Mc Carthy's Senate seat in a special election appeared certain today. Former Gov. Walter Kohler and Lt. Gov. Warren Knowles formally announced their candi dacies Tuesday, and former Rep. Glenn Davis was expected to throw his hat in the ring today. A fourth possible GOP con tender was Rep. Alvin O'Konski (R-Wis.) who has said he is se riously considering entering the race. However, there was still some question -over whether Gov. Ver non Thomson would call the spe cial election to fill McCarthy's unexpired term. Wisconsin law requires that the governor either call an elec tion or leave the post vacant un til the regular 1958 election. Some GOP leaders have pressed for a change in state laws to en able Thomson to appoint a Re publican successor. At least three Democrats were standing by ready to declare their candidacies in the primary. They were William Proxmire, three time candidate for governor; Rep. Henry Reuss of Milwaukee and state Sen. Henry Maier. We've Mad It! We QUIT! UQUnATDM Everything Goes! Closing Our To The Bare Walls!

Johnson, Grants Pass, is seeking $36,454 damages in circuit court here against Harry Raymond LeClerc, 615 West Second st., Medford. The suit is the result of a col lision on Highway 99 on June 6, 1956, involving cars operated by Mrs. Johnson and LeClerc. The accident occurred about a mile south of Medford, according to the complaint. Mrs. Johnson stated in her complaint that she was driving south on the outside lane of the highway when the defendant's car entered the highway from a private driveway and collided with her vehicle. She charges LeClerc with six counts of care lessness and negligence, includ ing failure to have his car under control and failure to maintain proper lookout. The plaintiff claims to have re ceived multiple injuries in the accident, including contusions, abrasions, a cracked rib and wrist fracture. She claims that as a result of the injuries use of her left wrist is permanently im paired. She asks $35,000 general dam ages,. $804 for medical care and S650 for damage to her vehicle. Mrs. Johnson is represented by Bailey, Lezak, Swink and Gates, Grants Pass law firm. Holmes Signs Bill On Death Penally Salem OPl Gov. Robert D. Holmes Tuesday signed a bill calling for a vote next year to abolish the death penalty in Ore gon. The House bill, introduced by Reps. Robert Duncan, Don Win ner, Keith Skelton and George Layman, and Sens. Monroe Sweetland and Dan Dimick, would abolish capital punish ment, except in cases where a person under life sentence com mits first degree murder. End to capital punishment in Oregon was asked by Gov. Holmes in his inaugural address at which time he said: "I find nothing in enlightened religion or the ethics of modern civiliza tion that justifies an 'eye for an eye' philosophy." If voters approve the measure in November, 1958, it will be the second time in the state's history that the death penalty has been barred. The first repeal of capital punishment came in 1914. It was restored to the law books in 1920 after Gov. James Withycombe appealed that there was no suit able punishment for treason during World War I.
