for the Republican nomination for the..
"short term" United States sehatorshlp.
according to announcement made by him.

was attempting to meet the. situation
suggested by the attorney general, and
that it had been his idea that the gov

the ..long term, the winner of the short
term election resigning in order that
this could be done. Mr. Schnabel says,
hnusvpr. that, having announced his
! candidacy he does not feel Justified in
withdrawing because of the entrance or

candidate, has been nominated by the

James Thompson, La Follette candidate,
of approximately 6000.
Efforts have been made, said to have
originated in Democratic sources be
hind Joseph Davtes, Democratic nomi
nee, to -cause Lenroot to withdraw, on
the theory that the loyalist vote will be
spilt April 2 between Lenroot and Davis,
and that Victor Berger, Socialistmight
be thereby elected.
Lenroot today, without qualification,
declared that he will not withdraw, that
he expects to be elected, and that his
campaign opens at Madison, Wis., Fri
day. With figures in from each of the 71
counties, including all of the cities and
complete for 50 of the counties, the
Tuesday primary results now show these
figures :

vies 54,173. Charles McCarthy (Davies'
Democratic opponent) 13.262, Berger 36.
645. These tabulations cover a total of

APPARATUS
Construction of concrete Bhlps for use
In war emergency transportation will
become a new industry in Portland, if
plans now being tested out by the fed
eral government materialize. Thus far
the government has not let any con
tracts for the concrete ships on its own
account, according to W. D. B. Dodson.
executive secretary of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce.
In four yards of the country there are
now building concrete vessels Jointly by
the government and private owners. It
Is said. The government Is furnishing
half of the money necessary to meet
the expenses of the work. When the
new type of ocean going ship shall have
demonstrated, Ita; fltnesa, th"?Jnlted
States shipping board will, it" Is be
lieved, let contracts for a number of
the vessel a '
Portland builders stand ready to take
up the new work the moment It is au
thorized, it is said. The conditions In
this city are favorable to the building
of the concrete ships because of the new
kind of filler which can be obtained
from Willamette valley points. This
filler, according to experts, has the
necessary lightness and tensile strength.

Wisconsin Political Battleground
Washington. March 21. (I. N". S.)
With Representative Irvine L. Lenroot
as the Republican nominee for United
States senator in Wisconsin practically
atssured today, the Republican and
Democratic machines were being oiled
up for the first, partisan fight of the
wa.- itriod.
Bctb Lenroot and Josepn E. Davies,
his Democratic opponent, declare that
under no circumstances will they with
draw from the race. President Wilson
already has espoused the cause of Da
vies. Essentially there Is no real issue
between them. This centers attention
o:i what support Berger will draw from
tl.t rival camps.
Officials here will watch the situation
very closely. Party lines are certain
to disappear In the present fight, offi
cials say, and from now until the polls
close speakers of national reputation
from all over the country will concen
trate on Wisconsin.

Circuit Judge Morrow Rules
Suit, but Court En Banc
to Hear Argument.
in
That the Portland city council evaded
charter provisions when It awarded a
contract lease to the American LaFrance
Klre Engine company for the purchase
of six automobile fire trucks at a price
of $58,000 was decided this morning by
Presiding Judge Morrow when he over
ruled a demurrer filed by the city to l
the complaint of Mrs. M. H. Gregg a
taxpayer, who brought suit to enjoin
the city from purchsing the trucks.
Judge Morrow announced, at the re
quest of Deputy City Attorney Tomlin-
son, that a rehearing would be granted
for further argument before the six cir
cuit judges sitting en banc. The bid of
the American LaFrance company was
the lowest of several submitted, but
after 'the bid was accepted the council
agreed to changes In the type of ma
chines. Including elimination of self-
starters, which lessened the cost, but
the other manufacturers were not per
mitted to submit bids for machines
without. self-starters, she alleged.
The agreement to pay the federal war
tax was also attacked, it being alleged
that other firms submitting bids took
Into consideration this war tax in sub
mitting their bids.
The council, it was brought out. had
entered into a lease for two years, at
an aggregate rental of $29,400, with an
option for purchase of the machines by
payment of $29,400 additional.

anese residents of Portland . who have
