Miss Fern Hohhs for governor.
Tlio-e who linve heeu wutcliiin: tiie
course of politics nt the Mnto Juu-o
for the pnt year are prcslictiti that
Miss Hohhs, the private Heoretnn of
Governor Vet, is not nn unlikely
candidate. There is nothni; in the
constitution of the state of Oregon
to prevent n woman from hcinj:
elected governor if she can get the
votes Miiee Oregon has 'ranted the
ri-zlit of Hiiffrnge to women.
Miss Hohhs lias been much in the
public ee, in n political manner, for
the past year, and there are thoe
who believe thnt there is method back
of Governor WeM's notion in givint
his private secretary so much pub
licity. It was Mis- Hohhs who was -out hv
Governor VM to Washington I).
C, to represent tho executive in land
matters relntinj to Oregon. It was
Mi-s Hohhs whom the governor sent
to Woodbiir-i to inve-tignte the ho
loon bu-inoss. And now Governor
West is sendimr Minn Hohhs to Cop
perfield, the littio wide-open mining
town U eastern Oregon, to clamp
down the lid. Local officers could
lnvn been instructed to look lifter
Woodburn and Copperfield, and there
re Mienfts available, but the gover
nor elected to send his private secre
tary, n course of proceeding which
makes political capital for Misn
Hohhs.
All those are considered cogent
reasons for the rumor which is now
... . T 1 11.... I ... '.;,
rnpniiy gaining ground urni u.ii
st wants to see his pnvnto pecrt
nrv succeed him in the executive of
