Governor Chamberlain arrived in
the city this morning, and Is repre
senting the Alnsworth National bank
of Portland In the now almost famous
Nodlne case." When asked by an Ob
server representative regarding the po
litical situation In Oregon, he said:
"I am here only upon business, and
not to talk politics." V
"But, governor, you do not come to
our town very often, and we want you
to say something," persisted the re
porter. "What about the senatorial
fight?" .
"I am assuming," said the chief
executive, "that the matter Is settled.
I believe that the men who were elect
ed to the state legislature upon their
solemn promise to obey the will of
the people and to vote for the popu
lar choice for the United States senate,
will keep those promises. There la
only one thing about which there can
be any doubt,' and that is whether the
legislators who were elected as anti
statement will obey the Implied will
of the voters or not" -v
"What do you think of Bryan's
chances?" was asked.
"I think," said Mr. Chamberlain
with a smile, "that Bryan will be elect

chances are '
very good,
much better than ever be-1
