GOVERNOR PIERCE AS A
POLITICIAN
In the game of politics between
tne state legislature and Govern
nor Pierce, the former so far
seems to have won the victory.
Whether the legislature will con
tinue in this strsde remains to be
seen at the end of the session.
But while on most issues the
governor has been beaten, such
as the appointments to the port
Portland commission,' vet the
people for the most part think
Mr. Pierce is more sincere and
and politically more honest than
his opponents.
It is for the general funda
mental sterling worth of Govern
or Pierce rather than for any one
great thing he has done that this
paper wishes him well in his cotv
test with the legislature-Ore
gon Liberal.
