11 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY. JANUARY 5, 1909. BOWERMAH LOOKS CERTAIN Possibility of His Defeat for President of the Senate Appears Remote. EIGHTEEN WANT CAUCUS Of TTis, 15 Are Pledged to Vote for Dowmnan Sixteen Totes Xeed ed to Elect in Session of Sen ate How They Stand, Should tt IS Republican Stat Sena' tnra, who have a irrrrd to caucus for th President of the Oregon Senate, carry out that plan, there Is little doubt that Bnrennan. of Gilliam. Ehermaa ana Wle!r, wfl be rhosen to that office in Salem next weelc. The caucus plan eema so well cinched, by the Individual and written agreements of the 18. that caucus failure is regarded as a rery re mote contingency. v Sixteen votes will elect the President on the floor of the Senate, and ten will control the IS In caucus. Bowerman has the avowed support of IS. Including him- rlf, with a Livelihood tliat soveral others will be added to It Kay of Marlon and Abraham of Douglas, and perhaps Beach and Bailey of Multnomah. So big did Bowemian loom up In the fight yester day that Beach, who has been heading the opposition, called on him. for the purpose. It Is supposed, of opening up friendly relations. Beach had just heard the news that Johnson of Benton. Coffey of Multnomah and Parrlsh of Grant were In the Bower man camp. This was a big surplse to the Beach forces, althouph not to the Bowerman element. It meant the col lapse of the Beach-Balley-Hodaon game of politics. In some quarter the prediction waj made that Beach and Bailey would re pudiate their caucus agreement, m order to carry their flsht to the floor of the Senate, where they would be aided by the flva Statement Republican members, who have thus far refused to iro Into raucus, and the seven Democratic mem bers, making a total strength of 14. But this project would not defeat the caucus, since to reduce Bowerman s sup- Tort to 15. Kay, of Marlon, would have to be induced to stay out of caucus. But Kay declared In Portland Sunday that any game to defeat caucus mould meet with his) opposition and that should any of the parties to the caucus agreement repudiate It, he and his Influence would stand In the breach. At th present time, the line-up of the) 23 Republican members Is as follows: Pledged to caucus and Bowerman Ilart, Parrlsh. Merry-man, Coffey, Not tingham. Scholfield. Barrett. Wood, Bing ham. Ir. J. N. Smith. F. J. Miller. Chase, Cole, Johnson, lioirerirnin IS. Pledged to caucus Kay, Bailey. Beach. Not pledged to caucus Statement One members) Selling:, Albee, Kellaher, Sin nott, Abraham. Of the la supporting Bowerman, five are Statement Senators Nottingham, Boolflold, Barrett, Bingham, Johnson. Beach, though opposed to Statement One, has been acting In concert with State ment members in the Senate organiza tion. Yesterday's developments completed the ruin of the Statement One effort to rule the Senate. They also marked a heavy slump In the Bowerman support. Johnson spent the day In Portlard sur veying the situation and evidently- con vinced himself that the opposition to Bowerman was on weak legs. Coffey declared himself on Sunday to be of that opinion. Parrish announced that he could see no chance for any candidate but Bowerman. All three of these men were relied on by the opposition: also others who have openly gone Into the Bowerman camp Nottingham, of Mult nomah; Barrett and Wood, of Washing ton, and J. Is. Smith, of Marlon Although In some quarters It was said yesterday that Bailey and Beach might now oppose a Republican caucus, this Is not generally believed. The Bower man forces say they do not believe It, rand that they wish to maintain ami cable relations with the two Multnomah men. If for no other reason that that they have agreed to a caucus that will -Veep the fcsnate organization In the Republican family. In the Speaker fight, McArthur still maintains a long lead ahead of Patton, the Marlon Statement candidate, and his forces are perfecting plans for a House caucus. Up to last night 27 Re publican Representatives had signed 'the caucus call, and the completion of the required tl cauous pledges appears 'to be a matter of but a day or two. iBIO STATEMENT CONFERENCE 'Chamberlain Faction Prepares for Meeting In Portland Friday. Statement members of the Multnomah County delegation are predicting an at- tendance of ax bxist 0 of the 5 pledged Representatives at the general confer ence of the Statement member in the House to be held In this city Friday night. At that time the stand-pat anti caucus Statement men expect to be able to decide on a candidate for Speaker In an open fight on the floor of the House, whore they propose to carry the organi sation contest. The conference will be held In the office of Representative L D. Mahone. In the Board of Trade building, at 8 o'clock Friday night. The Statement leaders concede that the antls have captured three of the State ment members of the House from Mult nomah Cwunty Abbott. Brady and Clem ens and are not counting on their at tendance at Cie app-.oaclilng conference. Put asidd from this trio, they declare tliat every other pledged member of the lower house who can find It possible to be In Portland Friday will be present at the meetlne. Of the- three derelict mem bers of the. Multnomah delegation, eo designated by he stand-pat Statement ttes, Brady Is the- only one openly to de clare that he has gone over to tha Mc Arthur forces. At the same time Brady mado this declaration Meonrtld also Jumped the traces and announced that he wouid support McArthur. But since then the Statement men have obliged McDon ald to return to the fold, where he is now belr.g carefully guarded While Abbott and Clemens have not come out and said that they proposed to support McArthur. the Statement men de clare that such an announcement n;ay bo expected hourly from them. Karly in the game these two men refused to train with their Statement colleagues, contending that the question of Statement or anti Btatement should not be permitted to en ter into the contest for organizing either branch of the Legislature. They had no sooner taken this attitude than the other members of the delegation placed them on tho blacklist, where they have re mained to do as they please. just who will receive the nomination for Speaker fct the Friday conference Is a conundrum. But. what Is more of a problem for the Statement men to de termine, 1 the matter of selecting a man that can unite tiie support of all the JtoMne&t Jarcea wtthoui the f'jmiti'.tj a previous understanding that the choice of the conference shall be binding on all participating therein. It is reported that no such preconference understanding has been reached, which causes the antls to predict unhesitatingly that certain disrup tion will follow any decision the confer ence may reach. Patton, of Marlon, is the most aggres sive, apparently, of the numerous candi dates for the nomination by the State ment forces. Ho has been exceedingly busy for several weeks, and his tour of Eastern Oregon, while made In the inter est of holding the Statement members to gether, was made to serve the Interests of his candidacy," it Is surmised. At any rate. Patton has not yet been devoting all of his time to the stationery business, in which he is engaged, and the result of his activity. It is said, will be shown at the Friday night conference. Jon is of Polk and Lincoln, who for some time waa a tentative candidate among the Statement forces for the Speakership, Is reported to be supporting the Marlon County man. Patton also la counting on the support of a majority of the Statement members of the delegation from Multnomah County, although bis strength in this county Is not a certain quantity, for it is known that several are lined up for Bean, while a few are not unfriendly to the aspirations of Camp bell, of Clackamas. Patton. however, represent that he has 18 of the 25 mem bers pledged to htm. That strength would be sufficient to give him the nomination, should all of tho 26 Statement members attend and participate in the conference. With at least three of their number not attending, a leas number than 13 will make It possible for Patton to win out. The Statement faction continues to In sist that a caucus of the House cannot be brought about. In order to do so, the leaders figure that McArthur and his friends will have to organize the 27 antl &tatemont members and at the same time gain the asslutance of four Statement members, which they prophesy cannot be done. The MoArthur forces, however, are Just as sanguine that a caucus will be held. They report that the situation looks brighter every day. and that before the end of the week more than tho required number St signatures will be obtained to Insure a caucus on Speaker. CAMPBELL OTTTMXES VIEWS Candidate for Speaker Discusses Proposed legislation. OREGON CITY, Or.. Jan. 4. (Special.) Acting upon an editorial suggestion of The Oregonlan, made several days ago, that the candidates for Speaker of the House In the Oregon Legislature should go on record so as to give the publio their views on the Important- questions that are to be considered by that body, and In that manner display their fitness for the position they are seeking. J. TJ. Campbell, Representative from Clacka mas County, and a prominent candidate for Speaker, this afternoon gave out the following Interview: "If I am chosen Speaker I shall use all my influence, both as Speaker and mem ber, to keep all appropriations of publio money down to actual needs. As always, there will be a clamorous demand for new and increased appropriations. Where there seems to be a sufficient need for such Increase or new appropriations I shall favor a bill or bills drawn in such form that each one may be submitted to the people by referendum and be ap proved or rejected on Its Individual merits. 1 shall oppose hiring any unnecessary clerks or other employes of the House, or of paying clerks or other employee for more time than they serve. For this cause I earned the dislike of some per sons at the 1307 session, but I was able to materially help in cutting down the expense of that session. "I shall favor bills to tax fairly all franchises and privileges and rights con ferred by the state and which now ray less than their Just share of the publio revenue. "I shall favor the settlement of the question of normal schools by a bill to nx their number and location and If the Legislature fails to agree on a Just bill. then I will favor ordering Its suDmis slon to the people. "I shall favor laws relieving the com merce of the state of all unnecessary burdens, whether In the form of un just townee or pilotage charges, ex orbitant price for sailors or any other special privilege. "I believe a branch asylum for the In sane should be located at some suitable point In Eastern Oregon. "I shall do all In my power to secure the early passage of a bill that wiu pre vent any person or corporation from obtaining a fee simple title to warer rights and other natural resources. The waters of the state, suitable for power development and Irrigation purposes, should yield a revenue to the state. In stead of being coined Into dividends for the speculator. I shall favor the best system of water laws to be had, but there can be no reasonable objection to an emergenoy bill preserving these resources from being grabbed by the speculator. "I shall favor amendment to the bann ing laws, making examinations more stringent and providing for the fullest practicable publicity. "I shall favor amendment to our In surance laws so as to prevent an insur ance monopoly. 'I shall favor laws reducing to mini mum the differences between capital and labor and any bill that will ameliorate the condition of wage-earners without de stroying the property of the investor. "Representatives are Judged by the record of the whole House rather than bv their Individual votes on measures. The voters are Inclined, and I think with some Justice, to blame the Representative personally for all blunders, idleness, ex travagance and failures of the Legisla ture as a whole. In other words, few of the voters look up the individual record, while the effects of the record of the whole Is forced upon their attention and the Individual will be blamed or praised according to the general result." ADVOCATE CRATER LAKE ROAD Subscriptions Already Received and Government to Be Asked for More. "State and Government aid will be asked by the people of Jackson and Klamath Counties in tire projected con struction of a macadam road from Klam ath Falls to Crater Lake and thence to Medford." said Dr. George H. Merry- man, Senator-elect from Crook, Klamath and Lake Counties, at the Imperial, yes terday. "Request for state aid may not be made at this session of the Legisla ture, but It Is reasonably certain to come In 1511. Any appropriation from the state will be mado contingent on liberal ap propriations from the two Interested counties and also from the Government. It Is estimated that the total cost of the proposed road would be about $X.000. present plans contemplate that Its con struction shall be directed by the Gov ernment engineers." E. H. Harriman, Union Pacific magnate, hose Summer home is located on Peli can Bay, near Crater Lake, has agreed to subscribe J.tO.000 to such a fund. Xhe same subscription has been duplicated by tho people of Jackson County, and Klamath lounty will be expected to do likewise. This would provide an Initial fund of C5VXa The state will then be renuested to contribute an equal amount. and then Congress will be asked to appro priate the remaining J300.000, which it Is considered will be sufficient to complete tho road.
