Fetitions and declarations of 258 aspir ants for party nominations for state and district offices had been received by Secretary of State Olcott when the time for filing ended tonight. The number sets a new record, and a score or more of exciting contests are aB sured. Contrary to general belief, the pe titions were unusually accurate an complete. Mr. Olcott Baid at mldnigh that he did not believe any asplran would be deprived of representation on the ballot because of a faulty petition. Many would have suffered, however, because of blunders in that line had not the Secretary and his corps of as sistants pointed out errors to them in time for corrections. 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. CTV Law One Cans of Increase. The increase In filings is due largely to an amendment of the primary law passed at the last session of the Leg islature providing for aspirants for all except county offices to file with the iieeretary of State. The change has greatly increased the work here and as a result Mr. Olcott has had day and night forces of clerks at work for more than a week and there still is a large amount of work to b done. Of all the contests, that for Governor promises to be the most exciting. There are 15 aspirants for party nominations, a new record, and all are actively en gaged In campaign work. Those seek ing the Republican nomination are Grant B. Dimick, Oregon City; A. M Crawford, Roseburg; -William A. Carter, Portland; T. T. Geer, Portland; James Withycombe, Corvallis; Charles A. Johns, Portland; Gus C. Moser, Port land, and George C. Brownell. Oregon City. The Democrats are John Man ning, Portland; C. J. Smith, Portland A. S. Bennett, The Dalles, and Robert A. Miller. Portland. L. H. McMahan, F. M..GU1 and G. A Cobb seek the Pro gressive nomination 49 Seek 12 Places. That Multnomah County will be th battleground of exciting contests fo representation in the State Legisla ture is indicated by the entrance o 4S aspirants. 38 of them being Republl cans, four Democrats and four Progres sives. There are 12 places to fill so just three-fourtlis of those now in the race will fall of the goal. The contest for United States Sena tor, so far as the primary is concerned is of little interest, for the Republl can. Democratic and Progressive parties each has only one aspirant respective ly, as follows: R. A. Booth, Kugene George E. Chamberlain, Tillamook, and William Hanley, Burns. N. J. Sinnott, Representative from the Second District, and aspirant for the Republican nomination, not only has it handed to him on a silver plat ter, so to speak, but he is without a opponent of any other party. In th First and Third districts there are numerous entrants. Tom Kay la Out. As was generally expected Torn Kay, uumiiiui . t inuitti uunaue selec tive, did not tile his completed petl tion and so far as the Republican noml nation is concerned he is not a factor. His failure to qualify is taken as proof by the friends of Thomas B. Kay, present State Treasurer and aspirant for the office again, that the announce ment of the other Kay was not in good faith. It was considered from the start as a political trick intended to harass the State Treasurer. It is predicted that next to the race for Governor that for Justices of the Supreme Court will give the most 'thrills. There are ten entrants and only four places to fill, so a majority of those seeking the privilege of wear ing the ermine on the highest tribunal in the state will be disappointed. Of the entrants Thomas A. McBrlde, of Oregon City, is present Chief Justice, and Charles L. McNary. of Salem Henry J. Bean, of Pendleton, and Wil liam M. Ramsey, of McMinnville, are members of the .bench. All are Re publicans except Justice Ramsey. Others seeking the honor are Henry J. Ben son, of Klamath Falls, Circuit Judge lawrence T.
