Portland yesterday, the patter of their
feet on the. pavements being as lively as
that,-or the raindrops. Chief Kf the as-
C. -A Johns, of Baker City, candidate
lor-&ver.ner, -who thinks "he has the lead
over Dr. James "Wlthycombe, T. T. Gecr,
C. A. Selilbrede and Harvey X. Brown,
aa4 'who says that the advent of "Hood
River" Smith will sot avail against his
E. VT Carter, of Ashland, who is inter
ested to know what strength is possessed
by Ralph W. Hoyt, of Portland; also
where George Steel, of Oregon City, is
going "to get votes, what J. H. Aitkin, of
Huntlagton, lias accomplished from a tour
of Southern Oregon, and where lies the
support of Thomas F. Ryan, of Oregon
City.
Jhn L. Rand, of Baker City, who says
the' labor leaders arc mistaken In suppos
ing him hostile to their Interests and that
he has come hither to convince them and
who does not think W. R, Ellis, of Pen
dleton, nor W. J. Lachner can wrest the
nomination from him and does not cx
a Tivi11 to be a candidate.
J. H. Aitkin, of Huntington, who thinks
he has done very well m soutnem vresuu,
the territory of Mr. Carter.
Portland Candidates Busy.
Meanwhile several gentlemen in Port
land, who aspire to the United States
Senatorshlp, were busily engaged. H. M.
Cake was one of them. Another was Jon
athan Bourne, Jr., also an open candidate,
and a. third, yet in the shy boom class,
was Charles H. Carey, whose popularity
was belne measured by several of his
friends, among them State Senator C. W,
Hodson.
Up to this time Mr. Bourne has been the
only avowed candidate lor the benator
ship. He has been held prominently be
fore the view of the state by his para
phlet advocating election of the people's
choice under the 'direct primary law, re
ceived by mail lay electors in all the coun
ties. The outside counties are disposed to
let Multnomah County put up the candl
dates for the Senatorshlp, and none of
them has yet produced one of its own.
They have been looking eagerly toward
Portland to learn what Republicans in
Multnomah would enter the contest, and
their inquiries have been answered with
only one name that of Mr. Bourne.
But Mr. Cake has come forth to bear
him company In the race. Mr. Cake will
run for the people's nomination under
the direct primary law. the same as
Mr. Bourne. He has laid plans for a
campaign not only of Multnoman
Co.unty but all pars of the state, and
next week will see him actively en
gaged in preparations for the contest.
As president of the Commercial Club,
he has been brought prominently be
fore the public in the last two or three
years $nd has become closely connect
ed with business activities of the city.
His brother, "W. M. Cake, preceded I.
R. Webster as County Judge of Mult
nomah. Judge Webster remains undecided
whethero try for the Senatorshlp or
for his present office, but Indications
point to his seeking election to the
Senatorshlp.
Carey Is Still in Doubt,
Boomers of C. H. Carey say that
their man does not know whether he
will run or not but that he "will do so
if they can find as large a popular
demand for him as they hope to hear.
Mr. Carey was chairman of the Repub
lican County Committee in the cam
paign of 1901 when the Mitchell forces
defeated the Simonltes under his lead
ership. He was a delegate to the Na
tional Convention of that year.
The visiting candidates were very
busy. Mr. Johns had just arrived from
a tour of Western Oregon, except for
the Coast counties, and was highly
encouraged in his quest for the Gov
ernorship. He said that his trip In Lane.
Douglas, Josephine and Jackson has
assured him that he will carry those
counties in the primary election. Al
though the Wlthycombe people lay
claim to those counties, this did not
disconcert Mr. Johns, who when their
claim was mentioned to him remarked:
"Walt and you'll see I am right."
Mr. Johns made a complete canvass of
the Important places In Southern Oregon
counties and says his rivals will appre
ciate his hold when tlicy shall try to
break it loose. He did not deny that the
.candidacy of E. L. Smith, of Hooa River,
would take ,some votes from him, but
said that political conditions had become
so settled that Mr. Smith could not
change them at so late a day.
He was half-way of the opinion that
Mr. Smith would not become a candidate,
because he believed that the Hood River
man's good sense would show him the
.futility of It. Smith's candidacy would
complicate matters and probably precipi
tate before the primaries a sharp stump
campaign that he believed would better
be avoided. Mr. Johns believed Dr.
Wlthycombe would And second place at
the finish of the race and T. T. Geer third.
He said that he himself would poll a
heavy vote in Geer's own Marion Counts'
and that nobody could wrest Polk from
him.
Mr. Johns returned home last night to
Baker City where he will stay a few
days ere starting out on a fresh cam
paign . in Willamette Valley and Coast
counties.
Rand Friendly to Labor.
Mr. Rand said that the campaign being
waged against him by the Portland Labor
Press and labor .leaders was inspired by
a mistaken Idea of his attitude toward
labor Interests and unions.
"I am no foe to labor unions nor to
their purposes." said he, "and tho per
sons who allege, this against mo are com
pletely in error. I did not oppose labor
interests at the last session of the Leg
islature where I was a State Senator.
"If the labor unions will give me op
portunity I will convince them that my
actions in the Legislature were not
against their Interests. I have come down
from Baker City for the especial purpose
of straightening this tangle out and I
am sure I can do it and allay the hos
tility that has been raised against me."
Mr. Rand will Interview labor leaders
today for this purpose. j
Police Go Too Far, He Says.
A lively skirmish between Deputy City
Attorney Fitzgerald and John F. Logan,
counsel for Fred Sechtcm, is looked for
at this rooming's cecrien eC the ituIcl
p&l Court, because oC the arrest of Sch-
tem. who permitted a disorderly woman
to enter The Quelle, on Sixth and Stark
streets. He was arrested yesterday, and
his case will be heard this morning. Mr.
Logan will contend that the police are
carrying things too far when they arrest
saloonkeepers who have restaurants In
their places of business, when women en
ter to take a meal.

"DEATH VALLEY. COYOTE" RUX
Santa Fe Publishes Account of
-"Scotty's" Transcontinental Trip.
The Santa Fe has Issued a novel ad
vertising folder telling of the record
run of the Walter Scott special from
Los Angeles to Chicago in ii hours. 54
minutes, starting July 9. 1905. A
graphic account of the record-breaking
run. the fastest time ever made In
transcontinental railroading, is writ
ten by Frank Newton Holman, a news
paper man, who was on the train. The
distance covered was 22G5 miles and
the run of the "Death Valley Coyote,"
as the Scott special was called, broke
the record of the Lowe special, until
last July the best performance of the
Santa Fc trains, which made the dis
tance In 52 hours and 49 minutes.
The Scott special consisted of a bag
gage car, diner and Pullman, with en
gines changed at the end of each divi
sion along the route, the equipment
averaging on the run about 338 tons,
and half the distance is over mountain
divisions.
On favorablo stretches the train
sprinted up to 10G miles an hour, while
around curves in the mountains the
special whipped along at a clip no other
Western train ever ran. As a spectacu
lar advertisement of its road, the Santa
Fc never did anything half so effective,
while as a smasher of former records
and the making of new ones, the run
was an equal success.
The folder will preserve the story of
what Is one of the most remarkable
accomplishments of American railroad
