Hon. jeff Myers of Salem, one of the
leading Democrats of Oregon, but a
gentleman and scholar, nevertheless,
and also member of the Lewis and
Clark Fair Commission, was present
and, upon invitation, made few ex-
planatory remarks relative to the Fair,
and asking The support of Lincoln
county. Mr.. Myers received quite an
ovation. He seemed entirely at home
in n Republican convention. In the
language quoted by Commissioners
George King:
While the light holds out 10 burn
The vilest sinner may return.
While matters pertaining to the inter-
ests of Lincoln county were under dis
cussion Commissioner George King
took advantage OF the occasion to see
how the representatives of the people
who were present felt about an appro.
priation by the county for literature
and an exhibit to be placed with the
Oregon Information Bureauat Portland.
A vote showed it to be the unanimous
sense of the delegates that the county
court appropriate 800 for that purpose,
TO be used in conjunction with other
funds raised by the Lincoln County
Board of Trade. All this was some
thing of an innovation Id political
convention, but it took immensely, and
added much to the success of the love
feast.
