PORTLAND, Ore, April 27. (IP)
The OreRonian wll say tomorrow
that there is hrowing a far from
placid content In the democratic
primaries next year for the nomi
nation for governor. The latest
Information is that Klton Watkins
is being urged to go into the con
test against his former antagonist.
Bert K. Haney." Watkins admits
he is being pressed to make the
race, and has not made up his
mind, nut intimtues that if he
should seek the nomination the
campaign will be no "pink tea."
"The prospects are," the Ore
gonlan continues, "that there will
he three candidates running: Ashhy
C. Dickson, Haney and Watkins.
Judge Dickson nerved on the cir
cuit court In Multnomah county,
through appointment' of ex-Governor
Pierce. Hnricy is a former
member of the United States Ship-1
ping board, who resigned, and
Watkins is the only democrat who
has been elected representative in
congress in a genratlon.
"Judge Dickson has announced
his Intention of being candidate for
the nomination. Haney is show
ing the earmarks of a candidate
and delivered what has been con
strued as lils keynote speech at the
Jefferson day dinner a few weeks
ago. lie, like Judge Dickson, was
a Smith delegate at the national
convention and seconded Smith's
nomination. 'Watkins. although a
democrat, did what he could to
prevent Smith from carrying Ore
gon over Herbert Hoover.
"The feud between Haney and
Watkins opeend in 102(1. when
Watkins announced himself as a
candidate for the democratic nomi
nation for Cnlted States senator
and, as Watkins views It. Haney
'butted In' by also becoming a can
didate. That was a primarycam
paign of sensations and plotting.
"With the personal element In
volved, the democratic party can
look forward to a lively primary
fight If Haney and Watkins are
both in the race In such an event
Watkins could reasonably expect
the co-operation of cx-Oovernor
West, the democratic national
committeeman, for West and Wat
kins have much In common po
litically and od teamwork together.
"Wtkins makes no secret of say
ing that he Is being asked to run
for governor.
"Judge' Dickson Is relying upon
the backing of ex-Governor Pierce.
The story goes that the Judge will
campaign Intensively In Multno
mah, Clackhamas. liaker. I-ane and
Ivlnnn counties, while Pierce will
take the stump for him In the rest
of the slate. This report presup
poses that Pierce will not himself
jump Into the rnce with a view to
capitalizing on the income tax
measure, now under process of ref
erendum, and which will he on the
ballot in the general election In
1030.
"Speaking of governorship, n
brand new rumor which was
hatched during the week Is that
Denton G. P.urdlek is being
jit-oomed as a candidate, providing
evry thing looks propitious. Mr.
tturdlck, for many years represent
ative for the counties of Crook.
Deschutes. Jefferson. Klamath and
Lake, and former speaker of the
house, haj moved his residence
from Redmond to Portland. His
personal plan Is to seek election
to the legislature from Multnomah
county.
"While Tturdlck Is scanning the
state house with the eye of a legis
lator, some of his friends are pro
poHing that he nlm for the execu
tive office. They argue that P.ur
dtck's championship of the. so
called 'home rule" hill In the re
cent session, whereby Portland
would accede from the public serv
ice commission and make Its own
telephone rates, gave him a lot of
Jublicity which can be easily
capitalized. Thin publicity would
serve In a eampalcn for the legis
lature or for a state nomination.
It Is not Intended, however, to slip
Durdlck Into the gubernatorial prl
marv fight unless the set-up looks
good.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-HP)-"
After a close check of the senate
membership, administration lead
ers claimed today that the export
debenture plan would fall by n
smull majority to win a place In
the new farm relief bill. fc
On tho basis of their examina
tion, the leaders have determined
to let the plan come to a vote as
soon as possible, but It was re
garded unlikely that the farm bill
would be passed before the end of
next week, probably Friday.
Republican leaders have decided
In use otl their influence during
the remaining days of debate to
keep their forces Intact, and Presi
dent Hoover also Is taking a per
sonal Interest In the tight by con
ferlng with senators regarding his
own view' in opposition to the de
benture plan. - , '
. The first Sign of a break In the
ranks of middle western republi
cans, who generally have been con-
sldered the democrats' staunchest
supporters in the move to provide
fur the use of export debenture
certificates, was noted today when
Senator Nye, republican. North
Dakota, aid after-a call at the
White House that he was strongly
Inclined to .vote ngalnst the de-bentUTO'prppoiinl.-'
He'sai.1 he had.
not . definitely determined hja
coume, but that If nO'sbftlcfen! '
reason Is advnncert to warrant hl.m
changing his mind, he would vote
with .tho administration. -. , .
"I have, always been opposed lo
a subsidy for" farmers," Nye de-
dared. 'fThe, .debenture plnn seems ,
nothing piore than that.. We sen
ators who vote for the debenture
plan, might find ourselves obliged (
to fight subsidies far other things
which wo oppose."
The North Dakota senator's col- -league,
Senator Praaler, has al
ready a (Incited what he described
as the Hoover farm program and
bus "announced he will-vote for the
debenture plan. . ; , .
Chairman McNary of the senate
agriculture committee, who has the
farm hill In charge, sndl he be
lieved the Norrls amendment to the
debenture proposal, providing for a
reduction of rates when over-production
In a dohenturable com
modity Is foreseen, would be ac
cepted by the senate without dif
ficulty. ,
Therefore, he added, the vote on
this proposal couhl not be consid- .
ered a test of .sentiment. He con
tended many servitors would favor
strengthening a proposal even If
they were opposed to the proposal .
Itself, so that If It should become
law It would bo In tho best pos
sible shnpe.
Senator Watson of Indiana Is ex
pected to jisk n vote on Thursday,
ns republican lender, on his pro-. ;.
posnl to eliminate the debenture
plan. Admlnlslrallon leaders place
only 12 republicans at the most fn
the line-up In favor of the plan
and expect to receive support from
at least fie democrats. If. their
calculations nre borne out, the plan
would fail by from two to five
voles. ' ,' i'
