ment .of Will R. Kinar. Democratic Na
tionalcommitteeman for Oregon. It was
declared here today, but will encounte:
the active opposition of that Demo
cratlc leader.
Judge King himself refused to dis
cuss the subject here today, but It was
said by a man who is believed to be
well informed that the ground of his
opposition would be that Mr. Teal had
not done enough work for the party to
entitle him to so distinguished con
sineration. Judge King himself was
one of the early lndorsers of Governor
Wilson's candidacy, and his work for
Wilson in the Oregon primaries and
afterward at the Baltimore convention,
and still later at the Western Demo
cratic headquarters at Chicago, brought
mm in close touch with men who, it is
believed, will be high in the councils
of the Wilson Administration. Among
these men Is William F. HcCombs,
chairman of the National Committee.
