Pierce Said to Be Firm.
Governor-eiect Pierce is said to take
the position that all heads of the
institutions should tender their resig.
nations following the example of the
state highway commission. Strong
pressure was brought to bear on Pierce
in favor of letting things stand for at
least few months, and the Oregonian
wrote several real editorials asking
that the governor elect be reasonable.
The reply came back that Mr.. Pierce
wants complete control. 1t was upon.
receipt of this news that the highway
commissioners decided to resign, and
several other high appointees will
also offer to get out of the way. This
includes DR.. Steiner, superintendent of
the insane asylum, who was made a
secondary issue in the campaign.
That four of the principal officers
have decided to step aside will doubt
less set the example that will make
it possible for Pierce to have his own
way This means that there will be
such house cleaning in Oregon as has
not been seen in years, and that the
new governor will be able to assume
the full responsibility that he seems to
want.
The go betweens that approached

in the interest of keeping officials in
office are said to have found the La
Grande man in very bad humor, in
fact almost as angry as he was when
first asked to sign up in favor of the
school bill, which is another story that
may get telling in the future. Pierce
is said to have said bluntly that he pro.
posed to use all the power vested in
a governor to get" the various Off
cials, and that nothing would please
him so much as to have them tender
their designations.
Plenty of Applicants
! 1ncidently 1t is said that Pierce hae
all the way from dozen to fifty ap-
plicants for every place that it will be
possible for him to fill during the
four years, and that already he is get
ting touch of that disappointment
in human nature felt by every man
elected to office carrying with it de-
sirable patronage. The governor to-
be is genuinely worried about the pos
sibility of satisf.s ng all the elements
that contributed to his election. This
is particularly true in view of the
fact that the democratic organization

practically every place at his dis.
posal and then has not enough to go
around. The democrats have been
out in Oregon for many years, and do
not seem disposed to recognize the
republican groups that really elected
Pierce.
Fred L. Clifford, as spokesman for
the Ku Klux Klan, insists that his or
ganization must be decidedly recog.
hized, and is citing an alleged pre-
election agreement by which he was
to have say in the appointments
made. Although somewhat discredit.
ed by the outcome of the election in
Portland Mr. Clifford insists that it
was the Klan that put Pierce over in
the outlaying sections Of the state. He
goes into particulars by citing the
counties where the Klan was strong
and where Pierce made a fine show.

1t is already evident that the Klan

recognition at the hands of the state

upon the part of the people that the

and that it is getting too much of the

In the face of the advice of their strong

secured after repeated appeals, both

dt was remarked in Portland that
neither of the senators were seen
about their old haunts in the North

rival in Oregon. 1t was from these old
hunts that they were asked to keep

NO MisTAKING THIS LAW.

pERHAPS no law, except possibly
the prohibition act, has BEEN so
loosely regarded in Georgia as the
automobile license law. There have
been eyasions of the Law, private in
terpre9s tions of the law and varied
constructions placed upon it by Of.
ficials charged with its enforcement,
And yet it is as plain and positive as
a law can be-and means exactly
what at says In short, regardless of
the circumstances or intent, it is a
violation of the law to drive an au-
tomobile in Georgia at any time with

and went at once to the sheriff and
told him that he had lost the tag from

could procure duplicate. The sher-
if gave him Instructions about how

The defendant inquired of the sher-
