Oregon Governorship ObeuuN'S governorship candidates for tha November 8 election are Earl Snell, the present lecreUry of state, and State Senator Lew Wallace of Multnomah, county. Mr. Snell is the republican candidate, and won the nomination over Governor Charles A. Sprague. Mr. Wallace, the democrat, won the nomination over Howard Latourette, democratic national committeeman. Mr. Snell came into attention in Oregon public affairs when he went to the legislature from Gilliam county, and his lesral residence is still at Arlington, where he has an automobile business. His leadership and ability soon won him prominence, and he became speaker of the house of representatives. His record in the secretary of state's office has been outstanding, and he probably could have continued indefinitely there if he had wished and the state constitution had not precluded more than two successive terms. Mr. Wallace has served on the state game commis sion and as state senator from Multnomah county. He has been particularly active in sportsmen's and conser vation circles. He has an insurance business in Portland. We know both men, like both of them, and respect both for integrity and general ability. Mr. Snell has the clear edge in administrative exper ience. In the primary election, this newspaper supported Governor Charles A. Sprague for re-nomination. We said at the time that the republican party had-two excep tionally able men as governorship candidates, and that either would be acceptable if nominated. Mr. Snell won the nomination, and he will get our vote for governor. He will make a fine governor. He is intelligent, kindly, widely experienced and will do a arood job. On the basis of his excellent service as secretary of state, and his particular and general qualifications, Mr. snell deserves to be elected. Let's Tell It Ourselves (Oroville Mercury) THROUGH its policy of withholding unpalatable news from the American public- our war department has given the Japanese a propaganda advantage and has shaken further the confidence of the American people m our news sources. This never should have been al lowed to occur. We hope that Secretary Stimaon and .Secretary Knox have learned a lesson. The war department, which controls the statements ; of all its soldiers, caused General Doolittle to say that when his corps bombed Japan "no planes were left in Japan. Some were damaged but none to an extent that precluded its proceeding to its destination." In any lan guage, that meant that all the fliers were safe. We know now, however, that at least four of them had disappeared. Aur ouniBun. now aamiis mey are in Japanese hands. This is an unpardonable error. It tends to shake the confidence of the American neoDle in their own trovem. ment and it gives the axis most excellent propaganda material ior use tnrougnout the world. And it cannot be said that the truth was withheld for military reasons. We have been demanding a policy of. frankness in oaa news equal at least to that practiced by the British, who have been in this war longer than we have. We feel free to state that the withholding of bad news makes the winning of this war more difficult, and, translated, that means the loss of more lives. Let's have the truth from now on from Washington. Secretaries Don't Want To Marry Bosses - They Claim By AMY PORTER NEW YORK, Oct. 26 OP) ?. wouia some of America s promt nent men like to know what their secretaries think of them? A group of secretaries gave Dosses ana jobs a going-over at a meeting of their club, the Sera phic Secretaries of America, the oiner day ana concluded among other things that, no thanks, they would not care to marry me doss. "We know him too well," one girl explained. "We've fronted for him too often. Besides he usually has a wife, and if a sec retary is smart, the boss' wife is one of her best friends." Club members include Grace Graham, secretary to Wendell Willkie; Mary Davis, secretary to Lowell Thomas, and Aileen McCay, who protects her boss, Col. John R. Kilpatrick, presi dent of Madison Square Gar den, from all the people who would like to use the garden for a good cause free, please. Also present were secretaries to Will Hays, Bruce Barton, William L. Chenery, Roy Howard, Herbert Hoover, Al Smith and others. As a group, here Is how then girls feel about things: They like their jobs, have kept them from 3 to 20 years. They find that the more Im- portant the man, the easier he I to work for. They help the boss to promi nence by taking care of the cour tesles he hasn't time for. Many a boss has been thanked, to his be wilderment, for some favor the secretary did. They try to save the boss from spendthrift tendencies. One girl said that when her boss was ex upecting a big dividend, she al. ways typed out a reminder of coming expenses and placed It on nis desk. They do think they are mnnc. what underpaid, with salaries ranging from $50 to $7S. News B jRUiUXUtl WASHINGTON, Oct 88 Most painful vote of the year for senator cam on the Lee pro posal to dry up army camp areas, although the ylpes wera confined to the cloakroom. It mad the author, Senator Lee, of Oklahoma, the most pop ular man in congress.. With the election In w h I e h they must face the voters only next week, here was Senator Lee (Whose own election situation at home was reported more favor able than theirs) requiring them to vote en a proposition which the dry voters wanted and their administration did not want As uncomfortable as any was the Administration Leader Al ben Berkley, of Kentucky. Ha was an old-time dry, and In 1917 proposed the house bill which brought the first prohibition, a out prohibiting the use of food stuffs for the manufacture of liquor in wartime. War Secretary Stimson'i oddo- sition to the amendment, and perhaps some other pressure on Barwey that was not so obvious. made htm take another stand this time. He could not do other wise, as he was the leader. It was he who figured out the side-tracking device, by which the whole matter was thrust back Into the senate military af fairs committee. SIDE GLANCES LOST BOMBER What is known as "tha liberal element" Is now going after the war department new bureau for not having told us and. Inei dentally, also the Japs that one of the Doolittle bombers was lost in the Tokyo raid last April. This group has long cast' a longing eye at the war, as well as the navy, news sections, as the only two remaining outside Elmer Da- vis OWI fold. Other matter being brought up against the war news depart ment are that it publicly indlr cited Ford's bomber production was under way long" before the assembly line was actually turn tag out any appreciable number of planes, and that it got In volved in a financial mesa in a prize fight Tha fact is the deDartment publicity was technically accur ate, but detective in what It failed to tell about the bomber lost and the Ford production. If there are two subjects which can be considered valid military secrets, it is the subjects of loss es and plane production. If the American public was Ill-informed, so was Hitler, and the results of that action will do the public more good than, if the an- nouneements were candidly maae. As for the Louis-Conn tight. It was not a military secret anrl does not mattar. The only reason the subject re being mentioned is to put civilian authority over war anrl navy. No one contends the OWI would have handled the matter any differently. This- government has ilwiv. stood against civilian or political administrative control of either me army or navy. The idea was to make them independent, keep them out of politic While the commander-in-chief In the White House h alwia been their constitutional head, the reduction of their press sys tem io subservience, under civil Ian government administration would be a revolutionary en- croBcnment. - aa T arrrcc mc"T. . arc u a. rar. oar. so -21 I S! ! !t, hh; WPB Orders Canned whom I have discussed this pro- FlSn Release vision.

Thus the notably efficient for mula for censorship and news wnicn Mr. Davis has worked out. is proving both good and bad. It has ended confusion in official statements, but it has tended to promote uniform news, to de stroy independent initiative In reporting, and, therefore, on the whole to permit less news. .SClillllj::!!;!, Klamath's ! l!ll l l l!'l l!i! ll lll !:!l,,l!'Pl !I IH ! !

Instances of outstanding ef fort continued to come to light. The latest was that of the 39 students In the Sprlngdale school, near Troutdale, who have already collected and weighed 41,000 pounds and who estimate tnat they have another 9000 pounds In their pile. This is an average of 1303 pounds per student. Dogs are most common wtf pet owners In the United States. Canaries rank second. nH . third.

FEARS "JOKER" SALEM, Ore., (To The Editor) I hope you will pardon my pre sumption in thus, at this eleventh nour, injecting a new Issue Into the argument against the pro posed constitutional amendment freezing gasoline taxes and mo tor vehicle registration fees for nighway purposes. Not that I m opposed to tha plan to pre vent diversion or tnesa revenues. On the contrary I am in entire sympathy with the Idea, although I agree with Governor Sprague inai mere is no necessity for cluttering up the state eonstitu. tion with such an amendment since there has never been any serious threat of diversion of xnese highway funds. But this Innocent aDDearlns amendment goes much furtljer than would appear on the sur- lace. in fact it contains what I regard as a very vicious "loker." The fact that a number of state omclals with whom I have dis cussed this "Joker" did not know of its presence In the proposed amendment leads me to believe that the voters generally are Ig norant of Its existence. Hence this letter, the only purpose of which is to call this "Joker" to your attention, and through you. If you agree with me, to the at tention of the voters of the before it is too late to avert a serious mistake. The "Joker" to which I refer would preclude the possibility of any future levy against motor vehicles for general government al purposes. This is not the un supported opinion of a mere lay man.
