r. j. Slater, the we'll known local
attorney is being prominetly men
toned as democratic candidate for
the office of supreme judge and it is
probable that his name will be writ
ten in on the primary ballot this
month. The Portland Journal yes
terday mentioned his name in con-
rection with the judicial office and
Mr.. Slater stated today that If his
name is written in on the ballot he
will make the race.
MANY democrats have come to
me-" he said, urging me to be a can
didate but / have told all that /
would neither circulate a petition my
self nor allow any one to circulate
one for me, but that if my name was
written in on the ballot that I would
accept"
There is only one vacancy in the
supreme court this year and for thai
position, Robert Aiken, the present
incumbent, is already out. Aiken i:
of w. T. Slater, ex-supreme judge
and is a lawyer of long and wide ex
perience.
In the same article in the Journa
which mentioned the local man fo
supreme Judge, Senator George E
Chamberlain of this state was spokei
or as a democrat likely to have hi
name written in as the candidate 70
vice-president of the United States.

SENATOR CHAMBERLAIN Says WOODROW WILSON IS
THE Man FOR THE DEMOCRATS TO NOMINATE
DECLARES JERSEY
MAN MOST ABLE
TYPICAL Representative OF
the Progressive
Sentiment

Senator George +. Chamberlain,
whom oregon democrats are going to
place in the running for vice presi-
dent. is an earnest supporter of Gov
ernor woodrow Wilson for the DEM
ocratic nomination for president. In
a recent interview given at Wash
ington the Oregon senator Is quoted
as saying the following about the
Wilson candidacy:
There are several reasons why l
think that Governor Woodrow Wilson
is the man who should be nominated
6y the democratic national conven-
otin.
First and foremost. Governor VIII
son is one of the most intelligent
men in the country today, and he as
thoroughly understands its history
and the history of the federal and
state institutions as any man with
whom I am acquainted.
"In the second place he's a typical
representative of the progressive sem
timent OF the people-not a radical,
but man who thoroughly believes
that present day remedies should be
applied to present day abuses. He
believes rather that the constitution
should be amended by legislative
bodies to meet conditions which are
conceded to exist and which could not
have been foreseen by the trainers OF
the constitutions. either federal or
state than that there should be left
to the courts the power to stretch
these constitutions to meet situ-
alton which the development of great
industrial enterprises-the aggrega-
ton in the hands of a few-and the
great part that business Is playing in
the government have rendered neces-
sary. He realizes as fully as any man
that the legislative branches of the
government have not been doing their
duty in this respect; that they are not
representative of the wishes of the
people: that instead of being gov
ernment representative OF the peo-
pie we have a government that Is
rather representative of the privi-
legged classes, the special interests and
big business. For this reason he
stands as a representative of a grow
