L. Patterson Reports
Growing Sentiment
I. L. Patterson. CoolldKO cam-

today was discussing the political
tituailon wilh prominenl republicans.
"The outlook for Cuullilgc U good
nil over the state." said Patiersnn.
"Ivveryw here 1 go I find the Benti
nient for ihe president very strong,
liusliiess men have confidence In
him."
Asked the offocl the oil scandal
would have on tho election. Patter
son said bo believed It would make
President Coolldgefe position oven
stronger.
"Tho firm. Impartial way In which
the proaidcnl took hold of the situa
tion," he pointed out, "gavo the pub
lic conddenco In him, and rather
than weakening the administration
tbo Investigation line served only to
mnke it stronger. An attempt was
made to turn the situation Into a
party affair, but that ended when
prominent democrats wcro drawn
Into the Investigation.
Patterson is seeing Klamath Falls
tor the first timo In 30 years. He
marveled ut tho changes since those
onrly days,
"About nil tho town hero thou,"
ho said, "was near Link river. I re
call a hotel und a store conducted
by Charley Moorp. Judge Baldwin
had n hardware store. One thing
that Impressed me iwas tho quality
of Iho goods carried in the stores.
Lending brands were available the
very best nf everything. This seemed
reinnrkiibki when it required a day
and a half lo freight goods from
Ashland." .
