Portland reports a landslide of referendums includes a measure to create county attorney offices in 20 counties not yet having a resident district attorney. Hood River already has Governor Weat’s appointee George Ed Wilbur. The bill’s tenure clause lets the governor appoint incumbents to four-year terms, potentially until 1916, despite a 1914 general election. A petition to challenge this will be filed before July 1. Counties affected include Lake Harney Grant Wallowa Morrow Gilliam Sherman Crook Hood River Curry Coos Josephine Lincoln Tillamook Yamhill Marion Polk Clackamas Clatsop and Benton. Each county is served by officials elected to a circuit but living elsewhere. Manufacturers seek a substitute for brittle glass.
