W. Haines f'Waahlngton county. Such la the atory floating on tha breese of pottrtcat gossTp todsy. . For ' soma time It haa. been horse and horse, as the gamblers say, between Mr. Hodaon and Jack ' Matthews hla eurreptttioua manager on the ene hand. and Mr. Hatasw-ew tha other. -"Kach candidate in turn has claimed the bet ter of the contest and haa. expreesed confidence In his ability to win.' But of lata tha Hodaon foixea, which are said to desire .the organisation.: more than the man, have. been', showing - a tendency to take tha measure of possi ble candidates presumably; for matter of Insurance against swy unforsoon cou tlngency. ; Whaaldoa la Mamtion, -'. With the idea of new timber in mind. It Is said that Senator Whealdon of Tha Dalles, a tentative candidate, .." wo a sought out st Tha Dalles and the mat ter laid before him. Senator Whealdon himself, however, makes denial that he has been or Is making any combinations or playing; any politics.- Ha says that ba thinks no man's motive ahould be conjectured because he greets ene man pleasantly or engages, another la con. versa tlon. He is acquainted with both Mr. Matthews and Senator Hodaon and also with Senstor Halnea, but. be says, there la no . reason, why he ahould be lined vp on either the one side or the other because he associates with them In a hotel lobby. In diaeuaatng the question ho argues that he la - not prophet and cannot fere tell - coming events, which may ba .Interpreted meaning that be does not at this time know whether he will support his old friend Haines or join In with the forces under the banner- of - Senator Hodaon, or support some new candidate yet to bo named, -i Others Oa the Ust, Jay Bowerman of Gilliam, Sherman and Wheeler counties, J. A. Layeock- of Crook, Grant. fcJamath and Lake, and Peter McDonald of Union and Wallowa are the three senators who are being brought into the spot light by the re ported change -of program on tha part of ths Hod son forces. All three are men who have been one aeaaton In the senate and are versed In ths ways of conducting a legislative body. All three are bound together by ties of political friendship and could bring some sup port from the Moody camp. It Is not thought that tha managers of the Hod son campaign have as yet msda any deal with the eastern Oregon senators, or one of them, but they are looking In thtU direction. They are be ginning to think,' politicians aay, that Mr. Hod boil may. JDjtitaaMeta-iri against Mr. Halnea. Eastern Oregon has not had-the presi dency since T. C. . Taylor of Umatilla wielded tba gavel several sessions ago. The sertlon has moat important legisla tion which cot i Id be helped by having an eastern Oregon man la the chair. If Sena. ; Hodaon sees hla support is not strong enough to land the victory for himself personally the logical thing for htm and his managers to do "Would ba to unite In support of soma candidate who would share with them the bene fits to bs obtained through possession of the organisation. Thla la tha argu ment being maue and It would appear to be brought about by tha arowlnc opinion that all the Hod son forces In eight; or in prospect, are not sufficient to win ths day. While Senator Hodaon waa not la tha city thla morning, and therefor oould not be aeen. those who ara his friends hsvs said that the effort to unite on an eastern Oregon man, with the three nsmed ss first choice. Is being made. It la argued that the more does not of necessity mesa that .Senator Hod son Is out of the rsce. but that he will step out In favor of some one friendly to him and his followers when It he roines patent that ha cannot draw suf ficient votes ta himself to sleet.
