THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND; APRIL 23, 1915. MR LISTER MAY RON FOR SENATE Disaffection Among Washing ton Republicans Thought Democratic Opportunity. HIGH POST EYED BY MANY Sir. Pol ml ester's Road Back to Capi tal Regarded as Beset by Ob stacles, of Which Ole Han- eon is by jno Aicans ieasi. - OLYMPIA, Wash., April 24. (Spe cial.) That Governor Lister may take advantage of seeming disaffection In Republican ranks to become the Demo cratic candidate for. United States Senator next year Is the -report that has been repeated about the capltol this week, since Senator Poindexter has renounced the Progressive party and announced his candidacy for re-election as a Republican. Ever since Senator Poindexter's return to the Republican fold was tore, casted It has been evident that his candidacy for re-election would be re ceived with anything but enthusiasm by Republican party leaders generally. In spite ot opposition from the organi sation, however, it Is apparent that Mr. Poindexter can count on the sup port of a considerable number of voters of Independent leanings, es pecially In Kastern Washington. Thus whether he should be nominated or defeated In the Republican primaries, the Democrats see strong chances of a division In party's ranks. Retirement Is Dented This situation Is the cause of the talk of Governor Lister as the Demo cratic candidate for Senator. It has been generally assumed that the Gov ernor would be a candidate for re election, and should his ambition run along this line, It is reasonably certain that he would be given the party nomi nation without opposition. During the legislative session the story was spread broadcast that the executive would Keek no further political honors, but would retire to private life at the end of his present term. The Governor, however, has made it plain to his friends that this story was originated by his political opponents, and that he has by no means made up his own mind as to hia future' course. That Governor Lister could obtain the nomination of his party for the Senate without a fight is not certain. Ex Senator Turner, of Spokane, narrowly defeated by second choice votes for the nomination last year, served notice im mediately thereafter that he was in the race for Mr. Poindexter's seat, and there has been much talk of S. J. Chad wick, judge of the Supreme Court, though Judge Chad wick is not yet cer tain of hia own course. Governorship Una Rearing. Whether Governor Lister finally gets Into the Senatorial scramble probably, will depend largely upon whether the' Democrats can find a strong candidate for Governor. One story has It that David S. Troy, ex-State Senator,- of Jefferson County, was to be taken into the state administration as Commis sioner of Agriculture and incidentally as a possible candidate for Governor. Mr. Troy's business associates objected to his giving up his connection, how ever, and he declined the position prof fered by the Governor. At the present time not one of the Governor's ap pointees appears to have developed suf ficient individual strength to make him a suitable candidate for executive, and if a strong candidate is to be found he probably will have to oome from out side the Statehouse. What Ole Hanson, of Seattle, will do Is another question that lias been in teresting politicians since Mr. Poin dexter's announcement of his own can didacy was made. Ideas differ as to details of Mr. Hanson's probable ac tivities, but political observers are unanimous In believing that the course the Seattle man will take will be what ever he decides will Inconvenience Mr. Poindexter most. When Mr. Hanson was putting up a capable fight for Senator last year on the Progressive tioket. Senator Poindexter was actively campaigning for the same ticket, but In other states. He drifted into Spo kane a day or-two after the election and has never explained bis disregard of the Washington fight to the satis faction of Hanson supporters. Possible Contender Mentioned. W. E. Humphrey, dean of the Wash ington delegation in the lower house ot Congress, and ex-Governor McBride are the men most mentioned as candidates of the regular Republican wing for the Senatorial nomination next year, but it is well within the bounds of pos sibility that Mr. Hanson might enter the race himself. If for no other reason than to destroy Mr. Poindexter's chances. While In Washington for the next few months. Senator Poindexter will make efforts to lead remaining Pro gressives back Into the Republican jarty to support him at the primaries in September, 1916. While Eastern Washington Progressives generally are expected to follow this course, the Bull Moose of the coast counties have not yet made up their minds. Feeling still exists on the part of Progressives who were members of the last Legisla ture against the Republican majority, and Senator Poindexter apparently has Inflamed rather than allayed this irri tation by denouncing the Legislature as reactionary, at the same time that he announced his renewed espousal of Republicanism. 18 OF 27 IN CLASS TEAGH RLItAL DISTRICTS SEEK MANY NOR MAL SCHOOL GRADUATES, Kumeroua Members Sign Contracts Be fore Receiving; Their Diploma.

Co. to Remain In Business In all seriousness we announced, some time ago, our intention to close out our business, this owing to the uncertainty of conditions existing at the time, to-wit: The sale of the property and the disposal of the lease of our old location, and lack of suitable new quarters available, uncertain business conditions, etc That we have changed our minds is to no little extent due to our friends and customers, who have steadily encouraged us to continue to serve them in our line as of old. A substantial portion of our stock yet unsold, and the general iip-trend of the business outlook, the unexpected opportunity of obtaining new quarters within one block and a half of our former store and at a rental far below it, are a few of the many reasons which, we believe, warrant our remaining in business.

BljT PRUNES APPEAR SHORT. - J. O. Holt Also Thinks Fewer Cherries Indicated Thun Recently Expla nation Dropping; Given. EUGENE. Or., April 24. (Special.) Lane County fruit has passed the frost period without Injury and only freeze can 'Injure It now, according? to J. O. Holt, manager of the ugen Fruit growers' Association, who ha -completed' a brief survey of the county's fruit in an effort to estimate the crops. He finds, however, a shortage In prunes in comparison to indications two weeks agro, and a sligrht shortage in cherries through parts of the county, though In neither case as serious as last year. Reports from Salem indi cate similar conditions and reports from California Indicate a marked shortage of prunes all over the Coast, which means. It is believed, there will be a marked rise in prices 'shortly. The price is low at present. Neither the Lane prune nor cherry crop is below the average, he says Mr. Holt has a new theory to explain the apparent mysterious dropping of the small fruit, which takes' place some years more heavily than .in oth ers. He believes that the orchards are showing a lack o fertilization.' "When an orchard tract has raised a crop of trees, It has done a pretty good job to begin with," said Mr. Holt. "But when it comes to putting out a crop of fruit year after year, without. any rertlllzeT, it leaves the trees too weak, to stand off disease. As they grow old they get debilitated and they take every disease that comes along. "This is but a theory, but I believe that It will be worth while considering. It is just the same as with any other crop; the ground must be fertilized." GUARDSMEN TO TAKE PART Centralia Company Will Help Enter tain Convention Visitors. CENTRALIA. Wash.. April 24. (Spe cial.)
