Smith of Portland, Governor West definitely asserted that the would not stand as a candidate for re-election. The letter was plain and susceptible of but one meaning. Dr. Smith ac cepted the declaration of Governor West, in good faith and immediately announced his candidacy for the Dem ocratic nomination. Wcgt has thuti eliminated himself as an active or receptive candidate. He lias burned the bridges behind him and placed himself in a position where it would be impossible to ac cept Hie. nomination even though it were tendered him by a united party. Many names are mentioned in con nection with the governorship on both t'hc Republican and Democratic tick ets but from present indications the Democrats will place in nomination a stronger man than their Republican opponents. , The list of Democratic aspirants includes some of the best known men in the strte. Several have been mentioned- who would prove exceptionally strong candidates, and would make a creditable record in the event of election. The Democrat is aa yet not ready to announce its choice but we hope and believe that the successful candi date will be a man whose integrity, ability and Democracy arc beyond question. Commenting upon the proposed candidacy of Judge A. S. Ilcuuctt for the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor The Dalles Chronicle pays the Wasco county lawyer the following tribute: "One of the most able and brainiest 1cnal authorities in the west, Judge A. S. Ik'ituett stands for all that is good and progressive in government. He ts absolutely 'honest and fe;rless, and has ever been unsullied in Ins private and public life. Mr. Henuett is the strongest man the Democrats of Oregon could nominate for gover nor. He would reflect great credit to the state if he should be endorsed and elected, for Judge Unmet, is t fjreat big clean, honest and efficient man " NOMINATE GOOD MEN. Oregon Democrats have formed the bad 'habit of permitting the campaign for the governorship to become the all absorbing i.-.Mie of both the pri mary and general elections. There are other important offices to be filled and other important battles to be be fought. It is just as essential to have an able lawyer nominated for the office of attorney general and a lilmrough business man nominated for the office of state treasurer as it is to place in nomination a strong man for the gov ernorship. The party is judged no: alone by the head of the ticket, but by the standing of the men who have been nominated for the various state offices at the Democratic primaries. The best mm in t he party should be called upon to accept these of fices. If they win they will prove a credit to the party. !f they lose, it is no disgrace to themselves or to the political organization which they represent. It reuuiics almost as much effort lo keep a thoroughly good man on a big job as it does for a poor man p lo get one. This is illustrated in the case of Colonel (Ioeth;ls who made such it remarkable success of conduc ting affairs on the Canal Zone that tie is being strongly urged by the president of the United State to re main in (he federal service and at the same time asked by the mayor of New York to accept the position of fotice commissioner.
