W. C. Hawley, Incumbent since 1907. On the democratic side of the political fence came William Del sell who also will seek if nomin ated, to defeat Mr. HiKrley. Down in Portland a delegation from Washington county, headed by William G. Hare, former state senator and well-known attorney, betook itself to Portland and in terceded with Colonel A. E. Clark to file for the republican nomin ation for United States senator. With Hare's contingent went dele gations from several other coun ties. To each of these formal actions attaches some especial political significance.

Mills, Albany traffic pa trolman, was shot with his own sun todav by one ot two un identified men in an automobile he had stopped because It had improper headlights.

The men escaped toward Salem in the car which, investigation revealed, had been stolen from O r y i 1 1 e Lowell, Harrlsburg farmer. State police last night ex pressed the opinion that the two men who escaped early Saturday moraine from Officer J. K. Mills 0f Albany, were probably hiding in the Salem vicinity. They based their opinion on the fact that the Oakland sedan car stolen from Orvllle Lowell, Harrlsburg farmer, was discov ered on Front and Division streets here Saturday morning. State police held the view that the two unidentified men were the same parties who Friday night stole a Buick sedan from a Mr. Dye on North Church street and went as far as Harrlsburg with the auto where they became stuck on a bad road. They aban doned the Dye car there and in the officers' opinion then stole Lowell's car and came north to Albany where they were stopped After the shooting of Mills the men are thought to have pro ceeded on to Salem and aban doned their car.
