WALTER PIERCE WILL RUN FOR 60VERN0R Weil-Known Democrat From lji(.ranIo Announces Candidacy Stale Rrnator Walter M. Pierce of 1-aGrande la definitely a candidal for the democratic nomination for gover nor of Oregon. Thle became known yesterday when Senator Pierce con sented to enter the primary fight. 1'rgamr.ation or Urrgon fur tha inning of the war." ia tha alogan which Senator Pierce haa choaen to have inserted after his name on the primary ballot anil in his formal der- Nrntion he opposes any compromise until tha war is finally won from tha Central Powers. Senator Pierce ia one of the best- known Iirmocrats in the stale and has been a prominent figure In Oregon Hilitics for a quarter of a century. He has served for several yeara In the state senate and has made a splendid record, Fifty-six yeara of age and a businessman of no small ability, his friends assert that he would make a splendid governor. Senator t ierce Issued the following statement in announcing hia candi dacy: After due delliieration I have de rided to become a candidate for tha democratic nomination for governor at tha primary election to b held Mnv 17th, 1V1K. During my 35 yeara of residrnce in Oregon 1 have taken an active In terest in public affaire. At present I am a State Senator representing Union and Wallowa counties, and am now and have brrn Preaident of the Stale Taxpayers' League since ila or ganization. My position upon most public ques tions is well known and understood If nominated and elected governor, I pledge my earnest and unqualified support to President Wood row Wil son and to the great effort he ia leading to win the war. In thia dark hour of our national life, there ia noth ing else that counts. We must win the war, or tha principle that all Governments "derive their just pow ers from the consent of the governed" after 140 years of active existence, must perish. 1 pledge myself to labor unceasing ly to help alleviate tha suffering so far aa poaaible and administer to the comforts of our country s defenders. I believe Oregon should he organls ed from top to bottom for the"wlnn;'ri- of this war.- No persona time ta his own. r.verv man and woman ougn to labor In soma occupation that will help win the wnr. we should b so organised that farms, shipyards and factnriea manufacturing war material should not feel the shortage of Inlwr. We must work together aa a united people, with one purpose and one aim - oa- perish. Wagea should be com mensurate with the increased coat of li'-'ng. With these beliefs firmly fixed, if 1 were governor. I would ask all state institutions to limit their money de mands to the very lowest point pos- tble. so that this states financial strength may be conserved to be used Mr our defense and to alleviate the sufferings of our people that must fui'ow this terrible war. "I am in favor of a vigorous oocl ronils program when the dark clouds shall lift and our boys by the thou sands come home needing employ ment. Then will lie the time to com-r-enee rive road work tha should cover thii state with a network of good roads, with the main linca hard surfaced. I believe that numbers of the State Highway ('ommissiuji should be given a reasonable salary. I am firmly con vinced that no more highway mad bonds should be sold, unlets it be to build a military road until tha present ci if in is past. "I believe the present Compensation ct of the State should by onstitu tional amendment lie mads obligatory in nil painful ordinations. 1 believe In prison reform so that the unfortunate ones we f'nd m our penal institutions may rjturn to tne walks of life better and nol worse by ei.nsnn of their incarceration. I have been a Inboring man moat of my life and deeply svmpath'r.0 with those who honestly toil, firmly believ ing that opportunity ahould 1m given all to earn an honest living in some useful oeeunation. "I ahall, if elected governor, at all times try to bring about through leg islntion and otherwise a more equit able distribution of the fruits of la bor, a better understanding nnd a more healthful and friendly feeling between labor and capital to the an l that each mav ren lie that he naa place in society, and that In friendly coone ration and union there is strength for the nntion and prosper- ity and happlneea lor an. Mv opposition to the American sa loon in this state commenced with my arrival here 35 years ago. I rejoice that the saloon in Oregon is gone for good. I lirlicve In the strict enforce ment of the law. I favor national prohibition. 1 have always favored woman suf frage and am in favor of extending the franchise through the Nntion. "I believe in the people's rule In tha irreatrst nossihle participation bv the people direct In all the affairs of pxivernment compatible with the prac tical and efficient administration of affnirs.

A new type of cigarette lighter is want ed immediately by our boys in the trenches. According to reports receiv ed here from U. S. marines abroad. matches are all right If dry. but are a dead give-away, especially at night. tiaaoline lighters are used almost en tirely, but gas it's at a premium over there. Ambulance and lorry drivers, liter ally, are obliged to fight to keep the gaa in their tanks. Many a driver has started his day's work to find hia tank empty or. while driving, has stopped suddenly from a punctured or drained-off tank. The boys promise a big reward for the man who gets a gasless lighter, or something similar, over to them, tho only condition being that they get it quickly.

KNIGHTS TEMPLER SERVICES SUNDAY EVENING IMPRESSIVE Large Crowd Attends Easter Service at Presbyterian; Cantata at Christian Easter Sunday waa well observed in Albany yesterday. It waa an ideal day and people flocked into every church. The particular crisis of this country and her allies at thia time served as a greater incentive to wor ship on this occasion than ever, and many people who had not attended church for months were out to do rev erence. One of the most impressive serv ices of tha day was held at Vespers at the First Presbyterian church at 6 o'clock, the annual Faster services of the Knights Templar of Temple Commandery No. 3. At that hour the members of the lodge, in full regalia with their large, white-plumed hats over their right shoulders, preceded by Standard bearer A. B. Weather ford, marched into the church while Miss Alice Clement played and the choir sang, "Onward Christian Sol diers." Preceding the sermon were the ves per hymn, the Doxology, responsive reading, choir selections, and the in tercrssory prayer "For strengthening of faith; for our nation; for enlisted men; fur speedy victory for the cause of righteousness." Especially good was the choir un der tha direction of J. C. Irvine and their two numbers, "Jubilate Deo" and "Awake Thou That Sleepest," were received with approval. Miss Clem' ent, at the organ, also received praise for her beautiful selections. In hia sermon on "The Twentieth Century Doctrine of Immortality" Dr. Orlando Bovd Pershing brought out the theory that life eternal exists now. that deatn is mot tne opening oi ine portals of the eternal life. He spoke about tha war, using the striking thought that whoever opposed the government or who does nol Believe r ... u. ...... - . - in the nghteoua cause of AmericVs being io the war, ia not only no pat not but he is not a good Christian. Christian Church At the Christian church a venr pretty cantata, "Hail the Victor King," waa given by a large chorus of children. The parts were all ren dered In a very pleasing manner, re flecting much credit on Miss Louise Niramo, their instructor. The church was beautifully decorated with a pro fusion of wild easter lilies, ferns and Chinese lilies. Mr. Morgan followed with a brief Eastaraarmon taken from 1 Cor. 15th chanter. Me elated mat w oeat ap- p reciate our blessings oy tne process of elimination. What would be our , consternation and despair had the sun failed to rise this morning. Paul pro ceeds in like manner to impress upon us the importance of the resurrection of Christ. He mentions seven things that would have resulted had he not risen: our preaching vain, our faith vain, hope onlv in this life, false wit ness against God, dead in Christ per ished, yet in our sins, of all men most miserable. But he turns on the light of hope and transforms the dark pic ture into one of danling beauty, "But now is Christ risen." therefore our preaching and faith are not vain, our hope is in a future life as well as this, our message as God's truth, the dead in Christ are blessed forever, we are freed from sin, and of all men most blessed.
