SALEM— Kenneth Brown of Ger-
vais is the mystery man of the pres
ent political campaign.
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. This com
bination has not been used in this
state since 1921, Snell said.
