HALL'S CANDIDACY
BLOCKED BY LAW
That any independent candidacy for
Senator Hall, which was the obvious
.inference of the public statement Is
sued on his behalf by the Public De
fense league Wednesday afternoon,
would involve more, litigation is " evi
dent from' reading section JJ7S of the
session laws of 1919, which state "that
no candidate for. a nomination who
falls to receive the highest number of
votes for the nomination of the politi
cal party with which he was affiliated
at the time of filing his petition for
nomination, small be entitled to be the
candidate of any other political party,
or to become an independent candidate
at the ensuing election."
' Although some attorneys are of. the
opinion that this act- ;Woul4 not stand
the test of the courts, tit fact remains
that it$ Is the law . until the . supreme
court rules otherwise. ". . '
Development in the Republican go-
bernatortal recount are oererred until
next week when on Monday the case
will be reopened In the Marlon, coun
ty circuit court at Salem- At that
time it is expected that the Hall forces
will produce winessea In substantiation
of their charges of Illegal voting. Just
what will be accomplished .in this re
gard, of course, is problematical,' but
their whole case rests on these charge
In view of the discontinuance of the
