THE CAMPAIGN SNOWS - RAPID PICK UP ALL CANDIDATES BEGIN TO SPURT AS END NEARS Hot Tight» on Jor Governor, Senate and Lewer Office»; Candi dates Out After Vote» ea that elect a candidate. In the democratic party the only office which is attracting Interest in this part of the state is that of gover nor where the two leading candidates are-Harvey Starkweather of Oregon City and Walter Pierce of La Grande The Indications are that Pierce will be successful. He is much better known and is a veteran campaigner. Election May 19 The election will be Friday of next week, May 19- The situation may change between now and then and it may be different now than what we have pictured. Just now the poli ticians are doing the talking and m aking claims and the voters who will settle it are yet to be heard from. Two weeks ago it looked like a dead campaign and the voter was be ginning io loll back in his seat and mutter "bum show" as if he wasn t getting his money’s worth out of the show. This week It has all changed. Things are coming to life. The can didates are all out on the road and happy is the voter who can get to and from his place of business without being loaded down with political cards. Nearly all the candidates are on the road, determined to round up enough of the elusive votes to win. Three for Governor Beginning at the top the situation is as follows: For the lepublican nomination for governor there are six candidates, of whom three have a serious chance of winning. These are Olcott, Patterson and Hall. Ol cott is strong because he holds the office, is personally popular and has probably done as well and made as few mistakes as any man could un der the trying conditions of the past four years, Patterson is strong be- cause ho is a dirt farmer, is well known, particularly In the Willamet te valley and because he has the most constructive program of tax reduc tion of any of the candidates. Hall is a capable business man of Marsh field and has the backing of the fed erated patriotic societies and It is understood the Klu Klux Kian. Whether the latter will be an asset or a liability Is a question, and it is doubtful if Hall can run better than third on the list, though he Is not apt to stand lower. FITHIAN FOR National Gommitteman Sinnott Probable Winner For congress there seems to be little doubt that Sinnott will be re nominated over ’the, opposition! of James Gwinn of Pendleton though he latter Is making an aggresive campaign and will poll more votes than lots of people expect. What usually furnishes little In the way of thrills is the party nation- an committeeman job. Both parties have contests this year, but the one which is attracting the attention is he race between Williams and Fith ian in he republican party. Both men have plenty of money and the fight is getting hotter all the time, with little courtesy wasted on the opposition by either side. Williams has held the job 14 years and has a powerful organization behind him. while Fithian will have the support o f those who are tired of the politi cal old timers and want a new deal- The contest promises to be close with Williams, chances probably best. For the Umatilla county seat in the sate senate Roy Ritner will be re elected without opposition. For the joint seat Colon R. Eberhard is hav ing a tough time with Joe Hinkle of Hermiston and Judge R. J. Kitchen of La Grande In the field against him. ' ‘ f H E EM IST O N ‘ ¿¿rfs^Bride.

Such pride reminds me of a story. •“ Father, what Is a swell?’ a little I boy once asked. “ ‘A swell, son,’ the father an- J swered, ‘is a lazy loafer whose sole claim to Importance lies in the fnet that he once hud an ancestor who devoted his life to hard and honest work.’ ” REPUBLICANS!
