MANY SEEKERS FOR OFFICE
Filing Time Ends with 258 Aspirants
In the Race.
Salem. Petitions and declarations
of 25S aspirants for party nominations
for state and district offices had been
received by Secretary of State Olcott
when the time for filing ended. The
number sets a new record, and a score
cr more of exciting contests are as
sured.
Of the aspirants 199 are republicans,
44 are democrats and 15 are progres
sives. In 1910, 81 republicans and 23
democrats filed, and in 1912, 125 re
publicans and 58 democrats filed.
The increase in filings is due large
ly to an amendment of the primary
law passed at the last session of the
legislature providing for aspirants for
all except county offices to file with
the secretary of state. The change
has greatly increased the work here
and as a result Mr. Olcott has bad day
and night forces of clerks at work for
more than a week and there still is a
large amount of work to be done.
Of all the contests, that for gover
nor promises to be the most exciting.
There are 15 aspirants for party nom
inations, a new record, and all are
