Such 1b the situation today, each unwill- H to give vay to the other. Is Booth in Doubt? An interesting feature of the rivalry tietwcen Malarkey and JfMson Is the fact that Booth, of Lane, who is willing to support the "Multnomah candidate," lias had two candidates to pi ok. from. unfler the circumstances, It Is said that Hooth, while llklnff Hodlson for Presi dent, mlfrht look elsewhere, since Hod son has -been una hie to secure a united Jiuitnomah delegation. It has been re ported of Booth that he would not be u n wll I inur to support a dark horse, if It were a Mlssourlan. If Hodson could fret -Malarkey into line, there lg no l0Ut)t that Booth would Stick to Hodson. The Hodson men assert, however, that there 1 no doubt Booth will stick anyway. Hudson and Haines frequented th MndMVOUS yesterday, each ex- prr-SKlnjr confidence that he himself would win the gavel.

The bill relating: to voting- machines proposes that the Governor.

Tlie "corrupt practice act" Is divided Into three sections. In the first section of the bill bribery in all Its forms Is defined. The next section requires that ail candidates for office Shall file an Itemized statement of the amount of their oamr)icn expenses and also places a limi tation on tlie amount ' candidates for office shall expend, It the Wll Is enacted no candidate (will be allowed to spend to his ofllce during the time for which he' Is elected, provided the agereeate of that salary exceeds .foOO; other candidates, will be restricted to o0 as campaign ex- penses in accomplishing their election. Cute Off Petty Graft. The concluding- section of this bill pro- vides that tlie soliciting of money and cigars or other considerations from a candidate, together with the attempt to sell entertainment and other tickets to the office-seeker, shall constitute a mis demeanor and be punished as. such. This feature of the measure found a responsive chord In the members of the delegation. who will cordially -welcome any legisla tion that will decimate the ranks of the ante-election trraftera. The third bill proposed by the Repub lican Club involves three amendments to the registration law a follows: Substi tilting- the card system, as employed in Multnomah County, for the general refgls- ter that is now used in the registration of Voters: authorizing the County Clerk to appoint deputies to so out Into the county anX complete tne rejcintratlon or electors; providing that registration bOOKS be kept OWn for lo iftyn before Presl- dentlal and special elections and a rea sonable lenRtli or time before municipal elections for the accommodation of, U0- registered electors. The fourth bill provides -for a re apportionment or the state Into sena torial and representative districts. This measure, explained Mr. Lockwood. was drafted in compliance with the constitutional provision, that the legis lative representation' in each county snail be on the basis of Its population. The new apportionment, as sriven in the bill, gives Multnomah. Cou nty elfrht Senators Instead of nve. and two Joint Senators under the present law. and If Representatives Instead of 12. and two joint-Representatives, as at present. Change Registration Law. Mr. Loekwood stated that a number ef other suggestions, touching on fur ther needed amendments to the regis- tration law, had been offered the C0m mlttee. principal among which was a. provtalon exemptlns an elector from rene-wlna- hla realntratlon every two years, except . he change his place Of residence from On tireelnct to another. The committee considered that the su'srarestlon possesses merit, but did not draft a bill covering the contingency. Senator Bailey attacked the direct primary law. maintaining ' that the statement In Its pream ble that Its pur nose is the preservation of political ' f ' . DarlleL Is .itaclly Conlradietea' W the provisions of the law Itself. Mo con -si tiered that the law should "be so amended as to prevent the continual flirting of electors and candidates with first one party and then the other, a condition that was not guarded against In the bill as it is now con- stitutcd.

What we need Is more people, and - when we aret them we shall have a tls-rer and a uetter etate." Glib Talkers Are Wanted. Mr. Myers has great Tn.lth in the value of horticultural and axicul-tural ex- tills at these expositions, and considers stereopticon views and good lectures a most valuable adjunct to any exhlhlt as an me "fowiere" the. state can possibly afford with its exhibit If it Is decided to have one at Jamestown. He sufrgested thaX at least 19 good talken from Ore- gon accompany any exhibit that is tor warded, but Senators Beach and Hodson and Representative Beveridge doubted If that would be a suriclent number to give an exhibit proper attention, While no expression came from the delegation as a body, the legislators dis played great interest In the project under consideration.
