland. _ r General McAlexander: retired major-general; Rock of the Marne,.world war hero; backed by veterans; makes fine impression because of his apparent sintètity about his plat ‘ form. Wants to cut expenses, curtail crime; pacify waring school factions » * --------- O--------- GOOD, SO FAR — Whether the country as a whole is to harvest a good crop or not it looks now as if a goodly part of this county may be expected to do,so First worry was about the light winter next was about the possibility of the wheat growing too rank and being frosted in a cold spring Neither of these disasters have materialized to any extent and now the only harerd to be overcome is the lack of moisture of a hot irgyg before harv^^ •- That is norm»il and c ustomary. Weeds are more numerous than usual but within the last week or two much ot the when' has stretched up above the weeds and thé fields look better than they have at any time during the early spring At least two thirds of the county will have a better than normal crop if the weatl er man tends average weather for another six wteks. The county cannot exceed its production because of the reduc tion ip acreage but it can. and may, raise more wheat than It has for four years even with curtailed acreage Uncle Sam may need it too as last year in fact. According to modern economics that is B sign of prosperity ------ e------- Beer was originally manufactured to cool drinkers down .. .not to warm them up and the move to reduce the alcoholic content to 3.6 will aid this. ------ O------- The move to monetize more silver will be unpopular as lone as the country thinks that those favoring it are holders of silver bullion That sort of business has been rretty well ___ ■ Dodd is. undone, for Dunne, and all done as a gubernator ial candidate and asks his friends to support Joe Dunne. Last we heard of him he was going to be elected easily. A bank was robbed in Oklahoma by some one^else than - the Dillinger gang,. John will feel badly about that. It looks like the kick-back wage contracts are about to kick-back -------------------- Beer dispensers must be rather quiet about their busi ness if the new ruling of the liquor commission holds. Folks used teffind ¡»-in cellars, maybe they can without signs. . PAGE r ==========5==!^=^^ ments.
