CONVENTION TOMORROW.
Republican Representatives who
Will Nominate Candidates.
Political Gossip.

In the outside precincts there was LITTLE
contest at the primaries Saturday. Ir
each Corvallis preciHct there were al
least two tickets-the big" and the cit
tie" In No. and the "big" ticket
was elected, and in ; and q the "little'
won e:sily The .'little' was primarily
straight and auti-Lord. The delegates
were pledged to no candidates. Many
of tho.e, and indeed the majority, OH the
big ticket are really in the same position,
SO that at least IS Corvallis delegates are
for Gecr. AS far as sentiment aud popu-
larity goes Lord l. distinctly out of the
race, but his workers here hope to secure
a favorable delegation by shrewd com-
! binations,
Beu;rn's seven votes are needed to
help bring 60 Multnomah votes for Lord.
There is disposition all over the state
to shut out both Multu0mah county's
delegations if both factions send repre-
sentatives to the state convention. Both
have a following of several thousand
votes. One is known as the H1rsch co1a-
1nittce and the other as the Mckay
committee.
The Hirsch COMMITTEES delegates to the
state convention will favor Geer; the
Mckay committee Lord. If the Mckay
delegates are seated it will give Lord 60
solid votes with which to force the
friends of other candidates to his support
and in the hands of shrewd nlanipula-
ton, ensure Geer's defeat.
There will be determined effort to
bring the Portland factional fight into
the state convention and to force the
country delegates to say which faction
is right. IF popular sentiment prevails
the state convention will decide that
neither is right and that both must stay
seut.
The Lord effort in this county
is to secure a delegation who are
privately known to vote for the seat
in. of the Mckay delegates. Then if
the delegates wish to make grandstand
play some of them will be allowed to
vote for Geer, if Lord does not need
them. Stripped of all by play and
mind, such will be the issue in any COIL
test over the selection OF state delegates.
Lincoln county will probably claim the
joint ssnatorsi,ip with Henry Nice, R. A.
In that case Benton county will be ed
titled to name the JOINT representative
and Marion Hayden is mentioned a. a
very suitable and appropriate candidate
to rHn against John Henry. 1t is not
known that he weuld accept if the nom-
inatien we're rendered him. 1t is llnani-
ruously United that he would ma.c a
useful and reliable legislator and strong
candidate. There will probably be other
names discussed among the delegates
tomorrow.
JOAN Dai; i working hard for the
joint senator rnination, but >trong re-
pullic.n "ppos .tion has developed ard
it is supposed that hi: nomination is de-
sired tor scrne unpublished purpose.
For representative r. J. Nichols, of
Dusty, ald DIR. Logan, are still talked
about, but neither can be considered can
didates in the usual sense Of the term
Both are fine men, cultured, with good
Judgment and neither would be offended
if the convention should possibly deem
it e;pedient G to nominate some other
man.
Tne she; if question seems to be be-
tween George Lilly and Monroe Cam
eron. The on who receives it will have
the hearty support of the other during
the campaign. There is little heard con-
corning the judgeship. Elvin Newton
and D. B. Farley will have friendly
bout for assessorship. Orrin Clark is the
only announced candidate for the clerk
ship. If there is any candidate for
treasurer he has not yet expressed kim-
self
Last week in these columns it was said
that "tEere will be opposition to Gel'atly
and Denman." OF course everyone un-
derstSod til at it shoald hare read, "there
will be no oopasition.''
