to TTIE MORXIXO OREGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1912. REPRESENTATIVE IN CONGRESS AIM OF 4 N. J. Sinnott, of Wasco County, Will Enter. Contest From Second District. ELLIS MAY BE FIFTH MAN John P. Rusk, of La Grande; Gorg T. Cochran, of Same- Place, and g. Fred Wilson, of Athena, Seek Republican Nomination. It mar b a little prematura to mak. th. announcement. especially when th. fart la not supposed to be known out side a trusted few. but N. J. Sinnott. State Senator from Wasco County, will be a candidate for the Republican nom ination for Representative In Congreis from the Eastern Oregon, or Second Congressional nistrtct. This was de termined at a conference In this city a few days ago. The meeting was at tended by Mr. Sinnott and others, who have been following tha Cone-resslonat situation In the Second and Third Districts Decision thst Mr. Sinnott snouia en ter the Congressional race In the Sec ond District was not the only conclu sion reached at tha Portland confer ence, accord In ir to report. It Is under stood that Roger B. Sinnott. brother of the Senator from The Dalles, who was nursing an ambition to be the first Representative In Congress from the Third District, will not qualify aa a candidate for that nomination. Bratbera Hare Asp rati ma Both of the Slnnotts really wanted to go to Washington, but they and their friends were agreed that it would be advisable for only one to seek a nomination, even If they did reside In different Congressional districts. The result was that the brothers and some of their political friends arranged a meeting in this city when the situation was reviewed and the candidacy of the "gentleman from Wasco" decided upon In the Second District after the Port land lawyer concluded not to get into the contest in this district. Entrance of Senator Sinnott Into the contest for Congressional honors, makes four actlvs Republican candidates for this nomination In the Second District. FfYst to make a preliminary survey of the field and begin lining up support fnr this nomination waa John P. Rusk, of I .a Grande, who has been diligently working among the voters of the die trlrt for tha last six months. The other two active candidates are George T. Cochran, of La Grande, and 8. Fred Wilson, of Athena. Both of these men have for some time been thinking seri ously of seeking this office,- but It was not until yesterday. ' when they both chanced to ba In tha ctty. that they formally announced their candidacies. Casspaln la Be Active. "I have decided to become a candi date for Representative In Congress from Eastern Oregon. said Mr. Wilson, who Is a lawyer, yesterday at the Im perial. "Within a few days I shall Issue a formal declaration as to my candi dacy and the platform on which I (ball ak the Republican nomination and election. Already I have decided to conduct a mast vigorous oampalgn. throughout the district. From the as surances of support I am receiving, particularly from among the younger Republicans. I am confident of winning the nomination and election." Mr. Cochran la water commissioner far the Eastern Oregon division, and by reason of his official position has trav eled extensively over Eastern Oregon, and has a large acquaintance. With three or four rival candidates In the field for the nomination, the friends of Mr. Cochran declare he will be a win ner. Kills May Rater Race. The Impression still prevails that be fore the time expires In which candi dates may qualify for the primary nom inating election.. W. R. Ellis, of Pendle ton, ex-Representative, will Jum"p into the fray, expecting with a badly scat tered opposition to land the nomination. It Is known, however, that friends of Cochran have been exerting themselves to induce Ellis not to enter the contest under any circumstances. Although none of the candidates la the race will concede the fact, each Is said to be more fearful of the possible candidacy of Ellis than they are of either of their other rlvaJa for the nomination. and show rause why he should not return to the cirt t!0 ball money of John Stokes, wnlch he Is alleged to have obtained by falsehood. Mr. Magulre alleges the money be longs to Stokes, that he borrowed it from L. C Sisemore, and gave his note and mortgage as security. It waa de posited as bail, but aa Stokea ,was In jail Attorney Wilkina applied to Mr. Magulre to bava the ball returned, his explanation being that the money did not belong to Stokes, but to friends of his. says Msgulre. and that It must be returned to them. Mr. Magulre re plied, according to the affidavit, that he bad information that the money did belong to Stokes. . He refused to j recommend ita return. Attorney Wil klns obtained an order for the money from Judge Bean on tha same repreaen- t tation. cltea the affidavit, when Mr. Magulra could not produce first-hand evidence as to the ownership.' Stokes waa sentenced to serve o dsys In Jail, and to pay a fine'of $100 for introducing liquor on the Klamath Indian reservation. He has failed to pay the fine, and it la to obtain It that the demand Is made on Attorney Wil kin. It Is alleged that the attorney has converted pert of the money to his own use. and has the balance in bis i possession, that be has neither returned It to Stokes nor to his friends. Mr. Wllkins said last night the at tack upon him probably was "inspired." "I hold some money belonging to Mr. Sisemore." he said, "which was paid j to ma upon my application to him for j ball and expense money for this In dian. He sent in. 160. Of this $S0 wss applied on the expenses of tha trial: t0 has been applied to his ex penses since fie trial, with the ap proval of Mr. Sisemore by correspond ence. I have expected right along to pay out of the money the fine or loo, and so notified the United States Mar shal Saturday. That would leave lust about money enough for the defendant to ret home. Mr. Magulre made no ap plication to me for money, but procured bis order entirely ex parte. "The order setting the amount of tha rosta in the case has not yet been signed by Judge Wolverton. Ua re duced the cost bill from 1410 to about (:;.'. With the fine this will make ti:S which I will bava to pay out of the 1240. "I claim this is Slsemore'a money, and not Stokes, and therefore the Gov ernment baa no claim on It. If It is Stokes' money It is not applicable to the payment of a fine. It la ball money, and the defendant can do as he pleases with It. You can make htm pay a fine with It. but there has never been any disposition to avoid payment of the fine. I Intended to do It when his time Is up next Wednesday. I haven't offered to pay tha fine because the costs haven't been fixed yet. Mr. Magulre Is conducting a star chamber practice. If Sisemore authorises me to turn over this money to the Govern ment, it will be deposited In 20 minutes."

"Portland has one of the best loca tions In the entire country for a great city, but It cannot make tha strides expected of it unless your citizens get together and do something.", said A. J. Halter, a Ienver business man. before the Portland Realty Board, yesterday. "This city has by far greater advan tages than Denver. Kansaa City. 8t Louts and other Inland cities. It Is up to your own people to develop what Nature waa kind enough to do for you. "One of the most important things to bedone la the Improvement of your harbor. Tha Panama Canal will be a great aid to Portland, and you should do something now tn prepare for tha immense trade that will be yours If you go after It. There is no reason why Portland should not ouetrlp Seattle in commercial shipping for all time to come. Tou cinnot accomplish big things for your city by simply talking about them; you must adopt definite plana and sea that they are carried to a suc cessful conclusion." P. J. Gaehagbian and J. f. Buchanan, both members of the Seattle Ad Club, also made abort addresses, compliment ing the city for Its business prosperity and civic development. The board will discuss publicity meth ods next week. The subject of taking up a standard real estate contract will come up also for final action.

The campaign Is to he prosecuted with vigor and on a broadeV plane than here tofore, says Mr. Charlton. The main reason for this is that there will be so many attractions In the Pacific North west the coming Summer for which the low excursion, tourist and convention rates will be available Jointly, that the transportation companiea have- decide to make an extraordinary' effort to bring pleasure-seekers to tha Coaat this coming season. According to Mr. Charlton, tha Dig railroad companies are in sympathy with tha movement started in Portland to make the Summer months one con ttnuous season of gayety and will sist In bringing added attractions here to fill In the open datea between the Rose Festival and the Kins' urana Lodge Convention, the Seattle Golden Potlatch and the Tacoma International Tournament.
