SUPT. STATE PENITENTIARY.

There is no question in the minds
of those best posted on the subject
that Charles w. James, has made one
of the best superintendent of the
state penitentiary that the state of
Oregon has ever had and there is a
very generally expressed sentiment
that he should be retained in his
present position regardless of poll
tics simply because his administra-
ton has been along progressive and
humane lines and the affairs of the
institution conducted in manner
highly satisfactory to the people as
a whole. Mr. James is a gentleman
of ripe judgment and wide expert
