Oregon Legislature Con
venes for Forty-day Sss
si on--0utlook Seems
Bright for Chamberlain
SALEM, Or., Jan. 11. With the eyes
of a nation focused mwn it, with the
votera of this atate, in particular, a
waiting with keen interest, the Oregon
legislature convened today for n forty
day session with the prospect of being
the scene of the most extraordinary
senatorial contest ovor leld in any leg
islative hall in the country.
Nowhere has a moro unique situation
growing out of a fight for a scut in
the United States senate over developed
This is true because of the fact Hint
both branches of the Oregon legislature,
are facing the proposition of giving the
senatorial plum to a democrat, George
E. Chamberlain, now governor of the
state and the people's choice for th
hgh position. Otherwise they must re
pudiate the pledges made to the voters
a-ud elect a republican.
In either event an interesting chap
ter will be written In potitleul history.
All WiU Keep Fledge
Presont indications are that every
one of, the fifty-two legislators oleeted
on "Statement No. 1" which provides
for the election of the United Stutos
senators by a voto of the people, will
stand by their pledge and send Cham
berlain to the upper house of congress,
although the pill be a bitter one to
swnllow.
From tho time Gov. Chamberlain de
feated Judge H. M. Cake, his republi
can opponent, at the hint general elect
Ion in June until the proaent day the
contest has been repielo with exciting
features in a political wnr.
First of all, Judge Cake defeated
Senator Charles W. Fulton, whoso term
toon expires, inthe primaries. The Ful-
tonitea then raised the cry that scores
of democrats registered ns republicans
so that thev could elect Cake, thinking
the latter would be a weaker candidate
against Chamberlain i" the general e-
lection than Fulton
Hut the big surprise to the republi
can leaders came when the counting of
the ballots revealed t'm election of
Governor Chamberlain, n domoerat, in
a state which has ulwpyy been consider
ed safely in the republican column. The
governor had no opposition in the dem
ocratic party.
Ptrhapa the greatest shock of all was
occasioned by the discovery that 52
legislators pledged to vote for the
people's choice for the United States
senate had been elected.
Must Elect Domoerat
That -meant, unless these lawmaker?
repudiate fheir pledge!, that tho Oregon
louiaiatiirA which hjifi 77 renublicnn
and 13 democratic members must give
the toga to a democrat. Thoro seems to
be little doubt they will do it, as Cham
berlain's adherents assert the pledged
members would not dare to violute the
: promise they mode to tho voters and
expect any more ravor ai tneir nanas.
However, in the face, of strong pub
lie sentiment favoring Governor Cham
berluin the Fulton supporters think this
will be done that either Fulton will re
tain his seat in the senate or a renubli
can will be elected in his place.
As a Inst resort Senator mi ton is
said to have uppealed sirongly to Pre
ident -elect Tuft and Fionk Hitchcock
chairman of - the republican nat ional
committee, for assistance, pointing nut
. to them that it would be against the
very principals of the republican party
to uarticipate in the ejection of a dem
ucrat to the senate. It is evident that
Taft did not give Fulton any eneour-1
agement.
Further national importance was at
tached to the Oregon contest when the
president on the occasion of Governor
Chamberlain's visit to he capital, greet
ed hint ns "the next senator from Ore
goa." This Incident disheartened the
republicans of this store to a great ex
tent, but it is apparent here that thev
will be prepared to npnng some sort of
a surprise on their opponents when the
. time for voting arrives.
One rumor in circulation today is
that the "anti-statement Nn. 1 men'
have a scheme by which they expect to
Love the election postponed. They
have circulated many petitions asking
voters to Miction the repudiation of
.pledges. How many signatures have
been secured is not kn.-wn, but enough
will b presented to th joint assembly
it is said, to raise a giieition as to their
genuineness.
The anti-statement men predict that
this would result in a postponement of
the final vote, thereby giving them more

Electors Cast Ballots To
day In Capitals o! Var
ious States and Elected
Messengers
WASHINGTON, Jan 11. William
Ifn.vard Tuft was elected President of
the United States by the doctors who
gathered today in tho capital cities of
the various states to cast thoir ballots
for president and vice president.
Although the returns will not be can
vassed by Congress umil next month,
t is confideutully anticipated that Taft
uud Sherman have been successful in
today's olection. :
The principal busiaeso before to-
lay ' sessions of tho state electors was
l bo selection of messengers to carry
the news to Washing ion. Each state
selects such a messenger, and in most of
them there have been many candidates
for the honor.
According to the law the state e-
lectors, at today's sessions, will effect
(heir own organization, select their
residing officers and tellers, cast their
otes and select from I heir number the
messenger to carry a copy of the results
of their vote to be uelivercd to the
speaker of the house of representatives.
Two more copies will he forwarded by
mail, according to tin- constitution of
tho United Stutcs. Congress, having
received all of the electoral votes from
:ill the states pusses upon the result.
Electors Are Free
Iu theory these electors aro free to
hooso whom they please and this was
loaigned to be euso b." the makers of
the constitution but in piuctice they
vote for tho Candida':; nominated by
the party wIiobo electornl ticket they
represent. This they do not in obed
ience to law but to party pledge and
custom, and in American history there
never has been a case where this cus
tom and party pledge was broken.
As thev are pledged, and it is known
to whom thev ure pledged, thero is no
uncertainty about the lesult, which ib
tnerelv a formal ratification of the
hoice of the people. Certified copies
oi the returns of these electornl col
leges are then sent to Washington, are
thero turned over to tho president of
tho senate on tho first Wednesday in
February, in the presence of the senate
and house sitting jointly, nnd there
otinted. As this is merely nn official
count of the vote already counted in
formally and known, this is a mere for
melitv.
Previous Meetings
There are some other interesting facts
connected with the election of a presi
(but that are not generally known,
Men holding places under the govern'
nient are not permitted to act as elect
ors, in lost it was uisceverea inui me
after tho electors were appointed that
North Carolina, New Hampshire and
Connecticut had selected electors who
were dupty postmasters. A Co gress-
ional eommittteo, headed by, Henry
Clay, held that their votes must be re
jected. It happened that Van Buren
wao elected rogardlew of these votes,
but it might easily happen in a close
election, that some mischance would
defeatJfche will of tho states. Also, the
constitution requires that the electors
shall meet on tho name day. In 1K57
u snowstorm kept the Wisconsin elect
ors from meeting until the day fol
lowing the appointed Jute. Tho Georg
ia electors have voted twice on the
wrong day. In none of the cneo did the
irrenular votes count, ttnd In none did
their Ioes change the lesult. The states,
and not the people, elect tho president.
Thus, while in part tht electoral rep
resentatinn Is based upon population
because there Is one elector for each
congressman. In part It is based ou
"state's rights," because there is an
elector for each senatoi, and each state
has two senators regardless of its size.

PROHIBITION
COMES HIGH
Business Man Tells of His
Experience Under Dry
Regime In Other Cities
Medford, Or., Jan. 11.
To tho Editor of tho Tribune:
I notice by a local paper called the
Mail that, the editor asks the people
to take his advice an. I voto for prohi
bition in this city at the election to
be held tomorrow. Ali-i a Mr. Hutchi
son has something to say along the
Hume lines.
Now, sir, it b a safe bet that neither
one of those referred to ever lived or
did business in ft prohibition town. 1
did to my sorrow. Mr. Iliitcliusuit
came here nbout n year and a half ago
from The Dalles, where he was a clerk
in a dry goods store. That city has
saloons, but no one there over heard
him saying a word about them. The
na loons were here whin he came and
the question naturally arises as to why
he did not go to Ashland, Grants I'nss,
Eugene, Roseburg or hundred and one
places where they have exactly what
lie de.it res so badly prohibition. By
doing so he would save hi nine If and
others also a heap i-f I rouble.
Never, Never Again!
Then tho editor nf the local pap-r
referred to never lived or tried to do
business in a prohibit io'i towa. t have
lived and done business iu three differ
ent ones, but I never will again. In
the last one, from a r ce paying bnsi
nesn I lost tl'JOO in the first year of
prohibition. Two of the leaders of
the movement claiiih d t hat hunhirHM
and collections were never belter for
that year, but they sold out for $10,
000 aud confessed to no that during the.
whole time they had lost money. The
firm was Tanner & Sen. and the town
was ('anon City, f'nlo., a place of 15,-
000 peo pi o,
In addition to that, I can state that
1 have visited and had business in over
100 towns during the hint five years,
which has tried prohibition, and it has
been a complete failure in every one of
them. I used to think it was a good
thing myself, but I lenrncd something
by experience. Just n the people will
here, if they decide to give it a trial.
In fact, I could name five st;:tes and 2

Klamath County Court
Pledges Itself to Make

; KLAMATH PALLS, r., Jan. 11.
'I'he, county commissioners refused to
sinko a levy at this term for the con
struct ion of .its shara M' the Crater
Lake road, but they panned a resolution
Saturday pledging themselves to make
tjhii levy when the appioprialioa is hc
fureil from the state and national gov
eminent nnd when the money is needed.
The resolution is as follows:
t "Resolved, That il if the unanimous
floiiliment of tins county court to pro
f-idc at the proper i mho tho road funds
)f $.",oiiil each year loi- two years for
tho construction of tlie port ion of the
proposed stale highway via ('rater lake

pledges that the levy necessary to raise
(he first installment oi such sum will
be made at any tim.1 it r.hall appear
that Mich progress has been made in
the general plans and pioviding of olh
er portions of the fund as will justify

! While Ihe cnmniisvoners were in fa
yor of good roads, thev did not believe
tilint. there was any necessity lo make
n levy at t his t inn; and tie up the
money, when it would probably not be
needed, for at lcasl a year. They, how
ivei have- pledged themselves lo miikc
the lew just as soon ny the money is
needed and the rest of the fund is as
