PHOEBE SHARP, EARLY PIONEER PASSES ENROLLMENT IN SCHOOLS CHARLES HALL IS IN RACE NEARS 700 MARK FOR GOVERNORSHIP WEEK OF SPECIAL SERVICES STARTS SUNDAY 200 ENJOY COTTAGE GROVE PICNIC IN PORTLAND RAY AND YOUNG DROP RACE FOR LEGISLATURE Participation in Primaries May His Name From Ballot in General Election. Bar Portland, Aug. 12.— Senator Charles Hall, Monday night, accepted the nomi nation as independent candidate for governor, which was tendered him last ► ’Saturday night by a group of voters assembled in the Pythiau hall in Fort land. Henator Hall notified Secretary of Htate Sain Ko/er his acceptance and it now remains for the state’s attorney general to decide whether or not Hall s name can be placed oil the ballot. ” 1 believe there will be a third candidate for the governorship, and if there is, he will be a lively one,” said Henator Hall, Monday night. ” 1 have nothing to say just now ns to the present political outlook, but 1 will have something to say as soon as it is deceided whether or not 1 can be iu the race. “ 1 was told today that the meeting w hich nominated me was a very pr * resqutative one, consisting of men of prominence from all over the state. I also learned today that the particular movement which resulted in my nomi nation last Haturduy night had its birth at a farmers’ picnic a week ago at Champocg. “ 1 came to Portland on private busi ness aud 1 am returning to Marshfield Tuesday night.” Under the law today, September 12, is the last day upon which nominations made by an assembly of electors caip be filed with the secretary of Htate. It is also the last day upon which the nominee may file his acceptance of that nomination, so it will bo necessary not only for the certificate o f Sat urday’s meeting to be in the hands of the secretary of state by tonight, but the acceptance of Hall will have to be placed in the hands of Secretary of State Sam Kozer by that time if Hail m to bp given a place upon the ballot. And that, as well, raises a question that will have to be solved before Hall, can gain a place on the official ballot. There is a statute which pro vides specifically that any person who sought a nomination for any office at the primary election and was defeated may not become an independent candi date. The statute inhibits the secre tary of state, in this case from certi fying H a ll’s name to the county clerk’ for place on the ballot.
