6 TTTE STJXDAT OREGONTA!C, TOIT1T.AXD. MARCIT TO, W22 3 JUDGES OPPOSED IN MAY PRIMARIES Kavanaugn, u at ens ana Evans Face Contest. sTWO HAVE QLEAR FIELD ICncker and Tazwell Seem Alone in Desire to Preside in Respec tive Departments. Indications point to lively politi cal battle for places on the circu't bench of Multnomah county at the forthcoming reDUDlican primaries in Mav. with almost a certainty that t-ontests will be staged against J. P- Kavanaugh, department No. 1; W. N. Gatens, department No. 5, and Walter H. Evans, department No. 6. Just bow there aDoears to be no such a ituation regarding Robert Tucker, department No. 3. and George W. Taz well. department No. 7. All of these face expiring terms end all. it was understood, will be candidates to suc ceed themselves. There is talk in political circles and it is, incidentally, not denied by those ; mentioned, that Leslie E. Crouch, Portland lawyer, "will be a candidate for the position held by Judge Kava naugh; that Martin W. Hawkins, a district judge, , will run for Judge Evans' place, and that J. N. Hart, ex district attorney of Baker county, ex superintendent of schools of Polk county and ex-member of the Oregon legislature, now practicing law in Portland, will seek Judge Gatens' job. Mr. Crouch Undecided. Mr. Crouch said yesterday that he had not definitely decided what he would do about the proposal that he make the race for circuit judge, but said he had been asked to run and might do so. Judge Hawkins had about the same answer to give when asked about it, while Mr. Hart frankly stated that it is his intention to be a candidate for the circuit bench, but that he does not know just whose place he will seek. Another possibility is that George Roasman, municipal judge for the 1 past five years, will run for the cir cuit bench. He has been asked to be a candidate, he admitted yesterday, but eaid he has not decided what is best to do. "I realize," said Judge Rossman, "that it would be an iionor to be a circuit Judge, and I am not lightly turning down those who have spoken to me about running. However, my present place is one in which a man can do a great deal of good in a con structive way, and I would think 'twice before relinquishing it." James N. Davis of Portland has filed his candidacy for the circuit bench of Multnomah county at Salem and is therefore a formal candidate. Myers to Be Candidate. Stanley Myers, district attorney, will of necessity run for the position he now holds and to which he was annninfpd several months afiro hv Governor Olcott when changes were brought about by the resignation of C. A. Johns, a justice of the Oregon supreme court, who was named a. jus tice of the supreme court of the Phil ippines by President Harding. John MeCourt was promoted from the cir cult bench of Multnomah county and Mr. Evans, district attorney, was pro moted to the bench by the governor. It had been thought that perhaps Mr. Myers' tenure would be for the full unexpired term of Mr. Evans, which. would have carried over for -two more years without making the race for election, but developments proved this not to be the case. Hence he will be a candidate. Thus far there is no opposition,, at least not suffi ciently developed to be definite. There will also be a lively race for county commissioners, two. terms ex piring. Ralph W. Hoyt and Rufus C. , Holman, incumbents, will run, and they will be opposed by Dow V. Walker, prominent in the American Legion, formerly manager of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club and now engaged in business in Portland, and possibly by J. H.: Rankin, mer chant, and Robert A. Sawyer. Mr Walker is formally in the race, and Mr. Rankin is giving it serious con sideration, he said yesterday. Other" are being discussed. In charge of the district of Oregon, recommended that the order be sus pended as applying to the Astoria of fice, as there is but one inspector here. He has received official notice that his recommendation has been approved. . DRUNK PIGS RUSH OWNER Moonshine Mash Fed to Hogs Kills One and Inebriates Others. HALFWAY, Or., March IS. (Spe cial.)
