Portlund, Or., Oct 6. United Stiites
Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., today
uecoptcd an Independent nomination
for re-election and will go on the offi
cial hnllot In the November election as
a "popular government candidate."
Senator llourne's acceptance of the
nomination followed the filing with
Secretary of State Olcott at Salem of
a petition signed hy 16,000 Oregon
voters urging him to run. The peti
tions were circulated and all the sig
natures were obtained within five
lays.
"Since the people have adopted a
constitutional provision," said Senator
Bourne today, "permitting eight per
cent of the voters to propose a law un
der the Initiative and to demand the
referendum upon a measure by peti
tion of five percent of the voter, I
fee' that this petition of 12 per cent
of the voters of Oregon is a call '.o
which I ought to respond."
Will Announce Platform.
The senator promised to make a
more extended statement regarding
his candidacy and the platform on
-which he would stand early next week
Senator Bourne's entering the fight
for election to the United States sen

been eliminated from the senatorial
race. He was defeated for the Repub

didate for a high office. In fact it was
no campaign at all.
Before the primaries Senator
Bourne astonished Oregon and the
nation by announcing that he would
make no personal appeal to the vot
ers. He asserted that he stood pat on
his record as a progressive Republi
can and as a competent representa
tive of Oregon In the senate.
Undo No Campaign.
"The people of Oregon are on trial,
not I," said Bourne. "If the voters
want me, well and good; If not, I
shall be satlfied with their verdict at
the polls."
Senator Bourne during the cam
paign preceding the primaries did not
enter Oregon. Consequently he was
beaten by Ben Selling a Portland mer
chant, though he polled a heavy vote.
Senator Bourne was prominently
mentioned at the state convention of
the Bull Moose party recently In con
nection with the nomination of that
party for United States senator.
When the Bull Moose failed to nom
Inte Senator Bourne his friends began
the circulation of petitions asking him
to run on an Independent ticket.

itlatlve measure which will come up
to the people at the coming election
and which provides for the Voting of
bonds to pay for the North and South
Salem.
Primarily the meeting was called to
select successors to. Aldermen Penny
baker and Pemberton, but it was un
derstood that the members would
avail themselves of the opportunity to
disouss the initiative measure and
they did.
Lafky and Jones went on record In
favor of the measure, but the remain
der of the members expressed them
selves as opposed to It. Alderman
Waring, who Is a candidate for mayor,
declined to vote, saying that he did
not tliink it was proper for the coun
cil to take a stand one way or the
other as the subject will come up to
the people for a decision.
Mayor Lachmund then demanded
that he take a stand, but Waring re
mained obdurate and did not vote.
Those voting against the measure
re: Brown, White, Constable, Sieg-
mund, Low, Hill, Skalfe, Townsend
and the mayor.
The mayor took an emphatic stand
against the measure, declaring he
would not be mayor of a town with
such a debt as would be created by it
resting on Its shoulders. This senti
ment met with favor by those who
voted r gainst It, they also expressing
their opinion along similar lines.
The mayor during the discussion,
announced his candidacy, for in dis
closing It he said he would not want
to be mayor with such a debt against
the city and that he expected to be a
candidate, and that he also expected
to be rlecled.

succeed Councilman Pemberton in
tin- seventh, and John D. Turner to
succeed Councilman Pennybakcr In
the fifth ward.

force of Nlcaraguan federals and
American marines and sailors under

deployed on two sides of the eminence

Two Hundred Wounded.
The Americans fired on the rebels
for more than half an hour after Zel
don's forces still fighting desperately,
evacuated their position and fled with
the American nnd N'lcaraguan federals
in hot pursuit. Many of them were
captured, but Zeledon himself eluded
his pursuers for several hours before
he was taken. More than 200 of the
