When GOvernOr-elect Stubbs. of Kan
sas. was in Washington recently he was
busy inquiring about the workings of
the Oregon primary election law. He
had interviews with a number of people
who have had to do with promotion OF
the primary election idea. and made
plain TO them that he was seeking the
best in primary selection OF party can
didates, with a view TO recommending

Governor Stubbs and Governor
Hughes, along with Hadley, of Mis-

terest in the next two years because all
these men are looked upon as possible
Presidential timber for 1912, and also
because these men are all rated as
likely Senators within the next few
years. The gOvernorship OF a State has
become the accepted pedestal from
which to step over TO the Senatorial
distinction.
House Loses Position.
The lower house Of Congress- until a
few years ago. was the favorite recruit
ing ground for Senators. But since the
House has fallen under the guns OF the
muckrakers. and has come to be criti-
cised violently as an unpopular iHTti-
tuition, fewer Senators have been com
ing up from that body. A Senator said
the other day that he guessed If man
should rush I'm on the floor OF the Sen
ate and shout. Hello. governor" he
would raise about half the members
from their seats.
The decadencs Of the House in DO gu
lar esteem has had much TO do with
making the gCvernorship stepping
stone for ambition; but beyond tits is
the fact that the governor has the best
chance possible for getting acquainted
with the people and cultivating their

extent accounts for the tendencies 10

has an ambition for the Senate, and

position, naturally has an idea that he
would come nearest TO winning II he
