Stassen, charging back into the state which he once thought was sewed up, had traveled some 2,465 miles in nine days. He spoke in a drenching rain at Coos Bay, addressed a crowd huddled under umbrellas at Newport, rode a white horse in Ontario, drank "blue ox milk" to please Roseburg's Paul Bunyan Club.
