It it becoming more apparent
each day that the battle for
United States Senator from Ore-,
gon is between Ben Selling and j
Jonathan Bourne. Mr. Selling
is making an active campaign for" j
the nomination and w ill very j

didate. In other words he will
turn democratic unless he is nom

States Senator from Oregon und
he has not seen Oregon for two

On the other hand Mr. Selling
jays thousands of dallars of tax

cessful business man and a faith
ful public servant, as has been
demonstrated in the official por
