In the Democratic primary, he ran against incumbent Governor Charles Martin, as well as state representative O. Henry Oleen.[4] Harold L.

Sprague with 43% of the vote.[7]

Following his defeat, Hess served as U.S. Attorney for the United States District Court for the District of Oregon from 1945 until 1954. He was also a delegate to the 1944 Democratic National Convention.[8]
