He has made no formal announcement but admits he is willing to be a candidate If there is a demand for his services and inasmuch as the local bar is satisfied It is probable that be will have no opposi tion. He is a Republican. , The only man of his political faith whose name has been mentioned for the office is Attor ney Homer I. Watts of Athena. The possibility of Tils entrance is considered remote. Will M. Peterson, chairman of the county Democratic . central commit tee, has been.- spoken of as the only logical candidate for Judge, but he has declared that be lias nonjudicial aspira tions. - . ,- ; . i- Mixed on Attorneyship. The district attorneyship presents a more complex situation. , Sam E. Van Vactor, of Heppner, Democrat, who was made prosecuting attorney by Governor Bowerman at the same time Phelps was promoted to the bench, would like to re main in office; but there la more doubt about his entrance than there la of any of the present office holders. It is the general opinion that Van Vactor is none too strong in Democratic circles. Nev ertheless, he has a strong personal fol lowing, especially In his home county and would probably be a formidable can didate. The Republicans win vote on two men for this office at the -wprU pri maries, James P. Neal, city attorney of Freewater, and Frederick Stelwer, weft known young attorney -of this city. Both have' announced their candidacy, Meal entering the race as a progressive and Stelwer as an advocate of efficient en forcement of the laws Irrespective of the class of violators. : ;. f - i . '. legislators for Reelection. . L. L. Mann of Pendleton and 8.. D. Peterson of Milton have filed their dec larations as candidates for the Republi can nomination as representatives from Umatilla county to succeed themselves. Mann is a big wheat farmer and has served "several terms In the legislature. Heretofore, he has been one of the faith ful of the "old guard," but in bis declara tion Just filed he has-so- far-aeeepted the new order of things as to ask that "Statement No. I" be printed after his name on the ballot. .. Peterson Is a law yer and during , his term in the lower house was a recognized progressive and Is asking for reelection on his record. i Already two other Republican candl-, torney J. T. Hinkle of ilermlston and Ro land Oliver of this city. Hinkle tried for the nomination two years ago at which time he was known as the "al falfa candidate" and this year he pledges himself to the promotion of Irrigation, thus making a plea for the support of the west end of the county. Oliver who is a young man but a pioneer resi dent of the county in that he is a na tive son, makes "Fewer laws and low er taxes' his battle cry. . ,; ' '.J..,..:i,l Baling tax Clerk.'- For county clerk, Frank Baling, who has held the office several terms, will probablr.l)ethe-first candidate- In the field as he has declared that he will have his petitions out by March 1. The only other man mentioned for the office Is Roy W. Rttner, a young farmer and for the past several sessions of the leg islature calendar clerk ot the senate.

In case he decides to retire,, which is considered very unlikely, Tom B. Gurdane, until the first of the year chief of police in this city, will doubt less take the field. Democrat for Assessor. . , C P. Strain, assessor, - is another Democrat who would be hard to beat He bas been In office many years, but takes the position that he will run again only upon the condition that there is a demand for a continuation of his serv ices. IIS Is regarded as an exceptionally capable and - public spirited " official. G. W. Bradley, who has been county treasurer for two terms, is looked- upon as : the probable Republican candidate, but it is expected that opposition will develop, ' - . . ... Welles Would Serve longer. Frank K. Welles, county school super intendent for eight years, is already looking! to h!s political fences and will ask for reelection by the, Kepuoncans. Thought he is regarded in some circles as a very progressive educator, be Is haracterlzed by many as an extrava gant office, holder and would probably have hard sledding if pitted against a worthy opponent However, the opposi tion bas sought in vain for a standard bearer, both Principal Nordhoff "of the Ferndale school- and Principal A.
