Not that there is anything so mysterious about Kenneth himself. He is the son of Sam Brown, the Gervais farmer who once ran for the republican nomination for gov- ernnor of Oregon (and came near getting it) on the slogan: "Forty Dollars and a Ford.” But the mystery lies in young Brown’s sudden interest in politics and in the forces that are back of his campaign. Practically unheard of outside of his immediate neighborhood up to the time he filed as a candidate for the republican nomination for Con gress in the first Oregon district, young Brown appeared at the state department during the eleventh- hour rush of belated candidates and slapped down a cold $500 to pay for his filing fee and four pages in the official voters pamphlet. As if such a display of ready cash on the part of a hitherto unheard of candidate was not enough to arouse the curiosity of the public, Brown's pamphlet statement is de voted almost entirely to an attack on the Jews. These facts, coupled with the further fact that Brown has al ready engaged in a lavish distribu tion of campaign literature repre senting liberal expenditures has very naturally aroused the question as to what individual or organiza tion is back of his candidacy—a question which will probably not be answered until he files his expense statement, if then. State Employees Warned on Reckless Driving Repeated complaints of reckless driving involving cars bearing th state’s official insignia has caused Governor Sprague to addiess a let ter to heads of all institutions and departments asking them to ad monish their employees against traffic law violations. According to state house gossip a number of de partment and institution heads have also been guilty of speeding and reckless driving in the past, apparently relying upon their offi cial status to protect them from in terference by traffic officials. It is understood, however, that the gov ernor has asked the state police to be more vigilant in their check on violators among public employees and to show no favoritism in the event an official or an employee is apprehended while violating the law. License Plate Colors for 1941 Secretary of State Snell has pick ed the color combination for Ore gon’s 1941 automobile license plates. They will consist of white numerals on a green background.
