What will happen in the mean time as the voters trek to their booths to mark their primary ballots will prove the most interest ing information in tnis and other Oregon communities for many years. Attracting by far the most rabid interest was the Democratic dog fight for the gubernatorial nomina tion. Incumbent Governor Martin and Henry L. Hess seemed to be sway out in front and the sparks were flying profusely as both took the stump for last-minute lashes at each other and at each other’s cam paign platform.

It will operate as much in June as it did in May.” He would neither confirm nor deny added activity, however.
