Tilers are many straws showing that
the political breezes are watting things
in the direction of Mr. George A. Steel’s
candidacy for the Republican nomina­
tion for state treasurer.
One of the favorable indications (and
one which is especially gratifying to Mr.
Steel) is the fact that the men who were
employed, by him when he was superin­
tendent of the East Side Railway com.
pany have rallied as one man to his sup
port. In fact they are among his most
enthusiastic supporters and leave uo oc­
casion unimproved to exploit the father­
liness of “Uncle George” (as they call
him) towards those who worked under
his supervision ; and this lively interest
upon tbe people to whom they address
themselves. Another favorable indica
tion is the fact that every business man
with whom Mr. Steel has had business
relations during his 40 years, residence
in Multnomah and Clackamas counties
now speakes a good word for him, and
I all are helping forward his candidacy.
Still another significant fact is that
j even those who are pledged to and are
supporting other gentlemen for the posi-
' tion all agree that Mr. Steel is eminently
> qualified for the place and is deserving
j of the best thing that could be given him
