Joseph Simon eyed for United States Senate nomination
Oregon political circles spark as Joseph Simon of Portland may return to the race for the U S Senate on a Statement No 1 platform. The Oregon Sunday Journal notes strong urging from friends and a belief he will reenter politics to oppose Senator Fulton in the June primaries. Simon, out of politics for four years since 1904, is seen as aligning with the popular election principle and could carry the Republican ticket if he consents. Meanwhile local notice reports a Baker City hunter killed two cougars on the Mojave River trip, one seven feet seven inches and the other five feet, and a bank stockholders meeting set for January 1, 1908 in Athena.
