J enough to refer are not to .be consid ered. If through your support I can become more potent iu accomplishing tfrose thing" --hleh mean lighter bur dens and greater happiness. :A a result of the announcement o your action, hundreds of unsolicited commnnicatkraa have coma to mjr desk directly and throunh you and many others. They have come from every county in the state: they include mem bers of every organ net political party a Orrsrcra. and represent generally the various classes and industries of the state. They Include tha playmates of childhood, the schoolmates or youth and the associate of a lifetime. The rl zied pioneers have not forgotten me, nhd many nea' citizens have bound me to them with sympathetic expressions f conndence. The women from differ vht sections of the state have Joined in logins; my acceptance. The number of townsmen who were participants in the demonstration has been multiplied taanyfold by others who have expressed fLproval of your action. aXy neighbors ..jr former homes, by personal repre sentatives sent and otherwise, have howered me with gracious compli ments and assurances that become at 4ice a fragrance and that must be a instant encouragement and abiding .strength." j "Let me emphasize, what to me is linst significant, that by all I have hj-en left absolutely untramnieled. In ihat none have made demand or re u'uest and none sre seeking benefits jve those that will be alike for alL j Party Madia. J "Vhiie my associations and belief l.ve and do bind me to tiie Republican jiirtjr. I muft be rree to find good any where, and by fair and honorable en deavor seek to resolve it Into law. "For the confluence thus manifested, 1 "desire now to express my deepest ap lireciation and gratitude, which are bounded only by the limitations of my mind. 31 y greatest concern, whether si home or elsewhere, is to serve all Worthily. J "I have said ever and over again, in response to these requests, that I have h.ad no plan nor desire to enter public life and I shall do myself the honor to believe that those wno know me have accepted the statement as sincere. But every attempt to evade has been met with renewed and more earnest solici tation. Nearly 96 pei' cent of the writ ten communications that have come tfiroiiRh all channels have been favor able to my candidacy, and a number of the unfavorable ones have been from pinnate trii-nds wno sougni 10 ac e personal discomrorl. "What I assumed was an unwarrant ed enthusiasm and thought would sub tle, has iipparently not abated. 5 "Because I owe it to you whom I am iiw addressing and to every citizen of tie state and to the Republican party, through whom I must serve, if at all, .m well as to relieve myself of the liental tension that has been produced, ljmust not longer ,delay answering you. Your actions and your statement that it is a public duty compel me to heed -ftmr request, and therefore I now be .fcnie a candidate. I do this conscious ol my inability to measure up to the Vdgh standard that you have set or to Attain the ideal that you have placed tfefora me. 6 Hare la Karaeirt. fin your petitions and in your com munications you have substantially rkad my platform, and I accept it with a3l heartiness. It is fair, however, to you and me and the Republican party as the channel through which I shall seek support to announca more def initely the principles through which I at a 11 appeal to the voters of Oregon. snd this I shall shortly do in a more 3rmal manner. ; "1 have tallered in my response to -4u, but I shall do so no longer. From tie signing of this communication my desire to succeed In the undertaking ytu have set before me and the earnest. imss with which I shall pursue it will increase day by day. Nor shall there bje uncertainty In my position In any putter of common concern. I shall strive unceasingly to promote the so 31 and Industrial welfare of all classes everywhere by the application of that intelligent morality that must become tti foundation of every stable gov ftfnment." j H.urr Backs Eaureac Mas.

J COLOMBIAN LEAVES II INCENSED PANAMA Confidential Agent Sails for . Home to Escape Populace " He Helped Exile. LOCAL FEELING IS TENSE Houses of Colombians Stoned aa Re. suit of Exchange Over Question Whether People Desire Tie turn to Old Fold. ' PAX AM A. Dec. 20. As a result of the anti-Colombia demonstration on Thursday, when several houses occu Died by Colombians were stoned, San- chex Ramirez, the confidential agent here of. the Colombia government. sailed for home today for reasons of safety. Senor Ramirez' departure was in no way urged by the Panaman gov ernment, which, on the contrary, o .fered him an armed guard until the temper of the :people had become calm er. - The Colombian agent decided, however, that his usefulness here was over. He made the trip te Colon with Ernesto Lefever, Minlstenof- Foreign Relations, and during his-atay there was guarded by policemen. The outburst against Colombians grew out of an article published in a newspaper at Barranqullla, Colombia, 'containing, among other statements, one that the people of Panama desired to return to the Colombian fold. A local partisan replied with a bitter ar ticle, which - in turn brought forth a statement from Colombia's confidential agent and It waa against him that pop ular indignation waa directed. It is thouaht probable that the Co lombian government will resent the in cident, which is considered unfortunate at this time in view of the negotia tions looking to a new tripartite treaty, treaty. The local administration was decid edly opposed to the demonstration Thursday night and a parade was per mitted only on the guarantee of re sponsible citlsena taking part that there would be no serious disturbances. PASTOR IS SANTA GLAUS VAXCOIVKR MINISTER, APPEARS IX STREET IX COSTUME. Rev. Mr. Row Leaaa Desires aad Be liefs of Little Ones And Finds Few Want Too Much. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Dec 20. (Spe cial.) Rev. Floyd A. Ross, pastor of the First Christian Church or tnis city, took the part of Santa Claua today for half a day. He took the part to learn the desires and beliefs of the children concerning Santa Claus. Mr. Ross was dressed in a full Santa Claus outfit, red suit, white stockings, trimmed with cotton batting, a mag nificent bunch of white whiskers, and topped off with a long, conical cap that drooped over his shoulder. As soon as he appeared on Main street, between Fifth and Sixth streets, he was surrounded by dozens of chil dren. He shook hands with them, whispered in their ear, and asked them what they wanted for Christmas. Strange to say, when the little ones imparted this information to Santa, their tastes did not usually go beyond reason, and they said they would be satisfied with three or four toys and candy and nuts. A number of Sunday school children wno troop around Mr. Ross at the Sunday meetings, were frightened when he offered to shake hands with them. Few learned who' Santa was, but probably Mr. Ross will make mention of it in his pulpit tomorrow. MAZAMAS PLAN SKI TRIP Osmon Itoyal Says Snow in Fine Condition for Sport.
