I: is said that Ex-Congressman Ellis Is going to be a candidate for the United Slates senate against Senator Bourne. Also that Stephen A. Lowell and Dan Malarky and Judge Dimltk are also to enter the ring with the senator who wears a red carnation. This sounds well for Bourne, for If there, Is any one thing he do?s want it is a hurdle race with a lot of start ers. With a field against him there Is no way to beat Bourne for the nomi nation, whereas if Individuals would e nter on some man like Grant Dim ick there would be an excellent chance to keep Senator Bourne out of the senate. But Oregon wHl never center on anything not while the present generation lives. As a result the sen ator will rest easily and have a good tlm?, knowing that his enstnieg are his best friends when it comes to a nomination or an election. SEW TOWNS.
