Aspirants for Republican and Demo

political horizon seeking hopeful
Signs. Little outward activity la

however, there'! plenty.
Through ranke of both partlea
runa the conviction Democrats have
an excellent chance to elect an Ore'
gon governor In 1834. That belief
baa Inspired Bourbona with confi
dence rid Impelled many Republican
leaders to look around for a new and
colorful figure capable of atrlklng
the "progressive note" without alien-1

Old-Tlmeri to Fore.
Several old-tlmera may Una up at
the Republican prlmarlea. While
Governor Meier haan't announced be
will or will not be a candidate for
reelection, hie friends say It's even
money he will throw his hat In the
ring. His advisors believe the ex
pected big field of Republican candi
dates would put him over in the
primaries.
The names of Joe E. Dunne and
conservative Wlllard Marks of Albany
peraiatently crop up In the llat of
dark horses." Utility commissioner
Charles M. Thomas denies he la a
candidate, but la reported to be ready
to run If Governor Meier atepa out.
Thomas haa conferred repeatedly late
ly with Henry Hansen, the governor's
political advisor, and doesn't mils

Treaaurer Rufua C. Holman prob
ably Is wsltlng for more encourage

numerous speaking engagements. Hal

health and finances permitted. His
Job as secretary of atate doean't run
out until 1030.
Ray pill's aucceasful .Tight against
the governor's aalea tax, leada many
to believe he will be a candidate.
'When the Orange leader resigned aev-
eral weeks ago from the governor'a
unemployment relief committee, It
appeared like he was clearing his
eklrte of Meier affiliations prior to
the election.
Ilaney Prominent.
On the Democratic aide, the name
of Bert Haney, Portland attorney,
continually cornea up. Haney, how
ever. Is a member of the law firm
which handles the department atore
business of Governor Meier. Jn a
depression year particularly, that
alone seems enough to keep Haney
cut of the race. "Dark horse" sug
gestions are Henry CanDueer, Con
gressman Martin and Mayor Joe Car
ton of Portland.
A feature of the coming race was
the apparent lack of gubernatorial
material turned out by the last legla-
lature. ' Only two members were men

Lonergan and Senator Aahby Dick

Reports that recurrent colds had
left Wllhelm enfeebled are not borne
out by ocular evidence of the ex

laborer as his mate.
