GOVERNOR BENSON.

OF all the public officials that Ore
gon has ever had, the present governor
advanced TO the office by peculiar cir
cumstances, is probably nearest COM
moner. Frank w. Benson loves his
oregon country next to his wife, and
he has that kindly feeling for Its every
citizen which makes him a great man.
He is possessed OF marked qualities Of
statesmanship, although he abhors the
plan OF calling attention to himself at
any time. Since his Induction into Of
five at Salem things have moved quite
differently than before, because he be-
lievos with all Of his heart and soul in
republican principles and the republic

People In Baker City knew OF Frank
Benson and had a high regard for him
before he spent two days in Baker last
week. but after he had associated with
the Baker people they not only retain
cd the high regard they possessed for
him. but they are now willing to go
out and do a little work TO see that he
Is retained In Office.
Governor Benson's nature is best H.
Illustrated by his attitude on the COVER
iiorship. II will be remembered that
he was elected 20 the office Of secre-
tary OF state and under oregon laws
he succeeded 20 the governors chair
because Of a vacancy. He is making

many Of the members Of the party are
