Krom every part of Oregon telegrams are pouring into the National capitol ad dressed to Fulton and calling upon him to take a decided stand against the Tillman hill, and other measures, which are de signed to amend the Interstate commerce law by forbidding or restricting ship . nient of liquors to states which have pro hibited their sale or keeping for sale These telegrams are sent chiefly by brewers, liquor dealers and hop dealers, and are in compliance with an urgent request . received from the ' National Brewers' Association. Senator Fulton is a member of the Senate judiciary com mittee and is therefore in an influential position, for which reason it is so earn estly desired that ho be enlisted against the anti-liquor bills. But, on the other hand,, there are large numbers of people In Oregon who hope to see the Tillman bill, or one of its kind, passed by Congress, and It Is understood that steps are being taken by the anti Kaloon people to make a demand upon Fulton that he support legislation that will protect "dry" states from the impor tation of liquors. Since this Issue has arisen on the eve of a campaign in which Fulton is a can didate for popular indorsement, there was considerable speculation In political circles today as to the effect It is likely to have.
