GEAIUN MAT ENTER THE RACE
Democrat's Return From California
Awaited to Learn Decision.
It is considered probable that John
M. Geartn. ex-Cnlted States Senator,
may announce nia intention to sees:
Efforts of the Democratic party will
bo largely cantered this year on th se
lection of a strong list of candidates
for th State Legislature, if tha lnten
tlons of some of the party leaders are
carried out. They plan to obtain th
most prominent and Influential Demo
crats possible and pledge them to state
ment No. 1, which require them to
vote for th United States Senator who
receive th biggest vote at the g
oral election.
Soma of tha party intentions war
divulged yesterday by Bert E. Haney,
chairman of tha Democratic state cen
tral committee.
I don't know that you could say we
are going to center our efforts on tha
Legislature," said Mr. Haney, "but we
Intend to be careful In our selection
of candidate. It la said that In th
past we have not selected our strongest
men and have not pledged them to
statement No. 1, and for that reason
many people would not vote for them
because of the danger of the United
States Senatorship going to a person
who was not the people's1 choice at th
election. We hope to overcome this
condition this year. W are also going
to work hard for a mora complete
ticket than heretofore. .We hope to
have candidates 'n th field for nearly
all the positions. While we probably
will not have candidates for all, we will
nav more than w did at th last
election."
Headquarters of the Taft commit
tee will be opened tomorrow morning
on the fifth floor of the Selling build
ing and an active campaign will be
started at once. Clark H. Williams,
who has been chosen publicity manager
of the committee, has made prelimin
ary arrangements for th extensive ad
vertising campaign, and others are ar
ranging tha details of th public meet
ings which are to ba held throughout
the county.
C H. Skewes, who has announced
his intention of running for Coroner,
has filed his notice of Intention. He
promises to conduct his office In a
painstaking and careful manner.
"If the office la worth having it is
worth attending to In an exacting man
ner, aays Mr. Skewes In his notice.
Ther ara many Improvements which
ran be mad In the offloe and I Intend
to do my best to bring them about. I
pledge myself to honesty, diligence and
carefulness in performing; th duties

Contrary to expectations, no more
candidates entered th field last week
for County Commissioner. Campaign
ing Is being carried on lively by all
candidates. excepting Commissioner
Llghtner, who haa announced th pol
icy of "no active campaign." de
clares he will let his record of two
terms aa Commissioner do his talking

Without this last tne others go for naught. Indeed, with the great soul
of the Chickering inspiring brain and fingers, musical interpretations that
otherwise would not rise abovs the mediocre oft-times attain the heights
of sublime accomplishment.
Much of tha abiding love for this instrument, manifest through genera

HE PROUDEST NAME In the American musical Instrument trade
Is Chickering. Chickering was the great name representing the
Nation's proudest achievement almost a generation before any
other make now before the public appeared in the piano world.
Since the very early primitive days it bas been the ideal of the makers
of the Chickering to make an instrument representing- the ery acme of
perfection.
Th voice of the Chickering is the voice of genius thi-t quality of
genius which took up wood and glue and garnish and from them
brought the Stradivarlus that genius which, heard in a multitude, rises
sentient and supreme above all other sounds.
THE CHICKERING h-- been ennobled singularly, individually, by
brilliant geniures whe endowed it with a literature as characteristic
as that of any nation.
Being a piano of genius, it runs the full gamut of human sentiment.
Every errant gale of passion every vagrp-it pain and happiness storms
upon Its strings. In the clanging Wagnerian dissonances Its voice car
ries the warning cry of the very spirits of life, then changes instantly
to the Ineffable tenderness of a girl's song.
Under the magio of Chopin the march of old Poland's vanishing
legions thud anew upon its strings. Its voice is the voice of weary and
doomed armies thundering through the tragic measures of the Polonaise.
TONES OF THIS GREAT PIANO may be bleak as the knell of doom
or blithe as the sunlight through leaves. They may sway multitudes or,
placid and well-beloved, sooth to rest in the tranquillity of home.
A Trinity of Genius
Within ti. Chickering converge the three elements of genius essen
tial to perfect music genius of the composer, of the performer and of
the piano itself. '

less than 15 minutes from the business center, for $850 and up, on liberal terms.
. If you are contemplating buying and building this Spring, take a day off
and investigate prices of the high-grade residence properties in the city and
you will find that Laurelhurst is the lowest priced of them all, in spite of the
fact that it is conceded to be the best improved and altogether the most desir
able residence tract in Portland.
That this is true is shown from the fact that during all of last Summer and
Fall, when the Portland realty market was quiet, Laurelhurst was by far the
most active residence property in the city. We sold hundreds of lots, during
that period, to home-builders, and we are selling them now.
One of the reasons for this activity in Laurelhurst is the attractive builders'
discount which has been in effect for the past year and which saved every man
that built a home in the tract from $150 to $300. This discount is going to be
discontinued soon, and the list price on all lots restored.
Laurelhurst is too low in price when compared with the same high-grade
properties in other sections of the city. The next move in Laurelhurst values
will be a horizontal increase in prices, covering every unsold lot in the tract.
