To Whom It May Concern:
The undersigned were mem­
bers of the Astoria City Coun­
cil during all the five years
that Howard K. Zimmerman
served as city attorney. We
have also had opportunity to
observe the work of other
city attorneys, one of us hav-
been on the Council for 14
years and the other (’> years.
Mr, Zimmerman came to
the office when a form of
government new to us was
being installed, when every
city official was uncertain as
to his powers and duties, when
enormous reconstruction tasks
faced the city after its dis­
astrous
fire of 1922, and
when many other problems
such
refunding of indebt­
edness, collection of delin­
quent assessments, etc. had
to be solved.
His handling of these prob­
lems showed him to be a
man of fine legal ability and
ot unquestionable
integrity.
He was careful, thorough and
clear in his analysis of every
question, accurate in his le­
gal knowledge, and capable of
getting through with a pro­
digious amount of work. He
personally passed upon every
proceeding connected with the
dozens of improvement pro­
jects undertaken, and his rec­
ord in this work is perfect;
not one of his proceedings
was ever successfully at­
tacked. His proceedings for
refunding bond issues were
praised, as being unusually
complete and correct, by ex­
perts of the bonding houses.
His prosecution of cases in
the
municipal
and
other
courts was vigorous and ef­
ficient.
We
unhesitatingly
pronounce him one of the
best city attorneys Astoria
has ever had; and we believe
that the qualities he dis­
played in that office will
make him an excellent circuit

Eminent Republican Banker Calls

HOOVER LACKS DIPLOMACY

Jeroms Davis Greene, Rockefeller
Associate, One of Many Prominent
Figures Who Repudiates Party's
Candidate.
Describing Governor Smith as prob­
ably the greatest living master of the
science of governmental reorganiza­
tion, Jerome Davis Greene, the bank­
er who Is associated with John D,
Rockefeller in the management of the
vast Rockefeller business and philan­
thropic interests, has declared in a
letter to the Editor of the New York
Times that he will support the Demo­
cratic candidate.
Mr. Greene, a Republican and Con-
gregationalist, is a director in many
great corporations and an officer and
member ot many scientific organiza­
tions. In his letter, which was not
solicited by the newspaper nor by any
political organization, he comments
that Hoover s supporters urge his
election on the ground of his adminis­
trative ability. That, he asserts, is
an obvious fallacy.
Pointing out that whatever success
Hoover achieved as a food adminis­
trator was due, not to courage or di­
plomacy, but to the almost autocratic
power with which he had been invest­
ed, Mr. Green continues:
"The candid and gallant stand which
Governor Smith has taken upon the
subject ot prohibition by Federal en­
actment as an instrument ot social
reform, and the outstanding impor­
tance of the Issue thus presented, has
somewhat obscured in the public mind
his legitimate claim to preference
over Mr. Hoover in respect to the one
qualification which is urged, with per­
haps more emphasis and greater sin­
cerity than any other, in support of
Mr. Hoover.

Livestock Exposition, the 18th Annual of which will be held at Port­

and study the exhibits of pure bred Beef and Dairy Cattle, Horses,
Sheep, Hogs, Goats and Foxes competing for the $100,000.00 offered
in prizes. Combined also are great Dairy, Land and Manufacturers’
Products Shows, Wool and Mohair Show, and Industrial Exposition.
Because of its educational value, greater size and increasing quality of
exhibits we, here at the Bank of Vernonia, recommend attendance
at this year’s Exposition.
