JOHN ADAiR FOR CONGRESS John A. M. Ad'tir. of Portland, former congressman and well known citizen of this district, today filed his intentions with the secretary of state as a candidate for the democratic iHiiuiaation as congressman. He retired tn 1916 when he became a candidate for governor, after serving five terms with distinction and credit. Since that time he has kept in dose touch with affairs at Washington. having spent Buch of his time in the capital. He has but recently* returned from that city and has a knowledge of conditions there and over the country and an idea worth considering as to how best to correct them. Mr. Adair Issued a statement today in which he stated that his only reason for becoming a candidate is because he feels he can, with his experience'. serve the people of his district. state and nation. He is not seeking honor or the financial returns from the office but is desirous of assisting In putting in force certain reforms which will bring relief to the farmers, business men, laborers and the* people in general. He believes in the enforcement of law and that a general cleaning up of departments of government is necessary to secure that. Mr. Adair is capable and industrious and there Is no doubt that his employment to represent Ute eighth district in cungress would be wise. If you were employing a man to represent your business you would look for one with the proper qualifications. the best man you could get to take cure of duties. His past experience. Ms desire to serve, his ability to do so. makes him a man whom th<- people of the district will give serious consideration as a candidate fur < ongress. # • There is no way to do things for the- community without a fund.

Face to Face ; With r Herbert Hoover The Secretary of Commerce Os B The United States (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) s Not so long ago, Herbert Clark Hooj ver’s was one of the world's ffibest known names. His ac tivities in Eurj ope during the World War brought j him honors from other countries. His I appointment as U. 8. Food Commissioner had to do with almost every home and made his name a household word in the United States. As an executive. Herbert Hoover knows what he wants, and knows how to get it. Long training and worldwide experience as a mining engineer fitted him for mastering essential details to work out results. On the rolling lowa prairies at the village West Branch, surrounded by corn fields, he was born in 1874. He left early in life for Califofifiia and had the real struggles of an ambitious American boy. His first thought was an education. Graduating from Leland Stanford University in 1895, he had the satisfaction of having actually earned his education, working his way through college—there have been no idle moments in his busy career. Mining operations all over the world and human relationship in government and business have been studied and analyzed by Herbert Hoover to practical purpose. He has answered the problems presented him. Thorough Latin scholars, Mr. and Mrs. Hoover translated Agricola’s “De Re Mettallica,” and gave to the world one of the first scientific books from the Latin. When in Alaska with President ( Harding in 1923, I discovered in the library of the Agricultural College, a copy of this book occupying a place 1 of honor in the educational instltu- ■ tlon located farthest north on earth—uneffected by the magnetic pole. As Secretary of Commerce. Herbert , Hoover has made a notable rec-ord. In I charge <>f the radio development of the V. 8. A. and the development of commerce, be has been in close touch | with trade* conditions in every < oun- i try. 'Though at bis bust around the council board, he* has very little to say—but every word counts —and his words contain ideas. In 1920. at the Republican Conven-

tion in Chicago, his name was received with enthusiasm. At a hearing the testimony of Herbert Hoover is always dear, lucid, and to the point. Te sees all sides of a question and apparently see all sections of the country and their relations to each other in social as weH as economic progress. In the minds of a legion of admirers he is of Presidential calibre, and they believe the time is coming when the people will want a man of his recognized ability and genius in the executive chair. Counted one of the strong men of President Harding’s Cabinet. Herbert Hoover, of medium height, sturdy build, talking in a low tone of voice, is modest. He looks intently ut- some object while he is speaking, as if concentrating his mind on the subject under discussion. Following very closely the upheavels after the World War, he has given a great deal of study to railroads and the transporta- , tion problem, while his ideas on mar- ! keting have been hailed as one way •ti eliminate the wide variance of I prices between producer and consunij er. “If we will only apply some of the I economics we learned during the war. ! many vexing problems will solve ' themselves.” he remarked, making I figures on the pavement with his I foot.

Portland, Indiana. March 18. — i (Special To The Daily Democrat.). — j , On filing his application today with 'th® secretary of state, asking \ . that his name be placed on the prl- 1 . mary ballot as a candidate for Con- ! gress. Ex-Congressman John A. M. ■ Adair, of Portland, issued the follow-I , ing statement. "I am not seeking a seat in congress for the* honor there is in it. 1 have . . had that. I am not seeking the office because of the salary attached to It. I I can earn a living without that. I am simply offering my candidacy to I the voters of this district, believing my knowledge of public affairs, my • personal acquaintance with public! men and my past experience in na-* tional legislation, will enable me to render a real service for the people' of the eighth district. That much ! needs to be done, no one will deny, j Conditions generally are unsatisfac- ; tory. Agriculture is paralysed, farm-1 ers are discouraged. tabor is restless, J business is halting, taxes are burden-! some, our state government Is a disgrace, our nation's capital is reeking with scandal, graft and plunder, cabinet officers have irone wrong and have been forced to resign, government officials have been indicted by' the Federal Grand jury, government property running into the millions has been transferred to private intcrests.publie officials under suspicion *• are being investigated and many de-i>urtip<-nts of government are honey■cmibed with extravagance, corruption and graft.

This should be done J at the earliest possible moment.

Etonomy and efficiency permeate i every branch of the public servkce. ; Useless and unnecessary employees ; should be weeded out of every depart-' | ment of government and not a single i dollar of the peoples' money should ibe wasted.
