This Inference Is based on the aggressiveness of the supporters of Judge Will R. King. Mr. West's oppo nent for the nomination. To King's friends the announcement f West's candidacy was not much of a surprise. Tbey had strongly suspected that the ex-overnor had Senatorial aspirations for some time before, and had outlined a campaign for King In anticipation of Wests entrance into the contest. Furthermore. Judge King has let It be known that he will manage to get away from his duties at Wash' Ington and corns to Oregon about May 1 and apply the finishing touches to the campaign his supporters have out lined.
