Wm. 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

by nominating Mr. Patterson.
An
executive who has spent more time
on politics than on state business is
a candidate for reelection. Unques

will mean many votes. If he is not to

“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.

reduce the burden of the taxpay

I wish to announce my candidacy
for the nomination to the office of
Representative on the Republican
ticket at the primaries in May, and
respectfully ask for your support.
If nominated and elected, I prom

for the good of the State at large.
Respectfully,
