OF THE TICKET
John Hays Hammond, Repub-
liCan, a Candidate for
Vice President.

Washington, June 2,-After consid-
Grafton of the suggestion of his west
ern friends. John Hays Hammond has
decided TO enter the contest for the
nomination for vice president on the
Republican ticket. He is being urged
by his friends on the ground that he
is Californian by birth. has a very
intimate knowledge of all problems,
political and economic, affecting the
west, and is now d resident of Glou-
Cester, Mass. Mr.. Hammond was for
merly connected with the Guggenhefm
Mining company but has no connec-
ton with the smelling trust. Beside
this. Mr. Hammond has the advantage,
it is urged, of a strong following
among. business men, and this, it is
considered. may be an important fea-
ture of his candidacy For the past
year Mr.. Hammond has been engaged
independently in his professional
work as mining engineer, without any
connection with mining companies.
Mr.. Hammond was in Washington
today, and IL was after several con-
ferences with his political friends that
the decision was reached to make an
nOuncement of his candidacy.
John p. Montgomery of Colorado will
leave for Chicago tomorrow TO estab-
lish headquarters in the Auditorium

The complexion of the next legisla-

Portland, Ore, June 2.-Governor G.
Z. Chamberlain, Democrat, is the
choice of the people of oregon for the
United States senatorship, to succeed
Charles w. Fulton, Republican, and a
Republican legislature has been chosen
TO elect him. How large Chamber
lain's majority will be over his oppO-
nent, Judge Henry NJ. Cake, Repub-
lican, is hard TO say at this stage of
the count, but from the returns at
hand il is believed that it will exceed
LOCO, and may go to 1,50O.
Chamberlain's victory is more in the
nature of a personal triumph. oregon
normally is Republican. and in 1904
Roosevelt's plurality was AZ 434. Gov
ernor Chamberlain has twice been
elected governor of this state
The selection of Chamberlain by thu
people is but a preliminary step to the
senatorship. In Oregon candidates for

Bryan said:
I was once known as the boy orator
of the Platte and / am particularly in
terested in coming TO this section

with lie Bridgeport meeting which
provoked Mr.. Bryan to a hearty laugh
at the expense Of the arrangements
committee. Twenty members of the
committee went to Alliance Monday
night to greet his train and accompany
him TO their own town. The train left
Alliance at 3 O'Clock this morning, and
the hotel proprietor failed TO wake
them. Mr.. Bryan, member OF the
committee who did not retire at all,

get. A big crowd, few OF whom had

him at the station. A large number Of
high school pupils, who had refused TO
remain at their studies while the Ne
braskan was in town, were among the
first to make their presence known
when Mr.. BTyan's train stopped at the

delivered il with a vim that at once
attracted Mr. BTyans attention. He
had been bundled into an automobile

Believes the Charges True.

"A suggestion that a member of the
house has been annoyed by opportunities
of the Electric Boat cOmDany's represen-
tative cannot Tightfuliy be construed as
a charge against the member. A request
that the committee ascertain by impair
tial investigation whether improper prac-
tees on the part of the Electric Boat
company had influenced congressional ac-
ton is not, in my judgment. a charge
against members of the house be
lieved, and still believe. that the Electric
Boat company has received excessive
prCfit in the sale of submarine boats to
the United States government That be
lief has been strengthened by the testi-
mOny given at the committee by a re-
