Ids loKn Is "t'p with the flag and down ittti th KttMr and th prof iteer." Th announcement of Oswald Wfffa f'natortnl candidacy Is not a surprise here. in fact, it has been expected d.ulr for two weks. Ily many It Is troncty suspected that th ex-CJov-ernor was a tentative candidate for th Senators hip ever sine the campaign opened, but ft mi only recently the re rr scot out that he miarht be forced by th exigencies of the senatorial sit- , option to come out openly and for mally tlWIar his candidacy. TU ortcinal plan of Mr. West's f ri nds. JutlKed by ubejuent d ere lop men ts. was to keep any othr Iemo crt from boomlntc a candidate for Senator. Witn no nimfi printed on th ballot. It would be an easy matter fr supporters of the ex-Oovrnor to w rtte bis nam to and make him a prrnt of the nomination. In that nt, if Senator Mc.Nary, whose candid-key for re-election la thouacht not to have Ken distasteful to the West people, should win the Republican nomination. Mr. West would be In po sition to decline th Democratic nomi nation. If. on the other hand. It. N. Man fir Id should be nominated by the Kfpuhilrans. Mr. West could gracefully accept the proffered nomination of his party and oppos Mr. Stanfivld In the Vrizu.ar.es. Mr. Klac Will St Qlf. But this plan was rudely upset by Samuel Whit early tn th year, when ha announced that he would seek the nomination. Shortly afterward Judsre Wt:l 1L Klnc. who I by no means affiliated with the West forces, in oum-d hi candtdsry. strenuous ef forts sere then made to persuade both to withdraw. Just oefore Judge White plinnet to file his announcement he mas commissioned Major In the Judge Advocat s department. He accepted the Majority and dropped hia Sena torial aspiratlors.

In view of Mr. West's) reported frindshti for Mr. McXary. supporters of Mr. tsnfield contend that th en trance of Mr. West Into th Senator ship at this late day Is not so much from far that Mr. King mlaht win th I-mt-raM nomination If Mr. West d'.l not formally become a candidal, but amounts to an admission from th West roplf that Mr. ManfieM may de-f-at Mr. McNary la tha Kf publican t riauric seeae rat la IHWwaamav Th candidacy of Mr. West further rompln-af.es an already Interesting po litical situation whirh extends beyond the -rnatorshtn.

In other words, tries Pemocrats n ut now choose between Mr. McNary and Mr. Olcott on one hand and Mr. V rat on the other. They cannot give tr.r.r vot-a to all three.

He has had 19 years' experience in the National Guard and Volunteer Army and now holds a commission in the military service. About the middle of January he ap plied for a commisMion in the National Army, and on February 10 received commission as Major. . On February he received a letter from Congressman Mc.Vrthur asserting that the Adjutant General of the Army had advised bim that this commission bad been Issued through inadvertence.

COBVAT.LTS, April 11. (Spectat) Saturday will eee the annual outdoor interclass track meet on the Oregon Agricultural College field. This year Cuach plpal intends to use this as a preliminary tryout for the big Indoor meet at Portland, April 2. However, final tryouts will be held on April 20, and the squad which will make the Portland trip will be picked from the winners of this tryout. O. A. C.'s chancea In the sprints this year look rather bright, with Mattox, Green. Corey and Carter all turning out regularly. Mattox and Green were both members of the freshman team of last year. In the 440-yard dash there la a scarcity of men out, but among the most likely so far are Scea and Walker, both cross-country men. The 680-yard run will be well taken care of by Cap tain Coleman, who will also tend to the mile event. Spriggs. Reynolds and Ford are the two mile men, and it is considered that that event is well taken care of by these men. New Mea la Hurdles. Rsdcllffe and Mlkleman are the en tries in the high hurdles. Both are new men. never having entered intercol legiate competition before, and Ftkle man Is now trying that event for the first time. Kadcliffe and Horner will be the entries for the low hurdles. "Butts" Keardon has also done eome work In this event, but is devoting most of his time to baseball. Oregon Agricultural College lost one of Its sure point-winners when Dale Perry, the husky sophomore, left about a week ago to work in the shipyards at Portland. Perry was putting the shot nearly 41 feet, and throwing the iscun over ua xeet- Horner, the low hurdle man. Is the likeliest man now showing up for the pole vault. West and Connell are turning out recently, though, and are expected to develop into point- winners. Eikleman, Connell and Hor ner are working some on the high jumps. Itay Best In Jump. Hod Ray has the edge on all comers In the broad jump. He made the highest mark in the inter-fraternity and indoor Inter-class meets, which were held some time ago. Ross, who has been doing good work, was in Jured In the final intra-mural basket ball game the last of last week, and Is not back to work yet. Packard, from Santa Ana Junior College, is doing fair work. Among the freshmen aspirants may be mentioned fa wan and Bullard, in the mile: Waite. In the high jump, and Powell, In the shot-put. These men may be taken to Portland to repre sent the pea-green class. Here are precisely the same styles that are shown in the more expensive weaves workmanship that you'll say is first class in every way. I do not believe so good clothes as these can be found elsewhere at the same prices assuredly they are not excelled. Men's Hats for Spring Morrison at TomthO tP fC -y Jr.-? 4: .

PENALTIES BILL DEFEATED Senate Rejects Measure Proposing Restriction on Strikes. conscious. As he was being drawn to the deck with one of the repairers in his arms he lost his hold. Firemen were summoned to recoven the three bodies. "WASHIXGTON, April 11. The con ference repont on the bill providing severe penalties for destruction or in terference with production of essential war materials, containing the clause giving workmen the right to strike for betten wages or working conditions, was rejected today by the Senate, S4 to 25. The vote will cause the House to neconsider the bill. The Senate's op position was directed solely to the clause providing that the bill should not restrict workmen from striking. Many Senators who objected to the provision regarded today's vote as a rebuke to workmen who have struck at shipyards and factories engaged on war work. Senator Overman, of North Carolina, who had charge of the measure, de clared yesterday that should the "Sen te defeat the conference report be cause or tne labor clause, me enure legislation would die."

Pedestrians Rellglanaly Dodge Lad ders an Downtown Streets. THE 1 var fetich of superstition, with its rlous forms and varieties, seems to have a tight hold on the American people, taking it by and large. Many dire things are sure to happen. For Instance. If a black cat passes one's path ahead, or If one sees several titlan-naired women and white horses in the course of a day. or but the list is too long for passing mention. But. It Is the ladder resting against the wall of a building that gets the veritable goat of the American, so to speak. Did you ever walk along a street in the business district and watch pedestrians artfully dodged the ladder? If you want novel amusement, you will f nd it a-plenty. Here's the experience Captain Harms. of the traffic division, bad the other day: He found three ladders elevated against sides of buildings In the down tewn district. At one point be watched pedestrians pass by for a period of five minutes. He counted more than 100 persons coming and going. Of this number between 70 and SO abrupt ly stopped when they reached the lad der and walked around at a safe dis tance from it. Others either ducked swiftly under tne ladder or were so ergrossed on some subject In mind that they did not seem to notice the ladder. Three of th pedestrians actually stepped off the curbing to evade the atmosphere of ill luck, but, in doing so. they came near being run over by passing automobiles. "It's a funny world." was tbe cap tain' Laconic comment. Lecture on Slant Is Tonight. - loo, loffiinrly a member of iba Suprtw I society. Clarence Steele. In charge of the Boon Memorial tn Bangkok.

MAYORS' VIEVJS DIVERSE Portland's Executive Favors City Concerts; Seattle's Head Opposes. In the matter of park band concerts Mayor Baker, of Portland, has taken a stand opposite to that of Mayor Han son, of Seattle. The Seattle executive has ruled against free concerts as a measure of economy. Mayor Baker yes terday ruled in favor of the concerts in Portland as a matter of patriotism and diversion, both of which he says are especially essential at this time. Mayor Baker says the programmes next Summer will be confined largely to patriotic music He holds that with the anxiety of people over the war con ditlons, music in the parks in the even ings is more needed now than ever be fore. "We can better economize on something else," he says. TEUTONS SINK MINNETONKA Big British Steamer Sent to Bottom in Mediterranean. NEW YORK, April 11.
