o Gosslip in Control

Salem. If any doubt existed in
the minds of the public as to the
hold of W. L. Gosslin upon the young
Democratic clubs of Oregon it must
have been dissipated by the devel
opments of the past week. At the
annual convention of this state-wide
organization at North Bend, atur
day, Allan Greenwood, Gosslin's
candidate, was elected president by
a vote of 31 to 19, over A. Ray Mar
tin of Eugene. Martin was actively
supported by an out-and-out anti-
Gosslin group headed by Ellis W,
Barnes of Portland, Vernon Bull of
La Grande and U. S. Burt of Cor-
vallis. Reports that Howard Lat
ourette, democratic national com
mitteeman and prospective guber
natorial candidate, was also lending
moral support to the anti-Gosslin
group were denied by Latourette
who insisted that he was maintain
ing a hands-off policy in the contest
that for a time seriously threatened
the harmony of the young democrat
ic organization.
Another major political develop
ment of the week also came out of
the North Bend convention in the
statement by Willis Mahoney of
Klamath Falls that he would posi
tively be a candidate for some public
office at the next election. The only
point on which Mahoney refused to
enlighten the public was that as to
which office he will seek. Specula
tion on this point, however, can pret
ty safely be confined to two posts,
the governorship or the United States
senatorship with emphasis on the
latter.
The only other political activity of
the past week was the annual Jeffer
son Day banquet at Salem which at
tracted prominent Democrats from
all sections of western Oregon, as
moths are attracted by a flame.
Among those noted as fluttering
about the political spotlight were O.
Henry Oleen of St. Helens, said to
be sounding out sentiment with a
prospect of becoming a candidate
for governor on his own account;
Senator Byron G. Carney of Clack
amas county who, friends admit,
might be persuaded to become a can
didate for congress in the first dis
trict, and Representative C. F. Hyde
of Eugene, who is understood to
have ambitions in the same direction.
Governor Martin's only contribu
tion to the political gossip of the
week was his statement at the Jef
ferson Day banquet that he was go
ing to wait to see whether or not the
crowd was following him before de
ciding what he would do after his
present term expires.
Patrons of the West Coast Power
company were presented with a 14
percent rate reduction this week in
a new tariff filed with the public
utilities commission. The reduction,
which is said to mean an annual
saving of some $20,000 affects the
coast sections of Lincoln, Lane,
Douglas and Coos counties from To
ledo to Reedsport.
Two legislators drew places on the
newly created state commission
which will have charge of the Ore
gon exhibit at the San Francisco and
New York fairs. They are Senator
J. A. Best of Umatilla county and
Representative T. A. Livesley of
Marion county. Other members of
this commission just named by Gov
ernor Martin include Claude Mc
Culloch of Klamath Falls, state
chairman of the Democratic central
committee, and Thomas F. Gunn
and Charles T. Haas, both of Port
land. Governor Martin is in Washing
ton, D. C, doing a little lobbying in
behalf of Oregon's claim to Bonne
ville dam, the benefits from which
Los Angeles is trying to nullify thru
having it tied in with Boulder dam
for rate making purposes. The gov
ernor is appearing before the rivers
and harbors committee of the House
which is conducting hearings on
several measures dealing with the
administration of Bonneville. This
is the committee on which he served

Theodore Roosevelt is author of
the following: "If we read the Bible
aright, we read a book which teaches
us to go forth and do the work of the
Lord; to do the work of the Lord in
the world as we find it; to try to
make things better in this world,
even if only a little better, because
we have lived in it. I enter a most
earnest plea that in our hurried and
rather bustling life of today we do
not lose the hold our forefathers
had on the Bible. I wish to see Bible
study as much a matter of course in
the secular college as in the semin
ary. No educated man can afford to
be ignorant of the Bible, and no
uneducated man can afford to be
ignorant of the Bible."

More than 2,000,000 adults are en
rolled in educational classes being
conducted by the Works Progress
administration throughout the na
tion, according to L. R. Alderman,
national director of the adult educa
tion program who was in Oregon
this week checking up on the work
in this state. The program is giv
ing part time employment to more
that 40,000 teachers who would oth
erwise be jobless, Alderman said.
Alderman served as state superin
tendent of public instruction in Ore
gon from 1911 to 1913 and later
served as county superintendent of
schools for Multnomah county.
The practice of paroling inmates
of the state prison or the state train
ing school for boys on condition that
they leave the state is opposed by
State Treasurer Holman, who voiced
criticism of the practice at a board
of control meeting this week when
Superintendent Laughlin of the boys'
school reported that two boys had
been released to go to other states.
Warden J. W. Lewis of the state
prison declared that the practice
was universal that prisoners from
other states were being released
constantly to come to Oregon on the
plea that a job awaits them or some
relative or friend has offered to pro
vide a home.
