THE MORNIXG OREGONIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1920
IHHH
List Sounds Like Roll Call of
Oregon's Upper House.
SOME MUST RUN AGAIN
MANY SENATORS ARE
THROE
ASPIRANTS
Con lest
Xow
for Presidency of Bodj
Seems to Lie Between
Ritner and Banks.
Most of tlie members of the legis
lature want to be candidates for rer
election in the May primaries, judg
ing from the gossip of the legisla
tors who are still in Portland while
on their way home from the ex
traordinary session. At 'the present
writing, there are seven candidates
for president of the senate.
The list of aspirants, which sounds
like a rollcall of the senate, consists
of both the Smiths, J. C. of Josephine
and Ira S. of Coos and Curry; W. W.
Banks of Multnomah, R. W. Ritner
of Umatilla, 1. L. Patterson of Polk,
B. L. Eddy ot Douglas and Louis
Lachmund of Marion. .During the reg
ular session, Julien Hurley hinted that
he would be a candidate, but yester
day he declared he doesn't aspire
to the throne and will concern himself
with being returned to the senate.
'Of course." admitted Senator Hur
ley, "if there is a big scramble. I
might pop into the race for presi
dent." Senator Ira S. Smith's term has
expired, so he will have to get the
nomination and be elected before he
can be a contender for the presidency.
Dr. Smith of Grants Pass is in the
same kind of a boat and so Is Sena
tor Eddy, so that three of the pros
pective candidates must race in the
primaries and finals before they can
get into action in the senate.
It is said that Senator W. T. Vinton,
the outgoing president, will support
the Eddy candidacy. Senator Eber
hard of Union county opined that all
the eastern Oregon senators will con
solidate their support for Senator
Ritner. Senator Lachmund and Sen
ator Patterson, who live so close to
gether, although in different counties,
that only the Willamette river sepa
rates them, each expects to draw on
the Willamette valley for support, and
Senator Banks does not intend over
looking any bets in that direction
himself. The shape-up of the contest,
at this time, appears to be between
Ritner and Banks, who are close per
sonal friendsl
Representative Cyril Biownell and
K. P. Dodd, who have the Umatilla
district, are willing to run again.
Each has served a term and they con
tend that, having had their eye-teeth
cut, they will be more valuable in a
second term than even in the first.
Harvey Cross of Clackamas is non
committal, but a delegation has called
on him and suggested that he run
for the uncompleted term of the late
Walter Dlmick in the senate. Oeorge
C. Brownell, Chris Scheubel and Grant
Dimick are also talked of tor this
vacancy. E. E. Brodie, who decided
not to be- a candidate for secretary of
. state, is expected to be a candidate
for the legislature from Clackamas,
probably for the house.
Louis Bean will run for the house
from Lane county, and if elected he
will be a candidate for speaker, ac-
cording to rumors. Whether C. H.
Brand or Roy Griggs of Douglas will
come back is not certain, as there is
some talk of new candidates for their
jobs.
Dr. W. D. Wood, who has been in
the senate for about 1- years, is sus
pected of being on the verge of an
nouncing himself for secretary of
state. Eyeing this prospective va
cancy E. W. Haines and William Hare,
both of Washington, are expected to
make a try in the primaries, although
some legislators figure that Hare and
Haines will come to an understand
ing and that only one. will go for the
senatorial nomination.
Four counties are in the district
represented by Senator T. B. Hand
ley. From three of these counties
Senator Handley has already received
requests to run to succeed himself.
W. N. Dennis, representing Yamhill,
has made no decision. He gained the
reputation of being the most consci
entious worker in the house as chair
man of the committee on roads and
highways. L. M. Graham of Wash
ington will be a candidate in the pri
maries. Denton Burdick will run again.
There are two prospective contenders
for his seat, one from Klamath Falls
and the other from Bend. Mr. Burdick
Coming from Redmond.
With the governor placing a veto
n the straight-ticket bill. Walter M.
Pierce is considered as a candidate
to succeed himself in the senate, al
though A. R. Hunter, democrat, from
Island City, has been urged to go
after the senatorial nomination. As
B. F. Jones of Lincoln is a candidate
for secretary of state, someone else
will be running for representative of
that county.

"amply provided with funds to con
tinue the work."

By making a Will you can appoint a Trust Com
pany or Bank having Trust powers as your
Executor or Trustee.
You can thus assure to your heirs the business
management and financial responsibility which
these institutions afford.
Your wishes can be observed in the distribution
of your property, for if you do not leave a Will
the Law may divide up your possessions in a way
that you might not desire.
