REPUBLICANS GIRO

Party Rally Scheduled
For Courthouse
Here Tonight
By Malcolm Epley
What tbe current Oregon- re
publican rejuvenation program
(including a big rally here to
night) portends for the demo
crats In tbe tall election is tbe
subject of much political specu
lation here at this time.
While the democrats have made
gains in this normally republican
state since and just before tbe
advent of the "new deal," tbe
fall campaign is the first crucial
test of their Oregon strength
since the 1932 landslide., and not
everybody sees their prospects in
a rosy light.
Political Chief Interested
Whether General Charles H.
Martin, tbe democrats' guberna
torial standard bearer, will be
able to take Joe E. Dunne in the
governorship race and whether
Walter M. Pierce can stave oft
Jay Upton's vigorous onslaught
in the second congressional dis
trict are the two questions ot
particular interest here. Repub
licans are working themselves
Into an enthulastic attitude to
ward their prospects in both
races. .
There is a rumor afoot that
President Roosevelt and his ' po
litical advisers at Washington
are becoming keenly interested In
tbe Oregon gubernatorial situa
tion. It is said they feel the
vital necessity of Martin's car
rying the state, even to the ex
tent that it things look bad
enough President Roosevelt him
self will come here and make a
speech in behalf ot tbe doughty
general.
In Washington the other day,
General Martin said that he
would shortly have an announce

Dr. A. A. Soule, city health of

The Information will be re

Swift action Is deemed neces

County Agricultural Agent C. A.

now hatching. A specimen spi

brought to the agent Monday
