1 THE MORNIXG OREGONIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1920 IHHH List Sounds Like Roll Call of Oregon's Upper House. SOME MUST RUN AGAIN MANY SENATORS ARE THROE ASPIRANTS Con lest Xow for Presidency of Bodj Seems to Lie Between Ritner and Banks. Most of tlie members of the legis lature want to be candidates for rer election in the May primaries, judg ing from the gossip of the legisla tors who are still in Portland while on their way home from the ex traordinary session. At 'the present writing, there are seven candidates for president of the senate. The list of aspirants, which sounds like a rollcall of the senate, consists of both the Smiths, J. C. of Josephine and Ira S. of Coos and Curry; W. W. Banks of Multnomah, R. W. Ritner of Umatilla, 1. L. Patterson of Polk, B. L. Eddy ot Douglas and Louis Lachmund of Marion. .During the reg ular session, Julien Hurley hinted that he would be a candidate, but yester day he declared he doesn't aspire to the throne and will concern himself with being returned to the senate. 'Of course." admitted Senator Hur ley, "if there is a big scramble. I might pop into the race for presi dent." Senator Ira S. Smith's term has expired, so he will have to get the nomination and be elected before he can be a contender for the presidency. Dr. Smith of Grants Pass is in the same kind of a boat and so Is Sena tor Eddy, so that three of the pros pective candidates must race in the primaries and finals before they can get into action in the senate. It is said that Senator W. T. Vinton, the outgoing president, will support the Eddy candidacy. Senator Eber hard of Union county opined that all the eastern Oregon senators will con solidate their support for Senator Ritner. Senator Lachmund and Sen ator Patterson, who live so close to gether, although in different counties, that only the Willamette river sepa rates them, each expects to draw on the Willamette valley for support, and Senator Banks does not intend over looking any bets in that direction himself. The shape-up of the contest, at this time, appears to be between Ritner and Banks, who are close per sonal friendsl Representative Cyril Biownell and K. P. Dodd, who have the Umatilla district, are willing to run again. Each has served a term and they con tend that, having had their eye-teeth cut, they will be more valuable in a second term than even in the first. Harvey Cross of Clackamas is non committal, but a delegation has called on him and suggested that he run for the uncompleted term of the late Walter Dlmick in the senate. Oeorge C. Brownell, Chris Scheubel and Grant Dimick are also talked of tor this vacancy. E. E. Brodie, who decided not to be- a candidate for secretary of . state, is expected to be a candidate for the legislature from Clackamas, probably for the house. Louis Bean will run for the house from Lane county, and if elected he will be a candidate for speaker, ac- cording to rumors. Whether C. H. Brand or Roy Griggs of Douglas will come back is not certain, as there is some talk of new candidates for their jobs. Dr. W. D. Wood, who has been in the senate for about 1- years, is sus pected of being on the verge of an nouncing himself for secretary of state. Eyeing this prospective va cancy E. W. Haines and William Hare, both of Washington, are expected to make a try in the primaries, although some legislators figure that Hare and Haines will come to an understand ing and that only one. will go for the senatorial nomination. Four counties are in the district represented by Senator T. B. Hand ley. From three of these counties Senator Handley has already received requests to run to succeed himself. W. N. Dennis, representing Yamhill, has made no decision. He gained the reputation of being the most consci entious worker in the house as chair man of the committee on roads and highways. L. M. Graham of Wash ington will be a candidate in the pri maries. Denton Burdick will run again. There are two prospective contenders for his seat, one from Klamath Falls and the other from Bend. Mr. Burdick Coming from Redmond. With the governor placing a veto n the straight-ticket bill. Walter M. Pierce is considered as a candidate to succeed himself in the senate, al though A. R. Hunter, democrat, from Island City, has been urged to go after the senatorial nomination. As B. F. Jones of Lincoln is a candidate for secretary of state, someone else will be running for representative of that county. a H Clothes Savings Start With All Wool ALL-WOOL fabrics and fine tailoring in clothes mean longer wear.

"This should be called the 'spare rib' bill instead of the traditional 'pork barrel'," Representative Free man, republican. Connecticut, sam m defense of the measure. "Spare ribs means plenty of hone but little meat," Representative Blan- ton, democrat, Texas, interjected. Approximately J60.000.000 remain unexpended from previous appropria tions.

Representative Lea. democrat, Cal ifornia, complained that no hearings were held after the $12,000,000 total was decided upon. Western members complained that government projects under way would be neglected because of the smallness of the sum, which would result in all money invested so far being lost. Committee members, however, con tended that Secretary Baker was "amply provided with funds to con tinue the work."

You can thus assure to your heirs the business management and financial responsibility which these institutions afford. Your wishes can be observed in the distribution of your property, for if you do not leave a Will the Law may divide up your possessions in a way that you might not desire. ow to Ihlsiv i N o w Until Friday Night J by Peter B.
