CHAMBERLAIN A DEMOCRAT
Oregon Executive viii Be Can
didate of His Party for
Reelection.

Governor George z. Chamberlain of
Oregon, who officiated yesterday as the
temporary presiding officer of the See
America First" conference, is the only
democratic executive in the west. Gov
ernor Chamberlain stemmed the tide Of
a Republican landslide in Oregon in
1902, and was the only Democrat elect
ed on his ticket. He will be a candi-
date for reelection this year, and will
have no opposition in the Democratic
primaries.
Oregon is normally Republican. of
course" said Governor Chamberlain
yesterday, but I believe the Demo-
Gratis will carry il at the election next
June. The Republican party is more
or less demoralized, and there is a gen
eral sentiment among the people in
favor of turning the state government
and the congressional delegation over
to the Democrats.
II am proud to have been able to
name a man OF the attachments, intel
lectually and morally, of John NJ.
Gearin to represent Oregon in the
United States senate" continued the
governor. 'Since he arrived in Wash

ton both of his colleagues in the SEN

WHAT HUNYADI JANOS is
The origin of the Name.

In Hungary, in the 10th Century
there lived a wonderful mana great
soldier and wise statesman-whol was
principally instrumental in driving
back the 'Unspeakable Turk" and
keeping him out of Hungary at the
period when bands of these marauders
were ravaging most of Europe. By
his victories in war and peace this
man endeared himself to the people
and gained great and permanent
place in the Nations history. His
name was HUNYADI JANOS, or John
Hunyadi, as il would be in English.
To the present day, in the affections
of all Hungarians, he holds the place
of one of their greatest national
Heroes. Is it strange then that they
should wish to give this honored
name to one of their most wonderful
natural products-the famous Mineral
Laxative Water from the Springs at
Buda Pest? The unfailing value of
this water as sure and gentle Nat
ural Laxative has gained for it a
world wide reputation, greater even
than that enjoyed by old John Hun
yadi in Hungary. A bottle costs but
a trifle and contains many doses. One
dose, half a tumblerful drunk on
arising, slightly warmed for best re-
sults). will within an hour move the
