GOVERNOR STRONG WANTED MACHINE
 ID ENDORSE HIM
Offered to Work with Organization and Then Resign Place
 Within Year

There has been a lot of fine talk about the bravery" of Gov. J. F. A. Strong for standing erect and fight ing the Democratic Machine" and sacrificing his political career there by. This is simply another masquer- ade costume. Let the facts expose 1t.
 When it became apparent that there was opposition to the reap pointment of Gov. Strong, opposition originating among the rank and file of the Democratic party in Alaska which those who had been chosen to represent that party in the organi- zation felt that they could not longer resist, Gov. Strong sent word to the organization that if his reappoint- ment were opposed he would destroy the party in Alaska. "1 will show them that I can tear down as much of the party as any one man." he declared. But this threat only made more determined the opposition, be- cause it but illustrated the person al" nature of his conception of his official and party position.
 Then what did Gov. Strong do?
 He tried to make peace with the organization. He sent word to the men who constituted the Democratic or ganization that he was becoming tir- ed of being Governor of Alaska any how, and that if the leaders would endorse him for reappointment he would work with the organization and would resign within less than a year from the date of his reappoint- ment." He said, further, that his choice for a successor would be Judge Jennings. THIS WAS AFTER JUDGE JENNINGS HAD DIRECTED THAT THE CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION IN THE DELEGATESHIP CONTEST SHOULD BE ISSUED TO CHARLES A. SULZER.
 Let it be said to the credit of Ma llOlldl I DoIohoS and the others of the Democratic or ganization that they decided they could not agree to the recOmmenda- tion of a man for high office "who had only promise to resign within a year to commend him." We want to recommend a man whom we do not want to resign, said MT. DonohOe and the others.
 At this time, it is also fair to say, the Democratic organization did not believe that it would be strong enough to encompass the defeat of Governor Strong for reappointment. While it was believed that he was a foreigner. masquerading as an American. it was believed the facts were probably so well covered that it would be impos- sible to produce the truth. However so thoroughly impressed were the Ma ti0nal Committeeman and the major ity of the Territorial Central Com mittee of the fact that Gov. Strong had completely failed to measure up to the standard of efficiency and couT- age and capacity to lead that should be that of the Governor of the Ter ritory, and so completely convinced were they that he was hopelessly un- der the power of Wickersham and ut terly unfit for the position, that 1t was agreed that they could not in con- science recommend him for reappoint- ment. They expected that he would be reappointed in spite of them, but they felt that it were better to lose battle fighting for the good of Alaska

something to pass the buck to in time
of trouble, and farm machinery is
looked to as the goat by go-ahead far
mers in many parts of Oregon. Big
ger crops than ever before with scar
Ger and higher priced labor than ever
before quite evidently can be raised
in no other way.
Tractors for plowing and harrow
ing, combines for harvesting and
threshing the grain crops, and bulk
elevators for handling the grain, are
the types most counted on for doing
the work of the farm help called to
the trenches or other lines Of service.
Milking machines are also being in
troduced in large numbers into the
dairy districts of the State.
Farm tractor dealers put 21 tract
ors, big and little, into the Farmers
Week demonstration at the College,
to give farmers chance to see and
study them and pick out the ones best
suited to their uses. This indicates
the strength of the demand they ex-
pect. The College farm mechanics
department is conducting a four
week tractor course, to train farmers
and farm help in using and caring for
the big machines.

mittee.

Corvallis, Ore, Jan. 16.-An Ore
gon man has won place on the Plant
Pathologist War Board, a national
organization formed to increase food

losses due to plant diseases. At the
recent meeting of plant pathologists
at Pittsburg, Prof. H. P. Barss was

Plant Pathologists War Board, being
the only representative west of the
Mississippi valley.
The Board has undertaken a ma
tion-wide campaign to reduce the
enormous losses to the principal crops
by plant diseases. Federal aid will
be sought for each of the states in
pushing the campaign. The annual
loss in Oregon from plant diseases
alone is six to ten million dollars.
Prof. Barss is getting together In
formation on the crop losses in Ore
gon and the other western states to
present to the Government, in order
that correct idea of the annual DAM
age may impress congress with the
need of help In this work as part Of
the plan to increase food production
during the war.
All citizens of Oregon who are in
possession of information as to crop
damage from diseases are requested
by Prof. Barss to send statement
of the same to him at Corvallis, care
of the Oregon Agricultural College.
The work is already under way. and
the information sought has been re-
ported from some parts of the State.
