HOOfTSPRIVACY
Summer time brings out sand
wiches, iced tea and bees. In Salem
the latter are often political bees. A
week such as the last, which brought
the great and near great of the state
for highway matters, gave ample op
portunity :or the bees to buzz.
Most of the talk centers about the
iirai congressional district In Cong
ress and Mr. Hawley's chances of re
taining his position there. Hawlev
has been In the limelight so long he
nas accumulated a number of poli
tical enemies for a variety of reasons,
one of which Is the simple fact that
he has held his Job through thick
and thin against all comers.
For some months antl-Hawley re
publicans have Centered their hopes
on esenaror wuiurcl Marks of Albany
as tne man to beat Hawley. But
Marks does not choose to run. He
was In Salem as governor for a day
during the week and while he would
make no definite statement, Marks
indicated very plainly that as fur as
going to congress was concerned he
preferred to be In Albany.
MnrkH Not Joyous Over Prospect
Marks Is a .careful thinker. As a
lawyer and will-drawer he realizes
the uncertainties of life and as a suc
cessful office-holder he realizes the
uncertainties of election, especially
when it Is necessary every two years.
Furthermore Marks Is not overjoyed
at the prospect, even if attainable, of
sitting year after year in Washington
along with 434 other congressmen:
glorified office boys" as he terms
them.
So Marks can be counted out as an
opponent to Hawley. Marks would
like the governorship, provided he
didn't have to go out of his way to
obtain it, but even that office, if It
meant the loss of his legal business
would not be a goal for the Albany
lawyer, senate president and at times,
governor.
The aspirations or ex-uovernor
Norblad and Corporation Commis
sioner Mott are not to be settled so
easily. These are the eternal-hope
candidates for congress. Both want
to sit among the 435 so badly they
can hear the speaker's gavel pound
ing.
Norblad States He's Not Certain
Norblad gave out a press statement
this week that his race would depend
on whether or not he could see his
son Walter well established in the
law practice at Astoria. If he does,
Norblad will run. Otherwise he
would be reluctant to leave his busi
ness and try the perilous route to
Washington. His close friends, such
as Hal D. Patton of Salem, say Nor
blad will not run because of business
reasons which make It wise for him
to keep at his desk, but Norblad
wants to go to congress, and if the
field is clear against Hawley, he mr.y
try his strength.
Mr. Mott's plans are more defin
ite He has not announced himself
as a candidate but It's as sure he will
run as It Is that Mr. Marks will not.
Mott has had his eye on that Repub
lican seat W congress for years and
he'll not be deterred In his cam
paign. Mott has beer . building Ms
point toward the location of the
home In Roseburg. This will be a sig
nal but a necessary victory for Mr.
Hawley. He can rightfully claim
much credit for the location of the
home in this state together with suf
ficient Influence to place the home in
the city where he first stated
It should go.
With the home question settled,
Hawley has a prize package to display
about the state next spring: without
It, his political position would be as
embarasslng as a bridegroom at a
wedding where the bride didn't ap
pear. Talk (iovernor as Senate Aspirant
Around the statehouse the ques
tions most often appearing are: Will
Meier run for senator? Who will
oppose Holman next spring? will
the governor and his bullfrog party
put a candidate In the field to spill
Hoss?
A circuitous answer ts needed for
the first inquiry. The facts come
fftom that "source close to the gover
nor" which for newsmen la about as
authentic as t.'ie tales told at a
ladles' aid meeting. Nevertheless,
this "source" and it has the air of
authority, says that three months
ago Mr. Meier had the bug to be
United States senator. For some rea
son Just now the idea la less attrac
tive and if he were to decide now,
the governor would stick by his knit
ting under the capltol dome.
Should Meier run for United States
senator against Mr. Stelwer he would
need to call off Bert Haney of Port
land w.ho is going to seek public
favor if Meier does not run. If he
does not run the interesting question
arises: will he support Haney? Haney,
a democrat, a law partner of the
late George W. Joseph and Is a
close friend of the governor. If Meier
supports him, the bull-frog party he
heads may swing to the democrats;
if he supports Stelwer he will need
to dessert his boon friend. Haney
is a sure candidate if Meier does not
enter the lists for . the Portland
lawyer, defeated six years ago by
Stelwer, feels sure 1932 is to be his
year of victory. He has several clubs
behind his back which he plans to
swing; "Hoover ' prosperity," utility
"steals" as he will Indicate In the
Portland telephone case, together
with the personal ability of Mr.
Haney which he will not be ashamed
to point out to the voters.
Holman Candidate to Succeed Self
Mr. Holman is to be a candidate
for state treasurer. -There has never
been any doubt of that In anyone's
mind from the day Mr. Holman ar
rived In Salem. He loves public of
fice. He likes its contacts, Its pub
licity, Its chances to be boss. Holman
has been a consistent Meier man; he
told the public a few days ago that
he was as much responsible for
Meier's election as Meier was for Hoi.

1 932 ARMS CUT
E
MAN MADE ERUPTION OPENS NEW NATIONAL PARK
ft
GENEVA, Aug. 8. (UP) England
and the dominions have brought a
fresh moral pressure to bear upon
other Leaguers for an actual reduc
tion of armaments at the 1932 d la-
armament conference.
In notes addressed to the secre
tariat both by the mother country
and the various dominions who are
independent members of the League,
notice has been given that they
cannot accept the necessary amend
ments to the covenant to bring it
Into harmony with the Kellogg Pact
until the bringing Into force of a
general treaty for the reduction and
limitation of armaments.
The question of harmonizing the
two documents Is one of vital Im
portance to the smaller members of
the League, who count on the In
corporation Into the covenant of
the Kellogg Pact abolishing war as
constituting for them one of the
greatest guarantees of security. -
Great imuruity.
The question of harmonlising the
covenant and Kellogg Pact was on
the agenda of last year's assembly
and after great difficulty necessary
amendments to the covenant were
found which it was believed would
be acceptable to the members of the
League as a whole.
The question was accordingly
placed again on the agenda of this
year's assembly, at which time it
was confidently hoped the neces
sary changes In the covenant could
be made.
The notification lust given, how
ever, by England and the dominions
makes it evident that the necessary
unanimity for the covenant amend
ments cannot be secured unless tne
rest of the nations agree to an
actual reduction In armaments.
In the meantime. France also nas
taken an almost Identical attitude.
French Argument.
In a note she points out that
while favoring fully the harmonis
ing of the covenant with the Keug
Pact. It Is quite apparent that this
never can be done until a successful
Htcfirmnmpnt conference has been
held.
However, as she always has in
sisted that if war Is to be abolished
as a means of settling international
dlsoutea some other means must be
aiihRMt.iit.ori. she urges mat
League In the meantime concentrate
all It efforts on securing tne moov
universal ratification possible of the
League's general act of arbitration.
The latter, which Is the League's
last word towards obligatory arbitra
tion, has been ratified to date by
fifteen nations.
