Ben Selling confirmed th political
- prophets and announced himself can
didate for the Republican nomlnatloo
for United States senator yesterday af-
- ternoon. Hla decision to enter the arena
has been regarded as certain Since Aha
declaration of C W. Fulton on, Monday
. that he will stay out " - :
Mr. Selling will retire from the chair
manship of the Taft campaign com
mittee, which he has held since that or
ganization came Into being, and Will,
In a few days, frame hU declaration of
principles. He declares he Is con
vinced froni the assurances of support
lie has received that he will be the Re
publican nominee over Jonathan Bourne,
Stephen A. Xowell and J. W. Morton,
who have i previously riled as candld
ates. v ',
.' .Before making Ills announcement Mr.
'Selling conducted probably the most ex
tensive "pulse feellnjf"'- plan ever . car
ried out In Oregon, sending a letter to
rscli ' registered voter' In the state," In
vltln; an expression of opinion as to
his becoming a candidate. To these let
ters he has received about 12.000 repll.-s,'
In a large majorlty-of which there are
expressions adverse to Senator Bourne.
I'pon his record as a progressive, gu
a business man, and. as one who has
slven liberally in time and -money to
the advancement ' the best -Interests
ot OregoiCtrelUng--wllJ-!vage-Wsi
campaign, 'Hislong residence In, the
''ate and ' Intimate acquaintance with
its needs will be pointed out In contrast
to Bourne. Complaint of Bourne as a
"non-resident' and "non-taxpayer" Is a
frequent subject in the mass of letters
received by Selling.;
The present year ends four years of
service by Mr. Selling as state senator,
an office which he once before held. In
J 90S he led the Statement No. 1 ticket
in Multnomah county In tne popular
vote. He was chosen president of th
senate at the last session and was gov
ernor of Oregon for a day before the
inauguration of Governor West.
As a tnembe of the People's Power
league Selling has been active, in pro
moting the adoption of direct 'leglsla-
Iton. and he has tinheM fhu.
as a member of the legislature. He will
open headquarters in a short time, prob
ably in the; gelling building, and will
make an active fight for-the nomina
tion. , .... .
"I will beat Bourne. he says. "I am
as confident-of that as I am of any
thing that has not actually happened."
