You cannot take photographs of

anything wrong about that as all

One thing I give them credit for Is
the respect shown for laws. Liquor

a fool of himself with liquor here, or
tn fact In any European country.
Progress Is marked here. I have
gone everywhere, and anywhere on
street cars, electric butsea. and trol

GUBERNATORIAL RACE
LOOKS TO FARM HELP
PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 16. (AP)
The Oregonlan said today that Peter
Zimmerman. Yamhill county farmer
and a leader of certain liberal ele
ments in Oregon politics, probably
will be a candidate next year for the
Republican nomination for governor
with Howard Latourette national
committeeman, seeking the Demo
cratic toga.
Zimmerman has been attracted to
the race by the belief that a candi
date boasting a farm background
might stand a good chance of elec
tion, the newspaper said, while La
tourette, at odds with Governor Mar
tin, will seek to take over the Demo
cratic helm.
Earl Snell, secretary of state, and
Rufus Holman. state treasurer, were
described as being satisfied to keep
their present posts but Snell will
have to fight for his, being up for
election next year, while Holman Is
in the middle of his term.
La tourette was said to be ready to
favor the candidacy of Willis Maho
ney. Klamath Falls, for the Demo
cratic nomination for U. S. senator,
with Mahoney expected to back La
tourettc against Martin If the gov
ernor decides to seek re-election.
It was Indicated that If Latourcttc
runs a deal wtll be made with Dr.
J. F. Hoesch, Bend, who is known
to be considering the race. The men
are political allies.
