Leading Democratic members Of the
Senate are making an inquiry TO find
what are the chances OF electiug "a
Democratic President next fall. on

of William jennings Bryan to head the
Democratic ticket.

ters are being sent out now by certain
of the Democratic Senators, addressed
to men who are known TO have good
opportunities fer gauging the trend OF
public sentiment.
Upon what this inquiry develops will
depend the attitude of the Senators in
terested toward the Nebraska candidate.
If il is found the consensus Of opinion
points to the failure of the Democrats
to elect a President, then Mr. Bryan
VIII get the support of these Senators.
They will give him support on the
ground that the best possible service

It is learned there is no very san

OREGON SENATORS
LIKELY TO CLASH
Bourne and Fulton Support
Different Men for Gov
eminent Appointment.
WeSternerS Also Differ in
Fight for the Presi-
denCy.

What promises to be an interesting
fight over an appointment is impending
between the two oregon Senators. Full
ton and Bourne. Senator Bourne the
other day secured the appointment of
Christian Scheubel Of Oregon City, as
United States district attorney for the
Oregon district. The nomination was
sent TO the Senate by the President
and was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee. Senator Fulton has taken steps
10 hold up the nomination.
Senator Bourne has achieved much
public notice as a Roosevelt JhiTd-term
supporter. In season and out OF il he
has preached the third-term doctrine,
OF rather the doctrine of the second
elective term. Against the opposition
: o ( Senator Fulton and the two Oregon
Representative, Ellis and Hawley,

House to name Scheubel for the attor-
neyship 10 succeed w. c. Bristol.
Hears of Protests.
Senator Fulton. who had been out OF
the city, returned to Washington yes
1erday and found that requests had
reached him not to allow the Committee
on judiciary TO make a favorable re-
port on Scheubel until protests against
him could be heard. Senator Fulton
wiH delay matters accordingly. The
nature of the protests against Scheubel
are not explained. The man supported
Tor the nomination by Senator Fulton
and by Ellis and Hawley was George
Bingham, of Salem. It was objected
that Bingham was a Southern Pacific
attorney and he was not named.
BY the appointment of Scheubel, Sen
ator Fulton is put IN an embarrassing
position. He is a candidate for another
term, against serious opposition.
