ELECTION DAY WEARING Electors Declared to Have Changed Minds After Giving Pledge of Their Support. . SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 12. (Spe cial.) Withdrawal of the name of Thomas G. Hammond, chairman of the executive committee of the Young Men's republican club, and the sub stitution of that of James B. Kinne, president of that organization, as the principal opponent of K. B. Palmer, ex-state senator, for the republican nomination to succeed George B. Lamping in the 37th "Capitol Hill" senatorial district, are the develop ments of the last two days in the pending contest. The republican county executive committee and the precinct commit teemen of that district have been called by Robert M. Jones, county chairman, to meet Tuesday evening for the purpose of making a nomina tion, as the names of all candidates must be filed with the county auditor before 5 o'clock Wednesday after noon.

When Senator Lamping decided to enter the race for port comnvssioner friends of Hammond urged him to make the effort to succeed him in the legislature. Ex-Senator Palmer be came an active candidate at once and asserts that he has the signed pledges of 52 of the 62 precinct committee men of that district, as well as a majority of the executive committee. Several precinct committeemen have changed their minds since signing the Palmer pledge and are now openly fighting him. Hammond, a former service man, became stronger because of this defection, but Friday he told the executive board of the Rolo club that he would not be a candidate, so that organization, officers said yes terday, will keep out of the fight, as there is no soldier runnin'g. Even before Hammond's announce ment to the veterans a number of members of the Young Men's Repub lican club, together with business men, had put Kinne forward and were making a campaign for him among the precinct and county committee. Kanne declined to become an active candidate, but the Palmer opposition was persistent and yesterday, after reiterating his former stand, Kinne said he would accept the nomination if offered him. but personally would do nothing to obtain it. With Ham mond out, Kinne's friends declared vesterdav thev would continue the light on Palmer. Tbree Names Mentioned. Durinsr the last 24 hours the name; of former state representatives, W. M. Pease and H. E. Foster, together with that of W. A. Gilmore, have been mentioned in connection with the senatorial vacancy.

Eugene 1 and this city which gave Reed the ( state chamDionshiD. Lewis Jones and James Gantenbein were members of the negative team; Jacob Weinstein and Easton Rothwell were members of the affirmative team, and Pro fessor George L. Koehn was debate coach." Jones and Gantenbein journeyed to Eugene, where they met Ralph Hoeber and Remey Cox, two members of the team which defeated the Uni versity of Washington last year. Reed's two representatives took the decision by a 2-to-l vote. In Port land, Weinstein and Rothwell met Maurice Buxton and John Nicols from the agricultural college and won by the same majority. This gave Reed four Judges' votes. At Corvallis, Ore gon Agricultural college defeated the University of Oregon by three votes, and with the one received at Reed a total of four also. However, accord ing to the rules of the contest, the team which obtains thus a victory by judges' votes also receives one extra vote.
