Whether or not visitors to New York

"I have not yet had time to decide

said 'Mr. Peterson this morning, "but
I have decided to make the race.
"Of course, since the district is safe!

All of the candidates are attorneys.
Oliver Is state senator from Union
county and was the democratic candi
date for eecsratary of state in the last
general election.
Burleigh is mayor of the .town. 'of
Enterprise, formerly represented Wal
lowa, county In th a legislature, and
for six, years served tha county as
clsrk of the court.
McCullough is state senator from
Baker county. He was recently re
tained by Governor Wi-st to dsfend
the executive In tfi'e . damage suit
brought aa!nst him and the state
land boarif by the Deschutes Land
and Irrigation company.
. Republican" Aspirants Numcron
Whil- the number of democratic as
pirants ia limited to four; no such
llmlta;lon . can b& placed upon the
number of republicans who are desir
ous of honoring the new district by
being the first to warm the new chair
in the national, house of representa
tives, for there are no less than 17 of
these.; ' ' .'- . .' '
Umatilla county Itself has at 'least
four possible candidates, and there
may be othrs. Probably chief among
there are ex-Congressman W, B. E11U.
Though a recent Portland Oregonlan
story announced that Ellis would be
a candidate for United States senator,
Ellis blmsalf would neither confirm
nor deny that he would be a candidate
tor any office. ; Close friends of the
former congressman have declared,
however, that th , Oregonlan story
was altogether unauthorised, that It
was inspired by political opponents
of Ellis, and that the latter positively
would not be a candidate for senator.
They Insist that If he i a candidate
for any office It will be that .of rep
resentative from the new district, ;.
Another,' local .. candidate Is (State
Senator' J. N. Bnrgesa. ,r Vn is one of
the leading sheepmen cf the . state,
having been president of the Oregon
Wool Growers' association for, three
years, and the sheep interests of East.
i ern Oregon are said to be urging him
to make the race.' . . ..." ,
Other Umatilla county candidates are
Joint Senator C. A. Barrett of Athena
and Attorney S. F. Wilson of Athena.
These two men were pitted against
eath other In the last republican pri
maries and their campaign was one of
the hottest waged a that time. Wil
son's name Eas been considered for
some tims in connection with the new
congressional role and recently it was
ascertained on good authority that If
Wilson becomes a candidate " Barrett
will also.
Baker lias Two Candidates
Baker county has two candidates
for the new position in the persons of
ex-Mayor James A. Johns, who also
formerly was a candidate for gover
nor, and Sta'e Senator J. N. Hart.
Representative W. H. Brooke, erst
while candidate for speaker of the late
house of representatives, probably will
be, Malheur's lone candidate for the
republican nomination.'
Next to Umatilla, Union county has
the greatest number of republican as
pirants for the position. These are
George T. Cochran, the present .-water
commissioner for the Eastern Oregon
district; District Attorney F. S. Ivan
hoe and John P. Rusk, better known
as "Jerry," speaker of the last house
of representatives and a former resi
dent of Joseph. Rusk represented
Wallowa county in the ' last legisla
ture, but recently moved to La Grande
so as to be more centrally located In
the new district. ' .T't;'':
"Among the otber leading men whosa
names are connected by rumor with
the "congressional position are Joint
Representative T. J. Mahoney of Hepp
ner, Attorney Otis Pattison of Can-
yon City, Grant county; W Lair
Thompson, representative from Lake
county, and one pf the numerous can
didates for speaker of the last house ;
Judge R. R, BvttJrr, who recently re:
moved from Condon to The Dalles;
Attorney Nick Sinnoft of The Dalles.
and state senator from Wasco county;
District Attorney Fred W. Wilson, of
The Dalles, and ex-Congressman JM.
A. Moody, also of the DallsSj f -'
These are the principal ones who ar
known to be considerlnj the advisa
bility of entering the race, but ther?
probably are others. The process of
elimination; therefore will be clossly
watched by Eastern Oregon's political
observers.
