GILBERT IS SOUGHT
FOR JOINT SENATOR
Toppenish Fruit Man is Uurged to
Make the Race for the
Republican Nomination.

H. NJ. Gilbert is wanted, by a
large number of friends, to consent
to be a candidate for the republican
nomination for state senator from
this district at the approaching prm-
airy election. Mr.. Gilbert has been
asked a number of times to be a
candidate for the office, the desire
being to get man who is interested
in and understands the lower valley
as well as the needs of this section
Of the country. Mr.. Gilbert has
hitherto declined to become a candi-
date saying that his increasing bust
ness interests demand his attention
and that he is unable to make such
a sacrifice In the public interests as
would be demanded of him without
doing an injustice to those with whom
he is associated. The effort, how
ever. has been renewed and the re-
quest is again to be made to him.
Lee A. Johnson of Sunnyside was
in North Yakima Tuesday on his way
to Tacoma to the state republican
convention. He was asked by frien Is
here if he proposed to file as a can
didate for the senatorship but re-
piled that though friends had urged
him to make the race he was unde-
cided as to his course. still it was pos
sible that he might be a candidate.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. o.-Secretary
Ballicger today denied that his con-
ference yesterday with Senator Crane
at Minneapolis, related to or would
be followed by, his resignation. He
said the matter discussed was not
even of direct interest to him. He
denounced his foes in strong lam
guage and said he inended to ignore
them entirely. His denial was issued
after reading the dispatches from
Beverly, etc, which indicated that
Cranes mission to the west was TO
carry hint that Ballinger would aid
ton by withdrawing at this time.
There's no resignation on tho
card, | can tell YOU" was Balinger's
reply Continuing he said;
Il am simply on my way to the
coast for a little rest. Some of them
want to make my rest permanent but
it will not be so long as the president
is satisfied. l met Crane yesterday
through no arrangement Of mine and
the matter we discussed was politics
of course, but that's all.
There was nothing mysterious
about it. [ guess he is gone back east
now. All this vicious attack by un-
scrupulous men backed by neWspa-
pers, even less scrupulous, go on and
off me like water off a ducks back.
That never will induce me to resign"
The secretary said he intended to
leave for the west later in the even
