providing that citizens of the state

tlioy are legal icsideuts on the full
amount of their personally.

BOURNE WILLING
, TO BE CANDIDATE
IF HE IS WANTED
PORTLAND. Or., ' Feb. 3.
Whether Jonathan llounio will enter
the lists us a candidate tor tho re
publican nomination for United States
senator is still an open question, ntul
the answer depends upon tho atti
tude of the x titers of the state, ac
cording to a letter today received by
C. W. Hudson, Honriie was senator
from Oregon for one term ending
March 3, HH3.
lloiirtic in tlio letter says: "I
should like to return to tlio senate.
I enjoy the work and feel that the
seven years' exnorienoo 1 bine hnd
in national constructive work gives
mo better (nullifications for accom
plishment than unv now man can
possibly present."
'If these facts were known to tho
people 1 urn sure there would bo a
Audi crystallised demand, by a largo
majority, that 1 should again serve
as one of their national public ser
vants; but with the lack of informa
tion on the part of the people, duo
lo tho enmity of a considerable por
tion of the stale press in tlio past,
it is difficult for me to judge of tho
people's wishes in tlio premises.
Ilenee, in aecoiduueo witli your sug
gestion, you are at liberty to give
this opportunity to such of the newspapers-
as are willing to print Ill's
letter, in older that a belter expres
sion of tho will of the people may
be seemed, in case the reudersj, after
perusal, indicate to me their desire
that I should rim,"
