Folger, Prop. After more than three years of politics in the governor’s office / •re is a particular appeal in th1 pry: iso of I. L. Patterson that if elected he “will devote all time to state busi- ness; not to politics.” The state of Oregon is a rather big business in- stitution and the governor is the ex- ecutive. It is possible an executive might find time sprinkled between state-wide speaking appointments and an endless chain of political calls to consider . important appointments, study needs of the state requiring legislative recommendation and keep an eye on general state business, but appointments and othe- state busi ness of the past three ymns do not suggest that it has and. With out going too the lugli > p y ,. r.to details nee thm the there is abundant < people will be g-ad ; ee a cnange and see the executive office- conduc- ted on a business and not a politicr.l basis. There is also much evidence to prove that this can best be insured by nominating Mr. Patterson. An executive who has spent more time on politics than on state business is a candidate for reelection. Unques tionably the time spent on politics will mean many votes. If he is not to continue to spend time on politics instead of state business for another term a strong man must oppose him and that man is Pattcson. l<’e have no quarrel with the other candidates for the gubernatorial nomination, al though their platform, and promists are a trifle vague, but of the three i Mr. Patterson is the outstanding man. Should he receive the nomina tion we believe the people will easily real worth and distinguish betv 1 that his elcc- ability and a. tould either of tion will 1-. a his competitors receive the nomina tion the outcome is not so clear.

OREGON Political Announcements TO THE VOTERS OF COLUMBIA COUNTY I Mrs. Alma Sitts was elected sec retary and Mrs. W. L. Hall corres ponding secretary. There were several good suggestions and the union meets for the silver tea next Tuesday, May 24th at the home of Mrs. G. C. Olsen. Every member is requested to be present. “KING OF BOOTLEGGERS” DIES PENNILESS The story of Amoto Bianchi, pos sessor of a small fortune wrested from the gold mines of Amador county, California, his boast that he would “beat the prohibition law” and what became of it, is vividly told in the San Franci: co Chronicle. In 1920 the Italian came to San Fracisco with his gold and, true to his word that he meant to come to grips with the Volstead law, he in vested it in eleven socalled soft drink parlors. He even financed his friends in the establishment of al- didional places. For a time he pros pered. His friends would say, “See there goes Bianchi, the ‘Little King of the Bootleggers.’ A smart ■nan natural —too smart for the law- born money maker.” Then the law struck suddenly and persistently, the places were raided, and Bidnchi appeared in court so many times that even he lost count. When all his drinking places were closed by abatement proceedings, Bianchi was a penniless man. Illness came and was taken to the San Francisco hos pital. He was sixty years old, and loss of fortune and friends hastened his death. ----------- ♦------------ A Greenland conjurer against evil spirits once advised Kaj Birket Smith, a Danish explorer, to sew his boots to the back of his mother’s dress to be worn there the rest of her life.
