NUNN BUSH RADIO PROGRAM MONDAY PROMISES TREAT "Pop" Gates Has "It' ; "The Oregon Voter." In its lsue this week, prints a . character sketch -of CV R. (Pop) Oates or this city, mentioned ns n candidate 1efurc the Republican nominating committee, scheduled to meet Fri day. July 5. , . t The article is as follows: "When it comes to .personality, ('. K. Gates of Medford radiates It like the rising sun on a poppy bed he Just naturally warms you Into opening up. He would fill the governor: chair to overflowing, with an .abundance of genial Physique. Light on his feet as a toe diineor, brimming with energy, quick In understand Inu, sympa thetic as a listener, cordial, per suasive No. he Is neither a bond salesman niir a Wall street mag nate. He made one fortune selling hathtubs and another selling Fords. His home town he served by be coming its mayor without salary but with success and re-elections for as long as he felt he could serve. His larger public service In recent years bus been as a mem ber of the state highway .commis sion, to the affairs of which he has given n considerable part of his time. No man ever looked more like a business governor ought to look, and he has plenty of inside to back up his imp res six front. ' -Pup Gates, as he is affection ately called by his intimates, Is an Oregoniun by choice. He was a business man of national repu tation in his line before he came here nearly twenty years ago, hav ing been president of the Knnmel ed Ware Manufacturers association of the United States, re-elected six times after bis first year's term and seeing his handsome portrait republished time and again in bathtub, washstand and kitchen sink trade papers. He also was vice-president of the Soil Pipe Manufacturers Association of the United Slates, with his picture published alongside of hollow iron cylinders. It was a breakdown In health that caused him to visit Medford, and he became so enam ored of the place that he sold out his manufacturing interests, locat ed thero in Mill and started air automobile agency at once, at a time when Fords were just rattling In as a new kind of a road nui sance. "Gates is n native of Indiana, where the per acre yield of poli ticians is the highest of any state. He was a Christmas present, but arrived one day early. December 24, 1871. and has been, prompt ever since. His parents removed to Winamac. Indiana, and he was raised there, got some high school education and earned his way through a Logansport business col lege. When sixteen, he actually got . himself hired to teach a rural school, thus proving what appear ances can accomplish In impress ing a country school 1'oard. But his inclination was for business, and he went to Chicago hunting, for clerical work. He found it In the statisticnl department of Chi cago Kconomlc Gas company,, ris ing during eight years to and ad ministrative position in its accpujit-i ing office. . In 1 807, Gates removed to In dianapolis to enter the employ Of the McKlwalne Richards company, wholesale plumbers' supplies, nnd three years Inter was sent by that company to Nohlesvillci Indiana, In manage their enamel ware man ufacturing plant. He became vice president and general manager o( the Union Sanitary Manufacturing company, nnd rose to tho promin ent position In the trade that we have indicated above. In his full dress suit at association banquets everyone who didn't happen t o know him asked who that hand some gent was. "Medford had just undergone its first big boom when Gates arrived, nnd even the advent of his num erous nnd healthy family did not save it from a heavy . decrease in population. They city had been paved enthusiastically but the as sessments didn't yield enough to meet tho Improvement bonds, end the city government was as broke ns If It had been located in Flor ida. There was a million dollars due ami nothing to pay It with except real estate und future pros pects. "'Pop' made himself part of Medford, and he was there to stay. The business men nnd taxpayers turned to hlin to take the Job of mayor. He did so on condition that at the same election when his name was submitted, a charter amendment would be carried abol ishing the salaries of mayor nnd councilmen. The measure carried almost unanimously nnd 'Pop" was elected. Ie served six years wlthbut salary or expense account, from 1U1U to 11)22. "Refinancing the city was the first task. Improvement bonds had been sold ns low as B0 In order to get paving In front of every lot before new lots were subdi vided. Pop's administration suc ceeded in refunding the city debt by selling a big new bond Issue at par, and was smart enough to stick the bond buyer with the $1, 576 cost of engraving and print ing the bonds, so the city got the entire face value of the issue without n nlckle discount. "With the city's finances straightened out. Pop got busy with the chamber of commerce. Re was the embodiment of the spirit that has made Medford fam ous, and he represented the com munity In negotiations for Indus tries and Investment. .Mwlfonl started to grow again,. and when he quit mayoring In 192 it was be ginning to be . city of nulwtantinl payrolls. The 1930 census finds It one of the larger cities of the state In population, and economic stntls tics reflect Us prosperity. Pup's Influence was in favor of commun ity sentiment friendly to industry and Medford Is justly proud ot Its fine pnyroll Institutions. When Pop came to Oregon, the good roads movement had hardly been conceived. He was one of Its pioneer organizer. Jackson coun ty was the find In Oregon tn pae highways it ithe;id of Mult- niimih In this ntt-r prise which has transformed the state. lie served as executive committeeman f in the : first campaign for state ! ; highway bonding, appeared before ' tho legislature to- promote good 1 roads and became a statewide fig- ure In that cause. It was logical , mm wneii ine mie uovernor rai i person was reorganizing the state highway commission In 3922 that he would choose Gates as one of j the three members. Gates brought I to bear a wide business experience along with his enthusiasm for highway development, nnd by his I services on the bonrd has demon j stinted caliber. j "So Impressed was Oregon by i the Gates personality that he had lived here hardly ten years before I j he was mentioned for governor, i j Naturally tolerant, he stepped into ' trouble by permitting himself to ! be boomed by Ku Kluxers in the heydey of their power In but gracefully stepped out again when he discov ered the fanataclsm of the movement. None who know him hold this episode against him. for he is the reverse typo from tho bigot. His prominence has been such ;: ho has been "among those mentioned" during every pre-primary gubernatorial pros pecting since. Issuing a statement that "I have decided not to be come a, candidate this year" has become a habit, with him. Usually he didn't issue it Until after ho got ft lot of mention, as h visibly luxuriates in the sensation bask ing in political sunshine. "Genial, Pop is a joiner. He Is a high up Mason, belonging jo all the orders; has served numer ous terms as Klks Club trustee: is a prominent K. of P. nnd Dokle.

Owns his own business premises nnd home, and consider able iither Medford real estate, and is a substantial Investor In real esia'to 'elsewhere in Oregon nd In securities. Busy all the time and finds lots of timo in which to visit, to laugh nnd to play. Drop In and sec him among his new Fords nnd you'll feel like a family reunion. "Oregon was a big gainer by Pop Gates' arrival in our stale. We wish we had more like him. lie is of gubernatorial stature both ways and is sound of wind, limb nnd judgment. Rings ti'ue no plugs."

Woman has been kicked out or Xho home, according to Mts Con nole, and finds It hind to succeed In business because, "Chlvniry has fnllon lo tho ash-can." "When yon see a woman work ing," soys l,awyer Commie, "mime mun has fullen down on t lie; job or luovlitlng tor her Kiipiiort." Schopenhauer said nil women were in leagus to compel every man to support some one woman all her life, and miirrlnge was part of that conspiricy. , That, he said, was why women never forgive the woman whose loose life breaks up the plan.
