"Jack Wagner To Seek Seat In Legislature"
Jack Wagner, engaged in the automobile business, has announced his
candidacy
for the democratic nomination for state representative from Multnomah
County. He is for Roosevelt, preservation of Oregon's natural resources,
the cause of the "oppressed people", and the best old-age pension plan
available. While not a member of a Townsend club, he feels kindly toward
the plan, he said. Wagner was born in the Volga valley in Russia in 1895 of
German parentage. His father and grandfather came to Oregon in 1899.
Wagner is secretary of the Oregon Truckmen's Association.
