sailed Mr. Cake for falling to defend
an accusation against Senator Fulton,
which was being made by Heney In I
pursuance of a conspiracy of which !
Governor Chamberlain was an lm-1 $

position of assistant warden of the
state penitentiary, and Bishop Barclay,
who was alKo a member of that con

Governor Chamberlain at the gover

In. view of the foregoing facts, the
governor's sincerity and honesty of

deceive the people of the state of Ore
gon? ; Who cannot help from asking that
question after hearing or reading the
campagln speeches of the governor T
The governor aald that if elected to
the senate he would try to see that
an employers' liability law, applicable
to the Interstate railroads, was lmme
dlately passed. He charged that con
gress had refused to pass such a bill
although the president had recom
mended Its passage a number of
times. The facta are that congress
about two year ago, passed an act
concerning this subject and the same
was held unconstitutional because it
admits the regulation of employers'
liability In several states when this
was a matter over which congress had
no control. The legislatures of the
several states under our system have
exclusive control on that subject with
In the state, and congress can only
regulate such matters relating to com
.mere between the states. During the
present congress a bill on this sub'
Ject was passed and Signed by Pres
ident Roosevelt and the legislation If
entirely satisfactory to railway em
ployees throughout the country. In
proof of this statement reference Is
, made to President . Roosevelt's last
message.
Again, Governor Chamberlain ac
cuses Mr. Cake of bad faith and of
.Vile and nefarious treatment of Ren
ator Fulton In the primary campaign
In not denying the charges made
against the senator and defending his
good name therefrom. The ' evident
purpose of Governor Chamberlain Is
to create In the minds of the friends
- of Senator Fulton, a feeling of resent
ment and revolt against Mr. Cake's
candidacy ao that the governor would
Inherit their votes.
Those who have heard Mr.) Cake's
addresses will remember that Mr,
Cake spoke of Mr. Fulton In the high
est terms and on one occasion, In his
peeo hln Union, branded the charges
made against Senator Fulton as abso
lutely false.
Governor Chamberlain further said
If he was a friend of Senator Fulton,
he would have mado that denial. Lit
tle comfort will be obtained by the
governor when the true facts regard
ing that vile controversy between Mr.
Heney and Mr. Fulton are known. Mr.
Heney, In his speech In Portland on
January 28th, Inst, quotes the state
ment of Governor Chamberlain, using
these words, "Governor Chamberlain,
I have talked with about this mutter.
. He has made no affidavit, but I sup
' pose his word will go without swear-
Ing to It and here la what he told me
. ,. . " Thun Mr. Heney quoted
y length from the statement of the
governor. In which J. S. Hmlth was by
" him fully exonerated. Heney also
. read an affidavit of Blxhop H. U Bar
clay, who also "butts" In on the game.
Then Governor ChHmberlnln, at 8.

In this Washington contest several
hundred dollars in cash for which no
subscriptions wero secured, were
turned In the last night by chivalrous
admirers of the contestants.
The large number of votes announc
ed, therefore, did not represent an In
creased circulation, but simply meant
that the man with the most money at
hla disposal bought the premiums and
the public was slightly deceived, as it
was led to believe that every cent of
money turned in represented Increas
ing circulation.
Thus business men will look with
many misgivings on the enormous sum
of votes announced In these contests,
It ls simply a rivalry between the
backers of the contestants and the
long purse wins. Circulation ls lost
