OKEUOMAX. PORTLAND, JANUARY 1912. EAGER CANDIDATES BETOKEN OT RAG E Hay and Lawrence Are Centra! Figures in Early Campaign in Washington. ECONOMY RECORD CITED Political Antagonist Questions Meth ods of Executive and Has Slight Advantage In Support of Vote of Woman Suffragist. OLTMTIA. Wash.. Jan. 10. (Special.) Although It Is eight mouths In advance of tha primaries for the g.neral elec tion, tha political campaign In Wash Ington mar ha aaJd to hav. fairly opened, and from now on candidates for tha vart.ua offices will be as busy as tha proverbial bea. h'nar In the history of tha stata has a campaign opened so actively at so early a data, and It bow seems safe to predict that the 1912 election will bo atended by ona of the hottest political battles the. state has known. Early Indications point to a guber natorial contest that will almost over shadow the National Issues. Although there probably will be at least five candidates file for the Republican nomination for Governor. political prognostlcators from all parts of tha state declare th fight haa simmered down to Lawrence and Hay. Condi tions are different this year than ever before, and the attitude of newspapers and the activity of various organisa tions seems to hava settled on these two candidates. Hay II el da Recer. Although Governor Hay has not made any formal announcement of the plat form on which he will make his cam paign. It la known that he will depend upon the policies that he has followed aa chief executive of the atata to cure the nomination. He will go before tha people with tha assertion that he has given the state aa economical administration and will point to such legislation aa the work men's compensation act and the publlo service commission law aa the con structive work of his administration. It la also probable that the question of a county unit local option law win enter into this campaign. It Is a mat ter of common knowledge that Govern or Hay worked for the present local option law. John C. Lawrence has already Indl cated that he will attack the claims made by Hay on - the question of economy. In his platform he nouncea that he favors the consolida tion of some of the state commissions and the elimination of others. He has also charged that the affairs of tha state are being extravagantly con ducted. Mr. Lawrence has clearly taken the position that It Is not the duty of the executive) to Interfere with the other branches of he state government, and that his views will be embodied in recommendations to the Legislature rather than by using tha office of Governor to fore tha enactment of any law. Governor Hay la at outs with tha In urgenta and will look largely to the old line Republicans for his strengtn. On the other hand. Mr. Lawrence will make his campaign as a "progressive." backed by the indorsement of United States Senator Fotndexter and the various progressive " Republican leagues of the state. In considering the question of tha women voters, it may ue said that at thla time Mr. Lawrence haa a alight ad vantage, although the suffrage bill was' signed by Governor Hay. This Is due to a mild controversy between the Gov ernor and some of the suffrage lead ers In tha state over a speech which Hay made In New York following the Sovernors convention. Case Boaaa Fades. Otto A. Case, auditor of King County, at tha outset entered the campaign for Governor on account of a personal grievance which he held against Hay. Case was one of the warring factors In the National Guard and when the shake-up occurred he saya he was bad ly used by Governor Hay. Aa be worked Into the preliminary campaign, how over, ha started a serious effort to se cure the "progressive" Republican sup port and might hava been successful only for the timely announcement of Lawrence. With this failure to land thla following the Case boomlet haa taken a sudden drop. Robert T. Hodge. Sheriff of King County, declares he will enter the race for the Oovernoshlp. but his name Is seldom mentioned seriously In connec tion with the fight. Orvllle bllllna-B. of Tacoma. has played the comedy part so far In thla political drama, llr. Billings recently announced himself as an old-fashioned Republican. He declared against all "progressive" legislation and against every kind and character of a state commission. Talk of a strong west-side candidate for the Republican nomination, which was general some time ago. Is now dead and even if another West-Side man should enter the race. Hay and Law rence are already so strongly en trenched that It la hardly probable It would effect the statua of the contest. Already there are two Democratic candidates In the field. These are E. C. Million, of Seattle, and Hugh C Todd, formerly of Whitman County, but now of Seattle. Geogra F. Cotterlll was until recent ly considered as the strong man of tha Eemocratia party for tha Gubernato rial nomination, but Cotterlll has en tered the race for tha Mayorship of Seattle, which t all Intents eliminates horn from consideration. The Seattle election, by the way. is playing another part In state politics. State Tax Commissioner Parish la also printing of 140.000 primary ballots. The i price will be not mora than It a thou- aand and not less than f 7 a thousand. ' I-ast year the printing cost the county 14.50 a thousand. The Legislature has : passed tha law providing that when there are five or mora candidates for an office, tha name of each shall lead tha ballot a proportionate number of times. The printers have agreed to arrange the bailota In aurh order that tha pur poses of the act will be carried out. but Clerk Fields Is still agitated aa to r.ow ho la going to arrange for equal prefer, ence for each candidate In each pre clnct. In a letter written to Attorney. General Crawford commenting on the difficulty the situation presents, espe cially In tha matter of tallying. Mr. Fields declares that be will endeavor to give each candidate a fair ahow by di viding the precincts among them. By thla method the name of one can dldate would lead on every ballot in one precinct and the name of a second candidate would be first on each ballot In a second precinct, and so on. To do otherwise would place great difficulty In tha way of the tallymen. Mr. Fields says, and It Is already difficult to get competent men to act as precinct elec tion officials.

Pioneer Botelkeeper Pasoea Away. MARSHFIELD, Or., Jan. 20. (Spe cial.) C W. Sanford. who died at tha North Bond Hospital, was a pioneer hotelkeeper of Coos Bay. having been proprietor of the old Western Hotel In this city years ago. Mr. Sanford waa a native of New Tork and a veteran of the Civil War and bad lived in and near Marshfleld most of the time for too past half century.

CHARITABLE SOCIETIES ACT Hundreds Called by Railway "Work oa Oregon Electric Discover Job Filled and Are- In Desti tute Circumstances. BALE. Or., Jan. JO. (Special.) Hundreds ef men out of employment are causing a serious suua-uen un with which Salem people are now en deavoring to cope. Tha condition -la due to an overeup- plted labor market, as heavy street contracts, construction work on tha Oregon Electrlo and other demands for labor called more men here In the ex pectation of securing work than needed. CwsmUMom Are it. died. Sal era charitable organisations and committees, taking cognisance of the situation, are beeomlnsr busy to meet the conditions which have arisen, prob- bly for (the first time In tha cltys history. At least It is admitted that never before has a situation of this kind been half ao serious. Local missions, the Salvation Army. church representatives and business men hava combined In an endeavor either to secure employment for the covertv-strlcken men or to assist In tiding them over the present aimcuuy. ine conditions oecame so acuie re cently that Salem contractors who are erecting buildings declared that all un married men must go and that prefer ence would he given to married men and those with families to support. One cause. It Is asserted, is the fact that the Oregon Electrlo called hun dreds of men to Salem who could not find employment, who were either sent here by employment agenclea with their expense paid or came through paying their way with thelrlast money. Unable to secure work, they found themselves stranded and without tha means to leave tha city. Free Laacaes Dlaappear. In a number of cases Salem saloons which have been furnishing more or less elaborate, fret lunches have cut them down to the minimum because they are patronized extensively by men with no money. Cheaper lodging-houses here, which offered beds for from IS cents to 26 cents, find that scores of men have applied for beds In the hope of secur ing them without price. Not only has the situation affected the men who have entered the city from the outside, but local laborers, who have heretofore been furnished ample employment, are walking the streets In an effort to se cure work, but without success. ANTNTR EATING LAW HIT Tacoma May Make Effort to Repeal Ordinance Tear Old. TACOMA. Wash., Jan. 20. (Special.) Effort to repeal Tacoma's an tl-treating law la likely to be made at the next city election, according to re ports given out today. The ordinance was approved by vote of the people -a year ago, and can only be repealed by the same process. An Initiative peti tion under the charter must be signed by S per cent of the number of voters who voted for Mayor at the last elec tion, which would mean only about 1200 slgnaturea. Tha plan of the op ponents of the freak law Is to get the Initiative petition through In time to hava the measure voted on when two new Commissioners are eleoted In April. To secure action on an ordinance at a special election, an Initiative petition would hava 20 per cent of names, but this will not be necessary for action at a general election. The antl-treatlng ordinance has been a bone of contention in city affairs ever since It was passed. fering Gray's pedal.

Frank Palmer, one of the seven prison, ers being held here, made a futile at tempt to break Jail yesterday. Palmer, who Is awaiting tha action of the Cir cuit Court grand Jury on a charge of larceny In a dwelling, waa kept In one of the aide corridors of the Jail. An electric light hangs directly over this corridor and by using the electrlo wires Palmer tried to burn off the Iron bars composing the top of the cage, i of what It should be. With the assistance of the Govern ment Bureau of Entomology, Henry Ireland, United States Forest Supervi sor from Sumpter, Is seeking a bug to catch a bug that Is destroying the pine forests In the' Blue Mountains and other Eastern Oregon districts, accord ing to an address which he delivered yesterday at the closing session of the foresters' Institute at the Carlton Ho tel. The insect which the supervisor is after Is mommonly called the bark borer. Although It annears In nearly all the forests of the state. It is kept down by natural checks In most localities and it Is only In the pine forests of East ern Oregon that It has become alarm ingly deatructlve. Mr. Ireland said that In one district Infested by the borers they had moved aouthward over a broad area '.or about 40 miles since 1907. destroyljg about 40 per cent of tha vellow nine timber they attacked. "Lodge pole" pine, not ao valuable for lumber, but an excellent pulp material, waa aw.Dt away as If by fire where the borers attacked It. Mr. Ireland hopes to find the natural Insect enemy of the borer, with the assistance of the Bureau of Entomology, and place it In the Eastern Oregon district which are Infested, and thus check the process of destruction. p a. lovelov. of Olympla, and B. P. Klrkland and A. E. Cohoon spoke on the reseedlng of burnt-over tracts to keep the timber areas constantly re stocked. J B. Knapp. chief of the bureau of forest products. In the Portland office, outlined before the foresters ols studies of mill efficiency In the state. Mr. Knapp said that be had found mills of equal capacity In which one em ployed twice as many men as another, because of the difference In the Instal lation of machinery. No systematic methods of mill equipment have been worked out in the state, he said, and consequently a large percentage oi In efficiency was to be found in many plants, which could be remedied by a easeful and economical Installation of machinery. Mr. Knapp purposea after he has finished his investigations to publish the results obtained for the benefit of the sawmill men of the state. Mr. Knapp also declared that Oregon had allowed its snlngle Industry and Its cedar manufacturing to fall lar snort In many cases ROADS IN PARK PROPOSED in. oniy ming n. accompiisned waa to blow out a fuse.
