1 THK MORNING OREGOXIAy, SATURDAY. OClNSER 16. 19T5. MANY MENTIONED FOR PRIMARY RACE Possible Candidates Appear for Judge McGinn's Post, , Vacated Next Fall. 3 MAY SEEK RE-ELECTION Judges Kavanaugh and Gatens Are Likely to Bare Opposition as t Well as T. J. Clecton All Suggested for Places Again. Although the primary elections are yet more than six months away it Is apparent already that candidates for nominations will be as numerous as usual, if not more so. The positions now most sought'after, It seems, are the Judgeships, three of which will be vacated by the expira tion of the terms of the incumbents, following the election next Fall. Inasmuch as Judge McGinn has ex pressed his intention not to become a candidate for re-election, most interest seems to center in the contest to suc ceed him. At present, Conrad P. Olson and W. M. ("Pike") Davis are the most likely candidates in prospect for the Repub lican nomination for Judge McGinn's bench. Neither has formally thrown his hat into the proverbial ring, but both hats are off and ready to be flung "When the opportune moment arrives. Bota Have Luge Follovrlns. Mr. Olson was a member of the last two Legislatures, in the session of 1915 being chairman of the judiciary com mittee. He has been a. resident of Portland for more than a decade, com ing here from Wisconsin, where he was graduated from the State University. Mr. Davis also is widelv k lawyer, having practiced in Portland for many years. He Is said to have a large following. It has been suggested that Municipal Judge John H. Stevenson may be a can didate for the Democratic nomination for Judge McGinn's place, but so far juage btevenson has declined to be tempted. The terms of Judge Gatens and Judge Kavanaugh also will expire following next year's election. It is understood that each will be a candidate to succeed himself. Judge Gatens Is a Democrat and Judge Kavanaugh a Republican. Frank S. Grant, ex-City Attorney, may be a candidate for the Republican nomination for Judge Gatens' depart ment, it is reported. George Tazwell, who was defeated for the judgeship three years ago. It is said, may be an opponent of Judge Kavanaugh for the Republican nomination. Fred L. Olson, formerly a Justice of the Peace, and candidate for a Judge ship nomination last year, too, may en ter the race against Judge Kavanaugh. It is understood, however, that Mr. Ol son is being urged by his friends to become a candidate for the nomination for the County Court. Judge T. J. Clee ton, the incumbent, probably will be a candidate to succeed himself in that office. Before the primaries are held many other aspirants will appear, but those already mentioned are expected to be among the most prominent during the campaign. District Attorney Evans doubtless will be a candidate for another term and is expected to have some opposition for the nomination. John R. Lutour ette, a prominent young attorney and an ex-member of the Legislature, is ex pected to be a candidate for District Attorney in the Republican primaries. Charles J. Schnabel also has been pro posed in this connection.

CAMPAIGN STEPS TAKEN "ELECTniC'AL PROSPEHIT1' WEEK" PLANS ARE ARRANGED. Enarlnrera and l.lxht Association Branch Outline Information and , Educational Movement. Definite steps for launching the now Nation-wide "Electrical Prosperity Week" campaign in Portland and sur rounding territory were taken at a Joint meeting, of the local chapter of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and of the Portland branch of the National Electric Light Associa tion, at the Portland Automobile Club, Wednesday night. Plans were outlined for a unique celebration for "Prosperity week," No vember 29 to December 4. Central sta tions, electrical manufacturers, elec trical Jobbers, electrical contractors, electrical dealers, local electrtcal or ganization, department stores, non-electrical manufacturers and merchants, public schools, women's clubs and va rious kindred activities -re expected to take part. The meanlns: of "Prosperity week" was outlined by Committee Chairman O. B. Coldwell. Data now in the hands of the committee indicate that more Enforcement of "Weeks Law t. Protect 1 Forests and "Watersheds Urged on Secretary Houston "At least 30 per cent of the timber that ' Is cut in the United States is wasted." This was the statement of P. S. Tisdale, of Washington, D. C. secretary of the American Forestry Association, who is in Portland. He is making a detailed study of lumber and forestry problems in the region west of the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Tisdale explains this by saying that there is no market for the grade of timber left when logging is done and that the lumberman is not justi fied in logging timber for which but a small market exists. Assessing the value of the 30 per cent that is lost to the timber trade at the lowest possible figure, Mr. Tisdale declares that the United States loses approximately 1200,000,000 yearly and that if it. were possible to save the timber thus lost, the lives of Ameri can forests would be lengthened 30 years. Mr. Tisdale said that the association that he represents had impressed upon the mind of Secretary of Agriculture Houston the necessity of additional appropriations to continue enforcement of the Weeks law that becomes in operative unless Congress makes the additional appropriations. The Weeks law provides for state and Federal co operation in the protection of water sheds of navigable rivers, and forests have been protected under the provi sions of the Weeks law that otherwise would have lacked fire protection. Mr. Tisdale' is on . his way to Cali fornia. Joseph N. Teal is a vice-president of the organization that Mr. Tis dale represents.
